As I Recall Songtext
von Kevin Coyne

I was talking to your father
He never said a word
I was talking to your mother
Squat and absurd

I was talking to your cousin
He never spoke to me
I was talking to your sister
She was married and unfree

I was talking to the priest
He told me what to do
I kept on talking
But he never told the truth

I was talking to the world
But they all laughed at me
I was talking to you
Why don′t you talk to me?

You never talk to me
You never try to see
As I recall, as I recall


You got me walking on water
Pretending I'm God
You got me flying
A lazy little sod

You got me creeping
Doing everything I can
To prove to you
That I really am a man

You never talk to me
You never try to see
As I recall, as I recall.

You can see my flesh wound
See my little scar
You can see me crashing
In some unknown car

You can see me dying
On some lonely road
You can see me feeling my way
But nowhere to go

You never talk to me
You never try to see
As I recall, as I recall.


I′ve got a good memory
As I recall, such a good memory
As I recall, such a good memory

I never forget a thing, as I recall,
I never forget a thing you know you had me as I recall, as I recall
Remember me, I was your friend, I was your friend, I was your friend
