Colette Songtext
von Langhorne Slim

All I wanted was a good song and a fair friend
You came along just then
You gave me crazy love and you whispered,
["You′ve got a bottle and nobody that you're missing."]

I wasn′t much of a fighter or a lover
You said, ["Don't get excited but take cover."]
We stepped into the light, took pictures of each other
Some were in black and white, the others were in color

Colette, I knew the second we met
You'd go to my head
I took a breath and lept into the atmosphere
I guess it was something you′d said,
["We′re wrestling with death."]
Well it must seem pretty clear
That I love you
Yes I do

Colette, I knew the second we met
You'd go to my head
I took a breath and lept into the atmosphere
I guess it was something you′d said,
["We're wrestling with death."]
Well, it must seem pretty clear
That I love you
Yes I do

Here she comes
Here she comes
Oh, here she comes
Here she comes
Here she comes


Colette, I knew the second we met
You'd go to my head
We took a breath and lept into the atmosphere
I guess it was something you′d said,
["We′re wrestling with death."]
Now, it must seem pretty clear
That I love you
Yes I do
