Alex Chilton (2020 Remaster) Songtext
von The Replacements

If he was from Venus, would he feed us with a spoon?
If he was from Mars, wouldn′t that be cool?
Standing right on campus, would he stamp us in a file?
Hangin' down in Memphis all the while

Children by the million sing for Alex Chilton when he comes ′round
They sing, "I'm in love
What's that song?
I′m in love with that song"

Cerebral rape and pillage in a village of his choice
Invisible man who can sing in a visible voice
Feeling like a hundred bucks, exchanging good lucks face to face
Checkin′ his stash by the trash at St. Mark's place


Children by the million sing for Alex Chilton when he comes ′round
They sing, "I'm in love
What′s that song?
I'm in love with that song"

I never travel far
Without a little Big Star

Runnin′ 'round the house
Mickey Mouse and the tarot cards
Falling asleep with a flop-pop video on
And if he was from Venus, would he meet us on the moon?
If he died in Memphis, then that'd be cool, babe

Children by the million wait for Alex Chilton when he come around
They sing, "I′m in love
What′s that song?
I'm in love with that song"

I′m in love
What's that song?
Yeah, I′m in love with that song
