story / Pretty Good Year Songtext
von Tori Amos

Tears on the sleeve of a man
Don′t want to be a boy today
I heard the eternal footman
Bought himself a bike to race

And Greg he writes letters and burns his CDs
They say you were something in those formative years
Hold onto nothing as fast as you can

Well, still, pretty good year
Pretty good


Maybe a bright sandy beach
Is gonna bring you back, back, back
Maybe not, so now you're off
You′re gonna see America
Well let me tell you something about...
America

Pretty good year
A-ha, pretty good

Some things are melting now
Some things are melting now
Well, hey
What's it gonna take
'Til my baby′s all right?
What′s it gonna take
'Til my baby′s all right?

Greg, he writes letters with his birthday pen
Sometimes he's aware that they′re drawing him in
Lucy was pretty, your best friend agreed


Well, still, pretty good year
A-ha, pretty good
A-ha, pretty good year
