THE CARDIGANS LYRICS - Good Morning Joan

"Good Morning Joan"



Good morning Joan, now pick up your phone

It was bad but just a dream and you are remembered

Put on something pretty, go back to the city

In town the sky's just space, no starlight in your face



Listen to Eve, she's got stuff up her sleeve

To her there's no excuse, you've gotta use before you get used

Or talk to Louise, she knows all about freezin'

She got lost in early May and now it's December



I'd call on you if I could

If you were less like me, I would



Good morning Joan, did you wake up alone?

Did you dream you woke up happy with a phone book full of names?

Just forget about Mary, she says everything's scary

She got locked inside her skin, get near her, she'll drag you in



I'd call on you if I could

If you were less like me I would



Save you from this if I could

If you were less like me, God knows I would

Save you from this, spare us all this shit

But you're all just like me, so I quit



My name is yours, can I sleep on your floor?

See, my heroes changed their minds and I lost my numbers
