lyrics

Andy said he can’t turn all the screws anymore
That’s when he left the whole thing up to Lou
And a man can be a man, but can he pay his dues anymore?
Like the Velvets in time before Doug Yule

Doug Yule, Doug Yule, life just can’t be this cruel
Why can’t I feel the vestige of a new beginning?
Doug Yule, Doug Yule, God tell me it’s not true
I swear I’ve got another record in me

Now when I was an educator, I was at my best
I demonstrated promise on the inkblot test
Now there’s oil over my chain link vest
And the worst I dreamt of is happening

I’ve rehearsed and rehearsed
That my life is a curse
I’ve been driven away in a rudderless hearse
I’ve made things that we’re merely awful much much much much much worse (much worse, much worse)

Doug Yule, Doug Yule, hey, do you feel these things too?
Do you long to carry on what should be ending?
Doug Yule, Doug Yule, God spare me one more year through
I swear I’ve got another record in me

Everybody told me when I had a child
That my heart would be full
That my pride would run wild
But my god, I looked down on that day, and I felt nothing.

And Lou was a beast
And Seznick’s a liar
And sure, no one liked “Squeeze”
But at least we walked through the fire
Hey, you and me Doug, we should have joined the Mingus dynasty

Doug Yule, Doug Yule, life just can’t be this cruel
Why can’t I feel the vestige of a new beginning?
Doug Yule, Doug Yule, please spare me one more year through
I swear I’ve got another record in me
