I've got a song you should play in the band
We’ll fire it out on Elton John's baby grand
They'll take our portrait in the lower east side
But it’s taking forever for you to decide
I called up a favour for seats at the show
The unremarkable death of Marilyn Monroe
Your ex heard about it and he gave you a bell
Said you're covering shifts just so I couldn't tell
Corner to corner
Fold down the line
You sent off your letter to politely decline
Dinner at the Wolseley it's a hell of a time
Exhausting the host and drinking all of the wine
Loretta you know I'd feel better
Oh, Loretta let me come and get ya
You make your lovers wait forever
I don't think that you're mine
You've already changed your mind
All my life in a line
And I don’t wanna waste my time
I’m not in the ring to contend for the prize
I'm still biding my time because I’m trying to be wise
I'll light a candle for the days that go by
But I won't spill the wax on my brand new Kawai
I think of you often when my moods going down
To the corner of Sophies or the wrong side of town
I buried the hatchet there not to be found
But I'm snooping around at the burial ground
There’s a reservation for T.Truman tonight
You mentioned you like the place now tell me I'm right
Pick what you fancy, choose the best cabernet
And tell me you'll stay
Loretta you know I'd feel better
Oh, Loretta let me come and get ya
You make your lovers wait forever
I don't think that you're mine
You've already changed your mind
All my life in a line
And I don't wanna waste my time
