lyrics

One conversation I’ll always remember
Was a place where the weather had forced me to stay
A man with my accent and a face fill of stories
Had caused me to look his way
A few drinks of whiskey had bought me his story
I looked in his eyes as he looked back in mine
“I’m off in the morning to the North East of England
To leave for the final time”

Put your faith in the one who tries
Don’t gossip and don’t tell lies
When in doubt buy a larger size
Listen to what I’m saying.
Never trust a judgemental man
Listen to those you are younger than
And be good just because you can
Listen to what I’m saying.

Well he got my attention, of that there’s no question
So I got the drinks in and he carried on
He told me of an angel he fell for in Brooklyn
September, 2001
Around that time - the tests said “condition is now in remission”
All said, it wasn’t the greatest of years
Eleven years later the words on the paper
Just made his decision clear

Make up after every fight,
Always kiss your girl goodnight
Don’t buy underwear too tight
Listen to what I’m saying.
Shower even if there ain’t no stink
Stop caring what people think
Always buy the first round of drinks
Listen to what I’m saying.

He made plans that he’d go and leave incognito
With a letter so she’d know he’d met someone new
If she don’t find someone and learn how to move on
This death would take her life too.
That night I slept restless, my heart in a screw press
Til next day at breakfast I saw him again
He was pawning this story for bacon and coffee
And he smiled as he called my name
He said “I hope you listened to what I was saying!”

Learn how to shut your trap
’Til you’ve got a good answer back
Admire in others what you lack
Listen to what I’m saying
When in doubt do something kind
Be prepared to change your mind
And always leave the past behind
Listen to what I’m saying
