The Downtalkers - Our Friend Jim Lyrics

Well Jim found a brick at a garbage sale and he bought it
He wrapped it up and gave it to his new girlfriend
Well she took to the brick and Jim took to the door
She taught the brick to fly then Jim hit the floor singing
(La la la la la)
And Jim slams the door
But she holds the papers higher, higher
He tried so hard to expose her
But she pulled out the carpets and Jim came closer singing
From day to day-ay
Suffocated by a conversation
She keeps the basement door locked tight
And only meets him for a confrontation, or a
Disagreement, a disagreement, a disagreement
So many disagreements, singing
Well Jim got himself a brand new doctor
Who gave him a little tin of mints
The little tin said "effects may vary"
Stagger Lee missed the minor and he shot the canary, singing
(La la la la la)
And Jim grips the wheel
But she holds the keys now higher, higher
He tried so hard to expose her
And she pulled out the carpet and Jim came closer singing
From day to day
She's suffocated by her conversations
She keeps the basement door locked tight
And only meets him for a confrontation or a
Disagreement, a disagreement, a disagreement, so many disagreements, they're singing
Don't beat yourself up about it
It's not your fault
You couldn't see the thorns as you picked up the pretty rose
Don't beat yourself up about it
It's not your fault
You wouldn't see the thorns as you picked up the pretty rose
Our friend Jim
