lyrics

Jenny...oh Jenny it’s strange to see the almost desperate urgency with which these guys will phrase their questions. And you look so radiant, yet visibly bored. You issue bland quotes they cannot distort or compress, because they’ve hurt you before. Do they know and do they care? Their lights just follow you everywhere. Though the things they do still seem intolerable to you it still looks like its settled in their favour. But, Jenny, I’ll be around. Met up with Kate and Andrew at Marshall’s Pub. I told them that you sent your love; they got wistful and changed the subject. But some ghosts, some ghosts they linger without pause due to Canadian Content Laws. Your song is playing on the ride home, and (chorus).
