about

just another break-up song in the grand, time-honored tradition. ironically, this song was written well before i was in a relationship with a girl who grew up in new orleans.
as the song says (autobiographically) i had never been there, but aways wanted to go. that relationship gave me occasion to go there twice :)

lyrics

how can you say i never think of you/everytime i do/i do
how can you say it's not a crime/burst my bubble now the trouble's all mine

you were my favorite/must it be worn out yet/where are you now

never made it to new orleans/won't be starring in any more love scenes/with you/now that you've made your choice/i'm saving boxes for/all my toys

we're all subject to change/ain't it strange/how you can look but still not see/man i need the subject to change/'cos we're estranged/from where i want to be

don't rummage through old sentiments/or contemplate how cards go from sender/to resent/she said i really ought to read this book/such a sweet face issuing such a dirty look

she said it's alright/just build a new kite/fly it farther from the trees

the stain is already set/your regards are my regret/given to the terse demand/closer to the vest/perhaps a little underdressed/we've dropped the ampersand
