when you pushed me down
sat me in my red chair
i looked dumb
staring at your curly hair
stroking the back of your neck
some european romantic
and i strummed my detuned guitar
in my underwear
those days they're all but gone
i stayed locked in my room
i could hear your banter
then i heard your friends ranting
about my records and all my mistakes
then i grabbed a hammer
imagine how i break his face
those days they're all but gone
i wrote a few love songs
some on dying men
when i start a conversation with women
i don't know where to begin
they start laughing then it ends
they start laughing then it ends
there it is
and i leave once, you know i'll never come back
and if i did, i'd be as nervous as a hungry rat
i don't ever wanna be compared
to a scoundrel looking for food
i don't ever wanna be a vagrant
a vagrant like you
those days they're all but gone
