wigram road
Well this one started about room mates. Some of it’s true... the gelignite story is, the blankets, the deferment.... Now the lawnmower bit & the second story fall happened to someone else but I assume they’re true also
Remember you back on Wigram Road big room down the end of the hall
Double bed wasted on a single man you had Trotsky all over the wall
The gelignite by your nightstand was more than I could take
Seemed to me like a casualty, waitin’ for the big mistake
Met you at that party, was a strange summertime affair.
You were talkin’ to some Lebanese girl there was a scented atmosphere
We all went out the windows when they came kickin’ in the door
Stumbled round outside on the ground, went back lookin’ for more
(chorus) Oh… did someone save me
Sometimes it’s hard to tell
Oh … was it you who saved me
Saved me, Yeah saved me from myself
Then we made our getaway took a car, drove all night
Unsure what we were lookin’ for found the only town in sight
They refused us service held us down tried to cut our hair
They couldn’t get the mower to start so we broke right out of there
We were all up on the second floor Genie said it’s time to leave
We all froze when you stepped out the window some things are too hard to believe
When you hit the pavement you were laughin’ like a fool
Too high to die you said birds can fly, you thought that you could too
chorus) Oh… was it you who saved me
Sometimes it’s hard to tell
Oh … was it you who saved me
Saved me, Yeah saved me from myself
Winter came & the days got dark there’s a chill always in the air
We took blankets from the hospital just to shield us from despair
When I got my deferment I marked the days off on the wall
You never did get called up so you, didn’t care at all
Seemed we were gettin’ nowhere, things went from bad to worse
Dishes piled up in the sink bad habits became a curse
Finally everything fell apart we went our separate ways
I picked up all the bits & pieces & threw ‘em all away
(chorus) Oh… did someone save me
Sometimes it’s hard to tell
Oh … was it you who saved me
Saved me, Yeah saved me from myself
