ed's redeeming qualities - alan lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
alan went to the winstons’ dinner party
8 o’clock, thursday night
they told him to bring a friend if he wanted
he didn’t because he didn’t want to

oh, alan bought enough wine for a party of seven
but when he buys food, he shops for one
last week, he decided he was born for the [?] forest
last week, he decided he’d prefer to be alone

[chorus]
on the sidewalk outside their house
alan almost decided not to go in
for fifteen years, they’ve been a team of three
for a week now, he’s loved her

[verse 2]
one time, bob and laura winston and alan
drove all night for old time’s fried chicken
one time, they, all three of them, almost bought a funky restaurant
one time, they nursed each other through some asiatic flu

alan liked to read, and he liked old movies, and he liked to get up early
he liked to go downtown without saying “i’m going out now”
he had -ssorted girlfriends, but they never stayed over
he was thinking now that maybe it’s because in the dawn he’d see they weren’t laura

[chorus]
the winstons served lasagna
and alan had four pieces
they laughed at his appet-te
but alan wasn’t laughing

[verse 3]
when laura went to the kitchen to get the coffee and cream and sugar
alan followed her in his head
he could see the curve of her back as she matched cups and saucers
he could see he was spoiling his chances of being anyone’s best friend

bob asked alan if he wanted a slug of brandy
alan said he better not, he was feelin’ kinda funny
laura heard and asked him if she could get him something else
alan said could he see them tomorrow?

[outro]
oh alan
oh alan
oh alan
oh
