vic chesnutt - ghetto bells lyrics

ghetto bells lyrics
[spoken]
well, here’s a little story about ghetto bell’s
now, it must have been about, i don’t know… nineteen eighty… err, um
i’m not exactly sure when. but you know, and, um, i wasn’t very…how would i say? “ambitious”
i mean, i did, i did, i did twinkle a bit, i would say. my, uh, whatever my parents gave me, i did twinkle a bit

but, um, well anyway, i found myself homeless, but i only made like two hundred dollars a month from welfare. and so i was taking that money and mostly
da+rinking it! and, uh, so anyway, i did have a van

now, where i used to live, you see, there was a grocery store in the, well, how would i say, not the best part of town. it was a locally own grocery store and they owned a couple of grocery stores. the name of it was bell’s. so anyway the one in the good part of town was called yuppie bell’s. i didn’t shop there

so anyway, i used to always go into the ghetto bell’s to get my thirty cent loaf of bread and i would shop lift a turkey ham. yeah, i shoplifted turkey hall

but anyway, i found myself homeless, and so i lived in ghetto bell’s parking lot, for about four months, in my van. i used to say that the payphone was my office and i told everybody that after four in the morning, if you want me, you know where i am
so, anyway, they closed ghetto bell’s. they shut it down. i couldn’t believe it. they were gonna close ghetto bell’s. they were closing ghetto bell’s. they said it was because too many people were shoplifting

d+mn, man. i loved ghetto bell’s! i can’t believe that my dirty little dealings shut that place down, man

that’s a lot of d+mn turkey ham!

i guess there’s a moral to this story. it’s pretty easy to see, i must say. pretty darn easy to see!
