From: Johan Kristian Sveen <johans@ifi.uio.no> >From the 1973 release "Closing Time", this is the tune many refer to as the song "closing Time" (wrong!!). The song "closing time" is an instrumental piece at the end of the album! I hope that I don't fall in love with you (Tom Waits) -------------------------------------------------------
I hCope that I don't Ffall in love with Gyou Cause Cfalling in lFove just makes me blGue Well the mFusic plays and Cyou display your Fheart for me to Csee I Fhad a beer and Cnow I hear you Fcalling out to Gme And I Chope that I don't Ffall in love with Gyou.
Now the room is crowded, people everywhere And I wonder should I offer you a chair Well if you sit down with this old clown, he'll take that frown and break it Before the evening's gone away, I think that we could make it And I hope that I don't fall in love with you Now the night does funny things inside a man These old tomcat feelings you don't understand I turn around and look at you, you light a cigarette Wish I had the guts to bum one, but we've never met And I hope that I don't fall in love with you And I can see that you are lonesome just like me And I'm feeling like you'd like some company Well I turn around to look at you, and you look back at me The guy you're with is up and split, the chair next to you's free And I hope that you don't fall in love with me Now it's closing time, the music's fading out Last call for drinks I'll have another stout I turn around and look at you, you're nowhere to be found I search the place for your lost face, I guess I'll have another round and I think that I just fell in love with you --------- from: Johan Kristian Sveen University of Oslo, Norway Dept. of Mechanics
