lyrics

STOOD UP

You said you’d meet me at quarter to five

And I’m sitting in the quarter past six café

The Chinese girl brings another fortune cookie
And it’s cracked like the coffee cup
It says:

Na Na, na na na na, hey poor boy

And I’m still sitting here
Wish you were here

But you never showed up
I guess you stood me up
It’s just me and the cup
I guess you stood me up
Why you left me here?

Got to the bottom of my coffee cup
Expected a duck

But no luck

I’m still here at the quarter to seven slot
Another cobweb on the hands of the clock

Na Na, na na na na, hey poor boy

And I’m still sitting here
Wish you were here

But you never showed up
It’s just me and the cup
I guess you stood me up
‘Cause you never showed up
Why you left me here?

Of his music, Matthew wrote: “Here lay psychological metal, verbose pop, queasy balladry, and odd trips.” ... more
