Cover of “Bruno Is Orange (Hop Along, Queen Ansleis) by P.S. Eliot

bruno, what did you tell that man?
he’s a clever man, did you know?
i bet he works for the goverment.
and i know you know i know
i can’t control thoughts of things i needed
i believe everybody needs some encouragement.

i think it’s real unfair
that you should put him there.
all we did is kiss
on my grave, i swear
where did you find his shoes?
the lock of my hair?
all we did is kiss
on my grave, i swear

some dull morning we were wearing sheets
and he whispered, “i think that they know better than me.”
see this hand that pushed you into the creek?
i’m sorry, ‘was just fun, and you were laughing
we were running towards the street
and i wrote my name into the fresh painted yellow line
and you wrote your name right there next to mine.

we had to dodge a truck
he almost hit us but
i think we had some luck
and for two bucks
we bought some bread
and fed the grey geese
and the ducks.

everyone will come
everyone will yell
i’d thank you just the same
if you didn’t tell
my mother says that i will surely go to hell.
please be a good man
please say you won’t tell

did you know that that boy is an armed man,
bearing flowers into hands?
very able to hold me down
(and love me more than anyone)
bruno, what happened to your good sense?
i broke down, that man’s good
i bet he works for the government
did you hear about that mother?
broke her daughter’s legs in two
and said, “it’s too dangerous out there to walk, so i had to save you.”

i think it’s real unfair
that you should put him there.
all we did is kiss
on my grave, i swear
where did you find his shoes?
a lock of my hair?
all we did is kiss
on my grave, i swear

everyone will come
everyone will yell
i’d thank you just the same
if you didn’t tell
my mother says that i will surely go to hell.
please be a good man
please say you won’t tell

bruno, did you know that the greeks in morning would eat oranges?
they were firm believers in fruit-curing fevers
and i agree
see, they believe that an orange warms the stomach.

the greatest song covered by the greatest band
