about

I'm always the last to know. But when I finally get around to knowing something, I end up REALLY knowing it. Sometimes that's good. Sometimes that's bad. Here it's bad.

lyrics

The Uptake

I don’t know but I’ve been told
I wish I’d been there to see it
The truth rings the things everyone seems to know
But that don’t happen to me

I’ve never been to quick to pick something up
My cup has run over for learning
But one thing I know and never will forget
You set my heart ‘a burning

I went down to the corner store
And bumped into Billy
Well he went and taught me
Something new
I guess I was the last one
To know once again
Still I don’t believe
That it’s true

Do you want to know how a man like me goes about
getting something to stick there in his mind
To learn how to learn listen to me now
And you do what I do in kind

Make one mistake and then you’ll awake
And everything around you will be different
The floorboards will be creaking the sink will have a leak
And her perfume will be fading away
