You Can't Put Your Arms Around a Memory Songtext
von V-Twin

This one′s for you, Johnny

It doesn't pay to try
All the smart boys know why
It doesn′t mean I didn't try
I just never know why

It isn't ′cause I′m all alone
Oh, baby, you're not home
And when I′m home
Big deal, I'm still alone

It′s so restless as I am
Beat my head against a pole
Try to knock some sense
Down 'side my bones
And even though I don′t show
Those guys are so old


Can't put your arms around a memory
Can't put your arms around a memory
Can′t put your arms around a memory
Don′t try
Don't try

You′re just a bastard kid
And you got no name
Could you live with me?
Go on and say
And even though it don't show
Those studs are so old

Can′t put your arms around a memory
Can't put your arms around a memory
Can′t put your arms around a memory
Don't try
Don't try

Johnny, you′re me
Yeah, your memory
I want to put my arms around your memory


I can′t try
I can't try
Don′t try
Come on
L-A-M-F
Like a motherfucker

Yo Johnny
What colour were her eyes?
Oh, she was wearing shades?
Fuck it
