I've been trying to remember who did (whatever song it was that I once loved so much), which I can now finally say was and is "Back of My Hand" by the Jags since, like, 1993.

Or whenever it was at around that time that I realized that all I could remember about it was:

(a) that I loved it;

(b) it had a refrain that sounded like "I'm not a Beatle boot, I'm not a Beatle boot"; and

(c) it got a lot of play on the only NYC station that played power pop at the same time as:



So basically, there's one less hole in my heart now than there has been for decades, thanks to you.

I owe you.

When the working day is done
I refuse to belong to anyone.
And at night when I try to sleep
I hear the house of commerce in my dreams...

Somehow, someone, somewhere
owns everything I do.
Somehow, someone, somewhere
owns all of me and owns all of you.

There's no charge,
there's no crime,
but we're all doing time.
To be honest there's not much I can do
but to sing a bad ballad for you.
I could suggest sabotage,
but success might prove a mirage.

'cause Somehow, someone, somewhere
owns everything I do.
Somehow, someone, somewhere
owns all of me and owns all of you.

C2W, I'm so stoked that I could help!

I owe you.

I don't think so. Just subtract it from my tab.

She knows that I've been doing something wrong
But she won't say anything
She thinks that I was with my friends yesterday
But she won't mind me lying,..

Oh my god. Quit being so delightful immediately. Because now I owe you a buy-back too. By which I mean:

Really? Thank you!

hey C2W why didn't you just ask for the name of "that song that sounded like a poor man's Elvis Costello?" ...would've known it immediately.
