Lyrics

The more you live, the more you lose
I lost you far too young
I need to return back all of your demos
You made when you were 21
We weren't just lovers, more like brothers
I was Abel and you were Cain
We put all of our fury into the music
Every day another song
You showed me The Replacements and Dinosaur Junior
The Beatles, yes, you preferred John
XTC and Daniel Lanois and Bonita Applebum
I wish I could play you my songs right now
I wish the world knew who you were
A brilliant producer who never even had a single day in the sun
I understand your last moment was a laugh
Leaning too far back in your chair
The joke is life, if we care to look
You dared to look, yes, you dared
You showed me The Replacements and Dinosaur Junior
The Beatles, yes, you preferred John
XTC and Daniel Lanois and Bonita Applebum
You showed me the replacements and Dinosaur Junior
The Beatles, yes, you preferred John
XTC and Daniel Lanois and Bonita Applebum
Bonita Applebum, Bonita Applebum
Bonita Applebum
