Joe Cahill: Music

INTRO
Can't go out in the rain
I'm stuck at home reading the Bagavad Gita
Wanna go back today
Wanna be there
Wanna see ya
Again
VERSE 1
I saw you at the comic book store
You said hello
But your smile saiaid more
I like you
I like you

I saw you dancin'
At all tomorow's parties
At Otto's, Arlene's
Dellancey and SSardi's
Posi livin Punk girll won't you notice me
Won't you look at me
Won't ya talk to me
CHORUS
I'm a stranger on ST Mark's Place
You don't recognize my face
I'm A stranger
Stranger
A stranger on St. Mark's Place
Verse 2
He'
s an indie Rock singer
We never heard of him before
He sounds real Punk
What's the score?
I think she really likes him
What a disgrace
I'm in last place
He won that race
CHORUS
Verse 3
Hey i really dig this
I think you're feelin' it too
Haven't said it in so many words but I love you
I love you
But hey where you goin'?
Don't leave me alone
I need you by my side
It's cold out here on my own CHORUS
AUTHOR'S NOTE
Stanger on ST. mark's Place was inspired by a trip to the lowe East Side where I saw these kids cursing out a sixteen year old girl. She just ignored them and croosed the street to the comic book store. That inspired the love story "at the Comic book store'.
For the intro, I wrote the original lyric and not the words you hear on the finished recording. it's only one word different; Wanna go back today. was the origianl poem but when it came time to cut the record, I said wanna go back again.
The clubs mentioned in verse one are actual places in Manhattan. Otto's is Otto's Shrunken Head, a Punk Rock club in the East Village. Arlene's is Arlene's Grocery, a legendary Rock mecca also in the East Village. Delleancey is the Dellancey club located where else but on Dellancey Street on the Lower East Side. Sardi's is a popular hangout for actors and artistes and is located on the West Side. You may remembe it from the Bette Davis film "All About Eve".
