Well being young and dumb I really didn't "get" The River for a long time. I still remember when it came on that day I thought WFT was that? I also remember the next song that came on was by a band named Angel City, most people never heard of them. I thought now this is more like it, thumping bass and screaming guitars.
Song was:
Marseilles
Bought me a box of french cigars
Bought me a black beret
Get my french from a girl next door
Teaching me night and day
Got me thinking `bout the south of France
Vis-a-vis vous
Pack my suitcase, take a chance
Got nothing to lose
Gimme the sound of the rolling dice
Gimme a whiskey, don't think twice
Deal me the card that takes my blues away
Take me away to Marseilles
Fast train, jet plane, money to burn
Don't ask the reason why
Drinkin' champagne, playin' it cool
Don't even have to try, baby
Gimme the sound of the rolling dice
Gimme a whiskey, don't think twice
Deal me the card that takes my blues away
Take me away to Marseilles
Nothing like being young and getting laid to make you remember the sight, sound and smell of everything. Can replay it in slow motion a couple decades later.
