lyrics

He used to keep a photograph by his bed
But now in its place he stubs out his cigarette
He used to keep a little bit of self respect
But what he learned from love
You couldn’t take a picture of
You can’t learn it from films
Of Jesse Starr or Jimmy Dean

It’s not on TV or in a book or on the silver screen
The love that I’m thinking of
Could blow the whole world across

(…films of Jesse Starr or Jimmy Dean
In the movies all you get is some TV queen
The love I’m thinking of could blow
this whole world across)

He pours himself another drink again
And I bet he’ll drink so much
That you forget his name

He’s gonna drink until the whole world
Looks the same
And he’ll drink and he’ll drink all night
As much as the stars are as bright as
Jesse Starr and Jimmy Dean
I can see right through your TV screen
The love that I’m thinking of could blow this whole world across
