words and music by Robyn Hitchcock (email downstyle of capitalization mine all mine mine mine):
linda ryan in the sky
i seen her laughing
but i never seen her cry
she took her fireman
it was her half-empty flight
he brought his hose and
everything just turned out right
i’m just watching…
german leather
a german tongue
lapping pleasure
when’s he’s rubbery and young
he played the oboe
i thought he would
he does it better
than a guitarist like me could
i’m just watching, don’t mind me…
i’m just watching on my own…

life is easy
life goes by
linda ryan
she’s still up there in the sky
thank you linda
she doesn’t age
despite the weather
she looks the same on every page
i’m just watching, don’t mind me
i’m just watching on my own
i got no feelings
i got no friends
i’ve got insurance
and i despise those who pretend
life’s a movie
life’s a dream
i love you baby
things are always what they seem
i’m just watching, don’t mind me…
i’m just watching on my own…
