Ida Marlowe Lyrics by Keep Left

Keep Left

0

"How could a whole generation of parents have gone so wrong?"
She says that kids today ain't no good
"Running around at all hours of the night with the music on. They're really bringing down the neighbourhood."
And her husband just stares off into space
A mere shadow of the verile man he was
The missus has words
The missus has words for us:
"Get out! Get out!... Get out of my driveway, keep your cat out my yard. Get out! get out!"
...What could ever have made Ida Marlowe so hard?
Long ago she spent her winters on the job and her summers at the shore
She always says that working hard pays
Times have changed for the worst in the eyes and the mind of the woman next door
She longs and prays for the good old days
And the boys keep playing that rock and roll next door
She cannot sleep or hear herself think
It's gonna be nearly impossible to take much more
The missus has half a mind
Half a mind to make a stink
'Get out! get out!... Quit banging on the drum, turn down that guitar! Get out! get out!'
...What could ever have made Ida Marlowe so hard?
