letra de isaac’s lament - uncle bonsai

Loading...

[verse 1]
he walks over to the window
and without a hesitation
he goes out

i run over to the window
and i see him hit the sidewalk
like a trout

with a moment’s indecision
i can almost see him moving
then i see the splattered pavement
and i feel it’s almost soothing
’cause i know he didn’t suffer
any more than was the norm
he lived life the way he found it
and he left it true to form

he was standing by the tv
when i saw his eyes roll upward
in his head

i came over to the tv
just to find out what the anchorman
had said

with a little human interest
and some filler for the waiting
they were speaking of replacements
and a failure in the ratings
and my friend looked pale then paler
as his body lost his breath
and i listened and discovered
what would send him to his death

[chorus]
oh gopher
gopher’s being fired
contracts have expired
love has been retired
buried out at sea

[verse 2]
every afternoon in college
he’d sit down and pour himself
another brew

just to soon forsake his knowledge
for an hour’s entertainment
with the crew

with a tub of b-ttered popcorn
and a can or two of soda
he gets sucked into the programs
like he has to make some quota
’till he knows what’s gonna happen
’cause he’s seen them all before
and the endless double-takes
just make him want it even more

[chorus]
oh isaac
isaac’s overtired
julie’s been un-hired
love is uninspired
sinking in the bay
the love boat
love boat’s dropped its anchor
bought out by some banker
hired out as a tanker
drifting by —

oh aaron
spelling, you’re a g*nius
no one could have seen this
running all these years
won’t you tell us
aaron
where’d you get the notion
love upon the ocean
blazing new frontiers?

[verse 3]
when he heard the sad decision
there was sorrow and confusion
in the home

he turned off the television
and he came to his conclusion
on his own

with a sigh of desperation
he gave into his depression
he went out to greet the concrete
where he made his last impression
and our paper want a statement
’cause the public wants to know:
was it just the cancellation
of a favorite tv show?

[chorus]
the love boat
love boat slowly sinking
vicki started thinking
merrill has been drinking
one more for the —
love boat
love boat has been grounded
doc is still dumbfounded
all ash0r-‘s been sounded
nowhere left to go
