The Singing Patient (Carla): MP3s

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)
• MP3 play whole song, lo-fi (modem)

special thanks are due to Joe giacoio, who convinced me to put teh bridge back into the song, and Al C Smarr, who moved his ham radio antenna so we could record. He had connected it to a chain link fence and it was broadcasting through the electrical outlets in the studio.
Oh, wait that was the first studio. We never used that version. Well, thansk anyway, Al. I actually recorded Her Fabulous Debut about 3 times before I was happy with it- in Atlanta, Nashville, and finally my home state of South Carolina.

Television's been good to me
24-hour availability
I flip the channels and fill my head
All that talk and nothing is said
It reminds me of you

Credit cards are my best friends
If I only had a nickel for every dollar I spend
But the money's gone when the bills come in
Feels like a typical fair-weather friend
It reminds me of you

Chocolate is my best bet
I'll eat as much as I can get
Have to admit it hasn't failed me yet
For a moment of pleasure and days of regret
It reminds me of you

I like the things that taste too sweet
And shine too much and look too sleek
And seem too easy and move too fast
I always find the snake in the grass

But if I can't have what's good and true
I guess I'll take the substitute
I close my eyes I take the stuff
The problem is, there's never enough ...

Old faithful alcohol
Turncoatingest of them all
A few good times I can barely recall
But I remember the endless withdrawal
It reminds me of you

I'm gonna go cold turkey again
Take a vacation from you my friend
I'll be back ... I don't know when
Maybe when I've forgotten again
To remind me of you
