about

A lonely woman and her child leave London and head for Alabama.
A very modern take on a country & western style song.
A journey, where she meets and falls in love with a man named 'Honest Joe'. The ending is DEATH.

lyrics

LONDON TO ALABAMA
RENU

Verse 1
Slowly things become better
When life trickles past
Eaten by your love hate letter
You were not supposed to last

Chorus
Memories keep flooding forward
Tears I cannot hold
I know *5
I must be bold

Verse 2
She took the last train to Alabama
The 9-5 she would try
The things that push and pull, pull and tug ya
London has drained her dry

Chorus
Memories keep flooding forward
Tears I cannot hold
I know *5
I must be bold

Bridge
A daughter she must feed
A journey she must take
A story she must read
I hope it has a happy ending


Bridge in French
Un fille que doit nurrie
Un histoire que'll doit libre
Un voyage que'll doit faire
Je spare te tout irra-bien


Verse 3
She met a man in the local diner
He introduced himself as 'Honest Joe'
He took her hand
And placed a ring on her finger
And he asked her if she would be his beau?

Chorus
Memories keep flooding forward
Tears I can not hold
I know *5

Djembe Train solo

Verse 4
The neighbors said they hadn't seen her
Maybe for a week or so
A lot of bruising, screaming, punching, fighting
They blamed it all on Honest Joe

Chorus
Memories keep flooding forward
Tears can not hold
I know *5

She was DEAD
