From the recording I Am / I Was
One of my favourite track ever...
I'll never get tired of listen.
It is so perfect that I tried to re-create a copy, in timing, lenght and notes...
I hope Jimmy would appreciate this fresh new air that I made the track breathes.
I love it so much that I pulled out from the drawer my oboe to play on it...

Lyrics
"If they ever drop the bomb, " you said
"I'll find you in the flames"
But now we act like people
Who don't know each other's names
Well, sometimes it makes me sad, you know
Sometimes it makes me smile
'Cause you know how the game goes, honey
We all eat it once in awhile
Scissors cut, paper covers rock
Breaks the shining scissor
You hurt me, I hurt her
And she goes and he will miss her
Well I sure am glad I found someone
I hope that you do too
That is gonna take a lot to fill
All the shoes of me and you
Now I look around at people
Playin' children's games
And I wonder if you're still thinkin'
You might find me somewhere in flames
Scissors cut, paper covers rock
Breaks the shining scissor
You hurt me, I hurt her
And she goes and we will miss her
Scissors cut, paper covers rock
Breaks the shining scissor
You hurt me, I hurt her
And she, she goes and he will miss her
Scissors cut, paper covers rock
Breaks the shining scissor
You hurt me and, I hurt her and she
Goes and he will miss her
