Jonathan Vassar & Duncan Adams - New Brownsville Girl

Flashback to a week ago
I was wearing this same shirt
Remember, this is all from memory
But I'm pretty sure

I was listening to a song about a girl
And a movie starring Gregory Peck
And how fame will always haunt you
Like a sign on your back

And I was reminded of something you said
"No rest for the famous"
I asked you what you meant - you said
"It's good enough to be the best"

I don't remember who we were talking about
Maybe it was Ida Lupino
You can remember for the both of us
And I'll just know that you know

I think about the first time you went out with me
I still love how you said it
You said: "I only cry at the movies
And always stay to watch the credits"

I was listening to a song about a girl
And a movie starring Gregory Peck
And how fame will always haunt you
Like a sign on your back
