lyrics

Charlie Dick

Charlie Dick will break your heart
He will tear your soul apart;
Make you laugh and make you cry, Mama wished you’d kiss ‘Goodbye’
Charlie Dick will break your heart.

Well, you meet him in a bar
And he knows who you are...
(You’re) thinking all he wants to do, is have his way with you
And cop a 10 minute screw

So he finds out where you work
Comes there acting like a jerk
So you tell him ‘Take a walk’, saying ‘Stick it in your sock”
That his line is just a crock

But he hangs around a while
Plus he has a ‘Certain Style’
You decide to take a chance, make a play for sweet romance,
In the parking lot you dance

It’s time to make another move
Cause you got something to prove
Country songs are just a fling, singing love songs is your thing
Broken hearts and wedding rings

Finally make it to the top
Crossing country into pop
Soon the money starts to flow, Cadillac and bungalow
Seems no end to it, you know

Coming home late one night
You and Charlie start to fight
And he works you over good, beats you like an old boy should…
Crackers treat their women good

Now, you bear the man a child
During labour, he’s running wild
Doncha know he’s not too far, getting lucky in a bar
No concerns of where you are
But you know you love him so
And you’ll never let him go
‘Cause you said that fateful day, during wedding vows you made
He’d be loved into his grave

Flying home on that small plane
Never to be seen again
Crash and burn on mountain side
Charlie wasn’t by your side,
Charlie wasn’t with his bride

Charlie Dick is all alone
Charlie don’t know where he’s goin
Dontcha know you broke his heart, dying tore his world apart
Charlie Dick is all alone.

Charlie Dick will break your heart
He will tear your soul apart;
Make you laugh and make you cry, Mama wished you’d kiss ‘Goodbye’
Charlie Dick will break your heart.

the balconvillains Montreal, Québec

Pan-genre…Omni-groove…
Not young…Not pretty…

Craft honed across two millennia, not the undead, the experienced.

The progeny of Montreal and the Age of Aquarius, chameleon transients in time and space, consumed and were consumed, frivolous, rhythmic, the voice of the common in the complexity of the mundane. ... more
