lyrics

Come and take the villa
That settles on the violent and cold Pehora river
Which is south of Noryan

I'd be glad to come and show you Some things that I've picked up
Since I last was here to show you I was way past gone

And I know the fiends have gotten to you.
I'm so mean they've gotten to you.
Do you know the way to kill to carry on

Tempt us to each other with the deepest future headache
or bless you, fairy mother, I would lose your design.
I've a fever for that dress of yours -- the one without the back --
For the file of flesh mistaken for the touch of what's mine

Come and take the villa
That settles on the violent and cold Pehora river
Which is south of Noryan
I'd be glad to sit there with you and try to pick you up
If I can, I’d like to show you that I’ve moved way on

credits

from Mark Lint & the Fake Johnson Trio, released May 19, 1999
Errol of course wrote that guitar intro. Mark plays bass, except on the bridge which is Doug Anthony, and Bryan Breaux played drums. Keyboards by Hal Thorsrud. Steve Petrinko did all the percussion in the bridge. Backing harmonies by Kevin Christopher Brown, probably Bryan Breaux, and I forget who else.
