Julianne (Alternate Take - 1994)

Ben Folds Five
Album : The Best Imitation Of Myself : A Retrospective

I met this girl, she looked
like Axl Rose
Got drunk and took her home and
we slept in our clothes
In the morning put my feet on
the floor and thought
Being awake never
felt like this before
And Julianne y'know
she wouldn't approve
took all day on the phone
'cause I had nothing to do
Got rid of Axl by the afternoon
Being awake never
felt so clear and blue
That's all I knew
Guess that I was innocent too
I'll sing a song and
it won't be the blues
Cause I don't miss Julianne
A friend she told me
she felt sorry for me
She said the truth would come
crashing down on me
That I'd be sorry
but the truth of it is
That I feel guilty for
not giving a shit
That's all I knew
Guess that I was innocent too
I'll sing a song and
it won't be the blues
Cause I don't miss Julianne
I got my bag of trash
I got my bag of trash
I drag it up and down,
I drag it up and down the road
How could she miss a man
Who drags a bag of
trash down the road
This week I feel like
I been born again
I know that Julianne
she would have a fit
She'd find a reason for the
things that I did
And gave me credit for the
things that I've never been
That's all I knew
Guess that I was innocent too
I can try just as hard as I can
But I don't miss Julianne
I can try just as hard as I can
I don't miss Julianne
