Lyrics for Antonio Carlos Jobim (Heatmiser cover) as interpreted by nomshybrides

Antonio Carlos Jobim (Heatmiser cover) Lyrics
Why are you here
Couldn't you tell him
Were you afraid he'd hear
You should have been thankful to be alone
You took off your shoes
Said anything further would be bad news
Because you'd already started to disappear
And he couldn't complain
Just looked at your lyric and crossed over to play
A record of quiet instrumentals
And I like what you wrote
This is a record full of sour notes
You should've been thankful to be alone

And I like what you wrote
But don't say you mean it when you know you don't
You should have been thankful to be alone, you know
You should have been thankful to be alone, you know
You should have been thankful to be alone

as far as I know, there's only one recorded performance of elliott playing this song solo. for a song about being alone, it makes all the more difference to hear him play it all alone. It's scary. And deafening, quiet. I sigh a lot listening to this song. You go through a lot of problems in any relationship; romantic, business or otherwise. I see two people, very familiar with eachother, working with eachother as a necesity. Everything's cold and nobody touches. And it's better this way, because, well, you just can't complain. It's music, but it's work. It's soul but, here we are, again, the two of us, each afraid of saying a word. just wanting to go home. sure, lonely turns me blue.. but it's a hell of a lot better than dealing with all the bullshit freaks in point B

All instances of "And I like what you wrote" are actually "Said I like what you wrote" in the original version but I've never heard Elliott play this solo so he may have changed that one word.
