Can I have your autograph?
he said to the fat blond actress
You know, I've seen every movie you've been in
from "Pass of Pain" to "Duels of Glory"
And when you kissed Robert Mitchum
Gee, but I thought you'd never catch him
You're over the hill right now, and you're looking for love
You're over the hill right now, and you're looking for love
I'll come running to you, honey, when you want me
I'll come running to you, honey, when you want me

Can I have your autograph?
he said to the fat blond actress
You know, I know everything you've done
Anyway, I hate divorces
To the left is a marble shower
It was fun even for an hour, but
You're over the hill right now, and you're looking for love
You're over the hill right now, and you're looking for love
I'll come running to you, honey, when you want me
I'll come running to you, honey, when you want me

Something's got a hold on me and I don't know what
Something's got a hold on me and I don't know what
It's the beginning of a new age...

    General Comment:I heard it was about Novak, but double checked and it was actually more likely a homage to Shelley Winters. More plausible seeing as she starred opposite Mitchum in "The Night of the Hunter"...

    General Comment:The live version is much more rewarding, conceptually speaking. The music is so organic and alive with energy. The ending is absolutely beautiful.

    General Comment:According to Wikipedia, this song is about the actress Kim Novak (who by no means was 'fat'!). Mitchum and Novak never starred in a movie together though, and the movie titles are also fictional. It's still a good song and a cool, if not sarcastic, homage to Kim.
