I once knew a girl from Nantucket,

or, wait-- maybe it was


Barnstable. I can't rightly recall.

But I lived in Yarmouth and worked


for my dad's business. We inspected homes

and I was poor


at the job because I was often drunk. Aces I was

at being my father's son, so I kept employed.


He kept trying to--my father--he kept

trying to give me money to open my own


outfit fixing garage door openers. And me,

I wanted to focus on the band. And that is what

Kelly liked about me, I'm sure. She's the one from


Barnstable. Or Nantucket. No, I can't remember.

But she liked my band.
