lyrics

Jay Clem
We've got a friend, his name is Jay Clem
He works in a building downtown
We used to talk a bit a few years ago
We'd send him tapes, and talk to him on the phone
We'd bill the call to another number and the operator would scold him
We're sorry Jay, but we, well I, couldn't afford to call - otherwise
We'd call Jay once a year and talk about this and that
Once they told us they might use some of our tapes
But I guess it never happened
Yeah right…
Hey, but Jay's OK, Jay's OK, Jay's OK, yes Jay's OK
Talks a bit funny, but Jay's OK, yes Jay's OK
Looks a bit odd, but Jay's OK, hey Jay's OK
Jay's OK,
So now he's leaving and things are different
He says they're' not signing anyone new
So why now Jay, just when we're finally getting the goods
Together
Oh well, I understand
Maybe we'll meet again soon
And maybe things will be different
Wish you the best Jay, we hope your dreams come true
Sincerely
Hey, but Jay's OK, Jay's OK, Jay's OK, yes Jay's OK
Talks a bit funny, but Jay's OK, yes Jay's OK
Looks a bit odd, but Jay's OK, hey Jay's OK
Jay's OK,
OK Jay...

The Sitting
by Mikail Graham

"an interesting composer/musician/producer, Mr. Graham's soundscapes reach into another time and place filled with chance moments leaning towards an ambient sound, but with an edge." The Young Penguins
