Mr Memory – the Lyrics

I can’t remember, if I’m up or if I’m down
I can’t remember, if I’ve turned around
I can’t remember, if I’m in or if I’m out
I can’t remember, what the fuss is all about
I can’t remember, if I’m far or if I’m near
or if I’m feeling healthy, or a little bit queer
I can’t remember, if it’s day or if it’s night
or if it’s really dark, or I’ve gone and lost my sight

That’s WHY they call me…. Mister…….. (mister) Mister….. (mister)
Mister Memory…..

I can’t remember what’s on the TV
I always look at the paper; then forget what I see
I carefully study the timetable, for the train or for the bus
and completely forget every detail, as soon as I look up
I can’t remember if the contract’s been signed
or if Sam the duty manager, has asked me to resign
I can’t remember if the money’s been paid
or if they’re standing around embarrassed, cause we haven’t even played

That’s WHY they call me…. Mister…….. (mister) Mister….. (mister)
Mister Memory…..

I can’t remember, any names or any faces
or even the times we met, or the god damn places
I can’t remember, what we last spoke about
or if we’re not even speaking, because an argument broke out
I can’t remember, who passed the spliff
was it going right or to the left, I don’t even remember if
it’s been around already, and I’ve already had a toke
or if I’m already stoned, from the ambient smoke

That’s WHY they call me…. Mister…….. (mister) Mister….. (mister)
Mister Memory…..

I can’t remember, the chord or the key
am I playing in A, or is it C or D or even E
Are we playing a minor seventh, flat or sharp
or an augmented eleventh, to complement the harp
is it 8 beats to the bar, or 8 bars to the beat
should I be standing or dancing, or should I simply take a seat.
I can’t remember, if I’m right or if I’m wrong
I can’t even bloody remember, the words to this song

That’s WHY they call me…. Mister…….. (mister) Mister….. (mister)
Mister Memory…..
