Maxine Had a Visitor (B-side on "Wet Playground single BC40-01) I am a burden to land and sea. What's to be done with me? Going my way I don't suppose? Then there's Tam, a foot taller than me. Couldn't call her Tammy cause she wouldn't let me. "Oh well, suit yourself, if you gotta"(? Oh, you know I gotta.) Maxine had a visitor. On her turntable: the Church and Lloyd Cole. Standing close, changing all of her clothes, making sure I notice. Yeah, I noticed ...but I did nothing. Maxine, it's gonna be a happy world (well, at least it dreams) but it's hard being me right now. A courtship sunk off the coast of nothingness, what a mess... what a mess. Maxine had a visitor. Her and her turntable are long gone. I couldn't believe I was kept from knowing until someone showed me, "Yeah, that's Tam." Still a foot taller than me. I couldn't call her "Tammy" to her face. She lost that look; I lost that right; when we fell apart one night. I did nothing. I should have done something. From Letras Mania
