I Can't Forget Lyrics
i stumbled out of bed
i got ready for the struggle
i smoked a cigarette
and i tightened up my gut
i said this can't be me
must be my double
and i can't forget
and i can't forget
i can't forget but i don't remember what
i'm burning up the road
i'm heading down to phoenix
i got this old address
if someone that i knew
it was high and fine and free
oh you should've seen us
and i can't forget
and i can't forget
i can't forget but i don't remember who
i'll be there today with a big bouquet of cactus
i've got this rig that runs, runs on memory
and i promise, cross my heart they'll never catch us
but if they do just tell 'em it was me
i've loved you all my life
and that's how i want to end it
the summer's almost gone
and winter's tuning up
the summer's gone but a lot goes on forever
and i can't forget
i can't forget
i can't forget, but i don't remember what
i got ready for the struggle
i smoked a cigarette
and i tightened up my gut
i said this can't be me
must be my double
and i can't forget
and i can't forget
i can't forget but i don't remember what
i'm burning up the road
i'm heading down to phoenix
i got this old address
if someone that i knew
it was high and fine and free
oh you should've seen us
and i can't forget
and i can't forget
i can't forget but i don't remember who
i'll be there today with a big bouquet of cactus
i've got this rig that runs, runs on memory
and i promise, cross my heart they'll never catch us
but if they do just tell 'em it was me
i've loved you all my life
and that's how i want to end it
the summer's almost gone
and winter's tuning up
the summer's gone but a lot goes on forever
and i can't forget
i can't forget
i can't forget, but i don't remember what

great leonard cohen cover. the pixies had a tendancy to cover really great songs.
yeah my mom actualy showed me this song, and i really liked it, so i listened to the leneard cohen version and i like this much much more. and, also, even though its a cover, and somehow they manage to do this with all of their covers, its still amazingly orginal.
frickin awesome song, possibly means something about a guy about to go venturing out on something daring and he's anxious about it? anyone have an other thoughts about what this song is about
Word, oidimed! One of the best covers ever!!!
