about

This song was in fact written just after a certain dinner party.

lyrics

The Difference
(1991)

A simple thought left unattended
dawned on me like quiet thunder
Topples down like unkept garbage
catastrophe is in the margin
But like a child without amusement
I dare myself to finally fuse it

I never thought
I never thought
I never thought I’d miss it
But now I know
Now I know
Now I know the difference
between you and I

Looking back on last nights dinner
your conservation was such a winner
staring out on empty faces
I dream of you in exotic places
So raise your glass to the token winner
And leave behind the rightful sinner

A simple word - I should have said it
On second thought - I might regret it
So drink a toast to indecision
It has to be without remission.

I never thought I’d miss it
But now I know the difference
between you and I
