Loudon Wainwright Iii - I Remember Sex lyrics

What are you thinking, Loudon? You've got a far-away look in your eyes… I remember s**, that thing we used to do Where you'd lay down, and, usually, I'd lie on top of you Sometimes, I'd lie on top of you, we tried that out a bit But it didn't work as well – I guess something just didn't fit! I remember s**, we had it at night A few times in the morning, or after we would fight And on special occasions when we'd had too much to drink Once in a Morris Minor – a convertible, I think! I remember s**, it was such a big deal That we'd worry where it would come from much more than our next meal And we were always hungry; often, we overate And it was up and down – and back and forth – and hurry up and wait I remember s**, and when we went to bed Sometimes we didn't sleep at all, we just had s** instead And having it was heavenly, not getting it pure hell And it was either great, or bad – few did it merely well I remember s**, and how it made us feel Completely realistic – yet totally surreal A thing that we all talked about and all that we thought of The distant crazy cousin to the scary thing called love I remember s**, I started on my own When you and I stopped having it, I tried it on the phone But that was so expensive, and s** is just a crutch And since we kicked the habit we don't think about it much But… I remember s**, it was something that we did And we always used to worry that we'd end up with a kid Then we'd have to get rid of it – or else we'd have to wed These days s** can k** you, kids, so stay awake in bed! Oh, Loudon, what memories…
