Linda Let Me Be The One

{Intro}                     Her midnight boys are outside scraping tears up off the street. Standing guard beneath the window where only Linda sleeps. The leader is a kid named Eddy walkin like an angel in defeat. He trashes her old man’s car slashes Linda’s name in the seat and he calls out Linda let me be the one.  Linda let me be the one. Linda let me be the one.  Linda let me be the one. In an old room full of contenders Eddy spars ’Til he drops to his bed and surrenders draped in the scarves That he stole from Linda’s bedroom the night he laid at her feet. While the midnight boys were stranded down on Cason street. and he calls out Linda let me be the one.  Linda let me be the one. Linda let me be the one.  Linda let me be the one. In the basement of St Mary’s Eddy hides from the rain. In with the stolen sisters until the streets are dry again. Talkin fast cars and spare parts Empty homes and broken hearts. Distant worlds and strange girls and kneeling with Linda in the dark. Linda let me be the one.  Linda let me be the one. Linda let me be the one no no noooo oh ho whoa whoa whoa whoa
