TOrcH: Listen
Get out of Town
(TOrcH - from "Before the Night is Over")
January 3, 2005
Cole Porter
Cole Porter writes some wacky lyrics, but I just love this song. The first time I ever heard it was on a Caetano Veloso record. Just guitar and voice...beautiful.
Get out of town
before it's too late my love
get out of town
be good to me please
why wish me harm
why not retire to a farm
and be contented to charm
the birds off the trees
just disappear
i care for you much
too much
and when you're near
close to me dear
we touch too much
the thrill when we meet
is so bittersweet that darling
it's getting me down
so on your mark get set
get out of town
