lyrics
(josie's sister) Josie's away for the summer in a town I cannot pronounce And her sister came round Tuesday with a bag of her post And we sat on the step till the streetlights came on And neither of us mentioned that we did not go inside And I am not a bad man I have been good for eleven years And I have thought about Thursday about four hundred times Josie's sister, Josie's sister I am going to ruin the best thing I have got Josie's sister, Josie's sister And I have known that since about nine o'clock on Tuesday She has the same laugh. That is the unbearable part. The same laugh, coming out of the wrong face, on my step. Josie's sister, Josie's sister I am going to ruin the best thing I have got Josie's sister, Josie's sister And I have known that since about nine o'clock on Tuesday (Tuesday)
