Our Retribution

Background
      Andrea and I wrote this song as a joke for Alan and it was one of the first two songs I performed at an open mike night (along with Calvin's Song). The "plusawhich" reference was for the training we were going thru at the time for work. One of our trainers (Ray) always said "plusawhich" and did this little circular motion with his hand, so during the song when I say it, I stop playing the guitar and make the hand motion. When I did this at open mike, I got quite a laugh.

Dedication
     Dedicated to Andrea and Alan.

Lyrics
Verse 1: Alan likes to say he’s gonna call us everyday.
We call him but he never calls us back anyway.
He says whenever we’re not busy to give him a shout.
We’re not really sure what the hell he’s talking about.

Chorus: Alan breaks all the hearts
Of Rita’s friend
And Rosalie
And me… oh me
And Andrea too.

Verse 2: We try to stay mad at him, but we just can’t.
Maybe it’s ‘cause he’s so damn swell, plus-a-which the leather pants.
We always wonder what’s happening behind those Irish eyes.
All the girls are watching him and even a couple of guys.
Chorus

Verse 3: Alan likes to think that he’s Lord of the Dance.
Put him next to Michael Flatley and he doesn’t stand a chance.
We like to watch him anyhow with his sexy strut.
I’d like to be more than just friends but I know no matter what that
Chorus

Chorus 2: That psycho breaks all the hearts
Of Rita’s friend
And Rosalie
And me… oh me.
And Andrea too.
And Andrea too.
And Andrea too and Andrea and Andrea and me.
Oh me and Andrea and Andrea and me.
