" I was playing "September Gurls" when I heard the news. And when I got home that night, this is what I had.

Alex Chilton Forever

lyrics

I felt religious today
I know that something you wouldn’t say.
I felt a terrible pain
And no one around knew your name.

It’s so hard
To say Goodbye
without ever saying hello
It’s a pleasure
I’ve always wanted to have
But now I don’t know

I always wanted to shake your hand
I thought you’d understand
I thought you’d maybe live to see the day
When you were finally in demand, demand.

So now my head
is aiming towards the sky
And as I do, I hear you,
I can’t help but cry
To see A Big Star out there somewhere Tonight.

I’ll Be Seeing You Alex Chilton.
I’ll Be Seeing you Alex Chilton.
