Last Time
the hi-strung ramblers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The last time I saw Paris
Her heart was warm and gay
I heard the laughter of her heart in every street cafe

The last time I saw Paris
Her trees were dressed for spring
cnd lovers walked beneath those trees
cnd birds found songs to sing
I dodged the same old taxicabs
That I had dodged for years
The chorus of the squeaky horns
Was music to my ears

The last time I saw Paris
Her heart was warm and gay




No matter how they changed her
I'll remember her ah that way

Line by Line Meaning

What's the matter with you, pops? You sure look beat about the gills, this bright.
What's wrong, father? You seem exhausted and worn-out today.


Oh, man, that soft cut out on me.
Oh no, she left me without warning.


What you sayin'?
What do you mean?


Yes, she copped a final on me.
She ended our relationship for good.


I know you was too proud.
I know you were too proud to show your emotions.


Solid M-O, man, but that's the last time for that jive.
I had a strong emotional attachment to her but that's the last time I'll put up with her actions.


I know you gonna tell her somethin'.
I know you have something to say to her.
