Gram Parsons' World

from Coping: Not Coping by The Pristines

/

lyrics

She sings of the sweetest things
Summer lawns & hickory winds
These things can only touch your life.
It’s just a different world
Sprung from the words of an imaginary girl
And one day I could change your mind.

(chorus)
In Gram Parsons’ world
There’s always a girl
There’s always a song to sing.
In Gram Parsons’ mind
The drugs will make it fine
There will be a place for him.

With the hopes that she chooses to be
To reflect their projections back at me
Do you really think I could be like him?
Cos you won’t find no Joshua Tree
and Country Music’s not an entity
Nothing chooses nothing, chooses him.

(chorus)
In Gram Parsons’ world
There’s always a girl
There’s always a song to sing.
In Gram Parsons’ mind
The drugs will pass the time
They don’t mean a thing to him
We don’t mean a thing to him.
