lyrics

The Good From The Bad

She always told her best friends
Her nose was her best feature
Wrinkled it up so cute
When she was kissing up to a teacher

It seems so long ago
She doesn’t know where time went
Doesn’t want to think
How that nose got all bent

He promised her diamonds
Instead she got fists of rock
But she thinks that she deserved
Everything she got

Can’t tell the good from the bad
It’s the only love she’s ever had
Put up with the abuse
Always an excuse
Can’t tell the good from the bad

Another night in the ER
This time a broken arm
Questions get no answers
But she’s sure he didn’t mean any harm
Get away her friends all say
But it’s not something she will do
All the tears, shame and pain
She still thinks love will see them through

He promised her the world
Instead all she got was dirt
She still believes
That it’s all she is worth

Can’t tell the good from the bad
It’s the only love she’s ever had
Put up with the abuse
Always an excuse
Can’t tell the good from the bad

Opposites why do they attract? It’s a hard fact
Good is drawn to bad
Pleasure and pain, quite insane
Good and bad together again

Can’t tell the good from the bad
It’s the only love she’s ever had
Put up with the abuse
Always an excuse
Can’t tell the good from the bad

Mike Birch Methuen, Massachusetts

For Mike, it all started on a Sunday night in 1964 ... February 9 ... the Beatles took the stage on the Ed Sullivan show and while the girls in the audience screamed, his parents and grandparents exclaimed about the "long hairs", a 7-year-old boy thought, 'I'm going to learn to play the guitar one day!' ... more
