Like I do

Taken from "Forever Since Breakfast" 1986

"In my life I've seen people rushing painfully
Trying to be happy -- but they're never happy
Pushing to clear a path, hurting without knowing
Like I do, like I do, like I do, like I do

Everybody wanting something, with no regard for anybody at all

Years go by and mistakes are repeated over
Until they're corrected -- but they're never corrected
In my life I've seen people rushing painfully
Like I do, like I do, like I do, like I do

[Everybody wanting something, with no regard for anybody at all]"

Love the bar-music/Spanish guitar intro with signs of how Bob and GBV will come to record a lot of their later work. Lo-Fi with the background overtaking the music at times. A lovely melody.
