I'm in love, with a tough inner-city girl...

Peter Rukavina

I have had the lyrics to that Curtis Driedger song, from the cassette-album Problem A, running through my head for years. I lost my cassette years ago. I need another copy. It’s one of the best songs, ever.

The lyrics are in the book Problem A arent they?

I’m in love with a tough inner city girl
When she walks along she spits and swears.

Everytime someone says “I have to go to the bathroom” I think of the lyrics

I have to go to the baaaathroom
Get out the master plan
Does it explain the man?

Call the used record shops in ptbo - there must be copies kicking around. hey, maybe the public library?

hope you find your holy grail, man

The receptionist at Yankee Publishing is named Linda. When she answers the phone, I usually recognize her voice, and I say “Hello, is this Linda?” Which, of course, makes me remember the song that starts “Hello, is this Linda? This is your ex-boyfriend calling from Regina. I hear you’re in a family way.”

Whenever I hear someone say “I have to go to the bathroom”, I think of that great Creedence Clearwater Revival tune “There’s a Bathroom on the Right.”

Oh!
Thanks for the clarification.
I also recently found out that the song by Bruce Cockburn isn’t “If I Had a Moroccan Lawnchair.”
