Behind Your Back Songtext
von Eric Brace & Peter Cooper

Lonesome Bob was the life of this party, he moved away
Ally′s up in New York now, Chris Richard's in L.A
The rest of us we were sitting there with nothing much to do
Except belly up and drink ′em down when all talk turned to you
Someone said they'd seen you earlier that day
Just nodded quick and headed on, did not know what to say
Someone said they'd heard you singing prayers disguised as song
Receiving the stares of the few who were there
Who took what was all right all wrong

Behind your back
Behind your back
We were all talking behind your back

I was at that attic gig with Oney, Frankie, and Vince Bell
Songs and amber liquor and Oney quoting Winston Churchill
And you were in your element among the broke and badly bent
A devil′s dream and heaven-sent, you said exactly what you meant

Behind your back
Behind your back
We were all talking behind your back


The ones you wrote are the ones we know
The laughter rings and the stories flow
About the things you taught and the things we learned
We talk about you when your back is turned

Bless the road, curse the miles
The ones that pass and the ones to go
The silence burns and there′s sad returns
None for the money, one for the show
And now the show's the thing and you′re on your way
Down some blue highway track
And we're toasting you five hundred miles away
Behind your back

Behind your back
Behind your back
We were all talking behind your back
Behind your back
Behind your back
We were all talking behind your back
Talking behind your back
Talking behind your back
