This Moody Bastard Songtext
von Walter Becker

Little friend of mine
Can just still recall

The salad days
Between the ivory walls
Beneath the autumn sun

When all is said and done
We were a good combination
We were good clean fun
Still my thoughts roll back now and then
Think about you, remember it
Start smiling and I just can′t stop
You on the bottom and me on top
These days it's like a tomb
Amidst the stacks of gloom

Looking out of the window
In the downstairs room

And the time goes by


And the time goes by
Sometimes it goes so slowly
You know a man could cry
′Til the day goes down in deep disgrace
With empty pockets and a dirty face
And then the day boils over and there's nothing there
But a room full of smoke and a lot of hot air

This moody bastard
Remember
You were some guy friend
And then once in a great while
He needs one

This moody bastard, him
This moody bastard
He needs one
He needs some guy friend now and again
Once in a blue moon
Could use one

This moody bastard, him

Little friend of mine

You don't even know
When the wind starts blowing
How far a man could go
Little friend of mine


Are you even there?
Or did you disappear
Back into thin air?
If you′re still here with me
If you got this far
I hope you′re smiling
In fact I know you are
Know you are, know you are

This moody bastard
Remember
You were some guy friend
And then once in a great while
He needs one

This moody bastard, him
This moody bastard
He needs one
He needs some guy friend now and again
Once in a blue moon
Could use one

This moody bastard, him

This moody bastard
He needs one
He needs one
He needs one
He needs one
That's it
