lyrics

He put up a sign
Which stated that
'Stone age thinking leads2 stone age decisions'

Zen monk chanting
Zen monk ranting

He sang his blues via Joy Division

Earthquake end of time basslines
That he didn't want to play anymore

World-weary lyrical delivery
Like he'd lived them out in lifetimes before

And for those didn't know his name
He'd paint it in big day-glo letters

L-A-R-R-Y

He constructed a shrine
Around a portrait
Of Joseph Stalin he carefully placed

Gadgets and toys from
When he was a boy

From out of a seemingly bottomless suitcase

Earthquake end of time basslines
That he didn't want to play anymore

World-weary lyrical delivery
Like he'd lived them out in lifetimes before

And for those didn't know his name
He'd paint it in big day-glo letters

L-A-R-R-Y

if my phone rang at 2 or 3
I knew it'd be Larry

If my phone rang at 3 or 4
It'd be him wanting to talk some more

Did he ever sleep?
Did Larry ever sleep?

It was always now
In the key of his dreams
He was from the hip with his love and hate

Artist brother
Husband father

And his crazy wisdom can't ever be replaced

Earthquake end of time basslines
That he didn't want to play anymore

World-weary lyrical delivery
Like he'd lived them out in lifetimes before

And for those didn't know his name
He'd paint it in big day-glo letters

L-A-R-R-Y

Count the petals of peace
For Larry, for Larry

A hammer and sickle wreath
For Larry, for Larry

Everlasting sleep
Sleep Larry sleep
