I hate it when we explode
It always feels like the fatal blow
But can we negotiate a truce
Somehow, down the Cafe la Fontaine
With a Cup of Tea or an Iron Juice
and a Freddy’s Special Roll.

Leave me a Mental Picture
Leave me Blow by Blow
Kiss Me Quick
Then Kiss Me Slow
Before I Walk Away
Tears melting into my face
all mixed up with the Smolett Street Snow

It's an old old Story
Burton and Taylor
Athens versus Sparta
jungles and fitzcarraldo
Clash of the Titan Personality
If only they had Freddy’s
back then and made up to go
with a Special Glasgow Roll

You cant be over me
When your still under me
Will I be back in the Morning
Or will all be forgotten so
Till I meet you again someday
Down Freddy’s we will kiss
before the traditional Rock and Roll.


Don't be on the wrong side of our history
I'll be there waiting for you every day
Downtown to Cafe La Fontaine
Where old folks and modern lovers go
On the left past the bank near the french quarter
With a Freddies Kiss and a Glasgow Roll
