I Remember Sex Lyrics - Older Than My Old Man Now - Loudon Wainwright Iii

I remember sex. That thing we used to do 

Where you'd lay down and usually I'd lie on top of you 

Sometimes you'd lie on top of me. We tried that out a bit 

But it didn't work as well, I guess something just didn't fit 

I remember sex. We had it at night 

A few times in the morning and then after we would fight 

And on special occasions when we'd had too much to drink 

Once in a Morris Minor (?), a convertible, I think 

I remember sex. It was such a big deal 

That we worried where it would come from much more than our next meal 

And we were always hungry, often we overate 

It was up and down and back and forth and hurry up and wait 

I remember sex. And when we went to bed 

Sometimes we didn't sleep at all - we just had sex instead 

And having it was heavenly, not getting it - pure hell 

And it was either great or bad, few did it merely well 

I remember sex. And how it made us feel 

Completely realistic yet totally surreal 

A thing that we all thought about and all that we thought of 

That distant crazy cousin to the scary thing called love 

I remember sex. I started on my own 

When you and I stopped having it, I tried it on the phone 

But that was so expensive and sex is just a crutch 

And since I kicked the habit I don't think about it much... but... 

I remember sex. Something that we did 

And we always used to worry we'd end up with a kid 

Then we'd have to get rid of it or else we'd have to wed 

These days sex can kill ya, kids, so stay awake in bed
