Tom Courtenay (acoustic) Lyrics - Yo La Tengo

Julie Christie, the rumors are true 

As the pages turn, my eyes are glued 

To the movie star and his sordid life 

Mr. X and his old-suffering wife 

I spent so much time dreaming about Eleanor Bron 

In my room with the curtains drawn 

See her in the arms of Paul 

Say it, I can say no more 

As the music swells somehow stronger from adversity 

Our hero finds his inner peace 

So now I'm looking for a lucky charm 

With a needle hanging out of its arm

As time goes by I know it's gonna happen 

I know it's going away 

Gonna take its toll, gonna take its toll 

Gonna take my time 

And I'm thinking about the way things are 

And I'm thinking about the way things were 

Thinking about Eleanor Bron 

And I'm thinking about a lucky charm 

And I'm thinking about the needle 

Oh, I'm thinking about the needle 

And I'm thinking about...
