When Last I Spoke to Carol Lyrics

Intro:
Verse 1:
When last I spoke to Carol I said,
I can't pretend it gets easier.
She said, "I've hung on, I have edged along this narrow ledge
Since the day I was born in 1975."
Interlude:
Laa lab la-da-da-da, oh
la-da-da-da - oh
Verse 2:
When last I spoke to Carol I said,
I can't pretend I feel love for you.
She said, "I've hammered a smile across this pasty face of mine
Since the day I was born in 1975."
Interlude:
Laa dah, da-da-da-da - oh
Solo:
Interlude (with whistling):
Verse 3:
When I said goodbye to Carol,
Black earth upon the casket fell.
She had faded to something I always knew.
To the rescue nobody ever comes.
Interlude:
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, o - oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, o - oh
