lyrics

Bring Back Brando

I know you always did things your way
That’s why I loved you
But why did you have to go and die on my birthday
It’s not even been a year
Since Johnny Cash sang his last song

I know this might sound weird,
But I always thought I’d meet you
And I know I’m not fourteen
But it really hurt me hearing the newsreader announce
That Marlon Brando died today

Bring back Brando, bring back Brando,
It’s my 29th birthday and all I want is to bring back Brando

I knew the day would come
But I imagined I’d be with you
At the very least vaguely know you
At the very, very least I’d get pissed with you
I’d ask you “what you drinking?”
And You’d reply, “what’ve you got?”

Bring back Brando, bring back Brando,
It’s my 29th birthday and all I want is to bring back Brando

It’s getting on quite late and I’m sad and rather tired
Maybe five is one too many times to watch A Streetcar Named Desire
I haven’t even started to watch The Fugitive Kind

This is all I have left of my lifetime’s mild obsession
It’s not the few bad movies it’s your timing that I question
Who knows, a few more years
And I could’ve been there to say goodbye

Bring back Brando, bring back Brando,
It’s my 29th birthday and all I want is to bring back Brando
