Remember this one ? wether it's maruchan,take out,lunch ,brunch ,heck.if you're having lunch for breakfast.WHATEVER you eating chow down to this song:


i am sitting in the morning at the diner on the corner.
i am waiting at the counter for the man to pour the coffee
and he fills it only halfway,and before i even argue
he is looking out the window at somebody coming in.

(YA'LL KNOW THIS HOOK.SING IT!)


it is always nice to see you,says the man behind the counter
to the woman who has come in,she is shaking her umbrella
and i look the other way as they are kissing their hellos
and i'm pretending not to see them
and instead i pour the milk.


(Yep..that UNFORGETTABLE hook goes here)


i open up the paper there's a story of an actor
who had died while he was drinking...was no one i had heard of
and i'm turning to the horoscope and looking for the funnies
when i'm feeling someone watching me and so i raise my head.

(ok people...once again sing)

there's a woman on the outside looking inside does she see me?
no she does not really see me but she sees her own reflection
and i'm trying not to notice that she's inching up her skirt
and while she's straightened her stockings, her hair has gotten wet.

oh this rain it will continue through the morning as i'm listening
to the bells of the CATHEDRAAAALLLLL.....
i am thinking of your voice.

Tell the truth...this was the last song you heard playing on the radio on your drive to work and it's been stuck in your head all day right?





Just kidding, it's a nice lil' tune!

i use to love Tom's Diner before they butchered it.

Fucken dig it..

Great song (original version) from a great album. And the DNA version wasn't bad either! I know at least one person who went out and bought Suzanne's album due to that remix.

This song gets stuck in my head worse than (I'm gonna fuck yer day up if you read any further) Gypsy Woman (She's Homeless) by Crystal Waters.

hahahh, yes I even have Tom's bloody Album somewhere at home

I remember when I FIRST heard that when I was like 10 years old. I didnt understand it. But I kept on liking her blunt imagry and coffee style writing...

and i'm turning to the horoscope and looking for the funnies
when i'm feeling someone watching me and so i raise my head.

I like both the original and the remixed versions. The remix came out really well, and complemented the song nicely, brought it to a different audience.
