The Forgotten Arm is the story of John, a boxer, and Caroline, a photographer-musician, who stick together despite having lives filled with tragedy and disappointment.
In the eleventh, and most heartbreaking, track, John tries to will himself out of his drinking problem. He is resolutely confident...
[Chorus]
I was thinking I could clean up for Christmas
And then, baby, I'm through
Four more weeks that couldn't make any difference
Except maybe to you
[Verse 1]
But I've tried to use that trick
Like a carrot on a stick
So I was thinking I could clean up for Christmas
Then, baby, I'm through
[Chorus]
So I was thinking I could clean up for Christmas
And then, baby, I'm through
I was thinking I could clean up for Christmas
And then, baby, I'm done
One less fucker trying to get in the business
Of the prodigal son
[Verse 2]
Where I know I can't compete
Once I'm off of Hastings Street
So I was thinking I could clean up for Christmas
Then, baby, I'm done
[Bridge]
'Cause I can't live loaded and I can't live sober
And I've been this way since the end of October
And I know enough to know
That, baby, when it's over, it's over
And it's over
'Cause, baby, I'm done
[Chorus]
I was thinking I could clean up for Christmas
And then call it a day
Tell you I'm sorry that I made you a witness
To my moral decay
[Verse 3]
And that, once upon a time
I believed it was a victimless crime
[Chorus]
So I was thinking I could clean up for Christmas
Then call it a day
Then call it a day
Then call it a day
