Story Behind The Song

Just remembering those jealous moments humorously, and the things that sparked them off.

Song Description

The woman finds an old photo and jealousy ensues, much to his chagrin.

Lyrics

Last night I was lookin' back at my favorite old photograph
My wife walked into the room where I sat
To my distress she asked me, "What's that?"
I said "Oh, nuthin'" and I said it quick, prayin' to God it would stick
That's when she ripped right out of my hand
That shot of me and Sue when I was a young man

But I left those things a long long time ago
Yeah I left those things a long long time ago

Speaking of photos, picture this, a crack appeared in our bliss
When she saw the shot of me snugglin' Sue
She became like that cop on NYPD Blue
"Who is this girl?!" she screamed in my eye
"Were the 2 of you high??"
At which point I don't recall what I said
Except I said it before my rights had been read

Cause I left those things a long long time ago
Yeah I left those things a long long time ago

I can remember as clear as it could be
Just like in that photograph
Oh what a lover, no demands on me
Accepting me unconditionally
Helping me to get into
A whole lot of crap
And boy I miss that

It's been tense now 7 days, 7 more under house arrest
She still feeds me but has nothing to say to me
This will pass one day I guess
Dont think it's right all the blame's on me
What about the technology?
After all if it weren't for the camera having ever been made
We've still be happy love birds in our little cage

But I left those things a long long time ago
Yeah I left those things a long long time ago
Yeah I left those things a long long time ago
I left those things a long long time ago
Where they went - I don't know
No, no, I don't know cause I left those things a long long time ago
