Al's left hand's listening history
A song about the futility of trying to really express yourself...especially to someone you want to impress...

When I sat down here tonight and I decided I would write
a love song to explain to you why I feel the way…

Grew out of my frustration at having to sing, play all the instruments, and engineer my own recording...

The title just popped into my head unannounced one day and I had to try to work from that. About a girl with a broken radio and the repairman who would do anything to find her a new one and win her love...

my job is to want
what I've got…

To see if I'm in love with you
I'm trying so hard
to sit here and ignore
the way that you…
