Can anyone help with the missing bits? I've most probably mixed up the verses and maybe the lines even. BOOMERANG CAFE (John Williamson) At the Boomerang Cafe Where I first met you With lipstick on your lips And vinegar on your chips At the boomerang cafe Where I sat down beside you Do you remember darling Well you thought I was a fool As I rolled a cigarette You thought I was too old But I bet you don't forget The Boomerang Cafe Where I first met you Do you remember darling At the Boomerang cafe All that I could see Where those big brown eyes That would change the world for me And the Boomerang Cafe Changed the world for you Do you remember darling I recall it was raining And the heavens tore apart Or was it just the lightning And the thunder of my heart At the Boomerang Cafe Where I first met you Memories darling Was it long ago Or just the other day That you looked at me And I didn't know what to say Or was it just a daydream That'll never come again Memories darling Any help with this beautiful song would be most appreciated. CHeers Bugsy |

I'm sitting here reading and comparing to the words contained in the liner notes of John's album by the same name. Bye the way, John is coming to Cape Girardeau, Mo. and Springfield, Mo. on Jan. 31st and Feb 7th. On his web site on the left hand side of the page is the schedule. |

But that happens sometimes when you get verses mixed up and haven't sung a song for some time. I hope you get to see him when he comes round your way, he puts on a very good show. It's a bit far for me to travel. I live in Perth Western Australia. CHeers Bugsy |

I found out about his show after it was over. I was upset because he is great and would have loved to see him. I have 2 of his tapes and hope to get more. Oh yes!, Great song. Adrien |
