Not lonesome
2 GoodGymers made their way to help an isolated older person in Lewisham.
- Friday, 26th of March 2021
We got on fine - turns out I knew one of Maureen's next door neighbours, who wanted to know why I was there, so Emily & I knew a bit about her even before we met . Along with everything else she told us, she didn't really need to say she was a Elvis fan - had been since she was 14 - but can I find an Elvis pun involving curtains? Well, there is a reference to 'bringing the curtain down' in the spoken bridge in "Are you lonesone tonight?"
"Honey, you lied when you said you loved me
And I had no cause to doubt you
But I'd rather go on hearing your lies
Than go on living without you
Now the stage is bare and I'm standing there
With emptiness all around
And if you won't come back to me
Then make them bring the curtain down"
Should I admit to knowing this? I think Emily had only just about heard of Elvis
