Dear #SoundCloud - I apologize for confusing the algorithm... my bad

1979 - Shout-Out To Robert Roll (Friend & Script Collaborator)
 For The Fab Foto - Authentically, 1979

'THAT NIGHT' Sounds Like A 1970s Who 'Single'
I Also Hear A Bit Of 'Petty' In The Chorus
Since The Original Title Was "That Night" 
And Since I Wrote It - I'm Officially Changing It Back
The Term 'Killing Time' Has Come To Be So Mis-Read
This Version Of 'That Night' (Nee 'Killing Time') 
Was Recorded About 5 Years Ago
---
Clearly - Back In 1979  
This Was A Bit Too Frank...
And Never Really Saw The Light Of Day... 
I Did However Like It Enough To 'Play It Out' 
And Started Performing It By 1980 
When The Smoke, As It Were...Had Cleared
----
This Is Possibly As Good As I Get... Lyrically
Yet It's Just Another Humble-Brag Diary Entry...
Based On A True Story

THAT NIGHT (Nee: KILLIN" TIME)

It Wasn’t A Bad Night, That Night
Just Wasn’t All That Good
And When I Tried To Talk To You About It
I Didn’t Think I Could

We Were Staring At Stop-Lights, That Night
With Nothing To Say
And When I Turned To Look At You Baby
You Just Looked Away
Baby, You Just Looked Away

Cos Even The Waitress Could Tell
By The “Go Away” Look In Your Eyes
Even Your Husband Could Tell
We Were Both, Just Killing Time

We Came Back To My Place, That Night
Fell Down In My Bed
We Said All The Same Things, That Night
That We Always Had Said

And I Believed Them All, That Night
Bought Every Word
And How We Could Do It, That Night
Was Just So Totally Absurd
Yes, It Was Sooo Absurd

Cos Even The Waitress Could Tell
By The “Go Away” Look In Your Eyes
Even Your Husband Could Tell
We Were Both, Just Killing Time
