Thanks for the lyric CAndice. I think there is a variant.
Must replay it in an hour. The lyrics I was really after
were the 'Love and THeft'. I remember being shocked when
I saw how poor the lyrics for 'Strret-Legal' were although
its not a bad album. And the spare track is November 1961,
'Minnesota Tape?' and is extraordinarily good.
My advice is keep the volume on 'L&T' down. You can still
make out the words.
