It's not far, I can walk
Down the block to Table Talk
I close my eyes
And make the pies all day
Plastic cap on my hair
I used to mind, now I don't care
I used to mind, now I don't care
'Cause I'm grey
Did I show you this picture of my nephew
Taken at his big birthday surprise
At my sister's house last Sunday
This is Monday and I'm making pies
I'm making pies, making pies
Thursday nights I go and type
Down to the church for Father Mike
It gets me out
And he ain't hard to like at all
Jesus stares at me in my chair
With his big blue eyes and his honey brown hair
He's looking at me
From way up there on the wall
Did I show you this picture of my sweetheart
Taken of us before the war?
Of the Greek and his Italian girl
One Sunday at the shore
We tied our ribbons to the fire escape
They were taken by the birds
Who flew home to the country
As the bombs rained on the world
Five a.m., here I am
Walking the block to Table Talk
You could cry or die
Or just make pies all day
I'm making pies, making pies
I'm making pies, making pies

| claireb | Posted: Dec 13, 2008 - 17:06 My favorite of Patty's. . . which is a difficult choice to make! She is a goddess. |
| Laptopdog (Overcrowded, Overpriced & Overrated L.A.) | Posted: May 06, 2008 - 19:10 This song goes well with 'Chopping Broccoli' by Dana Carvey. |
| wilcogirl11 | Posted: May 06, 2008 - 19:07 I love Patti. That is all. |

Actually, she is talking about pie pies, not pizza pies. http://www.tabletalkpie.com/home.htm I thought I read she had heard a news story about Table Talk Pies after they had some milestone anniversary (75th?) and that is what inspired her. Melancholy at its finest. |
| Kornmann (New York, NY) | Posted: Aug 29, 2007 - 06:45 She can do no wrong! |

Nicely put.First time I heard it I kind of said 'so what, she makes pies, big deal.' But the melancholy of it is crushing. In a good way. I get an image of all the people who're just going through the motions, their lives set into a robotic routine. And the lives they might have had: the picture of her sweetheart, the child's birthday. Overwhelming. c. |
| johnironwood (Roseville, MN) | Posted: Apr 25, 2007 - 12:52 When I see her name pop up, I'm always curious to hear what, and how, she'll sing. I'm unfamiliar with her music. "Little God" is an amazing song; it stops me everytime I hear it. This one about the pies is rich and complex. I found myself pausing to hear it and move into it. I look forward to happening upon it again. Glad to be introduced to this artist. Thanks. |

She makes a damn good pie, too. |

I get gooseberries--in a pie, preferably. |
