1. TRIBUTE TO SHOES AND SUZIE MARLANGO

"I used to know this girl named Suzie Marlango.
And her brother's name was Joe marlango.
Joe always wanted to kill me.
He sang in a band called The Rodbenders.
Suzie Marlango used to wear these angora sweaters,
I'm crazy about angora sweaters.
I guess it's kind of hang-up of mine.
She had angora socks, and angora shoes.
I believe she was originally from Angora.
I don't know where she is anymore, but every time I see an angora sweater, I think maybe inside will be Suzie Marlango. He-he-he...
Maybe she's in New Orleans. Well, I'll be there..."

Intro for 'I wish I was in New Orleans'

Dear Suzie Marlango,

No sé donde estarás. Tal vez en Angora. En cualquier caso yo ya no vivo en Nueva Orleans. Debes saber que cada vez que veo un sueter de angora pienso que, tal vez, seas tú la que estés dentro, aunque ni siquiera se si sigues viva o si has existido alguna vez. Espero que no te moleste que te escriba estas páginas sobre mi vida, mis vivencias, mis locuras y mis ideas... hasta que decidas volver. Disfrútalas.
