Jacob And 2 Women (the World As Best As I Remember lyrics

"Jacob he loved Rachel and Rachel she loved him 
And Leah was just there
for dramatic effect 
Well it's right there in the Bible so it must not be a
sin 
But it sure does seem like an awful dirty trick 
And her sky is just
a petal pressed in a book of a memory 
Of the time he thought he loved her
and they kissed 
And her friends say "Ah he's a devil" 
But she
says "No he is a dream" 
This is the world as best as I can
remember it 

Now Jacob got two women and a whole house full of kids

And he schemed his way back to the promised land 
And he finds it's one
thing to win 'em 
And it's another to keep 'em content 
When he knows
that he is only just one man 
And his sky's an empty bottle and when he's
drunk the ocean dry 
Well he sails off three sheets to some reckless wind

And his friends say "Ain't it awful" 
And he says "No I
think it's fine" 
And this is the world as best as I can remember it


Now Rachel's weeping for the children 
That she thought she could
not bear 
And she bears a sorrow that she cannot hide 
And she wishes she
was with them 
But she just looks and they're not there 
Seems that love
comes for just a moment 
And then it passes on by 

And her sky is
just a bandit 
Swinging at the end of a hangman's noose 
'Cause he stole
the moon and must be made to pay for it 
And her friends say "My that's
tragic" 
She says "Especially for the moon" 
And this is
the world as best as I can remember it 
And this is the world as best as I
can remember it"
