Small conversation in the afternoon with John Fante Lyrics

He said, "I was working in Hollywood when Faulkner was
Working in Hollywood and he was
The worst: he was too drunk to stand up at the
End of the afternoon and so I had to help him
Into a taxi
Day after day after day


"but when he left Hollywood, I stayed on, and while I
Didn't drink like that maybe I should have, I might have
Had the guts then to follow him and get the hell out of
There."

I told him, "you write as well as
Faulkner.:

"you mean that?" he asked from the hospital
Bed, smiling

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
