The Replacements:Alex Chilton Lyrics

If he was from Venus, would he feed us with a spoon

If he was from Mars, then that'd be cool

Standing right on campus, would he stamp us in a file

Hanging down in Memphis all the while

Children by the million sing for Alex Chilton

When he comes around

Singing, "I'm in love, what's that song

Yeah, I'm in love with that song"

So we will rape and pillage in a village of his choice

Invisible man who can sing in a visible voice

Feeling like a hundred bucks, exchanging good lucks face to face

Checkin', checking his stash by the trash at St. Mark's place

Children by the million sing for Alex Chilton

When he comes around

They sing, "I'm in love, what's that song

Oh, I'm in love with that song"

I never travel far

Without a little Big Star

Ooh

Running round the house, Mickey Mouse and the tarot cards

Falling asleep with a flop-pop video on

And if he was from Venus, would he meet us on the moon

If he died in Memphis, then that'd be cool, babe

And children by the million wait for Alex Chilton

And come around

They sing, "I'm in love, what's that song

I'm in love with that song

I'm in love, what's that song

Yeah, I'm in love with that song

Oh

Come on
