Lyrics

Annie studied for her classes
Then pushed her books down to the floor
She stood up and grabbed her umbrella
Walked right out the door
I saw her by the playground
She was laughing to herself
I gave her petrol station flowers that I'd picked up for someone else
"Hey Annie, why you laughing? And why you stood here by yourself?"
She said, "you'd do something more to me than any book from any shelf"
We were wrong in all the right places
In that all wrong, right-on way
September, Thursday the 13th
Heaven knows it was a hell of a day
Like two kids laughing in that taxi from the stand
We made each other smile and we took each other's hand
The driver dropped us by the dance-hall
With a smile, with a wink
Humming Cohens 'Hallelujah'
Said "keep my fare and have a drink"
With a cool beer on the table she kicks the high heels from her feet
And whispers "life it often gets me down"
"But tonight we got it beat"
We were wrong in all the right places
In that all wrong, right-on way
September, Thursday the 13th
Heaven knows it was a hell of a day
We wound up on a rooftop with cigarettes and gin
I said "if there's nothing left to fight for
Then there's nothing left to win"
But "ah" she said "you know"
"You can't have pleasure without pain"
"And you can't come home with me under my lucky umbrella"
"'Less you got a little rain"
We were wrong in all the right places
In that all wrong, right-on way
September, Thursday the 13th
Heaven knows it was a hell of a day
We were wrong in all the right places
In that all wrong, right-on way
September, Thursday the 13th
Heaven knows it was a hell of a day
