You Couldn't Handle It Jamie

Clara:
You couldn’t handle it, Jamie
You couldn’t handle it, Jamie
These proofs are a mess, two accents reversed
An electoral district in France incorrectly identified
Inexcusable, Jamie
In fifty years of publication
We’ve only issued one retraction
What about our reputation?
Do you know how serious this is, Jamie?
You couldn’t handle it, Jamie
You couldn’t handle it, Jamie
I’ve given you the benefit of the doubt before
But not today
I would like to know what you have to say

Jamie:
Come on, come on
I know what it’s like
I’ve seen you before
Weeknights on Columbus Avenue
Clutching your drink
Piano Bar Blue
Waiting for someone, anyone at all
To say hello
How did it all start coming undone?
