Davespeak: Thank you man. So uh, thank you man. That's nice of y'all. So uh, I'm gonna ...[starts
strumming] ... So uh, I'm gonna leave the guitar out of tune, 'cause it's much better when it's a little
out of tune, when I'm as drunk and high as I am right now. Damn! And I say damn cause fuck isn't
nice.

Anyway, so uh, so I was, uh, I was in Europe recently. I was in -- we were all over there playing in
clubs a little bit smaller than this -- maybe like half the size of this place or something -- and it was
very nice, especially in Italy where everybody's very warm and Italian and they all like to drink
candy and they don't speak English as much as we do.

Anyway, so I was, uh, walking down the street there in uh, Florence I think, or something like that --
I think it was Florence. It was very beautiful, very historic and full to the brim with fat Americans. So it
must have been Florence -- I mean -- so I was a little lost or something. This could be a lie, but I
think it's gonna be a good story. And I, and I thought I'd ask this woman who seemed short and Italian
and small and sexy among other things. And so I said "Excuse me, do you speak the English, oh and
all that?" And she said, "Yes, I do,"

[singsong]

and she led me back to find my way and off I went and I went on my way and as I was leaving I
thought, "What was her name? What was? Oh well, I don't know." And I headed off and, and then I
thought, "For fuck sakes. I'm never gonna see her again and she was about the most beautiful little
Italian woman I've ever seen in my fuckin life."

[singing]

and she was so fine
the girl in the street
I met that time
and I wonder will I ever see her again
does she think of me?
will I ever see her again
does she think of me?
does she -- hey --
[voice cracked]
[talking]
that was nice -- you like that one? I guess

[singing]

[talking]
I'll find my way ya'll
don't just you know don't,
don't lose hope in me now
eventually I'll find something to do
I just don't feel normal without this uh
little Italian girl that I met about a week ago

[singing]

and roll (?) so
here I am
on my way to you
