"Former Baby Mine"
(Verse 1) My baby wants a rose, From every ex she knows
Who's thinking about her on Saint Valentine's Day
But I am such a mess, I misplaced her address
So former baby mine Don't expect no flowers from me
(backing) My former baby mine, my former baby mine
(Verse 2) What was that song you wrote? About a man whose heart you broke?
Who then went and wrote a song that was all about you?
But I am not so daft I can't get past a second draft
So former baby mine Don't expect no verses from me
(Solo)
(Bridge:) And there she goes again Alone with all her friends
While I am standing by Because I know that she is
My former baby mine, my former baby mine
(V3 key change) At parties on your arm, Candy to sweeten your charms
But now I'm just a bit too sour for that
(V4 key return) My baby wants to send Her ashes to every friend
In memory of herself, after she's gone, after she’s (some variant to "when she is dead")
But I know what I am, a sentimental man
So former baby mine, don't send those ashes (repeat ad infinitum [or end with "to me"])

The Torches Washington
The Torches were cobbled together by Stephen J. Perron Guidry in the late winter of 2009 and are a ramshackle and revolving
group that includes banjo, oboe, harmonica, cello, fiddle, several-part vocal harmony and cacophony, as well as some hollering and stomping.
The Torches played their first show without ever having all been in the same room at once.
