Fatboy Slim, David Byrne, Nellie McKay - How Are You? lyrics

How are you? I’m learning English
You’re looking good, it’s so hot today
We should keep in touch
Oh you’d better be going
It’s a long long way to your uncle’s place

I got a job, it’s just okay
But how’s your dad? It’s hard to say
I miss you all, it’s been so long
And who can say where love has gone?

And your life is just beginning
And my life is almost through
I’ve given up, never finished school
There was too much, too much work to do
How are you? Shall we get a soda?
You’re looking good, it’s so hot today
We should keep in touch
Oh you’d better be going
It’s a long long way to your uncle’s place

I was right there, right with your mother
And her last words ’fore she passed away
Did they tell you about the promise?
Should I ask you? Tell me what’d they say?

And there’s no way that you could help me
And you’re barely better off than I
You’re a beauty, sing like an angel
We’re together for both our lives

How are you? Well, I’m okay
You’re looking good, it’s hot today
I miss you all, it’s been so long
And who can tell where love has gone?

Now I’ve really liked this conversation
It was long ago, you were just a child
It’s getting late, I must be going
Life is hard sometimes but I’ll be alright

How are you? Oh, I’m okay
This is a nice place it’s so hot today
