about

A prime example of Pippen and Heart's co-writing prowess is the should-have-been-a-hit 'Life Story Of Claire Green'. Lyrically based on Bill's real life story of love and inevitable loss due to the unfortunate outcomes of transgender surgery. While Bob's use of the C Ionian scale is as fresh today as back then. Truly timeless.

lyrics

I assumed it’d never happen to me
Find a girl who’d make me complete
But then Claire Green walked into my life
The only girl who made me feel right yeah

Claire Green what happened in your life?
You said you would be my wife
Yet years went by and what came of things?
Claire Green I’ll help you find your wings

Years went by and what became
Of that relationship in which we were raised
It pained me to see you slip away
But your secrets had to come out one day

Claire Green it seemed like yesterday
When we were at peace at work and at play
Yet years went by and what came of things?
Claire Green will you ever find your wings?

Claire Green ten years have passed us by
Who is that person behind your eye?
The stranger I gaze upon a woman no more
Did becoming a man help you close open doors?
Clive Green I really despise your name
No longer do I wonder what’s going
On. In. Your. Brain.
Strange how people change as time moves on
Yet the Claire I remember will forever be a woman

You were the love of my life
You were my flesh and bones
Now we’ve all moved on
