Aimee Mann was born in Richmond, Virginia, and attended the Berklee College of Music in Boston, but dropped out to sing with her first punk rock band, the young snakes; the band released the EP Bark Along with the Young Snakes in 1982, and a compilation album was issued in 2004. In 1983, seeking a return to "sweetness and melody", she co-founded with Berklee classmate and boyfriend Michael Hausman the new wave band 'Til Tuesday, which achieved minor success in 1985 with its first album, Voices Carry. The title song is said to be inspired by Hausman and Mann's breakup; the video became an MTV staple, winning the MTV Video Music Award for Best New Artist, though Mann's signature spiky hair would lead some to dismiss the group. Mann performed with the rock band Rush on the song "Time Stand Still" (from Hold Your Fire, 1987), singing backup vocals and appearing in the music video. With Mann playing an increasingly important role in songwriting, 'Til Tuesday released two more albums, Welcome Home and Everything's Different Now.

Mr Harris Lyrics
Aimee Mann
So hes retired
Lives with his sister in a furnished flat
Hes got this suit that
Hell never wear outside without a hat
His hair is white but he looks half his age
He looks like jimmy stewart in his younger days.
And honestly, I might be
Stupid to think love is love
But I do
And youve waited so long and
Ive waited long enough for you.
My mothers calling
From where shes living up in troy, vermont
She tries to tell me
A father figure must be what I want
Ive always thought age makes no difference
Am I the only one to whom thats making sense?
And honestly, I might be
Stupid to think love is love
But I do
And youve waited so long and
Ive waited long enough for you.
The day I met him he was raking leaves
In his tiny yard.
Of course I know that
Weve only got ten years, or twenty, left
But to be honest
Im happy with whatever time we get
Depending on which book you read
Sometimes it takes a lifetime to get what you need.
And honestly, I might be
Stupid to think love is love
But I do
And youve waited so long and
Ive waited long enough for you.
