The Incident is a TV movie starring Walter Matthau, originally broadcast on the CBS network on March 4, 1990. The film marked Matthau's return to television after over 20 years.
The story takes place in the year 1944 in Lincoln Bluff, a fictional, small Colorado town. The Second World War is still raging and the town faces tragedy when the town's only doctor George Hansen (Barnard Hughes), is murdered at a local US Army POW camp, Camp Bremen.
Harmon J. Cobb (Walter Matthau), the story's protagonist, is a local lawyer given the unfortunate task of defending the German prisoner accused of the killing the doctor, a man who also happened to have been Cobb's good friend.
The film spawned two sequels with Matthau and Morgan playing the same roles: Against Her Will: An Incident in Baltimore (1992), and Incident in a Small Town (1994).
Intro:
(Uh Uh Uh Uh Uh )
Verse 1
Lovely Summerday, Humbled you come round this way
And i know what the people say and i dont mind
I know its straight insane like Superman and Louis Lane No
Parker and Cole Train on a twelve bar ride
Still You offer me this day and tearfully i hesitate
Knowing I cant repay with a thousand lives
But humbly i take your name, knowing everything is changed
Trying hard to explain no words I find
Still I wanna say I love ya...
Chorus
I wanna tell ya I'll tell ya but i cant explain it (Oh)
I cant explain it cause I dont even know why (I wanna say I need you)
I guess you notice I guess you know everything about..
Lonly for the Incident at the Well

Well its been a few years now

Remember that girl Michelle. You Know that girl from the well
As I picked up my pail I cant help by smile

They dont know how deep it is (hey)
They dont know what you did how you.. took my broken heart and put it back together again, I wanna say I love ya

Lonly for the Incident at the Well
At junction 8 the traffic starts to slow
Artilleries of braking lights and bluish glow
Ascending in a plumage of twisted steel
Shattered glass and confetti dashed upon the wheel
When a car crash gets you off you've lost your grip
When a fuck is not enough you know you've slipped
When the church is full it means you've just been had
When the world has gone to seed you're so detached
Got a feeling that I want you to be there
Driving by on my way to somewhere else
I fill my lungs with a noxious burning smell
There is weed and grey concrete like this for miles
Dead souls in my rear view mirror hitch a ride for a while
