Just wrap your legs round these velvet rims
and strap your hands across my engines
Springsteen, Born to Run
Well now the years have gone and I’ve grown from that seed you’ve sown
But I didn’t think there’d be so many steps I’d have to learn on my own
Well I was young and I didn’t know what to do
When I saw your best steps stolen away from you
Now I’ll do what I can
I’ll walk like a man
And I’ll keep on walkin’
Springsteen, Walk Like A Man
Well, the night does funny things inside a man.
These old tomcat feelings you don't understand.
Well, I turn around and look at you,
You light a cigarette,
I wish I had the guts to bum one,
But we've never met.
And I hope that I don't fall in love with you.
Tom Waits, I Hope that i Don't Fall in Love With You.
I use to drink in a particular pub in Tralee. It had a piano in the corner and apparently the only person allowed to play it was the owner of the bar. the story goes that one night, a customer started playing the piano and was thrown out. Apparently, it was Tom Waits.
Probably just an urban legend but whenver i hear this song i can picture him sitting in that pub, thinking those thoughts.
I would do anything for love, but I won't do that.
Jim Steinman
And now I'm in this clothing store, and the signs say less is more
More that's tight means more to see, more for them, not more for me
That can't help me climb a tree in ten seconds flat
Dar Williams, When I was a Boy.
