| Nowadays Clancy
Can't Even Sing Hey, who's that stompin' all over my face? Where's that silhouette I'm tryin, to trace? Who's puttin, sponge in the bells I once rung? And takin, my gypsy before she's begun Just singin, and dreamin, of what's in my mind Before I can take home what's rightfully mine Joinin' and a listenin' and talkin' in rhymes Stoppin' the feelin, to wait for the times Who's sayin,, baby, that don't mean a thing? 'Cause nowadays Clancy can't even sing And who's all hung up on that happiness thing? Who's tryin, to tune all the bells that he rings? And who's in the corner and down on the floor? With pencil and paper just countin, the score Who's tryin, to act like he's just in between? The night isn't black, if you know that it's green Don't bother lookin,, you're too blind to see Who's comin, on like he wanted to be? Who's sayin,, baby, that don't mean a thing? 'Cause nowadays Clancy can't even sing And who,s coming home on the old nine&-to-five? Who's got the feelin, here to keep him alive? Though havin' it, sharin' it ain't quite the same You painted it golden nugget, you can't lay a claim Who's seein, eyes through the crack in the floor? There it is, baby, don't you worry no more Who should be sleepin' but is writin, this song? Wishin' and a hopin' he weren't so damned wrong Who's saying, baby, that don't mean a thing? 'Cause nowadays Clancy can't even sing Who's saying, baby, that don't mean a thing? 'Cause nowadays Clancy can't even sing |
