Old bastards' lyrics quiz - not for you kids...

[Man of Harveys]

Here is an offering from me:

Your everlasting summer, you can see it fadin' fast
So you grab a piece of somethin' that you think is gonna last
Well, you wouldn't even know a diamond if you held it in your hand
The things you think are precious I can't understand


1972

Reelin' In The Years, by the ever-mighty Steely Dan

Its a good song I will admit

I always thought it was a poor man's 'walk on the wild side'.

[The Large One]

I always thought it was a poor man's 'walk on the wild side'.

Contraversial.

 

[Parson Henry]

Am I allowed one futher dabble?

Hmmm, Words could not express how much you mean to me
There must be some other way to make you see
If it takes my heart and soul you know I'd pay the price
Everything that I possess I'd gladly sacrifice


1975 (ish)

 

[Kylies Stunt Arse]

Reelin' In The Years, by the ever-mighty Steely Dan

[Parson Henry]

Contraversial.

But thought provoking

You to me are Everything - The Real Thing

They are but sadly not this side of the pond.

"Ever-mighty"?

Philistine !

 

[Hiney]

Just put your trust in me
I'll try not to let you down
The job is hard to do
But only we can wear the crown

Too easy?

 

[Kylies Stunt Arse]

I love the Dan Dan

What do you think of Fagan's solo opus The Nightfly?

 

[Parson Henry]

For Hiney only


When she finished her laundry she was all in a quandary
And made it for the street like a hare
Her escape was so urgent, she forgot her detergent
And dropped all her clean underwear

??

 

[Man of Harveys]

What do you think of Fagan's solo opus The Nightfly?

Love it. But...have listened to it too much over the years so I feel the same way about it as I do about sardines: nice but I've seriously overindulged in the past. Although, like McCartney without Lennon, Fagen can be a bit syrupy without Becker.
