Nowadays Clancy Cant Even Sing — текст песни (Neil Young)

Whos that stomping all over my face?

Wheres that silhouette Im trying to trace?

Whos putting sponge in the bells I once rung

And taking my gypsy before shes begun

To singing the meaning of whats in my mind

Before I can take home whats rightfully mine.

Joinin and listenin and talkin in rhymes

Stoppin the feeling to wait for the times.



Whos saying baby, that dont mean a thing,

cause nowadays clancy cant even sing.



And whos all hung-up on that happiness thing?

Whos trying to tune all the bells that he rings?

And whos in the corner and down on the floor

With pencil and paper just counting the score?

And whos trying to act like hes just in between?

The line isnt black, if you know that its green.

Dont bother looking, youre too blind to see

Whos coming on like he wanted to be.



Whos saying baby, that dont mean a thing,

cause nowadays clancy cant even sing.



And whos coming home on the old nine-to-five?

Whos got the feeling that he came alive,

Though havin it, sharin it aint quite the same

It aint no gold nugget, you cant lay a claim

Whos seeing eyes through the crack in the floor

There it is baby, dont you worry no more

Who should be sleepin, but is writing this song

Wishin and a-hopin he werent so damned wrong.



Whos saying baby, that dont mean a thing,

cause nowadays clancy cant even sing.
