Re: Fave song lyrics
Well I'm sittin' here playin' solitaire
With a pearl handled deck
The county won't give me no more methodone
They cut off your welfare check
Carmelita, hold me tighter
I think I'm sinkin' down
And I'm all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of town
Well I pawned my Smith Corona
And I went to meet my man
He hangs out down on El Dorado
By the Pioneer Chicken Stand
Carmelita....
Edit to add this Zevon classic. Best part about it is the bubblegum pop sound the song has:
Well, he went down to dinner in his Sunday best
Excitable boy, they all said
And he rubbed the pot roast all over his chest
Excitable boy, they all said
He took in the four a.m. show at the Clark
Excitable boy, they all said
And he bit the usherette's leg in the dark
Excitable boy, they all said
Well, he's just an excitable boy
He took little Suzie to the Junior Prom
Excitable boy, they all said
And he raped her and killed her, then he took her home
Excitable boy, they all said
Well, he's just an excitable boy
After ten long years they let him out of the home
Excitable boy, they all said
And he dug up her grave and built a cage with her bones
Excitable boy, they all said
Well, he's just an excitable boy
