Chapter and verse: what makes the perfect lyric?
An interesting article in today's Guardian. There are lots and lots and LOTS of suggestions in the comments. One of the best (in my humble opinion) is... Seems like forever and time left to spareWhen I look out the window And still you're not there You're a long time gone Such a long time gone
Tearing down memories bitter and sweet Smashing away 'til it's all obsolete You're a long time gone, long time gone Such a long time gone, long time gone You're a long time gone
Do I wonder why Every day that I Think about you still And I always will
Did so much for me Now I think I see This I do believe Feels more like a dream
Looked at the weeds in the broken concrete Before the bulldozers waltzed in and killed the old street You're a long time gone, long time gone Such a long time gone, long time gone
Door steps that shone in a bright summer sky Lay shattered and wasted since our last goodbye You're a long time gone, long time gone Such a long time gone, long time gone You're a long time gone A clever and touching tribute to his home town by the Old Banger.
