Standin' on a corner,
Suitcase in my hand.
Jack's in his car, says to Jane, who's in her vest,
Me, babe, I'm in a rock n' roll band.
The first song I managed to learn on the guitar all the way through, still gets me every time I hear it.Suitcase in my hand.
Jack's in his car, says to Jane, who's in her vest,
Me, babe, I'm in a rock n' roll band.
Ridin' a Stutz Bearcat, Jim
Those were different times

Those were different times
Did you ever see the faces of the children? They get so excited
Waking up on Christmas morning hours before the winter sun's ignited
They believe in dreams and all they mean including heaven's generosity
Peeping round the door to see what parcels are for free in curiosity

I saw The Velvet Underground but didn't start my own band. But then I can remember the Sixties and you know what they say - if you can remember the Sixties you weren't really there.

6 lines but bloody good.
Yeah, c'mon on all you big strong men
Uncle Sam needs your help again
He's got himself in a terrible jam
Way down yonder in Vietnam
So put down your books and pick up a gun
We're gonna have a whole lot of fun
Careful, I met some anti Woodstock feelings here the other day.Yeah, c'mon on all you big strong men
Uncle Sam needs your help again
He's got himself in a terrible jam
Way down yonder in Vietnam
So put down your books and pick up a gun
We're gonna have a whole lot of fun
Gimme an F !

Not from the first verse, but the line from Bob Seger’s 1980 hit, “Against the Wind” is very insightful I think,
“Wish I didn’t know now what I didn’t know then.”
He agonised over it, apparently and nearly cut it out of the song completely. Sublime, I reckon. Almost the antithesis of The Faces' Ooh La La...“Wish I didn’t know now what I didn’t know then.”

I think that Bob Seger was one of the greatest songwriter/singers of the late seventies and the eighties.
I remember driving an American ex with her latest squeeze, another English guy, to JFK in the eighties, we’d all spent the night at another American mutual female friend’s Queens apartment, purely platonic on my part, and the new beau was returning to U.K., I’d been asked to take him to the airport.
As I drove along the Van Wyck Expressway, Bob Seger was on the radio, singing, “We’ve got tonight.”
As the line, “We’ve got tonight babe, why don’t you stay”, came on, I looked in the mirror, and she was looking at me from the rear seat, mouthing the words, and winking.
I didn’t need much persuading.

I read that, apparently he was concerned about the grammar of the line, but Glenn Frey and Don Henley, (of The Eagles), said that it was the greatest line in the song, he MUST leave it in.

Jesus Christ, Frank 7 does it again! Was this the same one the Portugese soldiers wanted another look at?I think that Bob Seger was one of the greatest songwriter/singers of the late seventies and the eighties.

I'm waiting in my cold cell when the bell begins to chime
Reflecting on my past life and it doesn't have much time
'Cause at 5 o'clock they take me to the Gallows Pole
The sands of time for me are running lowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
EFA I'm waiting in my cold cell when the bell begins to chime
Reflecting on my past life and it doesn't have much time
'Cause at 5 o'clock they take me to the Gallows Pole
The sands of time for me are running lowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
one of my faves too. Don’t think we’ve had these yet...
You drink your coffee
And I sip my tea
And we’re, sitting here, playing so cool
Thinking, “What will be will be”
I was walkin' down the street
Concentratin' on truckin' right
I heard a dark voice beside of me
And I looked round in a state of fright
A lovestruck Romeo sang the streets of serenade
Laying everybody low with a love song that he made
Finds a streetlight, steps out of the shade
Says something like, "You and me, babe, how about it?"
I'm only happy when it rains
I'm only happy when it's complicated
And though I know you can't appreciate it
I'm only happy when it rains
Son, she said
Have I got a little story for you
What you thought was your daddy
Was nothin' but a

I’m retired from all that game now unfortunately, but in my 20s, 30s, and 40s, there were two things that I was good at, and the other one was driving.
Didn't I see you down in San Antone on a hot and dusty night,
We were eatin' eggs in Sammy's when the black man there drew his knife,
Aw, you drowned that Jew in Rampton as he washed his sleeveless shirt,
You know, that Spanish speaking gentleman, the one we all call Kurt...
(and bonus second verse)
I remember you in Helmlock Road in nineteen fifty six,
You're a faggy little leather boy with a smaller piece of stick,
You're a lashing, smashing hunk of man, your sweat shines sweat and strong,
Your organs working perfectly but there's a part that's not screwed on...
