songs remembered from just one line

I really enjoy the Boss. I've never seen him in concert and I don't seem to know that much of his stuff. I've heard this song plenty, but not enough to know the first lines of the song. It was good to listen to with my first cup of coffee this morning. Now I'll have to find some more, like Thunder Road, Rosalita, (love that line - "you ain't a beauty, but eh, you're alri-i-ight, oh, and that's alright with me"...)

Free post, you say? Well, okay.....

This is the day of the expanding man

That shape is my shade there where I used to stand

Let's skip to the chorus, shall we?

I'll learn to work the saxophone

I'll play just what I feel

I always thought it was called, "Learn to Play the Saxophone", by Steely Dan. Is it maybe called "Scotch Whiskey"?

Deacon Blues

They got a name for the winners in the world

I want a name when I lose

They call Alabama the Crimson Tide

Call me Deacon Blues

Close enough, erkjohn. You go.

"I can remember what she said when she said..."

I should have mentioned that this is the "bridge" in the song. I'll continue with it since it will get more familiar:

"I can remember what she said when she said,

'Good-bye...baaay-be.

We'll meet again soon maaay-be.'

Okay, let's do this: Here is the first verse:

"When I see her comin' down the street

I get so shaky and I feel so weak.

I tell my eyes to look the other way

But they don't seem to hear a word I say."

That should be better
