mofimadness, you got em’!

These lyrics just have a lot of meaning for me. Any day I can listen to good music is a good day. Something about Sundays I get in a more reflective mood. I can only assume since you seem to have immediately recognized these lyrics, they made an impression on you as well. This was kind of my reason for the thread.

"these days I sit on cornerstones..."--that's Jackson Browne, "These Days."  I first heard Tom Rush sing that.

"Once a fool had a good part in the play
If it's so would I still be here today
It's quite peculiar in a funny sort of way
They think it's very funny everything I say
Get a load of him, he's so insane
You better get your coat dear
It looks like rain..."

I know where it's from...*S* ;)

Tostadosunidos-I too heard Tom Rush sing that song (along with quite a few of Jackson Browne's songs) back in the 60s.  I kind of like his cover better than the original, though he did alter the words a little, if I recall.

"Don't wanna be a bum, you better chew gum

the pump don't work 'cause the vandals took the handles."
