Love this song and the lyrics are Genius !!! Reminds me of Rosalita by Bruce Springsteen and Hard to say by Sister Hazel. All of which are great songs to me. I'd like to hear all three songs in a mashup. 😂 🫡👍
Oh, once upon a midnight eerie I woke with something in my head I couldn't escape the memory Of a phone call and of what you said Like a game show contestant with a parting gift I could not believe my eyes When I saw through the thoughts of a trusted friend Who needs to humor me and tell me lies, yeah humor me and tell me lies And I'll lie too and say I don't mind And as we seek so shall we find And when you're feeling open I'll still be here But not without a certain degree of fear Well, what will be with you and me I still can see things hopefully But you Why you wanna give me a run-around? Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up? When all it does is slow me down Shake me and my confidence About a great many things But I've been there I can see it cower Like a nervous magician waiting in the wings Of a bad play where the heroes are right And nobody thinks or expects too much And Hollywood's calling for the movie rights Singing "Hey babe, let's keep in touch", hey baby, let's keep in touch But I want more than a touch I want you to reach me And show me all the things no one else can see So what you feel becomes mine as well And soon if we're lucky we'd be unable to tell What's yours and mine, the fishing's fine And it doesn't have to rhyme, so don't you feed me a line But you Why you wanna give me a run-around? Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up? When all it does is slow me down Tra la la la la bombardier, this is the pilot speaking I've got some news for you It seems my ship still stands no matter what you drop And there ain't a whole lot that you can do Oh sure the banner may be torn and the wind's gotten colder Perhaps I've grown a little cynical But I know no matter what the waitress brings I shall drink it and always be full, yeah I will drink it and always be full Oh I like coffee and I like tea I'd like to be able to enter a final plea I still got this dream that you just can't shake I love you to the point you can no longer take Well all right okay, so be that way I hope and pray that there's something left to say But you Why you wanna give me a run-around? Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up When all it does is slow me down? Oh you Why you wanna give me a run-around? Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up When all it does is slow me down?
It's shocking and embarrassing how far off I was with the lyrics. Had the" game show contestant" part correct and "hey baby let's keep in touch" that's about it.
Can I just say, even in the 90’s I was like, “this dude can’t sing for shit, why is this song always playing?” And now it’s nostalgic even though I still hate it. I swear to shit, it’s the 1:48 part that always sticks out in my mind when I think about the shitty execution. Like… what the hell is up with that emphasis? What is he trying to pull?! WHY IS THIS SONG STILL PLAYING ON THE RADIO. I’m honestly losing my mind. Shit, why am I even leaving a comment on a song that drives me insane? What fucking force of nature drove me to actively GO looking this song up? Hnnnnnnnngggg…It’s almost like I endeavored to piss myself off when I really didn’t need to. I swear to shit man, it’s the 1:48, the ONE lyric that just drives me up the fucking wall. It just throws me off kilter, completely shitting on my immersion for the rest of the song. It’s so awful that I had to listen to it just to remember just how annoying and shitty it was. It’s still pretty nostalgic tho. I’m tired…
I'm pretty sure he's trying to sound like a Hollywood producer. The line is a quote and he's mimicking the speech pattern. It's supposed to sound fake and annoying. Or I'm wrong.
Great song! 2024 and still playing this on Friday nights!
The hook keeps bringing me back.
😜
This is my all time favorite song I love it
I love this song❤❤❤❤❤
I am a warrior
Thank you for transporting my adult brain back to my teenage brain coming of age in the great 90's 🥰
He says through the "thoughts" of a trusted friend...

Oh, once upon a midnight eerie
I woke with something in my head
I couldn't escape the memory
Of a phone call and of what you said
Like a game show contestant with a parting gift
I could not believe my eyes
When I saw through the thoughts of a trusted friend
Who needs to humor me and tell me lies, yeah humor me and tell me lies
And I'll lie too and say I don't mind
And as we seek so shall we find
And when you're feeling open I'll still be here
But not without a certain degree of fear
Well, what will be with you and me
I still can see things hopefully
But you
Why you wanna give me a run-around?
Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up?
When all it does is slow me down
Shake me and my confidence
About a great many things
But I've been there I can see it cower
Like a nervous magician waiting in the wings
Of a bad play where the heroes are right
And nobody thinks or expects too much
And Hollywood's calling for the movie rights
Singing "Hey babe, let's keep in touch", hey baby, let's keep in touch
But I want more than a touch I want you to reach me
And show me all the things no one else can see
So what you feel becomes mine as well
And soon if we're lucky we'd be unable to tell
What's yours and mine, the fishing's fine
And it doesn't have to rhyme, so don't you feed me a line
But you
Why you wanna give me a run-around?
Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up?
When all it does is slow me down
Tra la la la la bombardier, this is the pilot speaking
I've got some news for you
It seems my ship still stands no matter what you drop
And there ain't a whole lot that you can do
Oh sure the banner may be torn and the wind's gotten colder
Perhaps I've grown a little cynical
But I know no matter what the waitress brings
I shall drink it and always be full, yeah I will drink it and always be full
Oh I like coffee and I like tea
I'd like to be able to enter a final plea
I still got this dream that you just can't shake
I love you to the point you can no longer take
Well all right okay, so be that way
I hope and pray that there's something left to say
But you
Why you wanna give me a run-around?
Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up
When all it does is slow me down?
Oh you
Why you wanna give me a run-around?
Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up
When all it does is slow me down?
Is there a better harmonica player than John Popper. I think not! I would buy a whole CD of him just playing.
My sister tried to say this was an electric guitar back in the day lol
Yes
Enjoyable to listing to:D

Lars Ambrosia he does. Lol
💃👀 👉 👋🎶🎵🌞
the lyrics should be changing a second earlier
it's still more accurate than any other lyric video of this song I could find on RUclips.

I’m tired…
Climb a tree, my friend. It'll be okay.

@@ed-xs3pu you’re right👍
thumbs down the words are too slow to catch up to the music it's better to get the written lyric
I was thinking the same thing, however, this version is the best I ever heard!
These lyrics are wrong 😂
