BbAltered Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Here's a fun game: recite your favorite Bob Dylan lyric. I think I got this idea from a series I was streaming. I'm going with: You never turned around to see the frowns On the jugglers and the clowns when they all did tricks for you You never understood that it ain't no good You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you You used to ride on a chrome horse with your diplomat Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat Ain't it hard when you discovered that He really wasn't where it's at After he took from you everything he could steal Quote J.S.

Docbop Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 You've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely But you know you only used to get juiced in it And nobody's ever taught you how to live out on the street And now you're gonna have to get used to it Since I modified it and turned it in as my homework in senior English I might as well use it again. I got away with murder in Senior English in school, I was terrible in English and had to do something to pass it. We got lucky and our teacher had to suddenly leave for the semester and we got a fresh out of college guy to teach. I was so into Dylan I just wrote all my stuff in a Dylan style including no periods or other grammar and etc that Dylan picked up from poet CC ??? The student teacher told me he was so impressed with my writing he took it to his old professor to show him he had a young genius as a student. I kinda felt bad for what I was pulling on that young teacher, but figured if I pass senior English that was priority one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marzzz Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 I once recited this to someone, who completely embodied the mean of the entire song, let alone this lyric: I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes And just for that one moment I could be you Yes, I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes You'd know what a drag it is to see you Other than that, the only song by Dylan I really enjoy listening to is "Tangled Up In Blue" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KuruPrionz Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 I have more than one favorite Dylan lyric. Grandpa died last week and now he's buried in the rocks Everybody still talks about how badly they were shocked But me, I expected it to happen, I knew he'd lost control When he built a fire on Main Street and shot it full of holes Quote It took a chunk of my life to get here and I am still not sure where "here" is.

nursers Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Tweeter and the Monkey Man were hard up for cash They stayed up all night selling cocaine and hash To an undercover cop who had a sister named Jan For reasons unexplained she loved the Monkey Man Tweeter was a boy scout before she went to Vietnam And found out the hard way nobody gives a damn They knew that they found freedom just across the Jersey Line So they hopped into a stolen car, took Highway 99 And the walls came down, all the way to hell Never saw them when they're standing, never saw them when they fell The undercover cop never liked the Monkey Man Even back in childhood he wanted to see him in the can Jan got married at fourteen to a racketeer named Bill She made secret calls to the Monkey Man from a mansion on the hill It was out on Thunder Road, Tweeter at the wheel They crashed into paradise, they could hear them tires squeal The undercover cop pulled up and said "Everyone of you's a liar If you don't surrender now, it's gonna go down to the wire" And the walls came down, all the way to hell Never saw them when they're standing, never saw them when they fell An ambulance rolled up, a state trooper close behind Tweeter took his gun away and messed up his mind The undercover cop was left tied up to a tree Near the souvenir stand by the old abandoned factory Next day the undercover cop was hot in pursuit He was taking the whole thing personal, he didn't care about the loot Jan had told him many times it was you to me who taught In Jersey anything's legal as long as you don't get caught And the walls came down, all the way to hell Never saw them when they're standing, never saw them when they fell Someplace by Rahway Prison they ran out of gas The undercover cop had cornered them said "Boy, you didn't think that this could last" Jan jumped out of the bed, said "There's someplace I gotta go" She took a gun out of the drawer and said "It's best if you don't know" The undercover cop was found face down in a field The monkey man was on the river bridge using Tweeter as a shield Jan said to the Monkey Man, "I'm not fooled by Tweeter's curl I knew him long before he ever became a Jersey girl" And the walls came down, all the way to hell Never saw them when they're standing, never saw them when they fell Now the town of Jersey City is quieting down again I'm sitting in a gambling club called the Lion's Den The TV set been blown up, every bit of it is gone Ever since the nightly news show that the Monkey Man was on I guess I'll go to Florida and get myself some sun There ain't no more opportunity here, everything's been done Sometime I think of Tweeter, sometime I think of Jan Sometime I don't think about nothing but the Monkey Man And the walls came down, all the way to hell Never saw them when they're standing, never saw them when they fell And the walls came down, all the way to hell Never saw them when they're standing, never saw them when they fell Quote The Keyboard Chronicles Podcast Check out your fellow forumites in an Apple Music playlist Check out your fellow forumites in a Spotify playlist My Music: Stainless Fields Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fleer Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 They sat together in the park As the evening sky grew dark She looked at him and he felt a spark Tingle to his bones 'Twas then he felt alone And wished that he'd gone straight And watched out for a simple twist of fate (I know, I"m a romantic) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
