Nowadays, Clancy Can't Even Sing
Buffalo Springfield
As heard on a compact disc reissue of the 1969 LP "The Very Best of Buffalo Springfield - Retrospective
(Repeat)
Hey, who's that stompin' all over my face
Where's that silhouette I'm trying to trace
Who's puttin' sponge in the bells I once rung
And taken my gypsy before she's begun
To singin' the meanin' of what's in my mind
Before I can take home what's rightfully mine
Joinin' and a-listenin' and talkin' in rhymes
Stoppin' the feelin' to wait for the time
Who's sayin' babe, that I don't mean a thing
'Cause nowadays, Clancy can't even sing
(Repeat)
And who's all hung up on that happiness thing
Who's tryin' to tune all the bells that he rings
And who's in the corner and down on the floor
With pencil and paper just countin' the score
And who's gonna act like he's just in between
The night isn't black if you know that it's green
Don't bother lookin', you're too blind to see
Who's comin' home like he wanted to be
Who's sayin' babe, that I don't mean a thing
'Cause nowadays, Clancy can't even sing
(Repeat)
And who's comin' home on old 95
Who's got the feelin' there to keep in line
Though havin' it, sharin' it ain't quite the same
To paint a golden nugget, you can't lay a claim
Who's seein' eyes through the crack in the floor
There it is baby, don't you worry no more
Who should be sleepin' what's writin' this song
Wishin' and a-hopin' he weren't so damn long
Who's sayin' babe, that I don't mean a thing
'Cause nowadays, Clancy can't even sing
Who's sayin' babe, that I don't mean a thing
'Cause nowadays, Clancy can't even sing
Hold on
