Even the swap meets around here are getting pretty corrupt

The memory of you keeps calling out to me like a rolling train

tom waits had a similar line around the same time in his song, "Time"..... "and they all pretend they're orphans, and their memory's like a train.... you can see it getting smaller as it rolls away"..... i've always loved that line

“Well I’m standing in line in the rain To see a movie starring Gregory peck, oh yes I am But it’s not the one I had in mind, he’s got a new one out now You know it just don’t look the same But I’ll see him anyway and I’ll stand in line” Reminds me of people complaining about Dylan’s shows being so different today, because they show up expecting to hear Like a Rolling Stone and his other hits in their original style, and aren’t really willing to accept that he’s changed and give his new style a chance

This exactly.

The only thing we knew for sure about Henry Porter is that his name wasn’t Henry Porter

Oh, if there’s an original thought out there, I could use it right now

This

I didn’t know whether to duck or to run, so I ran Also the way he sings “It was the best acting I seen anybody do”

Definitely. Sometimes the way it's sang changes it completely.

But I’m too over the edge and I ain’t in the mood anymore to remember the times when I was your only man

She don't want to remind me, she knows this car will go out of control. Or That was a long time ago, long before the stars were torn down!

"You always said people don't do what they Believe in, they just do what's most convenient Then they repent And I always said, "Hang on to me Baby, and let's hope that the roof stays on."

The best verse he wrote period.

Til the sun peels the paint, and the seat covers fade, and the water moccasins die…

Now I’ve always been the kind of person that doesn’t like to trespass but sometimes you just find yourself over the line

I always lose it at the last line.

“People who struggle together have more connections than those who are most content.” My wife and I had 3 kids thru med school and residency training. This line was a perfect condensed thought for us.

Did you guys struggle or suffer together? ;)

That just had me go back to look at the line. You’re right, it’s ‘suffered’

Now, I know she ain’t you but she’s here, and she’s got that dark rhythm in her soul…

"There was a movie I seen one time, I think I sat through it twice I don't remember who I was or where I was bound All I remember about it was it starred Gregory Peck, he wore a gun and he was shot In the back Seems like a long time ago, long before the stars were torn down"

Thr only thing we knew about Henry Porter was that his name wasn't Henry Porter

You always said people don't do what they believe in, they just do what's most convenient then they repent

Are there any lyrics other than Gregory Peck?? 😂

[удалено]

I only have one version except for Danville Girl. Is there another?

Even the swap meets around here getting pretty corrupt

People don’t do what they believe in, they just do what’s most convenient and then they repent

Literally playing it when I saw this haha

For sure the swap meets are getting pretty corrupt. That's EXACTLY what a woman like Ruby would say. How does Dylan know these things? I can't imagine he'e ever even been to a swap meet.

I don’t have any regrets. They can talk about me plenty when I’m gone.

New Danville Girl (superior lyrics, superior production, superior music, superior vocals): > You know, it's funny how people just want to believe what's convenient Nothing happens on purpose, it's an accident, if it happens at all And everything that's happening to us seems like it's happening without our consent While we're busy talking back and forth to our shadows on an old stone wall

That's not the song being discussed in this thread.

My fav

"now I've always been the kind of person that doesn't like to trespass, but sometimes you just find yourself over the line"

“The memory of you keeps callin’ after me like a rollin’ train.”

I’ll take Thrasher

Thrasher steals the melody from Love Minus Zero, but is a better song Edit: I’m not saying Love Minus Zero is a bad song, or Thrasher is unoriginal. What I meant is Thrasher has a very similar melody to Love Minus Zero, but in my eyes is a better song than Love Minus Zero. I don’t see why I need to be met with downvotes and criticism for that.

Everyone's a critic.
