I think Ted "Steely Dan" Thompson's response might go something like this:<br /><br /><i>Your everlasting summer<br />You can see it fading fast<br />So you grab a piece of something<br />That you think is gonna last<br />You wouldnt know a diamond<br />If you held it in your hand<br />The things you think are precious<br />I cant understand<br /><br />Chorus:<br />Are you reelin in the years<br />Stowin away the time<br />Are you gatherin' up the tears<br />Have you had enough of mine?<br /><br />You been tellin me you're a genius<br />Since you were rookie green<br />In all the time Ive known you<br />I still dont know what you mean<br />The weekend with Ed Werder<br />Sure worked out like you planned<br />Why you are such a Diva<br />I can't understand<br /><br />Chorus<br /><br />I spend a lot of money<br />And I spent a lot of time<br />The trips we made to the Super Bowl<br />Are etched upon my mind<br />After all the things we've done and seen<br />You've overplayed your hand<br />The things you think we'll put up with<br />I can't understand<br /><br />Are you reelin in the cheers,<br />Throwin' away the ball,<br />Are you ignoring all the jeers,<br />Have you had enough of mine?</i><br /><br />That's just what came to mind. In the Zevon catalog, however, I'm thinking there's potential gold in songs such as "Excitable Boy", "Lawyers, Guns & Money" and "Mr. Bad Example."Night Writerhttp://thenightwriterblog.comnoreply@blogger.com
