51 - Everybody Lies – Leo Kottke – 1978



            Another great sing-a-long song for my early morning, before my voice goes into its usual upper register whine.

            “Underneath the trees tonight, where little men sleep,

            All that snow will turn to ice, while their lovers creep.”

                        ***

            “We could live in Dave’s hands, at Sunnyland Park,

            And watch their little days there turning into dark.”


            Okay, Okay, I know I just made fun of Cat Stevens in my previous post for his lyrics for “Novim’s Nightmare”, but these are the type of lyrics I expect from the man whose song titles include, “When Shrimps Learn to Whistle,” “Vaseline Machine Gun,” “The Spanish Entomologist,” and “Tilt Billings and the Student Prince.”
