This is in heavy play right now. The first time it came on the radio, after the first line is whined out, I turned to Laura and said, "Honey, can that be our song?" She said, "No." Sad

I didn't proofread or edit lyrics007, for better or worse. Wink

Lily, that's my favorite part too.

And Russ, lyrics007 does that a lot. It once gave me "Atlantits."

These lyrics are stupid but I kind of like them that way:

I like this band, but these lyrics are hilariously bad.

Saw these guys on Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson a few nights back.

MacArthur Park
( Richard Harris )

Spring was never waiting for us, girl
It ran one step ahead
As we followed in the dance
Between the parted pages and were pressed
In love's hot, fevered iron
Like a striped pair of pants

MacArthur Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no!

I recall the yellow cotton dress
Foaming like a wave
On the ground around your knees
The birds, like tender babies in your hands
And the old men playing checkers by the trees

MacArthur Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no!

There will be another song for me
For I will sing it
There will be another dream for me
Someone will bring it
I will drink the wine while it is warm
And never let you catch me looking at the sun
And after all the loves of my life
After all the loves of my life
You'll still be the one

I will take my life into my hands and I will use it
I will win the worship in their eyes and I will lose it
I will have the things that I desire
And my passion flow like rivers through the sky
And after all the loves of my life
After all the loves of my life
I'll be thinking of you
And wondering why

MacArthur Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no!
Oh, no
No, no
Oh no!!

I actually love the song, but the lyrics are amazingly silly...

I guess talent doesn't require a proofread.
