In a dog's life

A year is really more like seven

And all too soon a canine

Will be chasing cars in doggie heaven

 

It seems to me

As we make our own few circles 'round the sun

We get it backwards

And our seven years go by like one

 

Dog years...It's the season of the itch

Dog years...With every scratch it reappears

Since no one has mentioned him yet, I will.

Actually, I won't. These lyrics should make it obvious. Baby. Yeah.

 

I want to get away [X4]

Yeah

I want to get away

I want to fly away

Yeah with you

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

 

- - - - -

 

So tell me why we got to die / And kill each other one by one

We've got to love and rub-a-dub / We've got to dance and be in love

 

But what I really want to know is

Are you gonna go my way ?

And I got to got to know

Are you gonna go my way ?

'Cause baby I got to know, yeah

 

- - - - -

 

Love transcends all space and time / And love can make a little child smile

Oh can't you see / This won't go wrong

But we got to be strong / We can't do it alone

 

We got to let love rule

Let love rule

We got to let love rule

Let love rule

 

Lenny! He's a shocker, but that tone!!! :guitar:

 

I looked over several of his song lyrics (chosen randomly) and he's not too bad, actually.

Just prone to cliche and really, really repetitive.

I find some of it appalling. I used to listen to him quite a bit, especially the first few albums.

I'm a Dream Theater fan, but "The Count of Tuscany" may have the worst lyrics I've ever heard sung.

 

I know, right? I just couldn´t believe it when I first heard it...

Just looked those up.

Some are fine, some are very strange. Am I missing a backstory?

Listening to "Supper's Ready" at the moment. It's lyrics like these that prevent me from loving Gabriel-era Genesis as much as mid-era Genesis:

 

There's Winston Churchill dressed in drag,

he used to be a British flag, plastic bag, what a drag.

The frog was a prince, the prince was a brick, the brick was an egg,

the egg was a bird.

(Fly away you sweet little thing, they're hard on your tail)

Hadn't you heard?

(They're going to change you into a human being!)

Yes, we're happy as fish and gorgeous as geese,

and wonderfully clean in the morning.

 

:facepalm:
