Thread Name: Not-So-Good Lines in Songs
Subject: RE: Not-So-Good Lines in Songs
"Feeeeeelings! Nothing more than feeeelings!" (whatever they are)

A nice mixup although not intended in the song. The Riddle Song performed by a novice folkie. "I gave my love a baby that had no end". Someone called out, "That's the only way to have 'em."

Times change: "I feel so gay in a melancholy way".....................

Ol' John Jacob Niles might have mixed his styles up in his Olde English ballad,
"Lass From The Low Countree" by proclaiming at the end of the song, "He ain't got no soul, nor no sympathy."

Now here's a conundrum. "I hate to wake you up to say goodbye. So kiss me and smile for me." This after "I'm standing here outside your door". (walking through walls?)
