Thread Name: Lyr Req: A Horse with No Name (from America)
Subject: RE: Desert-Horse-Name
Got that right, Mousethief...we're jealous! Here I've slaved away for decades writing lyrics that actually mean something, and what has it got me? The respect of a small circle of fellow songwriters and musicians in my area. Meanwhile, the guys in the band America are no doubt filthy rich as a result of lyrics that mean practically nothing (I'm being charitable).

It's just not fair!

But maybe it's not too late...

"Well I've been to the ocean on a Newt with no name
It felt good to be out of my brain
On the ocean, you can't remember no blame
Cos there ain't no bum for to give you no shame
La la la la la la la la la la la la la..."

Awright!!! Royalty checks, I'm a-waitin'! I feel more inspiration a-comin' on...

"Baby, I'm a-want you, baby I'm a-need you, baby I'm a-nidiot, BABY!!! Don't LEAVE ME!!!"

Gosh, this stuff is easy...

All those years wasted on folk music. I could cry.
