Buffalo Springfield Nowadays Clancy Cant Even Sing Lyrics

Nowadays Clancy Cant Even Sing Lyrics

Who's that stomping all over my face? 

     Where's that silhouette I'm
trying to trace? 

     Who's putting sponge in the bells I once rung 

     And taking my gypsy before she's begun 

     To singing the
meaning of what's in my mind 

     Before I can take home what's
rightfully mine. 

     Joinin' and listenin' and talkin' in rhymes 

     Stoppin' the feeling to wait for the times. 

      

    
Who's saying baby, that don't mean a thing, 

     'Cause nowadays Clancy
can't even sing. 

      

     And who's all hung-up on that
happiness thing? 

     Who's trying to tune all the bells that he rings?


     And who's in the corner and down on the floor 

     With
pencil and paper just counting the score? 

     And who's trying to act
like he's just in between? 

     The line isn't black, if you know that
it's green. 

     Don't bother looking, you're too blind to see 

  
  Who's coming on like he wanted to be. 

      

     Who's saying
baby, that don't mean a thing, 

     'Cause nowadays Clancy can't even
sing. 

      

     And who's coming home on the old nine-to-five?


     Who's got the feeling that he came alive, 

     Though havin'
it, sharin' it ain't quite the same 

     It ain't no gold nugget, you
can't lay a claim 

     Who's seeing eyes through the crack in the floor


     There it is baby, don't you worry no more 

     Who should be
sleepin', but is writing this song 

     Wishin' and a-hopin' he weren't
so damned wrong. 

      

     Who's saying baby, that don't mean a
thing, 

     'Cause nowadays Clancy can't even sing.
