We hear you're leaving, that's OK

[GregW]

(Yes, it's time for another Steely Dan thread!)

RIKKI DON'T LOSE THAT NUMBER

We hear you're leaving, that's OK
I thought our little wild time had just begun
I guess you kind of scared yourself, you turn and run
But if you have a change of heart

CHORUS:
Rikki don't lose that number
You don't wanna call nobody else
Send it off in a letter to yourself
Rikki don't lose that number
It's the only one you own
You might use it if you feel better
When you get home

I have a friend in town, he's heard your name
We can go out driving on Slow Hand Row
We could stay inside and play games, I don't know
And you could have a change of heart

CHORUS

You tell yourself you're not my kind
But you don't even know your mind
And you could have a change of heart

CHORUS

1. Never quite understood what that song meant....

...was Rikki leaving a swing club or something?

[liberalpress]

3. Rikki's a guy...

..get it?

[GregW]

4. Well, duh!

Thanks! That song suddenly made sense to me, too.

[wyldwolf]

5. He's gay?

...not that there's anything wrong with that!

2. I agree...ya can't have too much DAN!

MY SD song for the day:

FIRE IN THE HOLE

I decline
To walk the line
They tell me that I'm lazy
Worldly wise
I realize
That everybody's crazy
A woman's voice reminds me
To serve and not to speak
Am I myself or just another freak

Don't you know
There's fire in the hole
And nothing left to burn
I'd like to run out now
There's nowhere left to turn

With a cough
I shake it off
And work around my yellow stripe
Should I hide
And eat my pride
Or wait until it's good and ripe
My life is boiling over
It's happened once before
I wish someone would open up the door

Don't you know
There's fire in the hole
And nothing left to burn
I'd like to run out now
There's nowhere left to turn

[ronzo]

7. Great!

Major dan freak here.
Dig the new one?


cheers,
ronzo

6. My Fav SD song!

Thanks for reminding me! Haven't heard it lately.

[MrScorpio]

8. Peg

I've seen your picture
Your name in lights above it
This is your big debut
It's like a dream come true
And when you smile for the camera
I know they're gonna love it

I like your pin shot
I keep it with your letter
Done up in blueprint blue
It sure looks good on you
So won't you smile for the camera
I know I'll love you better

Peg
It will come back to you
Peg
It will come back to you
Then the shutter falls
You see it all in 3-D
It's your favorite foreign movie

9. I thoght our little wild time had just begun

this music has such a powerful, undefined (to me) quality. Takes me back emotionally, like few things can.

Something to do with a rainy day.
