Musicbrainz DBi've gone a bit country since i met you baby
i used to be so rock 'n' roll
it's a question of confidence, maybe
wandering off down a long, dusty road
banjo and violin
once i was lost in the crush of the crowd
and drums coming up through the floor
now it's lone strings that cry out loud
in minor keys whispered
through the cracks in the door
you walked in like a lonesome highway
tumbleweed at your heel
the question is, 'how big does the skey get?'
and am i alone in what i feel
if this is the state you find me in
blame it on the banjo and violin
blame it on the way i've been travelling
blame it on the banjo and violin
i used to be so rock 'n' roll
it's a question of confidence, maybe
wandering off down a long, dusty road
banjo and violin
once i was lost in the crush of the crowd
and drums coming up through the floor
now it's lone strings that cry out loud
in minor keys whispered
through the cracks in the door
you walked in like a lonesome highway
tumbleweed at your heel
the question is, 'how big does the skey get?'
and am i alone in what i feel
if this is the state you find me in
blame it on the banjo and violin
blame it on the way i've been travelling
blame it on the banjo and violin
| kdarwish (Turku, Finland) | Posted: May 10, 2013 - 22:00 Eclectic, right Bill? Bit like a cross between Dueling Banjos and Miserlou. Fine. |
| glassman (Nanaimo, British Columbia) | Posted: Oct 03, 2012 - 11:38 I hear violins, but no banjos. |
| Essifer | Posted: Aug 01, 2012 - 11:59 The sound reminds me of Shivaree. |

I've heard a lot of people want to ban sax & violins but I say what's wrong with them? I remember that lovely Lawrence Welk fellow, with that one-a, two-a. How can a jazz band play without a sax, or an orchestra without violins? That's just silly. And that gal country group that got into trouble - you know, the Pixy Sticks? - how could they play without their violins? I think we need MORE sax and violins! Bring back Ed Sullivan! Have a nice day! (old joke. sorry, I couldn't resist. I'll go back to working now) |
| Antigone (A house, in a valley, Virginia) | Posted: Jun 02, 2010 - 07:36 I still love this song ... such a cool mix of sounds, and her voice. Great lyrics too. |

| ziggytrix (Dallas, TX) | Posted: Mar 25, 2008 - 12:41 i was just imagining Waits singing this tune (OK, replace "imagining" with "singing along in a laying-it-on-thick-Waits imitation voice"... but i digress) and Bill follows it up with a Little Drop of Poison! yay, i love this station! |
| Tomcat12 (Upstate NY) | Posted: Mar 22, 2008 - 19:44 This seems tango-influenced to me...even with the odd instrumentation. Shades of the Gotan Project! |
