"And my Stacy's are soaking wet" : Stacy refers to Stacy Adams, a brand of men's dress shoes. Waits has said in the past "Stacey Adams once were a very prestigious shoe... if you had them on then nobody messed with you and you could go anywhere. Stacey's stayed ahead of current affairs and were considered extremely hip." Old Bushmill's: Irish whiskey from the 400-year-old Old Bushmills Distillery in County Antrim, Ireland. |

| John Prine – Souvenirs Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
The correct lyrics for Souvenirs, co written by John Prine and Steve Goodman are as follows: All the snow has turned to water, Christmas days have come and gone. Broken toys and faded colors Are all that's left to linger on. I hate graveyards and old pawn shops, For they always bring me tears. I can't forgive the way they robbed me Of my childhood souvenirs. Memories, they can't be bought. (Hmm..) They can't be won at carnivals for free. Well it took me years to get those souvenirs, And I don't know how they slipped away from me. Broken hearts and dirty windows Make life difficult to see. That's why last night and this morning Always look the same to me. And I hate reading old love letters For they always bring me tears. I can't forget the way they robbed me, Of my sweetheart souvenirs. Memories they can't be bought. (Hmm...) They can't be won at carnivals for free. Well it took me years to get those souvenirs And I don't know how they slipped away from me. This is really one of the loveliest songs ever written. The material things one runs across from time to time can be reminders of moments almost forgotten. |
