Jessi Colter – I'm Not Lisa Lyrics 3 years ago
If "I'm not Lisa" is Jessi Colter's song (which it is) and Jessi is singing it (which she is) . . . WHY does she refer to herself (in the song) as "Julie" ????

Because it SOUNDS better ? There is not a rhyming problem.

I can't find anything on this.

Steely Dan – Deacon Blues Lyrics 12 years ago
Well thought out and explained. Brother, I think you are on the right track. EXCEPT for the Crimson Tide logic - They got a [nick]name for the WINNERS in the world (i.e. one of the greatest football teams/schools EVER - Alabama's Crimson Tide (WINNER) and "I want a name when I LOSE". (WINNERS have nicknames, so should LOSERS have nicknames. Ergo, in John Lennon's words, "I'm a LOSER," and I want to be known as 'Deacon Blue'. (A pretty good nickname especially for a loser.) [Crimson (for a WINNER) vs. Blue (for a LOSER). Apropos for a loser.
Also, my take on "I'll learn to WORK the saxophone . . ." Fagan already knows how to PLAY music, he would only have to master the mechanics of playing on another instrument (Saxophone).
Anyway . . . great song and good explanation.
