Sad Songs And Waltzes Lyrics
i'm writing a song all about you.
a true song as real as my tears.
but you've no need to fear it
cause no one will hear it.
sad songs and waltzes aren't selling this year.
i'll tell all about how you cheated.
i'd like for the whole world to hear.
i'd like to get even
with you cause you're leavin'.
but sad songs and waltzes aren't selling this year.
it's a good thing that i'm not a star.
you don't know how lucky you are.
though my record may say it,
no one will play it.
sad songs and waltzes aren't selling this year.
it's a good thing that i'm not a star.
you don't know how lucky you are.
though my record may say it,
no one will play it.
sad songs and waltzes aren't selling this year.
I suspect that Willie Nelson appreciates this cover a great deal. As the last song on Fashion Nugget, it really caps off the album with a nice, self-mocking tone. The spare musical style of Cake highlights the lyrics.
ButtOfMalmsey, you're so right. They also really manage to duplicate Willie's sound. This was the first version of this song that I heard and it was also the first time I had ever heard any Willie Nelson. Later when I heard more Williw, I said to myself, "Man, this sounds like Cake!" Although that was just probably Cake doing too good of a cover.
It's an awesome song; one of my favorites on Fashion Nugget. I didn't realize it was a cover for a long time because it is so like Cake in overall tone.
the third... THIRD cover song on this album!
So what if it's the third cover song on the album? Cake picks great songs to cover, and they make them their own.
i think this song is straight forward. no metaphoric reasoning what-so-ever.
It's an awesome song; one of my favorites on Fashion Nugget. I didn't realize it was a cover for a long time because it is so like Cake in overall tone.
More praise as a final song on Fashion Nugget, definately.
Clever Cake.
same thing in this song, willywillywilly, only it isn't well publicized in the song, so the publication of the divorce fails.
My girlfriend cheated on me, its a good thing sad songs and waltzs arent selling this year, its good thing that im not a star, she doesnt know how lucky she is...
