Smile When You Call Me That Lyrics

Lyric discussion by onethingscertain 

Cover art for Smile When You Call Me That lyrics by Jakob Dylan

I like his use of cliches--he seems to either stack them up so that they don't appear cliche or he twists them a bit. Like "If time were money, then look at me/I'm richer than a poor man should be" or "no rich man's worth his weight in dust" (from "Nothing But the Whole Wide World) as opposed to "no rich man's worth his weight in gold". There's a lot more on the album but that's all I can think of right now.

I dont man, i wouldnt call them cliche. But i think some of his lyrics are ridiculous. I think to myself how could something like that came out of someones mouth. They are amazing, "While your unfolding in some ones hand/ i'l drink up and be somebodys man. Something that everyone can relate to. He is a great musician and im gunna see him in july.
