hums of a bore

A couple of posts ago I went on at some length about a couplet from the Jim Morrison/Doors song "Break on Through." Here are the other two lyrics that pop into mind when I think about pop faves.

Don't start me talking

I could talk all night

My mind is sleepwalking...

That's by Elvis Costello, from "Oliver's Army." I don't think I want to write any additional words about it. Some of the mystery has faded from "Break on Through" since I wrote about it.
The other is "Tighten Up" by Archie Bell and The Drells - a tightened up version appears below:

Hi everybody  

I'm Archie Bell of the Drells 

From Houston, Texas 

In Houston we just started a new dance 

Called the Tighten Up

This is the music 

We tighten up with 

Let's tighten it up now

Let's tighten it up now

Tighten it up

Do the tighten up

Come and tighten it up

Tighten it up now

Come on now, Billy

Tighten it up 

Oh, yeah

Now look here 

Tighten it up now  

Now everybody tighten it up now

Tighten it up

Tighten it up now

Come on and tighten it up

Tighten it up now

You can do it....

The SINGER is in the SONG. The SONG is what the WORDS are. The WORDS are what the SONG is made of. The DANCE is what the WORDS in the SONG say. 

Now make it mellow.
