Nowadays Clancy Can’t Even Sing (Elektra Audition 1965) Neil Young

[Verse 1]
Hey, who's that stomping all over my face?
Where's that silhouette I'm trying to trace?
Who's putting sponge in the bells I once rung?
Taking my gypsy before she's begun

To singing the meaning of what's in my mind
Before I can take home what's rightfully mine
Joinin' and listenin' and talkin' in rhymes
Stoppin' the feeling to wait for the times

And who's saying baby that don't mean a thing?
'Cause nowadays Clancy can't even sing

[Verse 2]
And who's all hung-up on the happiness thing?
And trying to tune all the bells that he rings?
And who's in the corner and down on the floor
With pencil and paper just counting the score?

And who's trying to act like he's just in between?
The night isn't black if you know that it's green
Don't bother looking, you're too blind to see
Who's coming on like he wanted to be

Who's saying baby that don't mean a thing?
'Cause nowadays Clancy can't even sing
