One of the reasons why I like old songs is the fact that lyrics were so well written back then. Unlike songs now where all you need is a catchy phrase that you'll repeat until your ears bleed, the songs of yesteryears had words that were very emotional and evocative.
I have a long list of songs with lyrics that I really like, to a point that I wish I wrote it myself. And in the spirit of Friday Magic Madness, I'll post 2 of my favorites.
1. "You're so vain" by Carly Simon
Best bit: "I've had some dreams, they were clouds in my coffee, clouds in my coffee."
2. "Windmills of my mind" by Petula Clark
Best bit: "Like a carousel that's turning, running rings around the moon." (And pretty much everything else.)
Now these are lyrics!
