Some that immediately spring to mind: 3I met a redneck on a Grecian isle Who did the goat dance very well He gave me back my smile But he kept my camera to sell2 (California) 3Dreaming of the pleasure I9m going to have Watching your hairline recede My vain darling2 (Just Like this Train) 3Coyote9s in the coffee shop He9s staring a hole in his scrambled eggs He picks up mu scent on his fingers While he9s watching the waitresses legs2 (Coyote) 3Well there9s a wide, wide world of noble causes And lovely landscapes to discover But all I really want right now Is find another lover2 (Song for Sharon) NP: Nobody9s Girl, Bonnie Raitt ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 07 Jul 2004 09:43:35 -0400 From: Jerry Notaro Subject: Re: LOL - Sarcastic Joni lyrics > Any other funny or sarcastic Joni lyrics anyone would like to share? > > Thanks, > Wes > "Watching your hairline recede, my vain darling," jumps to the top of the list.

Let me know offlist and I'll hook y'all up. Bob NP: Beck, "Lonesome Tears" ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 7 Jul 2004 10:25:42 EDT From: SCJoniGuy@aol.com Subject: Re: LOL - Sarcastic Joni lyrics Hi Wes, great to see you posting...I don't know as Joni uses sarcasm per se a lot in her writing as she typically is very direct in what she says most of the time, but to me her debut song is one of her most sarcastic. "I Had A King" describes Chuck's car as a 'salt-rusted carriage', and she pokes fun at the 'ladies in ginham' that blush when he sings of war and woe. Humor & sarcasm are two different things...I always thought her funniest line was the one from "Talk To Me": I didn't know I drank such a lot Till I pissed a tequila anaconda The full length of the parking lot! Then she does the whole chicken-squawking thing which is pretty funny too!
