What about tramps like us? Were we born to run?
Do I see darkness, on the edge of town?
Why is the moon so hot?
Do you wear your sunglasses at night?
Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?
Are we caught in a landslide or will the landslide bring it down?
Will Rhiannon ever win?
Wasn’t Stevie Nicks asking if some unnamed “you” will ever win?
Will some unnamed “you” ever win and be Rhiannon’s lover?
Are there really fifty ways to leave your lover?
You’re not going to start listing them, are you?
Doesn’t the song list only a dozen or so?
Does it list stealing your lover’s cocaine stash and sneaking out the window, or would that be No. 51?
How about No. 52, leaving a bag of dogdoo on the porch, lighting it on fire, ringing the doorbell, then running?
Wouldn’t that be 50 ways to peeve your lover?
And just how many dances are mentioned in Wilson Pickett’s “Land of 1000 Dances”?
I’m guessing maybe quite a bit fewer than that, actually…?
Would counting the dances mentioned in that song be less difficult than counting the nos in the Zombies’ Tell Her No?
Might there be as many as the number of “ooga chakas” in Blue Swede’s “Hooked on a Feeling”?
How quickly do they replace the bottles of beer on the wall?
