> [@bluecanary](#): > > Another infamous one: > **Elton John - ‘Your Song’** > _“If I were a sculptor, but then again no”_ Within the context of the song this isn’t so stupid, though. It’s written as if it were a work in progress. The narrator was working on a line about being a sculptor, then thought better of it. Elsewhere in the song the narrator admits to having trouble with his rhyme scheme, says he can’t remember the eye color of the person the song is being written for, etc. I don’t care for the original version of this song, but it’s used to good effect in _Moulin Rouge_ where Ewan McGregor’s character is portrayed as making it up on the spot for Nicole Kidman. ---

It may have been that I was mentioning that that video has the most unrealistic fight scene I’ve ever seen. Valete, Vox Imperatoris ---

> [@gallows\_fodder](#): > > I think it’s parsed more like: > > _I could sleep, I could sleep when I lived alone! > Is there a ghost in my house?_ > > Not that this improves things much. 😛 I see that now…but the way it’s sung, it’s not at all punctuated that way. People need to learn to be clearer. Perhaps I’m just nit picking, but eh, it happens. Saw Roundabout posted earlier, thought of another Yes gem Long distance Run Around \*Cold summer…glistening, hot colour, melting the anger to stone. I still remember the dream there, I still remember the time you said goodbye. Did we really tell lies, melting in the sunshine? Did we really tell lies? Did we really count to one hundred, looking for the sunshine. \* …eh, what? ---
