Lyrics of the Day – February 25, 2008

Today’s lyrics come to us from the song “MacArthur Park” by Richard Harris, supposedly voted the Worst Song of All Time. Just feel the passion behind these words:

“Spring was never waiting for us, girl
It ran one step ahead
As we followed in the dance
Between the parted pages and were pressed
In love’s hot, fevered iron
Like a striped pair of pants

MacArthur’s Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don’t think that I can take it
‘Cause it took so long to bake it
And I’ll never have that recipe again
Oh, no!”

Amen, Richard Harris. Amen.
