"The Poseur" lyrics
"The Poseur"
The poseur's in town
The poseur's around
Hey, it don't bother me
But there's a guy eyein' you
He's watched you all night and he's looked you all over
He got his eye on you
But don't act like you're surprised
Because that smooth-looking guy's undressing you with his eyes
Look at him look you over
He thinks he can win you over
He'll flirt for a while, make passes and smile at you
But he'll never come over
'Cause he's just a poseur
Who thinks he's a Casanova
That dude standing over there
He thinks he really looks cool
The ladies think he looks smooth
But he's rehearsed every move
He stands in front of the mirror all day
Now he's on display and he's so well-routined
We've all come here to dance but he's just here to be seen
Look at him bossa nova
Look at him move and sway
But he's been practicing days to make his hair fall a certain way
But he'll never come over
'Cause he's just a poseur
Who thinks he's a Casanova
Look at him bossa nova, yeah
The poseur's in town

Cause your man is out of town
That's the time you get me runnin'...
The Velvet Underground - "Oh! Sweet Nuthin'" Say a word for Jimmy Brown
He ain't got nothing at all
Not a shirt right of his back
He ain't got nothing at all
And say a word for Ginger Brown
Walks with his head down to the ground
Took the shoes...
George Harrison - "Got My Mind Set On You" I got my mind set on you
I got my mind set on you
I got my mind set on you
I got my mind set on you

A whole lotta spending money
It's gonna take plenty of money
To do it...
Crosby, Stills & Nash - "Helplessly Hoping" Helplessly hoping
Her harlequin hovers nearby
Awaiting a word
Gasping at glimpses
Of gentle true spirit
He runs, wishing he could fly
Only to trip at the sound of good-bye
Wordlessly watching
He...
Neil Young - "Ohio" Tin soldiers and Nixon coming
We're finally on our own
This summer I hear the drumming
Four dead in Ohio
Gotta get down to it
Soldiers are cutting us down
Should have been done long ago
What if you...
