Nowaday's Clancy Can't Even Sing Lyrics - Buffalo Springfield

Hey who's that stomping all over my face? 

Where's that silhouette I'm trying to trace? 

Who's putting sponge in the bells I once rung? 

And taking my gypsy before she's begun? 

To singing the meaning of what's in my mind 

Before I can take home what's rightfully mine 

Joinin' and listenin' and talkin' in rhymes 

Stoppin' the feeling to wait for the times 

Who's saying baby that don't mean a thing 

'Cause nowadays Clancy can't even sing 

And who's all hung-up on that happiness thing? 

Who's trying to tune all the bells that he rings? 

And who's in the corner and down on the floor? 

With pencil and paper just counting the score? 

And who's trying to act like he just in between? 

The night isn't black, it can only be screened 

Don't bother looking you're too blind to see 

Who's coming on like he wanted to be 

Who's saying baby, that don't mean a thing 

'Cause nowadays Clancy can't even sing 

And who's coming home on the old ninety five? 

Who's got the feeling to keep him alive 

Though havin' it, sharin' it ain't quite the same 

It ain't no gold nugget you can't lay a claim 

Who's seeing eyes through the crack in the floor 

There it is baby don't you worry no more 

Who should be sleepin' but is writing this song 

Wishin' and a-hopin' he weren't so damned wrong 

Who's saying baby, that don't mean a thing 

'Cause nowadays Clancy can't even sing 

Who's saying baby that don't mean a thing 

'Cause nowadays Clancy can't even sing
