Calling out to carol
She could really twist the screws
What'cha doin' monday
And are you back on the booze?
Now, I've been dooin' some thinkin'
About colorado springs
A dirty denim jacket
And a seven-dollar ring
What'cha doin' monday

Now, I've been dooin' some thinkin'
About colorado springs
A dirty denim jacket
And a seven-dollar ring
Well, I've been keepin' busy
I've got lots of pots boiling on the stove
Who's that in the background
I'm sorry that I asked guess I should have known

Callin' out to carol on the telephone call
Message on a wire comin' through a wall
Talk about old times but not too long ago
Carol was the girl that everybody got to know

When'd you change your number? hey, carol!
It's different than you had
Have you got protection?
I know some police are bad
But that's not why I called you up, now
You know I quit that scene
I told ya 'bout your pictures
I guess I'll buy that magazine

I know some police are bad
But that's not why I called you up, now
You know I quit that scene
I told ya 'bout your pictures
I guess I'll buy that magazine
And I still remember
All those days we spent alone
You went one way while I went the other
Sometimes, I guess, that's the way things go
All those days we spent alone
You went one way while I went the other
Sometimes, I guess, that's the way things go
When they called me in the morning
And told me that she'd gone
I didn't want to hear it
So I just hung up the phone
And told me that she'd gone
I didn't want to hear it

Jesus h CHRIST. When you write songs about specific people it is awesome if you happen to me named Carol, but it makes the rest of us all feel excluded from the song. It’s sad cuz there are some good songs with names in them but they always make me sad in the end. Aileen, Jude, Sarah. There are many. Sad musicians need to share their personal songs with the public. Also this guy has no lips.
Also, I have never heard this song before.
I've never heard this song before either
But I recognized the voice - He was the singer of Wall of Voodoo
'I'm on a Mexican radio'
I agree with Berv on this one in that songs with a name as the title usually hits a very limited audience
The person with the name may or may not like it
But you know people sing that song to them throughout their entire lives
My belief is that if you're gonna use a name in the title, you better make sure it's a great song
There are some great ones out there
~ Louie Louie, Mack the Knife, Michelle, Lovely Rita, Angie, Cecilia, Bad Bad Leroy Brown, Marcella, Runaround Sue, Tom Dooley,
Sweet Caroline, Fernando, Come On Eileen, Mrs. Robinson, Barbara Ann, Wind Cries Mary, Buddy Holly, Hey Jude, Jaime's Cryin,
Johnny Be Goode, Levon, Roxanne, Ruby Tuesday...
But with all these great songs, there's an almost infinite amount of bad ones out there
So I guess it comes down to hoping that the songs with your name in the title, turn out to be great
Or you could write one yourself, but it would be weird writing a song with your own name
That's like giving yourself a nickname, it's just something you don't do
Man... It is obvious Dan put a little thought. Aaron just lashed out like an old skinny tiger in a roadside zoo in Oklahoma.
