Why Do I Bother?

This song has been running around in my head for a few weeks now and it took me a while to remember who it was. Alan Parsons is probably one of the strangest artists/producers/engineers in the music business. This video from the 70’s confirms it. Inexplicably, It seems to be loosely based on “I Robot“, the book by Isaac Asimov.

I love this song and I can think of a few people in my past who I would love to send the lyrics (or at least a similar sentiment) to in a letter. I’ve included the lyrics below. Enjoy the video.

Lead vocal: lenny zakatek

If I had a mind to
I wouldnt want to think like you
And if I had time to
I wouldnt want to talk to you

I dont care
What you do
I wouldnt want to be like you

If I was high class
I wouldnt need a buck to pass
And if I was a fall guy
I wouldnt need no alibi

I dont care
What you do
I wouldnt want to be like you

Back on the bottom line
Diggin for a lousy dime
If I hit a mother lode
Id cover anything that showed

I dont care
What you do
I wouldnt want to be like you

This has been in my head for 2 days now. Listening to the classic rock station as I work on the Deck brings a lot of old songs back. Enjoy:

Home in the valley
Home in the city
Home isnt pretty
Aint no home for me

Home in the darkness
Home on the highway
Home isnt my way
Home Ill never be

Burn out the day
Burn out the night
I cant see no reason to put up a fight
Im living for givin the devil his due
And Im burnin, Im burnin, Im burnin for you
Im burnin, Im burnin, Im burnin for you

Time is the essence
Time is the season
Time aint no reason
Got no time to slow

Time everlasting
Time to play b-sides
Time aint on my side
Time Ill never know

Burn out the day
Burn out the night
Im not the one to tell you whats wrong and whats right
Ive seen suns that were freezing and lives that were through
And Im burnin, Im burnin, Im burnin for you
Im burnin, Im burnin, Im burnin for you

This happens so often I thought I might try to make it a feature on the site. I’m going to call it “the song in my head” and I’ll just post the lyrics to whatever song is currently stuck in my head so you can share in my misery … or joy … whatever.

Here’s the first one. It’s a catchy little ditty from Rod Stewart.

If I listened long enough to you
Id find a way to believe that its all true
Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried
Still I look to find a reason to believe

Someone like you makes it hard to live without
Somebody else
Someone like you makes it easy to give
Never think about myself

If I gave you time to change my mind
Id find a way just to leave the past behind
Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried
Still I look to find a reason to believe

If I listened long enough to you
Id find a way to believe that its all true
Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried
Still I look to find a reason to believe

Someone like you makes it hard to live without
Somebody else
Someone like you makes it easy to give
Never think about myself

And a video:
