I pulled in to Nazareth, I was feeling about half past dead... |

Hopefully, everybody'll know to add a line subject line by subject line; you can skip the refrain if you want though.
For extra credit, explain the Crazy Chester stanza. Was Chester threatening him? Why "I'm a peaceful man" (besides that it rhymes)? Fix your what?

10. It's "He said 'I will fix your ____/ if you take Jack my dog'" |
|
where the blank sounds most like "wreck"; then comes I said 'Wait a minute Chester/ You know I'm a peaceful man'/ He said, 'That's ok, boy, won't you feed him when you can?' Whatever you put after "fix your" (wreck, rack, Iraq), it still doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

11. not to get off course too much..... |
|
but my favorite mis heard lyric comes from a beach boys song.. Help Me Rhonda.
" Since she put me down, there's been owls pooping on my head "
I have NO idea what the correct lyrics are.

According to a pretty definitive site, it's: "Well, since she put me down I`ve been out doing in my head"
Do I have any guess what this means? Nooooooo. I liked your way better!

18. I laughed for 5 minutes... |
|
That is too funny! And it is "out doin' in my head". So, I guess if you think about it, poop was happening either way.
Thanks for the laugh!
Peace

I've always thought it was rack, as in a slang term for a bed.
:shrug:
I've also always thought it was 'take a load off Annie', but how can one tell since the ending of the prior lyric is ff ??
off Annie off Fanny
:shrug:
best. singer. ever. eh?

I pulled in to Nazareth, was feeling 'bout half past dead I just need some place where I can lay my head ``Hey mister, can you tell me where a man might find a bed?'' He just grinned and shook my hand, ``No'' was all he said
Take a load off, Fanny Take a load for free Take a load off, Fanny And you put the load right on me
I picked up my bag, I went looking for a place to hide When I saw Carmen and the Devil walking side by side I said ``Hey Carmen, come on, let's go downtown'' She said ``I gotta go but my friend can stick around''
Go down Miss Moses, there's nothing you can say It's just old Luke, and Luke's waiting on the judgement day ``Well, Luke my friend, what about young Anna-Lee?'' He said ``Do me a favour son, won't you stay and keep Anna-Lee company?''
Crazy Chester followed me and he caught me in the fog He said ``I will fix your rat if you'll take Jack my dog'' I said ``Wait a minute Chester, you know I'm a peaceful man'' He said ``That's okay boy, won't you feed him when you can?''
Catch a cannonball now to take me down the line My bag is sinking low and I do believe it's time To get back to Miss Fanny, you know she's the only one Who sent me here to the Brewery tonight, with her regards for everyone
----
Fog something to do with Jack the Ripper?
Chester like Chesterfields; Fog of smoke; rack - chest; followed me like an addiction?
Carmen - girl with VD? Go downtown - my friend the devil (VD) can stick around?
