A Bitter Bob Dylan
Bob Dylan can be really bitter sometimes. I pity the fool who tries to unfriend him on Facebook.
From She’s Your Lover Now, 1964:
I’d do it, but I, I just can’t remember how
You talk to her
She’s your lover now
From Idiot Wind, 1975:
One day you’ll be in the ditch, flies buzzin’ around your eyes
Blood on your saddle
From The Levee’s Gonna Break, 2006:
I picked you up from the gutter and this is the thanks I get
From Ballad of a Thin Man, 1965:
Because something is happening here
But you don’t know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?
From Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right, 1962:
I ain’t sayin’ you treated me unkind
You could have done better but I don’t mind
You just kinda wasted my precious time
From Everything Is Broken, 1989:
Seem like every time you stop and turn around
Something else just hit the ground
From Got My Mind Made Up, 1986:
You will be alright, girl,
Someone’s watchin’ over you.
He won’t do nothin’ to you
Baby that I wouldn’t do.
From It Ain’t Me Babe, 1964:
You say you’re lookin’ for someone
Who’ll pick you up each time you fall
To gather flowers constantly
An’ to come each time you call
A lover for your life an’ nothing more
But it ain’t me, babe
From Like a Rolling Stone, 1965:
And nobody has ever taught you how to live on the street
And now you find out you’re gonna have to get used to it
You said you’d never compromise
With the mystery tramp, but now you realize
He’s not selling any alibis
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
And ask him do you want to make a deal?
From Masters of War, 1963:
And I hope that you die
And your death’ll come soon
I will follow your casket
In the pale afternoon
And I’ll watch while you’re lowered
Down to your deathbed
And I’ll stand over your grave
And make sure that you’re dead
From Positively 4th Street, 1965:
You see me on the street
You always act surprised
You say, “How are you?” “Good luck”
But you don’t mean it
From Cold Irons Bound, 1997:
I thought they were friends of mine
I was wrong aobut them all.
