Ben Folds - Barrytown Lyrics
I'm not one to look behind I know that times must change
But over there in Barrytown they do things very strange
And though you're not my enemy
I like things like they used to be
And though you'd like some company
Go play with someone else
I can see by what you carry that you came from Barrytown
Don't believe I'm taken in by stories I have heard
I just read the Daily News and swear by every word
And don't think that I'm out of line
For speaking out for what is mine
I'd like to see you do just fine
But look at what you wear
I can see by what you carry that you came from Barrytown
In the beginning we recall that the world was round
Barrytown people got to be from another world
Leave me or I'll be just like the others you will meet
They won't act as kindly if they see you on the street
And don't you scream or make a shout
It's nothing you can do about
It was there where you came out
It's a special lack of grace
I can see it in your face
I can see by what you carry that you came from Barrytown

Ben Folds Barrytown Comments
I'm a die hard Steely Dan fan, this cover has my blessing. Ben Folds is great.
quite a really nice cover by Ben. Love the Dan version, but I think they'd like the twist he puts into it..you just gotta kind of relax, turn off your mind and float downstream.. Ben's mixing in a sort of George Harrison, John Lennon I'm only sleeping kind of sitar sound. v clever. Ben also does vg covers of Elliot Smith
Great song no matter what but I love Ben's voice
No talent hack
Are you taking about Ben?
You are a clown
A very good version.
ben folds does a steely dan cover whaaaaaaat
Great cover !!!
