Fagen, Donald - Miss Marlene Lyrics






Back in double-o-seven
Miss M was queen
She could roll like a pro rolls
When she was seventeen

Whether straight or hammered
She was the best in town
When she release the red ball
All the pins fall down

Can't you hear the balls rumble?
Can't you hear the balls rumble?
Miss Marlene
We're still bowling
Every Saturday night
Saturday night

Your move to the lane, child
Played on my heartstrings
With the long skinny legs, child
And your hoop earrings

When the stakes were sky-high
That's when you'd always shine
The ball would ride a moonbeam
Down the inside line

Can't you hear the balls rumble?
Can't you hear the balls rumble?
Miss Marlene
We're still bowling
Every Saturday night
Saturday night

And then one night something came apart
You were throwing back Hurricanes
And we knew someone
Had played with your heart

You ran into the dark street
At University Place
The cab came up so fast that
We saw your laughing face

Can't you hear the balls rumble?
Can't you hear the balls rumble?
Miss Marlene
We're still bowling
Every Saturday night

Sometimes on a league night
I catch her scent again
Her hand guiding my hand
We drop the seven-ten

Can't you hear the balls rumble?
Can't you hear the balls rumble
Miss Marlene
We're still bowling
Every Saturday night
Saturday night
Every Saturday night

Every Saturday night

    Does anyone else think of Steely/ The Don when they see a pic of the painting Nighthawks- you know, the one in the bar late at night, in 50's America?

    ドナルド3部作は、終わってしまいましたが、新た成るアルバムとしては相棒であるウォルター・ベッカー亡き作品としては、全体的に物足りなさを感じさせます。

    RIP dearest Walter Becker and I really really get into my Dearest Donald Fagen dearest to my heart ❤️ and my voice is identical to his. Yes I am normally Lighest Blonde but right now I am Chocolate Brown little incognito I am also growing it back as long as I can. I love my hair as long as possible and then I will put it back Blonde but all in good time. Not too many friends know me without my Blonde hair. Love this new music 🎶 I really really have to catch up with your new music 🎶 it has great harmonies and seems to flow very very well

    This song is loosely inspired by pro bowler Kelly Kulick, the 2007 queens champion (and hence the first line of the song.)

    You could be right. Stand out track deffo. Good point mate.

  9. P.... S....

    Im imaging a very stylized video with thin sharp faced young bowlers all lined up evenly rushing the lanes releasing the balls one after another, deep bends, shiny balls shooting towards the pins. Lots of neons and blues. As for the cab scene i always see that Cars Candy O face with a big red lipstick smile.

  10. C.... S....

    This song makes me wanna hit the lanes! Insanely good!

  11. J.... S....

    Dear Donald Fagen, I'm 52, and I've been enjoying your music for something like 35 years by now. It seems I can't get enough of your solo and Stelly Dan songs.
    This one is a nice gift to a fan : Marlene is my love's name. Thank you very much for the joy all those years.

    Donald Fagen is amazing and Walter Becker is amazing its like having the best of both worlds.

  23. N.... X....

    Donald Fagen. Walter Becker. The collaboration that is Steely Dan. Genius work. Advanced to the EXTREME of GENIUS, that is. Light years. Another galaxy. But you'd NEVER feel LOST in space.
    And, that sort of thing.
