Steely Dan - Only A Fool Would Say That Lyrics

If it wasn't for Steely Dan I wouldn't know where I fit in!

Steely Dan amazes!

This ones for you my Sweet Sunshine. Sitting on Papa's leg eating popcorn. We'll have that again one happy night in Heaven. I miss you my Little One. Papa loves you.

you can tell this is a denny dias solo

Thanks jschlatt

araki has good taste in music

That octave guitar solo woah

Bliss. The supreme band of all time.

Some political philosophy from the dan

My favorite song from this album, this was one of my very first cassettes....thank you Daddy and can't wait to see you again on the other side🤘❤️

Steely Dan concert videos from September, 2019: https://youtu.be/m6gELZ5WX20

Only a fool would say that....

Great memories

Talkin bout a world where all is free it just couldn't be...is right

thanks schlatt. this is a gem

Let's dance the "SALSA"!!!!

Can’t believe all the great music on one album.

Even more incredible is that it was their first album!

Cha cha!

The Beatles are number one for me. Steely Dan is EASILY number 2. Number 1A very possibly

Sorry, but Steely Dan had no equal.

Donald Fagen has a perfect voice and perfect phrasing for Steely Dan songs.

71 fools disagree.

I'm 28 and steely dan are up there with my all time favourites . Good music is good music it doesn't matter how old I am

I am the liquor

Solamente un tonto diciera eso

A great title for a quote book.

47 years ago,what a brilliant album this still is!

Jjajh aga hqj

One of Steely Dan best Songs

I like this song as many times people say foolish things because they talk without previously thinking. So to avoid embarrasment one should think first and talk later.

-hmmm, ''only a fool would...'' i don't know what else to add to the title of the song, any ideas? gray fox?
- ''only a fool would trust his life to a weapon.''
- ... only a fool would... say that. that's it.

Great , Great song. Brings back golden memories from the days when the LSD was good and the weed was inexpensive and we all shared love and good music. Solamente un tonto dice eso ! Paz y Amor

Listen up Dems.

Truth!!!

Saw Donald at the Venetian in May, my husband and I can’t get enough. Pure genius he is! Hail lord Donald.

Steely Dan are like what was said of Emily Dickinson "she is everything and nothing"

It's ageless music.

I Pity the FOOL! Love Steely Dan, my ALL TIME Favorite band.

'you do his 9 to 5, drag yourself home half alive' = my life.

Un donte solemte

I love this song! Great songs like this one are always relevant. This could be Donald Trumps theme song right now!

Summer song for sure

This was David Leon's favorite song to play at the legion. RIP Compa

One of my bestfriends is moving soon, and she loves steely Dan. I'm gonna miss you chloe, but have fun in Los Angeles. :(

What does he say at the end? Is that Spanish?

Yes, the Spanish translation of "only a fool would say that"

Only the Dan could so effortlessly blend pleasant, complex music with bleak, cynical lyrics

When God made Steely Dan he broke the mold

This song has existed since 27 years before I was born and I just now find it?

It seems to kick into gear but the tempo really doesn't change, neat.

48 Dislikes!!, what?

perfect is an understatement I guess

If I could define this song in one word I would say: "Brazil".

23 here and been listening for over 18 years! Born after my time for sure..

Shades of 1990 Good music steeley

Perfect!

Perfection in three minutes.

I hope Bernie and AOC are listening

Carlos Santana should play this one- would be beautiful.

Oh damn that'd be hot!

@HELLFISH42 The lyrics don't suit his brand though.

@mikebott true

Then Donald Trump said it at one point or another

I saw Donald Fagen at Webley Stadium a few days ago. Still as lively and cool as ever!

me too BatHunter. (wembley arena tho?) Anyway he's an all-time great songwriter and it was sensationally good eh?

Wish this was longer. Maybe the song length is an allegory for life

*John Lennon has left the chat*

one of the first songs that introduced me to this fantastic band

Steely Dan...legends!

I think Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez just found her new theme song.

As a Democrat who loves AOC.. that is funny

Only a fool would say that, until I became a fool

Or some 1 with fuck all to lose.

So mellow!

43 people are fools.

life in the 70’s wouldn’t of been the same without Steely Dan ✌️RIP Walter Becker 🙏🏻

This song is too short.....just want it to last forever 💔

Steely DanOnly a Fool Would Say That
A world become one
Of salads and sun
Only a fool would say that
A boy with a plan
A natural man
Wearing a white stetson hat
Unhand that gun begone
There's no one to fire upon
If he's holding it high
He's telling a lie I heard it was you
Talkin' 'bout a world
Where all is free
It just couldn't be
And only a fool would say that The man in the street
Draggin' his feet
Don't want to hear the bad news
Imagine your face
There is his place
Standing inside his brown shoes
You do his nine to five
Drag yourself home half alive
And there on the screen
A man with a dream I heard it was you
Talkin' 'bout a world
Where all… I heard it was you
Talkin' 'bout a world
Where all is free
It just couldn't be
And only a fool would say that Anybody on the street
Has murder in his eyes
You feel no pain
And you're younger
Then you realize I heard it was you
Talkin' 'bout a world
Where all is free
It just couldn't be
And only a fool would say that Songwriters: Donald Jay Fagen / Walter Carl BeckerOnly a Fool Would Say That lyrics © Universal Music Publishing Group

38 people are fools

When I want sophisticated, well written, well played music like no other, I listen to the Dan

A world become one
Of salads and sun
Only a fool would say that
A boy with a plan
A natural man
Wearing a white stetson hat
Unhand that gun begone
There's no one to fire upon
If he's holding it high
He's telling a lie
I heard it was you
Talkin' 'bout a world
Where all is free
It just couldn't be
And only a fool would say that
The man in the street
Draggin' his feet
Don't want to hear the bad news
Imagine your face
There is his place
Standing inside his brown shoes
You do his nine to five
Drag yourself home half alive
And there on the screen
A man with a dream
I heard it was you
Talkin' 'bout a world
Where all is free
It just couldn't be
And only a fool would say that
Anybody on the street
Has murder in his eyes
You feel no pain
And you're younger
Then you realize
I heard it was you
Talkin' 'bout a world
Where all is free
It just couldn't be
And only a fool would say that

19yrs. 28/10/2018

Cant buy a thrill ages like fine wine, it's over 45 years old, but damn this album just gets better the older I get!

great track , great album

#inzane_johnny brought me here

Great unreplicable music.

'i hear it was you
talking about a world where all is free
it just couldn't be
and only a fool would say that.'
Still relevant - and crazy - after all these years...

When you listen to the album you get into the groove then all of a sudden they play this song way out left field but it works so cool.

Pure classic music

This is a godsend

Great tune...

This is why STEELY DAN is the best fusion band that pulled off multiple genre's sound in one complete song and has a deep message within the lyrics.
They have Latin Flavor here
along with a smooth delivery of thought provoking lyrical content.
I rest my case!!! PEACE

Harmonies flowing flawless and seamlessly, a guitar giving a latin rock flavor, lyrics telling us how the dream was over in 1972. How can someone not love this masterpiece?

I fuckin love Steely Dan's lyrics. They're not melodramatic or indulgent, they're simply steady and tell it like it is. It's like their always saying "Slow down, dummy. You're not as smart as you think you are but you're also not as dumb as you think you are. Just relax, man."

One of my all time favorite album.
