Steely Dan - Things I Miss The Most Lyrics
I don't mind the quiet
Or the lonely nights
I don't miss the funky attitudes
And I don't miss the fights
I lie on the couch 'till suppertime
And that's when I remember the things I miss the most:
The talk
The sex
Somebody to trust
The Audi TT
The house on the Vineyard
The house on the gulf coast
These are the things I miss the most
My sad cuisine
Gettin' in bed and curling up with a girlie magazine
But sometimes in the corner of my eye
I see that adorable ghost
And then ba-boom I remember the things I miss the most
The talk
The sex
Somebody to trust
The comfy Eames chair
The good copper pans
The '54 Strat
These are the things I miss the most
I had a little birdy friend
By morning she was gone
Birdy good-bye
Birdy bye-bye
I'm learning how to meditate
So far so good
I'm building the Andrea Doria out of balsa wood
The days really don't last forever
But it's getting pretty damn close
And that's when I remember the things I miss the most:
The talk
The sex
Somebody to trust
The Audi TT
The house on the Vineyard
The house on the gulf coast
These are the things I miss the most

Steely Dan Things I Miss The Most Comments
Becker and Fagen come from the Upper Echelon
So...this is what a bitter divorce sounds like, LOL.
Every now and again when I listen to this song, my eyes well up.....its so close to my own life
Ditto...
I don’t understand how anyone can dislike this track. For me it’s my favourite track on the album. I mixed an extended version of it some 8 years ago. I must go listen to it again. This one of the tracks I had on repeat while driving.
Everything must go! ! If we are into it , we´ll reach that point.
Masterpiece
I dig this song. I can relate to all the lyrics except when he gets to the The Audi TT
, the house on the Vineyard or the house on the Gulf Coast. THAT I can't relate to but it's from his own perspective I suppose being a rich dude. He comes across sounding like a rich fucking little crybaby. Booo fucking hoo.
I hear this as a hilarious/disturbing illustration of the shallowness of that type of person. The narrator's list starts with real things (communication, physical union, safety in trusting another human) and goes on in-what should be-order of importance. But his "important" things are mere "things." The narrator is incredibly superficial and left exactly where he should be: alone. It's genius. But that's just my interpretation and I could be totally wrong. Great song (and album) either way!
The talk The sex The afterglow these are the things I miss the most! ♡♡♡♡
I burst out laughing when he talked about the balsa wood boat. Lol
LYRICS:
I don't mind the quiet
Or the lonely nights
I don't miss the funky attitudes
And I don't miss the fights
I lie on the couch 'til suppertime
And hunker down and read the Post
And that's when I remember the things I miss the most:
The talk
The sex
Somebody to trust
The Audi TT
The house on the Vineyard
The house on the Gulf Coast
These are the things I miss the most
I kinda like frying up
My sad cuisine
Getting in bed and curling up with a girlie magazine
Sometimes in the corner of my eye
I see that adorable ghost
And then ba-boom I remember the things I miss the most
The talk
The sex
Somebody to trust
The comfy Eames chair
The good copper pans
The '54 Strat
These are the things I miss the most
I had a little birdy friend
By morning she was gone
Birdie good-bye
Birdie bye bye
I'm learning how to meditate
So far so good
I'm building the Andrea Doria out of balsa wood
The days really don't last forever
But it's getting pretty damn close
And that's when I remember the things I miss the most
The talk
The sex
Somebody to trust
The Audi TT
The house on the Vineyard
The house on the Gulf Coast
These are the things I miss the most
ah, what a pleasant sound...
Steely Dan knows how to make art from loss.
One of their best. Lyrics are fantastic.
Looking back on life. Reflecting. Then a Steely Dan lyric. Things I miss the most? The good copper pan!! Ha ha.
"The 54' Strat" as well, I'd miss that too!
Awesome.
Keep listening, folks. You're in for one helluv an experience!
Wow, this is STEELY DAN. A tune I'll be singing forever
One of their best songs.
Am a fan of SD but only hearing this now. Impressed, it's gonna be a favourite.
