Stewart, Rod - I Can't Get Started Lyrics






I've been around the world in a plane
I've settled revolutions in Spain
The North Pole I have charted
But man I can't get started with you
And at the golf course I'm under par
Metro-Goldwyn wants me to star
I've got a house and a show place
But can't get no place with you

You're so supreme
The lyrics I write of you
Dream, dream, day and night of you
Scheme just for the sight of you
Baby but what good dose it do
I've been consulted by Franklin D.
Even Gabel had me to tea
But now I'm broken hearted
Can't get started with you

You're so supreme
The lyrics I write of you
Dream, dream, day and night of you
Scheme just for the sight of you
But what good does it do
I've been consulted by Franklin D.
Even Basic had me to tea
But now I'm broken hearted
Can't get started with you

    I don't think the lyrics need to be updated. I prefer Greta Garbo having me to tea, or at least the Queen.

  19. M.... ....

    I like Rod Stewart's voice. 

  20. B.... ....

    How different opinions can be....

  21. c.... c....

    I suppose i would have to acknowledge that people like rod stewart tom jones and robert williams attempt to sing and vocalise these great standards but the truth is very clear . Not one of them can interpret these songs better than the Giants  of past vocalists ,eg Frank Sinatra Ella Fitzgerald Billie Holiday and Bunny Berrigan,becouse back then you had to excel at your art and rod stewart and his imbecilic reiterations are a primative  attempt to imprevise on the melody ,nice try but no cigar.

    c.... c....

    +conner chalice the only thing wrong with these recordings are the songs itself. Why would someone as great as Stewart sing nonsense pretentious '40s shit could be put down to the recording label J Records trying to cash in on Stewart's name. Good riddance, Stewart dumped singing these shit songs soon as he got a deal with Capitol. Now he'a back to his roots,,singing pure rock and pop stuff...

  22. K.... V....

    To all the other commentators on this song;
    Stop being picky and being clever about the lyric. Who cares.
    This is a gorgeous tune and Rod does it superb justice and it is in our opinion even better than the Bunny Berigan version.
    Lovely!

  23. V.... A....

    This is the best of his American Songbook albums. He has other great performers on each tune. Some sing, others play instruments. Very rich. Obviously, the sax player is the key person here. I wish I had my jacket to tell who it is.

  24. L.... S....

    I don't think so.

  25. J.... C....

    I like his version alright, but he really missed the lyric, "In 1929 I sold short..." What did he sing? "In nineteen ninety nine?" This is supposed to be someone who came out ahead during the great stock market crash of 1929. Sounds like he flubbed the line but never went back in to fix it!

    J.... C....

    jasaco22 I believe that his intentions were to purposely change the lyrics to a more current time. He even mentions having tea with Tina Turner.

  26. M.... I....

    Hay que escuchar este tema de Gershwin por Frank Sinatra en el long play "Sinatra con Cuerdas" para saber lo que es cantar!!

  27. P.... B....

    Inspira a dejarse llevar, y no pensar en nada.
    On en muchas cosas. Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssss.

  28. H.... H....

    Bunny Berigan would be proud!!!
