Greatest Hangover Songs
« on: October 28, 2005, 11:08:00 pm »
Inspired by Bearman's Bats thread, I was thinking that The Verlaines' "It Was" (from their criminally ignored 1990 record 'Some Disenchanted Evening') has got to be one of the greatest 'morning after' songs ever waxed. But there must be others...right?

hands down, without a question:
 
 "sunday morning coming down" -- johnny cash (written by kris kristofferson)
 
 Well, I woke up Sunday morning
 With no way to hold my head that didn't hurt.
 And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad,
 So I had one more for dessert.
 Then I fumbled in my closet through my clothes
 And found my cleanest dirty shirt.
 Then I washed my face and combed my hair
 And stumbled down the stairs to meet the day.
 
 I'd smoked my mind the night before
 With cigarettes and songs I'd been picking.
 But I lit my first and watched a small kid
 Playing with a can that he was kicking.
 Then I walked across the street
 And caught the Sunday smell of someone frying chicken.
 And Lord, it took me back to something that I'd lost
 Somewhere, somehow along the way.
 
 On a Sunday morning sidewalk,
 I'm wishing, Lord, that I was stoned.
 'Cause there's something in a Sunday
 That makes a body feel alone.
 And there's nothing short a' dying
 That's half as lonesome as the sound
 Of the sleeping city sidewalk
 And Sunday morning coming down.
 
 In the park I saw a daddy
 With a laughing little girl that he was swinging.
 And I stopped beside a Sunday school
 And listened to the songs they were singing.
 Then I headed down the street,
 And somewhere far away a lonely bell was ringing,
 And it echoed through the canyon
 Like the disappearing dreams of yesterday.
 
 On a Sunday morning sidewalk,
 I'm wishing, Lord, that I was stoned.
 'Cause there's something in a Sunday
 That makes a body feel alone.
 And there's nothing short a' dying
 That's half as lonesome as the sound
 Of the sleeping city sidewalk
 And Sunday morning coming down.
