Ok, so yesterday I'm flipping the channels on the TV around and PBS has a tribute to Roger Miller. Now I grew up listening to him, rather my parents listened to him, and I went along for the ride, but I like him and respect him greatly as a song writer. Anyway, they're talking about the song Husbands and Wives and one guy said that Roger still hadn't finished it on the day the studio was booked etc. So around 10 p.m. he comes up with this line:
"A woman and a man
A man and a woman
Some can and some cant and some cant"
Followed by a guitar solo. And everone commented on what a wonderful line it is. I know I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but I just don't see what makes it so great.
Husbands and Wives
(roger miller)
Two broken hearts lonely looking houses
Where nobody lives
Two people each having so much pride inside
Neither side forgives
The angry words spoken in haste
Such a waste of two lives
It’s my belief pride is the cheif cause in the decline
Of the number of husbands and wives
A woman and a man
A man and a woman
Some can and some cant and some cant
Two broken hearts lonely looking houses
Where nobody lives
Two people each having so much pride inside
Neither side forgives
The angry words spoken in haste
Such a waste of two lives
It’s my belief pride is the cheif cause in the decline
