Steve Mardon - Critic's Darling lyrics

rate me

When we go walking in the moonlight, I always see five stars

She came out here from Kansas to check out the local scene

She got a job as a freelance writer for a music magazine

Now she gets all the latest releases before they're even in the store

And she's on the guest list at all the clubs, so they wave her right through the door

I met her down at the Kendall Cafe, we talked about our favorite bands

By the time we got to Commander Cody the two of us were holding hands

And it wasn't long before she gave me much more than a flattering quote

Now I'm a critic's darling and I don't have to play a note

I'm a critic's darling, sounds crazy but it's true

She's tellin' her friends that I'm the one, and that's a pretty good review

Yeah, I'm a critic's darling, in the bookstores and the bars

When we go walking in the moonlight, I always see five stars

When the day is done and we're takin' it easy, she finds some music that fits

She may not have the boxed set, but she's got the greatest hits

She'd slap me if she heard that line and say, “You're such a clever man”

But I don't mind a little criticism, I know she's my biggest fan

I'm a critic's darling, sounds crazy but it's true

She's tellin' her friends that I'm the one, and that's a pretty good review

Yeah, I'm a critic's darling, in the bookstores and the bars

When we go walking in the moonlight, I always see five stars

Always see five stars

Always see five stars
