Concerning David Palmer

They say he oversang it And that he didn't understand the words Was he a heavy drinker or just a fool to do their dirty work? You don't have to be clever, but to reach out you need a little heart And David had a voice not even Fagen could outsmart Me, I like The Dan as much as any other guy But the absence of David, was a knot they never could untie And though I might disagree with a bunch of major dudes I find them easier to admire than to listen to And it's so easy to underestimate a pretty voice All this useless beauty, come on let's go and make some noise! But even Nash Kato had a go at Dirty Work And though he overkilled it, he did it note by note, word by word So, if you come across it, a voice that makes you want to cry Could be someone like David, could be voice like mine Remember every singer is born with an achilles heel We don't care about the song itself, just how it makes you feel
