This one is about how I feel now whenever I see one of those right-wingers on the TV machine, saying the same line of crap that’s been disproven so many times before (or would be by the next morning.)
And I have to give a big Thank You to my beautiful honey, Jane, for a great suggestion for the title. Thank you, honey. I love you.
Enjoy the song. I included two videos on this one. The first is a version with the band singing it live, many years after it was a hit. Note the reaction of Jeff Lynne when they do the fast talking part. The second video below the lyrics appears to be a produced video, lip-synched, with some of the band members dancing around the set while playing their violins and bass fiddles. Kind of cool. I just hope they don’t get blocked two seconds after I post this. 🙂
Yearn to Groan Original Words and Music "Turn to Stone" by Jeff Lynne Additional lyrics by Wayne A. Schneider The talking heads are empty now The lies don’t work no more And so the thoughts are way down low Churning, churning, churning A crowd that knows it lost the fight The a-holes of the hard right Says anything that is a lie To my Blue world I yearn to groan when you are on, I yearn to groan Yearn to groan, when you going off, I can’t look on The lying members of the right The liar that slowly talks 'til dawn Still show up on the tube to fight Burning, burning, burning The dire tweets they type away From them to everywhere they go Show us they have nothing to say To my Blue world I yearn to groan when you are on, I yearn to groan Yearn to groan, when you going off, I can’t look on Yearn to groan, when you are on I yearn to groan Yes, I'm yearning to groan cause you keep coming on Why you keep coming on if I'm yearning to groan? You've been on for so long that I can’t carry on Yes, I'm yearning, I'm yearning, I'm yearning to groan The shouting voices on the mall The foot tap in the stall Are all I hear since you've been on Yearning, yearning, yearning And though I sit here as you hate I yearn to groan, I yearn to groan You will return again some day To my Blue world I yearn to groan when you are on, I yearn to groan Yearn to groan, when you going off, I can’t look on Yearn to groan, when you are on I yearn to groan I yearn to groan when you are on, I yearn to groan Yearn to groan, when you going off, I can’t look on Yearn to groan, when you are on I yearn to groan
