"these days I sit on cornerstones..."--that's Jackson Browne, "These Days."  I first heard Tom Rush sing that.

"Once a fool had a good part in the play
If it's so would I still be here today
It's quite peculiar in a funny sort of way
They think it's very funny everything I say
Get a load of him, he's so insane
You better get your coat dear
It looks like rain..."

I know where it's from...*S* ;)

Tostadosunidos-I too heard Tom Rush sing that song (along with quite a few of Jackson Browne's songs) back in the 60s.  I kind of like his cover better than the original, though he did alter the words a little, if I recall.

"Don't wanna be a bum, you better chew gum

the pump don't work 'cause the vandals took the handles."
