Lay Down Sally and take it like a man! These would be the modernized lyrics, or if written by Lou Reed

I like this song. The lyrics are probably easy to understand, but i'm always having different visions on how the story goes.

I mean with lyrics like "Lay down, Sally, no need to leave so soon. I've been trying all night long just to talk to you" it's hard not to think that the man singing these words to Sally must be a real bore!

Lonwinded rambles that take ages. How often have you needed to lie down just to hear someone talking? Perhaps while reading this?

JP you're such a country man!
