Title: Last Train To Clarksville
Group: The Monkees

[Lyrics]
Take the last train to Clarksville,
And I'll meet you at the station.
You can be be there by four thirty,
'Cause I made your reservation.
Don't be slow, oh, no, no, no!
Oh, no, no, no!

'Cause I'm leavin' in the morning
And I must see you again
We'll have one more night together
'Til the morning brings my train.
And I must go, oh, no, no, no!
Oh, no, no, no!
And I don't know if I'm ever coming home.

Take the last train to Clarksville.
I'll be waiting at the station.
We'll have time for coffee flavored kisses
And a bit of conversation.
Oh... Oh, no, no, no!
Oh, no, no, no!

Take the last train to Clarksville,
Now I must hang up the phone.
I can't hear you in this noisy
Railroad station all alone.
I'm feelin' low. Oh, no, no, no!
Oh, no, no, no!
And I don't know if I'm ever coming home.

Take the last train to Clarksville,
Take the last train to Clarksville,
[repeat and fade]


[Summary of the song]
This song is about a man's mind before he leave to Clarksville. He feel regret to late trying to call a woman who he loves (or loved before?). He want to see her before leaving, and singing his feeling in this song.

[Why I like this song]
I just understand the face of this song, so it might be not real contents, but I like this tempo of song. And it is painful because he couldn't tell his mind to his loving woman, though he want to see and tell. This song is showing how develop his mind, but he couldn't do anything, in very short lyrics.

Title: Sausalito Summer Night
Group: Diesel

Lyrics

We left for Frisco in your Rambler

The radiator running dry

I've never been much of a gambler

and had a preference to fly

You said "forget about the airline,

let's take the car and save the fare."

We blew a gasket on the Grapevine

and eighty dollars on repairs
(chorus)

All aboard (Sausalito summernight)

All aboard

Hot summer night in Sausalito

Can't stand the heat another mile

Let's drop a quarter in the meter

and hit the sidewalk for a while

I'll have a burger and a root beer

You feed the heap some of the grape

A shot of premium to boot, dear

We'll get across the Golden Gate
(chorus)

All aboard (Sausalito summernight)

All aboard (Sausalito summernight)

All aboard (Sausalito summernight)

All aboard
Another mile or two to Frisco
Two hundred gallons from L.A.
The engine's thumping like a disco
We ought to dump her in the bay
(chorus)

All aboard (Sausalito summernight)

All aboard

Cashin' all my checks

Scrapin' out my bank

Spend it on a Rambler

with a whirlpool in the tank
Look out over here

Watch out over there

Can't afford a blowout

'cause we haven't got a spare
(chorus)

All aboard (Sausalito summernight)

All aboard (Sausalito summernight)

All aboard (Sausalito summernight)

All aboard

1. [Summary of the song/at least three sentences] This song is about friends who decide to go on a trip by car (a Rambler is a kind of car). The person who organized the trip said it would be cheaper to travel to Frisco (San Francisco) by car from the LA area. Unfortunately, the travelers have car trouble (blew a gasket on the Grapevine--a north/south freeway that goes through LA). So, the cost of this trip was increased and the singer is worried that they might have a blowout (a violent flat tire).
2. [Why I like this song] I think this song is rather funny. I can say that the lyrics are really wonderful. It is an interesting song about travel. It gives the impression that not all trips turn out the way we want them to! I also love the guitar solo.
