Words and Music by James Taylor from his 1988 album "Never Die Young." [Chorus] In      line in line It’s all in line My ducks are   all in a row They do not change They do   not    move They have nowhere to    go          [Verse 2] N.C. I’ve been talking to a friend of mine N.C. Talking talking N.C. He says making money’s just a waste of time N.C. He’s a lazy gent N.C. He don’t pay no rent N.C. He’s all bent out of shape from living in a tent [Verse 3] It’s hard to hear what he has to say whoa      Cause everyone around me is just the same way More more Daddy give me some N.C. Give me some more more N.C. Daddy give me some more [Verse 3] Some kind of funny looking money machine it is I must say Saddest looking people that I’ve ever seen Living in a hole body and soul Strung out on the company dole One for a nickel and two for a dime Every time Time may be money But your money won’t buy time         [Chorus] In a line in a line It’s    all in a line My ducks are all in a row       They do not shift They do not move They have nowhere to go        [Verse 4] Me and my flea we were down by the water            Fell in a hole with Superman’s daughter Living alone Chewing on a bone Pretty as homemade sin [Bridge]                              She had to be high by the look in her eye     Her hands were wet and her mouth was dry N.C. The sun on the moon N.C. The sun on the moon N.C. The sun on the moon made a mighty nice light N.C. The sun on the moon made a mighty nice light Sun on the moon my man N.C. Bow wow wow wow honk your horn honk your horn N.C. Bow wow wow wow honk your horn N.C. Bow wow wow wow honk your horn honk your horn N.C. Bow wow wow wow honk your horn [Chorus]                              In a line in a line It’s    all in a line My ducks are all in a row       They do not shift They do not move They have nowhere to go        [Bridge]                              Sometimes I’m hungry I don’t know what to do What do I do? You can take a taco to Katama too [Outro]                                     N.C. The sun on the moon N.C. The sun on the moon The sun on the moon my man The sun on the moon makes a mighty nice light It’s alright we leave it tonight

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson évoque une quête de sens dans un monde où tout semble conforme et figé, comme des canards alignés. L'artiste parle d'une conversation avec un ami désabusé, qui estime que gagner de l'argent est futile, préférant vivre sans attaches. À travers des images poétiques et parfois surréalistes, il aborde des thèmes tels que l'aliénation et la superficialité des interactions humaines. La lumière du soleil sur la lune symbolise peut-être une beauté inattendue dans la complexité de la vie, suggérant qu'il y a quelque chose de magique même dans la monotonie.
