"Good Old Desk" Harry Nilsson

SOAPSTone the song. What is he talking about?

S-God
O-a time in which the speaker felt that he could rely on God
A-people who found comfort in more fancy things
P-to convey how important and comforting something simple but sturdy can be
S-someone who appreciates God
Tone-happy, carefree, grateful

Overall, the speaker is conveying that God is sturdy and simple and provides a net of sorts upon which he can fall. He doesn't think that material goods or fancy things can provide as much of a sense of comfort as his faith can.

1. "It's a pleasure to see it's waiting there for me to keep my hopes alive."
2. "My old desk never needs a rest."
3. "Such a comfort to know, it's dependable and slow, but it's always there."
