Tune Tuesday #3

Tune Tuesday time! This week has a theme: songs with your name in it.
You would think growing up with a name like Delaney, I wouldn't have a song with my name in it, but you're wrong.  Not only is there one song, there are two songs with the name Delaney in them.
The first song is Delaney Talks to Statues by Jimmy Buffet.  And, while I personally do not talk to statues, it's still a pretty exciting song:

Delaney talks to statues
As she dances ’round the pool
She chases cats through roman ruins
And stomps on big toadstools
She speaks a language all her own
That I cannot discover
But she knows I love her so
When I tuck her ’neath the covers

Chorus:
Father, daughter
Down by the water
Shells sink, dreams float
Life’s good on our boat

Delaney draws me pictures
She finger paints the sand
We chase the dogs and hop like frogs
Then I do my bad handstands
She’s growin’ up too fast for me
And askin’ lots of questions
Some I know the answers to
And some I’m lookin’ for suggestions

Chorus:
Father, daughter
Born by the water
Surf’s up, sun’s down
Life in a beach town

And some of the things I’ve seen
Maybe she won’t have to see
But there’s a lot I want to pass along
That was handed down to me

Delaney talks to statues
As she dances ’round the pool
She chases cats through roman ruins
And stomps on big toadstools
She speaks a language all her own
Just a little like her mother
And she knows I love her so
When I tuck her ’neath the covers

Chorus:
Father, daughter
Down by the water
Shells sink, dreams float
Life’s good on our boat
Shells sink, dreams float
Life’s good on our boat 
The second song with my name in it is Miss Delaney by Jacks Mannequin.  This song sort of became my theme song & nickname during high school, although the lyrics didn't exactly apply...

Finally, I'm letting go
Of all my downer thoughts
In no time there'll be
One less sad robot
Looking for a chance to be
Something more than just metal
Now I'm going part time
With a film projectionist
And she's the vinyl queen
From my surfer dream
She likes the beach boys
More than radio metal
And she's so good
But, she's no good for me

Oh, Miss Delaney
What's the matter?
You waited by the window
(You waited by the window)
I waited by the door
Oh, Miss Delaney
Where's your boyfriend?
He isn't up in heaven, so
Why treat him like he's dead

It's not that everyday
Everyday is coming up
With the green grass
But the times pass, when
I think of you
Whenever I'm at dinner

Finally
I've found someone to dull this lonely scene
I don't spend my nights searching for earthquakes (oh)
It's biblical how fucked my sleep can be
But she won't sleep with me

Oh, Miss Delaney
What's the matter?
You waited by the window
I waited by the door
Oh, Miss Delaney
Where's your boyfriend?
He isn't up in heaven, so
Why treat him like he's dead
Like he's dead, like he's dead

From here you can find everything
Arin, I
Would never lie to you

Oh, Miss Delaney (Miss Delaney)
Whatcha sad for?
You waited by the window
And I was kicking down your door
Oh, Miss Delaney
Where's your boyfriend?
(Where's your boyfriend)
He isn't up in heaven, so
Why treat him like he's dead

Oh, Miss Delaney
