No, I won’t change another thing
I cracked the bell I tried to ring
A scissor runner stole my heart
I realized that ringing a bell is an image that also used in Buffalo Springfield's "Nowadays Clancy Can't Even Sing," written by Neil Young. There's "Who’s puttin’ sponge in the bells I once rung" and "Who’s tryin’ to tune all the bells that he’s rings."
I did a bit of research, but I couldn't find anything that really links the two. Still, I don't think that bell ringing is that common of an image, and these lines are constructed fairly similarly. They all end with some form of "ring," and "Scissor Runner" rhymes "thing" with "ring" like one of the instances of the bell image in "Nowadays Clancy Can't Even Sing":
And who’s all hung up on that happiness thing
Who’s tryin’ to tune all the bells that he’s rings
And who’s in the corner and down on the floor
With pencil and paper just countin’ the score?
Granted, rhyming "thing" with "ring" isn't that unique, but I still think there's something to this. If it isn't a very subtle reference, at least it's an interesting coincidence.
