Time: 1:06
Or an expensive stone
But I got a reason to declaim

to speak pompously or bombastically

Songs Featuring “declaim”
The Gloom In The Corner - Requiem
Time: 3:08
That I put into words, lost in a sea of the same
Stories you'll forget once I finish my declaim
Let the tears of God pour down
Teenage Fanclub - Verisimilitude
Time: 1:15
I'm thankful for not overlooking you
Still I need to declaim
I don't need an attitude
Current 93 - At The Blue Gates of Death
Time: 3:35
Eating gingerbread men two ciphers straddle
The stage reclaim declaim and decant
Their moves are pointless their promises echo
Bruce Cockburn - 3 Al Purdy's
Time: 1:40
Me like a breadcrust soaking soup from a bowl
You can call this a rant but I declare, I declaim
Al Purdy's poems are the name of the game
BiSa - Me, Myself & I

Did you think I'll give you
Another chance to do declaim
That me, myself and I
