Lyrical Response

[Bill from NYC]

The wind in the willows played "Tea For Two," 

The sky was yellow and the sun was blue.

Strangers stopping strangers,

just to shake their hand.

Everybody's playing, in the Heart of Gold Band,

Heart of Gold Band.

[PastaJoe]

I wanna live, I wanna give
I've been a miner for a heart of gold
It's these expressions I never give
That keeps me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old

 

Keep me searching for a Heart of gold
And I'm getting old

[WhoTom]

And I know
Well, if she had me back again
Oh, I would never make her sad
I've got a heart full of soul

[Gray Beard]

Coming to you on a dusty road
Good loving, I got a truck load
And when you get it, you got something
Don't worry, 'cause I'm coming

I'm a soul man

[SinceThe70s]

You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town

[Gray Beard]

Don't cry daddy
Daddy, please don't cry
Daddy, you've still got me and little Tommy
Together we'll find a brand new mommy
Daddy, daddy, please laugh again
Daddy ride us on your back again
Oh, daddy, please don't cry

[WhoTom]

Well I taught that weeping willow how to cry cry cry,
Taught the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky.
Tears I cried for that woman are gonna flood you big river,
And I'm a gonna sit right here until I die.

 

[PastaJoe]

You told me you love me
Why did you leave me all alone
Now you tell me you need me
When you call me on the phone
Girl, I refuse
You must have me confused with some other guy
The bridges were burned
Now it's your turn, to cry

 

Cry me a river
Cry me a river
Cry me a river
Cry me a river

[Gray Beard]

Don't pull your love out on me baby 
If you do then I think that maybe 
I'll just lay me down and cry for a hundred years
Don't pull your love out on me honey
Take my heart, my soul, my money
But don't leave me drownin' in my tears

[Bill from NYC]

Once beneath the stars,

the universe was ours.

Love was all we knew,

and all I knew was you,

I wonder if you know,

I wonder if you think about me once upon a time,

in your wildest dreams.

[Gugny]

Words are flowing out
Like endless rain into a paper cup
They slither while they pass
They slip away across the universe

Pools of sorrow, waves of joy
Are drifting through my opened mind
Possessing and caressing me

If you listened to Hamilton, Joe Frank and Reynolds like Gray Beard does, maybe you would have a cheerier outlook...

 

(Is ‘Joe Frank’ one guy or two?  ?)

Poor poor pitiful me
Poor poor pitiful me
Oh these boys won't let me be
Lord have mercy on me
Woe woe is me

[Bill from NYC]

I said she got the kind of lovin,'

Kissin' and huggin.'

She is mellow,

Glad that I'm her fellow and I know, that she knocks me off my feet,

Have mercy on me!

[WhoTom]

Have mercy, been waitin' for the bus all day
Have mercy, been waitin' for the bus all day
I got my brown paper bag and my take-home pay

 

[The Real Buffalo Joe]

Have mercy on the criminal
Who is running from the law
Are you blind to the winds of change
Don't you hear him any more

Praying Lord you got to help me
I am never gonna sin again
Just take these chains from around my legs
Sweet Jesus I'll be your friend

[Gugny]

Well, I know it wasn't you who held me down
Heaven knows it wasn't you who set me free
So often times it happens that we live our lives in chains
And we never even know we have the key

[The Real Buffalo Joe]

There ain't no good in an evil hearted woman,
And I ain't cut out to be no Jesse James,
And you don't go writing hot checks, down in Mississippi,
And there ain't no good chain gang.

I found a picture of you, oh oh oh oh
It hijacked my world at night
From a place in the past
We've been cast out of, oh oh oh oh
Now we're back in the fight

Yes we're back on the chain gang

[The Real Buffalo Joe]

All day long they work so hard
Till the sun is goin' down
Working on the highways and byways
And wearing, wearing a frown
You hear them moanin' their lives away
Then you hear somebody sa-ay

That's the sound of the men working on the chain ga-a-ang
That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang

 

All day long they're singin'
(Hooh aah) (hooh aah)
(Hooh aah) (hooh aah)
