Lyrical Response

[muppy]

We all came out to Montreux
On the Lake Geneva shoreline
To make records with a mobile, yeah
We didn't have much time now

 

Frank Zappa and the Mothers
Were at the best place around
But some stupid with a flare gun
Burned the place to the ground

 

Smoke on the water, a fire in the sky
(Smoke) on the water, you guys are great

[WhoTom]

Down in Joe's Garage
We didn't have no dope or LSD
But a coupla quarts o' beer
Would fix it so the intonation
Would not offend yer ear

[The Real Buffalo Joe]

… Sure does like his Falstaff beer
He likes to chase it down with that Wild Turkey liquor
He drives a fifty-seven GMC pickup truck
Got a gun rack, "Goat ropers needs love, too" sticker

 

… And it's up against the wall Redneck Mothers
Mother, who has raised her son so well
He's thirty-four and drinking in a honky tonk
Just kicking hippies asses and raising hell

Mother do you think they'll drop the bomb

Mother do you think they'll like the song

Mother do you think they'll try to break my balls

Ooooh aah, Mother should I build a wall

[Bill from NYC]

Have you seen your mother baby, standing in the shadow?
Have you had another baby, standing in the shadow?
I'm glad I opened your eyes
The have-nots would have tried to freeze you in ice

[DD4Bills]

In your eyes, the light, the heat
In your eyes, I am complete
In your eyes, I see the doorway
In your eyes, to a thousand churches
In your eyes, the resolution
In your eyes, of all the fruitless searches
In your eyes
In your eyes, oh, I see the light and the heat

[muppy]

She could say in her voice, in her way that she love me
With her eyes, with her smile, with her belt, with her hands, with her money
I am the thesis of her prayers
Her nieces and her nephews are just pieces of the layers
Only ones she love as much as me is Jesus Christ and Taylor
I got a future so I'm singing for my grandma
You singing too, but your grandma ain't my grandma
Mine's is hand made, pan fried, sun dried
South side, and beat the devil by a landslide
Praying with her hands tied, president of my fan club
Stand tall, something told me I should bring my butt to church

[WhoTom]

Out of college, money spent
See no future, pay no rent
All the money's gone, nowhere to go

[muppy]

Headlights glowing like the sun
All revved up with nowhere to run
Uh-oh, silver, cream, and gold
All dressed up with nowhere to go
'Cause I'm
Dressed up with nowhere to go, whoo

[cwater10]

There's no one left to take the lead
But I tell you and you can see
We're closer now than light years to go
Pick up here and chase the ride
The river empties to the tide
Fall into the ocean

[WhoTom]

Oh, let me flow into the ocean
Yeah, let me get back to the sea
Let me be stormy and let me be calm
Let the tide in, and set me free

[cwater10]

Or is it gonna take for ever and ever
Let it go (let it go)
Let it go
Let it flow thru you
Let it go
Let it flow live a river
Let it go
Let it flow thru you

[PastaJoe]

It's always tease tease tease
You're happy when I'm on my knees
One day is fine and next is black
So if you want me off your back
Well come on and let me know
Should I stay or should I go?

[DD4Bills]

If you could read my mind, love
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old time movie
'Bout a ghost from a wishing well
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet
You know that ghost is me
And I will never be set free
As long as I am a ghost, you can't see

 

(RIP Gordon Lightfoot)

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'm shufflin' thru the Texas sand
But my head's in Mississippi
I'm shufflin' thru the Texas sand
But my head's in Mississippi
The blues has got a hold of me
I believe I'm gettin' dizzy

[Bill from NYC]

Oh, I could hide 'neath the wings
Of the bluebird as she sings
The six o'clock alarm would never ring
But it rings, and I rise
Wipe the sleep out of my eyes
My shavin' razor's cold and it stings

 

Cheer up, sleepy Jean
Oh, what can it mean
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen?

[PastaJoe]

Rainy day lovers don't lie when they tell you, they've been down there too
Rainy day people don't mind if you're cryin' a tear or two.
Rainy day people always seem to know when you're feeling blue
High stepping strutters who land in the gutters sometimes need one too
Take it or leave it, or try to believe it
If you've been down too long
Rainy day lovers don't hide love inside they just pass it on
Rainy day lovers don't hide love inside they just pass it on

[cwater10]

Once a fool had a good part in the play
If it's so would I still be here today
It's quite peculiar in a funny sort of way
They think it's very funny everything I say
Get a load of him, he's so insane
You better get your coat dear
It looks like rain, yeah

[Bill from NYC]

Awoke today, felt your side of the bed;
The covers were still warm where you been layin'.
You were gone, oh gone, my heart was filled with dread;
You might not be sleeping here again.

But it's all right cause I love you, and that's not going to change.
Run me around and make me hurt again and again.
But I'll still sing you love songs, written in the letters of your name.
Brave the storm to come, oh it surely looks like rain
