Lyrical Response

[muppy]

If you want to
I'll make you feel something real just to bother you
Now I got you
Under my thumb like a drug, I will smother you

I'll be the one, be the moon, be the sun
Be the rain in your song, go put that record on
If you want to
I'll be the one, be the tongue that will swallow you

Shame, shame, shame, shame
Shame, shame, shame, shame

[Bill from NYC]

(Shame)
Burning, you keep my whole body yearning
You got me so confused
It's a (shame)
Sometimes I think I'm going insane
But still I want to stay

Wrapped in your arms is where wanna be
(I wanna be) Wanna be
Wrapped in your arms, that's my high (My high)

[WhoTom]

I had a steady job
Hauling items for the mob
I had a steady job
Hauling items for the mob

You know the pay was pathetic
It's a shame those boys couldn't be more copacetic

[ExiledInIllinois]

"...Oh, blame it on midnight
Ooh, shame on the moon
Oh, blame it on midnight
Ooh, shame on the moon
Blame it on midnight
You can blame it on midnight
Shame, shame, shame, shame on the moon
Blame it on midnight
Shame on the moon..."

 

 

[The Real Buffalo Joe]

Hear that lonesome whippoorwill
He sounds too blue to fly
The midnight train is whining low
I'm so lonesome I could cry

[muppy]

Well, since my baby left me
Well, I found a new place to dwell
Well, it's down at the end of Lonely Street
At Heartbreak Hotel
Where I'll be, I'll be so lonely, baby
Well, I'm so lonely
I'll be so lonely, I could die

[without a drought]

 I will rise up early and dress myself up nice
And I will leave the house and check the deadlock twice
And I will find a crowd and blend in for a minute
And I will try to find a little comfort in it
And I will get lonely and gasp for air
And send your name up from my lips like a signal flare

 And I will go downtown, stand in the shadows of the buildings
And button up my coat, trying to stay strong, spirit willing
And I will come back home, maybe call some friends
Maybe paint some pictures, it all depends
And I will get lonely and gasp for air
And look up at the high windows, and see your face up there

[muppy]

And I'll rise up
I'll rise like the day
I'll rise up
I'll rise unafraid
I'll rise up
And I'll do it a thousand times again

 

And I'll rise up
High like the waves
I'll rise up
In spite of the ache
I'll rise up
And I'll do it a thousand times again

 

For you
For you
For you
For you

[SinceThe70s]

Rise
Throw away
The charade of your life
Let the flame of my heart
Burn away
Your complacence tonight

[muppy]

Kick off your shoes and sit right down
Loosen off that pretty french gown
Let me pour you a good long drink
Ooh baby, don't you hesitate 'cause

 

Tonight's the night
It's gonna be alright
'Cause I love you girl
Ain't nobody gonna stop us now

[SinceThe70s]

French girl has a problem
French girl has a problem with the world
She sees it as a black place
A place that wants to strangle her good time
Don't ever get involved with a french girl

[Bills4everNY]

Paris was a place you could hide away

If you felt you didn't fit in

French police wouldn't give me no peace

They claimed I was a nasty person

Down along the Left Bank minding my own

Was knocked down by a human stampede

Got arrested for inciting a peaceful riot

When all I wanted was a cup of tea

I was accused 

I moved on

 

[SinceThe70s]

On the banks of the deep end
Where your soul is your best friend
Searchin' for a reason
To go astray

[muppy]

If I listened long enough to you
I'd find a way to believe that it's all true
Knowing that you lied
Straight-faced while I cried
Still I look to find a reason to believe

[PastaJoe]

Knowing me, knowing you (ah-haa)
There is nothing we can do
Knowing me, knowing you (ah-haa)
We just have to face it, this time we're through
(This time we're through, this time we're through
This time we're through, we're really through)
Breaking up is never easy, I know but I have to go
(I have to go this time
I have to go, this time I know)
Knowing me, knowing you
It's the best I can do

[WhoTom]

I know it's not much

But it's the best I can do
My gift is my song and

This one's for you

[BillsFanNC]

So I always get nostalgic with that song
But in my room it's forced
It has to be in some car across the street
And I always catch the back of your head in a crowd
Just don't turn around
It's never you and you ruin those memories
And those photos are great
If I catch them with the side of my eye
But if I stare, it just turns into you and me
We're just standing there

[muppy]

Well, she was just seventeen, and you know what I mean
And the way she looked was way beyond compare
So how could I dance with another? (Oh)
When I saw her standing there?

[PastaJoe]

I learned the truth at seventeen
That love was meant for beauty queens
And high school girls with clear-skinned smiles
Who married young and then retired

 

The valentines I never knew
The Friday night charades of youth
Were spent on one more beautiful
At seventeen I learned the truth

[muppy]

The clouds never expect it when it rains
But the sea changes colours
But the sea does not change
So with the slow, graceful flow of age
I went forth with an age old desire to please
On the edge of seventeen
