Lyrical Response

[PastaJoe]

Early in the evenin', just about supper time
Over by the courthouse, they're starting to unwind
Four kids on the corner trying to bring you up
Willy picks a tune out and he blows it on the harp

Down on the corner, out in the street
Willy and the Poor Boys are playin'
Bring a nickel, tap your feet

[DD4Bills]

Well, I'm a-standin' on a corner in Winslow, Arizona
Such a fine sight to see
It's a girl, my Lord, in a flatbed Ford
Slowin' down to take a look at me

[PastaJoe]

Arizona, take off your rainbow shades
Arizona, have another look at the world
My my
Arizona, cut off your Indian braids
Arizona, hey won'tcha go my way

[muppy]

I was born long ago
I am the chosen, I'm the one
I have come to save the day
And I won't leave until I'm done
So that's why you've got to try
You got to breath and have some fun
Though I'm not paid, I play this game
And I won't stop until I'm done

But what I really want to know is
Are you gonna go my way?
And I got to, got to know

[PastaJoe]

As I was walking down the street one day
A man came up to me and asked me
What the time was that was on my watch
Yeah, and I said

 

Does anybody really know what time it is?
(Care) does anybody really care?
(About time) you know, I can't imagine why
(Oh no, no) we've all got time enough to cry

[DrW]

I was walking down a dirt road
And the night was coming on fast
I had gone to for some corn meal for our supper
By the time I got to Miss Johnson's house
I knew there was something wrong
By the worried look she had upon her face
I said: Miss Johnson could you tell me
What are you shaking for
She said: Lord, they caught the devil
And they got him in jail in Eudora, Arkansas

[muppy]

Rosanna's daddy had a car she loved to drive
Stole the keys one night and took me for a ride
Turned up the music just as loud as it could go
Blew out the speakers in her daddy's radio

 

She was shakin' (oh-oh-oh-oh)
Snappin' her fingers (oh-oh-oh-oh)
She was movin' round and round (oh-oh-oh-oh)
That girl was shakin' (oh-oh-oh-oh)

[PastaJoe]

All I wanna do when I wake up in the morning is see your eyes
Rosanna, Rosanna
I never thought that a girl like you could ever care for me
Rosanna 

All I wanna do in the middle of the evening is hold you tight
Rosanna, Rosanna
I didn't know you were looking for more than I could ever be

[muppy]

Hey, uh-huh
Hey, uh-huh

 

What I like about you
You hold me tight
Tell me I'm the only one
Wanna come over tonight, yeah

 

Keep on whispering in my ear
Tell me all the things that I wanna hear
'Cause it's true (that's what I like)
That's what I like about you (that's what I like)

[cwater10]

Can you hear what I'm saying
Can you see the parts that I'm playing
 

[PastaJoe]

Did you see me coming
Could you see me a good mile away
Did I talk too much
Did I laugh too loud
Was there something that I didn't say
Can I tell you something
Just in case you don't already know
Well it's crossed my mind
More than once that I
Should have left you a long time ago

[muppy]

Long ago, and, oh, so far away
I fell in love with you before the second show
Your guitar, it sounds so sweet and clear
But you're not really here, it's just the radio

 

[cwater10]

I wonder how you're feeling
There's ringing in my ears
And no one to relate to 'cept the sea

Who can I believe in?
I'm kneeling on the floor
There has to be a force
Who do I phone?

 

The stars are out and shining
But all I really wanna know

 

Oh, won't you show me the way, yeah
I want you to show me the way

[muppy]

Newspapers ask intimate questions, want confessions
They reach into my head to steal the glory of my story
They say I must be one of the wonders, God's own creation
And as far as they see, they can offer no explanation

 

Ooh, I believe
Fate smiled and destiny

[PastaJoe]

Close your eyes
Until the sunlight dies
In your head a thousand stars
Through the darkness you can see a light
And if they steal your life
Your heart is still mine

I want to believe in you and I heard you
Your song, you sing, a truth, there's no other
I want to believe in you, dear

[muppy]

I can see clearly now, the rain is gone
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-shiny day
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-shiny day

[PastaJoe]

From the dark end of the street
To the bright side of the road
We'll be lovers once again
On the bright side of the road

Little darlin', come with me
Won't you help me share my load
From the dark end of the street
To the bright side of the road

[muppy]

Coming out of my cage and I've been doing just fine
Gotta, gotta be down, because I want it all
It started out with a kiss, how did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I'm falling asleep and she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke and she's taking a drag
Now they're going to bed and my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head, but she's touching his

Chest now, he takes off her
Dress now, let me go
And I just can't look, it's killing me
They're taking control

Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies, choking on your alibis
But it's just the price I pay, destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes, 'cause I'm Mr. Brightside

[PastaJoe]

Kind of a drag
When your baby says goodbye
Kind of a drag 
When you feel like you want to cry

Oh oh girl, even though you make me feel blue
I still love you
I'll always love you
Anyway, anyway, anyway

[muppy]

… Well...
You know you make me wanna (shout)
Kick my heels up and (shout)
Throw my hands up and (shout)
Throw my hands back and (shout)
Come on now (shout)
