Lyrical Response

[PastaJoe]

Open up the window, let some air into this room
I think I'm almost chokin' from the smell of stale perfume
And that cigarette you're smokin' 'bout scare me half to death
Open up the window, sucker, let me catch my breath

Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
That ain't the way to have fun, son
That ain't the way to have fun, son

[muppy]

Some folks are born made to wave the flag
Hoo, they're red, white and blue
And when the band plays "Hail to the chief"
Ooh, they point the cannon at you, Lord

It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no senator's son, son
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no furtunate one, no

[PastaJoe]

Some girls give me money, some girls buy me clothes
Some girls give me jewelry, that I never thought I'd own

Some girls give me diamonds, some girls, heart attacks
Some girls I give all my bread to, I don't ever want it back

[Bill from NYC]

So excuse me forgettin'
But these things I do
You see, I've forgotten
If they're green, or they're blue
Anyway, the thing is
What I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen

[DrW]

The world's a tiny blue-green ark

Afloat in darkest space.

And every creature lives his time

And knows his special place

And each of us is Noah

With a life all in our care

To keep against the darkness

That's flooding everywhere

[PastaJoe]

Guess I got what I deserved
Kept you waiting there too long, my love
All that time, without a word
Did you really think that I'd forget
Or I'd regret
The special love I have for you
My baby blue

[Bill from NYC]

Love is what I got, it's within my reach
And the Sublime style's still straight from Long Beach
It all comes back to you, you're bound to get what you deserve
Try and test that, you're bound to get served
Loves what I got, don't start a riot
You'll feel it when the dance gets hot

You can dance if you want to

You can leave your friends behind

'Cuz your friends don't dance and if they don't dance

Well, they're no friends of mine

The old folks say
That you gotta end your date by ten
If you're out on a date
And you bring it home late it's a sin
There just ain't no excusin'
You know you're gonna lose and never win
I'll say it again

And it's all because
Your mama don't dance
And your daddy don't rock and roll
Your mama don't dance
And your daddy don't rock and roll
When evening rolls around
And it's time to go to town
Where do you go
To rock and roll?

[Bill from NYC]

Old and in the way, that's what I heard them say
They used to heed the words he said, but that was yesterday
Gold will turn to gray and youth will fade away
They'll never care about you, call you old and in the way

[PastaJoe]

Ah, my buddy Jim Bass, he's a-working pumping gas
And he makes two-fifty for an hour
He's got rhythm in his hands as he's tapping on the cans
Sings rock and roll in the shower

Driving over Kanan, singing to his soul
There's people out there turning music into gold

[DrW]

I wanna tell you how it's gonna be
You're gonna give your love to me
I wanna love you night and day
You know my love will not fade away
You know my love will not fade away
Not fade away

 

My love's bigger than a Cadillac
I try to show you but you drive me back
Your love for me has got to be real
You're gonna know just how I feel
Love's real, not fade away
Not fade away

 

[Bill from NYC]

When you say comfort me

To anyone who approaches
Chalking up the hurt we live and you learn

Well, we've both lived long enough to know
That we'd trade it all right now

For just one minute of real love

[PastaJoe]

I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real

The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything

 

What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
