Lyrical Response

[PastaJoe]

Woke up, fell out of bed
Dragged a comb across my head
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup
And looking up I noticed I was late
Found my coat and grabbed my hat
Made the bus in seconds flat
Made my way upstairs and had a smoke
And everybody spoke and I went into a dream

[Gray Beard]

My building has every convenience
It's gonna make life easy for me
It's gonna be easy to get things done
I will relax along with my loved ones

 

Loved ones, loved ones visit the building
Take the highway, park and come up and see me
I'll be working, working but if you come visit
I'll put down what I'm doing, my friends are important

[WhoTom]

I'm building you a pyramid
With limestone blocks so large
I drag them from the mountain top
You'll need a two car garage

 

And it's the ocean flowing in our veins
Oh, 'cause it's the salt that's in our tears
Oh, 'cause we could have come so very far
Oh, in at least as many years

 

Take the highway through the Great Divide
Take the highway through the Great Divide

[The Real Buffalo Joe]

Well he's a friend of them long-haired hippie type pinko [redacted]
I betcha he's even got a Commie flag
Tacked up on the wall inside of his garage

 

He's a snake in the grass I tell ya guys
He may look dumb but that's just a disguise
He's a mastermind in the ways of espionage

 

They all started lookin' real suspicious at him
And he jumped up an' said just wait a minute Jim
You know he's lyin' I've been livin' here all of my life

 

I'm a faithful follower of Brother John Burch
And I belong to the Antioch Baptist Church
And I ain't even got a garage you can call home and ask my wife

[Bill from NYC]

I told Althea that treachery,

Was tearing me, limb from limb.

Althea told me,

You better cool down boy,

Settle back, easy Jim.

[The Real Buffalo Joe]

Play me the songs about a ramblin' man

Put old Jim Beam in my hand
Cause you know I still love to get drunk and hear country sounds
But don't play Your Cheatin' Heart,
'Cuz that'll tear me all apart,
I'll get whiskey bent and hell bound

 

Yeah old Hank's songs always make me feel low down

[Gray Beard]

Sing us a song, you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us feelin' alright

 

Now John at the bar is a friend of mine
He gets me my drinks for free
And he's quick with a joke or to light up your smoke
But there's someplace that he'd rather be

[WhoTom]

I'm singing this note 'cause it fits in well
With the chords I'm playing
I can't pretend there's any meaning hidden
In the things I'm saying

But I'm in tune
Right in tune
I'm in tune
And I'm gonna tune
Right in on you
Right in on you
Right in on you

 

[The Real Buffalo Joe]

Well I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
Well it goes like this:
The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah

[Gray Beard]

Michael row the boat ashore, hallelujah
Michael row the boat ashore, hallelujah

Sister help to trim the sails, hallelujah
Sister help to trim the sails, hallelujah

Jordan's River is deep and wide, hallelujah
And I've got a home on the other side, hallelujah

The river Jordon is chilly and cold, hallelujah
It chill the body but not the soul, hallelujah

[KD in CA]

Sometimes I dream
That he is me
You've got to see that's how I dream to be
I dream I move, I dream I groove
Like Mike
If I could Be Like Mike
Like Mike
Oh, if I could Be Like Mike
Be Like Mike, Be Like Mike

[Gray Beard]

Yeah, sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear
Sing with me, just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away

Dream on
Dream on
Dream on
Dream until your dreams come true

[WhoTom]

I had too much to dream last night
Too much to dream
I'm not ready to face the light
I had too much to dream
Last night
Last night

[Gray Beard]

Every night I hope and pray
A dream lover will come my way
A girl to hold in my arms
And know the magic of her charms
'Cause I want
A girl
To call
My own
I want a dream lover
So I don't have to dream alone

[PastaJoe]

A candy-colored clown they call the sandman
Tiptoes to my room every night
Just to sprinkle stardust and to whisper
"Go to sleep. Everything is all right."

 

I close my eyes, then I drift away
Into the magic night, I softly say
A silent prayer like dreamers do
Then I fall asleep to dreams, my dreams of you

 

In dreams I walk with you, in dreams I talk to you
In dreams you're mine, all of the time
We're together in dreams, in dreams

[Gray Beard]

Undercover angel
Midnight fantasy
I never had a dream that made sweet love to me
Undercover angel
The answer to my prayer
You made me know that there's a love for me out there

[The Real Buffalo Joe]

If you had not have fallen
Then I would not have found you
Angel flying too close to the ground
And I patched up your broken wing and hung around a while
Trying to keep your spirits up and your fever down

 

I knew someday that you would fly away
For love's the greatest healer to be found
So leave me if you need to, I will still remember
Angel flying too close to the ground

Woke up this morning, started to sneeze
I had a cigarette and a cup of tea
I looked in the mirror what did I see
A nine stone weakling with knobbly knees
I did my knees bend press ups touch my toes
I had another sneeze and I blew my nose
I looked in the mirror at my pigeon chest
I had to put on my clothes because it made me depressed
Surely there must be a way
For me to change the shape I'm in
Dissatisfied is what I am
I want to be a better man

Superman Superman wish I could fly like Superman

 

what other Kinks song had them wish they could be someone else?

 

[Gray Beard]

Life is flowing out my body 
Pain is flowing out with my blood 
The sheets are red and moist where I'm lying 
God in Heaven, teach me how to die 

 

I remember 
We were flying along and hit something in the air 

[SinceThe70s]

In my time of dying, want nobody to mourn
All I want for you to do is take my body home

 

Well, well, well, so I can die easy
