Lyrical Response

[SinceThe70s]

Coast to coast, LA to Chicago, western male
Across the north and south, to Key Largo, love for sale

 

Smooth operator, smooth operator

[Another Fan]

Please operator
See what you can do
I dialed the right number
But I still couldn't get through
Could you just check the line
Just one more time, if you can
I'm pretty sure her phone wouldn't be answered by no man

[Buffalophil1948]

He keeps hanging up. 

Is there supposed to be anyone there but your wife?

He keeps hanging up

[SinceThe70s]

Hello, how are you?
Have you been alright through all those lonely
Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely nights?
That's what I'd say, I'd tell you everything
If you pick up that telephone,

[Gray Beard]

Good morning mister sunshine, you brighten up my day
Come sit beside me in your way
I see you every morning, outside the restaurants
The music plays so nonchalant

 

Lonely days, lonely nights.
Where would I be without my woman?

[Bill from NYC]

Nights in white satin,

Never reaching the end,

Letters I've written,

Never meaning to send.

 

[WhoTom]

I took a moment from my day
And wrapped it up in things you say
And mailed it off to your address
You'll get it pretty soon unless

The packaging begins to break
And all the points I tried to make
Are tossed with thoughts into a bin
And time leaks out my life leaks in

 

[Gray Beard]

Last night as I got home, about a half past ten
There was the woman I thought I knew, in the arms of another man
I kept my cool, I ain't no fool, let me tell you what happened then
I packed some clothes and I walked out, and I ain't going back again

 

So take a letter Maria, address it to my wife
Say I won't be coming home, gonna start a new life

[The Real Buffalo Joe]

Came in last night about a half past ten
That woman of mine she wouldn't let me in
Move it on over (move it on over)
Move it on over (move it on over)
Move over little dog cause a big dog's movin in

[WhoTom]

My life's in jeopardy
Murdered in cold blood is what I'm gonna be
I ain't been home since Friday night and now my wife
Is comin' after me

 

[Gray Beard]

You're running me around
Well you can take it as a warning
Or take it anyway you like
It's the lightning, not the thunder
You never know where it's gonna strike

Our love's in jeopardy

[PastaJoe]

I don't want to lose you, this good thing
That I got 'cause if I do
I will surely
Surely lose a lot
'Cause your love is better
Than any love I know

 

It's like thunder, lightning
The way you love me is frightening
You better knock, knock on wood, baby

[WhoTom]

I once had a girl
Or should I say she once had me
She showed me her room
Isn't it good Norwegian wood?

[Gray Beard]

When she's dancing 'neath the starry sky
Ooh, she'll make you flip
(Here she comes again)
When she's dancing 'neath the starry sky
I kinda like the way she dips

 

She's my best friend's girl
She's my best friend's girl
But she used to be mine

[Bill from NYC]

Cold wind ripping down the alley at dawn and the morning paper flies.

Dead man lying by the side of the road with the daylight in his eyes.

 

Don't let it bring you down,

It's only castles burning.

Find someone who's turning,

And you will come around.

 

 

 

 

What a GREAT album!

[The Real Buffalo Joe]

He said he'd seen his lady being fooled with
By another man
She was down and he was up
Had a gun in his hand
Bullets started flying everywhere
People start to scream
Dead man lyin' on the ground
With a hole in his body where his life had been
But it was all in the name of liberty
All in the name of liberty
I got to be free

 

Jailbreak!

[WhoTom]

Well if they freed me from this prison, if that railroad train was mine
I bet I'd move it on a little farther down the line
Far from Folsom Prison, that's where I want to stay
And I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away.

 

[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

[Gray Beard]

Poor little robin
Walkin', walkin', walkin' to Missouri
He can't afford to fly.
Got a penny for a Poor little robin
Walkin' walkin' walkin' to Missouri
Got a teardrop in his eye.

[SinceThe70s]

But, if I stayed here with you, girl
Things just couldn't be the same
Cause I'm as free as a bird now
And this bird you can not change
