Lyrical Response

[WhoTom]

I got a little red rooster
Too lazy to crow 'fore day
Well, I got a little red rooster
Too lazy to crow 'fore day
Keep everything in the barnyard
Upset in every way

[Bill from NYC]

In my most secure moments I still can't believe,

I'm spending these moments with you.

And the ground that I'm walking, the air that I breathe,

Are shared at those moments with you.

 

You love for real,

You show the feel,

Of everything that touches you.

[Gray Beard]

When will I see you again?

When will we share precious moments?

Will I have to wait forever?

Will I have to suffer and cry the whole night through?

 

When will I see you again?

When will our hearts beat together?

Are we in love or just friends?

Is this my beginning or is this the end?

[The Real Buffalo Joe]

Ridin' top the floodway on a Friday night,
The landscape's a fine and nat'ral sight.
Just cruisin' slow through the dark of night.
With Precious and Grace ev'rything's all right.

 

Good God Almighty, we was goin' down slow,
Yeah, if we knew just where we had to go.
Cryin', just a flyin' down a put out road
With Precious and Grace in my flathead Ford.

 

So if you're out rollin' late some night,
Yeah, and you need that supernatural delight, I'm talkin' to you, brother,
I know somebody's, they's just out of sight.
Get with Precious and Grace, they gonna treat you right.

[SinceThe70s]

I was feeling kind of ethereal 'cause I'm precious
I had my eye on your imperial you're so precious
Now Howard the duck and Mr Stress both stayed
"Trapped in a world that they never made"
But not me baby I'm too precious
%$#@* off

[WhoTom]

But not me baby, I've got you to save me
Oh, yer so bad, best thing I ever had
In a world gone mad, yer so bad

 

[SinceThe70s]

Your one vice
Is you're too nice
Come around now, can't you see?

 

I want you
All tattooed
I want you bad

[Gray Beard]

She'll be coming round the mountain when she comes
She'll be coming round the mountain when she comes
Coming round the mountain
She'll be coming round the mountain
Coming round the mountain when she comes

[Bill from NYC]

The lock upon my garden gate's a snail, that's what it is.

The lock upon my garden gate's a snail, that's what it is.

First there is a mountain, then there is no mountain, then there is.

First there is a mountain, then there is no mountain, then there is.

[Gugny]

What happened here
As the New York sunset disappeared
I found an empty garden among the flagstones there

 

Who lived here
He must have been a gardener that cared a lot
Who weeded out the tears and grew a good crop

 

And now it all looks strange
It's funny how one insect can damage so much grain

 

And what's it for
This little empty garden by the brownstone door
And in the cracks along the sidewalk nothing grows no more

 

Who lived here
He must have been a gardener that cared a lot
Who weeded out the tears and grew a good crop

 

And we are so amazed, we're crippled and we're dazed
A gardener like that one, no one can replace

 

And I've been knocking
But no one answers
And I've been knocking
Most all the day

Oh, and I've been calling
Oh, hey hey Johnny
Can't you come out to play

[LeviF]

Where are the legs with which ye run?  Hurroo, Hurroo
Where are the legs with which ye run?  Hurroo, Hurroo
Where are the legs with which ye run,

when first you went to carry a gun?
Indeed, your dancing days are done:
Johnny, I hardly knew ye.

[WhoTom]

Dancing days are here again
As the summer evenings grow
I got my flower, I got my power
I got a woman who knows

I said it's alright, you know it's alright
I guess it's all in my heart
You'll be my only, my one and only
Is that the way it should start?

[Gray Beard]

We were so in phase
In our dance hall days
We were cool on craze
When I, you and everyone we knew
Could believe, do and share in what was true

I said, “Dance hall days love”

[SinceThe70s]

To change the mood a little I've been posing down the pub
On seeing my reflection, I'm looking slightly rough
I fancy this, I fancy that, I wanna be so flash
I give a little muscle and I spend a little cash
But all I get is bitter and a nasty little rash
And by the time I'm sober I've forgotten what I've had
And everybody tells me that it's cool to be a cat
Cool for cats (cool for cats)

[The Real Buffalo Joe]

When I look back, boy, I must have been green
Bopping in the country, fishing in a stream
Looking for an answer, trying to find a sign
Until I saw your city lights, honey, I was blind

 

They said, get back, honky cat
Better get back to the woods
Well, I quit those days and my redneck ways
And, oh, the change is gonna do me good

 

You better get back, honky cat
Living in the city ain't where it's at
It's like trying to find gold in a silver mine
It's like trying to drink whiskey from a bottle of wine

[Gray Beard]

Jojo was a man who thought he was a loner
But he knew it wouldn't last
Jojo left his home in Tucson, Arizona
For some California grass

Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged

[Rob's House]

I'm trying to get back to the day

When my miss came running

from the dead end way

I was holding her close in my arms

And my world was doing fine

Fading away, breaking away as I try

To sell her lies

 

[Bill from NYC]

I left home seeking a job that I never did find,

Depressed and downhearted I took to cloud nine.

I'm doin' fine, up here on cloud nine.

Listen, one more time,

I'm doin' fine, up here on cloud nine.

[Gray Beard]

I live in an apartment on the ninety-ninth floor of my block
And I sit at home looking out the window
Imagining the world has stopped
Then in flies a guy who's all dressed up just like a Union Jack
And says, "I've won five pounds if I have his kind of detergent pack"

I said, "hey, you, get off of my cloud
Hey, you, get off of my cloud
Hey, you, get off of my cloud
Don't hang around 'cause two's a crowd
On my cloud, baby"

[WhoTom]

And if the cloud bursts thunder in your ear
You shout and no one seems to hear
And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon
