Lyrical Response

[Gray Beard]

Just one last kiss
Before I walk out the door
I'm gonna hold you tighter
Than I ever did before

 

And I, I never promised you
The things you promised me
And I, I can't justify
The way it's gotta be

 

And the good times are the best times
The bad times fade away
The good times are forever
But now, baby, the last time is today

[WhoTom]

Well I told you once and I told you twice
But ya never listen to my advice
You don't try very hard to please me
With what you know it should be easy
Well this could be the last time
This could be the last time
Maybe the last time
I don't know, oh no, oh no

 

[Bill from NYC]

How can people have no feelings
How can they ignore their friends
Easy to be proud
Easy to say no

 

Especially people who care about strangers
Who care about evil and social injustice
Do you only care about being proud
How about I need a friend, I need a friend

[Gray Beard]

Feelings, nothing more than feelings,
Trying to forget my feelings of love
Teardrops rolling down on my face,
Trying to forget my feelings of love

Feelings, for all my life I'll feel it
I wish I've never met you, girl; you'll never come again

Feelings, wo-o-o feelings,
Wo-o-o, feel you again in my arms
 

[SinceThe70s]

Take me in your arms and rock me, rock me a little while
We all must feel heartache sometimes
Right now, right now I'm feelin' mine

[WhoTom]

I want you to rock me baby, rock me all night long
I want you to rock me baby, rock me all night long
Well I want you to rock me baby, like my back ain't got no bones

 

[Gray Beard]

Tellin' you darlin' we can do it in style
My imagination is drivin' me wild
'Cause the things that you're sayin'
Cuttin' right through me
Way that you're swayin'
Is gonna undo me and I'm

 

So high (you got me movin')
Rock me baby
Roll me away
So high (you got me movin')
Rock me baby
Roll me away

[SinceThe70s]

Did you ever wake up to find
A day that broke up your mind
Destroyed your notion of circular time

 

It's just that demon life has got you in its sway

[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]

Six o'clock already
I was just in the middle of a dream
I was kissin' Valentino
By a crystal blue Italian stream
But I can't be late
'Cause then I guess I just won't get paid
These are the days
When you wish your bed was already made

 

It's just another manic Monday
I wish it was Sunday
'Cause that's my fun day
My I don't have to run day
It's just another manic Monday

[SinceThe70s]

Manic depression is a frustrating mess

[Bill from NYC]

They say misery loves company
We could start a company and make misery

Frustrated, Incorporated
Well I know just what you need
I might just have the thing
I know what you'd pay to see

Put me out of my misery
I'd do it for you, would you do it for me
We will always be busy making misery

[WhoTom]

Finished with my woman 'cause she couldn't help me with my mind
People think I'm insane because I am frowning all the time
All day long I think of things but nothing seems to satisfy
Think I'll lose my mind if I don't find something to pacify
Can you help me, occupy my brain?

[SinceThe70s]

I used to be an A student, I never used to complain
I used to be a truant but I'm still the same
Bad, bad brain, bad, bad brain

 

I used to go to parties I used to drink champagne
Now I'm beginning to feel the strain
Bad, bad, brain

 

I used to be in show biz, I used to have fortune and fame
I used to have pleasure and pain, I used to have a name
Bad, bad brain, bad, bad, brain

[Gray Beard]

Lucky I'm sane after all I've been through
(Everybody say I'm cool, he's cool)
I can't complain but sometimes I still do
Life's been good to me so far

 

I go to parties sometimes until four
It's hard to leave when you can't find the door
It's tough to handle this fortune and fame
Everybody's so different, I haven't changed

[WhoTom]

I wake up on my stomach
with my face between my hands
and crawl along the floor toward the doorway
Jumping to my feet
I try to pull myself together
but I feel it in my knees
and the room begins to spin
and I slip and bump my head and raise a welt
Split open and melt

 

[Bill from NYC]

Abraham and Isaac sitting on a fence
You'd get right to work if you had any sense
You know the one thing we need is a left-hand monkey wrench

 

Gideon come up with his eyes on the floor
Said "you ain't got a hinge, you can't close the door"
Moses stood up a full six foot ten
Said "you can't close the door when the wall's caved in"

Can it be this sad design
Could be the very same
A wooly man without a face
And a beast without a name
Nothin' here but history
Can you see what has been done
Memory rush over me
Now I step into the sun

 

Before the fall when they wrote it on the wall
When there wasn't even any Hollywood
They heard the call
And they wrote it on the wall
For you and me we understood

 

[WhoTom]

When I think back on all the crap I learned in high school
It's a wonder I can think at all
And though my lack of education hasn't hurt me none
I can read the writing on the wall

 

 

[KD in CA]

No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teachers leave those kids alone
Hey teachers, leave those kids alone
All in all you're just another brick in the wall
All in all you're just another brick in the wall
