Lyrical Response

[WhoTom]

I was in the kitchen,
Seamus (that's the dog) was outside
Well, I was in the kitchen,
Seamus, my old hound, was outside
Well, the sun was sinkin' slowly
But my old hound just sat right down and cried

[Bill from NYC]

I'm on the outside looking in,

An' I wanna be, An' I wanna be back on the inside, with you.

You are with somebody new,

And I don't know what to do,

'cause I'm still in love with you (in love with you).

[Gray Beard]

Inside outside, leave me alone
Inside outside, nowhere is home

Inside outside, where have I been?
Out of my brain on the five fifteen

Out of my brain on the train
Out of my brain on the train
On a raft in the quarry
Slowly sinking
Back of a lorry
Holy hitching
Dreadfully sorry
Apple scrumping
Born in the war
Birthday punching

[WhoTom]

The lunatic is in my head
The lunatic is in my head
You raise the blade, you make the change
You re-arrange me 'til I'm sane
You lock the door
And throw away the key
There's someone in my head but it's not me

 

[SinceThe70s]

Lunatic Fringe
I know you're out there
You're in hiding
And you hold your meetings
I can hear you coming
And I know what you're after
We're wise to you this time
Let you kill the laughter

[Gray Beard]

Chicks and ducks and geese better scurry
When I take you out in the surrey,
When I take you out in the surrey with the fringe on top!

 

Watch that fringe and see how it flutters
When I drive them high steppin' strutters.
Nosey pokes'll peek thru' their shutters and their eyes will pop!

 

The wheels are yeller, the upholstery's brown,
The dashboard's genuine leather,
With isinglass curtains y' can roll right down,
In case there's a change in the weather.

[Bill from NYC]

You
Can dress in pink and blue just like a child
And in a yellow taxi turn to me and smile
We'll be there in just a while
If you follow me

Me babe, steppin' out
Into the night
Into the light
You babe, steppin' out
Into the night
Into the light

And I raise my head and stare

Into the eyes of a stranger

I've always known that the mirror never lies

Was about to sing along.

[WhoTom]

Late last night
I heard the screen door slam
And a big yellow taxi
Took away my old man

Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got
'Til it's gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot

[Gray Beard]

She's gone, she's gone 
I better learn how to face it
She's gone, she's gone 
I'd pay the devil to replace her
She's gone, and she's gone
Oh why, what went wrong?

[PastaJoe]

She's gone
Out of my life
I was wrong
I'm to blame
I was so untrue
I can't live without her love

[WhoTom]

She's so respectable
She's so respectable
She's so delectable
She's so respectable
Get out of my life
Don't take my wife
Don't come back

[KD in CA]

She's your Queen-to-be
A Queen-to-be forever
A Queen who'll do whatever
His Highness desires
She's your Queen-to-be
A vision of perfection
An object of affection
To quench your royal fire
Completely free from infection
To be used at your discretion
Waiting only for your direction
Your Queen-to-Beeeeeeeeeeeeee

[Gray Beard]

You are the dancing queen
Young and sweet
Only seventeen
Dancing queen
Feel the beat from the tambourine, oh yeah
You can dance
You can jive
Having the time of your life
Ooh, see that girl
Watch that scene
Digging the dancing queen

[WhoTom]

Well, she was just seventeen
You know what I mean
And the way she looked
Was way beyond compare
So how could I dance with another
Ooh, when I saw her standing there?

 

[The Real Buffalo Joe]

I got lumps in my throat
When I saw her comin' down the aisle
I got the wiggles in my knees
When she looked at me and sweetly smiled

There she is again
Standin' over by the record machine
Looking like a model
On the cover of a magazine
She's too cute to be a minute over seventeen

[SinceThe70s]

She was standing alone over by the jukebox
Like she's something to sell
I said, baby what's the going price?
She told me to go to hell

 

Shot down in flames
Shot down in flames
Ain't it a shame
To be shot down in flames

[Gray Beard]

In the corner of the bar there stands a jukebox
With the best of country music, old and new
You can hear your five selections for a quarter
And somebody else's songs when yours are through

 

I got good Kentucky whiskey on the counter
And my friends around to help me ease the pain
'Til some button-pushing cowboy plays that love song
And here I am just missing you again

 

Please, Mr., please, don't play B-17
It was our song, it was his song, but it's over
Please, Mr., please, if you know what I mean
I don't ever wanna hear that song again

[The Real Buffalo Joe]

They ought to give me the Wurlitzer prize
For all the silver I led slide down the slot
Playing those songs sung blue
Help me remember you
I don't want to get over you

[SinceThe70s]

I paint a picture of the days gone by
When love went blind and you would make me see
I'd stare a lifetime into your eyes
So that I knew that you were there for me
Time after time you there for me

 

Remember yesterday, walking hand in hand
Love letters in the sand, I remember you
Through the sleepless nights through every endless day
I'd want to hear you say, I remember you
