Lyrical Response

[Gray Beard]

On a rattlesnake speedway in the Utah desert 
I pick up my money and head back into town 
Driving cross the Waynesboro county line 
I got the radio on and I'm just killing time 
Working all day in my daddy's garage 
Driving all night, chasing some mirage 
Pretty soon little girl I'm gonna take charge

The dogs on main street howl
'Cause they understand
If I could take one moment into my hands 
Mister, I ain't a boy, no, I'm a man
And I believe in a promised land

[Bill from NYC]

If I had my choice of matter
I'd would rather be with cats
All engrossed in mental chatter
Showing where your mind is at
While relating to each other
How strong the love can be

By resisting all the good times with each groovy chick we see
I'm a man yes I am and I can't help but love you so
I'm a man yes I am and I can't help but love you so

[PastaJoe]

I'm so sick of running
As fast as I can
Wondering if I'd get there quicker
If I was a man
And I'm so sick of them
Coming at me again
'Cause if I was a man
Then I'd be the man
I'd be the man
I'd be the man

[Gray Beard]

There's a loving in your eyes all the way
If I listen to your lies, would you say 
I'm a man without conviction
I'm a man who doesn't know
How to sell a contradiction 
You come and go, you come and go

[WhoTom]

All you pretty women
Stand in line
I can make love to you baby
In an hour's time
I'm a man
I spell m-a-n, man

 

[KD in CA]

Hi there, how are 'ya?
It's been a long time
Seems like we've come a long way
My, but we learn so slow
And heroes, they come and they go
And leave us behind as if
We're supposed to know why

Why do we give up our hearts to the past?
And why must we grow up so fast?

And all you wishing well fools with your fortunes
Someone should send you a rose
With love from a friend,
It's nice to hear from you again
And the storybook comes to a close
Gone are the ribbons and bows
Things to remember, places to go
Pretty maids all in a row

[Gray Beard]

I didn't know what day it was 
When you walked into the room
I said hello unnoticed
You said goodbye too soon

 

Breezing through the clientele
Spinning yarns that were so lyrical
I really must confess right here
The attraction was purely physical

[Bill from NYC]

I'm going where the sun keeps shining
Through the pouring rain
Going where the weather, suits my clothes

Banking off of the northeast winds
Sailing on a summer breeze
And skipping over the ocean, like a stone

 

[WhoTom]

Going down the road feeling bad, hey hey hey, yeah
Don't wanna be treated this a way

Going where the climate suits my clothes
I'm going where the climate suits my clothes
Going where the climate suits my clothes
Don't wanna be treated this a way

 

[Gray Beard]

I want the world to see
I don't care when it will be
There's no doubt
I wanna go to the sun, everyone
Yeah, you start to look old

Sand and sea, we'll do it endlessly
I will never, turn it away
Well, salty air, seagulls everywhere
I wanna live there one day

[SinceThe70s]

Here by the sea and sand
Nothing ever goes as planned
I just couldn't face going home
It was just a drag on my own
 

They finally threw me out
My mom got drunk on stout
My dad couldn't stand on two feet
As he lectured about morality
 

Now I guess the family's complete
With me hanging 'round on the street
Or here on the beach

[WhoTom]

When I woke up, mom and dad are rolling on the couch.
Rolling numbers, rock and rolling, got my KISS records out.
Mommy's alright, daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird.
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away.

[SinceThe70s]

I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus
Underneath the mistletoe last night
She didn't see me creep
Down the stairs to have a peep
She thought that I was tucked up
In my bedroom, fast asleep

[Gray Beard]

 

Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight

[SinceThe70s]

A-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh

 

In the jungle, the mighty jungle
The lion sleeps tonight

[Gray Beard]

Whoa thought it was a nightmare
Lord it was so true

They told me don't go walking slow
The devil's on the loose

Better run through the jungle

[SinceThe70s]

I really want to see you
Really want to be with you
Really want to see you Lord
But it takes so long, my Lord

My sweet Lord

[PastaJoe]

Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz ?
My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends.
Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends,
So Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz ? 

[Bill from NYC]

'Course I make a little money

Haulin' coal by the ton

But when Sunday rolls around

I'm too tired, for having fun

 

I'm just workin' in the coal mine

Goin' down down down

Workin' in the coal mine

Oops, about to slip down.

[WhoTom]

You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
