Lyrical Response

[WhoTom]

Sweet Hitchhiker
We could make music at the Greasy King
Sweet Hitchhiker,
Won't you ride on my fast machine?

 

[SinceThe70s]

Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride

[Bill from NYC]

I'd rather be in some dark hollow where the sun don't ever shine
Then to be at home alone and knowin' that you're gone
Would cause me to lose my mind.

Well blow your whistle freight train carry me far on down the track
Well I'm going away, I'm leaving today
I'm goin', but I ain't comin' back.

[PastaJoe]

Loneliness
Is a cloak you wear
A deep shade of blue
Is always there

The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
The moon ain't gonna rise in the sky
The tears are always clouding your eyes
When you're without love, baby

[WhoTom]

Goodnight you moonlight ladies
Rock-a-bye sweet baby James
Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose
Won't you let me go down in my dreams
And rock-a-bye sweet baby James

 

[SinceThe70s]

Still looking for that blue jean, baby queen
Prettiest girl I ever seen
See her shake on the movie screen, Jimmy Dean
(James Dean)

[Gray Beard]

When I wake up in the morning light
I pull on my jeans and I feel all right
I pull my blue jeans on, I pull my old blue jeans on 
I pull my blue jeans on, I pull my old blue jeans on 

It's the weekend, and I know that you're free
So pull on your jeans and come on out with me
I need to have you near me, I need to feel you close to me
I need to have you near me, I need to feel you close to me 
 

[Gugny]

Blue Jean, I just met me a girl named Blue Jean
Blue Jean, she got a camouflaged face and no money
Remember they always let you down when you need 'em
Oh, Blue Jean, is heaven any sweeter than Blue Jean?
She got a police bike
She got a turned-up nose

 

Sometimes I feel like (oh, the whole human race)
Jazzin' for Blue Jean (oh, and when my Blue Jean's blue)
Blue Jean can send me (oh, somebody send me)
Somebody send me (oh, somebody send me)

[WhoTom]

Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waitin' for a train
And I's feelin' near as faded as my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down, just before it rained
It rode us all the way to New Orleans
I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna
I was playin' soft while Bobby sang the blues, yeah
Windshield wipers slappin' time, I was holdin' Bobby's hand in mine
We sang every song that driver knew

[Gray Beard]

Well the midnight headlights blind you on a rainy night
Steep grade up ahead, slow me down, makin' no time,
But I got to keep rollin'
Those windshield wipers slappin' out a tempo,
Keepin' perfect rhythm with the song on the radio,
But I got to keep rollin'

Ooh, I'm drivin' my life away, lookin' for a better way for me
Ooh, I'm drivin' my life away, lookin' for a sunny day

[SinceThe70s]

Midnight at the oasis
Send your camel to bed
Got shadows painting our faces
And traces of romance in our heads

[Gugny]

I woke up in my clothes again this morning
I don't know exactly where I am
And I should heed my doctor's warning
He does the best with me he can

 

He says I suffer from delusion
But I'm so confident I'm sane
It can't be an optical illusion
So how can you explain

Shadows in the rain

[Bill from NYC]

Hung up in a Pennsylvania mining town
Got down to Boston in time for tea
Don't know exactly just what's going down
Better hang around until I see.

She uses beauty like a knife
She cuts me even more, she changes
Right before my eyes into something ugly and sore.

Beauty like a knife
She cuts me even more, she changes
Right before my eyes into something strange and more.

 

[Gray Beard]

Well I heard it on the street
I heard you mighta found somebody new, yeah
Well who is he baby, who is he
And tell me what he means to you, oh yeah

 

I took it all for granted
But how was I to know
That you'd be letting go

 

Now it cuts like a knife
But it feels so right
Yeah, it cuts like a knife
Oh, but it feels so right

[SinceThe70s]

I would have given you all of my heart
But there's someone who's torn it apart
And he's taking just all that I had
But if you want, I'll try to love again
Baby, I'll try to love again, but I know

 

The first cut is the deepest, baby, I know
The first cut is the deepest
But when it comes to being lucky, he's cursed
When it comes to lovin' me, he's worse

[Bill from NYC]

Baby, baby, fallin' in love
I'm fallin' in love again
Baby, baby, fallin' in love
I'm fallin' in love again

I could never see what fate had meant for me
And then you came and made my dreams match reality
Maybe you can see all the things you've meant to me
And my simple fate is at the gate and, girl, you've got the key

[Gray Beard]

Falling in love again
Never wanted to
What am I to do?
Can't help it

 

Love's always been my game
Play it how I may
I was made that way
Can't help it

 

Men cluster to me like moths around a flame
And if their wings burn, I know I'm not to blame

[Bill from NYC]

Just a box of rain

Wind and water

Believe it if you need it

If you don't just pass it on

Sun and shower

Wind and rain

In and out the window like a moth

Before a flame.

Well, I married me a wife, she's been trouble all my life
Run me out in the cold rain and snow

Rain and snow
Run me out in the cold rain and snow

 

[Gray Beard]

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

A pretty woman makes her husband look small
And very often causes his downfall
As soon as he marries her then she starts
To do the things that will break his heart

But if you make an ugly woman your wife
You'll be happy for the rest of your life
An ugly woman cooks meals on time
She'll always give you peace of mind
