Lyrical Response

[WhoTom]

I've had enough of dance halls
I've had enough of pills
I've had enough of street fights
I've seen my share of kills

 

[PastaJoe]

Ev'rywhere I hear the sound of marching, charging feet, boy
'Cause summer's here and the time is right for fighting in the street, boy
But a-what can a poor boy do
'Cept to sing for a rock 'n' roll band
'Cause in sleepy London town
There's just no place for a street fighting man, no

[KD in CA]

Well, we were just another band out of Boston
On the road and tryin' to make ends meet
Playin' all the bars, sleepin' in our cars
And we practiced right on out in the street
No, we didn't have much money
We barely made enough to survive
But when we got up on stage and got ready to play, people came alive

 

Rock and roll band, everybody's waitin'
Getting' crazy, anticipatin'
Love and music, play, play, play, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[SinceThe70s]

A pint of beer and a pretty girl, a pack of Camel Lights
Sweaty little men worship those Southern girls in tights
And we keep on playin' the songs that no one wants to hear
Sweaty little man just shot a hundred-dollar bill without a care
 

And we play from ten to two, but we work from noon to four
Try to make a guarantee, try to make points on the door
No one tells us what to do, no one tells us where to go
One more bottle for this happy hour hero

[Bill from NYC]

If you don't love me
Why don't you tell me
Instead of runnin' around
With all the other guys in town
Can't you see
You're hurtin' me
Don't you care (don't you care), don't you care

[WhoTom]

Lyin', cheatin', hurtin, that's all you seem to do.
Messin' around with every guy in town,
Puttin' me down for thinkin' of someone new.

 

[PastaJoe]

Your cheatin' heart
Will make you weep
You'll cry and cry
And try to sleep

 

But sleep won't come
The whole night through
Your cheatin' heart
Will tell on you

[Bill from NYC]

Like a true true said
All that shines is not gold
Yes, like a true true said
All that shines is not gold
And like the good book said
You got to reap just what you sow

Well you lied, cheated
Oh oh, for so long
Well you lied, cheated
Oh oh, for so long
You just a wrong darn woman
Another queen is on your throne

[SinceThe70s]

You got to reap just what you sow
That old saying is true
You got to reap just what you sow
That old saying is true
Just like you mistreat someone
Someone's going to mistreat you

[WhoTom]

It's all wrong, but it's all right.
The way that you treat me baby.
Once I was strong but I lost the fight.
You won't find a better loser.

 

[SinceThe70s]

He wants to dream like a young man
With the wisdom of an old man
He wants his home and security
He wants to live like a sailor at sea
Beautiful loser, where you gonna fall?
You realize you just can't have it all

[PastaJoe]

Have you heard about the Lonesome Loser?
Beaten by the Queen of Hearts every time.
Have you heard about the Lonesome Loser?
He's a loser but he still keeps on trying.

 

[SinceThe70s]

She's a Killer Queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime

[Bill from NYC]

Well, I beg you on my bended knees
If you'll only listen to my pleas
(Is there anything I can do?)
'Cause I really can't stand it, I'm so in love with you

 

Tell me why you cried, and why you lied to me
Tell me why you cried, and why you lied to me

[WhoTom]

Come on baby,

Baby please.

I'm beggin' you, baby,

I'm on my knees.
Turn on your light,

Let it shine on me.

Turn on your love light,
Let it shine on me.

Let shine, let it shine, let it shine.

 

[Bill from NYC]

Only love

can make it rain

The way the beach is kissed by the sea

Only love

can make it rain

Like the sweat of lovers

laying in the fields

 

Love, reign o'er me

Love, reign o'er me, rain on me, rain on me

[PastaJoe]

Talkin' to myself and feelin' old
Sometimes I'd like to quit
Nothin' ever seems to fit
Hangin' around
Nothin' to do but frown
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down

[Rob's House]

And I'll hang around as long as you will let me
and I never minded standing in the rain
but you don't have to call me darlin, darlin
you never even called me by my name

[RaoulDuke79]

never meant to cause you any sorrow
I never meant to cause you any pain
I only wanted to one time to see you laughing
I only wanted to see you
Laughing in the purple rain

[Bill from NYC]

You showed me how, how to leave myself behind
How to turn down the noise in my mind
Now I haven't got time for the pain
I haven't got room for the pain
I haven't the need for the pain
Not since I've known you
