Lyrical Response

[DD4Bills]

They put a parking lot on a piece of land
When the supermarket used to stand
Before that they put up a bowling alley
On the site that used to be the local pally
That's where the big bands used to come and play
My sister went there on a Saturday
Come dancing
All her boyfriends used to come and call
Why not come dancing, it's only natural

[WhoTom]

Well, the cool breeze came on Tuesday,
And the corn's a bumper crop.
The fields are full of dancing,
Full of singing and romancing,
'Cause the music never stopped.

 

[Figster]

A long, long time ago
I can still remember how that music used to make me smile
And I knew if I had my chance that I could make those people dance
And maybe they'd be happy for a while

[Bill from NYC]

I remember (I remember)
When I used to play shoot 'em up
(Shoot 'em up, bang, bang, baby)
I remember
When I chased the girls and beat 'em up

But I was young and didn't understand
But now I'm a grownup man
I know girls are made for kissing
Never knew what I was missing
Now my life is not the same
My whole world has been rearranged

[WhoTom]

Ain't you the guy who used to set the paces
Riding up in front of a hundred faces
I don't suppose you would remember me
But I used to follow you back in sixty-three

Standin' on your mama's porch
You told me that you'd wait forever
Oh, and when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life

 

Oh, yeah
Back in the summer of '69

[PastaJoe]

It's now or never
Come hold me tight
Kiss me my darling
Be mine tonight
Tomorrow will be too late
It's now or never
My love won't wait

[Figster]

 

Come as you are, as you were

As I want you to be

As a friend, as a friend

As a known enemy

[WhoTom]

The Cisco Kid was a friend of mine
The Cisco Kid was a friend of mine
He drink whiskey, Poncho drink the wine
He drink whiskey, Poncho drink the wine

 

[PastaJoe]

Years may come and go
Here's one thing I know
All my life
You're a friend of mine

[Bill from NYC]

I had some frends but they're gone
Somethin' came and took them away
And from the dusk 'til the dawn
Here is where I'll stay

 

Standing at the end of the road, boys
Waiting for my new friends to come
I don't care if I'm hungry or poor
I'm gonna get me some 

[RaoulDuke79]

I set out running but I take my time
A friend of the Devil is a friend of mine
If I get home before daylight
I just might get some sleep tonight

[PastaJoe]

Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels
Looking back at the years gone by like so many summer fields
In sixty-five I was seventeen and running up one-on-one
I don't know where I'm running now, I'm just running on

[SinceThe70s]

Telephone is ringing
You've got me on the run
I'm driving in my car now
I got you under my wheels

[RaoulDuke79]

I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go

[SinceThe70s]

It's not easy puttin' on a smile
You're alone, lost and found
She waits at home just to love him
Through the night thinkin'
He's been gone so long now
Is he coming home
He's been gone so long now, oh!

Merry-go-round and round 

[Bill from NYC]

The black-throated, wind keeps on pouring in
With its words of a lie that could almost be true
Ah, Mother American Night, here comes the light
Goin' around, that's what I'm gonna do

 

Goin' back home that's what I'm gonna do
Turnin' around, that's what I'm gonna do
Goin' back home that's what I'm gonna do
You've done better by me than I've done by you

[WhoTom]

Chestnut brown canary
Ruby-throated sparrow
Sing a song, don't be long
Thrill me to the marrow

[SinceThe70s]

Over the wall, I'm out in the open
Back on the right track, oh, I'm feeling no pain
You took a sparrow, let it fly like a eagle
Well, I can see long ways, long ways, long ways
I think I can love again
 

Out of the rain, out of the rain

[PastaJoe]

Oh, no, don't let the rain come down
(Ah, ah) Oh, no, don't let the rain come down
(Ah, ah) Oh, no, don't let the rain come down
My roof's got a hole in it and I might drown
Oh, yes, my roof's got a hole in it and I might drown
