Lyrical Response

[Bill from NYC]

A choke of grief heart hardened I
Beyond belief a broken man too tough to cry

Surf's Up
Aboard a tidal wave
Come about hard and join
The young and often spring you gave
I heard the word
Wonderful thing
A children's song

 

One of Brian Wilson's creepiest songs as he was sadly losing his mind,  

[Just Jack]

'Cause right now I'm lying in bed
Just like Brian Wilson did
Well I am lying in bed
Just like Brian Wilson did

[SinceThe70s]

Starry nights, city lights coming down over me
Skyscrapers and stargazers in my head
Are we we are, are we we are the waiting unknown?

[PastaJoe]

Starry, starry night
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
Swirling clouds in violet haze
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue

[Bills4everNY]

I don't want to argue

I ain't gonna budge

Won't you take this number down before you call up the Judge?

I don't want to argue

There's nothing to say

Get me out of your starry eyes and be on your way 

[WhoTom]

It's high time that you found
The same people you misuse on your way up
You might meet up
On your way down

[Bill from NYC]

Nothing's for certain
It could always go wrong
Come in when it's raining
Go on out when it's gone
We could have us a high time
Living the good life
Well I know

[SinceThe70s]

And I don't wanna be an old man anymore
It's been a year or two since I was out on the floor
Shaking booty, making sweet love all the night
It's time I got back to the good life

[PastaJoe]

… Times are hard
You're afraid to pay the fee
So you find yourself somebody
Who can do the job for free
When you need a bit of lovin'
'Cause your man is out of town
That's the time you get me runnin'
And you know I'll be around

… I'm a fool to do your dirty work
Oh yeah
I don't wanna do your dirty work
No more

[Just Jack]

Now that ain't workin' that's the way you do it
You play the guitar on the MTV
That ain't workin', that's the way you do it
Money for nothin' and your chicks for free
Money for nothin', chicks for free

Well, I get up at seven, yeah
And I go to work at nine
I got no time for livin'
Yes, I'm workin' all the time

 

It seems to me
I could live my life
A lot better than I think I am
I guess that's why they call me
They call me the workin' man

[WhoTom]

You got me working, boss man,

Working 'round the clock
I want a little a drink of water

But you just won't let me stop

 

[SinceThe70s]

Bus boy, bartender, ladies of the night
Grease monkey, ex-junky, winner of the fight
Walking on the streets its really all the same
Selling souls, rock n' roll, any other day

 

Workin' for a livin' (workin')
Workin' for a livin' (workin')
Workin' for a livin', livin' and workin'
I'm taking what they giving 'cause I'm working for a livin'.

[Just Jack]

Bus stop, wet day, she's there, I say
"Please, share my umbrella"
Bus stop, bus goes, she stays, love grows
Under my umbrella

[SinceThe70s]

She talks kinda lazy
And people say she she's crazy
And her life's a mystery
Oh, but Love grows where my Rosemary goes
And nobody knows like me

[PastaJoe]

People say I'm lazy
Dreaming my life away
Well they give me all kinds of advice
Designed to enlighten me
When I tell them that I'm doing fine watching shadows on the wall
"Don't you miss the big time boy, you're no longer on the ball?"

[WhoTom]

You're lazy

Just stay in bed
You're lazy

Just stay in bed
You don't want no money
You don't want no bread

in honor of JA's big deal...

 

I've got ninety thousand pounds in my pajamas.

I've got forty thousand French francs in my fridge.

I've got lots of lovely lire.

Now the Deutschmark's getting dearer,

And my dollar bills would buy the Brooklyn Bridge.

 

There is nothing quite as wonderful as money.

There is nothing quite as beautiful as cash.

Some people say it's folly,

But I'd rather have the lolly.

With money you can make a splash.

"Katy tried, I was halfway crucified
I was on the other side
Of no tomorrow
You walked in, and my life began again
Just when I'd spent the last
Piaster I could borrow..."

[SinceThe70s]

She caught the Katy
And left me a mule to ride
