Lyrical Response

[WhoTom]

My friend, my friend he's got a knife
A statement from his former life
When he was easy but alone
Beside him was an empty throne

[muppy]

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]

Oh, the shark, babe, has such teeth, dear
And it shows them pearly white

.

.

.

Now on the sidewalk, huh, huh, whoo sunny morning, un huh
Lies a body just oozin' life, eek
And someone's sneakin' 'round the corner
Could that someone be Mack the Knife?

[PastaJoe]

It's a beautiful morning, ah
I think I'll go outside for a while
And just smile
Just take in some clean fresh air, boy
No sense in staying inside
If the weather's fine and you've got the time
It's your chance to wake up and plan another brand new day
Either way

[DD4Bills]

Turn the clock to zero, sister
You'll never know how much I missed her
I'm starting up a brand new day
Turn the clock to zero, boss
The river's wide, we'll swim across
Started up a brand new day

[muppy]

Babe, you know
You're growing up so fast
And mama's worrying
That you won't last
To say let's play
Sister Christian
There's so much in life
Don't you give it up
Before your time is due
It's true

Sister, sister what did they do to you
Did they take and try to break
A heart that long
It’s so wrong

[WhoTom]

Well I might as well go on over yonder
Way back up on the hill
(I got something to do)
Lord, I might as well go back over yonder
Way back yonder 'cross the hill
'Cause if my baby don't love me no more
I know her sister will!

[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?

[DD4Bills]

Drive like the wind
Straining the limits of machine and man
Laughing out loud with fear and hope
I've got a desperate plan
At the one-lane bridge
I leave the giants stranded at the riverside
Race back to the farm
To dream with my uncle at the fireside

[muppy]

 

It is the night my body's weak
I'm on the run no time to sleep
I've got to ride ride like the wind to be free again

And I got such a long way to go
(Such a long way to go)
To make it to the border of Mexico
So I'll ride like the wind, like the wind

One of them cowboys, he starts to draw,
I shot him down Lord, he never saw,
Shot me another,  oh damn he won't grow old
In the confusion, my uncle grabbed the gold,
And we hightailed it down to Mexico.

Last night it snowed for the first time
Everything's covered in white
How many months till the springtime
It's a long winter's night

I have to go, I feel I'm sinkin'
I just don't know
But I can't stop thinkin'
Mexico

[Just Jack]

We just now got the feeling that we're meeting
For the first time

[PastaJoe]

The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave
To the dark and the endless skies, my love
To the dark and the endless skies

[muppy]

'Cause you,

You mean the world to me (Oh)

I know I know I've found,

I've found in you

My endless love

[SinceThe70s]

All you've forsaken
And all that you've done
So that I could live out
This undying dream

 

Won't be forgotten
Or taken for granted
I'll always remember
Your endless sacrifice

[WhoTom]

Yeah, runnin' down a dream
That never would come to me
Workin' on a mystery

Goin' wherever it leads
Runnin' down a dream

[gdabillsfan]

You know when there's thunder
There should be rain
But it don't always follow the rule, no
And is the wise man always right?
No, he can play the fool

It's always a mystery
Not what it seems to be
It's always a mystery
Just like you and me
Always a mystery

[SinceThe70s]

When there's lightning, you know it always brings me down
'Cause it's free and I see that it's me
Who's lost and never found
