Lyrical Response

[Bill from NYC]

Have you seen your mother baby, standing in the shadow?
Have you had another baby, standing in the shadow?
You take your choice at this time
The brave old world or the slide to the depths of decline, of decline

[PastaJoe]

Standing in the shadows of love
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come
Don't you see me standing in the shadows of love
Trying my best to get ready for the heartaches to come

[muppy]

My love
There's only you in my life
The only thing that's right
My first love
You're every breath that I take
You're every step I make

[Just Jack]

It's my life
It's now or never
But I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive

[WhoTom]

But who can unlearn all the facts that I've learned
As I sat in their chairs and my synapses burned
And the torture of chalk dust collects on my tongue
Thoughts follow my vision and dance in the sun
All my vasoconstrictors they come slowly undone
Can't this wait 'til I'm old?
Can't I live while I'm young?

[Just Jack]

It tortures me to move my hands
To try to move at all
And pulled
My skin so tight it screams
And screams and screams
And pulls some more

[muppy]

 

More than the greatest love the world has known
This is the love I'll give to you alone
More than the simplest words I try to say
I only live to love you more each day

[PastaJoe]

Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more

[muppy]

They tell me I must reap just what I have sown but darling I hope it's not true
For once I made plans about living alone but that was before I met you
I thought I was swinging...
But that was before I met you

[Bill from NYC]

You're my lover girl
And I'm your lover boy
Love is no game
Let's not take it for a toy

It's like the good book says
You have to reap just what you sow
(What you sow, what you sow)

[muppy]

 

Easy lover
She'll get a hold on you, believe it
Like no other
Before you know it, you'll be on your knees

She's an easy lover
She'll take your heart, but you won't feel it
She's like no other
And I'm just trying to make you see

[WhoTom]

Something in the way she moves
Attracts me like no other lover
Something in the way she woos me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how

[Just Jack]

But I still believe
Yes, I still believe
Through the shame
And through the grief

[muppy]

Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say,
"I really don't think you're strong enough, no."
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say,
"I really don't think you're strong enough, no."
 

[WhoTom]

Inside outside, leave me alone
Inside outside, nowhere is home
Inside outside, where have I been?
Out of my brain on the five fifteen

[Just Jack]

I must be out of my head
It must be something I said
So come on I'll waste my life
You think I'm out of my head
But I'm romantically dead
So come on I'll waste my life on you

[muppy]

 

Wasted days and wasted nights
I have left for you behind
For you don't belong to me
You heart belongs to someone else

 

Why should I keep loving you
When I know that you're not true
And why should I call your name
When you're to blame for making me blue

[Just Jack]

She cries your name
Three times again
She cries your name
How long can this love remain?

[WhoTom]

Is this love,

is this love,

is this love,

is this love that I'm feelin'?

[Just Jack]

What is love?
Oh baby, don't hurt me
Don't hurt me
No more
