Lyrical Response

[muppy]

Someone found a letter you wrote me on the radio
And they told the world just how you felt
It must have fallen out of a hole in your old brown overcoat
They never said your name but I knew just who they meant
 

[Just Jack]

So Elise it doesn't matter what you say
I just can't stay here every yesterday
Like keep on acting out the same the way we act out

[PastaJoe]

Living is easy with eyes closed
Misunderstanding all you see
It's getting hard to be someone
But it all works out
It doesn't matter much to me

[muppy]

 

It starts with one thing I don't know why

It doesn't even matter how hard you try

Keep that in mind I designed this rhyme

To explain in due time All I know

Time is a valuable thing

Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings

Watch it count down to the end of the day

The clock ticks life away

[Just Jack]

Because
Time won't give me time
And time makes lovers feel
Like they've got something real
But you and me
We know we've got
Nothin' but time
And time won't give me time
Won't give me time
(Time, time, time)

[gdabillsfan]

Goodbye my friend
Maybe for forever
Goodbye my friend
The stars wait for me
Who knows where we shall meet again
If ever
But time
Keeps flowing like a river (on and on)
To the sea
To the sea

[Just Jack]

Goodbye to you, my trusted friend
We've known each other since we were nine or ten
Together we've climbed hills and trees
Learned of love and ABCs
Skinned our hearts and skinned our knees

[WhoTom]

You pick the place and I'll choose the time
And I'll climb the hill in my own way
Just wait a while for the right day
And as I rise above the treeline and the clouds
I look down hearing the sound of the things you said today

[Just Jack]

And if I only could
I'd make a deal with God
And I'd get him to swap our places
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
Be running up that building
Say, if I only could, oh

[muppy]

If God had a name, what would it be?
And would you call it to his face
If you were faced with Him in all His glory?
What would you ask if you had just one question?

And yeah, yeah, God is great
Yeah, yeah, God is good
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

What if God was one of us?
Just a slob like one of us?
Just a stranger on the bus
Trying to make His way home?
 

[Bill from NYC]

How many miles will it take
To see the sun
And how many years until it's done
Kiss my confusion away in the night
Lay by side when the morning comes

 

And the baby looks around him
And shares his bed of hay
With the burrow in the palace of the king

 

He's a stranger in a strange land
Tell me why
He's a stranger in a strange land
Just a stranger in a strange land

[Just Jack]

Kiss me, kiss me, kiss me
Your tongue is like poison
So swollen it fills up my mouth
Love me, love me, love me
You nail me to the floor
And push my guts all inside-out
Get it out, get it out, get it out
Get your ***** voice
Out of my head

[WhoTom]

I wake up on my stomach
With my face between my hands
And crawl along the floor
Towards the doorway
Jumpin' to my feet
I try to pull myself together
But I feel it in my knees
And the room begins to spin
And I slip and bump my head
An' raise a welt
Split open and melt

[Just Jack]

Ah, might as well jump (jump)
Might as well jump
Go ahead and jump (jump)
Go ahead and jump

[muppy]

 

I was born in a crossfire hurricane, well
And I howled at my ma, at the driving rain, ooh yeah

But it's alright, oh, that is a gas
I said, it's all right
Jumpin' Jack Flash is a g-g-gas, oh yeah

[PastaJoe]

Here comes the story of the Hurricane
The man the authorities came to blame
For somethin' that he never done
Put in a prison cell, but one time he could-a been
The champion of the world

[Just Jack]

Here I am
Rock you like a hurricane
Here I am
Rock you like a hurricane

[WhoTom]

You are like a hurricane
There's calm in your eye
And I'm gettin' blown away
To somewhere safer where the feeling stays
I want to love you but I'm getting blown away

[Bill from NYC]

 

I am the eye in the sky, looking at you
I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules, dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind

And I don't need to see any more
To know that

 

I can read your mind (looking at you)
I can read your mind (looking at you)
I can read your mind (looking at you)
I can read your mind

[muppy]

 

For five long years 

I thought that you were my man

But I found out
I'm just a link in your chain

You got me where you want me
I  ain't nothin' but your fool
Ya treated me mean

Chain, chain, chain
(Chain, chain, chain)
Chain of fools
