Lyrical Response

[KD in CA]

On a morning from a Bogart movie
In a country where they turn back time
You go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre
Contemplating a crime
She comes out of the sun in a silk dress running
Like a watercolor in the rain
Don't bother asking for explanations
She'll just tell you that she came
In the year of the cat

 

She doesn't give you time for questions
As she locks up your arm in hers
And you follow 'till your sense of which direction
Completely disappears
By the blue tiled walls near the market stalls
There's a hidden door she leads you to
These days, she says, I feel my life
Just like a river running through
The year of the cat

[PastaJoe]

I make the ***** purr with the stroke of my hand
They know they gettin' it from me
They know just where to go
When they need their lovin' man
They know I do it for free

I give 'em cat scratch fever
Cat scratch fever
They got it bad scratch fever
Cat scratch fever

mention of Lorre is key

Pussycat, pussycat, I've got flowers
And lots of hours to spend time with you
So go and powder your cute little pussycat nose

[Figster]

 

See these eyes so green

I can stare for a thousand years

Colder then the moon

 

[row_33]

Green eyed lady, windswept lady
Moves the night the waves the sand
Green eyed lady, ocean lady
Child of nature, friend of man

[SinceThe70s]

Now when the day goes to sleep and the full moon looks
And the night is so black that the darkness cooks
And you come creeping around, making me do things I don't want to do

Can't believe that she needs my love so bad
Come sneaking around, trying to drive me mad
Busting in all my dreams, making me see things I don't want to see

Cause you're the Green Manalishi with the two-pronged crown

[Gugny]

Lady when you're with me I'm smiling
Give me all your love
Your hands build me up when I'm sinking
Touch me and my troubles all fade

[row_33]

Into my room he creeps
Without making a sound
Into my dreams he peeps
With his hair all long and hanging down

[KD in CA]

Look, he's crawling up my wall 
Black and hairy, very small 
Now he's up above my head 
Hanging by a little thread

Boris the spider 
Boris the spider

 

Now he's dropped on to the floor 
Heading for the bedroom door 
Maybe he's as scared as me 
Where's he gone now, I can't see

 

Boris the spider 
Boris the spider
Creepy, crawly 
Creepy, crawly 

[Gugny]

When you were here before
Couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry

You float like a feather
In a beautiful world

And I wish I was special
You're so *****in' special

 

But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo.
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here.

[SinceThe70s]

He knows how to talk and he knows how to fight
And all the contenders were beat out of sight
Sing, Muhammad, Muhammad Ali
He floats like a butterfly and stings like a bee

[The Real Buffalo Joe]

(I'm so sorry.)

 

Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer
Stickin' little white flowers all up in her hair
"Walk beside the pony
Daddy, it's my first ride"
"I know the cake looks funny
Daddy, but I sure tried"
Oh, with all that I've done wrong
I must have done something right
To deserve a hug every morning
And butterfly kisses at night

[WhoTom]

She had rings on her fingers and bells on her shoes
And I knew without asking she was into the blues
She wore scarlet begonias tucked into her curls
I knew right away she was not like other girls, other girls

[The Real Buffalo Joe]

Well, it's one for the money
Two for the show
Three to get ready
Now go, cat, go

But don't you
Step on my blue suede shoes
Well you can do anything
But stay off of my blue suede shoes

[KD in CA]

Oh, will you let me spin for you the dream, of my love
Endlessly I'm falling
Through ancient nights of violent blue Through days of old I've searched for you
I've stumbled into traps and mazes
On my way to your oasis

It's true, I know I'm not the same
Since my heart goes with the flame
But this is more then it could ever be, this is happiness'

 

Nobody loves me; nobody loves me, but you
And all temptations I resist
Nothing can compare to this
Nobody loves me; nobody loves me, but you
And for that I'd walk through fire
I'd give it all away in gratitude

[Gugny]

Oh, nobody's fault but mine
Nobody's fault but mine
Trying to save my soul tonight
Oh, it's nobody's fault but mine

 

The devil he told me to roll
The devil he told me to roll
How to roll the log tonight
Nobody's fault but mine

[WhoTom]

Nobody knows you
When you're down and out.
In your pocket, not even a penny,
And as for friends, you don't have any.

 

When you get back on your feet again,
Everybody wants to be your old long-lost friend.
It's mighty strange, without a doubt,
Nobody knows you when you're down and out.

[Gugny]

You can't get romantic on a subway line
Conductor don't like it, says you're wastin' your time
But everybody wants some
I want some too
Everybody wants some
Baby, how 'bout you?

[The Real Buffalo Joe]

Well, they took some honey from a tree
Dressed it up and they called it me

Everybody's trying to be my baby
Everybody's trying to be my baby
Everybody's trying to be my baby, now

[KD in CA]

And I was like baby, baby, baby oh
Like baby, baby, baby no
Like baby, baby, baby oh
I thought you'd always be mine (mine)
Baby, baby, baby oh
Like baby, baby, baby no
Like baby, baby, baby ooh
I thought you'd always be mine
