Lyrical Response

[muppy]

Work away today, work away tomorrow.
Never comes the day for my love and me.
I feel her gently sighing as the evening slips away.
If only you knew what's inside of me now
You wouldn't want to know me somehow,
But
You will love me tonight,
We alone will be alright,
In the end.

Seems I've got to have a change of scene
Every night I have the strangest dreams
Imprisoned by the way it could have been
Left here on my own or so it seems
I've got to leave before I start to scream
Won't someone lock the door and turn the key

 

Feeling alright (oh, no)
I'm not feeling too good myself (on, no)
If I feeling alright (oh, no)
I'm not feeling that good myself, yeah (oh, no)

[PastaJoe]

Someone's knockin' at the door
Somebody's ringin' the bell
Someone's knockin' at the door
Somebody's ringin' the bell
Do me a favor
Open the door and let 'em in

[muppy]

You went away and left me long time ago
And now you're knockin' on my door

I hear you knockin'
But you can't come in
I hear you knockin'
Go back where you been
 

[Bill from NYC]

It's been a long long, long time
How could I ever have lost you?
When I loved you

It took a long long, long time
Now I'm so happy I found you
How I love you

So many tears I was searching
So many tears I was wasting, oh oh

[WhoTom]

I was searching (searching) on a one-way street
I was hoping (hoping) for a chance to meet
I was waiting for the operator on the line

[PastaJoe]

Operator, well, could you help me place this call?
See, the number on the matchbook is old and faded
She's living in L. A. with my best old ex-friend Ray
Guy, she said she knew well and sometimes hated

[Bill from NYC]

When it seems your friends desert you
There's somebody thinking of you
I'm the one who'll never hurt you
Maybe that's because I love you
Call me, don't be afraid, you can call me
Maybe it's late, but just call me
Tell me, and I'll be around

[WhoTom]

If you'll be my bodyguard
I can be your long lost pal
I can call you Betty
And Betty, when you call me, you can call me Al

[muppy]

Cover me with kisses, baby
Cover me with love
Roll me in designer sheets
I'll never get enough
Emotions come, I don't know why
Cover up love's alibi

Call me (call me) on the line
Call me, call me any, anytime
Call me (call me) oh my love
When you're ready we can share the wine
Call me
 

[PastaJoe]

I'm in the phone booth, it's the one across the hall
If you don't answer, I'll just ring it off the wall
I know he's there, but I just had to call
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone

[DD4Bills]

I thought I was okay alone

Wait for the postman and the telephone

Lost in a world of my own

I thought I could run alone

Thought I could run through the night alone

[WhoTom]

Readin' that Tulsa telephone book can drive a guy insane
Especially if that girl you're lookin' for has no last name
I gotta find her and tell her, I don't want our love to end
So I'm readin' that Tulsa telephone book again

[muppy]

Hang me in the Tulsa County stars
Hang me in the Tulsa County stars
Meet me where I land if I slip and fall too far
Hang me in the Tulsa County stars

I don't want to come back down to earth
No, I don't want to come back down to earth
My heart is growing heavy from the ever-endless hurt
So I don't want to come back down to earth

[gdabillsfan]

Where pleasure follows pain
People go insane
Fly around in planes
Pray that it won't rain
Drive around in cars
Get drunk in local bars
Dream of being stars
Well I lived all my life on planet earth

[PastaJoe]

Here in my car
I feel safest of all
I can lock all my doors
It's the only way to live
In cars

[SinceThe70s]

Oh the docks are quiet (there's somethin' wrong)
And there's no ships comin' in (I lock step I'm gone)
Where there once was a riot (there's somethin' wrong)
There's a whole lot of nothin' (I lock, step, I'm gone)

[Just Jack]

The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down
Of the big lake they called Gitche Gumee
The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead
When the skies of November turn gloomy
With a load of iron ore twenty-six thousand tons more
Than the Edmund Fitzgerald weighed empty
That good ship and true was a bone to be chewed
When the gales of November came early

[muppy]

On the day I was born
The nurses all gathered 'round
And they gazed in wide wonder
At the joy they had found
The head nurse spoke up
Said "leave this one alone"
She could tell right away
That I was bad to the bone
 

[PastaJoe]

I see the bad moon a-rising
I see trouble on the way
I see earthquakes and lightnin'
I see bad times today

Don't go around tonight
Well it's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise
