Lyrical Response

[WhoTom]

Headed out on a Greyhound
Just turned twenty-one
Went to see what could be found
Beneath the Western sun

Colorado bluebird sky
You can live a mile high
Colorado bluebird sky

[Just Jack]

But if I work all day on the blue sky mine
(There'll be food on the table tonight)
Still I walk up and down on the blue sky mine
(There'll be pay in your pocket tonight)

[PastaJoe]

Hey you with the pretty face
Welcome to the human race
A celebration, Mr. Blue Sky's up there waitin'
And today is the day we've waited for

[WhoTom]

Wind in the willow's playin' "Tea For Two"
The sky was yellow, and the sun was blue
Strangers stopping strangers just to shake their hand
Everybody's playing in the heart of gold band, heart of gold band

[DD4Bills]

They seem oblivious
To a soft spring rain
Like an English rain
So light, yet endless
From a leaden sky, yeah

[muppy]

Under a blood red sky
A crowd has gathered in black and white
Arms entwined, the chosen few
The newspaper says, says, say it's true, it's true
And we can break through
Though torn in two, we can be one

[PastaJoe]

Blood in the streets
In the town of New Haven
Blood stains the roofs
And the palm trees of Venice

Blood in my love
In the terrible summer
Bloody red sun of
Fantastic L.A.

[WhoTom]

I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well, a few of the verses, well, they've got me quite cross
But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song
It's for people like you that keep it turned on

[muppy]

Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here

Here comes the sun, doo-doo-doo-doo, here comes the sun
And I say it's all right

 

[Just Jack]

She hold the shotgun while you do-si-do
She want one man made of Hercules and Cyrano
Been a whole lot easier since the B word is gone
Little Miss, Little Miss, Little Miss can't be wrong

[muppy]

I was justified when I was five
Raising Cain, I spit in your eye
Times are changing now the poor get fat
But the fever's gonna catch you when the B word gets back
(Oh-oh-oh)

 

[PastaJoe]

The rooms were so much colder then
My father was a soldier then
And times were very hard
When I was young 

I smoked my first cigarette at ten
And for girls, I had a bad yen
And I had quite a ball
When I was young

[muppy]

Later in the evening
As you lie awake in bed
With the echoes from the amplifiers
Ringin' in your head
You smoke the day's last cigarette
Remembering what she said

[WhoTom]

Overhead the albatross hangs motionless upon the air
And deep beneath the rolling waves in labyrinths of coral caves
The echo of a distant time comes willowing across the sand
And everything is green and submarine

 

[muppy]

In the town where I was born
Lived a man who sailed to sea
And he told us of his life
In the land of submarines
So we sailed on to the sun
'Til we found a sea of green
And we lived beneath the waves
In our yellow submarine

And there's a girl in this harbor town
And she works layin' whiskey down
They say, Brandy, fetch another round
She serves them whiskey and wine

The sailors say, "Brandy, you're a fine girl" (you're a fine girl)
"What a good wife you would be" (such a fine girl)
"Yeah, your eyes could steal a sailor from the sea"

[gobilz]

Musha rain dum a doo, dum a da
Whack for my daddy, oh
Whack for my daddy, oh
There's whiskey in the jar, oh

[WhoTom]

Close up the bar you know the gates of the brewery
She's out there every night
And she sure ain't drinkin' tea
I love that woman, she's the best one that I had
But she's got this habit now and it sure is gettin' bad
That whiskey drinkin' woman
Is makin' a poor man out of me

[muppy]

Rock on, Gold Dust Woman
Take your silver spoon, dig your grave
Heartless challenge
Pick your path and I'll pray

 

Wake up in the morning
See your sunrise, loves to go down
Lousy lovers pick their prey
But they never cry out loud, cry out

 

Well, did she make you cry
Make you break down
Shatter your illusions of love?
And is it over now, do you know how?
Pick up the pieces and go home

[Just Jack]

Well, you wore out your welcome with random precision
Rode on the steel breeze
Come on, you raver, you seer of visions
Come on, you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine
