Lyrical Response

[WhoTom]

Well, I'll never be a stranger and I'll never be alone
Wherever we're together, that's my home

[SinceThe70s]

I gotta get home, there's a garden to tend
There's fruit on the ground and the birds have all moved back
Into my attic, whistling static
When the young learn to fly I will patch all the holes up again

[Gugny]

What happened here
As the New York sunset disappeared
I found an empty garden among the flagstones there
Who lived here
He must have been a gardener that cared a lot
Who weeded out the tears and grew a good crop
And now it all looks strange
It's funny how one insect can damage so much grain

It was so easy living day by day
Out of touch with the rhythm and blues
But now I need a little give and take
The New York Times, The Daily News

It comes down to reality
And it's fine with me 'cause I've let it slide
Don't care if it's Chinatown or up on Riverside
I don't have any reasons
I've left them all behind
I'm in a New York state of mind

 

[WhoTom]

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]

This is a thing I've never known before
It's called easy livin'
This is a place I've never seen before
And I've been forgiven

Easy livin' and I've been forgiven
Since you've taken your place in my heart

[Gugny]

… I want you to come on, come on, come on, come on and take it
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby (whoa, break it)
Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah, yeah, yeah (whoa, have a)
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby
You know you got it if it makes you feel good
Oh, yes indeed

[SinceThe70s]

If it makes you happy
It can't be that bad

[WhoTom]

She's a summer love in the spring, fall, and winter
She can make happy any man alive

 

[Bill from NYC]

Took her bowling in the Arcade
We went strolling, drank lemonade
We made out under the dock
We stayed up 'till ten o'clock

 

Summer fling, don't mean a thing
But, oh, oh, the summer nights

[muppy]

Traveling in a fried-out Kombi
On a hippie trail, head full of zombie
I met a strange lady, she made me nervous
She took me in and gave me breakfast
And she said

Do you come from a land down under?
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover

[Draconator]

I'm not giving in to security under pressure
I'm not missing out on the promise of adventure
I'm not giving up on implausible dreams
Experience to extremes
Experience to extremes

[WhoTom]

Must be because I had the flu for Christmas
And I'm not feelin' up to par
It increases my paranoia
Like lookin' at my mirror and seein' a police car
But I'm not givin' in an inch to fear
'Cause I promised myself this year
I feel like I owe it to someone

[muppy]

I'm starting with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make a change

[gobilz]

 Mirror mirror
Just watchin' with your eye of glass
You're just a fortune wheel
With something that I wanna ask

[WhoTom]

 

There were lines on the mirror, lines on her face

She pretended not to notice, she was caught up in the race

Out every evening, until it was light

He was too tired to make it, she was too tired to fight about it

[muppy]

Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide
No escape from reality

Open your eyes
Look up to the skies and see
I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy
Because I'm easy come, easy go
Little high, little low
Any way the wind blows
Doesn't really matter to me, to me
 

[gobilz]

See the men paint their faces and cry
(Like some girls) Like some girl, it makes you wonder why
City life, sure its cool, but it cuts like a knife, it's your life

So forget all that you see
It's not reality, it's just a fantasy

[WhoTom]

On Sunday morning, when we go down to church
See the menfolk standing in line
Say they come to pray to the Lord
But when my little girl looks so fine

[Bill from NYC]

Come Saturday morning I'm goin' away with my friend

We'll Saturday-spend till the end of the day

Just I and my friend

We'll travel for miles in our Saturday smiles

And then we'll move on

But we will remember, long after Saturday's gone

(Come Saturday morning, come Saturday morning)
