Lyrical Response

[muppy]

Sixteen candles make a lovely light
But not as bright as your eyes tonight (as your eyes tonight) (Oh)
Blow out the candles, make your wish come true
For I'll be wishing that you love me, too (that you love me, too)
 

[PastaJoe]

You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
St. Peter, don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store

[Bill from NYC]

Saint Stephen with a rose
In and out of the garden he goes
Country garland in the wind and the rain 
Wherever he goes the people all complain

 

Stephen prospered in his time
Well he may, and he may decline
Did it matter, does it now?
Stephen would answer if he only knew how

[WhoTom]

I'd like to be
Under the sea
In an octopus' garden
In the shade

[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

[DD4Bills]

Oh beautiful, for spacious skies
For amber waves of grain
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain

[LeviF]

Amber Lynn, you’ve got me wishing for the stars tonight
And I’ve been messed up, but oh, you got here just in time
You saved my life, and I don’t ever think I’ll find the words to say
Amber Lynn, I’ve got three days to keep away

[Gugny]

Three days was the morning
My focus three days old
My head, it landed
To the sounds of cricket bows

 

I am proud man anyway
Covered now by three days

[muppy]

Just call me angel of the morning, angel
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby.
Just call me angel of the morning, angel
Then slowly turn away from me

[WhoTom]

In the mornin' I pack up my gear
And toss it in my carryall
Run the wide load to lip and
Watch the big core crack an' glow
In the evening I undo my belt
Split open and melt

[muppy]

In the day we sweat it out on the streets
Of a runaway American dream
At night we ride through the mansions of glory
In suicide machines
Sprung from cages on Highway 9
Chrome wheeled, fuel injected, and steppin' out over the line
Oh, baby this town rips the bones from your back
It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap
We gotta get out while we're young
'Cause tramps like us, baby, we were born to run
 

[WhoTom]

Reprobates, tramps, and saints

We all get together and seal our fates

Havin' a party

After the sun goes down.

 

 

It's kind of an obscure song. If you want to check it out:

[muppy]

Though we've gotta say goodbye, for the summer
Baby, I promise you this
I'll send you all my love
Every day in a letter
Sealed with a kiss

[DD4Bills]

Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the gray.
Ooh, the more I get of you, the stranger it feels, yeah.
And now that your rose is in bloom.
A light hits the gloom
On the gray.

[muppy]

I see you've got your fist out
Say your piece and get out
Yes, I get the gist of it, but it's alright
Sorry that you feel that way
The only thing there is to say
Every silver lining's got a touch of grey
 

[WhoTom]

Well, it's alright, even if you're old and grey
Well, it's alright, you still got something to say
Well, it's alright, remember to live and let live
Well, it's alright, the best you can do is forgive

[PastaJoe]

When you were young and your heart 
Was an open book
You used to say live and let live
(You know you did)
(You know you did)
(You know you did)

But if this ever changin' world
In which we're livin'
Makes you give in and cry
Say live and let die
Live and let die

[muppy]

If my pillow could talk, imagine what it would have said
Could it be a river of tears I cried in bed?
So you can cry me a river
Daddy, go ahead and cry that river
Cause I cried, how I cried a river over you
How I cried a river over you

 

 

[WhoTom]

Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry, cry, cry,
I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky,
And the tears that I cried for that woman

Are gonna flood you Big River,
I'm gonna sit right here until I die.

[muppy]

When I die and they lay me to rest
Gonna go to the place that's best
When they lay me down to die
Going on up to the Spirit in the sky
