Lyrical Response

[WhoTom]

There's a band out on the highway
They're high steppin' into town
It's a rainbow full of sound
It's fireworks, calliopes, and clowns
Everybody dancin'

[PastaJoe]

Isn't it rich?
Isn't it *****?
Losing my timing this late in my career
But where are the clowns?
There ought to be clowns
Well, maybe next year

[Joe Ferguson forever]

Oh life is bigger
It's bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
Oh no I've said too much
I set it up

That's me in the corner
That's me in the spot-light
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no I've said too much
I haven't said enough

Long distance runaround
Long time waiting to feel the sound
I still remember the dream there
I still remember the time you said goodbye
Did we really tell lies
Letting in the sunshine
Did we really count to one hundred

[Just Jack]

Yeah, I should have known it from the very start
This girl will leave me with a broken heart
Now listen people what I'm telling you
A keep away from a Runaround Sue yeah

[muppy]

Well, what are we gonna tell your mama?
What are we gonna tell your pa'?
What are we gonna tell our friends when they say
"Ooh, la, la"?

 

Wake up, little Susie
Wake up, little Susie

[Just Jack]

What about your friends?
Will they stand their ground?
Will they let you down? hey yay

What about your friends?
Are they gonna be low down?
Will they ever be around?
Or will they turn their backs on you?

[WhoTom]

And after a while, you can work on points for style
Like the club tie, and the firm handshake
A certain look in the eye and an easy smile
You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to
So that when they turn their backs on you,
You'll get the chance to put the knife in

[cwater10]

All the times
When we were close
I'll remember
These things the most
I see all my dreams come tumbling down
I can't be happy
Without you around
So alone I keep the wolves at bay
And there is only one thing that I can say

 

You didn't stand by me
No, not at all
You didn't stand by me
No way

 

You must explain
Why this must be
Did you lie
When you spoke to me?
Did you stand by me?
No, not at all

 

[Just Jack]

When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see
No, I won't be afraid
Oh, I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

[WhoTom]

If the sun
Goes behind a cloud
And you feel
It's gonna rain
And the moon
It ain't shinin' bright
And the stars
The stars, they won't shine for you tonight
If life gets hard to understand
Your love life is out of hand
Just come to mama

 

[PastaJoe]

Times have changed and times are strange
Here I come, but I ain't the same
Mama, I'm coming home
Times gone by seems to be
You could have been a better friend to me
Mama, I'm coming home

[Joe Ferguson forever]

Comes a time when you're driftin'
Comes a time when you settle down
Comes a light, feelings liftin'
Lift that baby right up off the ground

Oh, this old world keeps spinnin' 'round
It's a wonder, tall trees ain't layin' down
There comes a time

[WhoTom]

You're sick of hangin' around and you'd like to travel
Get tired of travelin' and you want to settle down
I guess they can't revoke your soul for tryin'
Get out of the door and light out and look all around

[cwater10]

I’m walking through streets that are dead
Walking, walking with you in my head
My feet are so tired, my brain is so wired
And the clouds are weeping

Did I hear someone tell a lie?
Did I hear someone’s distant cry?
You thrilled me to my heart, then you ripped it all apart
You went through my pockets when I was sleeping

I’m sick of love…but I’m in the thick of it
This kind of love…I’m so sick of it

I see lovers in the meadow
I see silhouettes in the window
I watch them ’til they’re gone and they leave me hanging on
To a shadow

I’m sick of love…I hear the clock tick
This kind of love…I’m love sick

[Just Jack]

Don't make me feel any colder
Time is like a clock in my heart
Touch we, touch was the
Heat too much
I felt I
Lost you from the start

[muppy]

Yeah, here I am sitting on this bar stool,
Talking like a damn fool
Got the twelve o'clock news blues
And I've given up hope for the afternoon soaps
And a bottle of cold brew
Is it any wonder I'm not crazy
Is it any wonder I'm sane at all
Well I'm so tired of losing
I've got nothing to do and all day to do it
Well I'd go out cruising, but I've no place
To go and all night to get there
Is it any wonder I'm not a criminal
Is it any wonder I'm not in jail
Is it any wonder I've got too much time on my hands
It's ticking away with my sanity
I've got too much time on my hands
It's hard to believe such a calamity
I've got too much time on my hands
And it's ticking away, ticking away from me

[PastaJoe]

She's a witch of trouble in electric blue,
In her own mad mind she's in love with you.
With you.
Now what you gonna do?

Strange brew
Kill what's inside of you.

[Bill from NYC]

And all at once you're ready to hang it up
'Cause things didn't turn out the way you planned
And all your friends they're calling you a fool
'Cause you don't know a good thing
When you got it in your hands

 

Whatcha gonna do when she says goodbye
Whatcha gonna do when she is gone
Whatcha gonna do when she says goodbye
Whatcha gonna do when she is gone

[Just Jack]

Oh, do I dare, I have the touch
Wanting contact
I'm wanting contact
I'm wanting contact with you
Shake those hands, shake those hands
Give me the thing I understand
