Lyrical Response

[cwater10]

Why let your shoulders bend
Underneath this burden
When my back is sturdy and strong?
Trouble me

 

don't mislead me
The calm I feel means a storm is swelling
(Speak to me) there's no telling where it starts or how it ends
(Speak to me) why are you building this thick brick wall to defend me
(Speak to me) when your silence is my greatest fear?

 

Why let your shoulders bend
Underneath this burden
When my back is sturdy and strong?
Speak to me

[Just Jack]

Hey, teacher, leave them kids alone
All in all, it's just another brick in the wall
All in all, you're just another brick in the wall

[muppy]

Sometimes, I feel I gotta get away
Bells chime, I know I gotta get away
And I know if I don't, I'll go out of my mind
Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright
The kids are alright

[PastaJoe]

Alabama getaway
Alabama getaway
Only way to please me
Turn around and leave
And walk away

[Joe Ferguson forever]

I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
Because you're mine, I walk the line

[Verse 2]
I find it very, very easy to be true
I find myself alone when each day is through
Yes, I'll admit that I'm a fool for you
Because you're mine, I walk the line

 

 

[cwater10]

I bought a ticket to the world
But now I've come back again
Why do I find it hard to write the next line?
Oh, I want the truth to be said

 

I know this much is true
I know this much is true

 

With a thrill in my head and a pill on my tongue
Dissolve the nerves that have just begun
Listening to Marvin all night long
This is the sound of my soul
 

[Just Jack]

She's got a ticket to ride
She's got a ticket to ride
She's got a ticket to ride, but she don't care

[Joe Ferguson forever]

I've got a ticket to the moon 
I'll be leaving here any day soon 
Yeah, I've got a ticket to the moon 
But I'd rather see the sunrise, in your eyes

[muppy]

… I'm gonna take you on a trip so far from here
I've got two tickets in my pocket, now baby, we're gonna disappear
We've waited so long, waited so long
We've waited so long, waited so long

… I've got two tickets to paradise
Won't you pack your bags, we'll leave tonight
I've got two tickets to paradise
I've got two tickets to paradise

[Just Jack]

This must be just like livin' in paradise
And I don't want to go home

[cwater10]

I got elastic bands keepin' my shoes on
Got those swollen-hand blues
I got thirteen channels of ***** on the T.V. to choose from
I've got electric light
And I've got second sight
I got amazing powers of observation
And that is how I know
When I try to get through 
On the telephone to you
There'll be nobody home

 

I've got the obligatory Hendrix perm
And the inevitable pinhole burns
All down the front of my favorite satin shirt
I've got nicotine stains on my fingers
I've got a silver spoon on a chain
Got a grand piano to prop up my mortal remains

 

I've got wild staring eyes
And I've got a strong urge to fly
But I got nowhere to fly to
Ooh, babe when I pick up the phone

there's still nobody home

[muppy]

"Yeah, you got satin shoes
Yeah, you got plastic boots
Y'all got cocaine eyes
Yeah, you got speed-freak jive now

Can't you hear me knockin' on your window?
Can't you hear me knockin' on your door?
Can't you hear me knockin' down your dirty street, yeah?

[cwater10]

A green plastic watering can
For a fake Chinese rubber plant
In a fake plastic earth
That she bought from a rubber man
In a town full of rubber plants
To get rid of itself

It wears her out
It wears her out
It wears her out
It wears her out

I was eight years old
And running with a dime in my hand
To the bus stop to pick
Up a paper for my old man
I'd sit on his lap in that big old Buick
And steer as we drove through town
He'd tousle my hair
And say, "son, take a good look around"
This is your home town
This is your home town
This is your home town
This is your home town"

[cwater10]

Operator, oh, let's forget about this call
There's no one there I really wanted to talk to
Thank you for your time
Ah, you've been so much more than kind
You can keep the dime

[Just Jack]

The wretched desert takes its form
The jackal proud and tight
In search of you I feel my way
Through slowest heaving night
Whatever fear invents
I swear it makes no sense
I reach out through the border fence
Come down, come talk to me

[cwater10]

I'm out on the border 
I thought this was a private line 
Don't you tell me 'bout your law and order 
I'm try'n' to change this water to wine 

[Just Jack]

Red, red wine, it's up to you
All I can do I've done
Memories won't go, memories won't go

[Joe Ferguson forever]

can't keep up...so going with "water"...  

When the night shows
The signals grow on radios
All the strange things
They come and go, as early warnings

Stranded starfish have no place to hide
Still waiting for the swollen Eastern tide
There's no point in direction
We cannot even choose a side

I took the old track
The hollow shoulder, across the waters
On the tall cliffs
They were getting older, sons and daughters

The jaded underworld was riding high
Waves of steel hurled metal at the sky
And as the nail sunk in the cloud
The rain was warm and soaked the crowd

Lord, here comes the flood
We'll say goodbye to flesh and blood
If again the seas are silent
In any still alive
It'll be those who gave their island to survive
Drink up, dreamers, you're running dry

[Joe Ferguson forever]
