Lyrical Response

[Joe Ferguson forever]

Mary Anne and Wanda were the best of friends
All through their high school days
Both members of the 4H club, both active in the FFA
After graduation
Mary Anne went out lookin' for a bright new world
Wanda looked all around this town and all she found was Earl

Well, it wasn't two weeks after she got married that
Wanda started gettin' abused
She'd put on dark glasses and long sleeved blouses
And makeup to cover a bruise
Well, she finally got the nerve to file for divorce
She let the law take it from there
But Earl walked right through that restraining order
And put her in intensive care

Right away Mary Anne flew in from Atlanta
On a red eye midnight flight
She held Wanda's hand and they worked out a plan
And it didn't take 'em long to decide
That Earl had to die

When you get up in the morning and the light is hurt your head
The first thing you do when you get up out of bed
Is hit that streets a-runnin' and try to beat the masses
And go get yourself some cheap sunglasses
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

[cwater10]

Morning has broken like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for them springing fresh from the world

[PastaJoe]

Good morning America how are you?
Say, don't you know me? I'm your native son
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans
I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done

[Just Jack]

On the boats and on the planes
They're coming to America
Never looking back again
They're coming to America

[cwater10]

The ice age is coming, the sun's zooming in
Meltdown expected, the wheat is growing thin
Engines stop running, but I have no fear
'Cause London is drowning
I live by the river

[SinceThe70s]

Train death paintings, anti-meth murals
Color the ghettos of N. Dakota
Bismark tractor association, coffee and toothpaste
This was vacation
I saw, while squinting, the hidden layer
In those lost-era grain elevators
Feudal beginnings, amber wave looseness
Post-Nordic grinning tired and toothless

[Joe Ferguson forever]

I wear my sunglasses at night
So I can, so I can
Watch you weave then breathe your story lines

And I wear my sunglasses at night
So I can, so I can
Keep track of the visions in my eyes

While, she's deceiving me
It cuts my security 
Has she got control of me?
I turn to her and say

Don't switch the blade on the guy in shades, oh no
Don't masquerade with the guy in shades, oh no
I can't believe it
'Cause you've got it made with the guy in shades, oh no

[Just Jack]

Just let me know
Can you be the one to hold and not let me go?
I need to know
Could you be the one to call when I lose control?

[Joe Ferguson forever]

She don't like her eggs all runny
She thinks crossin' her legs is funny
She looks down her nose at money
She gets it on like the Easter Bunny
She's my baby I'm her honey
I'm never gonna let her go 

 

[muppy]

Ah honey, how could you do it
We swore each other everlasting love
I said, well yeah, I know, but when we did
There was one thing we weren't thinking of and that's money

 

Money changes everything
Money, money changes everything
We think we know what we're doing
That don't mean a thing
It's all in the past now
Money changes everything

[Bill from NYC]

Smiling faces greet me
Everyone's my friend
They pretend
So sad so sad

 

They see I am happy
With my lady
They're not satisfied
All their feelings died

 

Something in this city changes people
Makes them devil-eyed
 

[cwater10]

Now what you hear is not a test: I'm rappin' to the beat
And me, the groove, and my friends are gonna try to move your feet
See, I am Wonder Mike, and I'd like to say hello
To the black, to the white, the red
And the brown, the purple and yellow
But first I gotta bang bang the boogie to the boogie
Say up jump the boogie to the bang bang boogie
Let's rock, you don't stop
Rock the riddle that will make your body rock
Well, so far you've heard my voice, but I brought two friends along
And next on the mike is my man Hank, come on Hank, sing that song

[PastaJoe]

I said Mr. Purple People Eater, what's your line?
And he said, "Eatin' purple people and it sure is fine"
But that's not the reason that I came to land
"I wanna get a job in a rock and roll band"

 

[cwater10]

Dancin' in the streets of Hyannis
We were getting pretty good at the game
People stood in line and didn't seem to mind
You know everybody knew our name
Livin' on rock and roll music
Never worried 'bout the things we were missin'
When we got up on stage and got ready to play, everybody'd listen

 

Rock and roll band, everybody's waitin'
Gettin' crazy, anticipatin'
Love, and music, play, play, play, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[WhoTom]

But listen to the colour of your dreams
It is not living
It is not living

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
 

[cwater10]

Summertime and the living is easy
Fish are jumping and the cotton is high
Oh, your daddy's rich and your ma is good-looking
So hush, little baby, don't you cry

t's not clinging to the rocks and ivy
Planted on their columns now that bind me
Or something that somebody said
Because they thought we fit together walking

It's just knowing that the world will not be cursing
Or forgiving when I walk along some railroad track and find
That you're moving on the backroads
By the rivers of my memory
And for hours you're just gentle on my mind

[Just Jack]

Then I'm walking in Memphis
Was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel?
