Lyrical Response

[Joe Ferguson forever]

Sister Rosetta Goes Before us-Plant and Krauss

Strange things are happening everyday
I hear the music up above my head
Though the sight of my heart has left me again
I hear music up above

Secrets are written in the sky
Looks like I've lost the love I've never found
Though the sound of hope has left me again
I hear music up above

Standing in my broken heart, all night long
Darkness held me like a friend when love wore off
Looking for the lamb that's hidden in the cross
The finder's lost
I know I loved you too much
I'll go alone to get through

I hear Rosetta singing in the night
Echos of light that shines like stars after they're gone
And tonight she's my guide as I go on alone
With the music up above

Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence

[Son of a K-Gun]

I look at you all
See the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps

[DD4Bills]

It was long after midnight
When we got to unconditional love
She said "sure my heart is boundless but don't push my limits too far"
I said "if love is so transcendent, I don't understand these boundaries"
She said "just don't disappoint me, you know how complex women are"

[WhoTom]

I'm a joker
I'm a smoker
I'm a midnight toker
I sure don't want to hurt no one

There must be some kind of way outta here
Said the joker to the thief
There's too much confusion
I can't get no relief

[muppy]

When I'm driving in my car
When a man come on the radio
He's telling me more and more
About some useless information
Supposed to fire my imagination

I can't get no, oh, no, no, no, hey, hey, hey
That's what I say

[WhoTom]

I'm driving in my car
I turn on the radio
I'm pulling you close
You just say no
You say you don't like it
But I know you're a liar
'Cause when we kiss
Oh, fire

[muppy]

Someone found a letter you wrote me on the radio
And they told the world just how you felt
It must have fallen out of a hole in your old brown overcoat
They never said your name
But I knew just who they meant

[PastaJoe]

I want a love that's right 
But right is only half of what's wrong
I want a short haired girl 
Who sometimes wears it twice as long
Now I'm stepping out this old brown shoe
Baby, I'm in love with you
I'm so glad you came here, it won't be the same now
I'm telling you

[muppy]

Some girl who'll thrill me and then go away
(I need a lover that won't drive me crazy)
Some girl that knows the meaning of ah-
Hey hit the highway!

[Son of a K-Gun]

They want you to be Jesus
Now go down on one knee
But they want their money back
If you're alive at thirty-three
And you're turning tricks
With your crucifix
You're a star
Ooh child

 

Of course you're not shy
You don't have to deny love
Hold me, thrill me, kiss me, kill me

[WhoTom]

You were caught in the crossfire of childhood and stardom
Blown on the steel breeze
Come on, you target for faraway laughter
Come on, you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine

[muppy]

I was born in a crossfire hurricane
And I howled at my 'ma in the driving rain

But it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas
But it's all right, I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash
It's a gas, gas, gas

[PastaJoe]

Now the fellas was ribbin' me for bein' behind,
So I thought I'd make the Lincoln unwind.
Took my foot off the gas and man alive,
I shoved it on down into overdrive.

[Bill from NYC]

Well this job Ive got is just a little too hard,
Running out of money, lord, I need more pay.
Gonna wake up in the morning lord, gonna pack my bags,
I'm gonna beat it on down the line.

 

I'm going down the line, going down the line,
Going down the line, going down the line,
Going down the line, going down the line,
Beat it on down the line.

[Joe Ferguson forever]

Further on up the road
You're gonna hurt someone like you hurt me
Further on up the road
Somebody's gonna hurt you like you hurt me
Further on up the road
Baby, you just wait and see

Now you're laughin' pretty baby
Someday you're gonna be cryin'
Now you're laughin' pretty baby
Someday you're gonna be cryin'
Further on up the road
You'll find out I wasn't lyin'

[WhoTom]

And someone saved my life tonight, sugar bear
You almost had your hooks in me, didn't you, dear?
You nearly had me roped and tied
Altar-bound, hypnotized, sweet freedom whispered in my ear
You're a butterfly, and butterflies are free to fly
Fly away, high away, bye-bye

[muppy]

I just can't believe
The loveliness of loving you
I just can't believe it's true
I just can't believe
The wonder of this feeling, too
I just can't believe it's true

 

***fingersnaps****

 

Ah, sugar
Oh, honey, honey
You are my candy girl
And you got me wanting you
