Lyrical Response

[Joe Ferguson forever]

Well Karen she's a silver sun
You best walk her way and watch it shinin'
Watch her watch the mornin' come
A silver tear appearing, now I'm cryin'
Ain't I goin' to Carolina in my mind

 

There ain't no doubt it no one;s mind
That love's the finest thing around
Whisper something soft and kind
Yes and hey babe the sky's on fire, I'm dyin'
Ain't I goin' to Carolina in my mind

 

[PastaJoe]

Bang! Bang! Maxwell's silver hammer
Came down upon her head
Clang! Clang! Maxwell's silver hammer
Made sure that she was dead

[WhoTom]

I always said he'd come to no good
In the end your honor
If they'd let me have my way

I could have flayed him into shape
But my hands were tied
The bleeding hearts and artists
Let him get away with murder
Let me hammer him today?

[Joe Ferguson forever]

I've been to Hollywood
I've been to Redwood
I crossed the ocean
For a heart of gold
I've been in my mind
It's such a fine line
That keeps me searching
For a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
Keeps me searching
For a heart of gold
And I'm getting old

[Gugny]

Some people tell me
Home is in the sky
In the sky lives a spy
I want to be more like the ocean
No talking
All action...

[PastaJoe]

The sky is crying
Can't you see the tears roll down the street
The sky is crying
Can't you see the tears roll down the street
I've been looking for my baby
And I wonder where can she be

[muppy]

Newspapers ask intimate questions
Want confessions
They reach into my head
To steal the glory of my story

They say I must be one of the wonders
God's own creation
And as far as they see they can offer
No explanation

[PastaJoe]

In my midnight confessions
When I tell all the world that I love you
In my midnight confessions
When I say all the things that I want to
I love you

[muppy]

After midnight
We're gonna let it all hang out
After midnight
We're gonna chug-a-lug and shout
We're gonna 'cause talk and suspicion
Give an exhibition
Find out what it is all about

[Joe Ferguson forever]

Pictures at an Exhibition

Emerson, Lake & Palmer

Lead me from tortured dreams
Childhood themes of nights alone,
Wipe away endless years,
Childhood tears as dry as stone.

From seeds of confusion,
Illusions darks blossoms have grown.
Even now in furrows of sorrow
The dance still is sung.

My life's course is guided
Decided by limits drawn
On charts of my past days
And pathways since I was born.

[PastaJoe]

Oh, great googa-looga, can't you hear me talking to you
Just a ball of confusion
Oh yeah, that's what the world is today
Woo, hey

[Joe Ferguson forever]

We're far from home, it's for the better
What we dream, it's all that matters
We're on our way, united

Turn the crowd up now, we'll never back down
Shoot down a skyline, watch it in prime time
Turn up the love now, listen up now, turn up the love

Who's gonna save the world tonight?
Who's gonna bring you back to life?
We're gonna make it, you and I
We're gonna save the world tonight

 

[muppy]

 

Turn the beat around (turn it around)
Love to hear the percussion (yeah yeah yeah)
Turn it upside down
Love to hear the percussion
Love to hear it (got to hear it)

[WhoTom]

Just let me hear some of that rock and roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a backbeat, you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be rock-roll music
If you wanna dance with me

[Gugny]

Dance with me
I want to be your partner
Can't you see?
The music is just starting
Night is calling, and I am falling
Dance with me

[WhoTom]

Is it me?
For a moment
The stars are falling
The heat is rising
The past is calling
 

[PastaJoe]

Do you remember when we used to dance
And incidents arose from circumstance
One thing led to another we were young
And we would scream together songs unsung

It was the heat of the moment
Telling me what my heart meant
The heat of the moment showed in your eyes

[muppy]

I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.

 

I hope you dance... I hope you dance...

[WhoTom]

Is that you?
Look across the ocean
Is that you
Thinkin' nothin' is really there?
Is that you
Waiting for the sunshine?
Is that you
When all you see is glare?
And I hope you're feelin' better
Yes, I hope you're feelin' good
Yes, I hope you're feelin' better

[Gugny]

I've been waiting so long
To be where I'm going
In the sunshine of your love
