Lyrical Response

[muppy]

… Do-do-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, yeah, yeah
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, yeah, yeah

 

… Watching girls go passing by
It ain't the latest thing
I'm just standing in a doorway
I'm just trying to make some sense

 

… I love these girls who're passing by
The tales they tell of men
I'm not waiting on a lady
I'm just waiting, oh, on a friend

[Joe Ferguson forever]

There the morning rain don't fall and the sun always shines
She'll be flying over my home in about three hours time

This old airport's got me down, it's no earthly good to me
And I'm stuck here on the ground as cold and drunk as I can be
You can't jump a jet plane like you can a freight train
So, I'd best be on my way in the early morning rain

You can't jump a jet plane like you can a freight train
So, I'd best be on my way in the early morning rain

 

[Bill from NYC]

I do not love for silver
Do not love for gold
My heart is mine to give away
It never will be sold

 

So baby, the rain must fall
Baby, the wind must blow
Wherever my heart leads me
Baby, I must go
Baby, I must go

[WhoTom]

Hangman, hangman, hold it a little while
Think I see my friends coming
Riding a many mile
Friends did you get some silver?
Did you get a little gold?
What did you bring me my dear friends
To keep me from the gallows pole?
What did you bring me to keep me from the gallows pole?

[Gugny]

My friends are so depressed
I fear the question of your loneliness
Confide, 'cause I'll be on your side
You know I will
 

[muppy]

… Blame it all on my roots, I showed up in boots
And ruined your black tie affair
The last one to know, the last one to show
I was the last one you thought you'd see there

 

… And I saw the surprise and the fear in his eyes
When I took his glass of champagne
And I toasted you, said, "Honey, we may be through
But you'll never hear me complain"

 

… 'Cause I've got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases my blues away
And I'll be OK
 

[cwater10]

I do believe it's working, good
That'll keep you going through the show
Come on, it's time to go

[The Real Buffalo Joe]

It's a big job gettin' by with nine kids and a wife
Even I've been workin' man, dang near all my life but I'll keep workin'
As long as my two hands are fit to use
I'll drink my beer in a tavern
And sing a little bit of these working man blues

[muppy]

All my life, I've been searching for something
Something never comes, never leads to nothing
Nothing satisfies but I'm getting close
Closer to the prize at the end of the rope

All night long I dream of the day
When it comes around and it's taken away
Leaves me with the feeling that I feel the most
Feel it come to life when I see your ghost
 

[cwater10]

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
 

[SinceThe70s]

… Happy with no teeth
Happy here in hibernation
Slurpin' on a peach
Starin' at the situation
Kitty at my foot
Meowin' out a conversation
Rockin' back and forth
That's my only destination

 

… Old man on the back porch
Old man on the back porch
Old man on the back porch
And that old man is me

[muppy]

I've been trying to get down
To the heart of the matter
But everything changes
And my friends seem to scatter
But I think it's about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore

[cwater10]

And I could have done so many things, baby
If I could only stop my mind
From wondering what I left behind
And from worrying about this wasted time

 

The love has come and gone
The years keep rushing on
I remember what you told me
Before you went out on your own
Sometimes to keep it together
You got to leave it alone

 

So you can get on with your search, baby
And I can get on with mine
Maybe someday we will find
That it wasn't really wasted time

[muppy]

You've got to give it to me
You've got to give it to me
You've got to give it to me
You've got to give it to me

 

You're so slick now, know every trick now
You know I want it, I want it so bad
You know I need it, I can't believe it
So come on baby, Please relieve it

[cwater10]

There's a club if you'd like to go
You could meet somebody who really loves you
So you go and you stand on your own
And you leave on your own
And you go home and you cry
And you want to die

 

When you say it's gonna happen now
When exactly do you mean?
See I've already waited too long
And all my hope is gone

[PastaJoe]

My girl, she was the world to me
She's gone, and that's a tragedy
My girl, is just a memory
She's been so long away

[Joe Ferguson forever]

Lying in my bed, I hear the clock tick and think of you
Caught up in circles
Confusion is nothing new
Flashback, warm nights
Almost left behind
Suitcase of memories
Time after

Sometimes you picture me
I'm walking too far ahead
You're calling to me, I can't hear
What you've said
Then you say, "go slow"
And I fall behind
The second hand unwinds

If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time

Now the time has come (Time)
There's no place to run (Time)
I might get burned up by the sun (Time)
But I had my fun (Time)
I've been loved and put aside (Time)
I've been crushed by the tumbling tide (Time)
And my soul has been psychedelicized (Time)

[muppy]

I, I've been watching you
I think I wanna know ya (Know ya)
Said I, I'm a little dangerous
Girl, I'd love to show ya (Show ya)

My jungle love, yeah (Oh-we-oh-we-oh)
I think I wanna know ya (Know ya)
Jungle love (Oh-we-oh-we-oh)
Girl, I'd love to show ya (Show ya)

[Bill from NYC]

Learn to work the saxophone
(I) I play just what I feel
Drink Scotch whiskey all night long
And die behind the wheel
They got a name for the winners in the world
(I) I want a name when I lose
They call Alabama the Crimson Tide
Call me Deacon Blues
(Deacon Blues)
