Lyrical Response

[Gray Beard]

Heartbreaker
You mean misery maker
Miss Evil
You know you done me wrong
Heartbreaker
You professional faker
Mistreater
I'm telling you so long

H-E-A-R-T breaker look what you done
You broke my heart and away you did run
But now I'm high and dry and out of the rain
So don't come back and try to wet me again

[SinceThe70s]

Out of the rain, under the shelter
I've been so long where the sun don't shine
Standing at the cross-roads, could have went either way
But now I've found you and the storm is behind

 

 

[WhoTom]

 

'Twas in another lifetime, one of toil and blood.
When blackness was a virtue the road was full of mud.
I came in from the wilderness, a creature void of form.
"Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm."

[Gray Beard]

Oh, a storm is threat'ning
My very life today
If I don't get some shelter
Oh yeah, I'm gonna fade away

 

War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away

 

Ooh, see the fire is sweepin'
Our very street today
Burns like a red coal carpet
Mad bull lost its way

[SinceThe70s]

Weapons not food, not homes, not shoes
Not need, just feed the war cannibal animal
I walk the corner to the rubble that used to be a library
Line up to the mind cemetery now
What we don't know keeps the contracts alive an movin'
They don't gotta burn the books they just remove 'em
While arms warehouses fill as quick as the cells
Rally round the family, pockets full of shells

Rally round the family! With a pocket full of shells
They rally round the family! With a pocket full of shells
They rally round the family! With a pocket full of shells
They rally round the family! With a pocket full of shells

Bulls on parade

[ExiledInIllinois]

I don't believe in guarded borders and I don't believe in hate
I don't believe in generals or their stinking torture states
And when I talk with the survivors of things too sickening to relate
If I had a rocket launcher...I would retaliate

On the Rio Lacantun, one hundred thousand wait
To fall down from starvation - or some less humane fate
Cry for guatemala, with a corpse in every gate
If I had a rocket launcher...I would not hesitate

I want to raise every voice - at least I've got to try
Every time I think about it water rises to my eyes.
Situation desperate, echoes of the victims cry
If I had a rocket launcher...Some son of a B word would die

[Gray Beard]

Well, I went home with the waitress
You know the way I always do
Well how was I to know
She was with the Russians, too

 

I was gambling in Havana
You know I took a little risk
Send lawyers, guns and money
Daddy, won't you get me out of this

 

I'm an innocent bystander
Somehow I got stuck
Between a rock and a hard place
And I'm down on my luck
Oh yea, I'm down on my luck
Oh yea, I'm down on my luck
Oh baby, I'm down on my luck
I'm so far down, I don't think I'll ever get up
If it weren't for bad luck
Oh if it weren't for bad luck
I wouldn't have no luck at all

[Another Fan]

Havana, ooh na-na (ay)
Half of my heart is in Havana, ooh-na-na (ay, ay)
He took me back to East Atlanta, na-na-na
Oh, but my heart is in Havana (ay)
There's somethin' 'bout his manners (uh huh)
Havana, ooh na-na (uh)

[ExiledInIllinois]

For your love 
When I think about those nights in Montreal
I get the sweetest thoughts of you and me
Memories of love above the city lights
Ooh, I tried so hard to take it
But oh Lord my heart won't make it

I just wanna stop
And tell you what I feel about you babe
I just wanna stop
I never wanna live without you babe
I just gotta stop
For your love

[Gugny]

For your love
For your love

I'd give you everything and more and that's for sure
(For your love)
I'd bring you diamond rings and things right to your door
(For your love)

To thrill you with delight,
I'd give you diamonds bright
Double takes I will excite,
Make you dream of me at night

 

For your love .......

 

 

[Gray Beard]

Who wants to buy this diamond ring?
She took it off her finger, now it doesn't mean a thing
This diamond ring doesn't shine for me anymore
And this diamond ring doesn't mean what it meant before
So if you've got someone whose love is true
Let it shine for you

 

This stone is genuine like love should be
And if your baby's truer than my baby was to me
This diamond ring can mean something beautiful
And this diamond ring can mean dreams that are coming true
And then your heart won't have to break like mine did
If there's love behind it

[WhoTom]

Thirty two teeth in a jawbone
Alabama cryin' for none
Before I have to hit him
I hope he's got the sense to run

Reason those poor girls love him
Promise them anything
Reason they believe him
He wears a big diamond ring

 

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

[Gray Beard]

And when I see the sign that points one way
The lot we used to pass by every day

 

Just walk away Renee
You won't see me follow you back home
The empty sidewalks on my block are not the same
You're not to blame

 

From deep inside the tears that I'm forced to cry
From deep inside the pain that I chose to hide

 

Just walk away Renee
You won't see me follow you back home
Now as the rain beats down upon my weary eyes
For me it cries

[WhoTom]

Seems to me
You don't want to talk about it
Seems to me
You just turn your pretty head and walk away

 

 

[Gray Beard]

You keep saying you got something for me
Something you call love but confess
You've been a'messin' where you shouldn't 've been a'messin'
And now someone else is getting all your best

 

These boots are made for walking
And that's just what they'll do
One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you

 

You keep lyin' when you oughta be truthin'
You keep losing when you oughta not bet
You keep samin' when you oughta be a'changin'
Now what's right is right but you ain't been right yet

[WhoTom]

Well I ain't often right but I've never been wrong
It seldom turns out the way it does in the song

Once in a while, you get shown the light
In the strangest of places if you look at it right

 

[ExiledInIllinois]

There's a dark and a troubled side of life
There's a bright and a sunny side too
Though we meet with the darkness and strife
The sunny side we also may view
Keep on the sunny side, always on the sunny side
Keep on the sunny side of life
It will help us every day, it will brighten all the way
If we keep on the sunny side of life
The storm and its fury break today
Crushing hopes that we cherish so dear
Clouds and storms will in time pass away
The sun again will shine bright and clear
Keep on the sunny side of life
It will help us every day, it will brighten all the way
If we keep on the sunny side of life
Let us greet with the song of hope each day
Though the moment be cloudy or fair
Let us trust in our savior always
Who keepeth everyone in his care
Keep on the sunny side, always on the sunny side
Keep on the sunny side of life
It will help us every day, it will brighten all the way
If we keep on the sunny side of life

need more Bruce:

 

They're getting prepared to haul a car out of the river
Noise and smoke and concrete seem to be going on forever
Grinding gears and drivers getting high on exhaust
I'm thinking about the water down below and what got lost

 

Pachinko jingle and space torpedo beams
Comic book violence and escaping steam
Grey suited business men pissing against the wall
Cut to crumbling guardrail, slow motions car fall

 

Oh Tokyo, I never can sleep in your arms
Mind keeps on ringing like a fire alarm
Me and all these other dice bouncing around in the cup
Did you have to show me that accident scene
Didn't I get enough shaking up?
Still I'm gonna miss you

[ExiledInIllinois]

My tires were slashed and i almost crashed but the lord had mercy
My machine she's a dud out stuck in the mud somewhere in the swamps of jersey

[WhoTom]

Nobody gonna take my car
I'm gonna race it to the ground
Nobody gonna beat my car
It's gonna break the speed of sound

Oooh it's a killing machine
It's got everything
Like a driving power big fat tires
And everything

 

I love it and I need it
I bleed it
Yeah it's a wild hurricane
Alright hold tight
I'm a highway star
