Lyrical Response

[PastaJoe]

They put a parking lot on a piece of land
When the supermarket used to stand
Before that they put up a bowling alley
On the site that used to be the local pally
That's where the big bands used to come and play
My sister went there on a Saturday

Come dancing
All her boyfriends used to come and call
Why not come dancing, it's only natural

[Bill from NYC]

I've got an answer
I'm going to fly away
What have I got to lose?
Will you come see me
Thursdays and Saturdays?
(Hey, hey, hey) What have you got to lose?

 

Chestnut brown canary
Ruby throated sparrow
Sing a song, don't be long
Thrill me to the marrow

[WhoTom]

You're a butterfly
And butterflies are free to fly
Fly away
High away
Bye bye

 

[Joe Ferguson forever]

Just a few more weary days and then
I'll fly away
To a land where joy shall never end
I'll fly away

I'll fly away, oh, Glory
I'll fly away
When I die, Hallelujah, by and by
I'll fly away

[WhoTom]

She said, "My breasts, they will always be open.
Baby, you can rest your weary head right on me."

[Gugny]

She said
"I know what it's like to be dead
I know what it is to be sad
And it's making me feel like I've never been born"

[DD4Bills]

Come bring me your softness
Comfort me through all this madness
Woman, don't you know with you I'm born again?

 

Come give me your sweetness
Now there's you, there is no weakness
Lying safe within your arms, I'm born again

[PastaJoe]

It was a long hot night
She made it easy, she made it feel right
But now it's over, the moment has gone
I followed my hands not my head, I know I was wrong

 

Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight

[SinceThe70s]

Hello, says my shaky voice, well, how are you doing
I start to stutter
Ah, can't you tell I'm doing fine
It was my baby talking, she's way down across the border
She says, I'm going to hurry to you, I've been a fool
And I'm tired of crying

Yeah, a long, long, long, hot summer night
As far as my eyes could see (as far, as far as I could see)
But I can feel the heat coming on as my baby's getting closer

[muppy]

It's been a hard day's night, and I've been working like a dog
It's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a log
But when I get home to you I find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright
 

[DD4Bills]

In the dog days
People look to Sirius
Dogs cry for the moon
But those connections are mysterious

 

It seems to me
While it's true that every dog will have his day
When all the bones are buried
There is barely time to go outside and play

[WhoTom]

So I don't feel alone or the weight of the stone
Now that I've found somewhere safe to bury my bone
And any fool knows a dog needs a home
A shelter from pigs on the wing

[Bill from NYC]

So I give you my eyes, and all of their lies
Please help them to learn as well as to see
Capture a glance and make it a dance
Of looking at you looking at me

 

The black-throated wind keeps on pouring in
With its words of a lie that could almost be true
Ah Mother American Night, here comes the light
I'm turning around, that's what I'm gonna do

 

Goin' back home that's what I'm gonna do

You wake up in the middle of the night.
Your sheets are wet and your face is white,
You tried to make a good thing last,
How could something so good, go bad, so fast?

American dream, American dream
American dream, American dream.

[DD4Bills]

In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
From the mountains of faith
To the river so deep
I must be looking for something
Something sacred I lost
But the river is wide
And it's too hard to cross

[WhoTom]

You shout in your sleep
Perhaps the price is just too steep
Is your conscience at rest
If once put to the test

 

[muppy]

It's much too late, to save myself from falling

I took a chance, and changed the way of life

But you misread, my meaning when I met you

Closed the door, and left me blinded by the light

 

[Bill from NYC]

Well my mind is goin' through them changes
I think i'm goin' out of my mind
Every time you see me goin' some where
I think I could commit a crime

She had me runnin'
She had me cryin'
She had me runnin'
She had me had me had me cryin'

[WhoTom]

When I first met you, didn't realize
I can't forget you or your surprise
You introduced me to my mind
And left me wanting you and your kind

 

[muppy]

Looking out on the morning rain (hohoo)
I used to feel so uninspired (hohoo)
And when I knew I had to face another day (hohoo)
Lord, it made me feel so tired

Before the day I met you, life was so unkind
And you're the key to my peace of mind

'Cause you make me feel, you make me feel
You make me feel like a natural woman (woman)
