Lyrical Response

[Joe Ferguson forever]

Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes
Each one she passes goes, "Ah"

When she walks, she's like a samba
That swings so cool and sways so gently
That when she passes
Each one she passes goes, "Ah"

Oh, but he watches her so sadly
How can he tell her he loves her?
Yes, he would give his heart gladly
But each day, when she walks to the sea
She looks straight ahead, not at he

 

Olha que coisa mais linda
Mais cheia de graça
É ela menina
Que vem e que passa
Num doce balanço, a caminho do mar

Her daddy gave her magic
I can tell by the way she walks
Every time she starts to shakin'
The dumb begin to talk

 

[PastaJoe]

This magic moment, so different and so new
But like any other until I kissed you
And then it happened
It took me by surprise
I knew that you felt it too by the look in your eyes

[muppy]

One, two, three, four walking like a man
Hitting like a hammer
She's a juvenile scam
Never was a quitter
Tasty like a raindrop
She's got the look

[DD4Bills]

Now she's a cool, cool black
She moves like a cat
If you don't get her game
Well, you might not make it back

She's got the looks that kill

[WhoTom]

And if you don't expect too much from me
You might not be let down

[OGTEleven]

Oh the iron will and the iron hand
In England's green and pleasant land
No music for the shameful scene
That night they said it had even shocked the queen

Well alas we've seen it all before
Knights in armour, days of yore
The same old fears and the same old crimes
We haven't changed since ancient times

[Bill from NYC]

Dressed myself in green
I went down to the sea
Try to see what's going down
Maybe read between the lines

Had a feeling I was falling, falling, falling

Turned around to see
Heard a voice calling, calling, calling
You was comin after me
Back to me

[OGTEleven]

Well, I'd sooner forget, but I remember those nights
Yeah, life was just a bet on a race between the lights
You had your head on my shoulder, you had your hand in my hair
Now you act a little colder like you don't seem to care

But just believe in me, baby, and I'll take you away
From out of this darkness and into the day
From these rivers of headlights, these rivers of rain
From the anger that lives on the streets with these names
'Cause I've run every red light on memory lane
I've seen desperation explode into flames
And I don't want to see it again

From all of these signs saying, "Sorry, but we're closed"
All the way

Down the Telegraph Road

[WhoTom]

And the sign said "Long-haired freaky people
Need not apply"
So I tucked my hair up under my hat
And I went in to ask him why

[PastaJoe]

I saw the sign and it opened up my eyes
I saw the sign
Life is demanding without understanding
I saw the sign and it opened up my eyes
I saw the sign
No one's gonna drag you up
To get into the light where you belong
But where do you belong?

I've got signs and signifiers
Gossipers and liars
Twist me every way they wanna go
What looks like a raging fire
Are your dreams and desires
Endin' up like ashes on the ground
If you'll consider me a chance
To falter through our dance
Then the other ones may just leave us alone

Oooooooooo I made a really sacred vow
To never ever do without
And be with you
Until our time is runnin' out

You gotta go where you want to go

Do what you want to do

With whoever you want to do it with

 

You don't understand

That a girl like me can love just one man

Three thousand miles, that's how far you'll go

And you said to me please don't follow

[Bills4everNY]

Gabba Gabba

We accept you

We accept you

One of us 

I don't wanna be a pinhead no more

I just met a nurse that I could go for 

 

[muppy]

you let me violate you
you let me desecrate you
you let me penetrate you
you let me complicate you
 

[WhoTom]

I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

[muppy]

The rain is falling through the mist
Of sorrow that surrounded me
The sun could never thaw away
The bliss that lays around me

 

Let it rain, let it rain
Let your love rain down on me
Let it rain, let it rain
Let it rain, rain, rain

[PastaJoe]

Only love can make it rain
The way the beach is kissed by the sea
Only love can make it rain
Like the sweat of lovers layin' in the fields

 

Love, reign o'er me
Love, reign o'er me
Rain on me, rain on me

[LeviF]

I had a dream about you once
I could barely see your form
And I met you between the wax and the needle
In the words of my favorite song

And your black hair was like a raven
With your tan skin on the beach
And your backdrop were the Auroras

And my sidekick was all this grief
And I been so low down, I been almost level with the ground

[Joe Ferguson forever]

Sweet dreams 'til sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams, whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me

Stars fading but I linger on, dear
Still craving your kiss
I'm longing to linger 'til dawn, dear
Just saying this
