Lyrical Response

[muppy]

Black velvet and that little boy's smile
Black velvet with that slow southern style
A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees
Black velvet if you please

[cwater10]

Get up off your knees
You can wag your finger till your finger's sore
Shake your head till it shakes no more

 

Paupers will be paupers, bankers will be bankers
Some own pennies in a jar, some own oil tankers
What may sound like tomorrow could be ours today
There's no more need for sorrow if we get off our knees to pray

But it suddenly comes after years of delay
You pick up your guitar, you can suddenly play
When your fingers are bleeding and the knuckles are white
Then you can be sure, you can open the door
Get off of the floor tonight
You have something to write

 

[cwater10]

Bitter fingers never swung on swinging stars, swinging stars

 

I like the warm blue flame, the hazy heat it brings
It loosens up the muscles and forces you to sing  

[SinceThe70s]

Conscience was related
Man he was created
Lady luck took him by surprise
A sweet and bitter fruit it surely opened his eyes

[Joe Ferguson forever]

It's life, it's life, it's life
It's life, it's life, it's life
It's life, it's life, it's life

Happiness, more or less
It's just a change in me, something in my liberty
Oh, my, my
Happiness, coming and going
I watch you look at me, and watch my fever grow
And I know just where I am

But how many corners do I have to turn?
How many times do I have to learn
All the love I have is in my mind?

But I'm a lucky man
With fire in my hands

I told Althea
I'm a roving sign
That I was born to be a bachelor
Althea told me, "OK. That's fine."
So now I'm out trying to catch her

 

Can't talk to you without talking to me
We're guilty of the same old thing
Talking a lot about less and less
And forgetting the love we bring

[muppy]

Lord, I was born a ramblin' man
Tryin' to make a livin' and doin' the best I can
And when it's time for leavin'
I hope you'll understand
That I was born a ramblin' man

[SinceThe70s]

I was born my papa's son
When I hit the ground I was on the run

[cwater10]

How could you just leave me standing
Alone in a world so cold? (World so cold)
Maybe I'm just too demanding
Maybe I'm just like my father, too bold
Maybe you're just like my mother
She's never satisfied (she's never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other?
This is what it sounds like 
When doves cry

[Joe Ferguson forever]

It's my own design
It's my own remorse
Help me to decide
Help me make the

[Chorus]
Most of freedom and of pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to rule the world

[PastaJoe]

Yesterday is dead and gone
And tomorrow's out of sight
And it's sad to be alone
Help me make it through the night

[muppy]

Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being 'round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please, please help me

[cwater10]

Oh won't you stay
Just a little bit longer
Please please please, say you will
Say you will

 

Oh won't you stay
Just a little bit longer
Oh please please please stay
just a little bit long

 

I bet promotors don't mind
And the roadies don't mind
If we take a little time
And we leave this all behind
Singing one more song

[PastaJoe]

I don't want to sound complaining
But you know there's always rain in my heart (in my heart)
I do all the pleasing with you
It's so hard to reason with you
Whoa, yeah, why do you make me blue?

Last night I said these words to my girl
I know you never even try, girl

Come on (come on)
Come on (come on)
Come on (come on)
Come on (come on)
Please, please me, whoa, yeah, like I please you

[WhoTom]

Come on, come on, come on, come on
Now touch me, babe
Can't you see that I am not afraid?

[cwater10]

Old King Cole was a merry old soul,
And a merry old soul was he.
So he called for his pipe,
And he called for his bowl,
And he called for his fiddlers three.

 

But the clock, tick-tock,
On the mantlepiece -
And I want, and I feel, and I know, and I touch,
Her warmth...

[muppy]

Call me the breeze
I keep blowing down the road
Well now they call me the breeze
I keep blowing down the road
I ain't got me nobody
I don't carry me no load

[cwater10]

Freedom is just another word for nothin' left to lose
Nothin', don't mean nothin' hon' if it ain't free, no-no
And feelin' good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues
You know feelin' good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee

[muppy]

Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
You've gotta give
For what you take
