Lyrical Response

[Joe Ferguson forever]

Puppies

 

It's him or me that's what he said
But I can't choose between a vegan and a pot head
So I chose you because you're sweet
And you give me lots of lovin' and you eat meat

And that's how you became my only man of the hour

You never lie and you don't cheat
And you don't have any baggage tied to your four feet
Do I deserve to be the one who will feed you breakfast, lunch and dinner
And take you to the park at dawn

Will you really be my only man of the hour?

I know you'll never bring me flowers
Flowers they will only die
And though we'll never take a shower together
I know you'll never make me cry

You never argue, you don't even talk
And I like the way you let me lead you
When we go outside and walk

[cwater10]

You gotta be crazy, you gotta have a real need
You gotta sleep on your toes, and when you're on the street
You gotta be able to pick out the easy meat with your eyes closed
And then moving in silently, down wind and out of sight
You gotta strike when the moment is right without thinking

[muppy]

You won't regret it, no, no
Some girls they don't forget it
Love is their only happiness, yeah

 

But it's all so easy
All you gotta do is try, try a little tenderness, yeah
 

[cwater10]

These times are so uncertain
There's a yearning undefined
And people filled with rage
We all need a little tenderness
How can love survive in such a graceless age
The trust and self-assurance that lead to happiness
They're the very things we kill, I guess
Pride and competition cannot fill these empty arms
And the work I put between us,
You know it doesn't keep me warm

[WhoTom]

Well, I woke up this mornin'
And I got myself a beer
The future's uncertain
And the end is always near

[muppy]

… Early in the morning, risin' to the street
Light me up that cigarette, and I'll strap shoes on my feet
Got to find the reason, reason things went wrong
Got to find a reason why my money's all gone

 

[cwater10]

Nothin' shakin' on shakedown street, used to be the heart of town
Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart, you just gotta poke around

[WhoTom]

I ain't got no time for lovin'
'Cause my time is all used up
Just to sit around creatin'
All that groovy kind of stuff

[cwater10]

Anarchy for the UK
It's coming sometime and maybe
I give a wrong time stop a traffic line.
Your future dream is a shopping scheme
'Cause I wanna be anarchy,
It's in the city

 

How many ways to get what you want
I use the best I use the rest
I use the enemy
I use anarchy
'Cause I wanna be anarchy

[OGTEleven]

Now you're a good surveyor, Dixon
But I swear you'll make me mad
The West will kill us both
You gullible Geordie lad
You talk of liberty
How can America be free
A Geordie and a baker's boy
In the forests of the Iroquois

 

Now hold your head up, Mason
See America lies there
The morning tide has raised
The capes of Delaware
Come up and feel the sun
A new morning has begun
Another day will make it clear
Why your stars should guide us here

 

We are sailing to Philadelphia
A world away from the coaly Tyne
Sailing to Philadelphia
To draw the line
A Mason-Dixon Line

[cwater10]

'Cause I live and breathe this Philadelphia freedom
From the day that I was born, I've waved the flag
 

[PastaJoe]

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

[WhoTom]

Go to him he calls you, you can't refuse
When you ain't got nothing, you got nothing to lose
You're invisible now, you've got no secrets to conceal

[DD4Bills]

She seems to have an invisible touch, yeah
She reaches in, and grabs right hold of your heart
She seems to have an invisible touch, yeah
It takes control and slowly tears you apart

[WhoTom]

I'm the Gypsy, the Acid Queen
Pay before we start
I'm the Gypsy, I'm guaranteed
To tear your soul apart

 

[cwater10]

Now, when all of the bandits that you turn your other cheek to
All lay down their bandanas and complain
And you want somebody you don't have to speak to

Won't you come see me, Queen Jane?
Ah, won't you come see me, Queen Jane?

 

[PastaJoe]

Jane, you say it's all over 
For you and me girl
There's a time for love 
And a time for lettin' it be baby

Jane, you're playin' a game called 
Called "hard to get" by its real name
Makin' believe that you just don't feel the same
Oh Jane

[cwater10]

More than your eye can see and ears can hear
Year by year, all the sense disappears
Nonsense perseveres prayers laced with fear
Beware 2 triple O is near

 

It might feel good, it might sound a lil' somethin'
But damn the game if it don't mean nuttin'
What is game, who got game, where's the game in life?

Behind the game, behind the game

His eyes can see
His ears can hear

His lips speak
All the time the needles flick and rock
No machine can give the kind of stimulation
Needed to remove his inner block

 

[SinceThe70s]

Future complications
In the strings between the cans
But no prints can come from fingers
If machines become our hands
