Lyrical Response

[Joe Ferguson forever]

I want a girl with a mind like a diamond
I want a girl who knows what's best
I want a girl with shoes that cut
And eyes that burn like cigarettes

I want a girl with the right allocations
Who is fast, and thorough, and sharp as a tack
She's playing with her jewelry
She's putting up her hair
She's touring the facility
And picking up slack
I want a girl with a short skirt and a long jacket

I want a girl who gets up early (gets up early)
I want a girl who stays up late (stays up late)
I want a girl with uninterrupted prosperity (uninterrupted)
Who uses a machete, to cut through red tape

[WhoTom]

Slit skirts

Jeanie never wears those slit skirts
I don't ever wear no ripped shirts
Can't pretend that growing older never hurts.

[muppy]

Love hurts, love scars
Love wounds and marks
Any heart
Not tough or strong enough
To take a lot of pain, take a lot of pain
Love is like a cloud
Holds a lot of rain
Love hurts
Ooh, ooh, love hurts

[cwater10]

Well you said that we made such a pretty pair and that you would never leave
But you gave away the things you loved
And one of them was me
I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee clouds in my coffee and

[PastaJoe]

She's my pretty little poison
My heartache in the night
With a kiss on her lips just like cyanide
Yeah, she came with a warning
But I didn't mind
I'll go out on that high every time
She's my pretty little poison
My pretty little poison

[SinceThe70s]

Experiments that failed too many times
Transformations that were too hard to find
Poison's in my bloodstream
Poison's in my pride
I'm after rebellion
I'll settle for lies

[cwater10]

Oh yeah!
In France, a skinny man died of a big disease with a little name
By chance his girlfriend came across a needle and soon she did the same
At home there are seventeen-year-old boys and their idea of fun
Is being in a gang called 'The Disciples'
High on crack and totin' a machine gun

 

Time
Times

[WhoTom]

Down with disease
And I'm up before the dawn
A thousand barefoot children outside
Dancing on my lawn

[SinceThe70s]

I can't wait till my Fro is full-grown
I'll just throw 'way my Doo-Rag at home
I'll take a drive to BEVERLY HILLS
Just before dawn
An' knock the little jockeys
Off the rich people's lawn

[muppy]

Sometimes I'm right and I can be wrong
My own beliefs are in my song
The butcher, the banker, the drummer and then
Makes no difference what group I'm in

I am everyday people, yeah, yeah

[SinceThe70s]

Sometimes I laugh and sometimes I cry
Other times I sit and wonder why
Sometimes I'm up and sometimes I'm down
Other times I wanna blow this town

[Joe Ferguson forever]

All the leaves are brown (all the leaves are brown)
And the sky is gray (and the sky is gray)
I've been for a walk (I've been for a walk)
On a winter's day (on a winter's day)
I'd be safe and warm (I'd be safe and warm)
If I was in L.A. (if I was in L.A.)

California dreamin' (California dreamin')
On such a winter's day

Stopped into a church
I passed along the way
Well, I got down on my knees (got down on my knees)
And I pretend to pray (I pretend to pray)
You know the preacher like the cold (preacher like the cold)
He knows I'm gonna stay (knows I'm gonna stay)

[PastaJoe]

The sky is cryin'
Can't you see the tears roll down the street
The sky is cryin'
Can't you see the tears roll down the street
I've been lookin' for my baby
And I wonder where can she be

[SinceThe70s]

There's traffic in the sky
And it doesn't seem to be getting much better
There's kids playing games on the pavement
Drawing waves on the pavement, mm
Shadows of the planes on the pavement, mm

[Bill from NYC]

Surf's up
Aboard a tidal wave
Come about hard and join
the young and often spring you gave
I heard the word
Wonderful thing
A children's song

[WhoTom]

Say the word and you'll be free
Say the word and be like me
Say the word I'm thinking of
Have you heard the word is love?

[PastaJoe]

Free as a bird
It's the next best thing to be
Free as a bird
Home, home and dry
Like a homing bird I'll fly
As a bird on wings

[cwater10]

I wish that I could fly
Into the sky
So very high
Just like a dragonfly
I'd fly above the trees
Over the seas
In all degrees
To anywhere I please
Ohhhh!

[WhoTom]

And I'll climb
The hill in my own way
Just wait a while, for the right day
And as I rise above the treeline and the clouds
I look down, hearing the sound of the things you said today

[Joe Ferguson forever]

You had me several years ago when I was still quite naive
When you said that we made such a pretty pair
And that you would never leave

But you gave away the things you loved and one of them was me
I had some dreams, they were clouds in my coffee
Clouds in my coffee, and...
