Lyrical Response

[Bills4everNY]

Have you ever heard those opening lines?

You should leave this small town way behind

I'll be your partner, show you the steps 

With me behind, you're tasting of the sweet wine of success 

Cause I'll, I'll take you to the top

Baby, hey baby

 

[muppy]

All my friends are so small town
My parents live in the same small town
My job is so small town
Provides little opportunity, hey

[WhoTom]

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends

[PastaJoe]

Eight miles high, and when you touch down
You'll find that it's stranger than known
Signs in the street, that say where you're going
Are somewhere just being their own

[BillsFanNC]

Living in a fisheye lens
Caught in the camera eye
I have no heart to lie
I can’t pretend a stranger
Is a long-awaited friend

[WhoTom]

Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide,
No escape from reality

[without a drought]

So forget all that you see
It's not reality, it's just a fantasy

 

Can't you see what this crazy life is doin' to me, yeah?
Life is just a fantasy, can you live this fantasy life?
Life is just a fantasy, can you live this fantasy life?
Life is just a fantasy, can you live this fantasy life?
Life is just a fantasy, can you live this fantasy life?
I know, I know

[PastaJoe]

Dear Mister Fantasy play us a tune
Something to make us all happy
Do anything take us out of this gloom
Sing a song, play guitar
Make it snappy

[muppy]

Song sung blue
Everybody knows one
Song sung blue
Every garden grows one

Me and you are subject to the blues now and then
But when you take the blues and make a song
You sing them out again
Sing them out again

[PastaJoe]

Money talks
But it don't sing and dance and it don't walk
And long as I can have you here with me
I'd much rather be forever in blue jeans

[ExiledInIllinois]

Blue Jean
I just met a girl named Blue Jean
Blue Jean
She got a camouflaged face and no money
Remember
They always let you down when you need 'em...

 

 

[Joe Ferguson forever]

Whenever I see your smiling face
I have to smile myself
Because I love you, yes, I do
And when you give me that pretty little pout
It turns me inside out
There's something about you, baby
I don't know

Isn't it amazing a man like me
Can feel this way
Tell me how much longer
It could grow stronger every day
Oh, how much longer?

I thought I was in love a couple of times
Before with the girl next door
But that was long before I met you
Now I'm sure that I won't forget you

[muppy]

Some of them were dreamers
And some of them were fools
Who were making plans and thinking of the future
With the energy of the innocent
They were gathering the tools
They would need to make their journey back to nature
While the sand slipped through the opening
And their hands reached for the golden ring
With their hearts they turned to each other's hearts for refuge
In the troubled years that came before the deluge

 

[PastaJoe]

Leave your cares behind come with us and find
The pleasures of a journey to the center of the mind

Come along if you care
Come along if you dare
Take a ride to the land inside of your mind

[muppy]

 

If you look into the distance, there's a house upon the hill
Guiding like a lighthouse
It's a place where you'll be safe to feel our grace
'Cause we've all made mistakes
If you've lost your way

 

I will leave the light on
I will leave the light on
I will leave the light on
I will leave the light on

[cwater10]

Waking light, it grew from the shadow
Brace yourself to the morning low
Night is gone, long way turning
You've waited long enough to know

 

When the memory leaves you
Somewhere you can't make it home
When the morning comes to meet you
Lay me down in waking light

[DD4Bills]

All your eyes have ever seen
All you've ever heard
Is etched upon my memory
I spoken through my words

All that I take with me
Is all you've left behind
We're sharing one eternity
Living in two minds
Linked by an endless thread
Impossible to break

[PastaJoe]

To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
And to run where the brave dare not go

[WhoTom]

I'm drinking TNT, I'm smoking dynamite
I hope some screwball start a fight

[Joe Ferguson forever]

Every mornin' at the mine you could see him arrive
He stood six-foot-six and weighed two-forty-five
Kinda broad at the shoulder and narrow at the hip
And everybody knew ya didn't give no lip to big John
(Big John, big John)
Big bad John (big John)

Nobody seemed to know where John called home
He just drifted into town and stayed all alone
He didn't say much, kinda quiet and shy
And if you spoke at all, you just said, "Hi" to Big John

Somebody said he came from New Orleans
Where he got in a fight over a Cajun Queen
And a crashin' blow from a huge right hand
Sent a Louisiana fellow to the promised land, big John
(Big John, big John)
Big bad John (big John)

Then came the day at the bottom of the mine
When a timber cracked and men started cryin'
Miners were prayin' and hearts beat fast
And everybody thought that they'd breathed their last, 'cept John
