Lyrical Response

[row_33]

You live your life in the songs you hear
On the rock and roll radio
And when a young girl doesn't have any friends
That's a really nice place to go
Folks hoping you'd turn out cool
But they had to take you out of school
You're a little touched you know, Angie baby

[Gray Beard]

Angie, Angie
When will those dark clouds all disappear
Angie, Angie
Where will it lead us from here
With no lovin' in our souls
And no money in our coats
You can't say we're satisfied
Angie, Angie

 

You can't say we never tried
Angie, you're beautiful
But ain't it time we say goodbye
Angie, I still love you
Remember all those nights we cried
All the dreams were held so close
Seemed to all go up in smoke
Let me whisper in your ear
Angie, Angie

[WhoTom]

What I like about you, you keep me warm at night
Never wanna' let you go, know you make me feel alright, yea

Keep on whispering in my ear
Tell me all the things that I wanna' to hear, 'cause that's true
That's what I like about you
That's what I like about you

Went out walkin' through the wood the other day
And the world was a carpet laid before me
The buds were bursting and the air smelled sweet and strange
Seemed about a hundred years ago

[Gray Beard]

I'm walkin', yes indeed, and I'm talkin' 'bout you and me
I'm hopin' that you'll come back to me
I'm lonely as I can be, I'm waitin' for your company
I'm hopin' that you'll come back to me
What 'ya gonna do when the well runs dry?
You're gonna run away and hide
I'm gonna run right by your side, for you pretty baby I'll even die
I'm walkin', yes indeed, I'm talkin' 'bout you and me
I'm hopin' that you'll come back to me

[SinceThe70s]

Everybody wants to know where jimmy has gone
He left town, i doubt if he's coming back home

Well tony got a job, three kids and a lovely wife
Working at the commerce bank for the rest of his life

 

Nobody left to run with anymore
Nobody left to do the crazy things we used to do before

[ExiledInIllinois]

Police walked in for Jimmy Jazz
I said, he ain't here but he sure went past
Oh, you're lookin' for Jimmy Jazz
Yea, I said

Sattamassagana for Jimmy Dread
Cut off his ears and chop off his head
Police come lookin' for
Jimmy Jazz, Jazz, Jazz, Jazz

So if you're gonna take a message 'cross this town
Maybe put it down somewhere over the other side
See it gets to Jimmy Jazz, Jazz
Said

So Jazz tell me now
The police came in they said
"Now, where's Jimmy Jazz?"
I said, "Hmm, he was here but, uh"
He said "He went out
Who is it they're looking for?"
Jimmy Jazz, Jazz, Jazz, Jazz aey

Sattamassagana for Jimmy Dread
Cut off his ears and they'll chop off his head
Oh you're looking for Jimmy Jazz
Jazz, Jazz, Jazz

What a relief!
I feel like a soldier
Look like a thief!
It's for the Jazz

Listen to me, lookin' for the Jimmy Jazz
He came here and went above
[Incomprehensible]
Jimmy Jazz, Jimmy Jazz
In fact

Don't you bother me, not anymore
I can't take this tale, oh no more
It's all around, Jimmy Jazz, Jazz
J J zee zee, J A Z Z, zee zee zee
J A Z Z, J A Z Z, J A Z, Jimmy Jazz

And then it sucks
He said, "Suck that"
So go look, all around
You can try your luck, brother
And see what you found
But I guarantee you
That it ain't your day, your day
It ain't your day
Chop, chop

Laugh and say I'm green
I've seen things you'll never see
Talk behind my back
I'm off the beaten track
I'll take on anyone
Ain't scared of a bloody nose
Drink 'til I drop down
With one eye on my clothes

[Gray Beard]

I hate to say it but I told you so, don't mind my preachin' to you
I said "don't trust 'em, baby" now you know
You don't know ev'rything there is to know in school.
Wouldn't believe me when I gave advice, I said that he was a tease
If you want help you better ask me now
So be sincere, convince me with a "pretty please"

 

Laugh, laugh, I thought I'd die
It seemed so funny to me
Laugh, laugh you met a guy who taught you how it feels to be
Lonely, oh so lonely

 

Don't think I'm bein' funny when I say you got just what you deserve
I can't help feeling you found out today
You thought you were too good you got a lot of nerve

Won't say I'm sorry for the things I said. I'm glad he packed up to go
You kept on braggin' he was yours instead
Found you don't know ev'rything there is to know

[SinceThe70s]

Everyone who sees you thinks you should be smiling
That girl she's so pretty, that girl she's so beguiling
Everyone who sees you thinks you should be happy
Thinks you should coo-coo her and start acting all sappy

 

But it's

Hard to laugh when you know that she's been cheating
Had her
Hands around him and she's been giving it a beating
We'll it's
Hard to laugh when you know that she's been lying
But you
Got to laugh to prevent yourself from crying

[Gray Beard]

Don't want your love anymore
Don't want your kisses, that's for sure
I die each time I hear this sound
Here he comes, that's Cathy's clown

 

I gotta stand tall
You know a man can't crawl
When he knows you're tellin' lies and he hears 'em passing by
He's not a man at all

[ExiledInIllinois]

[But, I need your love]:

 

 

Josie's on a vacation far away
Come around and talk it over
So many things that I wanna say
You know I like my girls a little bit older

I just wanna use your love tonight
I don't wanna lose your love tonight

I ain't got many friends left to talk to
No one's around when I'm in trouble
You know I'd do anything for you
Stay the night, but keep it undercover

I just wanna use your love tonight, oh
I don't wanna lose your love tonight

Try to stop my hands from shakin'
'Cause somethin' in my mind's not makin' sense
It's been a while since we've been all alone
I can't hide the way I'm feelin'

As you're leavin' please, would you close the door?
And don't forget what I told you
Just 'cause you're right, don't mean I'm wrong
Another shoulder to cry upon

I just wanna use your love tonight
I don't wanna lose your love tonight, yeah

[WhoTom]

I don't want you, cook my bread,
I don't want you, make my bed,
I don't want your money too
I just want to make love to you

I don't want you, be no slave
I don't want you, work all day
I don't want you to be sad and blue
I just want to make love to you

 

[SinceThe70s]

Twenty-four hours a day
Hey, why don't you go down to the supermarket?
Get something to eat, steal something off the shelves
Pass by the liquor store, be back about quarter to twelve

 

Don't wanna be your slave

[PastaJoe]

You were workin' as a waitress in a cocktail bar
When I met you
I picked you out, I shook you up and turned you around
Turned you into someone new
Now five years later on, you've got the world at your feet
Success has been so easy for you
But don't forget, it's me who put you where you are now
And I can put you back down too

 

Don't, don't you want me?
You know I can't believe it when I hear that you won't see me
Don't, don't you want me?
You know I don't believe you when you say that you don't need me
It's much too late to find
You think you've changed your mind
You'd better change it back or we will both be sorry

 

Don't you want me, baby?
Don't you want me? Oh
Don't you want me, baby?
Don't you want me? Oh

[Gray Beard]

I want you to want me
I need you to need me
I'd love you to love me
I'm beggin' you to beg me
I want you to want me
I need you to need me
I'd love you to love me

I'll shine up my old brown shoes
I'll put on a brand new shirt
I'll get home early from work
If you say that you love me

Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I
See you cryin' (cryin, cryin')
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I
See you cryin' (cryin, cryin')
Feelin' all alone without a friend 
You know you feel like dyin' (dyin', dyin')
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I
See you cryin' (cryin', cryin')

[WhoTom]

Well, I'm sittin' here so lonely, feelin' oh so blue
My baby's tryin' to mistreat me and I don't know what to do
So I'm cryin' Why do I have to feel this way?
If I can't love my baby I can't live another day

 

Yeah, I've loved her for such a long time, to end it all this way
Sittin' here so lonely, tears keep fallin' just like rain
So I'm cryin' Why do I have to feel this way?
If I can't love my baby I can't live another day

 

 

[SinceThe70s]

Had a dad
Big and strong
Turned around
Found my daddy gone
He was the one
Made me what I am today
It's up to me now
My daddy has gone away...

[WhoTom]

I took a trip
A trip with my dad
I packed the lunches
He scored the tabs
We took his wagon
And all of my tapes
The road was our planet
And we were the apes

We started in the valley
And headed for the clouds
We left behind mother
You know that three is a crowd

I took a trip with my dad
You know it made us both feel better
We talked a lot about the things we had
When I took a trip
A trip with my dad

[Gray Beard]

And he said, "Son, this world is rough
And if a man's gonna make it, he's gotta be tough
And I know I wouldn't be there to help ya along
So I give ya that name and I said goodbye
I knew you'd have to get tough or die
And it's the name that helped to make you strong"

 

Yeah he said, "Now you just fought one hell of a fight
And I know you hate me, and you got the right
To kill me now, and I wouldn't blame you if you do
But ya ought to thank me, before I die
For the gravel in ya guts and the spit in ya eye
'Cause I'm the son-of-a-B word that named you "Sue"
Yeah what could I do, what could I do

 

I got all choked up and I threw down my gun
Called him my Pa, and he called me his son
And I come away with a different point of view
And I think about him, now and then
Every time I try and every time I win
And if I ever have a son, I think I'm gonna name him
Bill or George! Anything but Sue! I still hate that name! Yeah
