Lyrical Response

[Gray Beard]

It's late (it's late) 
We gotta get on home 
It's late (it's late) 
We've been gone too long 

Too bad (too bad) 
We should a checked our time 
Can't phone (can't phone) 
We done spent every dime 

 

It's late (it's late) 
We're 'bout to run outta gas 
It's late (it's late) 
We gotta get home fast 

Can't speed (can't speed) 
We're in a slow-down zone 
Baby, look at that clock, why can't it be wrong? 

If we could a left home at a quarter to nine 

Would a had fun and plenty of time 
We got started just a little bit late 
Hope this won't be our last date 

Look up (look up) 

Is that the moon we see? 
Can't be (can't be) 
Looks like the sun to me 
It's late (it's late) 

I hate to face your Dad 
Too bad (too bad) 
I know he's gonna be mad 
It's late (it's late)

[SinceThe70s]

Somewhere in the distance I hear the bells ring
Darkness settles on the town as the children start to sing
And the lady 'cross the street she shuts out the night
There's a cast of thousands waiting
As she turns out the light

 

But it's too late, too late, too late
(Too late) too late for love

[Gray Beard]

Stayed in bed all mornin' just to pass the time
There's somethin' wrong here, there can be no denyin'
One of us is changin', or maybe we've just stopped tryin'

 

And it's too late, baby now, it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Somethin' inside has died, and I can't hide
And I just can't fake it, oh, no, no

 

It used to be so easy, livin' here with you
You were light and breezy, an' I knew just what to do
Now you look so unhappy, and I feel like a fool

[WhoTom]

Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time.
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over,
Thought I'd something more to say.

 

 

[Gray Beard]

The song is over
It's all behind me
I should have known it
She tried to find me

 

Our love is over
They're all ahead now
I've got to learn it
I'm gonna to sing out

 

I'll sing my song to the wide open spaces
I'll sing my heart out to the infinite sea
I'll sing my visions to the sky high mountains
I'll sing my song to the free, to the free
I'll sing my song to the wide open spaces
I'll sing my heart out to the infinite sea
I'll sing my visions to the sky high mountains
I'll sing my song to the free, to the free

[The Real Buffalo Joe]

Come on everybody!
Clap your hands!
Aw, you're looking good!

 

I'm gonna sing my song
It won't take long!
We're gonna do the Twist
And it goes like this:

 

Come on let's twist again
Like we did last summer!
Yeah, let's twist again
Like we did last year!
 

[WhoTom]

Sometimes we live no particular way but our own
Sometimes we visit your country and live in your home
Sometimes we ride on your horses, sometimes we walk alone
Sometimes the songs that we hear are just songs of our own

 

Wake up to find out that you are the eyes of the world
The heart has its beaches, its homeland and thoughts of its own
Wake now, discover that you are the song that the morning brings
The heart has its seasons, its evenings and songs of its own

Riding along in my automobile
My baby beside me at the wheel
I stole a kiss at the turn of a mile
My curiosity runnin' wild
Crusin' and playin' the radio
With no particular place to go

 

Riding along in my automobile
I was anxious to tell her the way I feel
So I told her softly and sincere
And she leaned and whispered in my ear
Cuddlin' more and drivin' slow
With no particular place to go

No particular place to go
 

So we parked way out on the Kokomo
The night was young and the moon was gold
So we both decided to take a stroll
Can you image the way I felt
I couldn't unfasten her safety belt

 

Ridin' along in my calaboose
Still trying to get her belt a-loose
All the way home I held a grudge
For the safety belt that wouldn't budge
Crusin' and playin' the radio
With no particular place to go

Take me riding in the car, car; 
Take me riding in the car, car;
Take you riding in the car, car; 
I'll take you riding in my car.

Click clack, open up the door, girls; 
Click clack, open up the door, boys; 
Front door, back door, clickety clack, 
Take you riding in my car.

Climb, climb, rattle on the front seat; 
Spree I spraddle on the backseat; 
Turn my key, step on my starter, 
Take you riding in my car.

Engine it goes boom, boom; 
Engine it goes boom, boom; 
Front seat, backseat, boys and girls, 
Take you riding in my car.

Trees and the houses walk along; 
Trees and the houses walk along; 
Truck and a car and a garbage can, 
Take you riding in my car.

Ships and the little boats chug along; 
Ships and the little boats chug along; 
Boom buhbuh boom boom boom buh boom, 
Take you riding in my car.

I'm a gonna send you home again;

Boom, boom, buhbuh boom, rolling home, 
Take you riding in my car.

I'm a gonna let You blow the horn;
I'm a gonna let you blow the horn; 
A oorah, a oorah, a oogah, oogah, 
I'll take you riding in my car.

[PastaJoe]

Here in my car
I feel safest of all
I can lock all my doors
It's the only way to live
In cars

 

Here in my car
I can only receive
I can listen to you
It keeps me stable for days
In cars

[WhoTom]

Get myself a car
I feel power as I fly
Whoa, now I'm really in control

It all looks fine
To the naked eye
But it don't really happen that way at all!
Don't happen that way at all!

[Gray Beard]

Yeah
You are my fire
The one desire
Believe when I say
I want it that way

 

But we are two worlds apart
Can't reach to your heart
When you say
That I want it that way

 

Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a heartache
Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a mistake
Tell me why
I never want to hear you say
I want it that way

[ExiledInIllinois]

Our love is alive, and so we begin
Foolishly laying our hearts on the table
Stumblin' in

Our love is a flame, burning within
Now and then firelight will catch us
Stumblin' in

Wherever you go, whatever you do
You know these reckless thoughts of mine are following you
I've fallen for you, whatever you do
'Cause, baby, you've shown me so many things that I never knew
Whatever it takes, baby, I'll do it for you

[PastaJoe]

Downtown we'll drown 
We're in our never splendour
Flowers, showers
Who's got the new boy gender?
I'll be your baby, I'll be your score
I'll run the gun for you and so much more

 

I'll tumble for ya, I'll tumble for ya
I'll tumble for ya, I'll tumble for you
I'll tumble for ya, I'll tumble for ya
I'll tumble for ya, I'll tumble

[SinceThe70s]

Women think I'm tasty, but they're always tryin' to waste me
Make me burn the candle right down
But, baby, baby, don't need no jewels in my crown

 

'Cause all you women is low down gamblers
Cheatin' like I don't know how
Baby, got no flavor, fever in the funk house now
This low down bitchin' got my poor feet a itchin'
Don't you know you know the duece is still wild

 

Baby, I can't stay, you got to roll me
And call me the tumblin' dice

[Gray Beard]

To my surprise, one hundred stories high
People getting loose y'all, getting down on the roof
Folks are screaming, out of control
It was so entertaining when the boogie started to explode
I heard somebody say

 

disco inferno
(Burn baby burn) burn that mother down
(Burn baby burn) disco inferno
(Burn baby burn) burn that mother down

 

Satisfaction came in a chain reaction
(Burnin')
I couldn't get enough, so I had to self-destruct
The heat was on, rising to the top
Everybody going strong, and that is when my spark got hot

[SinceThe70s]

The only way we're ending with the Trammps "Disco Inferno" is over my dead body. And I am still alive and well thank you very much.

 

Now the smiling portrait of you

Is still hangin' on my frowning wall
But It really doesn't, really doesn't bother me
Too much at all
It's just the ever falling dust
That makes it so hard for me to see
That forgotten earring layin' on the floor
Facing coldly towards the door

And I continue
To burn the midnight lamp

[ExiledInIllinois]

How can we dance when our earth is turning?
How do we sleep while our beds are burning?
How can we dance when our earth is turning?
How do we sleep while our beds are burning?

The time has come to say fair's fair
To pay the rent now, to pay our share

[WhoTom]

If life were easy and not so fast
I wouldn't think about the past
I can't forget to turn the earth so both sides get their share
Of darkness and of light

 

 

[PastaJoe]

Tonight I'll be on that hill 'cause I can't stop
I'll be on that hill with everything I got
With our lives on the line where dreams are found and lost
I'll be there on time and I'll pay the cost
For wanting things that can only be found
In the darkness on the edge of town
In the darkness on the edge of town
