Lyrical Response

[Bills4everNY]

Hey, down in Joe's garage

We didn't have no dope or LSD

But a couple of quarts of beer

Would fix it so the intonation 

Would not offend your ear

And the same old chords going over and over

Became a symphony 

We would play it again and again and again

Cause it sounded good to me

One more time 

[muppy]

Lying in my bed, I hear the clock tick and think of you
Caught up in circles
Confusion is nothing new
Flashback, warm nights
Almost left behind
Suitcase of memories
Time after

[Bill from NYC]

And the seasons, they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We're captive on the carousel of time
We can't return, we can only look
Behind from where we came
And go round and round and round, in the circle game

 

The GREAT Joni Mitchell

[WhoTom]

What goes up must come down
Spinning Wheel got to go around
Talking about your troubles it's a crying sin
Ride a painted pony let the Spinning Wheel spin

[Bills4everNY]

Here's where the story ends

People I see, weary of me 

Showing my good side

I can see how people look down

I'm on the outside 

Here's where the story ends

Oh, here's where the story ends

It's that little souvenir of a terrible year

Which makes my eyes feel sore 

[without a drought]

High school seemed like such a blur
I didn't have much interest in sports or school elections
And in class I dreamed all day 'bout a rock 'n' roll weekend

 

And the girl in the front of the room
So close yet so far you know she never seemed to notice
That this silly schoolboy crush wasn't just pretend

 

Life goes by so fast
You only wanna do what you think is right
Close your eyes and it's past

Story of my life

 

Story of my life
Story of my life
The story of my life

[muppy]

Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes
Each one she passes goes, "Ah"

 

[without a drought]

Lovely, la la la la la la lovely!

Screwed up people everywhere, but I ain't got time to care
I feel lovely, lovely...
Ha! La la lovely, oh-oh...

All kinds of souls down to the curb, but me help? Don't be absurd
I feel lovely, lovely...
La la la lovely, oh-oh...

Cause it's not a problem of society, if...it don't affect me
And I feel lovely, lovely...
As long as I feel lovely, yea...oh so lovely!

[muppy]

I ain't got no money (nope)
I spent it all on you (oh)
I ain't got no money, honey
I don't know what to do

I ain't got no girl
She kicked me to the curb (damn)
I ain't got no honey and
She took all my money

I shake my fist at the sky
I smash my head on the wall
It doesn't change a ***** thing
'Cause I'm gone and lost it all

Yours was the kiss that awoke my heart
There lingers still, though we're far apart
That taste of honey
Tasting much sweeter than wine

[muppy]

Ba-ya-ya, ba-da-da-da-da-da, ba-ya-ya
Ba-ya-ya, ba-da-da-da-da-da, ba-ya-ya
Ba-ya-ya, ba-da-da-da-da-da, ba-ya-ya
Ba-ya-ya, ba-da-da-da-da-da, ba-ya-ya

There used to be a greying tower alone on the sea
And you became the light on the dark side of me
Love remained a drug that's the high and not the pill

But did you know that when it snows
My eyes become large and
The light that you shine can't be seen?

Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey
Ooh, the more I get of you, stranger it feels, yeah
And now that your rose is in bloom
A light hits the gloom on the grey

[PastaJoe]

All along the watchtower
Princes kept the view
While all the women came and went
Barefoot servants, too
Well, uh, outside in the cold distance
A wildcat did growl
Two riders were approaching
And the wind began to howl, hey

[WhoTom]

I'll tell you where the four winds dwell
In Franklin's tower, there hangs a bell
It can ring, turn night to day
It can ring like fire when you lose your way

[SinceThe70s]

The clock strikes twelve and moon drops burst
Out at you from their hiding place
Miss Carrie nurse and Suzy dear
Would find themselves at the four winds bar
It's the nexus of the crisis
The origin of storms
Just the place to hopelessly
Encounter time and then came me

[DD4Bills]

The night is black without a moon
The air is thick and still
The vigilantes gather on
The lonely torchlit hill

[muppy]

No, you can't take it
No, you can't take it
No, you can't take that away from me
No, you can't take it
No, you can't take it
No, you can't take that away from me

 

Head like a hole

Black as your soul
I'd rather die than give you control

Head like a hole
Black as your soul
I'd rather die than give you control

[PastaJoe]

Black hole sun
Won't you come
And wash away the rain?
Black hole sun
Won't you come
Won't you come

[SinceThe70s]

I wash my face with soapy water
Disguise the tears 'cause you're somebody's daughter
And they don't ever wanna see you cry

[Bills4everNY]

You're breaking my heart with those tears

I'll cry over you

Can we make a new start

Of all the girls I've had at my knees

You're the only one

That could bring me to these tears 

[PastaJoe]

Don't go breaking my heart
I couldn't if I tried
Honey if I get restless
Baby you're not that kind

Don't go breaking my heart
You take the weight off of me
Honey when you knock on my door

Ooh, I gave you my key
