Lyrical Response

[Joe Ferguson forever]

They call me Baby Driver
And once upon a pair of wheels
I hit the road and I'm gone
What's my number?
I wonder how your engines feel
Scoot down the road, what's my number?
I wonder how your engines feel

My daddy got a big promotion
My mama got a raise in pay
There's no one home, we're all alone
Oh, come to my room and play, yes, we can play

I'm not talking about your pigtails
But I'm talking 'bout your sex appeal
I hit the road and I'm gone
What's my number?
I wonder how your engines-
Scoot down the road, what's my number?
I wonder how your engines feel

 

Paul Simon musta been very young when he wrote this....hope so!

I wonder what would happen if my dog could talk
Would he look me in the eye and say, "Take me for a walk"?
When I gave him his dinner, would he shake his head
And say, "Take it away, I want caviar instead"?

 

[muppy]

… If God had a name what would it be?
And would you call it to his face?
If you were faced with Him in all His glory
What would you ask if you had just one question?

[LeviF]

In times of turmoil, in times like these
Beliefs contagious, spreading disease
This wretched mischief is now coursing through your souls
Never to let go, never to let go

Them rats
Into your sanctum, you let them in
Now, all your loved ones and all your kin
Will suffer punishments beneath the wrath of God
Never to forgive, never to forgive

[SinceThe70s]

Fighting fire with empty words
While the banks get fat
And the poor stay poor
And the rich get rich
And the cops get paid
To look away
As the one percent rules America

Spreading the disease
Everybody needs
But no one wants to see
The way society
Keeps spreading the disease

[WhoTom]

Down with disease
Three weeks in my bed
Trying to stop these demons that keep
Dancing in my head

[DD4Bills]

He bag production
He got walrus gumboot
He got Ono sideboard
He one spinal cracker
He got feet down below his knee
Hold you in his armchair
You can feel his disease
Come together, right now
Over me

[leh-nerd skin-erd]

Here comes the rich man in his big long limousine
Here comes the poor man all you got to have is green
Here comes the banker and the lawyer and the cop
One thing for certain it ain't never gonna stop
When it all gets too heavy
That's when they come and they go
They go
With only one thing in common

They got the fire down below

[WhoTom]

Oh, thunder only happens when it's rainin'
Players only love you when they're playing
Say, "Women, they will come and they will go"
When the rain washes you clean, you'll know
You'll know

[Bill from NYC]

I have a friend I've never seen
He hides his head inside a dream
Someone should call him and see
If he can come out
Try to lose the down that he's found

 

But only love can break your heart
Try to be sure right from the start
Yes, only love can break your heart
What if your world should fall apart?

[PastaJoe]

The dream police
They live inside of my head
The dream police
They come to me in my bed
The dream police
They're coming to arrest me, oh no

[muppy]

Over my head I hear music in the air
Over my head I hear music

over my head
It's loud and clear
It's going to my head

[PastaJoe]

Your mood is like a circus wheel
You're changing all the time
Sometimes I can't help but feel
That I'm wasting all of my time

Think I'm looking on the dark side
But everyday you hurt my pride
I'm over my head (over my head)
Oh, but it sure feels nice

[WhoTom]

And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon

[muppy]

They're still racing out at the Trestles
But that blood it never burned in her veins
Now I hear she's got a house up in Fairview
And a style she's trying to maintain

 

Well if she wants to see me
You can tell her that I'm easily found
Tell her there's a spot out 'neath Abram's Bridge
And tell her there's a darkness on the edge of town
There's a darkness on the edge of town

[BillsFanNC]

Static on your frequency
Electrical storm in your veins
Raging at unreachable glory
Straining at invisible chains

And now you're trembling on a rocky ledge
Staring down into a heartless sea
Can't face life on a razor's edge
Nothings what you thought it would be

All of us get lost in the darkness
Dreamers learn to steer by the stars
All of us do time in the gutter
Dreamers turn to look at the cars
Turn around and turn around and turn around
Turn around and walk the razor's edge
Don't turn your back
And slam the door on me

[SinceThe70s]

Well I've opened up my veins too many times
And the poison's in my heart and in my mind

[PastaJoe]

You're in my heart, you're in my soul
You'll be my breath should I grow old
You are my lover, you're my best friend
You're in my soul

[WhoTom]

Was a time when I wasn't sure, but you set my mind at ease
There is no doubt you're in my heart now

[muppy]

I like the way your sparkling earrings lay
Against your skin so brown
And I want to sleep with you in the desert night
With a billion stars all around

'

Cause I got a peaceful easy feelin'
And I know you won't let me down
'Cause I'm already standin'
On the ground
