Lyrical Response

[WhoTom]

Friday night, I'm on my way home
They oughta make work a crime
I'm home for the weekend
I'm gonna make the most of my time

[DD4Bills]

Everybody's working for the weekend
Everybody wants a new romance
Everybody's goin' off the deep end
Everybody needs a second chance, oh
You want a piece of my heart
You better start from the start
You wanna be in the show
Come on baby let's go

[PastaJoe]

There's a room where the light won't find you
Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down
When they do I'll be right behind you

So glad we've almost made it
So sad they had to fade it
Everybody wants to rule the world

[Joe Ferguson forever]

Oh, yeah, I'll tell you somethin'
I think you'll understand
When I say that somethin'
I want to hold your hand
I want to hold your hand
I want to hold your hand

Oh, please, say to me
You'll let me be your man
And please, say to me
You'll let me hold your hand
You'll let me hold your hand
I want to hold your hand

 

 

 

 

Holding back the years
Thinking of the fear I've had so long
When somebody hears
Listen to the fear that's gone

[Bridge]
Strangled by the wishes of pater
Hoping for the arms of mater
Get to me the sooner or later

[Verse 2]
Holding back the years
Chance for me to escape from all I've known
Holding back the tears
'Cause nothing here has grown

Like a clown I pretend to be glad (sad, sad, sad, sad)
Now there's some sad things known to man
But ain't too much sadder than the tears of a clown
When there's no one around, mm
Oh yeah, baby

[WhoTom]

I have to be careful not to preach
I can't pretend that I can teach
And yet I've lived your future out
By pounding stages like a clown

[DD4Bills]

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

 

All the world's indeed a stage
We are merely players
Performers and portrayers
Each another's audience outside the gilded cage

[Joe Ferguson forever]

ear Sir or Madam, will you read my book?
It took me years to write, will you take a look?
It's based on a novel by a man named Lear
And I need a job
So I wanna be a paperback writer
Paperback writer

It's a dirty story of a dirty man
And his clinging wife doesn't understand
His son is working for the Daily Mail
It's a steady job
But he wants to be a paperback writer
Paperback writer

Paperback writer (paperback writer)

[muppy]

If I could read your mind, love
What a tale your thoughts could tell
Just like a paperback novel
The kind the drugstore sells
When you reach the part where the heartaches come
The hero would be me
But heroes often fail
And you won't read that book again
Because the ending's just too hard to take

[PastaJoe]

I've got holes in my head
The face I wear is another one
I call my friend
Now it's starting to fray
The night stole my sleep and it's evident
I'm hoping
The judge don't want to see me tonight
I'm tired of it all
Coz it's hard to take

[Bill from NYC]

Now being without you
Takes a lot of getting used to
Should learn to live with it
But I don't want to

 

Being without you
It's all a big mistake
Instead of getting easier
It's the hardest thing to take

I'm addicted to you, babe
You're a hard habit to break

[WhoTom]

I don't want to know the reasons why love keeps

Right on walking on down the line

[Joe Ferguson forever]

If you're down and confused
And you don't remember who you're talkin' to
Concentration slip away
Because your baby is so far away

Well, there's a rose in a fisted glove
And the eagle flies with the dove
And if you can't be with the one you love, honey
Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with

[PastaJoe]

When you're down and troubled
And you need some lovin' care
And nothin', nothin' is goin' right
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest night

[WhoTom]

Nobody knows you
When you're down and out
In your pocket, not one penny
And as for friends, you don't have any

[PastaJoe]

I got brass in a pocket
I got bottle, I'm gonna use it
Intention, I feel inventive
Gonna make you, make you, make you notice

[muppy]

[Her:]
They say we're young and we don't know
We won't find out until we grow
[Him:]
Well I don't know if all that's true
'Cause you got me, and baby I got you

[Him:]
Babe
[Both:]
I got you babe I got you babe
 

[PastaJoe]

I got you, that's all I want
I won't forget, that's a whole lot
I don't go out, now that you're in
Sometimes we shout, but that's no problem

I don't know why sometimes I get frightened
You can see my eyes, you can tell that I'm not lying

[muppy]

You can't hide your lyin' eyes
And your smile is a thin disguise
I thought by now you'd realize
There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes

[LeviF]

Do you realize
That you have the most beautiful face?
Do you realize
We're floating in space?
Do you realize
That happiness makes you cry?
Do you realize
That everyone you know someday will die?
