Lyrical Response

[PastaJoe]

Hey, if you happen to see
The most beautiful girl that walked out on me
Tell her I'm sorry
Tell her I need my baby
Oh, won't you tell her that I love her?

[Bill from NYC]

And if she should tell you: "Come closer"
And if she tempts you with her charms

Tell her no, no, no, no, no-no-no-no
No, no, no, no, no-no-no-no
No, no, no, no, no
Don't hurt me now for her love belongs to me

[muppy]

Come a little bit closer
You're my kind of man
So big and so strong

 

Come a little bit closer
I'm all alone
And the night is so long

[Joe Ferguson forever]

the place where I come from is a small town
they think so small
they use small words
-but not me
I'm smarter than that
I worked it out
I've been stretching my mouth
to let those big words come right out

I've had enough, I'm getting out
to the city, the big big city
I'll be a big noise with all the big boys
there's so much stuff I will own
and I will pray to a big god
as I kneel in the big church

big time
I'm on my way-I'm making it
big time big time
I've got to make it show yeah
big time big time
so much larger than life
big time
I'm going to watch it growing
big time

my parties all have big names
and I greet them with the widest smile
tell them how my life is one big adventure
and always they're amazed
when I show them round my house, to my bed
I had it made like a mountain range
with a snow-white pillow for my big fat head
and my heaven will be a big heaven
and I will walk through the front door

big time

[WhoTom]

He said, "I come from the land of darkness"
He said, "I come from the land of doom"
He said, "I come from the land of Gamehendge
From the land of the big baboon"

 

[DD4Bills]

We come from the land of the ice and snow
From the midnight sun where the hot springs flow
The hammer of the gods
Will drive our ships to new lands
To fight the horde, sing and cry
Valhalla, I am coming

[muppy]

There is a house way down in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I'm one

[Joe Ferguson forever]

Come away with me in the night
Come away with me
And I will write you a song

Come away with me on a bus
Come away where they can't tempt us with their lies

[Bill from NYC]

If they gave me a fortune
My pleasure would be small
I could lose it all tomorrow
And never mind at all
But if I should lose your love dear
I don't know what I'd do
For I know I'll never find, another you

[muppy]

If a picture paints a thousand words
Then why can't I paint you?
The words will never show the you I've come to know

[PastaJoe]

To help you on the way down the road
I couldn't quote you no Dickens, Shelley or Keats
'Cause it's all been said before
Make the best out of the bad, just laugh it off, ha
You didn't have to come here anyway

So remember, every picture tells a story, don't it
Every picture tells a story, don't it
Every picture tells a story, don't it, whoo
Every picture tells a story, don't it

[WhoTom]

Well it's high time
That you find
The same people that you must use on your way up
You might meet up

On your way down

[muppy]

You can go your own way
Go your own way
You can call it
Another lonely day
 

 

[PastaJoe]

No more lonely night, never be another
No more lonely night
You're my guiding light
Day or night, I'm always there

[Bill from NYC]

Night and day
You are one
Only you beneath the moon or under the sun
Whether near to me or far
It's no matter, baby, where you are
I think of you
Day and night

[Joe Ferguson forever]

There's a dark and a troubled side of life
There's a bright and a sunny side too
Though we meet with the darkness and strife
The sunny side we also may view

Keep on the sunny side, always on the sunny side
Keep on the sunny side of life
It will help us every day, it will brighten all the way
If we keep on the sunny side of life

Oh, the storm and its fury broke today
Crushing hopes that we cherish so dear
Clouds and storms will in time pass away
The sun again will shine bright and clear

[PastaJoe]

Into this life we're born
Baby sometimes, sometimes we don't know why
And time seems to go by so fast
In the twinkling of an eye

Let's enjoy it while we can (let's enjoy it while we can)
Won't you help me share my load (help me share my load)
From the dark end of the street
To the bright side of the road

[muppy]

The lunatic is in my head.
The lunatic is in my head
You raise the blade, you make the change
You re-arrange me 'till I'm sane.

You lock the door
And throw away the key
There's someone in my head but it's not me.
And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear
You shout and no one seems to hear.
And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon.

[WhoTom]

When you hear this sound a-comin'
Hear the drummer drumming
Won't you join together with the band

[muppy]

The leader of the band is tired and his eyes are growing old
But his blood runs through my instrument and his song is in my soul
My life has been a poor attempt to imitate the man
I'm just a living legacy to the leader of the band
