Lyrical Response

Alright stop, collaborate and listen.

Ice is back with a brand new invention.

Something grabs ahold of me tightly.

Then I flow that harpoon daily and nightly.

Will it ever stop?  Yo, I don’t know.

Turn off the lights and I’ll glow.

To the extreme I rock the mike like a vandal.

Light up the stage and wax a chump like a candle. 

Of course, the correct response here would have been:

 

Pressure pushing down on me
Pressing down on you, no man ask for
Under pressure that burns a building down
Splits a family in two
Puts people on streets

 

Um ba ba be
Um ba ba be
De day da
Ee day da, that's okay

It's the terror of knowing what the world is about
Watching some good friends screaming
"Let me out!"
Pray tomorrow gets me higher
Pressure on people, people on streets

[PastaJoe]

She was a be-bop baby on a hard day's night
She was hangin' on Johnny, he was holdin' on tight
I could feel her coming from a mile away
There was no use talking, there was nothing to say
When the band began to play and play

And we danced like a wave on the ocean, romanced
We were liars in love and we danced
Swept away for a moment by chance
And we danced and danced and danced

[The Real Buffalo Joe]

"We've done four already but now we're steady
And then they went: One, two, three, four"

Singing in the sunshine, laughing in the rain
Hitting on the moonshine, rocking in the grain
Got no time to pack my bags, my foots outside the door
I got a date, I can't be late, for the high hopes hailla ball, uh uh, uh uh, yeah

 

Singing to an ocean, I can hear the ocean's roar
Play for free, I play for me and play a whole lot more, more!
Singing about the good things and the sun that lights the day
I used to sing on the mountains, has the ocean lost its way

 

I don't know, oh oh, yeah'

 

Ooh, yeah

 

Sitting round singing songs 'til the night turns into day
Used to sing about the mountains but the mountains washed away
Now I'm singing all my songs to the girl who won my heart
She is only three years old and it's a real fine way to start

 

Oh yeah!

 

It sure is fine!
Ah blow my mind!
When the tears are goin' down! 
Yeah! Yeah, yeah

 

Oh so, oh so, oh so good!
Oh so good!

[Gray Beard]

The lock upon my garden gate's a snail, that's what it is
The lock upon my garden gate's a snail, that's what it is

 

First there is a mountain, then there is no mountain, then there is
First there is a mountain, then there is no mountain, then there is

 

The caterpillar sheds his skin to find a butterfly within
Caterpillar sheds his skin to find a butterfly within

 

First there is a mountain, then there is no mountain, then there is
First there is a mountain, then there is no mountain

 

Oh Juanita, oh Juanita, oh Jaunita, I call your name

 

Oh, the snow will be a blinding sight to see as it lies on yonder hillside

 

[KD in CA]

Senorita I'm in trouble again and I can't get free
(Senorita) You're exactly what the doctor ordered, come on talk to me
(Ah) Can't crow before I'm out of the woods
But there's exceptions to the rule
(Ah-ah) Senorita, do you need a friend? I'm in love with you 

 

Catch as catch, catch as catch can
Anybody in their right mind could see, it's you and me
Oooh-ooo-ooh
Oooh-oooh 

 

You say you're lonesome, just getting by
But you turn your eyes from me
Be sure you're hurting long before you fly 'cause, you've got me 

 

Catch as catch, catch as catch can
Anybody in their right mind could see, you and me
Catch as catch, catch as catch can
When I see you, all your little guitars sing to me

[Gray Beard]

Here they come again, mmmm-mm-mm
Catch us if you can, mmmm-mm-mm
Time to get a move on, mmmm-mm-mm
We will yell with all of our might

 

Catch us if you can
Catch us if you can
Catch us if you can
Catch us if you can

 

Now we gotta run, mmmm-mm-mm
No more time for fun, mmmm-mm-mm
When we're gettin' angry, mmmm-mm-mm
We will yell with all of our might

[The Real Buffalo Joe]

Here we come
Walkin' down the street
We get the funniest looks from
Everyone we meet

 

Hey, hey, we're the Monkees
And people say we monkey around
But we're too busy singing
To put anybody down

 

We go wherever we want to
Do what we like to do
We don't have time to get restless
There's always something new

 

Hey, hey, we're the Monkees
And people say we monkey around
But we're too busy singing
To put anybody down

 

We're just tryin' to be friendly
Come and watch us sing and play
We're the young generation
And we've got something to say, oh
Any time
Or anywhere
Just look over your shoulder
Guess who'll be standing there?

Hey, hey, we're the Monkees
And people say we monkey around
But we're too busy singing
To put anybody down
Whaaa, one time!

 

Hey, hey, we're the Monkees
And people say we monkey around
But we're too busy singing
To put anybody down

 

We're just tryin' to be friendly
Come and watch us sing and play
We're the young generation
And we've got something to say

 

Hey, hey, we're the Monkees
Hey, hey, we're the Monkees

[WhoTom]

Well I hope we're not too messianic
Or a trifle too satanic
But we love to play the blues

But I am just a monkey man
I'm glad you are a monkey woman too

 

 

 

[Bills4everNY]

I don't feel safe in this world no more

I don't want to die in a nuclear war

I want to sail away to a distant shore

And make like an apeman

[KD in CA]

People stare and cross the road from me
And jungle drums they all clear the way for me
Can you read my mind, can you see in the snow
And fiery demons all dance when you walk through that door
Don't say you're easy on me, you're about as easy as a nuclear war

 

There's a dream that strings the road
With broken glass for us to hold
And I cut so far before I had to say

 

Please, please tell me now
Is there something I should know?
Is there something I should say?
That would make you come my way
Do you feel the same 'cause you don't let it show

[Gray Beard]

War, whoa, lord
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing, listen to me

 

it ain't nothing but a heart-breaker
(War) friend only to the undertaker
Oh, war it's an enemy to all mankind
The point of war blows my mind
War has caused unrest
Within the younger generation
Induction then destruction
Who wants to die, ah, war-huh, good god why'all
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it, say it, say it
War, huh
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing listen to me

 

it ain't nothing but a heart breaker
(War) it's got one friend that's the undertaker
Oh, war, has shattered many a young mans dreams
Made him disabled, bitter and mean
Life is much to short and precious
To spend fighting wars these days
War can't give life
It can only take it away

 

Oh, war, huh good god why'all
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing say it again

[WhoTom]

Generals gathered in their masses,
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction,
Sorcerer of death's construction
In the fields the bodies burning,
As the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to mankind,
Poisoning their brainwashed minds
Oh Lord yeah

 

Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role for the poor

 

[PastaJoe]

Some folks are born made to wave the flag
Ooh, they're red, white and blue
And when the band plays "Hail to the chief"
Ooh, they point the cannon at you, Lord

It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no senator's son, son
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate one, no

 

Some folks are born silver spoon in hand
Lord, don't they help themselves, oh
But when the taxman comes to the door
Lord, the house looks like a rummage sale, yes

 

It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no millionaire's son, no
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate one, no

[KD in CA]

Let me tell you how it will be
There's one for you, nineteen for me
'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman

 

Should five per cent appear too small
Be thankful I don't take it all
'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah I'm the taxman

 

If you drive a car, I'll tax the street,
If you try to sit, I'll tax your seat.
If you get too cold I'll tax the heat,
If you take a walk, I'll tax your feet.

 

Don't ask me what I want it for
If you don't want to pay some more
'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman

 

Now my advice for those who die
Declare the pennies on your eyes
'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman
And you're working for no one but me.

[Gugny]

All the waiters in your grand cafe
Leave their tables when you blink
Every dog must have his everyday
Every drunk must have his drink
Don't wait for answers
Just take your chances
Don't ask me why

[ExiledInIllinois]

"A bottle of white, a bottle of red
Perhaps a bottle of rose instead
We'll get a table near the street
In our old familiar place
You and I, face to face

A bottle of red, a bottle of white
It all depends upon your appetite
I'll meet you any time you want
In our Italian Restaurant..."

[Gray Beard]

Ramblin' around this dirty old town
Singin' for nickels and dimes
Times getting rough I ain't got enough
To buy me a bottle of wine

 

Bottle of wine, fruit of the vine
When you gonna let me get sober
Leave me along, let me go home
I wann'a go back and start over

 

Little hotel, older than Hell
Cold and as dark as a mine
Blanket so thin, I lie there and grin
Buy me little bottle of wine

[WhoTom]

Here by sea and sand
Nothing ever goes as planned
I just couldn't face going home
It was just a drag on my own

They finally threw me out
My mom got drunk on stout
My dad couldn't stand on two feet
As he lectured about morality

Now I guess the family's complete
With me hanging 'round on the street
Or here on the beach

 

[Figster]

Underneath the bridge
The tarp has sprung a leak
And the animals I've trapped
Have all become my pets
And I'm living off of grass
And the drippings from the ceiling
But it's okay to eat fish
'Cause they don't have any feelings
