Lyrical Response

[PastaJoe]

The old folks say
That you gotta end your date by ten
If you're out on a date
And you bring it home late it's a sin
There just ain't no excusin'
You know you're gonna lose and never win
I'll say it again

And it's all because
Your mama don't dance
And your daddy don't rock and roll
Your mama don't dance
And your daddy don't rock and roll
When evening rolls around
And it's time to go to town
Where do you go
To rock and roll?

[DD4Bills]

You can surrender without a prayer
But never really pray
Pray without surrender

 

You can fight
Fight without ever winning
But never ever win
Without a fight

[muppy]

When you call my name, it's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there
In the midnight hour, I can feel your power
Just like a prayer, you know I'll take you there

[PastaJoe]

I'm gonna wait 'til the midnight hour
That's when my love come tumbling down
I'm gonna wait 'til the midnight hour
When there's no one else around
I'm gonna take you, girl, and hold you
And do all things I told you, in the midnight hour

[DD4Bills]

Saw my picture in the paper
Read the news around my face
And now some people
Don't want to treat me the same

When the walls
Come tumblin' down
When the walls
Come crumblin', crumblin'
When the walls
Come tumblin', tumblin'
Down
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Tuco]

I read the news today, oh boy
Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire
And though the holes were rather small
They had to count them all
Now we know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall
 

[PastaJoe]

We're so sorry, uncle Albert
But we haven't done a bloody thing all day
We're so sorry, uncle Albert
But the kettle's on the boil
And we're so easily called away

[muppy]

So far away
Doesn't anybody stay in one place any more?
It would be so fine to see your face at my door
Doesn't help to know you're just time away
Long ago I reached for you and there you stood
Holding you again could only do me good
How I wish I could
But you're so far away
 

[DD4Bills]

Here I am again in this mean old town
And you're so far away from me
And where are you when the sun go down?
You're so far away from me

 

You're so far away from me
So far I just can't see
You're so far away from me
You're so far away from me, alright

[PastaJoe]

Here I go again on my own
Going down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter, I was born to walk alone
And I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
I'm just another heart in need of rescue
Waiting on love's sweet charity
And I'm gonna hold on for the rest of my days

 

[Bill from NYC]

Goin' down the road feeling bad
Goin' down the road feeling bad
Goin' down the road feeling bad, yeah, yeah
I don't want to be treated this a-way

[PastaJoe]

I'm traveling down the road and I'm flirting with disaster
I got the pedal to the floor, my life is running faster
I'm out of money, out of hope, it looks like self destruction
Well, how much more can you take with all of this corruption?

[Bill from NYC]

I only want to hold you, I don't want to tie you down
Or fit you in the lines I might've drawn.
It's just that I, oh I

have gotten used to havin' you around.
The landscape would be empty if you were gone

But it's all right cause I love you, and that's not going to change.
Run me around and make me hurt again and again.
But I'll still sing you love songs, written in the letter of your name.
The rain is gonna come, oh it surely looks like rain.

[Tuco]

What kinda guy am I really who?
I don't wear pajamas and I don't sniff glue
I'm Mississippi, got the New York blues
What kinda guy am I really who?

[SinceThe70s]

Wondering what I'm doing tonight
I've been in the closet and feel all right
Ran out of Carbona Mom threw out the glue
Ran out of paint and roach spray too

[PastaJoe]

Well, I wanna make love to you tonight
I can't wait 'til the mornin' has come
You know, I know now the time is just right
And straight into my arms you will run

And when you come, my heart will be waiting
To make sure that you're never alone
There and then all my dreams will come true, dear
There and then I will make you my own

[muppy]

… Turn down the lights
Turn down the bed
Turn down these voices inside my head
Lay down with me
Tell me no lies
Just hold me close, don't patronize
Don't patronize me

 

… 'Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark, in these final hours
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
But you won't, no you won't
'Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't

[Bill from NYC]

So raise the candles high
'Cause if you don't we could stay black against the night
Oh, raise them higher again
And if you do we could stay dry against the rain

 

Lay down, lay down, lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up, at the ones who stand and frown
Lay down, lay down, lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up, at the ones who stand and frown

[PastaJoe]

Black is black
I want my baby back
It's grey, it's grey
Since she went away, oh oh

What can I do
'Cause I-I-I-I-I
I'm feelin' blue

[SinceThe70s]

Hey, blue on black
Tears on a river
Push on a shove
It don't mean much
Joker on jack
Match on a fire
Cold on ice
Is a dead man's touch
Whisper on a scream
Doesn't change a thing
Don't bring you back
Blue on black
