Lyrical Response

[WhoTom]

And so I quit the police department
And got myself a steady job
And though she tried her best to help me
She could steal but she could not rob

 

[SinceThe70s]

You Were Involved In A Robbery 
That Was Due To Happen 
At A Quarter To Three 
In The Main Street.

[Gray Beard]

It's quarter to three
There's no-one in the place
'Cept You and me.
So set 'em up Joe,
I've got a little story
I think you should know

 

We're drinking my friend,
To the end of a brief episode
Make it one for my baby, and one more
For the road

[The Real Buffalo Joe]

On the road again
Like a band of Gypsies we go down the highway
We're the best of friends
Insisting that the world keep turnin' our way

And our way is on the road again
I just can't wait to get on the road again
The life I love is makin' music with my friends

And I can't wait to get on the road again.

[PastaJoe]

I'm gonna hit the road, adios my friend
Go someplace and start all over again

Don't know where i'm going, like a gypsy out on the road
I'll go someplace and join a traveling show

 

Nobody left to run with anymore
Nobody wants to do the crazy things we used to do before
Nobody left to run with anymore

 

[SinceThe70s]

I found the simple life ain't so simple
When I jumped out, on that road
I got no love, no love you'd call real
Ain't got nobody, waitin' at home

 

Runnin' with the devil

[Gray Beard]

Trading my time for the pay I get 
Living on money that I ain't made yet
Gotta keep goin' gotta make my way 
But I live for the end of the day 

'cause it's a five o'clock world when the whistle blows
No-one owns a piece of my time
And there's a long-haired girl who waits, I know
To ease my troubled mind, yeah!

[Gray Beard]

no gal made has got a shade
on sweet georgia brown, 
two left feet, oh, so neat, 
has sweet georgia brown! 

they all sigh, and want to die, 
for sweet georgia brown! 
i'll tell you just why, 
you know i don't lie, not much:

it's been said she knocks 'em dead, 
when she lands in town!

[WhoTom]

Well the Ukraine girls really knock me out
They leave the west behind
And Moscow girls make me sing and shout
That Georgia's always on my my my my my my my my my mind

 

Oh, show me round your snow peaked mountains way down south
Take me to your daddy's farm
Let me hear your balalaika's ringing out
Come and keep your comrade warm

Georgia, Georgia
The whole day through
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind (Georgia on my mind)

I said Georgia
Georgia
A song of you
Comes as sweet and clear
As moonlight through the pines

 

(yes I realize how easy of a cop out this was)

[SinceThe70s]

The sound of strangers sending nothing to my mind
Just another mad mad day on the road
I am just living to be lying by your side
But I'm just about a moonlight mile on down the road

[The Real Buffalo Joe]

Strangers in the night
Exchanging glances
Wondering in the night
What were the chances
We'd be sharing love
Before the night was through?
Something in your eyes
Was so inviting
Something in your smile
Was so exciting
Something in my heart told me I must have you

[PastaJoe]

People are strange
When you're a stranger
Faces look ugly
When you're alone.
Women seem wicked 
When you're unwanted 
Streets are uneven
When you're down.

When you're strange
Faces come out of the rain
When you're strange
No one remembers your name
When you're strange
When you're strange
When you're strange.

[WhoTom]

When I look out my window
many sights to see
and when I look in my window
so many different people to be
that it's strange
so strange

 

you've got to pick up every stitch
you've got to pick up every stitch
you've got to pick up every stitch
Mmmm, must be the season of the witch
Must be the season of the witch, yeah
Must be the season of the witch

[The Real Buffalo Joe]

Each day through my window I watch her as she passes by
I say to myself you're such a lucky guy
To have a girl like her is truly a dream come true
Out of all the fellows in the world she belongs to me
But it was just my imagination
Runnin' away with me
It was just my imagination runnin' away with me

[WhoTom]

Baby, time meant nothing, anything seemed real
Yeah, you could kiss like fire, and you made me feel
Like every word you said was meant to be
But it couldn't been that easy to forget about me

Baby, even the losers
Get lucky sometimes
Even the losers
Keep a little bit of pride
They get lucky sometimes

[The Real Buffalo Joe]

You better watch what you say
You better watch what you do to me
Don't get carried away
Girl, if you can do better than me

Go
Yeah, go
But remember

Good love is hard to find
Good love is hard to find
You got lucky, babe
You got lucky, babe
When I found you
 

[SinceThe70s]

You said that your love was just for me
That's why I've got to be yours
You told me the day will never come
When you would walk out and leave
'Cause you know that

 

True love is hard to find

[The Real Buffalo Joe]

Don't you love her madly?
Wanna be her daddy?
Don't ya love her face?
Don't ya love her as she's walkin' out the door
Like she did one thousand times before?

[PastaJoe]

Sometimes I feel I've got to
Run away I've got to
Get away from the pain that you drive into the heart of me
The love we share
Seems to go nowhere
And I've lost my light
For I toss and turn I can't sleep at night

 

Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now I'll run from you
This tainted love you've given
I give you all a boy could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all
Oh tainted love
Tainted love
