Lyrical Response

[PastaJoe]

I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real

The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything

 

What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end

[muppy]

I really want to know you
Really want to go with you
Really want to show you, Lord
But it won't take long, my Lord (Hallelujah)

 

My sweet Lord (Hallelujah)
My Lord (Hallelujah)
My sweet Lord (Hallelujah)

[DrW]

Baby, you understand me now?
If sometimes you see that I'm mad
Don'tcha know that no one alive can always be an angel?
When everything goes wrong, you see some bad

But oh, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

[muppy]

I-I love the colorful clothes she wears
And the way the sunlight plays upon her hair
I hear the sound of a gentle word
On the wind that lifts her perfume through the air

 

I'm pickin' up good vibrations
She's giving me the excitations (oom bop bop)
I'm pickin' up good vibrations (good vibrations, oom bop bop)
She's giving me the excitations (excitations, oom bop bop)
I'm pickin' up good vibrations (oom bop bop)
She's giving me the excitations (excitations, oom bop bop)
I'm pickin' up good vibrations (oom bop bop)
She's giving me the excitations (excitations)

[PastaJoe]

It seems like yesterday
But it was long ago
Janey was lovely she was the queen of my nights
There in the darkness with the radio playing low, and
And the secrets that we shared
The mountains that we moved
Caught like a wildfire out of control
'Til there was nothing left to burn and nothing left to prove
And I remember what she said to me
How she swore that it never would end
I remember how she held me oh-so-tight
Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then

Against the wind
We were runnin' against the wind
We were young and strong, we were runnin' against the wind

[without a drought]

Warning came, no one cared
Earth was shakin', we stood and stared
When it came, no one was spared
Still I hear, "Burn"

[PastaJoe]

Taking more than her share, had me fighting for air
She told me to come, but I was already there
'Cause the walls start shaking, the Earth was quaking
My mind was aching and we were making it

And you shook me all night long
Yeah, you shook me all night long

[muppy]

 

Well, long tall Sally
She's really sweet
She got everything that Uncle John need
Oh baby
Yes baby
Wooh baby
Havin' me some fun tonight, yeah

[DD4Bills]

Come hear Uncle John's Band, playing to the tide
Come with me or go alone
He's come to take his children home

[muppy]

Come, come to my window
I'll be home
I'll be home
I'm coming home

 

[PastaJoe]

Hey (hey) what's the matter with your head, yeah
Hey (hey) what's the matter with your mind and your sign and oh
Hey (hey) nothin' the matter with your head
Baby, find it, come on and find it
Bear with it, baby, 'cause you're fine
And you're mine, and you look so divine

Come and get your love
Come and get your love
Come and get your love
Come and get your love

 

[muppy]

Ooh, baby, I love your way, every day, yeah
Ooh, baby, I love your way, every day

Shadows grow so long before my eyes
And they're moving across the page
Suddenly the day turns into night (ooh)
Far away from the city

But don't, oh no, hesitate
'Cause your love just won't wait, ayy-yeah

[Tuco]

I hear some people been talkin' me down,
Bring up my name, pass it 'round.
They don't mention the happy times
They do their thing, I'll do mine.

 

Ooh baby, that's hard to change
I can't tell them how to feel.
Some get stoned, some get strange,
Sooner or later it all gets real.

Walk on

[PastaJoe]

They’ll stone ya when you’re at the breakfast table
They’ll stone ya when you are young and able
They’ll stone ya when you’re tryin’ to make a buck
They’ll stone ya and then they’ll say, “good luck”
Tell ya what, I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned

[DD4Bills]

Alone, listless
Breakfast table in an otherwise empty room
Young girl, violence
Center of her own attention, the
Mother reads aloud, child tries to understand it
Tries to make her proud
The shades go down, it's in her head
Painted room, can't deny there's something wrong

[PastaJoe]

With all the charms of a woman
You've kept the secret of your youth
You led me to believe you're old enough
To give me love
And now it hurts to know the truth

Woah, oh, oh
Young girl
Get out of my mind
My love for you is way out of line
You'd better run, girl
You're much too young, girl

[DD4Bills]

Young enough not to care too much
About the way things used to be
I'm young enough to remember the future
The past has no claim on me

 

I'm old enough not to care too much
About what you think of me
But I'm young enough to remember the future
The way things ought to be

Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin'
Into the future
Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin'
Into the future

I want to fly like an eagle
To the sea
Fly like an eagle
Let my spirit carry me
I want to fly like an eagle
Till I'm free
Oh, Lord, through the revolution

Got to pay your dues if you want to sing the blues
And you know it don't come easy
You don't have to shout or leap about
You can even play them easy
Forget about the past and all your sorrow
The future won't last
It will soon be your tomorrow

[DrW]

He's a twentieth century boy

With his hands on the rails

Trying not to be sick again

And holding on for tomorrow

 

London ice cracks on a seamless line

He's hanging on for dear life

And so we hold each other tightly

And hold on for tomorrow
