Lyrical Response

[muppy]

There must be some word someday
From my girlfriend, so far away
Please, Mister Postman, look and see
If there's a letter, a letter for me
I've been standin' here waitin', Mister Postman
So patiently
For just a card or just a letter
Saying she's returnin' home to me

[PastaJoe]

So far away
Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore?
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

[muppy]

What I got, you got to give it to your mamma
What I got, you've got to give it to your pappa
What I got, you got to give it to your daughter
You do a little dance and then you drink a little water
What I got, you got to get it put it in you
What I got, you got to get it put it in you
What I got, you got to get it put it in you
Reeling with the feeling, don't stop, continue
I realize I don't want to be a miser
Confide with Sly, you'll be the wiser
Young blood is the lovin' upriser
How come everybody wanna keep it like the Kaiser?


Give it away, give it away, give it away now
Give it away, give it away, give it away now
Give it away, give it away, give it away now
I can't tell if I'm a kingpin or a pauper

[PastaJoe]

Your everlasting summer you can see it fading fast
So you grab a piece of something that you think is gonna last
Well you wouldn't even know a diamond if you held it in your hand
The things you think are precious I can't understand

Are you reelin' in the years?
Stowin' away the time
Are you gatherin' up the tears?
Have you had enough of mine?

[muppy]

A kiss on the hand
May be quite continental
But diamonds are a girl's best friend

 

[PastaJoe]

Old friends, old friends
Sat on their park bench like bookends
A newspaper blown through the grass
Falls on the round toes
Of the high shoes of the old friends

[muppy]

Old man, look at my life
Twenty four and there's so much more
Live alone in a paradise
That makes me think of two

 

Love lost, such a cost
Give me things that don't get lost
Like a coin that won't get tossed
Rolling home to you

[Bill from NYC]

I loved you then I guess I'll love you forever
And even though I know we could never stay together
I think about how it could've been
If we could just start all over again

And I'll
Never be the same without you here
I'll live alone
Hide myself behind my tears
No, I'll
Never be the same without your love
I'll live alone
Try so hard to rise above
 

[muppy]

… Oh, baby, I'm gonna love you forever
Forever and ever amen
As long as old men sit and talk about the weather
As long as old women sit and talk about old men
If you wonder how long I'll be faithful
I'll be happy to tell you again
I'm gonna love you forever and ever
Forever and ever, amen

[PastaJoe]

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

But don't hesitate
'Cause your love won't wait

 

Ooh, baby, I love your way, every day
Wanna tell you I love your way, every day
Wanna be with you night and day, ay

[muppy]

In your eyes, the light, the heat
In your eyes, I am complete
In your eyes, I see the doorway
In your eyes, to a thousand churches
In your eyes, the resolution
In your eyes, of all the fruitless searches
In your eyes
In your eyes, oh, I see the light and the heat
In your eyes, the light, the heat
In your eyes
Oh, I wanna be that complete
In your eyes, the light, the heat
In your eyes
I wanna touch the light, the heat I see in your eyes

[PastaJoe]

Do you remember when we used to dance
And incidents arose from circumstance?
One thing led to another, we were young
And we would scream together songs unsung

It was the heat of the moment
Telling me what my heart meant
The heat of the moment
Showed in your eyes

[DD4Bills]

All the same, we take our chances
Laughed at by time
Tricked by circumstances
Plus ca change
Plus c'est la meme chose
The more that things change
The more they stay the same

[muppy]

So I, I turned the radio on, I turned the radio up
And this woman was singin' my song:
The lover's in love and the other's run away
Lover is crying 'cause the other won't stay
