Lyrical Response

[muppy]

Close your eyes, give me your hand, darling
Do you feel my heart beating?
Do you understand? Do you feel the same?
Am I only dreaming?
Is this burning an eternal flame?

[PastaJoe]

Close your eyes and I'll kiss you
Tomorrow I'll miss you
Remember I'll always be true
And then while I'm away
I'll write home every day
And I'll send all my loving to you

[muppy]

Oh, can't you see
You belong to me?
How my poor heart aches
With every step you take?

[PastaJoe]

See the pyramids along the Nile
And watch the sunrise on the tropic isle
But just remember, darling, all the while
You belong to me

See the marketplace, in old Algiers
And send me photographs and souvenirs
Just remember when a dream appears
You belong to me

[Bill from NYC]

Every time I see your face
It reminds me of the places we used to go
But all I've got is a photograph
And I realise you're not comin' back anymore

I thought I'd make it
The day you went away
But I can't make it
'Til you come home again to stay

Above song came up on a playlist the other day.  Classic, love it. Back to the lyrics:

 

I've gotta get home, there's a garden to tend
All the fruits on the ground and the birds have all moved
Back into my attic, whistlin' static
When the young learn to fly, I will patch up the holes once again

[PastaJoe]

Give her some funked up music
She treats you nice
Feed her some hungry reggae
She'll love you twice

The girls don't seem to care tonight
As long as the mood is right

 

No static at all (no static, no static at all)
FM (no static at all)

[muppy]

She's blood, flesh, and bone
No tucks or silicone
She's touch, smell, sight, taste, and sound
But somehow I can't believe that anything should happen
I know where I belong and nothing's gonna happen, yeah

'Cause she's so high
High above me, she's so lovely
She's so high, like Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, or Aphrodite
Da-da-da-da
She's so high, high above me

[SinceThe70s]

Wake up in the morning
Clock says half past one
I have no sunglasses as I step into the sun

 

There's no recollection
Of the evil things I've done
Head feels like I must have had some fun

 

What happened?

[muppy]

… "All I wanna do is have a little fun before I die"
Says the man next to me out of nowhere
It's apropos of nothing, he says his name is William
I'm sure he's Bill or Billy or Mac or Buddy
And he's plain ugly to me
And I wonder if he's ever had a day of fun in his whole life

[PastaJoe]

The Soldier Blues were trapped on a hillside
The battle ragin' all around
The sergeant cried, "We've gotta hang on boys
We've gotta hold this piece of ground
I need a volunteer to ride out
And bring us back some extra men"
And Billy's hand was up in a moment
Forgettin' all the words she said, she said

"Billy, don't be a hero, don't be a fool with your life
Billy, don't be a hero, come back and make me your wife"
And as Billy started to go, she said, "Keep your pretty head low
Billy, don't be a hero, come back to me"

[Bill from NYC]

Hold my hand
Want you to hold my hand
Hold my hand
I'll take you to a place where you can be
Hold my hand
Anything you wanna be because
I wanna love you the best that
The best that I can

[muppy]

You're simply the best
Better than all the rest
Better than anyone
Anyone I've ever met

[PastaJoe]

When I say, "I love you, " you say, you better
You better you better you bet
When I say, "I need you, " you say, you better
You better you better you bet
You better bet your life
Or love will cut you like a knife
