Lyrical Response

[muppy]

I was sinking, and now I'm sunk
I was drinking, and now I'm drunk
Your songs remind me of swimming,
But somehow I forgot

[PastaJoe]

The best place I ever found
Wasn't close to any town
Was a little swimming ground
Everything just floating around

[muppy]

… I'd gladly lose me to find you
I'd gladly give up all I have
To find you, I'd suffer anything and be glad

 

… I'll pay any price just to get you
I'd work all my life, and I will
To win you, I'd stand naked, stoned and stabbed

 

… I call that a bargain
The best I ever had
The best I ever had

 

@WhoTom RIP

[Bill from NYC]

Sometimes I go and walk the street
Behind the green sheet of glass
A million miles below their feet
A million miles, a million miles

 

I'll be with you, girl
Like being low
Hey-hey-hey, like being stoned

[muppy]

Well, here's a poke at you
You're gonna choke on it too
You're gonna lose that smile
Because all the while

I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles
Oh yeah

[PastaJoe]

But I would walk five hundred miles
And I would walk five hundred more
Just to be the man who walked a thousand miles
To fall down at your door

[muppy]

Eight miles high, and when you touch down
You'll find that it's stranger than known
Signs in the street, that say where you're going
Are somewhere just being their own

[Bill from NYC]

How many miles will it take to see the sun?
And how many years 'til it's done?
Kiss my confusion away in the night
Lay by my side when the mornin' comes

And the Baby looks around Him
Shares His bed of hay
With the burro in the palace of the King

He's a stranger in a strange land
A-tell me why – he's a stranger in a strange land (Hoo!)
Just a stranger in a strange land
Just a stranger in a strange land

[PastaJoe]

The king is gone but he's not forgotten
This is the story of Johnny Rotten
It's better to burn out than it is to rust
The king is gone but he's not forgotten

[DD4Bills]

A memo to a higher office
Open letter to the powers-that-be
To a God, a king, a head of state
A captain of industry
To the movers and the shakers —
Can’t everybody see?

[muppy]

I'm gonna find me a hole in the wall
I'm gonna crawl inside and die
'Cause my lady, now a mean ol' woman, Lord
Never told me goodbye

 

Can't you see, oh, can't you see
What that woman, Lord, she's been doin' to me?
Can't you see, can't you see
What that woman, Lord, she's been doin' to me?

[PastaJoe]

Down in Louisiana
Where the alligators grow so mean
Lived a girl that I swear to the world
Made the alligators look tame

Polk salad Annie
'Gators got your granny
Everybody said it was a shame
For the mama was working on the chain-gang
What a mean, vicious woman
