Lyrical Response

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
You been out ridin' fences for so long now
Oh, you're a hard one
But I know that you got your reasons
These things that are pleasin' you
Can hurt you somehow

 

Don't you draw the Queen of Diamonds, boy
She'll beat you if she's able
You know the Queen of Hearts is always your best bet
Now, it seems to me some fine things
Have been laid upon your table
But you only want the ones that you can't get

 

Desperado, oh, you ain't gettin' no younger
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home
And freedom, oh freedom, well that's just some people talkin'
Your prison is walking through this world all alone

 

Don't your feet get cold in the winter time?
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
It's hard to tell the night time from the day
You're losin' all your highs and lows
Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away?

 

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
Come down from your fences, open the gate
It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you
You better let somebody love you (let somebody love you)
You better let somebody love you
Before it's too late

 

quiet... it's my song...

And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind
That I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world

When I kiss you
I feel a thousand different feelings
A cover of chills
All over my body
And when I feel them
I quickly try to decide which one
I should try to put into words, woah oh
Try to put into words

 

 

[row_33]

I'm gonna tell the whole world how you put me through hell
And the better I tell it, the better it'll sell
How you made me make your breakfast
How you made me make your bed
And I'm gonna go and I'm gonna tell the whole world
Every surest word you said
 

 

 

[The Real Buffalo Joe]

Sometimes I think this woman is kinda hot
Sometimes I think this woman is sometimes not
Puts me down, fools me around
What's she doing to me?
Out for satisfaction, any piece of action
That ain't the way it should be
She needs love, smells out a man
She's gotta see
Pours my beer, licks my ear
Brings out the devil in me

Hell ain't a bad place to be

[Gray Beard]

If you're down and confused
and you don't remember who you're talking too
concentration slips away
cause you're baby is so far away

well there's a rose in the fisted glove
and eagle flies with the dove
and if you can't be with the one you love honey
love the one you're with

don't be angry - don't be sad
don't sit crying over good times you've had
there's a girl right next to you
and she's just waiting for something to do

 

well there's a rose in the fisted glove
and eagle flies with the dove
and if you can't be with the one you love honey
love the one you're with

turn your heartache right into joy
cause she's a girl and you're a boy
get it together come on make it nice
you ain't gonna need anymore advice

[row_33]

My sadness it is growing
I`m sure it`s started showing
This feeling`s getting stronger
I can`t hold back out much longer
It`s swelling deep inside
emotions I can`t hide

 

Then the heartaches begin
I`m telling you
The heartaches begin

 

* The Hollies - Then the Heartaches Begin - Evolution album 1967

 

Even on their psychedelic cover they forced the balding drummer to put a hat on.... those were the days...

When it's late at night, late at night
Let me tell you
When you got a headache
A little headache powder will help you
When you got a backache
Go down To John R. & Brush and a massage parlor will take care of you.
When it's late at night late at night late at night
Late at night
Late at night
Late at night
Late at night
When you got a heartache there ain't nothing you can do
When you got a heartache late at night
Ain't a thing you can do

[Gray Beard]

It's a heartache
Nothing but a heartache
Hits you when it's too late
Hits you when you're down

 

It's a fool's game
Nothing but a fool's game
Standing in the cold rain
Feeling like a clown

 

It's a heartache
Nothing but a heartache
Love him 'til your arms break
Then he let's you down

 

It ain't right with love to share
When you find he doesn't care for you
It ain't wise to need someone
As much as I depended on you

[PastaJoe]

You can tell the world you never was my girl
You can burn my clothes up when I'm gone
You can tell your friends just what a fool I've been
And laugh and joke about me on the phone
You can tell my arms go back to the farm
You can tell my feet to hit the floor
Or you can tell my lips to tell my fingertips
They won't be reaching out for you no more

 

But don't tell my heart
My achy breaky heart
I just don't think he'd understand
And if you tell my heart
My achy breaky heart
He might blow up and kill this man

[Gray Beard]

I can think of younger days
When living for my life
Was everything a man could want to do
I could never see tomorrow

 

But I was never told about the sorrow
How can you mend a broken heart?
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
How can you stop the sun from shining?

 

What makes the world go round?
How can you mend this broken man?
How can a loser ever win?
Please help me mend my broken heart

 

And let me live again
I can still feel the breeze
That rustles through the trees
And misty memories of days gone by

 

We could never see tomorrow
But no one said a word about the sorrow
How can you mend a broken heart?
How can you stop the rain from falling down

[SinceThe70s]

Some of you might not agree 
'Cause you probably likes a lot of misery 
But think a while and you will see 
Broken hearts are for....

[The Real Buffalo Joe]

As I walk this land with broken dreams
I have visions of many things
But happiness is just an illusion
Filled with sadness and confusion
What becomes of the broken-hearted
Who had love that's now departed?
I know I've got to find 
Some kind of peace of mind
Maybe

[Gray Beard]

Before you make up your mind
To give all that love that you've been hiding
Its just a question of when
I've told you time and again
I'll get all the love you've been denying

 

Sooner or later, love is gonna get ya
Sooner or later, girl you got to give in
Sooner or later, love is gonna let 'cha
Sooner or later, love is gonna win

 

You say you'll never be mine
But darling they'll come a time
I'll taste all that love that you've been hiding
Its just a question of time
Before you make up your mind
And give all that love you've been denying

 

You've been looking for love
In all the wrong places
You've been looking for love
All the wrong faces
Gotta get 'cha girl
Off this illusion
Gonna save your heart
From all this confusion

 

Sooner or later, love is gonna get ya
Sooner or later, girl you got to give in
Sooner or later, love is gonna let 'cha
Sooner or later, love is gonna win
Love is gonna win

[SinceThe70s]

Is that the stars in the sky or is it raining far from now?
Will it burn me if I touch the sun,
so bit, so round?
Will I be truthful, yeah,
in choosing you as the one for me?

Is this love baby,
or is it-a just confusion?

[KD in CA]

O say can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming, Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight O'er the ramparts we watch'd were so gallantly streaming? And the rocket's red glare, the bomb bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there,
O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

On the shore dimly seen through the mists of the deep Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes, What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep, As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses? Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam, In full glory reflected now shines in the stream,
'Tis the star-spangled banner - O long may it wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

And where is that band who so vauntingly swore,
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion
A home and a Country should leave us no more?
Their blood has wash'd out their foul footstep's pollution. No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave, And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

O thus be it ever when freemen shall stand
Between their lov'd home and the war's desolation!
Blest with vict'ry and peace may the heav'n rescued land Praise the power that hath made and preserv'd us a nation! Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto - "In God is our trust,"
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

[Gray Beard]

Pretty as a mid summers morn
They call her Dawn

 

Dawn, go away I'm no good for you
Oh, Dawn, stay with him, he'll be good to you
Hang on, hang on, hang on to you

 

Think what a big man he'll be
Think of the places you'll see
Now, think what the future would be
With a poor boy like me, me

 

Dawn, go away, please, go away
Although I know, I want you to stay
Dawn, go away, please, go away
Baby, don't cry, it's better this way
 

Dawn, go away back where you belong
Girl, we can't change the places where we were born
Before you say that you want me, I want you to

 

Think what your family would say
Think what your throwing away
Now, think what the future would be
With a poor boy like me, me

 

Dawn, go away I'm no good for you
Dawn, go away I'm no good for you

[PastaJoe]

Go away little girl
Go away little girl
I'm not supposed to be alone with you
Oh yes I know that your lips are sweet
But our lips must never meet
I belong to somebody else and I must be true.

 

Please go away little girl
Go away little girl
It's hurting me more each minute that you delay
When you are near me like this
You're much too hard to resist
So go away little girl before I beg you to stay.

Little sister, don't you
Little sister, don't you
Little sister, don't you kiss me once or twice
Then say it's very nice
And then you run
Little sister, don't you
Do what your big sister done

[Gray Beard]

Did you ever have to make up your mind?
And pick up on one and leave the other behind?
It's not often easy and not often kind.
Did you ever have to make up your mind?

 

Did you ever have to finally decide?
And say yes to one and let the other one ride?
There's so many changes and tears you must hide.
Did you ever have to finally decide?

 

Sometimes there's one with big blue eyes, cute as a bunny,
With hair down to here, and plenty of money,
And just when you think she's that one in the world,
Your heart gets stolen by some mousy little girl,

 

And then you know you'd better make up your mind.
And pick up on one and leave the other behind.
It's not often easy and not often kind.
Did you ever have to make up your mind?

 

Sometimes you really dig a girl the moment you kiss her,
And then you get distracted by her older sister.
When in walks her father and takes you in line,
And says, "Better go on home, son, and make up your mind."

 

And then you bet you'd better finally decide.
And say yes to one and let the other one ride.
There's so many changes and tears you must hide.
Did you ever have to finally decide?

[The Real Buffalo Joe]

Well, it was all
That I could do to keep from crying'

Sometimes it seemed so useless to remain
But you don't have to call me darlin', darlin'
You never even called me by my name

 

You don't have to call me Waylon Jennings
And you don't have to call me Charlie Pride
And you don't have to call me Merle Haggard anymore
Even though you're on my fighting' side

 

And I'll hang around as long as you will let me
And I never minded standing' in the rain
But you don't have to call me darlin', darlin'
You never even called me by my name

 

Well, I've heard my name
A few times in your phone book (hello, hello)
And I've seen it on signs where I've played
But the only time I know
I'll hear "David Allan Coe"
Is when Jesus has his final judgment day

 

So I'll hang around as long as you will let me
And I never minded standing' in the rain
But you don't have to call me darlin', darlin'
You never even called me by my name

 

Well, a friend of mine named Steve Goodman wrote that song
And he told me it was the perfect country & western song
I wrote him back a letter and I told him it was not the perfect country & western song 
Because he hadn't said anything at all about mama
Or trains, or trucks, or prison, or getting' drunk
Well, he sat down and wrote another verse to the song and he sent it to me
And after reading it I realized that my friend had written the perfect country & western song
And I felt obliged to include it on this album
The last verse goes like this here

 

Well, I was drunk the day my mom got out of prison
And I went to pick her up in the rain
But before I could get to the station in my pickup truck
She got run over by a damned old train

 

And I'll hang around as long as you will let me
And I never minded standing' in the rain, no
But you don't have to call me darlin', darlin'
You never even called me
Well, I wonder why you don't call me
Why don't you ever call me by my name

[row_33]

War, war is stupid and people are stupid
And love means nothing in some strange quarters
War, war is stupid and people are stupid
And I heard them banging on hearts and fingers
War

[The Real Buffalo Joe]

Generals gathered in their masses,
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction,
Sorcerer of death's construction

In the fields the bodies burning,
As the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to mankind,
Poisoning their brainwashed minds

Oh Lord yeah

 

Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role for the poor, yeah

Time will tell on their power minds,
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess,
Wait 'till their judgement day comes, yeah

 

Now in darkness world stops turning,
Ashes where the bodies burning
No more War Pigs have the power,
Hand of God has struck the hour
 

Day of judgement, God is calling
On their knees the war pigs crawling,
Begging mercies for their sins
Satan, laughing, spreads his wings
Oh Lord yeah

[Gugny]

Have you seen the little piggies
Crawling in the dirt?
And for all the little piggies
Life is getting worse
Always having dirt to play around in

Have you seen the bigger piggies
In their starched white shirts?
You will find the bigger piggies
Stirring up the dirt
Always have clean shirts to play around in

In their styes with all their backing
They don't care what goes on around
In their eyes there's something lacking
What they need's a damn good whacking

Everywhere there's lots of piggies
Living piggy lives
You can see them out for dinner
With their piggy wives
Clutching forks and knives to eat their bacon

[Gray Beard]

OH Would you like to swing on a star

carry moonbeams home in a jar

and be better off than you are

or would you rather be a mule

 

A mule is an animal with long funny ears

kicks up at anything he hears

His back is brawny but his brain is weak

he's just plain stupid with a stubborn streak

and by the way if you hate to go to school

You may grow up to be a mule

 

h would you like to swing on a star

carry moonbeams home in a jar

and be better off than you are

or would you rather be a pig

 

A pig is an animal with dirt on his face

his shoes are a terrible disgrace

He has no manners when he eats his food

He's fat and lazy and extremely rude

But if you don't care a feather or a fig

you may grow up to be a pig
 

 

[transient]

Hey pig 
Nothing's turning out the way I planned 
Hey pig there's a lot of things I hoped you could help me understand 
What am I supposed to do I lost my ***** because of you

[SinceThe70s]

Pig's in the mud 
When he tires 
Pig's in zen 
Pig's in zen 
Pig is nude
Unashamed 
Pig's in zen 
Pig's in zen

[Gray Beard]

I’m so tired of being alone
I’m so tired of on-my-own
Won’t you help me girl
Just as soon as you can

People say that I’ve found a way
To make you say that you love me
Hey baby, you didn’t go for that
It’s a natural fact
That I wanna come back
Show me where it’s at, baby

I’m so tired of being alone
I’m so tired of on-my-own
Won’t you help me girl
Soon as you can

I guess you know that I, uh, I love you so
Even though you don’t want me no more
Hey hey hey hey, I’m cryin’ tears
All through the years
I’ll tell ya like it is
Honey, love me if you will

[PastaJoe]

In a little while from now
If I'm not feeling any less sour
I promise myself to treat myself
And visit a nearby tower
And climbing to the top
Will throw myself off
In an effort to
Make it clear to whoever
Wants to know what it's like When you're shattered

 

Left standing in the lurch at a church
Were people saying, My God, that's tough
She stood him up
No point in us remaining
We may as well go home
As I did on my own
Alone again, naturally

[SinceThe70s]

Friends are so alarming, my lover's never charming
Life's just a cocktail party on the street, Big Apple
People dressed in plastic bags (Shadoobie, shattered)
Directing traffic, some kind of fashion
Shattered
 

[KD in CA]

Some folks like to get away, 
Take a holiday from the neighborhood
Hop a flight to Miami Beach or to Hollywood
But I'm takin' a Greyhound on the Hudson River line
I'm in a New York state of mind

 

I've seen all the movie stars in their fancy cars and their limousines
Been high in the Rockys under the evergreens
I know what I'm needin', and I don't want to waste more time
I'm in a New York state of mind

 

It was so easy livin' day by day
Out of touch with the rhythym and blues
But now I need a little give and take
The New York Times, the Daily News

 

It comes down to reality, and it's fine with me cause I've let it slide
I don't care if it's Chinatown or on Riverside
I don't have any reasons
I left them all behind 
I'm in a New York state of mind

[Gray Beard]

We'll find the romance and danger waiting in it
Beneath the Broadway lights;
But we've hair on our chests
So what we like the best are the nights
Sights! Lights! Nights!

New York, New York, a helluva town
The Bronx is up, but the Battery's down
The people ride in a hole in the groun'
New York, New York, it's a helluva town!

[Gugny]

I've seen the lights go out on Broadway
I saw the mighty skyline fall
The boats were waiting at the battery
The union went on strike
They never sailed at all

 

They sent a carrier out from Norfolk
And picked the Yankees up for free
They said that Queens could stay
And blew the Bronx away
And sank Manhattan out at sea

[row_33]

Whenever I need to leave it all behind
Or feel the need to get away-ay-ay
I find a quiet place, far from the human race
Out in the country

 

Before the breathin' air is gone
Before the sun is just a bright spot in the night-time
Out where the rivers like to run
I stand alone and take back somethin' worth rememberin

---------------------------------------------

 

We've been friends now for so many years
We've been together through the good times and the tears
Turned each other on to the good things that life has to give

We drift apart for a little bit of a spell
One night I get a call and I know that you're well
And days I was down you would help me get out of my hole

 

You told me when my girl was untrue
I loaned you money when the funds weren't too cool
I talked your folks out of making you cut off your hair

 

[those were the days]

 

[Gray Beard]

Be on my side. I'll be on your side, baby.
There is no reason for you to hide.
It's so hard for me staying here all alone,
When you could be taking me for a ride.

She could drag me over the rainbow,
Send me away.

Down by the river,
I shot my baby.
Down by the river.

Dead, ooh, ooh, shot her dead, ooh.

You take my hand, I'll take your hand.
Together we may get away.
This much madness is too much sorrow.
It's impossible to make it today.

She could drag me over the rainbow,
Send me away.

[KD in CA]

Then I got Mary pregnant
And man that was all she wrote
And for my nineteenth birthday I got a union card and a wedding coat
We went down to the courthouse
And the judge put it all to rest
No wedding day smiles no walk down the aisle
No flowers no wedding dress

 

That night we went down to the river
And into the river we'd dive
Oh down to the river we did ride, yeah yeah

[Bills4everNY]

The ice age is coming

The sun's zooming in

Meltdown expected 

The wheat is growing thin

Engines stop running 

But I have no fear 

Cause London is drowning

And I live by the river

[Gray Beard]

There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware

 

I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

 

There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind

 

It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

 

What a field-day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly say, hooray for our side

 

It's s time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

 

Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
You step out of line, the man come and take you away

[Johnny Hammersticks]

Alright stop, collaborate and listen.

Ice is back with a brand new invention.

Something grabs ahold of me tightly.

Then I flow that harpoon daily and nightly.

Will it ever stop?  Yo, I don’t know.

Turn off the lights and I’ll glow.

To the extreme I rock the mike like a vandal.

Light up the stage and wax a chump like a candle.
