Lyrical Response

[Bill from NYC]

I left you far behind,

The ruins of the life you had in mind.

And though you still can't see,

I know your mind's made up,

You're gonna cause more misery.

 

Do what you're gonna do,

And go where you're going to,

Think for yourself 'cause I won't be there with you.

 

[Gray Beard]

You gotta go where you want to go
Do what you want to do
With whoever you want to do it with

 

You don't understand
That a girl like me can love just one man
Three thousand miles, that's how far you'll go
And you said to me please don't follow

 

[WhoTom]

I'm goin' to the country, baby do you wanna go?
But if you can't make it baby, your sister Lucille said she wanna go
And I sure will take her

[PastaJoe]

I'm goin' up the country, baby don't you want to go?
I'm goin' up the country, baby don't you want to go?
I'm goin' to some place, I've never been before
I'm goin' I'm goin' where the water tastes like wine
I'm goin' where the water tastes like wine
We can jump in the water, stay drunk all the time
I'm gonna leave this city, got to get away
I'm gonna leave this city, got to get away
All this fussin' and fightin' man, you know I sure can't stay
So baby pack your leavin' trunk
You know we've got to leave today
Just exactly where we're goin' I cannot say
But we might even leave the U.S.A.
It's a brand new game, that I want to play

[Gugny]

Spent my days with a woman unkind
Smoked my stuff and drank all my wine
Made up my mind to make a new start
Goin' to California with an aching in my heart
Someone told me there's a girl out there
With love in her eyes and flowers in her hair

[Gray Beard]

My friends feel it's their appointed duty
They keep trying to tell me all you want to do is use me
But my answer, yeah to all that use me stuff
Is I wanna spread the news that if it feels this good getting used
Oh, you just keep on using me until you use me up
Until you use me up

[SinceThe70s]

This is a song about Spike
He is a bad ass guy
Who just happens to be
A really good friend of mine

 

Everyone I know yeah
Who knows Spike, too
Would agree when I say the words
That, spike is cool

 

Yeah, the problem with my friend Spike
He has fallen into
A true love with a nice girl
Who has gotta lot of tattoos

 

He always talks crazy
Whenever she calls
He always talks like a baby
Yeah it's obvious
She has got him by the balls

[The Real Buffalo Joe]

Mother do you think they'll drop the bomb?
Mother do you think they'll like this song?
Mother do you think they'll try to break my balls?
Ooh, ah Mother should I build the wall?

Mother should I run for President?
Mother should I trust the government?
Mother will they put me in the firing mine?
Ooh ah, Is it just a waste of time?

[Gray Beard]

Mamas' don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
Don't let 'em pick guitars or drive them old trucks
Let 'em be doctors and lawyers and such
Mamas' don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
'Cause they'll never stay home and they're always alone
Even with someone they love

[The Real Buffalo Joe]

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

[WhoTom]

And we keep getting richer but we can't get our picture
On the cover of the Rollin' Stone

(Rollin' Stone) Gonna see my picture on the cover
(Rollin' Stone) Gonna buy five copies for my mother
(Rollin' Stone) Gonna see my smilin' face
On the cover of the Rollin' Stone

 

[The Real Buffalo Joe]

Whenever I see your smiling face
I have to smile myself
Because I love you, yes, I do
And when you give me that pretty little pout
It turns me inside out
There's something about you, baby
I don't know

[Gray Beard]

Smiling faces sometimes pretend to be your friend.
Smiling faces show no traces of the evil that lurks within.
Smiling faces, Smiling Faces, Sometimes they don't tell the truth.
Smiling faces, smiling faces tell lies and I got proof.
The truth is in the eye 'cause the eyes don't lie, amen.
Remember, a smile is just a frown turned upside down my friend.

[WhoTom]

Little faces keep no track of time
Little faces speaking out in rhyme
Little faces smiling in my mind

 

[SinceThe70s]

You think you got the interest
Come on and take the time
'Cause you know, I wanna be
Yours in a simple rhyme

[Gugny]

I'm looking for a girl who has no face
She has no name, or number
And so I search within his lonely place
Knowing that I won't find her

 

Well, I can't stop this feeling deep in inside me
Ruling my mind
I feel no sound
Don't know where I'm bound

[Gray Beard]

I can't stop this feeling
Deep inside of me
Girl, you just don't realize
What you do to me

 

When you hold me
In your arms so tight
You let me know
Everything's all right

 

I..., I'm hooked on a feeling
I'm high on believing
That you're in love with me

[Gugny]

Well come on
All you people
The time has come to get together
You gotta have a little rock 'n' roll music
To get you through the stormy weather
And do whatever you feel
when you let go
Nothin's gonna help you more than rock 'n' roll

 

So come on, put you hands together
Come on, put you hands together

Come on, You know it's now or never
Take a chance on rock 'n' roll

 

Oh are you feelin' satisfied
Come on let us give your mind a ride
Ooh are you ready tonight
Come on let us give your mind a ride
It's up to you.  You can do what you like
Come on let us give your mind a ride

[The Real Buffalo Joe]

They call it Stormy Monday
But Tuesday's just as bad.
They call it Stormy Monday
But Tuesday's just as bad.
Lord, and Wednesday's worse
And Thursday's all so sad.

The eagle flies on Friday,
Saturday I go out to play.
The eagle flies on Friday,
Saturday I go out to play.
Sunday I go to church,
Gonna kneel down and pray.

 

Lord have mercy,
Lord have mercy on me.
Lord have mercy,
Lord have mercy on me.
Though I'm tryin' and tryin' to find my baby,
Won't someone please send her home to me.

[WhoTom]

If you see my little red rooster
Please drive him home
If you see my little red rooster
Please drive him home
Ain't had no peace in the farm yard
Since my little red rooster's been gone

 

 

[PastaJoe]

Believe it or not
I started to worry
I wondered if I had enough class
But it was Saturday night
I guess that makes it all right
And you say, "Baby, have you got enough gas?"
Oh yeah

 

Little red Corvette
Baby you're much to fast, yes you are
Little red Corvette
You need to find a love that's gonna last, ah huh

[Gray Beard]

Smoke was comin' from out of the back
When I started to gain on that Cadillac
Knew I could catch him, I thought I could pass
Don't you know by then we'd be low on gas?

We had flames comin' from out of the side
Feel the tension. Man! What a ride!
I said, "Look out, boys, I've got a license to fly!"
And that Caddy pulled over and let us by

[WhoTom]

One foot on the brake and one on the gas,
Well, there's too much traffic, I can't pass,
So I tried my best illegal move
A big black and white come and crushed my groove again

 

[Gugny]

Black (black, black, black)
And blue (blue, blue)
And who knows which is which and who is who

Up (up, up, up, up)
And down (down, down, down, down)
And in the end it's only round 'n round (round, round, round)
 

Haven't you heard it's a battle of words
The poster bearer cried
"Listen son", said the man with the gun
There's room for you inside

[SinceThe70s]

And they'll tell you black is really white
The moon is just the sun at night
And when you walk in golden halls
You get to keep the gold that falls

[Bill from NYC]

I don't want to spend the rest of my life
Looking at the barrel of an Armalite
I don't want to spend the rest of my days
Keeping out of trouble like the soldiers say

I don't want to spend my time in hell
Looking at the walls of a prison cell
I don't ever want to play the part
Of a statistic on a government chart

There has to be an invisible sun
It gives its heat to everyone
There has to be an invisible sun
That gives us hope when the whole day's done

[Gray Beard]

I don't want to fade away
Oh I don't want to fade away
Tell me what can I do what can I say
'Cause darlin' I don't want to fade away

 

Well now you say that you've made up your mind
It's been such a long, long time since it's been good with us
And that somewhere back along the line you lost your love and 
I lost your trust
Now rooms that once were so bright 
Are filled with the coming night

[WhoTom]

There comes a redeemer and he slowly too fades away
There follows a wagon behind him that's loaded with clay
The seeds that were silent all burst into bloom and decay
The night comes so quiet, it's close on the heels of the day

[PastaJoe]

I'm gonna tell you how it's gonna be
(Bop-bop-bop-bop)
You're gonna give your love to me
(Bop-bop-bop-bop)
Love to last more than one day
(Bop-bop-bop-bop)
Love is loving and not fade away
(Bop-bop-bop-bop)
Love is loving and not fade away

[The Real Buffalo Joe]

My, my
Hey, hey
Rock and Roll
Is here to stay
It's better to burn out
Than to fade away

My, my
Hey, hey

[Gray Beard]

(Burn baby burn) burn that mother down
(Burn baby burn) disco inferno
(Burn baby burn) burn that mother down

Satisfaction came in a chain reaction

I couldn't get enough, so I had to self-destruct
The heat was on, rising to the top
Everybody going strong, and that is when my spark got hot

[The Real Buffalo Joe]

Your Mamma says you don't
Your Daddy says you won't
And I'm boilin' up inside
Ain't no way I'm gonna lose out this time, oh no

Tie your mother down
Tie your mother down
Lock your daddy out of doors
I don't need him nosin' around
Tie your mother down
Tie your mother down
Give me all your love tonight

[Bill from NYC]

Don't you ever go down, down, down, down, down
On Broadway Street
Don't you ever go down, down, down, down, down
On Broadway Street
Ain't nothing but heartaches there baby
(Oh baby)
With the kinda guy you plan to meet

I've done more for you
(More for you)
Than your daddy's ever done
I've done more for you
(More for you)
Than your daddy's ever done
I've done more for you
(More for you)
Than your daddy's ever done
I've done more for you
(More for you)
Than your daddy's ever done

[Gray Beard]

You got me runnin' goin' out of my mind
You got me thinkin' that I'm wastin' my time
Don't bring me down, no no no no no
I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor
Don't bring me down

 

You wanna stay out with your fancy friends
I'm tellin' you it's got to be the end
Don't bring me down, no no no no no
I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor
Don't bring me down

 

Don't bring me down

[RocCityRoller]

Run, run, run, run [repeat line four times]
You better run all day
And run all night
And keep your dirty feelings
Deep inside. And if you're
Takin' your girlfriend
Out tonight
You better park the car
Well out of sight
'Cause if they catch you in the back seat
Trying to pick her locks
They're gonna send you back to mother
In a cardboard box
You better run

[PastaJoe]

You don't know how much I love you
But I love you like the sun
I'd like to put my arms around you
And we could run run run runaway 
Let's run run run runaway 
Let's run run run runaway 

If you knew how much I miss you
Oh I miss you more each day 
I'd really like to come and see you 
And we could run run run runaway 
Run run run runaway 
Let's run run run runaway

[Gray Beard]

I walk along the avenue
I never thought I'd meet a girl like you
Meet a girl like you

 

With auburn hair and tawny eyes
The kind of eyes that hypnotize me through
You hypnotize me through

 

And I ran
I ran so far away
I just ran
I ran all night and day
I couldn't get away

[Bill from NYC]

I got a pocket, got a pocketful of sunshine.
I got a love, and I know that it's all mine.
Oh, oh whoa

Do what you want, but you're never gonna break me.
Sticks and stones are never gonna shake me.
No, oh whoa

Take me away (take me away)
A secret place (a secret place)
A sweet escape (a sweet escape)
Take me away (take me away)

[Gugny]

If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break
If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break
When the levee breaks I'll have no place to stay

Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan
Lord mean old levee taught me to weep and moan
It's got what it takes to make a mountain man leave his home
Oh well, oh well, oh well

[Gray Beard]

It's raining men, hallelujah, it's raining men, amen
I'm gonna go out to run and let myself get
Absolutely soaking wet
It's raining men, hallelujah
It's raining men, every specimen
Tall, blonde, dark and lean
Rough and tough and strong and mean

 

God bless mother nature, she's a single woman too
She took off to heaven and she did what she had to do
She taught every angel she rearranged the sky
So that each and every woman could find her perfect guy
Oh, it's raining men
