The return of the Lyric Association Thread

[rdiberna]

Any way you want it
That's the way you need it
Any way you want it
She loves to laugh
She loves to sing
She does everything
She loves to move
She loves to groove
She loves the lovin' things

[richblueyes]

I'm a soul man
I'm a soul man
I was brought up on a side street
I learned how to love before I could eat
I was educated at Woodstock
When I start lovin'
Oh I can't stop
I'm a soul man
I'm a soul man
I'm a soul man
I'm a soul man

[KEZHEAD]

By the time we got to Woodstock, we were half a million strong,
And everywhere was a song and a celebration.
And I dreamed I saw the bomber jet planes riding shotgun in the sky,
Turning into butterflies above our nation.

Coyote's in the coffee shop
He's staring a hole in his scrambled eggs
He picks up my scent on his fingers
While he's watching the waitresses' legs
He's too far from the Bay of Fundy
From appaloosas and eagles and tides
And the air conditioned cubicles
And the carbon ribbon rides
Are spelling it out so clear
Either he's going to have to stand and fight
Or take off out of here
I tried to run away myself
To run away and wrestle with my ego
And with this flame
You put here in this Eskimo
In this hitcher
In this prisoner
Of the fine white lines
Of the white lines on the free free way


It was GREAT seeing Joni on the Tee V last night getting the Kennedy award.
Great hearing Her music by Nora. Worked at Her home years ago. Burned in the Brain.

[KEZHEAD]

^ Coyote is my favorite by Joni, I was hoping they would play it last night but they didn’t have balls ^


Nice girls, not one with a defect
Cellophane shrink-wrapped, so correct
Red dogs under illegal legs
She looks so good that he gets down and begs
She is watching the detectives
"Ooh, it's so cute"
She's watching the detectives
When they shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot
They beat him up until the teardrops start
But he can't be wounded 'cause he's got no heart

[Brian129]

If he brings you happiness
Then I wish you all the best
It's your happiness that matters most of all
But if he ever breaks your heart
If the teardrops ever start
I'll be there before the next teardrop falls

[rdiberna]

I have a friend I've never seen
He hides his head inside a dream
Someone should call him and see
If he can come out
Try to lose the down that he's found
But only love can break your heart
Try to be sure right from the start
Yes, only love can break your heart
What if your world should fall apart?

[KEZHEAD]

Hey - man you talkin' back to me?
Take him out
You gotta keep 'em separated
Hey - man you disrespecting me?
Take him out
You gotta keep 'em separated
Hey they don't pay no mind
If you're under 18 you won't be doing any time
Hey, come out and play

[richblueyes]

Wake up and smell the coffee
Is your cup half full or empty?
When we talk, you say it softly
But I love it when you're awfully quiet
Hmm-mm, quiet
Hmm-mm
You see the piece of paper
Could be a little greater
Show me what you could make her
You'll never know until you try it
Hmm-mm
And you don't have to keep it quiet
And I know it makes you nervous
But I promise you, it's worth it
To show 'em everything you kept inside
Don't hide, don't hide
Too shy to say, but I hope you stay
Don't hide away
Come out and play

[KEZHEAD]

Reach out your hand if your cup be empty
If your cup is full, may it be again
Let it be known there is a fountain
That was not made by the hands of men

[richblueyes]

Maya, she dances
She dissolves into the light
Illusions of light
Oh Maya, she dances
Deep romance and poetry
Songs of ruin
Gurdjieff and Adi Da
She dances in the light
Dance in the light
Maya, she dances
Oh Maya, she dances

[rdiberna]

The screen door slams, Mary's dress waves
Like a vision, she dances across the porch as the radio plays
Roy Orbison singing for the lonely
Hey, that's me, and I want you only
Don't turn me home again
I just can't face myself alone again

[KEZHEAD]

When you dance
Do your senses tingle?
Then take a chance?
In a trance
While the lonely mingle
With circumstance?
I've got something to tell you
You make it show
Let me come over
I know you know
When you dance
I can really love

[rdiberna]

I can't stop the dance
Honey, this is my last chance
I said, can't stop the dance
Maybe this is my last chance

[KEZHEAD]

Don't stop believin'
Hold on to that feelin'
Streetlight, people
Don't stop, believin'
Hold on
Streetlights, people

[richblueyes]

Mama says, "Love is all that matters
Beauty should be deeper than your skin"
Living for the moment, lips and lashes
Will I ever find my way again?
Don't stop, don't stop the dance
Don't stop the dance
Don't stop, don't stop the dance

[rdiberna]

On Friday night she's all decked out
Her high heel shoes, her dress so tight
Dance, dance little sister, dance

[KEZHEAD]

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

[richblueyes]

Shakin' like a tree, rollin' like a log
Shakin' and a rollin' now, that ain't all
Hey hey hey, look at little sister
Hey hey hey hey, look at little sister
What about the neighbors, what they gonna say
Stop little sister, gettin' carried away
Hey hey hey, look at little sister
Hey hey hey hey, look at little sister

[rdiberna]

Sweet little sister,
You know you can't resist her
She got it made in the shade
Lord yeah, sweet little sister
Your Momma never missed her
'Till she got laid, laid, laid, alright
