The return of the Lyric Association Thread
Re: The return of the Lyric Association Thread
He must've thought that it was quite a joke
And I got a lot of laughs from a lots of folk
Seems I had to fight my whole life through
Some gal would giggle and I'd turn red
And some guy'd laugh and I'd bust his head
I tell you, life ain't easy for a boy named Sue

Re: The return of the Lyric Association Thread
Well the crowd cleared away
And I began to pray
And the water fell on the floor
And I'm telling you, son
Well, it ain't no fun
Staring straight down a forty-four

Re: The return of the Lyric Association Thread
I'm sailing away
Set an open course for the virgin sea
'Cause I've got to be free
Free to face the life that's ahead of me
On board, I'm the captain
So climb aboard
We'll search for tomorrow
On every shore
And I'll try, oh Lord, I'll try
To carry on
Set an open course for the virgin sea
'Cause I've got to be free
Free to face the life that's ahead of me
On board, I'm the captain
So climb aboard
We'll search for tomorrow
On every shore
And I'll try, oh Lord, I'll try
To carry on

Re: The return of the Lyric Association Thread
Cause she was eviler than evil, slippery like a fox
Set me up with pain and woe and, I swear it won't seem to stop
If I could just remove her hook from deep from within my soul
Swear I'll leave and not come back, just let me out that door
[Chorus]
Sailin', sailing 'cross the devil's sea
Too blind in love, too blind to see
Set me up with pain and woe and, I swear it won't seem to stop
If I could just remove her hook from deep from within my soul
Swear I'll leave and not come back, just let me out that door
[Chorus]
Sailin', sailing 'cross the devil's sea
Too blind in love, too blind to see
Re: The return of the Lyric Association Thread
There's a hole in my head where the rain comes in
You took my body and played to win
Ha, ha, woman, it's a cryin' shame
But you ain't got nobody else to blame
Evil woman
You took my body and played to win
Ha, ha, woman, it's a cryin' shame
But you ain't got nobody else to blame
Evil woman

Rock on, Gold Dust Woman
Take your silver spoon, dig your grave
Heartless challenge
Pick your path and I'll pray
Take your silver spoon, dig your grave
Heartless challenge
Pick your path and I'll pray
Re: The return of the Lyric Association Thread
This prayer is for you, my love
Sent on the wings of a dove
An idiot prayer of empty words
Love, dear, is strictly for the birds
We each get what we deserve
My little snow white dove
Rest assured

Re: The return of the Lyric Association Thread
How can you just leave me standing
Alone in a world that's so cold? (So cold)
Maybe I'm just too demanding
Maybe I'm just like my father, too bold
Maybe you're just like my mother
She's never satisfied (she's never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other?
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry

Re: The return of the Lyric Association Thread
You don't have no money?
He'll get you some
You don't have no car?
He'll get you one
You don't have no self-respect
You feel like an insect
Well don't you worry buddy
'Cause here he comes
Through the ghettos and the barrio
And the Bowery and the slum
A shadow is cast wherever he stands
Stacks of green paper in his
Red right hand
He'll get you some
You don't have no car?
He'll get you one

Re: The return of the Lyric Association Thread
Then one night in desperation
The young man breaks away
He buys a gun, steals a car
Tries to run, but he don't get far
And his mama cries
As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man
Face down on the street with a gun in his hand
In the ghetto
(In the ghetto)
And as her young man dies
(In the ghetto)
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
Another little baby child is born
In the ghetto
(In the ghetto)

Re: The return of the Lyric Association Thread
It's survival in the city
When you live from day to day
City streets don't have much pity
When you're down, that's where you'll stay
O-o-o-o
In the city
Oh, oh
O-o-o-o
O-o-o-o
In the city
Oh, ho

Re: The return of the Lyric Association Thread
Well, now, everything dies, baby, that's a fact
But maybe everything that dies someday comes back
Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty
And meet me tonight in Atlantic City

Re: The return of the Lyric Association Thread
As the wizards play down on Pinball Way on the boardwalk way past dark
And the boys from the casino dance with their shirts open like Latin lovers along the shore
Chasing all them silly New York girls

Re: The return of the Lyric Association Thread
Rey….let me finish that for you
I Love Bruce
Asbury Park was a lot different then
I’ve been to The Pony many times
Now, the greasers, ah, they tramp the streets
Or get busted for sleeping on the beach all night
Them boys in their high heels, ah, Sandy
Their skins are so white
And me, I just got tired of hanging in them dusty arcades, banging them pleasure machines
Chasing the factory girls underneath the boardwalk
Where they all promise to unsnap their jeans
And you know that tilt-a-whirl down on the south beach drag
I got on it last night and my shirt got caught
And they kept me spinning, babe, didn't think I'd ever get off

Re: The return of the Lyric Association Thread
Blood in the streets turn a river of sadness (she came)
Blood in the streets, it's up to my thigh (she came)
Yeah, the river runs red down the legs of a city (she came)
The women are cryin' and rivers are weepin' (she came)

Re: The return of the Lyric Association Thread
Must of been Great times!! Kerry
Just tonight I stood before the tavern
Nothing seemed the way it used to be
In the glass, I saw a strange reflection
Was that lonely woman really me?
Those were the days, my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days
La la la la...

Re: The return of the Lyric Association Thread
I told you about strawberry fields
You know the place where nothing is real
Well here's another place you can go
Where everything flows.
Looking through the bent-backed tulips
To see how the other half live
Looking through a glass onion.

Let it grow, let it grow
Let it blossom, let it flow
In the sun, the rain, the snow
Love is lovely, so let it grow

Who knows what stands in front of our lives
I fashion my future on films in space
Silence tells me secretly ev'rything, ev'rything
Singing my space songs on a spiderweb star
"Life is around you and in you"
Answer for Timothy Leary, deary
Let the sun shine
Leg The sunshine in

Re: The return of the Lyric Association Thread
Well you got to let your soul shine
Just like my daddy used to say
He used to say soul shine
Its better than sunshine
Its better than moonshine
Damn sure better than rain
