The return of the Lyric Association Thread

[Brian129]

We were running red lights
We were going all night
Didn’t care about anything
‘Cause it was you and me
We were living our dream
And we were seventeen.

[KEZHEAD]

Well, she was just 17,
You know what I mean,
And the way she looked was way beyond compare.
So how could I dance with another (ooh)
And I saw her standin' there.

[rdiberna]

Well you're sexy and seventeen
My little rock-roll queen
Acts a little bit obscene
Gotta let off a little steam
Dig that sound shake it around you're mine, mine, mine

[KEZHEAD]

Well, shake it up, baby, now (shake it up baby)
Twist and shout (twist and shout)
Come on, come on, come, come on, baby, now (come on baby)
Come on and work it on out (work it on out)
Well, work it on out, honey (work it on out)
You know you look so good (look so good)
You know you got me goin' now (got me goin')
Just like you knew you would (like I knew you would)

[rdiberna]

Shake it up, make a scene
Let them know what you really mean
And dance all night, keep the beat
And don't you worry 'bout two left feet
Just shake it up, oo, oo
Shake it up, oo oo, yeah
Shake it up, oo, oo
Shake it up, oh, yeah

[Brian129]

Sittin' in a blue light diner
Wishin' life could be much finer
There's nothin' here but beer and a bunch of old men
And I'm so down I can't be choosin'
Here comes old Side Order Susie
So shake 'em up and let 'em roll, let 'em roll again

[KEZHEAD]

I've been down, but not like this before
Can't be 'round this kind of show no more
All, all that you dream
Comes to shine in silver lining
And clouds, clouds change the scene
Rain starts washing all these cautions

[Brian129]

There were times when I thought I couldn't last for long
But now I think I'm able to carry on
It's been a long, been a long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will

[rdiberna]

I've been run down and I've been lied to.
And I don't know why, I let that mean woman make me a fool.

[trisha]

I’ve got to run to keep on hiding
And I’m bound to keep on riding
And I got one more silver dollar
But I’m not gonna let them catch me
No not gonna let them catch the midnight rider

[KEZHEAD]

All that I am asking for is ten gold dollars
And I could pay you back with one good hand
You can look around about the wide world over
And you'll never find another honest man

[rdiberna]

My uncle start winning, the cowboys got sore
One of them called him, and then two more
Accused him of cheatin', oh no, it couldn't be
I know my uncle, he's as honest as me
Hey now, I'm as honest as a Denver man can be, that's right

[Brian129]

Down along the Left Bank, minding my own
Was knocked down by a human stampede
Got arrested for inciting a peaceful riot
When all I wanted was a cup of tea
I was accused, whoo

[rdiberna]

Here comes the story of the Hurricane
The man the authorities came to blame
For somethin' that he never done
Put in a prison cell, but one time he coulda been
The champion of the world

[KEZHEAD]

We are the champions, my friends
And we'll keep on fighting till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions of the World

[rdiberna]

Well, now what can a poor boy do
Except to sing for a rock and roll band?
'Cause in sleepy London Town
There's just no place for street fighting man, no

Get down

[Brian129]

Can you picture what will be?
So limitless and free
Desperately in need of some stranger's hand
In a desperate land

[rdiberna]

… So, remember, every picture tells a story, don't it?
Every picture tells a story, don't it?
Every picture tells a story, don't it? Whoo

[KEZHEAD]

Pictures of Lily that make my life so wonderful
Pictures of Lily that let me sleep at night
Pictures of Lily that solved my childhood problem
Pictures of Lily, they make me feel alright

A holiday in August
Outside a bed and breakfast
In the sunny Southend
