The return of the Lyric Association Thread
Re: The return of the Lyric Association Thread
Go out yonder, peace in the valley
Come downtown, have to rumble in the alley
Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in
Has anybody seen my lady?
This living alone will drive me crazy
Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in
I'm gonna go down by the water
But I ain't gonna jump in, no, no
I'll just be looking for my neighbor
And I hear that that's where she's been, oh

Re: The return of the Lyric Association Thread
Oh well, I'm tired and so weary
But I must go alone
Till the lord comes and calls, calls me away, oh yes
Well the morning's so bright
And the lamp is alight
And the night, night is as black as the sea, oh yes
There will be peace in the valley for me, some day
But I must go alone
Till the lord comes and calls, calls me away, oh yes
Well the morning's so bright
And the lamp is alight
And the night, night is as black as the sea, oh yes
There will be peace in the valley for me, some day

Re: The return of the Lyric Association Thread
Show me the way to go home
I'm tired and I want to go to bed
I had a little drink about an hour ago
And it's gone right to my head
Everywhere that I roam
Over land or sea or foam
You can always hear me singing this song
Said show me the way to go home

Re: The return of the Lyric Association Thread
I'm so tired, I haven't slept a wink
I'm so tired, my mind is on the blink
I wonder should I get up and fix myself a drink
No, no, no
I'm so tired, I don't know what to do
I'm so tired, my mind is set on you
I wonder should I call you but I know what you would do
You'd say I'm putting you on
But it's no joke, it's doing me harm
You know I can't sleep, I can't stop my brain
You know it's three weeks, I'm going insane
You know I'd give you everything I've got
For a little peace of mind
I'm so tired, my mind is on the blink

No, no, no

Re: The return of the Lyric Association Thread
Hagar back at the start
Well, I'm feelin' pretty hot
And that's when I like it a lot.
And baby there's only one thing on my mind
We're gonna have a good time
We're gonna let it all unwind.
I'll foot the bill and have some fun if you will.
We gotta do it tonight
While the time is so right.
We'll have a good time,
Havin' a party tonight.

Re: The return of the Lyric Association Thread
Now my girl, you're so young and pretty
And one thing I know is true
You'll be dead before your time is due, I know
Watch my daddy in bed a-dyin'
Watched his hair been turnin' grey
He's been workin' and slavin' his life away, oh yes I know it
And I've been workin' too, baby (yeah!)
Every night and day (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!)
We gotta get out of this place
If it's the last thing we ever do
We gotta get out of this place
'Cause girl, there's a better life for me and you

There are places I'll remember
All my life though some have changed
Some forever, not for better
Some have gone and some remain

Re: The return of the Lyric Association Thread
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone?
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot

Re: The return of the Lyric Association Thread
There she stood in the street
Smiling from her head to her feet
I said hey what is this
Now maybe, baby
Maybe you're in need for a kiss
I said, "Hey, what's your name?"
Maybe we can see things the same
Now don't you wait or hesitate
Let's move before they raise the parking rate

What's your name?
Shootin' you straight, little girl?
Well there ain't no shame

Won't you do the same? Woo

Re: The return of the Lyric Association Thread
We've both been sound asleep
Wake up little Susie and weep
The movie's over, it's four o'clock
And we're in trouble deep
Wake up, little Susie
Wake up, little Susie
Well, what are we gonna tell your Mama
What are we gonna tell your Pa?
What are we gonna tell our friends
When they say, "Ooh la la!"

Re: The return of the Lyric Association Thread
It wasn't just the music
It wasn't just the wine
Some other kind of magic
Was sending shivers up my spine
Then I was falling
And I fell for you, and how
Darling, are we in trouble now
They say we're grown up
But we've been searching all this time
I wouldn't own up
Never would admit to flying blind
But in the Darkness
We found each other anyhow

Re: The return of the Lyric Association Thread
Well goodbye baby
Yeah, well take my hand
I don't want no woman, no
Who can't have no man
But someday baby, you ain't gonna trouble
Poor me, anymore

Re: The return of the Lyric Association Thread
When are you gonna come down?
When are you going to land?
I should have stayed on the farm
I should have listened to my old man
You know you can't hold me forever
I didn't sign up with you
I'm not a present for your friends to open
This boy's too young to be singing
The blues, ah, ah
So goodbye yellow brick road
Where the dogs of society howl
You can't plant me in your penthouse
I'm going back to my plough

Re: The return of the Lyric Association Thread
Down into town with a grip on his arm
Boob, Mister Rube landed in from the farm
He came to see if the farmer was right who said
"This is the life"
Soon like a loon, he was dancing about
One week of fun had him all tired out
They asked him what he thought of the city
And they heard old Reuben shout
Dancing around till the break of the day
Never was meant for a Reuben or a Jay
I've seen it all and I'm ready to say
I'm going back to the farm
Cabaret life is an awful disgrace
I've checked my hat till I'm blue in the face
I've handed out a fortune for a
Prince Albert and an old Fedora
I love the cows and chickens
The chickens you love to eat
Not those you have to treat
I'm going back to the farm

Re: The return of the Lyric Association Thread
We're so sorry, uncle Albert
We're so sorry if we caused you any pain
We're so sorry, uncle Albert
But there's no one left at home
And I believe I'm gonna rain
We're so sorry, but we haven't heard a thing all day
We're so sorry, uncle Albert
But if anything should happen
We'll be sure to give a ring

Re: The return of the Lyric Association Thread
Scarecrow on a wooden cross blackbird in the barn
Four hundred empty acres that used to be my farm
I grew up like my daddy did my grandpa cleared this land
When I was five I walked the fence while grandpa held my hand
Rain on the scarecrow blood on the plow

Re: The return of the Lyric Association Thread
One night as I was sleeping something awakened me
There was a light on in my barn so I went down to see
I peeked through a big ole crack in the door and what do you think I saw
The animals were havin' a barn dance right in the horses' stall

Re: The return of the Lyric Association Thread
I was a little too tall, could've used a few pounds
Tight pants points, hardly renowned
She was a black-haired beauty with big dark eyes
And points of her own, sittin' way up high
Way up firm and high
Out past the cornfields where the woods got heavy
Out in the back seat of my '60 Chevy
Workin' on mysteries without any clues
Workin' on our night moves
Tryin' to make some front page drive-in news
Workin' on our night moves
In the summertime
Umm, in the sweet summertime
