The return of the Lyric Association Thread

[rdiberna]

The plowman is broad as the back of the land he is sowing
As he dances the circular track of the plow ever knowing
That the work of his day measures more than the planting and growing
Let it grow, let it grow, greatly yield

What shall we say, shall we call it by a name
As well to count the angels dancing on a pin
Water bright as the sky from which it came
And the name is on the earth that takes it in
We will not speak but stand inside the rain
And listen to the thunder shout
"I am! I am! I am! I am!"

[KEZHEAD]

I am he as you are he as you are me
And we are all together
See how they run like pigs from a gun
See how they fly
I'm crying

[rdiberna]

You know that I care what happens to you
And I know that you care for me too
So I don't feel alone
Or the weight of the stone
Now that I've found somewhere safe
To bury my bone
And any fool knows a dog needs a home
A shelter from pigs on the wing

[KEZHEAD]

The dogs begin to bark
All over my neighborhood and that ain't all
Dogs begin to bark
All over my neighborhood (mm, mm)
This is a mean old world to live in
And I can't face it all by myself

[Brian129]

Everybody let's sing, sing, sing
Yeah let's sing, sing, sing
Let's all pitch in, let freedom ring
And make a better world to live in

[KEZHEAD]

I will walk alone by the black muddy river
And sing me a song of my own
I will walk alone by the black muddy river
And sing me a song of my own

[rdiberna]

Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone

You'll never walk alone

Gerry and the Pacemakers

[KEZHEAD]

So I took a big chance
At the high school dance
With a missy who was ready to play
Wasn't me she was foolin'
'Cause she knew what she was doin'
And I know love was here to stay
When she told me to
Walk this way

[Brian129]

Eight miles high, and when you touch down
You'll find that it's stranger than known
Signs in the street, that say where you're going
Are somewhere just being their own

[KEZHEAD]

Sorry that you feel that way
The only thing there is to say
Every silver lining's got a
Touch of grey

[weironourown2]

Eight miles high, and when you touch down
You'll find that it's stranger than known
Signs in the street, that say where you're going
Are somewhere just being their own

[rdiberna]

I don't know
How to say what's got to be said
I don't know if it's black or white
There's others see it red
I don't get the answers right
I'll leave that to you
Is this love out of fashion
Or is it the time of year
Are these words distraction?
To the words you want to hear
Two hearts beat as one
Two hearts beat as one

[KEZHEAD]

In the white room with black curtains near the station
Black roof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings
Silver horses ran down moonbeams in your dark eyes
Dawn light smiles on you leaving, my contentment

[weironourown2]

Behind us black walls
Below us a bottomless canyon
Floating with no sound
Gulls far below
Seemed to be suddenly rising
Exploding all around

I'm goin' to catch that horse if I can
And when I do, I'll give her my brand

[KEZHEAD]

I'm woven in a fantasy, I can't believe the things I see
The path that I have chosen now has led me to a wall
And with each passing day I feel a little more like something dear was lost
It rises now before me, a dark and silent barrier between
All I am and all that I would ever want to be
It's just a travesty, towering, marking off the boundaries
My spirit would erase

[Brian129]

Check out her mama, before you say I do;
Check out her mama 'cause' jus' between me and you;
Unless her mama is fine, you better take your time;
She's gonna look jus' like her mama on down the line

[rdiberna]

And even if time ain't really on my side
It's one of those days for taking a walk outside
I'm blowing the day to take a walk in the sun
And fall on my face on somebody's new-mown lawn

[KEZHEAD]

And in the end
The love you take
Is equal to the love you make

[weironourown2]

And along come a deputy sheriff in a manner rather rude
Using vulgar words of language and his wife she overheard

And pretty boy Floyd grabbed a long chain, and the deputy grabbed a gun
And in the fight that followed, he laid that deputy down

Then he ran through the trees and bushes and lived a life of shame
Every crime in Oklahoma was added to his name

[rdiberna]

All around in my home town
They're tryin' to track me down, yeah
They say they want to bring me in guilty
For the killing of a deputy
For the life of a deputy but I say
Oh, now, now, oh
I shot the sheriff
(But I swear it was in self-defence) oh no, oh, oh, ooh
Yeah, I say, I shot the sheriff oh, Lord (and they say it is a capital offence))
