The return of the Lyric Association Thread

[rdiberna]

She loves the free, fine, wild, knocked out, coo coo, groovy wind in her hair
Life's without a care
She's broke, but it's oak
She loathes California, it's so cold, and so damp
That's why the lady, that's why the lady
That's why the lady is a tramp

[KEZHEAD]

Psychic spies from China try to steal your mind's elation
And little girls from Sweden dream of silver screen quotation
And if you want these kind of dreams it's Californication

[rdiberna]

Everybody's a dreamer and everybody's a star
And everybody's in show biz, it doesn't matter who you are
And those who are successful
Be always on your guard
Success walks hand in hand with failure
Along Hollywood Boulevard

[Brian129]

Keep your hand on my shoulders, don't get lost in the line
There's nothing left to show
And there ain't no explaining what I feel inside
Let that motion row

[rdiberna]

Put your head on my shoulder
Hold me in your arms, baby
Squeeze me oh-so-tight
Show me that you love me too

Paul Anka

[KEZHEAD]

Mama's got a squeeze box
She wears on her chest
And when daddy comes home
He never gets no rest
'Cause she's playing all night
And the music's all right
Mama's got a squeeze box
Daddy never sleeps at night

[rdiberna]

Oh daddy
If I can make you see
If there's been a fool around
It's got to be me
Yes, it's got to be me

[Brian129]

Oh, Maybelline, why can't you be true
Oh, Maybelline, why can't you be true
You done start back doing the things you used to do

[KEZHEAD]

Oh mama, I'm in fear for my life from the long arm of the law
Lawman has put an end to my runnin', and I'm so far from my home
Oh mama, I can hear you a'cryin, you're so scared and all alone
Hangman is comin' down from the gallows, and I don't have very long

[weironourown2]

Hangman, hangman, hold it a little while
Think I see my friends coming
Riding a many mile
Friends did you get some silver?
Did you get a little gold?
What did you bring me my dear friends
To keep me from the gallows pole?
What did you bring me to keep me from the gallows pole?

[KEZHEAD]

Old friends, winter companions, the old men
Lost in their overcoats, waiting for the sunset
The sounds of the city sifting through trees
Settle like dust on the shoulders of the old friends

[rdiberna]

A smile relieves a heart that grieves
Remember what I said
I'm not waiting on a lady
I'm just waiting on a friend

[Brian129]

I'll remember you
When I've forgotten all the rest,
You to me were true,
You to me were the best.
When there is no more,
You cut to the core
Quicker than anyone I knew.
When I'm all alone
In the great unknown,
I'll remember you.

[Fishtown Boy]

When you get up in the mornin' and you see that crazy sun
Keep me in your heart for a while
There's a train leavin' nightly called "When All is Said and Done"
Keep me in your heart for a while

[KEZHEAD]

Get in the morning and it's just another day
Pack up my belongings I got to get away
Jump into a taxi and the time is getting tight
I got to keep a moving I got a show tonight

[rdiberna]

Well, its eight o'clock in Boise, Idaho
I'll find my limo driver
Mister, take us to the show
I done made some plans for later on tonight
I'll find a little queen
And I know I can treat her right

[Brian129]

I was a young man and I was sure to go astray
You walked right into my life and told me, 'love would find a way'

[KEZHEAD]

I was a young man, I couldn't resist
Started thinkin' it over, just what I had missed
Got me a girl and I kissed her and then and then
Whoops, oh lord, well I did it again

[Brian129]

Well, there's just a little bit of magic in the country music we're singin'
So let's begin
We're bringin' you back down home, where the folks are happy
Sittin', pickin' and a-grinnin', casually, you and me
We'll pick up the pieces, uh-huh

[KEZHEAD]

Got a black magic woman
Got a black magic woman
I've got a black magic woman
Got me so blind, I can't see
That she's a black magic woman
She's trying to make a devil outta me
