Speaking in Lyrics

[schlanky]

I'll take Manhattan in a garbage bag
with Latin written on it that says
"it's hard to give a shit these days."
Manhattan's sinking like a rock
into the filthy Hudson, what a shock.
They wrote a book about it.
They said it was like ancient Rome.

The perfume burned his eyes
holding tightly to her thighs

[Zip City]

There's honesty, and then there's truth
And there's a thin, but un-moving line between the two

[whatwouldcooleydo?]

I'll take Manhattan in a garbage bag
with Latin written on it that says
"it's hard to give a shit these days."
Manhattan's sinking like a rock
into the filthy Hudson, what a shock.
They wrote a book about it.
They said it was like ancient Rome.

The perfume burned his eyes
holding tightly to her thighs

I was hoping someone would go with Dirty Boulevard (for some reason that song has been in my head a lot of late) but this works just as well From my favorite album of the 80s

[whatwouldcooleydo?]

Long distance runner, what you holdin' out for?
Caught in slow motion in a dash for the door.
The flame from your stage has now spread to the floor
You gave all you had. Why you wanna give more?
The more that you give, the more it will take
To the thin line beyond which you really can't fake.

[Markalanbishop]

Living on a thin line,
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?
Living on a thin line,
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?
Living on a thin line,
Living this way, each day is a dream.
What am I, what are we supposed to do?
Living on a thin line,
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?

[Flea]

The memories of a man in his old age
Are the deeds of a man in his prime.
You shuffle in gloom in the sickroom
And talk to yourself till you die.

[LBRod]

Memories are just dead men making trouble.

[tinnitus photography]

I'm been strung here all day
i've been waiting for the taste you said you'd bring to me

[Markalanbishop]

Walk away and taste the pain
Come again some other day
Aren't you glad you weren't afraid
Funny how the price gets paid

[whatwouldcooleydo?]

So let the game start, you better run you little wild heart
You can run through all the nights and all the days
But just across the county line, a stranger passing through put up a sign
That counts the men fallen away to the price you pay, and girl before the end of the day,
I'm gonna tear it down and throw it away

[LBRod]

Well, just think of all that we've been through
The world we were building, me and you
How could all those years be tossed away
In just one moment, in just one day?

[Clams]

Don't toss us away
So thoughtlessly
It just ain't right
Oh can't you see?
I still love you
I want you to stay
Darlin please don't toss us away

[whatwouldcooleydo?]

Don't toss us away
So thoughtlessly
It just ain't right
Oh can't you see?
I still love you
I want you to stay
Darlin please don't toss us away

kudos for the Lone Justice

[allisonsdc]

So, honey, It's the end of the affair,
It's the end of the affair, and I don't care
So, sugar, been a long hard dirty year
Been a long hard dirty year, my dear

You've got all your problems, I've got mine
(my hands are tied behind me)
All I ever do is waste your time
(I don't believe it's true)
It ain't right
It ain't right

[Markalanbishop]

Lord, lord Miss Sally, why all your cryin'?
Been around here three long days, you're lookin' like you're dyin'.
Just step yourself outside, and look up at the stars above
Go on downtown baby, find somebody to love.

Meanwhile I ain't wastin' time no more
'Cause time goes by like pouring rain, and much faster things.

[Clams]

BESIDES!! Them's highway miles!

[bovine knievel]

Thousand dollar car it ain't worth nothin'
Thousand dollar car it ain't worth shit.

[Clams]

Mister, the day my number comes in
I ain't never gonna ride in no used car again

[bovine knievel]

I got it one piece at a time
And it wouldn't cost me a dime

[Markalanbishop]

My pappy said son you're gonna drive me to drinkin'
if you don't stop driving that Hot Rod Lincoln

[whatwouldcooleydo?]

Tonight do me a favor on your way to do me wrong
Drop me at a honky tonk, don't leave me here alone
I washed and waxed the car today, I even filled the tank
If you're gonna drive me crazy, drive me to drink

[bovine knievel]

He said, "Gimme a ride to heaven boy
I'll show you paradise
Yeah, gimme a ride to heaven boy
My name is Jesus Christ

[whatwouldcooleydo?]

Now I have you with me, under my power
Our love grows stronger now with every hour
Look into my eyes, you will see who I am
My name is Lucifer, please take my hand
Oh yeah

[Markalanbishop]

Oh yeah, I'll tell you something
I think you'll understand
When I'll say that something
I wanna hold your hand
I wanna hold your hand
I wanna hold your hand

[schlanky]

You wouldn't know a diamond
If you held it in your hand
The things you think are precious
I can't understand

[whatwouldcooleydo?]

I can't understand, she let go of my hand
An' left me here facing the wall
I'd sure like to know, why she did go
But I can't get close to her at all

Though we kissed through the wild blazing nighttime
She said she would never forget
But now morning is clear, it's like I ain't here
She acts like we never met

[Markalanbishop]

When you say she's looking good
She acts as if it's understood
She's cool...

*Continuing my Beatles theme

[schlanky]

She's cool in bed
Well, she oughta be 'cause Ethyl's dead

Ethyl, Ethyl, let me squeeze you in my arms
Ethyl, Ethyl, come and freeze me with your charms

[Clams]

It was them high heeled shoes and that wig he made her wear

[allisonsdc]

Streets are like a slaughterhouse, turn right on the red
Here come pedestrians, night of living dead
It was them, it wasn't me
It was them, it wasn't me
Guess they should have stayed in bed
