Speaking in Lyrics

[bovine knievel]

They said love was a thing of the past
That these days, nothing ever lasts
This old world is movin' too fast

[bovine knievel]

love stinks

[Slipkid42]

Happy and I'm smiling,
walk a mile to drink your water.
You know I'd love to love you,
and above you there's no other.
We'll go walking out
while others shout of war's disaster.
Oh, we won't give in,
let's go living in the past.

[bovine knievel]

You know sometimes, I don't know why,
But this old town seems so hopeless.
Yeah, I ain't really sure, but it seems I remember the good times
Were just a little bit more in focus.

[Slipkid42]

Passed the road to your house
That you never called home
Where they turned out your lights
Though they say you'll never know

I remember running through the wet grass
Falling a step behind
Both of us never tiring
Desperately wanting

[bovine knievel]

Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
Take me home (Oh, won't you please take me home)

[Slipkid42]

Sometimes I wonder if I'm ever gonna make it home again
It's so far and out of sight
I really need someone to talk to, and nobody else
Knows how to comfort me tonight

Snow is cold, rain is wet
Chills my soul right to the marrow
I won't be happy till I see you alone again
Till I'm home again and feeling right

[bovine knievel]

The ashtray says
You were up all night

[Slipkid42]

It's early in the morning
About a quarter till three
I'm sittin' here talkin' with my baby
Over cigarettes and coffee, now

[bovine knievel]

And I like cream in my coffee
And I like to sleep late on Sunday
And nobody knows me like my baby
And I like eggs over easy
With flour tortillas
And nobody knows me like my baby

[cortez the killer]

But I don't sense affection
No gratitude or love
Your loyalty is not to me
But to the stars above

[Slipkid42]

Maybe the Star of Bethlehem
Wasn't a star at all

[bovine knievel]

Jump up from my starbed and make another day
Underneath my california stars

[one belt loop]

Nup

I was living in the 60's and 70's and "all new music is shit" in the 90's


I do like this though


then there was the ever present football player rapist
they were all in love with Dianne
they were doing it in Dallas

It's from the 80s, sugar.

[cortez the killer]

Yeah, Ali McGraw got mad with you
For givin' head to Steve McQueen

[one belt loop]

The stars in your sky are the stars in mine
And both prisoners of this life are we
Through the same troubled waters we carry our time
You, and the convict, and me

There's a good thing to know
On the outside or in
That's to answer not where
But just who I am

For the stars in your sky are the stars in mine
And both prisoners of this life are we

[cortez the killer]

People tell us that we play too loud
But they don't know what our music's about
We never listen to the record company man
They try to change us and ruin our band.

[bovine knievel]

Well, the undertaker drew a heavy sigh seeing no one else had come,
And a bell was ringing in the village square for the rabbits on the run.
Band on the run, band on the run.

[Slipkid42]

We ain't never gonna change.
We ain't doin' nothin' wrong.
We ain't never gonna change
so shut your mouth and play along.

[cortez the killer]

So all of you folks in heaven not too busy ringing the bell
Some of us down here ain't doing very well
Some of us with our windows open in the southern cross motel

[bovine knievel]

Oh baby don't it feel like heaven right now
Don't it feel like something from a dream

[Slipkid42]

You
Soft and only
You
Lost and lonely
You
Strange as angels
Dancing in the deepest oceans
Twisting in the water
You're just like a dream

[cortez the killer]

An old man walks along on the sidewalk
Sunglasses and an old Stetson hat
The four winds blow the back of his overcoat away
As he stops with the policeman to chat

[Slipkid42]

I didn't know if it was day or night
I started kissin' everything in sight
But when I kissed a cop down on Thirty-Fourth and Vine
He broke my little bottle of Love Potion Number Nine

[cortez the killer]

Oh, where oh where can my baby be?
The Lord took her away from me

[bovine knievel]

Here's my story, its sad but true

It's about a girl that I once knew

She took my love then ran around

With every single guy in town

[Slipkid42]

I don't know what happens when people die
Can't seem to grasp it as hard as I try
It's like a song I can hear playing right in my ear
That I can't sing
I can't help listening

[cortez the killer]

Those are people who died, died
They were all my friends, and they died

[Slipkid42]

He was a friend of mine
Every time I think of him
I just can't keep from cryin'
'Cause he was a friend of mine

He died on the road
He died on the road
He just kept on moving
Never reaped what he could sow
And he was a friend of mine

[one belt loop]

I don't wanna argue
I don't wanna fight
But there will definitely be a party tonight
For a rocker
For a rocker
