Y’s Lyrics Emporium IV: Fab Four (Hi, Leigh!!!)

[Blueskiessmiling]

Your mama don't dance and your daddy don't
Rock and roll
Your mama don't dance and your daddy don't
Rock and roll.

 

[AbsintheFather]

And I turned twenty-one in prison doin' life without parole
No one could steer me right but Mama tried, Mama tried
Mama tried to raise me better, but her pleading, I denied
That leaves only me to blame 'cause Mama tried

 

[beachbaby179]

Times have changed and times are strange
Here I come but I ain't the same
Mama, I'm coming home
Times go bye, seems to be
You could have been a better friend to me
Mama, I'm coming home

 

[AbsintheFather]

Everybody's smoking and no one's getting high
Everybody's flying and never touch the sky
There's a UFO over New York and I ain't too surprised

Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Strange days indeed -- most peculiar, mama

 

[Mr_bogey]

She packed my bags last night, pre-flight
Zero hour, 9 a.m.
And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then
I miss the Earth so much, I miss my wife
It's lonely out in space
On such a timeless flight
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh, no, no, no
I'm a rocket man

 

[beachbaby179]

Let me tell you what it's like to be a zero, zero
Let me show you what it's like to always feel, feel
Like I'm empty and there's nothing really real, real
I'm looking for a way out
Hello, hello
Let me tell you what it's like to be a zero, zero
Let me show you what it's like to never feel, feel
Like I'm good enough for anything that's real, real
I'm looking for a way out

 

[Blueskiessmiling]

Let me tell you about a girl I know, she's my baby and I love her so
Every morning when the sun comes up
She brings me coffee in my favorite cup, that's why I know, yes I know
Hallelujah I just love her so.

 

[ydahecnot]

Little darlin', I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darlin', it seems like years since it's been clear
Here comes the sun, doo-doo-doo-doo
Here comes the sun, and I say
It's alright

 

[orangecurious]

Caught in the light
Like a sun to the ocean
Born in the night
In an orderly fashion
It's all alright
It's all alright
It's all alright
Leave 'em out in the open
Put it all on the line
I need to catch more fish, baby
I need to eat more rice
It'll take some time
Gonna take some time
Gotta bide my time

 

[beachbaby179]

You know it's alright, something's happening
Hold tight, it might be lightning
Turn up the lights, I feel like dancing
Can't sleep at night, my heart keeps missing a beat

 

[AbsintheFather]

There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I've got to beware

Think it's time we stop
Hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

 

[beachbaby179]

Motion in the ocean
His air hose broke
Lots of trouble
Lots of bubble
He was in a jam
S'in a giant clam
Rock rock
Rock lobster
Down, down

 

[Blueskiessmiling]

Rock me on the water
Sister, will you soothe my fevered brow?
Rock me on the water
I'll get down to the sea somehow (I'll get down to the sea somehow).

 

[AbsintheFather]

His sister's black, but she is sho'nuff pretty
Her skirt is short, but Lord her legs are sturdy
To walk to school, she's got to get up early
Her clothes are old, but never are they dirty
Living just enough, just enough for the city

 

[Blueskiessmiling]

Oh, pretty woman what you're trying to do?
You kept on foolin' around till I got stuck on you.
So you just drop that mess and come down off your throne.
Stop using my poor heart for just your stepping stone.

 

[beachbaby179]

You're making your mark in society
Using all the tricks that you used on me
All them high fashion magazines
The clothes you're wearin', girl, are causing public scenes
Not your steppin' stone
Not your steppin' stone

 

[Blueskiessmiling]

There's an oilman known as Tex
Who is keen to give me checks
And his checks, I fear, mean that sex
Is here to stay!
But I'm always true to you, darlin', in my fashion
Yes, I'm always true to you, darlin', in my way.

 

[beachbaby179]

And now, the end is near
And so I face the final curtain
My friend, I'll say it clear
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain
I've lived a life that's full
I traveled each and every highway
And more, much more than this
I did it my way

 

[Blueskiessmiling]

Life is a highway
I wanna ride it all night long
If you're goin' my way
Well, I wanna drive it all night long.

 

[Blueskiessmiling]

That's life (that's life)
I tell you, I can't deny it
I thought of quitting, baby
But my heart just ain't gonna buy it
And if I didn't think it was worth one single try
I'd jump right on a big bird and then I'd fly.

I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet
A pawn and a king
I've been up and down and over and out
And I know one thing
Each time I find myself layin'
Flat on my face
I just pick myself up and get
Back in the race.

That's life (that's life)
That's life and I can't deny it
Many times I thought of cutting out, but my heart won't buy it
But if there's nothing shaking, come this here July
I'm gonna roll myself up
In a big ball and die.

My, my

 

[AbsintheFather]

Yes, I am a pirate, two hundred years too late
The cannons don't thunder, there's nothin' to plunder
I'm an over-forty victim of fate
Arriving too late, arriving too late

 

[AmberLGreen]

And it feels like love, and it feels so good
I wanna feel like the roarin' thunder
Wanna be the heaven that your sky is under
Oh, I say, you say, oh (It's like love)
All that I need, baby it's true
The sand on my feet and you
I will go wherever you go
Take me where you lead
Lead me where you want
My heart doesn't know
Anything but what you say
You're the one for me
You make me feel complete

 

[ydahecnot]

I held her close
Until the storm passed
And we fell down laughing in the wet grass
Both our bodies drying in the sunshine
Sweet sunshine
So, sha la, la, la, la, la, my lady
In the sun with your dress undone
Now every mile away and every day
Cuts a little bit deeper
I'll remember the nights in the cool sand
Makin' love out on Thunder Island

 

[AbsintheFather]

Well I must be blessed 'cuz I have the best
And I've seen the light comin' through your dress
And all my friends they understand why I would kick and cry
Wouldn't mind dyin' for just another piece of that heavenly beautiful
Shoofly pie
Just a little bit of shoofly pie
Shoofly pie

 

[AmberLGreen]

You can't deny the energy
That we got goin' on
I know you feel the chemistry
This shit feels so strong
Cloud 9, I'm feelin' heavenly
This vibe we fell upon
You touchin' every part of me
This shit feels so strong
