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

[Steadfast421]

You say that you need my love
And you're wanting my body, I don't mind
Baby all I've got is time
And I'm waiting to make you mine.

You say you wanna stay the night
But you'll leave me tomorrow, I don't care
All of your moves are right
We can take it anywhere.

This physical attraction
It's a chemical reaction
Physical attraction
It's a chemical reaction, yeah.

Shaggy - Boombastic
Girl, your admiration
If a tick me from the start
With your physical attraction
Girl you know to feel the spark
A man of few word naw go tell you no sweet talk
Naw go laba laba and a chat pure phart

I'll get straight to the point like a arrow or a dart
Come lay down in my Jacuzzi and get some bubble bath
Only sound you will hear is the beating of my heart
And we will mmm mmm and have some sweet pillow talk
I'm Boombastic
Say me fantastic
Touch me in me back
She says I'm Mr. Ro...mantic
Call me fantastic
She tick a lovely bug
She says I'm Mr. Boombastic
Say me fantastic
Touch me in me back
She says I'm Mr. Ro...mantic
Say me fantastic
Touch me in me back
She says I'm Mr. Boom...

 

[Steadfast421]

I stood unwound beneath the skies
And clouds unbound by laws
The crying rain like a trumpet sang
And asked for no applause.

Lay down your weary tune, lay down
Lay down the song you strum
And rest yourself 'neath the strength of strings
No voice can hope to hum.

The last of leaves fell from the trees
And clung to a new love's breast
The branches bare like a banjo moan
To the winds that listen the best.

I gazed down in the river's mirror
And watched its winding strum
The water smooth ran like a hymn
And like a harp did hum.

Lay down your weary tune, lay down
Lay down the song you strum
And rest yourself 'neath the strength of strings
No voice can hope to hum.

Wild Cherry - Play That Funky Music
Hey, once I was a boogie singer
Playin' in a rock-and-roll band
I never had no problems
Burnin' down the one-night stands

And everything around me
Got to start to feelin' so low
And I decided quickly
Yes, I did
To disco down and check out the show

Yeah they were dancin' and singin'
And movin' to the groovin'
And just when it hit me
Somebody turned around and shouted

"Play that funky music, white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music, white boy
Lay down that boogie
And play that funky music 'til you die."

'Til you die?

 

[Steadfast421]

I came upon a child of God
He was walking along the road
And I asked him, "Where are you going?"
And this he told me.

"I'm going on down to Yasgur's farm
I'm gonna join in a rock and roll band
I'm gonna camp out on the land
I'm gonna try an' get my soul free.”

We are stardust
We are golden
And we've got to get ourselves
Back to the garden.

"Then can I walk beside you?
I have come here to lose the smog
And I feel to be a cog in something turning.

"Well, maybe it is just the time of year
Or maybe it's the time of man
I don't know who l am
But you know, life is for learning.

 

[beachbaby179]

In a Shanghai noodle factory
Place where I once used to be
No where doing nothing
People there were made of steel
Tiny cogs in one big wheel
Turning never learning

 

[AmberLGreen]

This is a story that I have never told
I gotta get this off my chest to let it go
I need to take back the light inside you stole
You're a criminal
And you steal like you're a pro'
All the pain and the truth
I wear like a battle wound
So ashamed, so confused
I was broken and bruised
Now I'm a warrior
Now I've got thicker skin
I'm a warrior
I'm stronger than I've ever been
And my armor, is made of steel, you can't get in
I'm a warrior
And you can never hurt me again

 

[beachbaby179]

They cry in the dark, so you can't see their tears
They hide in the light, so you can't see their fears
Forgive and forget, all the while
Love and pain become one and the same
In the eyes of a wounded child

Because Hell, Hell is for children
And you know that their little lives can become such a mess
Hell Hell is for children
And you shouldn't have to pay for your love with your bones and your flesh

It's all so confusing, this brutal abusing
They blacken your eyes, and then apologize
Be daddy's good girl, and don't tell mommy a thing
Be a good little boy, and you'll get a new toy
Tell grandma you fell off the swing

 

[AmberLGreen]

His message was brutal but the delivery was kind
Maybe if I get this down, I'll get it off my mind, yeah
Oh, it serves to condition me and smoothen my kinks
Despite my frustration for the way that he thinks
And I knew the truth, when it came, would be to that effect
At least you're attracted to me which I did not expect
Didn't think you'd get my number down as such
But I never hated myself, for my age so much, yeah
And although my pride's, yeah, not easy to disturbed, yeah
You sent me flying when you kicked me to the curb, yeah
So with your battered jeans, yeah, and your Beasties tee
Now I can't work like this, no, with you next to me, yeah

 

[Steadfast421]

They came at night, leaving fear behind
Shadows were on the ground
No, nobody knew where to find him
No evidence was found.

"I'm never coming back!"
They heard him cry, and I believe him
Well, he never meant to do anything wrong
It's gonna get worse if he waits too long.

Billy, Billy, don't you lose my number
'Cause you're not anywhere that I can find you
Oh, now Billy, Billy, don't you lose my number
'Cause you're not anywhere that I can find you, oh no.

 

[AmberLGreen]

Take two of these and meet me in the shadows (yeah, yeah, oh)
If love's a drug, we're higher than stilettos, but you never know
We could fall to pieces, we could fall in step
We could keep on teasing, we could mine the depths (ah)
We could talk for hours, or we could make it up
We could call it "Fleeting, " we could call it
Les love, les sex, les drugs, les touch
We could call it "Fleeting, " we could call it, we could call it
Les love, les sex, les hand on les leg
We could call it "I don't care, " we could call it "Love"

 

[Steadfast421]

I fall to pieces
Each time I see you again.
I fall to pieces
How can I be just your friend?

You want me to act like we've never kissed
You want me to forget (to forget)
Pretend we never met (never met)
And I've tried and I've tried
But I haven't yet
You walk by and I fall to pieces.

I fall to pieces
Each time someone speaks your name
I fall to pieces
Time only adds to the flame.

 

[AmberLGreen]

I head down highway 40
Past the place we used to go
I don't stop to cry anymore
I just drive by real slow
And I don't feel the dagger
When somebody speaks your name
I guess that I'm just growing more
Accustomed to the pain
I'm getting used to
Not getting over you
Not wondering how to shake
A hurt that won't go away
Not knowing where to turn
Is something I thought I'd never learn
It's really nothing new
I'm just getting used to not getting over you

 

[beachbaby179]

Well you must be a girl with shoes like that
She said you know me well
I seen you and little Steven and Joanna
'Round the back of my hotel

Someone said you was asking after me
But I know you best as a blagger
I said tell me your name is it sweet?
She said my boy it's Dagger

 

[AmberLGreen]

And diamonds crusts their grips on their one off plimsolls
So little time for these one-off arseholes
Rigour mortis Ken and Barbie dolls
A pair of big shades and a push-up bra
It's such a short gap between the gutter and stars
But you've come a long way from the place that you started
So why'd you wanna go and get so downhearted?
Welcome to the kingdom of the blagger
Uncutting your nose, clean coat in your bladder
A whole lot happier, a whole lot sadder
Used to be satisfied, but now you feel like Mick Jagger

 

[beachbaby179]

RIP Bobby Sherman

Bein' alone at night makes me sad, girl
Yeah, it brings me down all right
Tossin' and turnin' and freezin' and burnin'
And cryin' all through the night
Whoa-oh
Julie, Julie, Julie, do ya love me?
Julie, Julie, Julie, do ya care?
Julie, Julie, are ya thinkin' of me?
Julie, Julie, will ya still be there?
We had so much fun together
I was sure that you were mine
But leavin' you, baby, is drivin' me crazy
It's got me wonderin' all the time

 

[Steadfast421]

All through the night
I delight in your love
All through the night
You're so close to me.

All through the night
From a height far above
You and your love
Bring me ecstasy.

When dawn comes to awaken me
You're never there at all
I know you've forsaken me
Till the shadows fall.

But then once again
I can dream
I've the right to be close to you
All through the night.

 

[AmberLGreen]

The pressure's rising I won't make it through tonight
This love immortal is an assassin's delight
Just blow me up or run me down or cut my throat
And when it's time for you to die
Detonate me
Shoot me like a cannon ball
Granulate me
Kill me like an animal
Decapitate me
Hit me like a baseball
Emancipate me
Free the animal, free the animal

 

[Steadfast421]

(With a boulder on my shoulder feelin' kinda older I tripped the merry-go-round
With this very unpleasing sneezing and wheezing the calliope crashed to the ground)

Blinded by the light
Revved up like a deuce
Another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
Revved up like a deuce
Another runner in the night.

(Some silicone sister with her manager mister told me I got what it takes
She said I'll turn you on sonny to something strong)

She got down but she never got tired
She's gonna make it through the night.

 

[AmberLGreen]

Maybe the sun's light will be dim
And it won't matter anyhow
If morning's echo says we've sinned
Well, it was what I wanted now
And if we're victims of the night
I won't be blinded by the light
Just call me angel of the morning, angel
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby
Just call me angel of the morning, angel
Then slowly turn away
I won't beg you to stay with me

Lady Gaga - Poker Face
Mum mum mum mah
Mum mum mum mah
Mum mum mum mah
Mum mum mum mah
Mum mum mum mah

I wanna hold 'em like they do in Texas, please (Woo)
Fold 'em, let 'em hit me, raise it, baby, stay with me (I love it)
LoveGame intuition, play the cards with spades to start
And after he's been hooked, I'll play the one that's on his heart

Oh, whoa-oh, oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I'll get him hot, show him what I've got
Oh, whoa-oh, oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I'll get him hot, show him what I've got

Can't read my, can't read my
No, he can't read my poker face
(She's got me like nobody)
Can't read my, can't read my
No, he can't read my poker face
(She's got me like nobody)

P-p-p-poker face, f-f-fuck her face
(Mum mum mum mah)
P-p-p-poker face, f-f-fuck her face
(Mum mum mum mah)

 

[AmberLGreen]

I've had blind dates hooked up with some real flakes
I've gone out with church boys, musicians are the worst
I've tried so hard, 'cause I'm just so die hard
Tried my best to play the part, wish you could see inside
But I've wished for so long
For someone to come and show me, lead by example
'Cause I've been waiting
I've tried every age, I'm so tired of the game
(I) I wanna be somebody's girl
Would you show me the way

Ray Anthony - Show Me The Way To Go Home

Show me the way to go home
I'm tired and I want to go to bed
I had a little drink about an hour ago
And it's gone right to my head
Everywhere I roam
Over land or sea or foam
You can always hear me singing this song
Said show me the way to go home.

Show me the way to go home
I'm tired and I want to go to bed
I had a little drink about an hour ago
And it's gone right to my head
Everywhere that I roam
Over land or sea or foam
You can always hear me singing this song
Show me the way to go home.

Show me, show me
Show me the road that leads home
Show me, show me
Show me the way to go home.
Everywhere that I roam
Over land or sea or foam
You can always hear me singing this song
Said show me, show me the way, to go home.

 

[AmberLGreen]

In this California king bed
We're ten thousand miles apart
I've been California wishing on these stars
For your heart, for me
My California king
Just when I felt like giving up on us
You turned around and gave me one last touch
That made everything feel better
And even then, my eyes got wetter
So confused, wanna ask you if you love me
But I don't wanna seem so weak
Maybe I've been California dreaming

 

[Steadfast421]

Now, the first of December was covered with snow
So was the turnpike from Stockbridge to Boston
The Berkshires seemed dream-like on account of that frosting
With ten miles behind me and ten thousand more to go.
There's a song that they sing when they take to the highway
A song that they sing when they take to the sea
A song that they sing of their home in the sky
Maybe you can believe it if it helps you to sleep
But singing works just fine for me.
So good night, you moonlight ladies
Rockabye, sweet baby James
Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose
Won't you let me go down in my dreams?
And rockabye, sweet baby James.
