Y's Lyrics Emporium II: Dreaded Sophomore Slump

[AngelicaS1780]

The screen door slams
Mary's dress waves
Like a vision she dances across the porch
As the radio plays

Roy Orbison singing for the lonely
Hey that's me and I want you only
Don't turn me home again
I just can't face myself alone again

Don't run back inside
Darling, you know just what I'm here for
So you're scared and you're thinking
That maybe we ain't that young anymore

Show a little faith there's magic in the night
You ain't a beauty but hey you're alright
Oh and that's alright with me

 

[Polranny]

Jane and I'd been married for only a week
And were honeymooning down off Miami Beach
We took our rented cabin crusier way out past the reef
Doing as we pleased just my Jane and me
I was on the starboard bow baiting a hook
Jane was taking a sunbath and reading a book
And all at once the southern sky grew dark and it started to rain
The anchor chain began to strain the breeze became a hurricane
I was panic stricken so I quickly ran below
And tried to reach the coast guard on the short wave radio
I sent SOS's but no answer ever came
I called to Jane but the wind and rain had given Jane to the hurricane
All night long I searched through roaring waves and driving rain
And over a hundred mile per hour winds but all in vain
I was torn and bleeding and I cursed the hurricane
Used the name of God in vain I was insane from losin' Jane
Now the morning sun is hot the seas are calm once more
And the breeze is gentle as I head the boat for shore
My eyes can't help the crying and my heart can't help the pain
That's in my brain from losing Jane my everything my[darling /B]Jane6

 

[beachbaby179]

Just a castaway
An island lost at sea
Another lonely day
With no one here but me
More loneliness
Than any man could bear
Rescue me before I fall into despair
I'll send an SOS to the world
I'll send an SOS to the world
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle

 

[Blues]

The preacher talked to me and he smiled,
Said, "Come and walk with me, come and walk one more mile.
Now for once in your life you're alone,
but you ain't got a dime, there's no time for the phone."

I've just got to get a message to you, hold on, hold on.
One more hour and my life will be through, hold on, hold on.

 

[Kimleigh]

Well I'm so far away
That each step that I take is on my way home
A king's ransom in dimes I'd given each night
Just to see through this payphone
Still I run out of time
Or it's hard to get through
Till the bird on the wire flies me back to you
I'll just close my eyes and whisper,
Baby blind love is true

 

[ydahecnot]

So far away
Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore
It would be so fine to see your face at my door
Doesn't help to know you're just time away

Long ago I reached for you and there you stood
Holding you again could only do me good
Oh, how I wish I could
But you're so far away

 

[beachbaby179]

Stay, ah just a little bit longer,
Please, please, please, please, please,
Tell me that you're going to
Now your Daddy don't mind,
And your Mommy don't mind,
If we have another dance, yeah,
Just one more, one more time.

 

[Hornblende]

Tell me one more time, as I hold your hand that you don't love me
Tell me one more time, as teardrops start to fall
Shout it to me and I'll shout it to the skies above me
That there was nothing after all

Baby, baby, tell me that you never wanted my loving
Baby, baby, tell me that you never
Tell me, tell me one more time, one more time
Say you're leaving, say goodbye
One more time, one more time
Say you're leaving, say goodbye

Tell me one more time, we never had a thing in common
Tell me one more time, as you turn and face the wall
Tell me I should know you never were my kind of woman
And tell me we were fools to fall

 

[ydahecnot]

Okay, so you're heartbroken
You sit around mopin'
Cryin' and cryin'
You say you even think about dying?
Well, before you do anything rash
Dig this!

Everybody plays the fool sometimes
There's no exception to the rule
Listen, baby
It may be factual, may be cruel
I ain't lyin'
Everybody plays the fool

 

[Kimleigh]

You know I can be found, sitting home all alone
If you can't come around, at least please telephone
Don't be cruel, to a heart that's true
Baby if I made you mad, was it something that I might have said
Please let's forget the past, 'cause the future looks bright ahead
Don't be cruel, to a heart that's true
I don't want no other love, baby it's just you I'm thinking of

 

[beachbaby179]

Oh I can't take another heartache
Though you say you're my friend, I'm at my wits end
You say you is bonified, but that don't coincide
With the things that you do
When I ask you to be nice, you say
You gotta be, cruel to be kind, in the right measure
Cruel to be kind, it's a very good sign
Cruel to be kind, means that i love you baby (baby)
(You gotta be cruel) You gotta be cruel to be kind

 

[Kimleigh]

Hot summer streets and the pavements are burning
I sit around
Trying to smile but the air is so heavy and dry
Strange voices are saying (ah, what did they say)
Things I can't understand
It's too close for comfort
This heat has got right out of hand
It's a cruel, (cruel) cruel summer
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel, (it's a cruel) cruel summer
Now you're gone
You're not the only one
It's a cruel

 

[beachbaby179]

Nobody on the road,
Nobody on the beach
I feel it in the air
The summer's out of reach
Empty lake, empty streets
The sun goes down alone
I'm driving by your house
Don't know you're not home
But I can see you
Your brown skin shining in the sun
You got your hair combed back
And your sunglasses on, baby
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone

 

[Kimleigh]

It was 1989, my thoughts were short my hair was long
Caught somewhere between a boy and man
She was seventeen and she was far from in-between
It was summertime in Northern Michigan
Ahh Ahh Ahh
Ahh Ahh Ahh
Splashing through the sand bar
Talking by the campfire
It's the simple things in life, like when and where
We didn't have no internet
But man I never will forget
The way the moonlight shined upon her hair
And we were trying different things
We were smoking funny things
Making love out by the lake to our favorite song
Sipping whiskey out the bottle, not thinking 'bout tomorrow
Singing Sweet home Alabama all summer long
Singing Sweet home Alabama all summer long

 

[ydahecnot]

Sittin' in my car outside your house
(Sittin' in my car outside your house)
'Member when you spilled coke all over you blouse

T-shirts, cut-offs, and a pair of thongs
(T-shirts, cut-offs, and a pair of thongs)
We've been having fun all summer long

(All summer long you've been with me)
I can't see enough of you
(All summer long we've both been free)
Won't be long til summer time is through
(Summer time is through)
Not for us now

 

[AngelicaS1780]

The last days of the sunset superstars
Girls in cages playing their guitars
But how can I leave?
I just follow the hood of my car
In Los Ageless, the waves they never break
They build and build until you don't have no escape
But how can I leave?
I just follow my hood to the sea, go to sleep

How can anybody have you?
How can anybody have you and lose you?
How can anybody have you and lose you
And not lose their minds, too?
How can anybody have you?
How can anybody have you and lose you?
How can anybody have you and lose you
And not lose their minds, too?

 

[beachbaby179]

I'm driving in my car
I turn on the radio
I'm pulling you close
You just say no
You say you don't like it
But girl I know you're a liar
Cause when we kiss
Ooooh, Fire

Late at night
I'm takin' you home
When I say I wanna stay
You say you wanna be alone
You say you don't love me
Girl, you can't hide your desire
And when we kiss
Oh, Fire

and as a postscript, every time I see these lyrics, I end up singing them in my head in the voice of Elmer Fudd... like this ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUZUKRxYalU

 

[SithLordSexyPants1]

The last time I held you
You held the cards and I was
Asking for anything you had
You saw it coming but you
Didn't tell me and next
Thing everything turned bad

You got the car and I got the break
I've had as much as I can take
And my heart can't handle anymore
And all the kings horses and all the kings men
Couldn't put me back together again
So I laid in broken pieces on the floor
So don't come back for more

 

[Phosphene]

Open the door, get on the floor
Everybody walk the dinosaur

 

[Blues]

On the edge of oblivion
All the world is Babylon
And all the love and ev'ryone
A ship of fools sailing on
(Everybody)
Everybody have fun tonight
(Everybody)
Everybody have fun tonight

 

[beachbaby179]

Sittin' in the mornin' sun
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' comes
Watchin' the ships roll in
Then I watch 'em roll away again
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide, roll away
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

 

[Blues]

Look into your heart pretty baby
Is it aching with some nameless need?
Is there something wrong
And you can't put your finger on it?
Right, then roll to me

And I don't think I have ever seen
A soul so in despair
So if you want to talk the night through
Guess who will be there?

So don't try to deny it pretty baby
You've been down so long you can hardly see
When the engine's stalled and it won't stop raining
It's the right time to roll to me
Roll to me
Roll to me

And I don't think I have ever seen
A soul so in despair
So if you want to talk the night through
Guess who will be there?

So,
Look around your world pretty baby
Is it everything you hoped it'd be
The wrong guy, the wrong situation
The right time to roll to me
The right time to roll to me
The right time to roll to me

 

[ydahecnot]

Tellin' you darlin' we can do it in style
My imagination is drivin' me wild
'Cause the things that you're sayin'
Cuttin' right through me
Way that you're swayin'
Is gonna undo me and I'm

So high (you got me movin')
Rock me baby
Roll me away
So high (you got me movin')
Rock me baby
Roll me away

 

[Blues]

He was a punk and lived in the big city
It was in Vienna, in Vienna, where he did everything
He had debts because he drank, but women all loved him anyway
And everybody screamed: "Come and rock me Amadeus!"
He was a superstar, he was popular
He was exalted, because he had flair
He was a virtuoso, he was a rock idol
And everybody screamed: "Come and rock me Amadeus!"

 

[Polranny]

I never gargled, I never gambled, I never smoked at all.
Until I met my two good amigos, Nick Teen and Al K. Hall.
Strange as it seems, I met in my dreams, Nick Teen and Al K. Hall.
Here's what they said to me, 'Use your head, just see your life is very, very dull"
Well, I never gargled, I never gambled, I never smoked at all.
Until I met my two good amigos, Nick Teen and Al K. Hall.
So I said to Nick, 'Nick tell me quick, what should a fellow do?'
He said to me, 'Boy, easy to see boy, you should try a cigarette or two.'
Well, I never gargled, I never gambled, I never smoked at all.
Until I met my two good amigos, Nick Teen and Al K. Hall.
So I lit a fag, and I took a drag, then to my great surprise,
I started to gasp, and coughed like a rasp,
And everything spun round before my eyes.
Well, I never gargled, I never gambled, I never smoked at all.
Until I met my two good amigos, Nick Teen and Al K. Hall.
So I said to Al, 'Al, be a pal, what do you really think?'
He said to me, 'Boy, easy to see boy, smoking's kid's stuff, pour yourself a drink.'
Well, I never gargled, I never gambled, I never smoked at all.
Until I met my two good amigos, Nick Teen and Al K. Hall.
So quick as a wink, I took a drink swigged a glassful down.
First it seemed to hit me, then it turned around and bit me,
And everything went all spinning round.
Well, I never gargled, I never gambled, I never smoked at all.
Until I met my two good amigos, Nick Teen and Al K. Hall.
Well, here is the joke, when I awoke, it wasn't finished yet,
I noticed first a terrible thirst
And then a craving for a cigarette.
Well, I never gargled, I never gambled, I never smoked at all.
Until I met my two good amigos, Nick Teen and Al K. Hall.
Well, take my advice, this smoking is nice and the drinking is really lush.
As you can see, there's no change in me,
I'm still as pure as the driven slush.
Well, I never gargled, I never gambled, I never smoked at all.
Until I met my two good amigos, Nick Teen and Al K. Hall.
Nick Teen and Al K. Hall.
