Y's Lyrics Emporium II: Dreaded Sophomore Slump

[emsway]

As he stared past the fire,
His hunger to leave well it gnawed his poor heart alive,
Her skin smelled like black cherry, blossom perfume,
The sail boats they all sailed by
And a river she cried.
And the wind was suddenly sweeter? than Roosevelt pine,
The windows broke out and the cigarette smoke drifted by,
The bums on the bowery were swallowed in the lights as cars rumbled by in the night
Screaming run for your life.
With cool and silvery eyes
And a heart was fit for desire,
Drowned in a river of tears
Oh a river? she cried left her with a heart
Made of ashes and fire.

 

[SithLordSexyPants1]

Look out, Mama,
there's a white boat
comin' up the river
With a big red beacon,
and a flag,
and a man on the rail
I think you'd better call John,
'Cause it don't
look like they're here
to deliver the mail
And it's less than a mile away
I hope they didn't come to stay
It's got numbers on the side
and a gun
And it's makin' big waves.

 

[Hornblende]

Mott the Hoople and the Game of Life (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Andy Kaufman in the wrestling match (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Monopoly, twenty-one, checkers, and chess (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Mister Fred Blassie in a breakfast mess (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Let's play Twister, let's play Risk (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
See you heaven if you make the list (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Now, Andy did you hear about this one?
Tell me, are you locked in the punch?
Andy are you goofing on Elvis, hey, baby?
Are we losing touch?
If you believed they put a man on the moon, man on the moon
If you believe there's nothing up his sleeve, then nothing is cool

 

[SithLordSexyPants1]

Elvis is everywhere, man!
He's in everything.
He's in everybody...
Elvis is in your jeans.
He's in your cheeseburgers
Elvis is in Nutty Buddies!
Elvis is in your mom!
He's in everybody.
He's in the young, the old,
The fat, the skinny,
The white, the black
The brown and the blue
People got Elvis in 'em too
Elvis is in everybody out there.
Everybody's got Elvis in them!
Everybody except one person that is...
Yeah, one person!
The evil opposite of Elvis.
The Anti-Elvis
Anti-Elvis got no Elvis in 'em,
Lemme tell ya.
Michael J. Fox has no Elvis in him.
And Elvis is in Joan Rivers
But he's trying to get out, man!
He's trying to get out!
Listen up Joanie Baby!
Elvis is everywhere
Elvis is everything
Elvis is everybody
Elvis is still the king

Spoken/sung by Fred Blassie (damn that sith is quick; this refers to Horn's post)

Back when I was a kid, life was going swell
Till something happened, blew every thing to hell
That night my daddy stumbled in, all pale and weak
Said "A woman up the block just gave birth to a geek."

Mom said, "Sell it to the circus, what the heck."
Dad said, "Nope, this one's a pencil neck
And if there's one thing lower than a side show freak
It's a grit eatin', scum suckin', pencil neck geek."

You see if you take a pencil that won't hold lead
Looks like a pipe cleaner atached to a head
Add a buggy whip body with a brain that leaks
You got yourself a grit eatin', pencil neck geek

(Chorus)
Pencil neck geek, grit eatin' freak
Scum suckin', pea head with a lousy physique
He's a one man, no gut, losing streak
Nothin' but a pencil neck geek

Soon the geeks were poppin' up all over town
You couldn't hardly sneeze without knockin' one down
After a nice juicy steak, if you need a toothpick
Just reach for a geek, they'll do the trick

One day we cut one up for fish bait
Learned our lesson just a little bit late
Soon as the geek hit the drink, the water turned red
Next day, sure enough, all the fish were dead

Chorus

Most any night you know where I can be found
Yeah, stomping some geek's head into the ground
So keep the faith 'cause in Blassie you can trust
I won't give up 'til the last geek bites the dust

Chorus

They say, "these geeks come a dime a dozen."
I'm lookin' for the guy who's supplin' the dimes
Its gonna be real hard times for all of these
Grit eatin'
Scum suckin'
Boot lickin'
Drop kickin'
Gut grindin'
Nail bitin'
Glue sniffin'
Scab pickin'
Butt scratchin'
Egg hatchin'
Sleezy
Smelly
Pepper bellied
Dirty, lousy, rotten, stinkin', freaks
Nothing but a pencil neck geek

 

[SithLordSexyPants1]

(damn that sith is quick; this refers to Horn's post)

Quick? I did a lyric cut & paste 6-1/2 hours after Horn's post... that's not so quick

 

[Blues]

I need psychiatric therapy
I could use a lobotomy
Guess I'll never learn
Suppose I'll always be a worm

Freak of nature
Got a ten inch erection, a pimply complexion
Man I got problems, I'll bet you heard
I'm completely misunderstood

Fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa
Fa fa

I'm a monstrosity
I'm a human oddity
Everybody's staring at me
I'm an outcast from society
Freak of nature

Fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa

 

[beachbaby179]

She's here, Mr. Johnson
Ok, thank you very much

Granny, they're expecting you
You're a little late
So come right this way
Step right in, okay

What, say it now
(Yes) say it now, yeah

Me and the Ohio Players
Gonna tell you bout a worm
He's the funkiest
Worm in the world
Okay, sing it, fellas

There's a worm in the ground
Yes, there is
(That's right)
He's six feet down
(Six feet down)

 

[emsway]

Good evening
Do not attempt to adjust your radio, there is nothing wrong
We have taken control as to bring you this special show
We will return it to you as soon as you are grooving
Welcome to station W E F U N K, better known as We-Funk
Or deeper still, the Mothership Connection
Home of the extraterrestrial brothers
Dealers of funky music, P.Funk, uncut funk, the bomb
Coming you directly from the Mothership
Top of the chocolate milky way, 500,000 kilowatts of P.Funk power
So kick back, dig, while we do it to you in your eardrums
And me? I'm known as Lollipop Man
Alias, The Long Haired Sucker, my motto is
Make my funk the P.Funk, I want my funk uncut
Make my funk the P.Funk, I wants to get funked up
I want the bomb, I want the P.Funk, I want my funk uncut
Make my funk the P.Funk, I wants to get funked up

 

[ydahecnot]

Now listen!
I want to shake, I want to dance
So count it off a'one two three
I feel the beat, I'm in a trance
No better place to be
Daytime nightime, anytime
Things go better with rock
I'm goin' twenty four hours a day
I can't seem to stop
Turn up the radio
I need the music, gimmie some more
Turn up the radio
I want to feel it got to gimmie some more
Turn up the radio
I want to feel it got to gimmie some more

 

[beachbaby179]

Hello Honey, it's me
What did you think when you heard me back on the radio?
What did the kids say when they knew it was their long lost daddy-o?
Remember how we listened to the radio
And I said "That's the place to be"
And how I got the job as an FM Jock the day you married me?
It was two kids and I was was into AM rock
But I just had to run around
It's been ages since I left you babe
Let me tell you 'bout what's gone down

 

[Hornblende]

My head is spinning and my legs are weak
Goose step dancing, can't hear myself speak
Hope in the eyes of the ugly girls
That settle for the lies of the last chancers
When slow motion drunks pick wallflower dancers

You come here looking for the ride to glory
Go back home with a hard luck story
I can hardly wait around until the weekend comes to town

Play one more for my radio sweetheart
Hide your love, hide your love
Though we are so far apart
You've got to hide your love
Cause that's the way the whole thing started
I wish we had never parted

 

[afriendg]

I was tuning in the shine on the late night dial
Doing anything my radio advised
With every one of those late night stations
Playing songs bringing tears to my eyes
I was seriously thinking about hiding the receiver
When the switch broke 'cause it's old
They're saying things that I can hardly believe
They really think we are getting out of control

Radio is a sound salvation
Radio is cleaning up the nation
They say you better listen to the voice of reason
But they don't give you any choice 'cause they think
That its treason
So you had better do as you are told
You better listen to the radio

 

[sassygirlisback]

My heart's a stereo
It beats for you, so listen close
Hear my thoughts in every no-o-o-te
Make me your radio
And turn me up when you feel low
This melody was meant for you
Just sing along to my stereo

 

[ydahecnot]

Life's the same I'm moving in stereo
Life's the same except for my shoes
Life's the same you're shakin' like tremolo
Life's the same it's all inside you
It's so easy to blow up your problems
It's so easy to play up your breakdown
It's so easy to fly through the window
It's so easy to fool with the sound
It's so tough to get up
It's so tough
It's so tough to live up
It's so tough on you
Life's the same I'm moving in stereo
Life's the same except for my shoes
Life's the same you're shakin' like tremolo
Life's the same it's all inside you

 

[sassygirlisback]

I'm hard to love, hard to love,
Oh I don't make it easy,
I couldn't do it if I stood where you stood
I'm hard to love, hard to love,
You say that you need me,
I don't deserve it but I love that you love me good

 

[rob_4u2]

Maybe I'm foolish, maybe I'm blind
Thinking I can see through this and see what's behind
Got no way to prove it so maybe I'm blind

But I'm only human after all,
I'm only human after all

 

[ydahecnot]

You're having a hard time and lately you don't feel so good
You're getting a bad reputation in your neighborhood
It's alright
It's alright
Sometimes that's what it takes
You're only human
You're allowed to make your share of mistakes
You better believe there will be times in your life
When you'll be feeling like a stumbling fool
So take it from me you'll learn more from your accidents
Than anything that you could ever learn at school
Don't forget your second wind
Sooner or' later you'll get your second wind

 

[AKentuckyLady]

Like a moth to a flame
Burned by the fire
That's the way love goes

My love is blind
Can't you see my desire
Come with me don't you worry

I'm gonna make you crazy
I'll give you the time of your life
I'm gonna take you places you've never been before
and you'll be so happy that you came
Oh I'm gonna take you there

That's the way love goes
That's the way love goes
That's the way love goes
That's the way love goes

Don't mind if I light candles
I like to watch us play and baby I've got on what you like
Come closer baby closer reach out and feel my body
I'm gonna give you all my love

Oh sugar don't you hurry you've got me here all night
just close your eyes and hold on tight
Oh baby don't stop don't stop go deeper baby deeper
you feel so good I'm gonna cry

Oh I'm gonna take you there
That's the way love goes

 

[afriendg]

Another turning point , a fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go
So make the best of this test, and don't ask why
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time
It's something unpredictable , but in the end it's right
I hope you had the time of your life.

So take the photographs, and still-frames in your mind
Hang them on a shelf in good health and good time
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial
For what it's worth, it was worth all the while
It's something unpredictable , but in the end it's right
I hope you had the time of your life.

 

[daddysbaby150]

Pictures framing up the past
Your taunting smirk behind the glass
This museum full of ash
Once a tickle
Now a rash
This used to be a funhouse
But now it's full of evil clowns
It's time to start the countdown
I'm gonna burn it down down down
I'm gonna burn it down

 

[sassygirlisback]

It's all gonna shift, it's out of our hands
Babe if you could I know, you would hatch a plan
That's my, that's my man
If we're gonna die, bury us alive
If you're searching for us you'll find us side by side
That's my, that's my man
This world is gonna burn, burn burn burn
As long as we're going down,
Baby you should stick around
Baby you should stick around

 

[daddysbaby150]

I had a dream about a burning house
You were stuck inside
I couldn't get you out
I lay beside you and pulled you close
And the two of us went up in smoke
Love isn't all that it seems
I did you wrong
I'll stay here with you
Until this dream is gone
I've been sleepwalking
Been wondering all night
Trying to take what's lost and broke
And make it right
I've been sleepwalking
Too close to the fire
But it's the only place that I can hold you tight
In this burning house

 

[SithLordSexyPants1]

I had a dream last night
I dreamt that I was swimming
And the stars up above
Directionless and drifting
Somewhere in the dark
Were the sirens and the thunder
And around me as I swam
The drifters who’d gone under

Time, love
Time, love
Time, love
It’s only a change of time

I had a dream last night
And rusting far below me
Battered hulls and broken hardships
Leviathan and Lonely
I was thirsty so I drank
And though it was salt water
There was something ‘bout the way
It tasted so familiar

 

[Hornblende]

Song to the Siren

Long afloat on shipless oceans
I did all my best to smile
'Til your singing eyes and fingers
Drew me loving to your isle
And you sang
Sail to me
Sail to me
Let me enfold you
Here I am
Here I am
Waiting to hold you

Did I dream you dreamed about me?
Were you hare when I was fox?
Now my foolish boat is leaning
Broken lovelorn on your rocks,
For you sing, "Touch me not, touch me not, come back tomorrow:
O my heart, O my heart shies from the sorrow"

I am puzzled as the newborn child
I am troubled at the tide:
Should I stand amid the breakers?
Should I lie with death my bride?
Hear me sing, "Swim to me, swim to me, let me enfold you:
Here I am, here I am, waiting to hold you"
