Y's Lyrics Emporium II: Dreaded Sophomore Slump

[SithLordSexyPants1]

We're havin' a party
Dancin' to the music
Played by the DJ
On the radio
The Coke's out in the icebox
Popcorn's on the table
Me and my baby
We're out here on the floor
So Mr, Mr. DJ
Keep those records playin'
'Cause I'm a-havin' such a good time
Dancin' with my baby

 

[daddysbaby150]

I am the DJ
And you are the record that I play
And when I scratch the surface
Does it still make you nervous
I am the DJ
And you're still my favorite mistake
So when you get that feeling
Keep dancing
Keep dancing
'Cause I am the DJ
I am the DJ
Every beautiful melody
Is tuned to say "I miss you when you're gone"
Sing to me, sing to me sweetly
Before the music dies and we're left with fragments of a song
Your song remains the same
Still spinning on the airwaves

 

[Hornblende]

Panic on the streets of London
Panic on the streets of Birmingham
I wonder to myself

Could life ever be sane again?
The leeds side-streets that you slip down
I wonder to myself

Hopes may rise on the grasmere
But honey pie, you're not safe here
So you run down
To the safety of the town

But there's panic on the streets of Carlisle
Dublin, Dundee, Humberside
I wonder to myself

Burn down the disco
Hang the blessed DJ
Because the music that they constantly play
It says nothing to me about my life
Hang the blessed DJ
Because the music they constantly play

 

[daddysbaby150]

I could wait all night and day
To go to a party sit down and wait
Give my request to the DJ cause my song he's gotta play
And when I hear that beat
I get my body up out my seat
I grab a guy and move my feet
He's playin' my song

[Chorus]
Play, come on play that song
Play it all night long
Just turn it up and turn me on
Play, come on DJ play that song you know that turns me on
(DJ just play that song)
Just turn it up and turn me on

 

[Blues]

I am a D.J., I am what I play
I got believers
Believing me, oh

One more, weekend, of lights and evening faces
Fast food, living nostalgia
Humble pie or bitter fruit

I am a D.J., I am what I play
Can't turn around no, can't turn around no, ooh

I am a D.J., I am what I say
Can't turn around no, can't turn around, ooh
I am a D.J., I am what I play
I've got believers
Believing me

 

[daddysbaby150]

Come Mr. DJ song pon de replay
Come Mr. DJ won't you turn the music up
All de gal pon de dancefloor wantin some more
Come Mr. DJ won't you turn the music up
Come Mr. DJ song pon de replay
Come Mr. DJ won't you turn the music up
All de gal pon de dancefloor wantin some more
Come Mr. DJ won't you turn the music up

 

[Suz_anne]

Hey Mr. DJ put a record on
I wanna dance with my baby
And when the music starts, I never wanna stop
It's gonna drive me crazy

Music makes the people come together
Music makes the bourgeoisie and the rebel

Don't think of yesterday and I don't look at the clock
I like to boogie-woogie (uh-uh!)
It's like riding on the wind and it never goes away
Touches everything I'm in, got to have it every day

 

[afriendg]

The last DJ
Well you can't turn him into a company man
You can't turn him into a whore
And the boys upstairs just don't understand anymore
Well the top brass don't like him talking so much
And he won't play what they say to play
And he don't want to change what don't need to change

There goes the last DJ
Who plays what he wants to play
And says what he wants to say, hey hey hey?

 

[daddysbaby150]

Sometimes I wish I could turn back time
Impossible as it may seem
But I wish I could so bad, baby
Quit playin' games with my heart
Quit playin' games with my heart
Before you tear us apart (my heart)
Quit playin' games with my heart
I should've known from the start
You know you got to stop (from my heart)
You're tearing us apart (my heart)
Quit playin' games with my heart

 

[SithLordSexyPants1]

Well my heart is a U F O
Well my heart is a U F O
Baby, my heart is a U F O
Welcome to my interstellar myocardium
Come on momma won't you kick it into hyper drive
We'll slipstream around behind Venus
You know we're better off where she ain't seen us
Because we don't need love to know it's good to be alive

My heart is a U F O
Well my heart is a U F O
It's true, that my heart
Is a U F O

Well if you'll come out tonight
We'll dance at the speed of light
And I'll have you back by sunrise
Before your man gets home

 

[daddysbaby150]

Come on skinny love just last the year
Pour a little salt we were never here
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer
I tell my love to wreck it all
Cut out all the ropes and let me fall
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Right in the moment this order's tall
I told you to be patient
I told you to be fine
I told you to be balanced
I told you to be kind
In the morning I'll be with you
But it will be a different kind
'Cause I'll be holding all the tickets
And you'll be owning all the fines

 

[wildebird]

She is my slender small love, my flow'r of beauty fair
From the whiteness of her little feet to the shining of her hair;
More fair she is than April rain on daffodil or tree:
She is my slender small love, my flow'r of beauty, she.

I know she walks in the evening down by the riverside,
And the grasses lean to kiss her robes who soon will be my bride:
More dear to me her little head than earth or sky or sea!
She is my slender small love, my flow'r of beauty, she.

 

[Mister_Song]

I am standing up at the water's edge in my dream
I cannot make a single sound as you scream
It can't be that cold, the ground is still warm to touch
This place is so quiet, sensing that storm

Red rain is coming down
Red rain
Red rain is pouring down
Pouring down all over me

Well I've seen them buried in a sheltered place in this town
They tell you that this rain can sting, and look down
There is no blood around see no sign of pain
Hay ay ay no pain
Seeing no red at all, see no rain

Putting the pressure on much harder now
To return again and again
Just let the red rain splash you
Let the rain fall on your skin
I come to you defences down
With the trust of a child

Red rain is coming down
Red rain
Red rain is pouring down
Pouring down all over me

 

[Hornblende]

That Charlie Sedarka was a-playing the piano
Like he was pawing a dirty book
He bit a hole in his big bottom lip and gave his
Very best little boy look

It was a song with a topical verse which I'm
Afraid he then proceeded to sing
Something about the moody doomed love of
The Fish-Finger King

You're nobody in this town
You're nobody in this crowd
You're nobody till everybody in this town
Thinks you're poison,
Got your number knows it must be avoided
You're nobody till everybody in this town
Thinks you're a bastard

 

[daddysbaby150]

I pretend that I'm glad you went away
But these four walls close in more every day
And I'm dying inside and nobody knows it but me
Like a clown I put on a show
The pain is real even if nobody knows
And I'm crying inside and nobody knows it but me
Why didn't I say the things I needed to say
How could I let my angel get away
Now my world is just a-tumblin' down
I can say it so clearly but you're nowhere around
The night are lonely, the days are so sad
And I just keep thinkin' about the love that we had
And I'm missing you and nobody knows it but me
How blue can I get, you could ask my heart
Just like a jigsaw puzzle it's been torn all apart
A million words couldn't say just how I feel
A million years from now, you know, I'll be loving you still
The night are lonely, the days are so sad
And I just keep thinkin' about the love that we had
And I'm missing you and nobody knows it but me
The night are lonely, the days are so sad
And I just keep thinkin' about the love that we had
And I'm missing you and nobody knows it but me

 

[Suz_anne]

I step off the train
I'm walking down your street again
Past your door, but you don't live there anymore
It's years since you've been there
Now you've disappeared somewhere, like outer space
You've found some better place

And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain

Could you be dead?
You always were two steps ahead, of everyone
We'd walk behind while you would run
I look up at your house
And I can almost hear you shout down to me
Where I always used to be

And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain

Back on the train, I ask why did I come again?
Can I confess, I've been hanging round your old address?
And the years have proved
To offer, nothing since you've moved
You're long gone, but I can't move on

And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you

 

[daddysbaby150]

You say
I only hear what I want to
And you say
I talk so all the time, so
And I thought what I felt was simple
And I thought that I don't belong
And now that I am leaving
Now I know that I did something wrong
'Cause I missed you
Yeah I missed you
And you say
I only hear what I want to
I don't listen hard
I don't pay attention
To the distance
That you're running or to
Anyone anywhere
I don't understand if you really care
I'm only hearing negative, no no no, bad
So I, I turned the radio on,
Iturned the radio up
And this woman was singing my song
Lovers in love and the other's run away
Lover is crying 'cause the other won't stay

 

[Blues]

I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
While you're far away and dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure

Don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing

'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream would never do
I'd still miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing

 

[daddysbaby150]

When my hair's all but gone and my memory fades
And the crowds don't remember my name
When my hands don't play the strings the same way, mm
I know you will still love me the same
'Cause honey your soul can never grow old, it's evergreen
Baby your smile's forever in my mind and memory
I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe it's all part of a plan
I'll just keep on making the same mistakes
Hoping that you'll understand
But baby now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Place your head on my beating heart
I'm thinking out loud
That maybe we found love right where we are,

 

[Hornblende]

Your street, rich street or poor
Used to always be sure, on your street
There's a place in your heart you know from the start
Can't be complete outside of the street
Keep moving on through the joy and the pain
Sometimes you got to look back
To the street again
Would you prefer all those castles in Spain
Or the view of your street from your window pane

And you walked around in the heart of town
Listening for that sound
And the street only knew your name
Well the street only knew your name, your name

 

[Kimleigh]

I got the call today I didn't wanna hear
But I knew that it would come
An old, true friend of ours was talkin' on the phone
She said you'd found someone
And I thought of all the bad luck and all the struggles we went through
How I lost me, and you lost you
What are all these voices outside love's open door
Make us throw off our contentment and beg for something more?

I've been learning to live without you now
But I miss you sometimes
The more I know, the less I understand
All the things I thought I knew, I'm learning them again
I've been tryin' to get down to the heart of the matter
But my will gets weak, and my thoughts seem to scatter
But I think it's about forgiveness, forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore

 

[Suz_anne]

A warning sign
I missed the good part, then I realized
I started looking and the bubble burst
I started looking for excuses
Come on in
I've gotta tell you what a state I'm in
I've gotta tell you in my loudest tones
That I started looking for a warning sign

When the truth is
I miss you
Yeah the truth is
That I miss you so

 

[Hornblende]

Warning sign, warning sign,
I see it but I pay it no mind.
Hear my voice, hear my voice,
It's saying something and I hope you're concentrating
I've got money now, I've got money now,
C'mon baby, c'mon baby.

Warning sign of things to come (take it over, take it over)
Someone's talking on my telephone (when we're older, when we're older)
Hear my voice, move my hair.
I move it around a lot, but I don't care. (what I remember)

 

[emsway]

We wove a sticky web in a dirty little game
And I was hypnotized
All your bad juju and all your weird voodoo
Made me go blind
There was nothing there but the shell of the girl
You left behind
But I wasn’'t seeing, I just wasn’'t seeing
Somehow I missed the warning signs

They were warning signs, warning signs, warning signs
They told me you were evil but I want you for mine

Black widow spelled out your name
That'’s how I knew you lied
And when the rattlesnake hissed it in my ear
I knew you'’d never get right
The raven winked his beady eye
Told me where you'’d been last night
Now I started seeing, slowly I was seeing
I couldn'’t miss the warning signs

They were warning signs, warning signs, warning signs
They told me you were evil, I don'’t want you for mine

Warning signs, warning signs, warning signs
They told me you were evil, I don'’t want you for mine

 

[daddysbaby150]

You think that we connect
That the chemistry's correct
Your words walk right through my ears
Presuming I like what I hear
And now I'm stuck in the web
You're spinning
You've got me for your prey
Sorry I'm not home right now
I'm walking into spiderwebs
So leave a message
And I'll call you back
A likely story, but leave a message
And I'll call you back
