AKA Get Down Baby (Get Out Tonight)

Everywhere sez you love me but ya
seldom read the truth
But when I look into your eyes
I can see who’s getting screwed

Get down, baby. Get packed,
get out tonight.
You’re gone, baby,
that’s right you heard me right.

A secret’s not a secret
unless it has been told
our private life’s not really ours
’til all the rights are sold.

Get down, baby…

you will get some mileage
from that small town trollop trip
but the journey’s strictly one way, babe
and heavenward ain’t it

Get down, baby…

his-tory will tell who-won the
battle for the truth
until-that-time let’s-keep the reading light
your quickie paperback will do
Get down, baby…
get packed, get out tonight
you’re gone
baby
that’s right
you heard me right

I might be in your arms tomorrow night
or I might never make it home (to you) at all

True Love, Baby, the bottom drops out
and then you fall
[ditto with out the baby]
It only happens one time baby
but if your lucky maybe not at all

I could live a thousand lifetimes
and ne-ver for-get a single one of your lies
[ditto]
I could die a million times
ant the ghost of you would still draw me back to life

Michelle (It’s Easy to Be Sad)

Michelle
Ma Bell was such a strange career choice
I know you did it to be around all them pretty boys
but I’m afraid you will never be annoyed
by smooth operators down in the break room
they’ve all got something better to do

Michelle
Ma bell was no place to meet boys
all the best they’re all just someone else’s broken toys
all of the strut and all of the noise
all the clothes and all the poise
they’ve all got something else to do
Michelle

It’s a saturday night michelle
It’s a saturday night michelle
It’s a saturday night michelle
And when Monday Morning comes around
You know you’ll hear how it all went down
and you know how it’ll make you feel
the same old loneseome way
It’s easy to be sad
when all your boyfriends are gay

Ma Bell was such a strange career choice

but I’m afraid you wont be annoyed by wolves in the break room
’cause everyones down in the executive rest room
combin their hair

Rachel Tell Me No

If you ever think I’m gonna fall if my
self-control ever starts to go
If I ever reach out to you
Rachel tell Me No

If I ever look far away
If I ever start to bare my soul
If I ever look deep in your eyes
Rachel Tell Me No

cH: Rachel tell me No
Rachel make me go
Rachel tell me Rachel Tell me
Rachel Tell me no

All this time you could have been mine
with the secrets that I know
For once I’m trying to do what’s right so
Rachel Tell Me No

Rachel baby you’re so young
you don’t see it but I’m so old
everything you dream I’ve already done so
Rachel tell me no

ch: Rachel tell me no
Rachel make me go
I’m no good I want it understood
Rachel tell me no

Without a Thought of You

Search AYoS | Random Song Lyric

To think that I once
felt sorry for you
it’s all that i can
bring my puny brain to do

you must think me quite naive
and don’t think I ain’t gonna leave
I just want you to know
what you put me through:

I won’t ever have a dream
without knowning it won’t come true
I won’t ever think of lonely
without a thought of you

Fallin’ for you
was a stretch for me
all your arty friends,
important people to bleed

as every artists knows
every show that
opens must close
you can put it in 30 pt type
in my review:

I won’t ever think of lonely
without a thought of you
i won’t ever have a dream
without knowning it won’t come true

I won’t ever think
forever
without knowing it’s
really never

I won’t ever think of lonely
without a thought of you

Cheri You Stole My Stereo

Cheri (Sherry), you stole my stereo
my dog Bill, my car and my Mac
You can keep the rest of it
but I’m here to tell you
I’m gonna get that Corvette back

ch:
Give me back my Sting Ray
and I’ll let your sister go
She followed me from Austin
but she’ll go home
if I’m the one that tells her so…

2
All the way thru hi school
I was the one who was supposed to break your heart
then we settle down
and you get bored and
you tear our world apart

3
I thought that we were happy
that just goes to show you what I know
I thought I changed all the locks
but I missed that one, you and your tweaker friend
took everything I owned

: Gsus Asus
Go back home and
tell all the kids
this is what it’s like
when their hero hits the skids
go out to the farm and
tell my ma and pa
the higher you climb
the farther you must fall

V :  Bm A D,A G
I started out thinking
that I’d always know the score
now I hardly know
what I was counting for
V – I have lost my one true love
my agent and my car
my condo and my dog
and twenty five guitars

CH : D A Bm,A G
Wake me up and say its all a dream
we could drink coffee and talk about what it all means
I dreamed I dreamed I threw it all away
If I could just wake up back in your arms today

V : but baby I was lost before
I left our town
I threw the map away
the day I put you down
V : yeah I hit the big time
but baby — the big time it hits back
and all the way up
I was looking back

CH : D A Bm,A G

V – I was on the fat side of heaven
how come it felt like hell
each day was a struggle
one day I just fell
V – The bottom dropped out
I laughed the whole way down
with a noose around yer neck
LA is a much nicer town

When You Look Through Me

Search AYoS | Random Song Lyric

 

You ask me where I’ve been
I wonder what it matters
I wonder why you should care at all

I wonder what you see
when you look through me
I feel like a ghost in my own home

Oh but weren’t the old days grand
our lives together like love letters in the sand
raise a glass to the past
but don’t look through
to a time when you loved me and I loved you

I go out walking
you stay home talking
those people on the phone know more about me than I do

I hear your laughter
don’t hear what you say after
but I hear that the joke’s all over town

chorus
