What kinda guy am I really am?
I love some turkey, but I don't eat lamb. No sweet potato, but I do like ham. What kinda guy am I really am? What kinda guy am I really I? I kept my jacket, but I lost my tie. I'll tell ya truly that I sometimes lie. What kinda guy am I really I? What kinda guy am I really who? Don't wear pajamas and I don't sniff glue. I'm Mississippi, got the New York blues. What kinda guy am I really who? What kinda guy am I really what? I might be leavin', but the door ain't shut. I'm here for lovin', but I ain't no slut. What kinda guy am I really what? What kinda guy am I really am? I love some turkey, but I don't eat lamb. No sweet potato, but I do like ham. What kinda guy am I really am? ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By FORBERT, STEVE <i>Lyrics © EMI Music Publishing</i> |

Meet me in the middle of the day
Let me hear you say everything's okay Bring me southern kisses from your room Meet me in the middle of the night Let me hear you say everything's alright Let me smell the moon in your perfume Oh, Gods and years will rise and fall And there's always something more It's lost in talk, I waste my time And it's all been said before While further down behind the masquerade the tears are there I don't ask for all that much I just want someone to care That's right now Meet me in the middle of the day Let me hear you say everything's okay Come on out beneath the shining sun Meet me in the middle of the night Let me hear you say everything's alright Sneak on out beneath the stars and run Oh yeah, oh yeah yeah, oh yeah It's king and queen and we must go down now beyond the chandelier Where I won't have to speak my mind and you won't have to hear Shreds of news and afterthoughts and complicated scenes We'll huddle down behind the light and fade like magazines Meet me in the middle of the day Let me hear you say everything's okay Bring me southern kisses from your room Hey hey, meet me in the middle of the night Let me hear you say everything's alright Let me smell the moon in your perfume Oh now, meet me in the middle of the day Let me hear you say everything's okay Let me see you smiling back at me Hey, meet me in the middle of the night Let me hear you say everything's alright Hold me tight and love and loving's free Whoa yeah |

Pick me up shake me out And hang me on the line I'm a fool for you I looked up saw you smile And then I saw your eyes I'm in love with you You're too much for me I'm a worn out sail On the sidewalk sea There's a light There's a fire shining day and night It came burning through Shine on me shine on down You keep me high and dry I'm in love with you You're too much for me I'm a worn out sail On the sidewalk sea Too many faces Breaking aces half in two Some guys in scarlet Singing further down in the blues Eyes on the sidewalk They're ancient angry flashing true Baby it's too many mornings Waking lonely cause of you Time goes by You break on down You can't keep holding on You don't know what to do I looked up saw you smileI know I'm not so strong No and I'm in love with you You're too much for me I'm a worn out sail On the sidewalk sea |

I was sittin' by the road, my head in a cloud,
Wishin' that I had some wings; Wishin' for a scooter, a-wishin' for a train Or any kin' o' movin' thing. Well, I looked at the trees, I looked at the sky, I seen it was a lovely day. I looked up the road, I looked at my feet, I picked it up an' walked away. Well, you cannot win if you do not play. No, you cannot win if you do not play. Well, I went to the fair, lookin' for fun. I think the whole world was there. I saw a fat man, I saw a thin man. I saw a little teddy bear. Well, I said to myself, "I know what I want. I gotta get a bear some way." I heard a loud voice. It said a few words. It said, "You gotta take a chance an' pay." Well, you cannot win if you do not play No, you cannot win if you do not play Pretty young Pam, you're bringin' me down baby, All ya do is make-uh me blue. I'm under the trees, I'm waiting alone, Tryna sing a song to you. Well, the night is so clear, the moon is so bright; You're wastin' it all away. You're up on a hill, I'm down here below. I'm tryna tell ya babe, it ain't okay. Well, you cannot win if you do not play. You cannot win if you do not play. |

Plane comes down on the old runway, home again for a week I'll stay
Hanging out like I used to do, hope to find some old friends I knew Hear the news in the honky tonk, who got married, yes, and who split up G Drinking beer while the jukebox plays, brand new songs for brand new days Quiet nights and empty streets, sleepy town, humble home Same old waltz in the wind, by the railroad track Riding out to a country bridge, moonlight shining across the ridge Frozen trees neath a billion stars, 7 friends jammed in Robby's car High as kites and wild and gone, drunk as well and laughing loud Back at home I say good night (Good night) and I close the door Sunday morning the church bell rings, the organ plays and the choir sings. Where am I while the preacher speaks? Dreaming dreams neath my sheets asleep Waking up and trying to think, what went down, what'd we do? I rub my eyes and I shake my head and feel the sun Plane takes off on the old runway, snow fell light on the ground today Lost an hour that I gained before, headed back to my New York door. fare thee well, adios, adieu and best of luck to all of you I ain't no saint and I don't pretend to be, but I hope you all found a G friend in me ity lights blink and shine, down below, let it change It's often said that life is strange, oh yes, but compared to what? |

"Oh the engine's gone dead," cried the men who work there
And she passed up the dock on the wide Delaware Then the ship ran aground and the oil got away And they penned that report, "The Big Spill" on that day It was hundreds of thousands of gallons galore Stretching thirty-two miles down the Delaware shore There were geese in the marshes out looking for food They got stuck where they stood in the oncoming crude And it's oil, oil Ah, drifting to the sea Oil, oil Don't buy it at the station, you can have it now for free Just come on down to the shoreline where the water used to be In the well-charted waters of the Nantucket shoals There's a ship run aground full of oil, we were told In a week's worth of rough winter weather and waves The boat started cracking and it could not be saved It was seven-point-six million gallons this time Consider the danger and think of the crime As it poured out a slick stretching into the tide Over hundred-miles and yes, it came deep, it came wide And it's oil, oil Oil pouring in the sea Oil, oil Oh, don't buy it at the station, you can have it now for free Just come on down to the shoreline where the water used to be There's talk of some writing found in the ship's log Saying one of the helmsmen's unfit for his job And the ship's gyro compass was six degrees shy Their charts were outdated but they, they tried to get by And you know it's oil, oil Yeah, pouring in the sea Oil, oil Don't buy it at the station, you can have it now for free Just come on down to the shoreline where the water used to be Yeahhh Now both of these ships, like a great many more Got registered in through Liberian doors Inspections are quick and regulations are few Just sign on the line and go find you a crew, yes One of these ships was the Olympic Games The Argo Merchant was the other one's name Well it's sad, but it's true, things got worse for the seas 'Cause I ain't even mentioned Amoco Cadiz Amoco Cadiz, between England and France The big super tanker out there taking it's chance With its one-hundred-thousand black tons of the slime Amoco Cadiz spilled the most of all time Yes, ya' know it's oil, oil Man, it's creepin' in the sea Oil, oil Oh, don't buy it at the station, you can have it now for free Just come on down to the shoreline where the water used to be Now down in the Gulf east of Mexico Way There's something gone wrong, so the papers all say A Mexican oil well is leaking it's goo They say it's the worse that things have ever come to Yes it's gallons of sludge, sixty-million and more It's cruising and oozing towards many a shore Yes, things have got bad but they will probably get worse If you can't drink the oil, oh, you might, you might die of thirst Because it's oil, it's oil And it's creeping in the sea Oil, oil Don't buy it at the station, you can have it now for free Just come on down to the shoreline where the water used to be |

.Here's to all you all you lucky dogs, it's heads or tails.
Here's to all you filthy rich, I wish you well. Here's to all the pretty women made for cash. And here's to dashing daddy's son he's such a flash. Well, I been lookin' and walkin' 'round the sunset square, Singin' an' talkin' with my friends down there, sittin' an' lis'nin' with a young man's ear, to all the rainbow dreams Here's to all the shitty jobs that I despise. Here's to two-bit guarantees and other lies. Here's to roads of burning tar and hot cement. Here's to money in my hand and where it went. Well, I got my fingers a-tapping on the hard, stone steps. I'm waiting for lightning and the rains to fall. Young lovers are loafin' with their sidewalk smiles And all their rainbow dreams. Amy Alice in the Summer With a sack lunch and a punch card. See my sister with a drag job. Man, she feels like she's a hundred years ago. Here's to people living lives that they regret. Work your fingers to the bone and sink in debt. Here's to all those shaky tricks that hustlers try. You know their easy money is oft' times hard. They flash a grin an' they wink their eye, well... I been livin' an' breathin' in the rat trap town. Tryna get over where the wall breaks down. Holdin' my head up with my thin tired arms and all my rainbow dreams |
