I’ve been in love so many times
Thought I knew the score
But now you’ve treated me so wrong
I can’t take anymore
And it looks like
I’m never gonna fall in love again
I’m not in love, so don’t forget it
It’s just a silly phase I’m going through
And just because I call you up
Don’t get me wrong, don’t think you’ve got it made
I’m not in love, no, no
It’s because
You’ve caused me to spend all my money.
You laugh and call me old Santa Claus.
Well, I’m telling you, baby, I’m through with you.
Because, just because.
Just Because – Conway Twitty
-“BB”-
I love you for your pink Cadillac
Crushed velvet seats
Riding in the back
Cruising down the street
Waving to the girls
Feeling out of sight
Spending all my money
On a Saturday night
Honey I just wonder what you do there in back
Of your pink Cadillac
Used to worry about gamblin’
Throwin’ my money away
Used to worry about wastin’ time
And layin’ round the house all day
Rollin’. Randy Newman
Countin’ flowers on the wall
That don’t bother me at all
Playin’ solitaire ‘til dawn with a deck of 51
Smokin’ cigarettes and watchin’ Captain Kangaroo
Now don’t tell me, I’ve nothin’ to do
Too much of nothin’ can make a man feel ill at ease
One man’s temper might rise, while the other man’s temper might freeze
In the days of long confessions, we can not mock a soul
When there’s too much of nothin’, no one has control
Nothin’ from nothin’ leaves nothin’
You gotta have somethin’ if you wanna be with me
Nothin’ from nothin’ leaves nothin’
You gotta have somethin’ if you wanna be with me
Et cetera, et cetera, ad infinitum, ad astra, forever and ever
With Zero, my hero, how wonderful you are
I’m Zero the Hero
And my head has floated away
in the sky, don’t know why
And now this spaceship
headin’ for me
I thought I was lost
in the spaces
and now all these faces
And still I can’t tell
if it’s really a spell
or exactly
what’s happenin’ to me
I, I wish you could swim
Like the dolphins, like dolphins can swim
Though nothing, nothing will keep us together
We can beat them, for ever and ever
Oh we can be Heroes, just for one day
So long and thanks for all the fish
So sad that it should come to this
We tried to warn you all but oh dear?
You may not share our intellect
Which might explain your disrespect
For all the natural wonders that
Grow around you
Thank you for being a friend
Traveled down a road and back again
Your heart is true, you’re a pal and a confidant
I’m not ashamed to say
I hope it always will stay this way
My hat is off, won’t you stand up and take a bow
Oh, says Red Molly to James, “That’s a fine motorbike
A girl could feel special on any such like”
Says James to Red Molly, "My hat’s off to you
It’s a Vincent Black Lightning, 1952
I’m only fourteen, but I’m goin’ on fifteen
But I wanna be sixteen, so I can get me a hot rod
I want a streamline chassis, man it’s gotta be classy
I’ m gonna give it that certain touch
With a little bit of Von Dutch
I found a real cute baby, she’s a real swingin’ baby
And she says we’ll go steady just
As soon as I get me a hot rod
They arrested me and they put me in jail.
And called my pappy to throw my bail.
And he said, “Son, you’re gonna’ drive me to drinkin’
If you don’t stop drivin’ that Hot… Rod… Lincoln!”
Go on and write me up for 125
Post my face, wanted dead or alive
Take my license, all that jive
I can’t drive 55
Oh no
Uh
Zoooommm
Tooling down the highway doing seventy-nine
I’m a twin pipe papa and I’m feelin fine
Hey man dig that was that a red stop sign
Transfusion transfusion
I’m just a solid mess of contusions
Never never never gonna speed again
Slip the blood to me Bud
Go, greased lightnin’, you’re burnin’ up the quarter mile
(Greased lightnin’, go, greased lightnin’)
Go, greased lightnin’, you’re coasting through the heat lap trials
(Greased lightnin’, go, greased lightnin’)
Around the far turn in a straight-away,
I was blowing off everything that got in my way.
The Stingrays and Jags were so far behind,
I took my Cobra out of gear and let it coast to the line.
