Wasting my time
Resting my mind
And I’ll never pine
For the sad days and the bad days
When we was workin’ from nine to five
Nobody’s perfect,
Not even a perfect gent.
When you properly took the A train,
I wonder where your manners were.
You were standing at the station,
In your briefcase was your aftershave and underwear.
Can you hear the whistle blow,
Sounds like time the avenger.
Time, time hear the bells chime.
Over the harbor in the city.
Time kill another bottle of wine,
To help paralyze that little
Tick, tick tick tick …
Nobody’s perfect least of all me
Married the job at age 23
Just keep my nose clean egg chips and beans
I’m always full of steam
When the Norman Luboff Chorus
Sings a song like this (like this, like this, like this)
Every single note is gorgeous,
But they sometimes miss.
No one’s perfect, no one’s perfect, no one’s perfect, and
That includes Fred Waring and His Pennsylvanians, and The Ray Charles Singers who were made famous by their frequent appearances on The Perry Como Show, and The Mormon Tabernacle Choir, and The Robert Shaw Chorale.
Pretty, pretty please, don’t you ever, ever feel
Like you’re less than fuckin’ perfect
Pretty, pretty please if you ever, ever feel
Like you’re nothing, you’re fuckin’ perfect to me
Woke up this morning with a wine glass in my hand
Whose wine, what wine, where the hell did I dine?
Must have been a dream. I don’t believe where I’ve been
Come on - let’s do it again
Do you, you feel like I do?
Do you, you feel like I do?
You woke up this morning
The world turned upside down
Lord above, thing’s ain’t been the same
Since the Blues walked into town
But you’re, but you’re one in a million
'Cause you’ve got that shotgun shine, shame about it
Born under a bad sign
With a blue moon in your eyes, yeah
I woke up this mornin’, feelin’ round for my shoes
Know ‘bout ‘at I got these, old walkin’ blues
Woke up this mornin’, feelin’ round for my shoes
But you know 'bout ‘at I, got these old walkin’ blues
I woke up this morning, baby
I had you on my mind
I woke up this morning, baby
You know that I felt so fine
The first day on my vacation, what I did on my summer vacation, the first day on my vacation, I woke up.
Then, I went downtown to look for a job.
Then I hung out in front of the drugstore.
The second day on my summer vacation, I woke up, then I went downtown to look for a job.
Then I hung out in front of the drugstore.
The third day on my summer vacation, I woke up…
Summer, it turns me upside down
Summer, summer, summer, it’s like a merry-go-round
I see you under the midnight, all shackles and bows
The high shoes with the cleats a-clicking, a temperamental glow
How could you let me go?
When the summer’s gone
She’ll be there standing by the light
Once she’s been to where she’s gone to
She should know wrong from right
Is she feelin’
Are you feelin’, you feelin’ that way too
Or am I just
Am I just your fool?
When I woke up this morning
Didn’t know right or wrong
Well, if the river was a whiskey
And I was a diving duck
If the river was a whiskey
And I was a diving duck
Well, I would dive to the bottom
I’d swear, I’d never come up
You’re as smooth as Tennessee whiskey,
You’re as sweet as strawberry wine.
You’re as warm as a glass of brandy,
And honey, I stay stoned on your love all the time.
Tennessee Whiskey – Chris Stapleton
And then along comes Mary
And does she want to give me kicks and be my steady chick and give me pick of memories
Or maybe rather gather tales from all the fails and tribulations no one ever sees?
When we met, I was sure out to lunch
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch
Deep frustration, a new sensation
Those it has no sense, it has no time
Disconnected, no not aggressive
Chaos into fury with my sign
The wall within your mind
'Til heaven or hell
Tribulation nation
Tribulation nation
Tribulation nation
Tribulation nation
I overwhelm as I approach you, make your lungs hold breath inside!
Lovers break caresses for me, love enhanced when I’ve gone by
You’ll feel me coming, a new vibration
From afar you’ll see me, I’m a sensation
I’m a sensation
Sleep baby sleep
Now that the night is over
And the sun comes like a god
Into our room
All perfect light and promises
Gotta hold on you
A new sensation (A new sensation)
Right now
Gonna take you over
A new sensation (A new sensation)
Once there was a way
To get back homeward
Once there was a way
To get back home
Sleep, pretty darling
Do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby
Golden slumbers fill your eyes
Smiles awake you when you rise
Mornin’ girl, how’d ya sleep last night?
You’re sev’ral ages older now
Your eyes have started showin’ how
The little girl’s growin’ now
