Don’t send me no distant salutations
Or silly souvenirs from far away
Don’t leave me alone in the twilight
The twilight is the loneliest time of day
The phone is ringing and the clock says 4 AM
If it’s your friends, well I don’t want to hear from them
Just leave your number and a message at the tone
Or you could just go on and leave me alone
So I got me an office, gold records on the wall
Just leave a message, maybe I’ll call
Jody went to fight in Belfast
Rudi stayed at home to starve
I could make it all worthwhile as a rock & roll star
Yeah it’s a mighty long way down rock n roll
From the Liverpool docks to the Hollywood Bowl
And you crawl up the mountains and you fall down the holes
All the way from Memphis
Ridin’ down the highway, goin’ to a show
Stop in all the by-ways, playin’ rock ‘n’ roll
Gettin’ robbed
Gettin’ stoned
Gettin’ beat up
Broken boned
Gettin’ had
Gettin’ took
I tell you people, it’s harder than it looks
It’s a long way to the top
If you wanna rock ‘n’ roll
Is my cock big enough?
Is my brain small enough?
For you to make me a star
Give me a toot
And I’ll sell you my soul
Pull my strings and I’ll go far
Reggae got soul
Got so much soul
Reggae got soul
For the young and old
Johnny Q, I’m loving your contributions in this thread.
Reggae Reggae Reggae. Here comes Johnny Reggae.
Johnny Reggae Reggae, lay it on me…
Lay your love on me.
Lay, lady, lay
Lay across my big brass bed
Stay, lady, stay,
Stay with your man awhile
The bed’s too big without you, the bed’s too big… without youuuuuuuuu
And IIIIIII will always love yyyyoooouuuu…
If you wonder how long I’ll be faithful
I’ll be happy to tell you again
I’m gonna love you forever and ever,
Forever and ever amen
And nothing sure is forever
When forever’s no time at all
As I lie amongst the heather bed
High above the ocean’s roar
Time has come today
Young hearts can go their way
Can’t put it off another day
I don’t care what others say
I don’t care if it rains or freezes
long as I got my plastic Jesus
fastened to the dashboard of my car
Soon I discovered that this rock thing was true
Jerry Lee Lewis was the devil
Jesus was an architect, previous to his career as a prophet
All of a sudden, I found myself in love with the world
So there was only one thing that I could do
That was ding a ding dang my dang a long ling long.
Fire on the mountain, run boys, run.
The devil’s in the house of the rising sun.
[del]The devil opened up his case and said: “I’ll start this show !”
Fire flew from his fingertips as he rosined up his bow.
He pulled the bow across his strings and it made an evil hiss.
Then a band of demons joined in and it sounded something like this.[/del]
