Take It Off My Shoulders Lyrics

2 ContributorsTake It Off My Shoulders LyricsTake it off of my shoulders
I don't need your heavy load
Take it off of my shoulders
Devil get out of my soul
Away from my soul
Wake up angel, I am calling
Don't want to drink this misery
Help me out so I can say now
Devil get out of my soul
Away from my soul
Dancin', prancin', high financin'
No time left for love
There's only one life and you gotta make the best of it this time
Wheelin', dealin', never feelin'
What you might have been dreamin' of
There's only one chance and you gotta grab just what you can
Take it off of my shoulders
Devil get out of my soul
Away from my soul

Musicione Lyrics

2 ContributorsMusicione LyricsSail away over northern waters
Sail away for free
Get a holiday
You're in the thick of it
Who makes the music when you die
Musicione
You're in the thick of it
Sail away over northern waters
Sail away for free
Get a holiday, musicione
Who makes the music when you die
Musicione

Miss Frizzy Lyrics

2 ContributorsMiss Frizzy LyricsTell your city slickin' cousin
Lay that peppermint twister down
She's been shakin' up my biscuits
Draggin' my feet all over town
There's some bacon in the kitchen
And a clean towel behind the door
Yes I'll meet you at the warehouse
Then I'll never see you no more
And it's too much for me
All that lovin' for one man
Yeah she's too much for me
But I'll do the best I can
She used to call me "Rascal"
But now she calls me "Dapper Dan"

Glamour Boy Lyrics

4 ContributorsGlamour Boy LyricsGlamour boy
Get your costume on
You got 'em lined up waiting for you
Glamour boy
You got 'em standing in the aisles
So don't hang 'em up
For $25,000 you can look like a woman tonight
For $25,000 I think it'll work out right
I think it'll work out, uh-huh
I think it'll work out
Oh, you never know how to ride it
Think it'll work out
Glamour boy
You've been tops for a while
With a million dollar smile
Glamour boy
You got rave reviews
And you're front page news
For $37,000 you can look like your sister tonight
For $37,000 I think it'll work out right
I think it'll work out, uh-huh
I think it'll work out
Ah, you never know how you'll ride it
Think it'll work out
So spin with the archer, now, and
Laugh in his face as he cocks his bow
Steal from his mistress
As she's makin' love to your family
And be aware
That there's not many there
Who want to take time to sing and play an honest song for the people no more
Come on, take time to sing and play an honest song for the people tonight
Don't you wanna take time to sing and play an honest song for the people tonight
Ladies and gentlemen, a warm, space age welcome if you will for the most phenomenal group of the century, Ricky and the Balloons
Glamour boy
You've really had your fill
And it's all downhill
Glamour boy
You've got tales to tell
When you see your old friends
For $49,000 you can look like a woman tonight
For $49,000 I think it'll work out right
I think it'll work out, uh-huh
I think it'll work out
Oh, you never know how you'll ride it
Think it'll work out
So spin with the archer, now, and
Laugh in his face as he cocks his bow
Steal from his mistress
As she's makin' love to your family
And be aware
That there's not many there
Who want to take time to sing and play an honest song for the people no more
Don't you wanna take time to sing and play an honest song for the people no more
Don't you wanna try and take time to sing and play an honest song for the people tonight
You can't fool 'em
Take time to sing and play an honest song for the people tonight
They're getting smarter
Take time to sing an honest song for the people tonight
Don't you wanna try and take time to sing and play an honest song for the people tonight
Come on and take time to sing and play an honest song for the people tonight

Lie Down Lyrics

2 ContributorsLie Down LyricsHave a disease-free summer in Asia
Have a good old roughy tumble in Japan
Have a disease-free winter in Dauphin
And lie down
Lie down
Why is it not good enough for you
It is genuine
Born in years of later forties
Never pampered, or advised it was wise
To be chasin' after something bright and tawny
If you totaled up the score and found
That my side of the board was winning
Then my ex-friend you might be a loser
I'm too damn surly to be forgiven
Too damned unstable to be left all alone
Too damn lucky to be livin' the life I am
And livin' the life I'm lookin'at
Why is it not good enough for you
It is genuine

Cardboard Empire Lyrics

2 ContributorsCardboard Empire LyricsCardboard empire would you crumble to the ground
As we watched by
Shipping magnate are you stranded on the ground
With no dog to fly...
Round the table sat the kings of circumstance
The puppeteer would pull his strings
And we would sing and dance
As the cardboard empire fell
Stone Age Neros sat behind their desks of steel
Trading paper clips
Of our empire there was nothing left untouched
But potato chips
We sat down at the banquet and the jester danced a reel
The gladiator drew his sword, we knew we were the meal
As the cardboard empire fell
Who are the people, who are the people
Who are the people that you think you are?
