Track Lyrics
Boys in the Band Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You walk in like you've never seen the light
You walk in like it every night
But I've never seen you dance and I've never heard you sing
So how could it mean a single thing?
[Refrain]
It's all so rudimentary
[Verse 2]
You're talking like you're handy in a fight
You're talking like it every night
But I've never seen those flowers in the barrel of your gun
All I've ever seen you do is run
[Refrain]
It's all so rudimentary
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, tell me, baby, oh, how does it feel?
I know you like the roll of the limousine wheel, yeah
[Chorus]
And they all get them out for (They all get them out)
For the boys in the band (Only for the boys in the band)
They twist and they shout for (They twist and they scream and shout)
For the boys in the band (Only for the boys in the band)
[Verse 3]
You walk in like you've never seen the light
You walk in like it every night
But then I stop to think and I ask myself why
It's one of those things that, darling, you must try
[Refrain]
It's all so rudimentary
[Pre-Chorus]
And now I'm jealous, oh, I'm jealous of my own
I have no homestead but through these hearts I will roam, yeah
[Chorus]
They all get them out for (They all get them out)
For the boys in the band (Only for the boys in the band)
They scream and they shout for (They twist and they scream and shout)
For the boys in the band (Only for the boys in the band)
[Instrumental Break]
[Pre-Chorus]
But tell me, baby, oh, how does it feel?
I know you like the roll of the limousine wheel
[Chorus]
And they all get them out for (They all get them out)
For the boys in the band (Only for the boys in the band)
They scream and they shout for (They twist and they scream and shout)
For the boys in the band (Only for the boys in the band)
Yes, they all want them out for (They all want them out)
For the boys in the band (Only for the boys in the band)
They scream and they shout for (They twist and they scream and shout)
For the boys in the band (Only for the boys in the band)
[Outro]
Oh
Radio America Lyrics
[Verse 1]
If I get the call
I will call across Radio America
Right across America, I will call
Yes, I will call all across Radio America
Right across America, I will call
[Chorus]
If call I must do
To take my love, my love to you
[Verse 2]
There's a lovely young girl on aboard
Walks down here
And all across Africa, China, and Australia
I will call
Call you down in New Mexico
In New Brighton and Tokyo
I will call
[Chorus]
If call we must do
To take my love, my love to you
[Verse 3]
For well it may hap' that these, are they
Your happiest days
Oh my, good old friend
I see you chanced your arm again
You cut you arm again
[Verse 4]
Red faced president
Took afternoon tea with her majesty, the Queen
And they watched old films flicker
Across the old palace movie screen
Crying, "What a shame" as she slipped in the rain
The poor dancing girl, well she won't dance again
And they tell me this was a transmission
To take my love, my love to you
And only to you
Yes, this was a transmission
To take my love, my love to you
Begging Lyrics
[Verse 1]
All animals we are
'Round the bench, in the park
Your sister's in the dark today
Watery pinned eyes
My soul has gone a little cold
[Verse 2]
Well, maybe, maybe next year
If it isn't too dear
We'll get ourselves some good time girls
Remember when you pay
You'll pay in many, many ways
[Pre-Chorus]
And he's crossing the road
To get his daily sport
[Chorus]
Oh, now they're begging you
They're begging you
What will you do?
Oh, Lord, they're begging you
Your friend begging you
What will you do?
[Verse 3]
And have you heard the singer said
He's a dead ringer for
A feeling that I used to know
Lord, she cries, oh, Hell
No, no, it's a funny way to go
[Pre-Chorus]
And he's crossing the road
Off picking up his daily sport
[Chorus]
Oh, now they're begging you
They're begging you
What will you do?
Oh, Lord, they're begging you
Your friend's begging you
What will you do?
