Cliches

1975
Shes got a ballpark figure
Hes got a ballpoint pen
They travel around for weeks at a time
Writin down descriptions of the places they been
She plays guitar but nothin fancy
With no intention of becomin a star
Only thing thats botherin him these days
Is where hes gonna find a good ten-cent cigar
Cliches
Good ways
To say what you mean
Mean what you say
She never did make her debut
He never made it to class
Shes eighty-sixed from the chart room
Hes twenty nine and pushin thirty real fast
Theyre funny when they get to rockin
Goin out for a night on the town
Takin polaroid pictures that are never in focus
Just to look at when they finally slow down
Full moon
So soon
Wishin every month of the year could be june
Hes always tuned into star trek
Shes always tuned into him
Hidin his cookies when he gets the munchies
Tryin hard just to keep the boy slim
Tonight theyre gonna go star gazin
An try to figure out which one theyre near
But try as they might I dont think theyll reach the height
You know you cant get there from here
Full moon
So soon
Wishin every month of the year could be june
Cliches
Good ways
To say what you mean
Mean what you say
To say what you mean
Mean what you say

They Dont Make em Like They Used To
Its every young boys fancy
Its there hidden deep in the heart of a man
Its just a feeling
They wont ever understand
They know they gotta have one
A brand new model and its here today
And dont you know that shes made right here in the u.s.a.
(chorus)
Dont ever stop trying
Dont let her get away
They dont make em like they used to
I think theyre better than before
Its more than physical attraction
Keeps you coming back for more
Shes a home grown beauty
Shes born and raised with a mind of her own
And once you find her
Youll never want to leave her alone
Shes making you crazy
You cant live without her, shes here to stay
Dont you know that she lives right here in the u.s.a.
Chorus
They dont make em like they used to
Theyre so much better than before
Im so tired of hearing--(Im so tired)
Some people say--(what people say)
Everything is moving much too fast
Things were better in the good old days
Let them have their opinions--(let them have...)
Never gonna change their mind--(theyll never change)
They lived a long time ago
When times were tough
And a real good woman was hard to find
They dont make em like they used to
I think theyre better than before
Its more than physical attraction
That keeps you coming back for more
Chorus
They dont make em like they used to
Theyre so much better than before

Brand New Country Star
Brand new country star
By: jimmy buffett
1974
Well he outgrew his sequined suit
Sold his trailways bus
Let his hair get a little too long
His ducktails bit the dust
His custom made, pearl-inlaid
Guitar slipped from his hand
And in its place a new electrical one
He had flown in from japan
Chorus:
cause hes a cheeseburger-eatin, abandoned sunday-meetin
Brand new country star
He rides around in a lincoln continental
No steerhorns on his car
Oh the record men say, hes the livin end
Theyre gonna spin him right to the top
Yeah hes a hot roman candle from the texas panhandle
He can either go country or pop
Hes got a good ol friend name o texas ben
Tells him all the spots to play
And a sweet little lady, he calls her sexy sadie
Shes a with the boy night and day
Theyre gonna open a chain of fancy bowlin lanes
The first one in his old home town
And on ribbon-cuttin day theyll come from miles away
The folksll all gather round
Chorus:
And sing, hes a cheeseburger-eatin, abandoned sunday meetin
Brand new country star
Yeah he rides around in his lincoln continental
No steerhorns on his car
Oh the record men say, hes the livin end
Theyre gonna spin him right to the top
Yeah hes a hot roman candle from the texas panhandle
He can either go country or pop
I mean, he can either go country or pop

Here Comes My Girl
You know , sometimes, I dont know why,
But this old town just seems so hopeless
I aint really sure, but it seems I remember the good times
Were just a little bit more in focus
But when she puts her arms around me,
I can, somehow, rise ab ove it
Yeah man, when I got that little girl standing right by my side,
You know, I can tell the whole wide world, shove it,
Hey, here comes my girl, here comes my girl,
Yeah, she looks so right, shes all I need tonight
Every now and then, I get down to the end of a day,
Ill have to stop, ask myself, whatve I done?
It just seems so useless to have to work so hard,
And nothin ever really seem to come from it
And then she looks m e in the eye, says, we gonna last forever,
And man, you know I cant begin to doubt it
No, because this feels so good and so free and so right,
I know we aint never goin change our minds about it
Hey, here comes my girl, here comes my girl,
Yeah, she looks so right, shes all I need tonight
Yeah, every time it seems like there aint nothin left no more,
I find myself havin to reach out and grab hold of somethin
Yeah, I just catch myself wonderin, waitin, worryin
About some silly little things that dont add up to nothin.
And then she looks me in the eye, says, we gonna last forever,
And man, you know I cant begin to doubt it
No, because this feels so good and so free and so right,
I know we aint never goin change our minds about it.
Hey, here comes my girl, here comes my girl,
Yeah, she looks so right, shes all I need tonight

Maybe
Maybe far away or maybe real nearby
He maybe pouring her coffee
She maybe straightenin his tie
Maybe in a house or hidden by a hill
Shes sittin playin piano
Hes sittin payin the bills
Betcha theyre young
Betcha theyre smart
Bet theyre collecting like ashtrays and art
Betcha theyre good why shouldnt they be
Their one mistake was givin up me
So maybe now its time
And maybe when Im wake
Theyll be there calling me baby, maybe
Betcha he reads
Betcha she sews
Maybe shes made me a closet of clothes
Maybe theyre straight as straight as a line
Dont really care as long as theyre mine
So maybe now this prayer
The last one of its kind
Wont you please and get your baby
Maybe...

Throw me down and love me in the hotel lobby

Hey, with a sleight of hand and then a word of mouth
Shes a cat been caged too long and now shes breakin out
Well, get it straight, you better cross your heart

Well youre playin with the fire, a pool of sweats lyin on the floor
Shell bring you to your knees, and when youre laid to rest
Shes gonna give you something, shes gonna get it off her chest

They Don't Make Them Like They Used To
They dont make em like they used to, those guys
And I cant get used to the way that it is today
No one to look up to, hard times, and though I try
I just cant find the reason these days
And it seems like the seasons are passing me
Theyre going by, nothing to hold on to, rough times.
And it goes on, so count on me, and Ill count on you
You can lean on me, two of us stronger
We wont be alone any longer
Now and for always we will be good friends
Count on me, into any storm, were gonna survive it
Into any fire, well carry on.
Know that one day you and me will both be old friends
And well sit on the sofa and talk about how
They dont make em like they used to, youll see
As time goes on, so count on me, and Ill count on you
In a world like this, when nothings sure
And people are afraid, Ill be here for
Now and for always we will be good friends
Count on me, they dont make it now like they used to
Theyre not gonna last like you and me, Ill be there.
Oh, always we will be, year by year
Depend on me, into any storm, were gonna survive it
Into any fire, just count on me, Ill be there
Oh, tough guys, you and me, year by year
They will see, they dont make it now like they used to
Theyre not gonna last like you and me...

Map Of The World
Watching the people on the street today she couldnt help but smile
Watchin the town go walking by all shaded eyes and alibis
Strange how much pain you can hide away beneath a well-cut suit
This is the day she walks away
And the lights of the city pushin a good time
Asking her out tonight
But shes saving her money for a better life
Shes got a map of the world
Pinned up on her wall
Shes got a map of the world
Shes gonna go and see it all
Shes gonna see it all
Watchin the people on the street today
Such a lonely sight
swore she could see their dreams go by
All cars and stars and buy buy buy
Runnin on empty runnin to stand still
No time for their own lives
Sleepwalking through the danger signs
And it feels a little scary
A little runaway
Letting go of all shes done
And the lights of the city, well theyre all singin
Buy some of this, cmon
But when you lie to yourself
You lie to everyone
Shes got a map of the world
Pinned up on her wall
Shes got a map of the world
Shes gonna go and see it all
Shes gonna see it all
Shell empty the sand from her shoes
In paradise
Sail out across the bay
Shell dance under an island sky
Until the break of day
Shes got a map of the world
Pinned up on her wall
Its such a beautiful world
Glistening and magical
Shes got a map of the world
Shining away in her mind
Colouring-in her life
This is the day she walks
Shes gonna see it all
Shes gonna breathe it all
Paris london new york
Shes gonna see it all

Shes Famous Now
Ive got the measles and she got the mumps
Im sick of waiting by the door in case she comes home
You wont believe it but dont you want to know
I let her go but I cant let her go
I dont wanna hear it
Im singin too high tonight, Im gonna lose my voice
I heard her on the radio dont want to sing along, but Ive got no choice
She used to be my girl but now shes famous (shes famous now)
She used to be my girl but now she is famous (shes famous now)
She was just so sweet and now theyre fallin at her feet
She used to be my girl but now shes-
I eat the muscle and she eats the leaves
High cholesterol and heart disease yea
Youll never touch the way that I feel
Just for the record she got the deal
I dont wanna hear it
Im saying goodbye tonight, I just cant stand the noise
Shes signin autographs, dont wanna say I know her but Ive got no choice
She used to be my girl but now shes famous (shes famous now)
She used to be my girl but now shes famous (shes famous now)
She was just so sweet and now theyre fallin at her feet
She used to be my girl but now shes-
Well shes like me, just not as ugly
She used to be my girl but now shes famous (shes famous now)
She used to be my girl but now shes-
She was just so sweet

Girl On The Moon
Its night, again
Time for my mind to go wandering
Off on a journey, through space and time
In search of a face I can never find
So I close my eyes and look inside
I cant forget
The night that I saw her we never met
She felt so close to me as I reached for her hand
She drifted away like the desert sand
It was her and she was gone
I wish shed come back tonight
Like a star shining bright
I dont know where shes from
Shes like a girl on the moon
A girl on the moon
Shes like a girl on the moon
A girl on the moon
Yeah its night, once again
And that same old feeling is setting in
It all seems so familiar but I hope this time
That the girl on the moon will soon be mine
All mine, tonight
Am I asking too much
Should I leave my dream untouched
Should I even know where shes from
My, girl on the moon
Shes my girl on the moon
Girl on the moon
My girl on the moon
Girl on the moon
My girl on the moon

She's A Star
By: Barry Manilow, Enoch Anderson
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It really doesnt matter if she suffered all she claims.
You know she started somewhere and she found her way to fame.
And feeding on the lonely crowd, she finally belongs.
A Goddess by the microphone she sings her troubled songs.
Shes a star
No on can tell her anymore
(She did it)
Shell ride as far
As the road can go
And what it costs, she oughta know
She said shed do it
Shes a star
(she did it)
Theyre hangin on her music as it fills the concert hall
And shes teasin them with moments, when you think shell give it all
But shes holdin back the total, cause that s how she works the spell
Yeah, she likes to leave em hungry, yeah she loves to hear em yell!
Shes a star
No on can tell her anymore
(She did it)
Shell ride as far
As the road can go
And what it costs, she oughta know
She said shed do it
Shes a star
(she did it)
And finally, the wild applause that cleans her soul and saves
Shes left with no companions only enemies and slaves.
Shes scared again the show was slow, she felt it fall behind
Tomorrow nights already raising riot in her mind.
Shes a star
No on can tell her anymore
(She did it)
Shell ride as far
As the road can go
And what it costs, she oughta know
She said shed do it
Shes a star
(she did it)

Western Star
Sun she burns mean and big I think Ill go to cafe noir
Big screen turns me on Im gonna be your western star
How hard can it be?
I get my freon bingo inside your cool soft sarong
Rolling on the moquette inside a cul-de-sac kampong
How hard can it be?
How hard can it be when youre a western star?
Shining and free dont you know that a star burns best?
How hard can it be?
I said now how hard can it be?
Shes so sentimental shes got my picture in her head
The tool-man is in her dreams
I was lifted when she said how hard can it be?
And now hes headed skyward standing up on piles of plywood
And all he thinks about is how he looks like heroes-period bowie
And his figure blocks the light
And he takes away the night
And hes dancing to the new bolero
You soy un pistolero Im not shakin in my boots
Im ruler of this moon boy so if you move I shoots
How hard can it be?

Mountain Woman
They lived together in a dirty old shack
At the edge of the black rocky mountain
And they drank mountain dew and they lived on the food
That they grew at the side of the mountain
Shes a mountain woman, hes her mountain man
They [? ] down the valley
Shes a mountain woman, hes her mountain man
Uneducated but theyre happy
Mountain woman couldnt read nor write
But she knew good from evil, she know wrong from right
When the government tried to buy her water rights
Her intuition was her only guide
Shes a mountain woman, hes her mountain man
They [? ] by the valley
Shes a mountain woman, hes her mountain man
Uneducated but theyre happy
Spend my life with my mountain woman
Were uneducated by were happy
The civil servant used compulsory purchase
To acquire the [? ] for the nation
Theyll dig up the land, theyre gonna make a dam
And build a hydroelectric power station
And now she lives on the 33rd floor
Of a man-made concrete mountain
She got an elevator and refrigerator
And an automobile to run around in
Fast talkin lawyers from the government
Went and beat proud mountain woman down
Hey mountain woman, take your mountain man
They took your land and flood your valley
Spend my life with my mountain woman
Theyre uneducated by theyre happy

The Ballad Of John Yoko
Standing on the dock at southampton
Trying to get to holland or france
The man in the mac
Said, youve gotta go back
You know, they didnt even give us a chance
Christ, you know it aint easy
You know how hard it can be
The way things are going
Theyre gonna crucify me
Finally made the plane into paris
Honeymooning down by the seine
Peter brown called to say
You can make it okay
You can get married in gibraltar, near spain
Christ, you know it aint easy
You know how hard it can be
The way things are going
Theyre gonna crucify me
Drove from paris to the amsterdam hilton
Talking in our beds for a week
The newspeople said
Say, whatre you doing in bed?
I said, were only trying to get us some peace
Christ, you know it aint easy
You know how hard it can be
The way things are going
Theyre gonna crucify me
Made a lightning trip to vienna
Eating chocolate cakes in a bag
The newspapers said
Shes gone to his head
They look just like two gurus in drag
Christ, you know it aint easy
You know how hard it can be
The way things are going
Theyre gonna crucify me
Caught the early plane back to london
Fifty acrons tied in a sack
The men from the press
Said, we wish you success
Its good to have the both of you back
Christ, you know it aint easy
You know how hard it can be
The way things are going
Theyre gonna crucify me
The way things are going
Theyre gonna crucify me
The way things are going
Theyre gonna crucify me

One Fine Day
Shes standing by the waterside, shes waiting for her man
On the evening wind, she hears the whistle blow
Its coming from the factory, she hears it every day
Her soft cheeks flush, hes on his way
Theyre going where the sun is shining
Theyre going for that silver lining
Theyre gonna work and make it pay
And she say mmm, well, one fine day
Spread those wings, fly away
Now I dont lie, no, cold wind and rain
Gonna sail away one fine day
Now hope, it springs eternally
At least thats what they say
Boy, it gets hard to feel that way
When he sees his little darling hide
The tear with a smile
He say come here baby, now dont you cry

Reachin out to bend my ear

All the time it took

Oh I just might, yeah

Better rise above it all
Shes knockin at the door
Seems to want some more
Never gets the clue

Shes a bright and shining star
But I just must be sensitive to light
Oh, I just know

Shes ready for the kill
But I think that I will go, no

Heart User
She wears her hair real wild
Her nails are perfectly filed
Her lips painted deep jungle red
Her best colour is black
And the clothes on her back
Show shes a woman with style
She wears satin and lace with impeccable taste
Shell tell you it runs in her blood
In a cloud of perfume she walks into the room
And it comes to a stop when she does
Shes a heart user
No time for losers
Shell use you up and throw your love away
Heart user
A barracuda
Shell use you just dont get in her way
Oozing with charm got a girl on each arm
His eyes match his all over tan
And as he straightens his tie
Some beauty catches his eye
Brings out the best in the man
And her fresh young face makes his cold heart race
Shes wearing that deadly perfume
You must admire the skill as he comes in for the kill
Its time to attack make his move
Hes a heart user
No time for losers
Hell use you up and throw your love away
Heart user
A barracuda
Hell use you just dont get in his way
Where you been all my life
This is love at first sight
Could swear weve met someone before
She throws back her head
And she shamelessly says
You got real good taste tell me more
Then the lady in black thinks shes setting her trap
And he thinks shes playing his game
But anybody can tell theyre just into themselves
Theyre two of a kind theyre the same
Theyre just heart users
No time for losers
Theyll use you up and throw your love away
Heart users
Theyre barracuda
Theyll use you just dont get in their way...

Ordinary People
In a dusty town a clock struck high noon, two men stood face to face.
One wore black and one wore white, but of fear there wasnt a trace.
Two hundred years later two hot rods drag through the very same place,
And a half a million people
Moved in to pick up the pace, a factory full of people.
Makin parts to go to outer space, a train load of people.
They were aimin for another place, out of town people.
Theres a man in the window with a big cigar, says everythings for sale.
The house and the boat and the railroad car, the owners gotta go to jail.
He acquired these things from a life of crime, now hes selling them to raise his bail.
He was rippin off the people.
Sellin guns to the underground, tryin to help the people.
Lose their ass for a piece of ground, rippin off the people.
Skimmin the top when there was no one around, tryin to help the people.
He was dealing antiques in a hardware store but he sure had a lot to hide.
He had a backroom full of the guns of war and a ton of ammunition besides.
Well, he walked with a cane, kept a bolt on the door with five pit bulls inside,
Just a warning to the people
Who might try to break in at night, protection from the people.
Selling safety in the darkest night, tryin to help the people.
Get the drugs to the street all right, ordinary people.
Well, its hard to say where a man goes wrong, might be here and it might be there.
What starts out weak might get too strong, if you cant tell foul from fair.
But its hard to judge from an angry throng of hands stretched into the air,
The vigilante people.
Takin law into their own hands, conscientious people.
Crackin down on the druglords land, government people.
Confiscatin all the dealers land, patch-of-ground people.
Down at the factory, theyre puttin new windows in.
The vandals made a mess of things, and the homeless just walked right in.
Well, they worked here once, and they live here now, but they might work here again,
Theyre ordinary people.
And theyre livin in a nightmare, hard workin people.
And they dont know how they go there, ordinary people.
And they think that you dont care, hard workin people.
Down on the assembly line, they keep puttin the same thing out.
But the people today, they just aint buyin, nobody can figure it out.
Well, they try like hell to build a quality end, theyre workin hard without a doubt,
Theyre ordinary people.
And the dollars what its all about, hard workin people.
But the customers are walkin out, lee iacocca people.
Yeah, they look but they just dont buy, hard workin people.
Two out of work models and a fashion slave try to dance away the michelob night.
The bartender poured himself another drink, while two drunks sat watchin the fight.
The champ went down, then he got up again, and then he went out like a light,
He was fightin for the people.
But his timing wasnt right, for las vegas people
Who came to see a las vegas fight, high rollin people.
Takin limos though the neon night, fightin for the people.
And then a new rolls royce and a company car they went flyin down the street.
Each one tryin to make it to the gate before employees manned the fleet.
The trucks full of products for the modern home, set to roll out into the street
Of downtown people.
Tryin to make their way to work, nose-to-the-stone people.
Some are saints, and some are jerks, hard workin people.
Stoppin for a drink on the way to work, alcoholic people.
Yeah yeah, theyre takin it one day, one day at a time.
Out on the railroad track, theyre cleanin up number nine.
Theyre scrubbin the boiler down, well, she really is lookin fine.
Awe, shes lookin so good, theyre gonna bring her back on line,
Ordinary people.
Theyre gonna bring the good things back, nose-to-the stone people.
Put the business back on track, ordinary people.
I got faith in the regular kind, hard workin people,
Patch-of-ground people.
