The Bombing of London

Bombs started knocking some heads downtown
Whole population fled underground
Heard the thunder -- drove me deep into my bed
Closed my ears to what the people said

Roaring sirens just outside
Give me time -- ready by nine
I'll join the people in the caverns deep
Say my prayers and go back to sleep

Flames are getting higher
Bombs still falling
Do I hear you screaming
Cool it down -- don't touch the wall
It's coming down...

Tokyo Rose, babe, is just a name
Far away -- across the sea
Somewhere where there is no planes
Submarines or battleships

Swear I'm gonna see it through
In years to come I'll settle down
But I won't forget...

Everybody Had It With You

Everywhere I run
I always hear about the things you've done
And it seems like you've been doing it with everyone
And it seems so strange when I hear them say
And I feel that I've been used
I wonder if it's true
I wonder why you had to do the things they say that you do

Sleeping alone at night
It's not fun it's not cool it's not right
Especially when I feel that I should keep you in sight

And it makes me shake and it makes this poor heart break
When you go out and hang around and then you say
You don't know why I'm blue when everybody had it with you
Every day I feel I'm even more of a fool

'Cause now I know the things they say to me are true
Everybody had it with you
Everybody wants to do it to you
Everybody knows the things that you do

So I talk to the walls and I laugh
But I just can't sleep at night, you know you're driving me mad
Oh darlin' I'm so sad
And I never thought you'd hurt so bad
But I guess I gotta try and understand what you do
'Cause if I try, I know that I can have it with you

THANK YOU!!! Simply the best of the L.A. bands and still delivering like it was 1977! THESE are the guys who should have made it. That they didn't could still be mystifying if it weren't for the fact that the music industry almost never edges anywhere near excellence. Thanks Joe,etc. for making music that still resonates!
