10cc - Medley: Rubber Bullets/silly Love Songs/life Is A Hinestrone lyrics

I went to a party at the local county jail All the cons were dancing and the band began to wail But the guys were indiscreet They were brawling in the street At the local dance at the local county jail Well the band were playing And the booze began to flow But the sound came over on the police car radio Down at precinct 49 Having a tear-gas of a time Sergeant baker got a call from the governor of the county jail Load up, load up, load up with rubber bullets Load up, load up, load up with rubber bullets I love to hear those convicts squeal It's a shame these slugs ain't real But we can't have dancin' at the local county jail Sergeant baker and his men made a bee-line for the jail And for miles around You could hear the sirens wail There's a rumor goin' round d**h row That a fuse is gonna blow At the local hop at the local county jail Whatcha gonna do about it, whatcha gonna do Whatcha gonna do about it, whatcha gonna do Sergeant baker started talkin' With a bullhorn in his hand He was cool, he was clear He was always in command He said "blood will flow; Here padre Padre you talk to your boys..." "trust in me - God will come to set you free" Well we don't understand Why you called in the national guard When uncle sam is the one Who belongs in the exercise yard We all got balls and brains But some's got balls and chains At the local dance at the local county jail Load up, load up, load up with rubber bullets Load up, load up, load up with rubber bullets Is it really such a crime For a guy to spend his time At the local dance at the local county jail At the local dance at the local county jail Whatcha gonna do about it, whatcha gonna do Whatcha gonna do about it, whatcha gonna do =================== 10cc - silly love =================== Hey toots, you put the life into living You brought a sigh into sight Ah hon, you make my legs turn to water You bring the stars out at night But they ain't half so bright As your eyes Gee whiz, you take the beauty out of beautiful You play the strings of my heart Oh babe, you take the wonder out of wonderful Oh my, oh my, and my, if you were mine The rain would turn to sweet sweet wine Well he's been up all night Breakin' his head in two to write A little sonnet for his chickadee But between you and me I think its sssssssssssilly. silly Ooh treas, you got a smile like a rembrandt Aha, you got the style of a queen Oh dear, you are the petal of a rosebud Next to you all the others could be weeds You're the only one my garden needs Ooh, you know the art of conversation Must be dying Ooh, when a romance depends on Cliches and toupees and threepes We're up to here with moonin' and junin' If you want to sound sincere - Don't rely on crosby's croonin' - Take a little time Make up your own rhyme Don't rely on mine 'cos it's sssssssssilly - silly - silly - silly ============================= 10cc - life is a minestrone ============================= I'm dancing on the white house lawn Sipping tea by the taj mahal at dawn Hanging round the gardens of babylon Minnie mouse has got it all sewn up She gets more fan mail than the pope She takes the mickey out of all my phobias Like signing cheques to ward off double pneumonia Life is a minestrone Served up with parmesan cheese d**h is a cold lasagne Suspended in deep freeze I'm leaning on the tower of pisa Had an eyeful of the tower in france I'm hanging round the gardens of madison And the seat of learning And the flush of success Relieves a constipated mind I'm like a gourmet in a skid row diner A fitting menu for a dilettante Life is a minestrone Served up with parmesan cheese d**h is a cold lasagne Suspended in deep freeze Love is a fire of flaming brandy Upon a crepe suzette Let's get this romance cooking, honey But let us not forget Life is a minestrone Served up with parmesan cheese d**h is a cold lasagne Suspended in deep freeze
