Observatory - Lyrics - Aimee Mann

Title: Observatory
Artist: Aimee Mann
Composer(s): Aimee Mann, Glenn Martin Tilbrook

Lyric:
She was married to somebody else
I was lonely and lived by myself
Baby, that's a battle you can't win
So we met and we started the clock
Did that help, no, it did not
But I guess I knew that goin' in
And watched the sweeping second hand

But at least I was calm
On the road to the big observatory
Where the planets were hung
And the stars swung around the second story

And we stumbled upon
A room where luminous moon was waning
And I knew I had leapt into the great beyond
But at least I was calm

Fun is fun but when push comes to shove
When it's done, we'll deny it was love
She will say, Jim, this was a mistake
And the room where we looked at the sky
Will be there with its telescope eye
Just another sentry kept awake
Watching over silver lake

But at least I was calm
On the road to the big observatory
Where the planets were hung
And the stars swung around the second story

And we stumbled upon
A room where luminous moon was waning
And I knew I had leapt into the great beyond
But at least I was calm

And you'll be glad to leave with dignity intact
She won't be sad so much as matter of fact
Like it was doomed and hopeless as a suicide pact

Well, at least I was calm
On the road to the big observatory
Where the planets were hung
And the stars swung around the second story

And we stumbled upon
A room where luminous moon was waning
And I knew I had leapt into the great beyond
But at least I was calm

Yeah, at least I managed to stay calm

Hangin' Around The Observatory - Lyrics - John Hiatt

Title: Hangin' Around The Observatory
Artist: John Hiatt
Composer(s): J Hiatt

{AdsenseCode:2D080010-7055-443A-8D12-2B79DDC71256}

Lyric:
Hangin' around the observatory
We were waitin' to see the moon
Well we thought that we was all gypsies
Come to escape these lousy ruins

Well that telescope that mighty eye
It's bigger, Jack, that you or I?
Oh, it sees the stars, it sees the moon
You might as well stay in the room

Professor, professor, I forgot how it looks
Could I just take another peak?
Is there really a man who lives up there?
Is it all green cheese so to speak?

Well now listen boy these are the facts
The moon is white the sky is black
And you are a speck on this crummy earth
And a dollar and a half is all you're worth

Why did I come here?

Let all the tender scientist
Get lost in poetry
And let all these moist romantic guys
Turn back to history

Hangin' around the observatory
Waitin' to see the moon
Well we thought that we was gypsies
Come to escape these lousy ruins

The Walls And The Windows - Lyrics - Aceyalone

Title: The Walls And The Windows
Artist: Aceyalone
Composer(s): Edwin M Jr Hayes

Lyric:
The walls have ears, the windows have eyes
And a wise man tells no lies
The walls have ears, the windows have eyes
And a dead man tells no lies

The walls have ears, the windows have eyes
And a wise man tells no lies
The walls have ears, the windows have eyes
And a dead man tells no lies

No lies, no lies, no lies
And a dead man tells no lies

If these walls could talk
They would tell you things you wouldn't believe
These windows have seen sights you couldn't imagine
And it can't be erased by Windex or a coat of paint

The walls have ears, the windows have eyes
And a wise man tells no lies
The walls have ears, the windows have eyes
And a dead man tells no lies

Surprise
For each and every wall that ever stood it has a story
Some are not so obvious and some are self-explanatory
It's padded wall in my laboratory
They're lookin' through the keyhole of you dormitory
Meanwhile, up in my observatory, my telescope sees the glory
And it also sees the horror and the gory they speak derogatory

These walls in this hotel room
Tell more tales about fat tales and head
It was heard but never said, instead the walls bleed
Yeah, while they bleeding
You could hear the couples cheating, undercover meetings
Behind these seedy motel walls, best believe they had it all
Wreaking balls don't bounce against the wall
To make that building fall

The walls outside my apartment complex
Building projects are so complex
Yet they are taken all out of text
Like the wall of Berlin, the wall of 'Nam, the wall of China
And my tag on the wall as a reminder

The walls have ears, the windows have eyes
And a wise man tells no lies
The walls have ears, the windows have eyes
And a dead man tells no lies

Now of course the eyes are the true windows to the soul
As well as the window to the world's soul
Whether plain glass or stained glass
Every set of eyes has a set of windows with a set of eyes

Now tell me what the world would be
If we did not have windows
(We did not have windows)
You would hardly ever catch the criminal or see the swindle
Everyone inside would need A/C when they assemble
A private penitentiary at home is what it might resemble
See my window-pane got so much pain
The glass is busting out the frame

So let the candle kindle in the window as a symbol
I be leavin' my window open, hoping that I might get a breeze
But when the wind comes in the eyes
Come in and eyes don't seem to want to leave
Because spying eyes by eying the prize
And eying on your movement
You can change your wall and windows
With some building home improvement

But looky loose they still be trying
You look inside your window
The walls will hear it ever single time you voice crescendos
It's enough to make you tremble, leave you in limbo
Can it also be simple? Because these are fundamentals
For the mental, so don't get sentimental
Because these are not your windows, these wall are really rentals

They know everything you're into
And all the business that you tend to
So keep your windows rolled up
And don't hold up the wall against the floor
And while you're window shopping
Don't bother stopping at my store
I put a note in the window, but you couldn't read what is said
So I took a rock and carved it in the glass and it read

The walls have ears, the windows have eyes
And a wise man tells no lies
The walls have ears, the windows have eyes
And a dead man tells no lies

The walls have ears, the windows have eyes
And a wise man tells no lies
The walls have ears, the windows have eyes
And a dead man tells no lies
