spirit (05/01/83)
Except for the round, these lyrics are pretty complete as sung on the record. Poor old Johnny Ray sounded sad upon the radio, moved a million hearts in mono. Our mothers cried, sang along, who'd blame them. You, grown, you're grown up, so, grown, so grown up, now I must say more than ever Toora Loora Loo-Rye-Aye and we can sing just like out fathers. Come on Eileen, oh I swear (well he means) at this moment you mean everything. With you in that dress my thoughts I confess verge on dirty ah come on Eileen. These people round here wear beaten down eyes sunk in smoke dried faces, they're resigned to what their fate is. But not us, no never, no not us, no never, we are far too young and clever. Remember Toora Loora Toora Loo-Rye-Aye Eileen I'll hum this tune forever. Come on Eileen, oh I swear, well he means, ah come on let's take off everything. That pretty red dress Eileen (tell him yes) ah come on let's, ah come on Eileen. That pretty red dress Eileen (tell him yes) ah come on let's, ah come on Eileen, please. The round which is pretty much a reworking and intertwining of several of the above ideas follows. No I didn't get all this by just listening, the lyrics (more or less) are on the liner sleeve to the album. However, the above are as sung on the recording. Sam Hughes ...duke!ucf-cs!fau!spirit
