FIVE MAN ELECTRICAL BAND lyrics - "Signs"


www.OldieLyrics.com


And the sign said "Long-haired freaky people need not apply"
So I tucked my hair up under my hat and I went in to ask him why
He said "You look like a fine upstanding young man, I think you'll do"
So I took off my hat, I said "Imagine that. Huh! Me workin' for you!"
Whoa-oh-oh

Sign, sign, everywhere a sign
Blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign?

And the sign said anybody caught trespassin' would be shot on sight
So I jumped on the fence and-a yelled at the house, "Hey! What gives you
the
right?"
"To put up a fence to keep me out or to keep mother nature in"
"If God was here he'd tell you to your face, Man, you're some kinda sinner"

Sign, sign, everywhere a sign
Blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign?

Now, hey you, mister, can't you read?
You've got to have a shirt and tie to get a seat
You can't even watch, no you can't eat
You ain't supposed to be here
The sign said you got to have a membership card to get inside
Ugh!

(Lead Guitar)

And the sign said, "Everybody welcome. Come in, kneel down and pray"
But when they passed around the plate at the end of it all, I didn't have a
penny to pay
So I got me a pen and a paper and I made up my own little sign
I said, "Thank you, Lord, for thinkin' 'bout me. I'm alive and doin' fine."
Wooo!

Sign, sign, everywhere a sign
Blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign?

Sign, sign, everywhere a sign
Sign
Sign, sign

1. A truly great song that I love every time I hear it...eom

[DancingBear]

And it has a great "ugh"' sound in it during the break

Not as good as the fabulous groan at the end of The Chambers Brothers "Time Has Come Today", but not bad. :)

[Bluebear]

11. Oh, yeah!

9. Based On Your Posts On This Topic Today I Wouldn't Expect You To Get It.

This post is clearly current events driven.

Please do me a favor and put me on ignore. I could live without my posts upsetting your delicate system. The results are a waste of bandwidth...

Did you ever bother to read up like I suggested:

12. Lyrics are poetry that speak to certain situations.

There is a wealth of great protest music from the 60's and early 70's before people thought music was just something to dance to.

6. and by the lights of the campires the protesters will be Shadow Dancing

You got me looking at that heaven in your eyes
I was chasing your direction
I was telling you no lies
And I was loving you
When the words you said
Baby, I lose my head
And in a world of people
There's only you and I
There ain't nothing come between us in the end
Can I hold you when you ain't even mine
Only you can see me through
I leave it up to you

Do it light, taking me through the night
Shadow dancing
Baby you do it right
Give me more, drag me across the floor
Shadow dancing
All this and nothing more

All that I need is just one moment in your arms
I was chasing your affection
I was doing you no harm
And I was loving you
Make it shine, make it rain
Baby I know my way
I need that sweet sensation
Of living in your love
I can't breath when you're away
It pulls me down
You are the question and the answer am I
Only you can see me through
I leave it up to you

Do it light, taking me through the night
Shadow dancing,
baby you do it right
Give me more, drag me across the floor
Shadow dancing

All this and nothing more
And in this world of people there's only you and I
There ain't nothing come between us in the end
How can I hold you when you ain't even mine
Only you can see me through
I leave it up to you

Do it light, taking me through the night
Shadow dancing
Baby you do it right
Give me more, drag me across the floor
Shadow dancing
All this and nothing more
