Seven lyrics

Seen a lot of walls, seen a lot of halls
Got a lot of calls, late at night
Seen a lot of doors, seen a lot of floors
Done a lot of chores, late at night

So don't come in here walkin'
So innocent and talkin'
Tryin' to make conversation
Cause I know and you know
That I know what you're here for

Don't tell me 'bout your father
Your sister or your mother
Your great big brother

I seen you walkin' every day on your way, school
I seen you talkin' to the children
I seen you talkin' to, ooh yeah
School teacher, yeah

In the boiler beneath the building
And I'm so lonely, I'm lonely, yeah
Go to your parties, goin' to your meeting
You look so busy, are you busy? Yeah

Na na na na na, school teacher
The day goes on so fast, fast, fast
School teacher, yeah

I used to be a very carefree man,

A loving man of the world.

Yeah, I would still be except for the time

When I met ya, little girl.

Say, I’ve tried and I’ve tried but I just can’t.

You sure got a hold on me.

Ah, your good, good lovin’ is makin’ me faint,

Mama, please don’t set me free.

Politician 'bout to make his speech
Signal for attention, please
Then he shuffled his notes
And wiped his sweating brow
I looked at my friend next to me
And we don't dare agree
Before this is over
We'll wish we woulda left right now

'Cause it sounds like a long song comin'
And it looks like he might throw in a little dancin', too
Yes, it sounds like a long song comin'

You can change the way you live

You can make it ?

You can turn it up or down

You can change the things you're told

You can crucify the word on a cross of gold

You can crucify the word on a cross of gold

Oh oh oh

You can lie to every face

You can use a stranglehold

You can lose or win the chase

You can sell your very soul

You can crucify the word on a cross of gold

Babe you know I love ya
Yes you know I love ya
I never wanna see ya go
So please don't stop me
No don't stop me
When I try to let it show

All your love, all your love
Baby, I want all your love
All your love, all your love
Baby, I want all your love

Don't keep me guessin'
Don't go 'round and messin'
I could never stand the feel
Don't say maybe
Don't drive me crazy

Jan is tired of her inhaler
When she moved here from back east
Still she said she'd stay beside me
And she brought me a new peace

I saw her smilin' in the summer sun
I saw her 'neath the quiet moon
I knew right then I'd never leave her
She had taken me so soon
When she went
She went

And we settled near the blue lagoon
Listened all night to the wind

I wanna be a lawyer
Doctor or professor
A member of the UMC

I want an air conditioner
Cottage on the river
And all the money I can see

I wanna drive a Lincoln
Spend my evenings drinking
The very best burgandy

I want a yacht for sailing
Private eye for tailing
My wife if She's a bit too free

I've been told ever since a boy
that's what one aught to be
A part of the UMC

Just take those old records off the shelf
I'll sit and listen to 'em by myself
Today's music ain't got the same soul
I like that old time rock n' roll

Don't try to take me to a disco
You'll never even get me out on the floor
In ten minutes I'll be late for the door
I like that old time rock n' roll

Still like that old time rock n' roll
That kind of music just soothes the soul
