13 Jul 10 - 01:20 PM (#2944422) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: When The End Came From: Jim Dixon There are several songs called WHEN THE END COMES. Do you think that could be the real title? I'd be glad to help you search, but I need more information. Can you quote any lines from the song? Can you tell what it was about? Male or female singer, or group? What style: rock, bluegrass, blues, Irish, or ...? |

13 Jul 10 - 08:58 PM (#2944631) Subject: Lyr Add: WHEN THE END CAME (Bob Blue) From: Joe_F Perhaps it's this one (from the liner of _Erika Levine and Friends_): WHEN THE END CAME Bob Blue (1982) When the end came, Mike Shapiro sat frustrated in his living room. He was beginning to feel sorry he had purchased that Atari. As his son sat bombing spaceships, Michael thought, at least he isn't watching trash, But Mike was missing M*A*S*H. When the end came, the doctor told Eliza Grady that she wouldn't live. And she left the office crying. She had never thought of dying. She had spent her life relying on the years ahead to find the time to give What she had to give. When the end came, Laura Perkinson was standing on the pitcher's mound. And the score was three to two, and there was nothing she could do But walk Steve Miller, so she threw the ball outside four times so low that it touched the ground. Then she heard a sound. When the end came, Martha Brown was having doubts upon her wedding day. But she stood before the altar with a man whose name was Walter, And she promised to be true to him and honor him until the day death parted. That's when it started. When the bomb alert went off at Woodrow Wilson Junior High, Jimmy Bordewich thought God was on his side. His report on ancient Greece was due, and Jimmy hoped he'd die, 'Cause he wouldn't have to do it if he died. When the end came, the world was much too busy living life to notice death. Somehow the bombs did not seem violent. They were clean, and they were silent, Like the flashes on the screen of the Atari game that bothered Mike Shapiro, and the score was zero To zero. |
