Pleasant dreams

WE WANT THE AIRWAVES (Joey Ramone) (3:22)

9 to 5 and 5 to 9
Ain't gonna take it
It's our time
We want the world
And we want it know
We're gonna take it anyhow

We want the airwaves
We want the airwaves
We want the airwaves, baby
If rock is gonna stay alive

Oh yeah - well all right
Let's rock - tonite
All night

Where's your guts
And your will to survive
And don't you wanna
Keep rock n' roll music alive
Mr. Programmer, I got my hammer
And I'm gonna smash my
Smash my radio

ALL'S QUIET ON THE EASTERN FRONT (Dee Dee Ramone) (2:14)

Watch the watch the way I walk
Can't you think my movements talk

See me silently quietly creep
I am too amped up to sleep
Lamp rays shining down
Street lamps make the bussing sound
Subway creaking down below
Garbage piled up and ready to go

Lock the windows the gates on
Taxi in the distance coming along
Stalking the streets till the break of day
New York beauty take my breath away
Near some cats but dogs don't bark
Cool cats strolling after dark

Shakey lock and kicky door
Smokey air that I adore
Down in the alley is where I hunt
All is quiet on the eastern front
Stalking the streets till the break of day
New York beauty take my breath away

Can't you think my movements talk

THE KKK TOOK MY BABY AWAY (Joey Ramone) (2:32)

She went away for the holidays
Said she's going to L.A.
But she never got there
She never got there
She never got there, they say

The KKK took my baby away
They took her away
Away from me

Hey! Ho!

Now I don't know
Where my baby can be
They took her from me
They took her from me

Ring me, ring me, ring me
Up the President
And find out
Where my baby went
Ring me, ring me, ring me
Up the FBI
And find out if
My baby's alive
Yeah, yeah, yeah

O-o-o-o-o-o

They took my girl
They took my baby away

DON'T GO (Joey Ramone) (2:48)

She was everything to me - oh yeah
She was everything to me
But how I ever let her go
I'll never know

She was everything to me - oh yeah
She was everything to me
Still how I ever let her go
I'll never know

Don't go, don't go, baby don't go
Don't go, don't go, baby don't go
Don't go, don't go
Don't leave me this way
Hey, hey, baby
Don't go, don't go, baby don't go
Don't go, don't go, baby don't go
Don't go, don't go
Don't leave me this way
Hey, hey

She was everything to me
The sun, the earth, the moon my baby
Still how I ever ever let her go
I'll never know

But she wouldn't do what I wanted her to do
She wouldn't do it for me
A-no-no

Don't go o-o-o-o-o

YOU SOUND LIKE YOU'RE SICK (Dee Dee Ramone) (2:43)

Well I can't understand
Anything about you
Help you if I can
What can I do

Here's your new home
That's where you must be
In the institution
'Cause you're so lazy

But if you must act up
Again & again
'Cause everybody knows
You're a hopeless problem

You sound like you're sick
You look like your sick too
You sound like you're sick

You sound like you're sick

IT'S NOT MY PLACE (IN THE 9 TO 5 WORLD) (Joey Ramone) (3:24)

My mom and dad are always fighting
And it's getting very un-exciting
To get a good job
You need the proper schooling
Now who the hell
Do ya think you're fooling

But it's not my place, oh no
No it's not my place, no no
No it's not my, not my, not my place
In the 9 to 5 world
And it's not my place
In the 9 to 5 world

And it's not my place
With 9 to 5 girl
It's not my place
In the 9 to 5 world

Hangin' out with Lester Bangs you all
And Phil Spector really has it all
Uncle Floyd shows on the T.V.
Jack Nicholson, Clint Eastwood, 10cc

Don't wanna be a working stiff
Lose my identity
'Cause when it comes
To working 9 to 5
There ain't not place for me
Ain't my reality, to me

Vin Scelsa's on the radio
Ramones are hangin' out in Kokomo
Roger Corman's on a talk show
With Allan Arkush and Stephen King
You know

SHE'S A SENSATION (Joey Ramone) (3:29)

She's a sensation
She's a sensation
She looks a so sweet

She's a sensation
She's a sensation
Good enough a to eat

She's a sensation
Oh-oh-oh
She looks a so fine

She's a sensation
She's a sensation
I'm gonna make a her mine

No matter what you do
I give my heart to you
And oh-oh-baby
I will give to you

No matter what they say
Yeah, we can find a way
And oh-oh baby
We can find a way

I didn't know it
Till I walked you home
That I feel the way I do
And I don't care
What the neighbors say
I always will be true
I always will love you
Love you
A-wo-wo-wo-wo

7-11 (Joey Ramone) (3:38)

I met her at the 7-11, yeah
Now I'm in 7th heaven
Tell me, tell me
Can this be true
I never though I'd ever
Meet a girl like you

She was standing by the Space Invaders
So I said can I see you later
Yeah we went for a little spin
Down to the Holiday Inn

We was young and in love
We was young and in love
And you're the only girl
I'm ever thinking of

We went down to the record swap
The kids were dancing
To the blitzkrieg bop
Bop-shoo-wop shoo-wop shoo-wop
Bop-shoo-wop shoo-wop shoo-wop

What ever happend to the radio
And where did all the fun songs go
Summer fun, with the Beach Boys on
But we all know what went wrong
Oh-wo-wo

We was young and in love
We was young and in love
And you're the only girl
I'm ever dreaming of

And so we went down to the dance
Which turned into a whole romance
And after just one night
I never thought that things could be so right
Oh-no-no-no-no-no-no-no

I kissed and hugged her
And I said goodbye
Last thing I knew
She wouldn't make it alive
On-coming car went out of control
It crushed my baby
And it crushed my soul

Now all I've got is sorrow and pain
Standing out here in the rain
The crash, shattering glass
The sirens, and pain
Is driving me insane, oh yeah

YOU DIDN'T MEAN ANYTHING TO ME (Dee Dee Ramone) (3:00)

You didn't mean anything to me

Skies were cloudy everyday
Nothing wanted to grow
We had our last chance
I think I told you so
Every dinner was crummy
Nothing was on T.V.
I was ready to pack it up
Our heads were so achey

We got to get away
Another lawn to mow
We had our last chance
I think I told you so
Every dinner was crummy
Even the ones for free
I was ready to pack it up
Forget the agony

Everybody was cranky
Even the maids were mean
We came across a miracle
There was beer in the soda machine
Every dinner was crummy
Even the ones for free
I was ready to pack it up
Forget the agony

COME ON NOW (Dee Dee Ramone) (2:33)

A yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah

Come on now
Come on now
We got no wheels to race

Come on now
Come on now
Police are every place

Come on now
Come on now
We got no skirts to chase

I'm just a junk food guy
Now I am telling you why
I am living at the matinee, yeah
I just want to sleep and play, yeah

Come on now
Come on now
When the folks are not around

Come on now
Come on now
Nagging 'bout the sound

Come on now
Come on now
To turn that racket down

I'm just a comic book boy
There's nothing scary to enjoy
Freak admission stroll inside
I was born on a roller coaster ride

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Come on now

THIS BUSINESS IS KILLING ME (Joey Ramone) (2:41)

I'm sick to death
I'm a nervous wreck
This business is killing me
You know
This business is killing me
You know
It's really killing me
Yeah

Oh-no oh-no oh-no
Oh-no oh-no oh-no
Oh-no oh-no oh-no
On-no ho oh

This business is killing me
And so they say

Run around, run around
Love giving you
The run around
It really makes you crazy
Run around, run around
Love giving you
The run around

You work, you work
You write all night
Until the early morning light

Can't please all the people
All the time
All the people
All the time
But then they don't
Please me

Well I can't take it no more
No, I can't take it no more

Well I can't take it no more
No, I can't take it

SITTING IN MY ROOM (Dee Dee Ramone) (2:30)

Sitting in my room
Record player on
Sitting in my room
Humming a sickening tune
Sitting in my room
Something to do soon

We know what we think of them
The problems just keep piling in
They got complains about everything

It's us against them

They just wanna worry
That's not what any kid
Should have to do
They just wanna be so lame
Maybe they should
Try and sniff some glue

Sitting in my room
