Old Dog 179138 Report post Posted February 26, 2011 Released on Broadway December 8, 1930 Best Version by Ella Fitzgerald 1945 When the only sound in the empty street is the heavy tread of the heavy feet that belong to a lonesome cop I open shop When the moon so long has been gazing down on the wayward ways of this wayward town her smile becomes a smirk, I go to work Love for sale appetizing young love for sale love thats fresh and still unspoiled love thats only slightly soiled love for sale who will buy who would like to sample my supply who's prepared to pay the price for a trip to paradise love for sale let the poets pipe of love in their childish ways I know every type of love better far than they if you want the thrill of love I've been through the mill of love old love new love every love but true love love for sale appetizing young love for sale if you want to buy my wares follow me and climb the stairs love for sale http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ll1Z-Z9anpU Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Old Dog 179138 Report post Posted February 26, 2011 Panic at the Disco - Build God, Then we'll Talk It's these substandard motels on the (lalalalala) corner of 4th and Fremont Street. Appealing only because they are just that un-appealing Any practiced catholic would cross themselves upon entering. The rooms have a hint of asbestos and maybe just a dash of formaldehyde, And the habit of decomposing right before your very (lalalala) eyes. Along with the people inside What a wonderful caricature of intimacy Inside, what a wonderful caricature of intimacy Tonight tenants range from: a lawyer and a virgin Rising with a rosary tucked inside her lingerie She's getting a job at the firm come Monday. The Mrs. will stay wisay to the the cheating attorney moonlighting aside, she really needs his money. A wonderful caricature of intimacy. Yeah (Yeah) And not to mention, the constable, and his proposition, for that "virgin" Yes, the one the lawyer met with on "strictly business" as he said to the Mrs., only hours before, after he had left, she was fixing her face in a compact. There was a terrible crash (There was a terrible crash) Between her and the badge She spilled her purse and her bag, and held a "purse" of a different kind. Along with the people inside What a wonderful caricature of intimacy Inside, what a wonderful caricature of intimacy There are no raindrops on roses and girls in white dresses. It's sleeping with the roaches and taking best guesses So shed off the sheets and before all the stains And a few more of your least favorite things. Raindrops on roses and girls in white dresses It's sleeping with the roaches and taking best guesses So shed off the sheets and before all the stains And a few more of your least favorite things. Inside, what a wonderful caricature of intimacy Inside, what a wonderful caricature of intimacy Raindrops on roses and girls in white dresses It's sleeping with the roaches and taking best guesses So shed off the sheets and before all the stains And a few more of your least favorite things. Raindrops on roses and the girls in white dresses And sleeping with the roaches and taking best guesses At the shade of the sheets and before all the stains And a few more of your least favorite things.
