Got Any Gum

Walsh Joe Got Any Gum Lyrics
1.Fun

(Joe Walsh and Joe Vitale)

I'm gonna have my own private party
Gonna invite everyone I know
We'll all have our own personal celebration

I'm gonna send out invitations
To all my friends -- your friends -- and their friends too
We'll all go on a permanent paid vacation
Wouldn't that be fun?

Fun
And if anyone asks you I like having fun
Fun
I like having fun
Here we go now -- (Awesome guitar solo)

Well if I was king I'd sign a proclamation
And if I was president I'd pass a law
And I'd call for a full-blown Senate investigation
Of everyone who wasn't having fun

Fun
If something ain't fun why do it?
I'd rather have fun
That's all there is to it

3.Half Of The Time

(Joe Walsh)

They say it's gonna get cloudy and storm
And then the weather is fine
And they say it's gonna be partly sunny and warm
And partly cloudy half of the time

And there's all of these rules
Based on all these predictions
Makes it so hard to define
Where do you draw the line?

Seems like fifty percent's about the best you can do
Based on latest projections
Oh, 'cause there's all these laws -- all these rules
But then again there's always exceptions --
To the rules

Amidst all this confusion
Where do you draw the line
Half of the time you are right
You are wrong -- half of the time
You are off -- you are on
Half of the time you are here right now
Half of the time you are gone --
Half of the time

'Cause it never ends
It all depends on -- where you draw the line
When half of the time you are right
You are wrong -- half of the time
You are weak -- you are strong
Half of the time you're alone
Half of the time you belong
Half of the time you are here right now
Half of the time you are gone --
Half of the time

4.In My Car

(Joe Walsh/Richard Starkey/Mo Foster/Kim Goody)

(Note:I wonder if Richard Starkey is Ringo Starr? That is
Ringo's real name,
and Joe has been known to tour with Ringo's All-Starrs...)

Doesn't make a difference
I don't care how far
We can go the distance
In my car
In my car

Don't bother with directions
Doesn't matter where we are
Cruisin' down the highway
In my car

In my car
I don't need no backseat drivers
Leave 'em all behind
And trouble it can't find me
When I'm in my car

Hey!
In my car

5.Malibu

(Joe Walsh and Joe Vitale)

Malibu will get ya
Malibu
Malibu will get ya
Malibu
It'll get ya!

Private gates
Prime rates
Unreal estates
How do you do?

Malibu will get ya
Malibu
Malibu will get ya
Malibu
It'll get ya!

Yacht clubs
Hot tubs
Back rubs
How do you do?
Mud slides
High tides
Free rides
You're never through --
In Malibu

Bridges get burned
Lessons get learned
No one's concerned

Malibu will get ya
Malibu
Malibu will get ya
Malibu
It'll get ya!

Three piece suits
Cowboy boots
Dress designer jeans
Gucci-goo
High style
Everybody else looks just like you
In Malibu
How do you do?

Bridges get burned
Lessons get learned
No one's concerned
In beautiful downtown Malibu

Malibu
It'll get ya
Malibu
It'll get ya!

6.Memory Lane

(Joe Walsh)

Sometimes I dream of the future
And sometimes I travel down Memory Lane
With the Yesterday Daily Review

Memories carefully kept in a pile
Like newspapers stacked in the corner
To relive my yesterdays once in a while
Although they are faded and worn
They remind me
Once in a while

Of far away places and long ago names
Yesterdays back down the road that you came
Somewhere behind you down Memory Lane
Memory Lane -- down Memory Lane

And when my luck comes to the end of the line
Like old men you see in the subway
I'll thumb through the pages and take my last ride
With the Yesterday Daily Review
Right there beside me
To remind me
Once in a while

Of far away places and long ago names
Yesterdays back down the road that you came
Somewhere behind you down Memory Lane
Down Memory Lane -- down Memory Lane

7.No Peace In The Jungle

(Tommy Dean)

Said the mamba snake to the cockatoo
I can't get no sleep like I used to do
All night long -- the wild boys run through the streets
They're shootin' up the night
I listen to them fight

There's no peace in the jungle when the moon is high
Watch the war babies go hungry and cry
There's no peace in the jungle when the moon is high
Everybody's fightin' -- nobody knows why

At dawn the refugees are seeking shelter
And from the violence of the night they run in fright --
Helter skelter
From the volatile eruption -- and the wolves of war
Nurse their young -- famine and destruction

There's no peace in the jungle when the moon is high
Watch the war babies go hungry and cry
There's no peace in the jungle when the moon is high
Everybody's fightin' -- nobody knows why

8.The Radio Song

(Joe Walsh)

I like to listen to music
I like the way that it sounds
On the radio

I like to sit in a silent place
When no one's around
And listen inside it

Inside the silence is a melody
Voices singing harmony
I close my eyes and listen carefully
The silence starts to get loud

It's like your favorite station
Playing your favorite song
Just like they do on the radio
Like they do on the radio

Inside the silence is a symphony
Every note there is in every key
The music tells me how it wants to be
I help it write itself down
I hear the way that would sound

It's like your favorite station
Playing your favorite song
Just like they do on the radio
Like they do on the radio
But the radio isn't on --
On the radio

9.Time

(Joe Walsh)

It's time
It's about time we talked
We should -- that would be good
And in time
Maybe in time we'll learn -- to listen
Maybe in time we'll learn to talk
One at a time

When I was younger
The hurry up hunger -- of growin' up
Took up all of our time
And time and time again -- I find
That when everyone talks at the same time
Nothing gets done

In time
I hope that we learn in time
If only we could
That would be good

I'm concerned
One thing I've learned
Now that I'm older
Lookin' over my shoulder
As time goes on and on
When all your time is gone
Oh, all your time is gone
And it's about time we talk
Before we run out of time

10.Up To Me

(Joe Walsh)

I was blind -- but now I see
Now I see

I used to be lost
And then I found out
I didn't have to be
It was up to me
It's all up to me

I was lyin' -- lyin' to myself
Somebody else was lyin'

And I was caught -- caught in between
Now I'm free -- now I see
It's all up to me
Up to me
It's all up to me

I used to pretend
I was this -- I was that
Pretending

I was wrong -- but that's alright
Now I see -- it didn't have to be that way
It's all up to me
It's all up to me
Up to me
It's all up to me
