From: Henry Yu (henry@icx.com) over a decade ago, my best friend found a promo copy of the big star's radio city lp at midnite records in nyc. unlike all other promo copies we had seen, it contained a mimeographed lyric sheet ! while we and fellow big star fanatics have never been able to find out how this copy came to be, it has ever so slowly been disseminated. very few outside of my college clique of fans ever got copies, (tho those that did: jim barber A&R at elektra, scott miller of loud family, howard wuelfing who wrote the liner notes to the first CD issue of big star 3rd, dan vallor general scenester at large were all well connected enough to have disseminated it more exponentially). RADIO CITY "MOD LANG" I can't be satisfied what you want me to do and so I moan had to leave my home. Love my gull oooh yeh she got to save my soul I want a witness I want to testify. CHORUS How long can this go on ? All night long I was howling I was a barking dog aahow aahow. "BACK OF A CAR" Sitting in the back of a car music so loud can't tell a thing thinking bout what to say and I can't find the lines. You know I love you a lot I just don't know should I not ? waiting for a brighter day and I can't find a way. I'll go on and on with you like to fall and lie with you I love you too wo wo wo. Baby I'm too afraid I just don't know if it's okay trying to get away from everything. Why don't you take me home it's gone too far inside this car I know I'll feel a whole lot more when I get alone. "DAISY GLAZE" I'm driving alone sad about you not going home what's to do you better not leave me here better not leave me here ooh I want you here how can you leave me here. I lie in a stream and floating fine receiving things in my beautiful mind sometimes oh sometimes sometimes oh sometimes lover yes I am Lover you know I am. Now I'm in a bar that's got to be where they are going to dance in the bar they're going to fight on the floor faster than I can see. Now I gonna score make for the door Who is this whore ? soon be beggin drags. And I'm thinking Christ nullify my life. You're going to die you gonna decease. "SHE'S A MOVER" She don't believe anything and she can dance oh now all night so wild when she's a mover she's so wild. Draggin fast we go ooh I dig speed so good it destroy her in the cruiser it destroyer. She name was Marsha Marsha the name she look like a dove now and when she smile like crocodile She tells the man to go to hell and where that's at is where I'm coming from so wild ooh she's a mover. She like devil you know She finds herself in Catholic school she's wild. "SEPTEMBER GURLS" September gurls do so much I was your butch and you were touched I loved you well never mind I've been crying all the time December boys got it bad. September gurls I don't know why how can I deny what's inside even thought I keep away maybe we'll love all our days. When I get to bed late at night that's the time she makes things right ooh when she makes luv to me. "O MY SOUL" O my soul mama I lose control go ahead and shake if you wanna and I'll never know wull come on you know it's alright we've got all night you're driving me mad and you shouldn't do that we're going to get on up and drink till we drop. You're really a nice girl and I think you're the most and when we're together I feel like a boss CHORUS Trying to see you I'd know off your doors dying to see you I'm down on the floor. I can't get a license to drive my car but I don't really need it if I'm a big star. Never you mind go on and have a good time. "LIFE IS WHITE" Don't like to see your face don't like to hear you talk at all I could be with Ann but I'd just get bored CHORUS Can't even bring myself to call and I don't want to see you now cause I know what you lack and I can't go back to that. Whatever's all the same now there's nobody to know and I can't recall-recall your name all I can say is so. Your life is white and I don't think I like you hanging around. "WAY OUT WEST" She's a schemer and she makes me bad but I love her a lot those lonely nights I was in a big room playing my things oh I wish she were here she can be so kind when she's not trying to hide she tries not to love me but she knows she can CHORUS And why don't you come on back from way out west and love me we can work out the rest She thinks she's a mystery to all but I know what's behind those eyes sometimes I think she'll make me forget what I need most to remember and then I'll slip on back even if they say it's better. "WHAT'S GOIN AHN" I liked her face and oh those eyes she left today oh goodbye and looking at you I'm drained outright and isolated in the light CHORUS And I resigned everyone ever since I was young I'm starting to understand What's going ahn and how it's planned I like love but I don't know all these girls they come and go always nothing left to say. "YOU GET WHAT YOU DESERVE" Try to understand what I'm going through and don't blame for what folks will do for some of us it's not a bood time but you're going to get used to and you'd better resign yourself. CHORUS You get what you deserve you ought to find out what it's worth and you've gotta have a lotta nerve. You just do what pleases you and go on and sign out every move you're going to get place in the scene all God's orphans get face in the dream. Too bad such a drag ow ! so much pain down the drain and a lot of us ain't got many friends. "MORPHA TOO SMALL" Morpha too small you're going to hurt yourself I might call and I might need some help I'm and old show and I don't know what to do I'm in love with you. Kitty asked me to read her stars I had liked her from afar going to play with your heart I knew not to start but there you are. "I'M IN LOVE WITH A GIRL" I'm in love with a girl finest girl in the world I didn't know I could feel this way. Think about here all the time always on my mind I didn't know about love. All that a man should do is true I didn't know this could happen to me.
