Push It
by Jon Eric
Stage right
Enter with the flowers
Every thread in place from your brown socks to your brown eyes
Tableau
Picture perfect setting
And you’ve become an actor she can barely recognize
Your love awaits
Her shallow breath is drawn
She hesitates
The moment’s gone
(chorus)
Because if you push it, you’ll wish it never happened
When you force it, of course it all goes wrong
When you strain, the pain can drive a man insane
But when your laugh is real, we all will laugh along
Recite
You’ve memorized your lines, and
Try to carry on in spite of her concerted frown
Exeunt
She from out the front door
You a moment later as you try to flag her down
She took her car
The rain begins to drop
She can’t be far
You vow that you won’t stop
(chorus)
You navigate the town
Hitting every favorite spot you know
The evening drags you down
Every place is empty or it’s closed
And when you’re sick of driving
You wonder if it’s worth it for a torch
Her car is in your driveway
She’s waiting for you on the porch
Your hair is soaked
Your tie balled in your fist
Her voice is choked
And then you kiss
(chorus, repeat to fade)

Re: Push It
Chorus:
All I made is one mistake and we're through
you push me away
All I get is a heartache and it's due
I'd push it away if I could
I was waiting while you were faking
and asked about my role
All I said was can I expect more than
superficial love
All the while it's clear to me
and perfect sense to you
I alone put my soul to rest
my role is just to be waiting 'round for you
I take it back I'll make a pact
to do anything for you
While you're taking while you're faking
my heart is breaking but I'll remain your fool
All I made is one mistake and we're through
you push me away
All I get is a heartache and it's due
I'd push it away if I could
I was waiting while you were faking
and asked about my role
All I said was can I expect more than
superficial love
All the while it's clear to me
and perfect sense to you
I alone put my soul to rest
my role is just to be waiting 'round for you
I take it back I'll make a pact
to do anything for you
While you're taking while you're faking
my heart is breaking but I'll remain your fool

Re: Push It
Push It by Jay String
Baby when you got back from the hospital today, with our
Baby on your back I took one look and ran away
Don't know what to say - how proud can a proud parent be when our
Only child turns out to be a freak monstrosity?
Baby oh my baby, there's no way that that's our baby, I'm not
sure that thats a human babe at all
Baby I'm not trying to be inhospitable but to
Let this beast continue living's quite impossible
Kill it here and now and that would just be massive kindness
And No Twelve Men Good And True would ever dare convict us
Push it push it push it down the stairs
Make it look like accident in case somebody cares
Sudden, brutal death of it is in my dreams and prayers so
Push it push it push it, push it down the stairs
First I thought that he was great but on closer inspection,
It didn't have a penis, which is major imperfection, and
Then I worked out what you'd done, it must be Satan's daughter
Mankind is at stake, abomination must be slaughtered
Baby oh my baby, there's no room in our small roomings
For a child that isn't human, it must die die die!
Push it push it push it down the stairs
Desperate, hungry way it looks at me leaves me so scared
Only way we'll take it out is creep up unawares, so
Push it push it push it, push it down the stairs
I don't get the way
You're looking at me
Didn't we both see
Paranormal activity
Three?

Paco del Stinko - Push It
Everything was alright- But you had to push it
I would have given it away - But you just took it
Now there's nothing left - And I'm all alone
All the love is gone - And I'm stripped to the bone
I gotta know - I gotta know why did you push it
Everybody was groovy - We could laugh and sing
We had it all - We had everything
What was it that turned? - What made you change?
How'd it end up all so warped? - How'd it get so strange?
I gotta know - I gotta know why did you push it
I remember your eyes - I'll remember your lies
So now it's over - I gotta let it go
Time to wet the embers - No more afterglow
I won't wish you harm - But I can't wish you well
And you leave me guessing - Cause you never did tell
I gotta know - I gotta know why did you push it
Everything was alright- But you had to push it
I would have given it away - But you just took it
Now there's nothing left - And I'm all alone

Re: Push It
push it
by pillar of paprika
foolish,
eager to be alive,
with the wisdom of half the age.
sweetness,
lacking confidence,
carried the years to the cage.
it waits without a single reason why
and you'll push it until the ledge meets the sky
silent,
she sits between us,
clutching and relaxing knots.
resentment
stirs amidst absence
simmering the most hostile of thoughts
it waits without a single reason why
and you'll push it until the ledge meets the sky
this is where we will depart
this is where we will depart
and it still shocks and saddens me
that we will do so in the coldest of ways
it waits without a single reason why
and you'll push it until the ledge meets the sky

Re: Push It
BILLY AND THE PSYCHOTICS
PUSH IT
-don't take the time
to press the point
so why do I sit by
and let my desire ...slide?
Let's not say dirty words
that start with letters lovers like..
Well, is this what we want -
to play it so polite...?
'Cuz I just watch it fly by!
there it goes -
right out the window!
I just roll my eyes
watch the time tick by
I know you wanna go
to the edge of the envelope
where we're not meant to go...
you know you wanna push it!
Double meanings / sound threatening
a million layers under what we're thinking
I kinda wonder why it falls to me
to make it all okay
and set the limits of the game, when -
I know you wanna go
to the edge of the envelope
where we're not meant to go..
you know you wanna push it
{solo bit..}
Relax, sit back
you can pretend you're fine;
believe in grand plans
...just keep towing that line.
Never go
to the edge of the envelope
where we're not meant to go ....
don't you wanna push it?
I know you wanna go
to the edge of the envelope
where we're not meant to go
You know you wanna push it

Re: Push It
Push it
Bad boys at bat mitzvahs
My head against the wall
The phone was in my hand
But now it's on the floor
To make the call
I tried to push it
But you refuse,
You refuse to talk about it anymore
But all I can see
Are these men in their white costumes following me
How much more can I take
When you just keep pushing
pushing me away
Maybe I've kicked this horse
One too many times
Cause now it's lying dead on the floor.
This stream will take its course,
And of course I'll take mine
If I refuse,
I refuse to think about it, I'll be fine.
But all I can see
Are these men in their white costumes following me
How much more can I take
When you make me pay like this for each mistake
But all I can see
Are these men in their white costumes following me
How much more can I take
When you just keep pushing, pushing me away
