Speak Only in Random Song Lyrics

[Spice]

I live on an apartment
On the ninety-ninth floor of my block
And I sit at home lookin' out the window
Imaginin' the world has stopped

Then in flies a guy
Who's all dressed up just like the Union Jack
He says "I would drive around
If I had his kind of detergent pack"

I said, "Hey, hey, you, you, get off of my cloud
Hey, hey, you, you, get off of my cloud
Hey, hey, you, you, get off of my cloud
Don't hang around 'cause two's a crowd
On my cloud baby"

Make the world go away
And get it off my shoulders
Say the things you used to say
And make the world go away

 

[Spice]

Here's a little song I wrote
You might want to sing it note for note
Don't worry, be happy
In every life we have some trouble
When you worry you make it double
Don't worry, be happy
Don't worry, be happy now

Well, I'm going away to leave
Won't be back no more
Going back down south
Child, don't you wanna go?
Woman, I'm troubled
I be all worried in mind
Well babe, I just can't be satisfied
And I just can't keep from crying

 

[John53]

Well, I'm going away to leave
Won't be back no more
Going back down south
Child, don't you wanna go?
Woman, I'm troubled
I be all worried in mind
Well babe, I just can't be satisfied
And I just can't keep from crying

Turn on the tears Astrid, and don't forget to let the neighbours see
What a low down deal you got when you married me
You can drown your days in valium and brandy
Talking to the cat and the dog
And you can shove your cheap French vogue society

Goodbye, goodbye...
I won't be comin' back for long

 

[Eddi]

I say don't you know
You say you don't know

 

[Spice]

Hoverin' by my suitcase
Tryin' to find a warm place
To spend the night
Heavy rain fallin'
Seems I hear your voice callin'
It's all right

A rainy night in Georgia
A rainy night in Georgia
Lord, I believe it's rainin' all over the world
I feel like it's rainin' all over the world

That is the time of the moon and the year
When love dreams to Indian maiden appear
And this is the song that they hear
When I'm calling you will you answer too?
That means I offer my love to you
To be your own

 

[Spice]

Turn on the tears Astrid, and don't forget to let the neighbours see
What a low down deal you got when you married me
You can drown your days in valium and brandy
Talking to the cat and the dog
And you can shove your cheap French vogue society

Goodbye, goodbye...
I won't be comin' back for long

The sailors say, "Brandy, you're a fine girl" (you're a fine girl)
"What a good wife you would be" (such a fine girl)
"Yeah, your eyes could steal a sailor from the sea"

(Thank you for one that I didn't have give myself a headache over. LOL - I try very hard not to repeat songs.)

 

[Spice]

I say don't you know
You say you don't know

baby can't you see
what you're doing to me
don't you know
i love you
love you so

 

[We Never Know]

Turn on the tears Astrid, and don't forget to let the neighbours see
What a low down deal you got when you married me
You can drown your days in valium and brandy
Talking to the cat and the dog
And you can shove your cheap French vogue society

Goodbye, goodbye...
I won't be comin' back for long

Out there in the spotlight
You're a million miles away
Every ounce of energy
You try to give away
As the sweat pours out your body
Like the music that you play
Later in the evening
As you lie awake in bed
With the echoes from the amplifiers
Ringin' in your head
You smoke the day's last cigarette
Rememberin' what she said

Here I am
On the road again
There I am
Up on the stage
Here I go
Playin' star again
There I go
Turn the page

Ringin' in your head
You smoke the day's last cigarette
Rememberin' what she said

Here I go
Playin' star again
There I go
Turn the page

Here I am, this is me
There's nowhere else on earth I'd rather be
Here I am, it's just me and you
Tonight we make our dreams come true

Spend half my life in airports doing crosswords and attempting to sleep
And when the bar is open then you'll often find me warming a seat
(Now you're flying) I never find a place where I can stay
(Really flying) I'd rather be a thousand miles away

Thousand miles away
Working for yourself sometimes ain't all that it's cracked up to be
It can be as lonely at the top as at the bottom of that corporate tree
(Now you're flying) I'm told I'm going places - who can say ?
(Really flying) I might arrive but I'll be gone the very next day
I must be on my way
A thousand miles away

I must be on my way
A thousand miles away

I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
Time don't matter to me
'Cause I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
And there's no place I want to be

 

[John53]

I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
Time don't matter to me
'Cause I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
And there's no place I want to be

We gotta get outta this place
If it's the last thing we ever do
We gotta get outta this place
'Cause girl, there's a better life for me and you

 

[Viker]

We gotta get outta this place
If it's the last thing we ever do
We gotta get outta this place
'Cause girl, there's a better life for me and you

There must be some kind of way outta here
Said the joker to the thief
There's too much confusion
I can't get no relief

 

[John53]

There must be some kind of way outta here
Said the joker to the thief
There's too much confusion
I can't get no relief

I said the joker is a wanted man.
He makes his way all across the land
I see him siftin' through the sand
So I'll tell you all the story 'bout the joker and the thief in the night

Well Joe got a promotion
He's up there on top
Everybody was cheering him on
He deserves everything he's got

Guess who's the new talk of the town
The new S.O.B
The one everybody loves cutting down
Man it's a sight to see
They all smile right to his face, and hide the jealousy
Me I'm just working hard to get to that place
Where everybody hates me

Well Bill got a promotion
He knocked Joe back down
Now Joe's everybody's long lost friend [laugh]
He's back in the crowd

Guess who's the new talk of the town
The new S.O.B
The one everybody loves cutting down
Man it's a sight to see
They all smile right to his face, and hide the jealousy
Me I'm just working hard to get to that place
Where everybody hates me

Well everybody wants to be the big dog
Want to wag that big dog tail
But till they are they want to see the big dog fail

You pay your dues and you get your breaks
Then you’re the S.O.B
The one everybody loves to hate
It just comes naturally
They all smile right to your face, and hide the jealousy
That's just the way it goes and I can't wait
Till everybody hates me

Holding council with the king and queen
Trying hard to decide the fate of their regime
There's only one thing needed to complete the harmonisin'
That's a man with a voice like a scraping violin
Waiting for Mr. Damage

 

[Wu Wei]

Kings and queens and guillotines
Taking lives denied
Starch and parchments laid the laws
When bishops took the ride

Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss

 

[Stevicus]

Kings and queens and guillotines
Taking lives denied
Starch and parchments laid the laws
When bishops took the ride

Brenda and Eddie were the
Popular steadies
And the king and the queen
Of the prom
Riding around with the car top
Down and the radio on
Nobody looked any finer
Or was more of a hit at the
Parkway Diner
We never knew we could want more
Than that out of life
Surely Brenda and Eddie would
Always know how to survive

 

[Wu Wei]

Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss

I woke up in a Soho doorway
A policeman knew my name
He said, "You can go sleep at home tonight
If you can get up and walk away"
I staggered back to the underground
And the breeze blew back my hair
I remember throwin' punches around
And preachin' from my chair
