Speak Only in Random Song Lyrics

[Spice]

Bought me a box of French cigars
Bought me a black beret
Get my French from the girl next door
Teaching me night and day

Got me thinking 'bout the south of France
Vis-à-vis de vous
Pack my suitcase, take the chance
Got nothing to lose

Gimme the sound of a rolling dice
Gimme a whisky, don't think twice
Deal me the card that takes my blues away
Take me away to Marseilles

I'd like to be yours
Tomorrow
So I'm giving you some time
To think it over today

But you can't take my blues away
No matter what you say, babe
You can't take my blues away
No matter what you say
What you say, hey, babe

 

[Spice]

Blame the whiskey on the beer
Blame the beer on the whiskey
Blame the mornin' on the night
For who's lyin' here with me
Blame the bar for the band
Blame the band for the song
Blame the song for the party that went all night long

But it ain't my fault
No, it ain't my fault
Mighta had a little fun
Lotta wrong got done
But it ain't my fault

Blame the heart for the hurtin'
Blame the hurtin' on the heart
Blame the dark on the devil
Blame the devil on the dark
Blame the ex for the drinkin'
Blame the drinkin' for the ex
Blame the two for one tequila's for whatever happens next

Wooh!
Oh, girl
Blame it on the rain, yeah, yeah
Blame it on the stars, wooh!
You said you didn't need her
You told her goodbye (goodbye)
You sacrificed a good love
To satisfy your pride
Now you wished that you should had her (had her)
And you feel like such a fool
You let her walk away
Now it just don't feel the same

 

[Stevicus]

Young man, there's no need to feel down, I said
Young man, pick yourself off the ground, I said
Young man, 'cause you're in a new town
There's no need to be unhappy
Young man, there's a place you can go, I said
Young man, when you're short on your dough you can
Stay there and I'm sure you will find
Many ways to have a good time

It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A.
It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A.
They have everything for young men to enjoy
You can hang out with all the boys
It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A.
It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A.
You can get yourself clean, you can have a good meal
You can do whatever you feel

Well, I'm frustrated
Outdated
I really want to be overrated
I'm a finder
And I'm a keeper
I'm not a loser and I ain't no weeper
I got the boys
To make the noise
Won't ever let up, hope it annoys you
Join the pack
Fill the crack
Well, now you're here, there's no way back

Bang your head
Metal health will drive you mad
Bang your head
Metal health will drive you mad

Metal health will cure your crazy
Metal health will cure your mad
Metal health is what we all need
It's like a heart attack

Bang your head
Wake the dead
We're all metal mad
It's all you have
So bang your head
And raise the dead, oh yeah
Metal health
It drives you mad, mad, mad, mad

 

[Spice]

Little boy sit on the corner and cry
Big man come and he ask him why
Says I can't do what the big boys do
Man sat down and he cried too

It ain't me, it's the people who say
Men are leading the women astray
But I say it's the women today
Are smarter than the men in every way

That's right, the women are smarter
That's right, the women are smarter
That's right, the women are smarter
The women are smarter that's right, that's right!

Mark 2:22:

Go away from my window
Leave at your own chosen speed
I'm not the one you want, babe
I'm not the one you need
You say you're lookin' for someone
Who's never weak but always strong
To protect you and defend you
Whether you are right or wrong
Someone to open each and every door
But it ain't me, babe
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe
It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe

You made me mad
Moving fake acting mad funny
Now i dont look at u the same
Now u mad ugly
Dont try to come around again
To get this bag from me

To think it over today

But you can't take my blues away
No matter what you say, babe
You can't take my blues away
No matter what you say

It's twelve o'clock, and it's a wonderful day
I know you hate me, but I'll ask anyway
Won't you come with me to a place in a little town?
The only way to get there's to go straight down
There's no bathroom, and there is no sink
The water out of the tap is very hard to drink
Very hard to drink

You wait 'til tomorrow
You wait 'til tomorrow

I am through with hanging 'round all the boys in town
Now I want a man around, get me out of here
I am just red brassiere to all the boys in town
Put this bus in top gear, get me out of here

I must have been desperate
I must have been pretty low
I must have been desperate
I must have been pretty low

You wait 'til tomorrow
You wait 'til tomorrow

Tonight you're mine completely
You give your love so sweetly
Tonight the light of love is in your eyes
But will you love me tomorrow?
… Is this a lasting treasure
Or just a moment's pleasure?
Can I believe the magic of your sighs?
Will you still love me tomorrow?

Here we go...

Well I know this guy, we have a real good time
I let him get a little close but
Do I like him? Yes! Do I love him? No!
We don't fight and all my friends say we look good together
But try as I might I just don't see me with him forever

I don't want a man I can live with
I want a love that leaves no room for doubt
I don't want a man I can live with
I want a man that I can't live without

Break my body with the back of your hand
Doesn't make sense from where I stand
Baby, baby, oh, why you wanna mess it up?
Sooner or later I'll find my place
Find my body, better fix my face
Please don't ask me
How I've been getting off

Ha, no, please don't ask me
How I've been getting off

It's a fine line between pleasure and pain
You've done it once, you could do it again
Whatever you done, don't try to explain
It's a fine, fine line between pleasure and pain
(It's all the same)

Taking her seat at the bar
She don't talk to anyone
Plane leaving soon for afar
Where she don't know anyone
She thinks of her precious times
There's no-one she leaves behind
Who could change her mind

Is this the way it's gonna be forever?
Is this the way it's gonna be forever?
Is this the way it's gonna be forever now?

 

[Shadow Wolf]

Is this the way it's gonna be forever?
Is this the way it's gonna be forever now?

When you're feeling love's unfair
You just ask the lonely
When you're lost in deep despair
You just ask the lonely

 

[John53]

When you're feeling love's unfair
You just ask the lonely
When you're lost in deep despair
You just ask the lonely

Only the lonely
Only the lonely

Only the lonely
Know the way I feel tonight
Only the lonely
Know this feeling ain't right

There goes my baby
There goes my heart
They're gone forever
So far apart

 

[Jedster]

Seems like the other day
My baby went away
He went away 'cross the sea
It's been two years or so
Since I saw my baby go
And then this letter came for me
It said that we were through
He found somebody new
Oh, let me think, let me think, what can I do?
Oh no, oh no
Oh no-no-no-no-no

(Remember) walkin' in the sand
(Remember) walkin' hand in hand
(Remember) the night was so exciting
(Remember) smile was so inviting
(Remember) then he touched my cheek
(Remember) with his fingertips
Softly, softly we'd meet with our lips

Whatever happened to
The boy that I once knew?
The boy who said he'd be true
Oh, what will happen to
The life I gave to you?
What will I do with it now?
(Remember) walkin' in the sand
(Remember) walkin' hand in hand
(Remember) the night was so exciting
(Remember) smile was so inviting
(Remember) then he touched my cheek
(Remember) with his fingertips
(Remember) softly
(Remember)

 

[It Aint Necessarily So]

I'm a finder
And I'm a keeper
I'm not a loser and I ain't no weeper

I'm a picker
I'm a grinner
I'm a lover
And I'm a sinner
I play my music in the sun

I'm a joker
I'm a smoker
I'm a midnight toker
I get my lovin' on the run

 

[It Aint Necessarily So]

Taking her seat at the bar

Bayo, Delia said, just give me your gun
He shot my Billy dead now I'm gonna see him hung.
She went down to DeLion's club through Billy DeLion's blood
Stepped up to Stagger Lee at the bar,
Said, "Buy me a gin fizz, love."

[listen beyond the instrumental to hear what Delia does to Stagger Lee at the bar; not good for him]

Mark 1:35:

The legend of Stagger Lee might be of interest to some. The story is old, probably has some truth and some embellishment to it, and has been made into many songs including this one from the Grateful Dead, who seem to have invented and inserted a cop named Bayo as well as Billy D's wife Delia DeLion, the hero of the story (closing refrain: "The song that Delia sung was Look Out Stagger Lee"). They also changed the year of the incident from 1895 to 1940. You'd need to listen from the beginning to get all of that.

This is how legends evolve through time, as different artists tell the same story a little differently over time:

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

Also flying to another country

Eight miles high and when you touch down
You'll find that it's stranger than known
Signs in the streets that say where you're going
Are somewhere just being their own

Nowhere is there warmth to be found
Among those afraid of losing their ground
Rain gray town unknown for its sound
In places...

Round the squares huddled in storms
Some laughing, some just shapeless forms
Sidewalk scenes and black limousines
Some living, some standing around

Language alert:

It's alright, it's okay
I'm gonna make it anyway
Gonna make it, can't give up now
I'ma make it somehow

Sometimes I just feel like quittin', I still might
Why do I put up this fight? Why do I still write?
Sometimes it's hard enough just dealin' with real life
Sometimes I wanna jump on stage and just kill mics
And show these people what my level of skill's like
But I'm still white, sometimes I just hate life

Somethin' ain't right, hit the brake lights
Case of the stage fright, drawin' a blank like
Da-duh-duh-da-da, it ain't my fault
Great big eyeballs, my insides crawl
And I clam up, I just slam shut
I just can't do it, my whole manhood's
Just been stripped, I have just been 'vict'd
So I must then get off the bus then split
Man, **** this ****, yo, I'm goin' the **** home
World on my shoulders as I run back to this 8 Mile Road

You wait 'til tomorrow

Gotta make a move to a town that's right for me
Town to keep me movin'
Keep me groovin' with some energy
Well, I talk about it, talk about it
Talk about it, talk about it
Talk about, talk about
Talk about movin'
Gotta move on
Gotta move on
Gotta move on
Won't you take me to
Funkytown?
Won't you take me to
Funkytown?
Won't you take me to
Funkytown?
Won't you take me to
Funkytown?
