Speak Only in Random Song Lyrics

[Spice]

Mrs. Murphy couldn't sleep
Her nerves were slightly off the beat
Until she solved her problem
With a can of Ovaltine

She drank a cup full most every night
And oooh, how she would dream
Until something rough got in the stuff
And made her neighbors scream, "Ow!"

Who put the Benzadrine
in Mrs Murphy's Ovaltine?
Sure is a shame, don't know who's to blame
'Cause the old lady didn't even get his name

Where did she get that that stuff?
Now she just can't get enough
It might have been the man who wasn't there
Nah, Jack, that guy's a square!

Everybody knows that you love me
'Cause it shows
But still you play the game
And we're both hurt
But who's to blame

Who's to blame
When the sun misses the light of the moon
And who's to blame
When the sun awakens the dreamer too soon

And Johnny said
… Take Jimmy Johnson, take Tommy Thompson
Take my best friend, Bo
Take anybody that you want as
Long as she don't go
Take any boy in the world
Daddy, please, don't take the girl
… Same old boy, same sweet girl
Ten years down the road
He held her tight and kissed her lips in
Front of the picture show
Stranger came and pulled a gun
Grabbed her by the arm
Said, "If you do what I tell you to, there
Won't be any harm"

I took her in my arms upstairs
And as she said her night-time prayers
I felt a fever burning in her head
She gave thanks for Mum and me
And said, "I heard my angel speak
Daddy this is what my angel said

One more year of lollipops, ice-cream cones and soda pop
One more year of Daddy's little girl
One more year of cracker jacks, bubble gum and sugar smacks
One more year of Daddy's little girl

I don't drink, I don't smoke
I don't sniff, no coke
New age, that's me
That's what, it should be

I am Mr. Natural
You can call me Mr. Natural

I don't drive, no car
I live by, the stars
I don't eat, no meat
I am Mr. complete

I am Mr. Natural
You can call me Mr. Natural
I am Mr. Natural

So don't ask me
Hank, why do you drink?
Hank, why do you roll smoke?
Why must you live out the songs that you wrote?
If I'm down in a honky-tonk
And some ole slick's trying to give me friction
I'll say leave me alone
I'm singing all night long
It's a family tradition

 

[Spice]

Well the Illinois Central
and the Southern Central Freight
got to keep on pushin', momma
cause you know they're runnin' late
without love
where would you be now
without love?

Riding on the City of New Orleans,
Illinois Central, Monday morning rail
Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders
Three conductors and twenty-five sacks of mail
All along the southbound odyssey
The train pulls out at Kankakee
Rolls along past houses, farms and fields
Passin' trains that have no names
Freight yards full of old black men
And the graveyards of the rusted automobiles

Hank, why do you drink?
Hank, why do you roll smoke?
Why must you live out the songs that you wrote?
If I'm down in a honky-tonk
And some ole slick's trying to give me friction
I'll say leave me alone
I'm singing all night long
It's a family tradition

Take a typical man put him
With a typical woman then
Sit back and watch everthing slide
It's a perfectly natural
Expression of Ill will but
When will Hostilities subside?

There's a fraction too much friction
There's a fraction too much friction
Don't believe in opposing factions
What we need is some positive action
There's a fraction too much friction

Looking out on the morning rain
I used to feel so uninspired
And when I knew I had to face another day
Lord, it made me feel so tired
Before the day I met you
Life was so unkind
You're the key
To my piece of mind
'Cause you make me feel
You make me feel
you make me feel
Like a natural woman

Yeah, I'm gonna tell my tale, come on
A come on, ha, a give a listen

'Cause I was born lonely down by the riverside
Learned to spin fortune wheels and throw dice
I was just thirteen when I had to leave home
Knew I couldn't stick around, I had to roam

Ain't good lookin', but you know I ain't shy
Ain't afraid to look you girl, hey, in the eye
So if you need some lovin' and you need it right away
Take a little time out, and maybe I'll stay

Goin' to lay down my burden, Down by the riverside, Down by the riverside, Down by the riverside; Goin' to lay down my burden, Down by the riverside, to study war no more.

Goin’ to lay down my sword and shield, Down by the riverside, Down by the riverside, Goin’ to lay down my sword and shield, Down by the riverside, to study war no more.

Goin’ to try on my long white robe, Down by the riverside, Down by the riverside, Goin’ to try on my long white robe, Down by the riverside, to study war no more.

I don't wanna face the day
I don't wanna face the day
I don't wanna face the day, the day, today

Long night leaves me stranded
Black vision, danger sign
No love, need protection
Feels like I'm on production line
Daggers of dawn, cold hearted day
Why does it have to be morning?
Cover my head, stayin' in bed
Too late, the luckless warning

I don't wanna face the day, the day, today
I don't wanna face the day, the day, today
