Speak Only in Random Song Lyrics

[Spice]

Step right up come on in
If you'd like to take the grand tour
Of the lonely house that once was
Home sweet home

I have nothing here to sell you
Just some things that I will tell you
Some things I know will chill you
To the bone

Over there sits the chair
Where she'd bring the paper to me
Sit down on my knee and whisper
Oh, I love you

But now she's gone forever
And this old house it will never
Be the same without the love
That we once knew

Straight ahead that's thebed
Where we'd lie in love together
And Lord knows we had
A good thing going here

See her picture on the table
Don't it look like she'd be able
Just to touch me and say
Good mornin' dear

There's her rings all her things
And her clothes are in the closet
Where she left them when
She tore my world apart

As you leave you'll see the nursery
Oh, she left me without mercy
Takin' nothin' but our baby
And my heart

Step right up come on in
Come on in

I hear the tickin' of the clock
I'm lying here the room's pitch dark
I wonder where you are tonight
No answer on the telephone
And the night goes by so very slow
Oh I hope that it won't end though
Alone

Till now I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone?
How do I get you alone?

 

[beenherebeforeagain]

Seventy-three men sailed up
From the San Francisco Bay
Rolled off of their ship and here's what they had to say
We're calling everyone to ride along
To another shore
Where we can laugh our lives away
And be free once more
But no one heard them calling
No one came at all
They were too busy watching those old raindrops fall
As a storm was blowing
Out on the peaceful sea
Seventy-three men sailin' off to history

Ride, captain, ride
Upon your mystery ship
Be amazed at the friends
You have here on your trip
Ride, captain, ride
Upon your mystery ship
On your way to a world
That others might have missed

 

[John53]

Oh sailor boy, don't steal my girl from me
I'm so alone, please let her be
Oh sailor boy, my heart's been broke before
Every time you fellas hit the shore

Oh sailor boy, your ship will sail at dawn
Please please, leave my girl alone
Oh sailor boy, don't steal my girl from me
I'm so alone, please let her be

Oh sailor boy, don't steal my girl from me
I'm so alone, please let her be
Oh sailor boy, my heart's been broke before
Every time you fellas hit the shore

Oh sailor boy, your ship will sail at dawn
Please please, leave my girl alone

There's one thing I've learned
And I know it's so true
Bad girls love bad boys but
Good girls love 'em too

I was young and wild, so much to learn
A fierce bright flame and hot to burn
Can't turn back 'cause the die is cast
I die young, from livin' fast

That's why... they call me one of the boys
That's why... they call me one of the boys
That's why... they call me one of the boys

 

[John53]

Gotta find out who's a callin' you
When it ain't me a callin'
Gotta put a stop to your stallin'
Then maybe I can get some sleep.

Gonna engage Dick Tracy
I might retain Perry Mason
To investigate this situation
Then maybe I can get some sleep.

(Gonna have to teach you a lesson
On how to recognize love's blessin'
Till then I'll just have to keep me guessin'
And you'll never ever get no sleep.)

You met her at a party on Saturday night
She was drinkin' advocaat
Her skin was smooth and her jeans were tight
You didn't think she'd go that far
She mighta looked like a princess
But why'd you have to give her your address
Cos you ain't safe when you get home
She's gonna call you on the telephone

Hey boy that's Balwyn callin'
Hey boy that's Balwyn callin'
Hey boy that's Balwyn callin'
Get on the phone and do a bit of stallin'

If you're going to San Francisco
Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair
If you're going to San Francisco
You're gonna meet some gentle people there
For those who come to San Francisco
Summertime will be a love-in there
In the streets of San Francisco
Gentle people with flowers in their hair

When you were eight and you had bad traits
You go to school and learn the golden rule
So why are you acting like a bloody fool?
If you get hot, then you must get cool
Bad boys, bad boys
Whatcha gonna do?
Whatcha gonna do when they come for you?
Bad boys, bad boys
Whatcha gonna do?
Whatcha gonna do when they come for you?

Hey boy that's Balwyn callin'

Get on the phone and do a bit of stallin'

Down on the corner by the traffic light
Everybody's lookin' as she goes by
They turn their heads, and they watch her 'til she's gone
Lord have mercy, baby's got her blue jeans on
Up by the bus stop and across the street
Open up their windows to take a peek
How she goes walking, rockin' like a rollin' stone
Heaven help us, baby's got her blue jeans on
She can't help it if she's made that way
She's not to blame if they look her way
She ain't really tryin' to cause a scene
It just comes naturally
No, the girl can't help it

 

[beenherebeforeagain]

Hey, kid, rock 'n' roll, rock on
Ooh, my soul
Hey kid, boogie, too, did ya?
Hey, shout, summertime blues
Jump up and down in my blue suede shoes
Hey, kid, rock 'n' roll, rock on

And where do we go from here?
Which is a way that's clear?
Still looking for that blue jean baby queen
Prettiest girl I've ever seen
See her shake on the movie screen, Jimmy Dean
Jimmy Dean

Oh.. The principle thinks he's a hero, he thinks he's all man and more
He ain't seen Jimmy Wilson, and he's only in form four
The sign says geography lesson, map of Australia on the wa-all
I only look at Tasmania, the one place I adore.

Ah-hah (ah-hah), ah-hah (ah-hah), ah-hah (ah-hah).

Oh.. We're all going to nude school, a nude school, that's for me-ee
We're all happy at nude school, a nude school is where I'll be.

Ah-hah (ah-hah), ah-hah (ah-hah), ah-hah (ah-hah).

Oh.. Jenny thinks she's Madonna, penthouse changed all that
She ain't that hairy, her legs aren't that fat
And Julie's got a tattoo, she keeps it really well hid
She said she'll show me, I'd die, if she did.

Ah-hah (ah-hah), ah-hah (ah-hah), ah-hah (ah-hah).

Oh.. We're all going to nude school, a nude school, that's for me-ee

We're all happy at nude school, a nude school is where I'll be.

Early in the evenin'
Just about supper time
Over by the courthouse
They're startin' to unwind

Four kids on the corner
Tryin' to bring you up
Willy picks a tune out
And he blows it on the harp

Down on the corner
Out in the street
Willy and the poorboys are playin'
Bring a nickel, tap your feet

Summertime, and the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high
Oh, your daddy's rich and your ma is good-lookin'
So hush little baby, don't you cry
One of these mornings, you're goin' to rise up singin'
And you'll spread your wings and you'll take the sky
But 'til that mornin', there's a-nothin' can harm you
With daddy and mommy standin' by
One of these mornings, you're goin' to rise up singin'
And you'll spread your wings and you'll take the sky
But 'til that mornin', there's a-nothin' can harm you
With daddy and mommy standin' by

Hello, what's again, everyone?
Your action news reporter on the scene at the gas station
There seems to have been some disturbance here
Pardon me, sir, did you see what happened?
Yeah, I did
I's just in here tryin' to get some air in my tires
And he just appeared out of the traffic
Come streakin' around the grease rack there
Didn't have nothin' on but a smile
Ethel was in, gettin' her a cold drink, I hollered, "Don't look, Ethel!"
Too late, she done been mooned
Flashed her right there in front of the shock absorbers
boogity, boogity
(He ain't lewd) boogity, boogity
(He's just in the mood to run in the nude)
Oh yes, they call him the Streak
(Boogity, boogity)
He likes to turn the other cheek
(Boogity, boogity)
He's always makin' the news
Wearin' just his tennis shoes
Guess you could call him unique

Early in the evenin'
Just about supper time
Over by the courthouse
They're startin' to unwind

Four kids on the corner
Tryin' to bring you up
Willy picks a tune out
And he blows it on the harp

Down on the corner
Out in the street
Willy and the poorboys are playin'
Bring a nickel, tap your feet

I always heard that his herb was top shelf
Lord I just could not wait to find out for myself.
Well don't knock it till you've tried it.
And I've tried it my friend.
I'll never smoke Weed with willie again!
… Now we learned a hard lesson in a small Texas town
He fired up a fat boy and he passed it around
The last words I spoke before they tucked me in
I may discount Bungee jump but,
I'll never smoke weed with Willie again.
… I'll never smoke weed with Willie again
My party's all over before it begins
You can't pour me some old whiskey River my friend.
But I'll never smoke weed with Willie again
… We hopped on his old bus the Honeysuckle Rose
The party was Huntsville, but it was after the show
Alone in the front lounge, just me and him
I took one friendly puff and the grim creeper set in
… I'll never smoke weed with Willie again
My party's all over before it begins
You can't pour me some old whiskey River my friend.
But I'll never smoke weed with Willie again
… Now we're passin' the guitar, we're tellin' good jokes
I can tell one's a comin' 'cause I'm smellin' smoke
No I do not partake I just let it pass by
With a grin on my face and a great contact high
… I'll never smoke weed with Willie again
My party's all over before it begins
You can't pour me some old whiskey River my friend.
But I'll never smoke weed with Willie again
… In the fetal position with drool on my chin
We broke down and smoked weed with Willie again

 

[beenherebeforeagain]

Well, I built me a raft and she's ready for floatin'
Ol' Mississippi, she's callin' my name
Catfish are jumpin'
That paddle wheel thumpin'
Black water keeps rollin' on past just the same
Old black water, keep on rollin'
Mississippi moon, won't you keep on shinin' on me
Old black water, keep on rollin'
Mississippi moon, won't you keep on shinin' on me
Old black water, keep on rollin'
Mississippi moon, won't you keep on shinin' on me
Yeah, keep on shinin' your light
Gonna make everything, pretty mama
Gonna make everything all right
And I ain't got no worries
'Cause I ain't in no hurry at all

Well, if it rains, I don't care
Don't make no difference to me
Just take that street car thats goin' up town
Yeah, I'd like to hear some funky Dixieland
And dance a honky tonk
And I'll be buyin' ev'rybody drinks all 'roun'

[England my lionheart]

Early one morning while making the rounds I took a shot of cocaine and I shot my woman down.

Try not to get worried, try not to turn on to
Problems that upset you, oh
Don't you know
Everything's alright, yes, everything's fine
And we want you to sleep well tonight
Let the world turn without you tonight
If we try, we'll get by
So forget all about us tonight

 

[Spice]

Hey, when I walk with you
The ancient streets, the ancient sounds
That we used to know
All around
Our days were long ago
The party's over
The party's over

Say, say, 2000-00, party over
Oops, out of time
So tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999
I was dreaming' when I wrote this
So sue me if I go too fast
Life is just a party
And parties weren't meant to last
War is all around us
My mind says prepare to fight
So if I gotta die
I'm gonna listen to my body tonight, yeah

 

[Spice]

Early one morning while making the rounds I took a shot of cocaine and I shot my woman down.

Every time my baby and me we go uptown
Police come and they knock me down
Cocaine, all around my brain
Hey baby, you better come here quick
This old cocaine's about to make
Cocaine, all around my brain
Yonder come my baby she's dressed in red
She's got a shotgun, says she's gonna kill me dead
Cocaine, all around my brain
Hey baby, you better come here quick
This old cocaine's about to make me sick
Cocaine, all around my brain
You take Sally and I'll take Sue
Ain't no difference between the two
Cocaine, all around my brain
