My Mama talked-a to me, tried to tell me how to live. But I don’t listen to her cause my head’s like a sieve. My Daddy, he disowned me cause I wear my sister’s clothes. He caught me in the bathroom with a pair of panty hose. The basketball coach, he done kicked me off the team, For wearing high-heel sneakers and acting like a queen. The world’s coming to an end- I don’t even care, As long as I can have a limo and my orange hair. And it don’t bother me if people think I’m funny, Cause I’m a big rock star and I’m making lots of money money money MONEY! HAHAHAHAHAHA! I’m so bloody rich! I own apartment buildings and shoppiong centers! HAHA! I only know 3 chords! Watch me burn, you fools! ---

Poverty stricken but still I’m a-stickin’ to the things I know to be facts One day it’s feathers and the next day chicken while I’m pickin’ my yakety axe Ev’rybody says that I never will get far, keepin’ out of work by pickin’ this guitar Livin’ on a shoe-string, puttin’ off things like a shave and a hair cut ---

Hand me the wine and the dice, I want my carnival now, While I have thirst and lust for living! So gather all you can reap, Before you’re under the plough – The hand of death is unforgiving! Hand me the wine and the dice, While there are grapes on the vine – Life is a round of endless pleasures! The end is always in sight, But it tastes better with wind – Why pay your life in tiny measures? Hand me the wine and the dice, The time is racing away – There’s not a taste that’s not worth trying! And if tommorow it ends, I won’t have wasted today – I will have lived like I am dying. ---

I shall marry the miller’s son, Pin my hat on a nice piece of property. Friday nights, for a bit of fun, We’ll go dancing. Meanwhile… It’s a wink and a wiggle and a giggle in the grass And I’ll trip the light fandango, A pinch and a diddle in the middle of what passes by. It’s a very short road From the pinch and the punch To the paunch and the pouch And the pension. It’s a very short road To the ten thousandth lunch And the belch and the grouch And the sigh. In the meanwhile, There are mouths to be kissed Before mouths to be fed, And a lot in between In the meanwhile. And a girl ought to celebrate what passes by. ---

[**Mother**](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QK0GgLKUU_I&sns=sms), mother how’s the family? I’m just calling to say hello. How’s the weather? How’s my father? Am I lonely? Heavens no. Mother, mother are you listening? Just a phone call to ease your mind. Life is perfect, never better. Distance making the heart grow fond. When you sent me off to see the world, Were you scared that I might get hurt? Would I try a little tobacco? Would I keep on hiking up my skirt? I’m hungry, I’m dirty, I’m losing my mind. Everything’s fine! ---

Mother has remained Behind me as I write A second ago She gently touched my shoulder As she moved away I took this, a silent approval Of what I’ve written She’s now sitting in her chair With an open book in her lap But I know she’s not seeing the words Her thoughts, her thoughts Are far away somewhere with you It’s very quiet here, too quiet I walked into your room last night And the walls seemed to be asking For the sound of your voice As much as I am aching For the feel of your embrace So please come back to us We love you, call collect ---

I’m sittin’ in the railway station Got a ticket for my destination On a tour of one night stands My suitcase and guitar in hand And every stop is neatly planned For a poet and a one man band Homeward bound I wish I was Homeward bound Home, where my thought’s escaping Home, where my music’s playing Home, where my love lies waiting Silently for me Everyday’s an endless stream Of cigarettes and magazines And each town looks the same to me The movies and the factories And every stranger’s face I see Reminds me that I long to be… ---

Our country reeks of trees Our yaks are really large And they smell like rotting beef carcasses And we have to clean up after them And our saddle sores are the best We proudly wear womens clothing And searing sand blows up our skirts And the buzzards, they soar overhead And poisonous snakes will devour us whole Our bones will bleach in the sun And we will probably go to (censored) And that is our great reward For being the Ro-oy-oy-al Canadian Kilted YAKSMEN! ---

Baby smiled like a tiny child She talks her head off, and the land lies wild Tossed and turned on a teardrop sea And all the dark clowns who are following me And they fly, she pointed up into the sky And you can’t touch them if you try And they fly Baby left as she lost her breath Hastens off to some unknown death Trapped inside her painted eyes Takes herself into a new sunrise ---

The feeling’s everywhere We’ve been closin’ our eyes, day after day Covered in clouds, losin’ our way Hey, but it’s daybreak If you wanna believe, it can be daybreak Ain’t no time to grieve Said it’s daybreak, if you’ll only believe And let it shine, shine, shine All around the world (gotta sing, sing it to the world) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/game-speak-to-me-only-in-song-lyrics/658502.md?page=76) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/game-speak-to-me-only-in-song-lyrics/658502.md?page=78)
