Scatman John - Hey you

Tekst :

Here it is.
Here it is.

Make a turn around,
Make a U-turn now.

(Scatting by Scatman John)

Hey you!
If anybody s home, I m trying to get through
with a story for you.
There s a monster out there and it really
doesn t care what you say what you do
if you re young or you re grey.

Hey you!
You can take it from me.
I was talking that talk til I was 43.
I was walking in a web that was to thick
to shed, and it was only by degrees that I
was brought to my knees.

Justification was my mode of operation,
looking good number one on my list.
Trapped in a circle of a merry-go-round,
I couldn t get up getting down.

The things that I was doing was all I ever known,
I didn t know that I was driven by delusion to the
bone.

You want to hear the greatest story ever told?
There ain t a greater feeling than the healing
of your soul.

Baby, I m not here to sell you but you need someone
to tell you like it is.
Like it is.
Like it is.

I don t wanna be a preacher
But you really need a teacher, here it is.
Here it is.
Here it is.

(Scatting by Scatman John)

Hey You!
Don t beat yourself up, be gentle with yourself
cause there ain t nobody else, and it isn t
your fault and I know it seems bleak,
and you re only in this u-turn til you meet defeat.

Hey You!
You can take it from me, there s more going down
than you and I can ever see.
There s a tale being told and the water s all
around, there s a brand new day. Get the heck out of
your way.

I never let you tell me that I wanted to hear,
When you said it like it was, it never got to
my ears.
My behavior underneath was completely insane.
Kept playing those games with a saturated brain.

I never thought I had to go as far as I did,
I had to leave home and abandon a kid.

You want to hear the greatest story ever told?
There ain t a greater feeling than the healing
of your soul.

Baby, I m not here to sell you but you need someone
to tell you like it is.
Like it is.
Like it is.

I don t wanna be a preacher
But you really need a teacher, here it is.
Here it is.
Here it is.

Make a turn around, make a u-turn now.

(Scatting by Scatman John)

Baby, I m not here to sell you but you need someone
to tell you like it is.

Make a U-turn, make about face, make a turn around,
make a turn around, make a u-turn now.

I don t wanna be a preacher
But you really need a teacher, here it is.
Here it is.
Here it is.

Make a turn around, make a u-turn now.

Scatman John - Quiet desperation

Tekst :

Sittin on a milk crate morning noon and night
Fantasizing the American dream
You re lookin pretty good and you ve got yourself
Convinced that the nightmare ain t as bad as it seems
You try your best to hide yourself
Beneath a turned up collar and a plastic bag
Is all you got to show
And your books inside your shopping cart
Is probably the best education that you ve ever gonna know
The guy in the Mercedes just hollared with a dollar
Better grab it cause the signal s turning green
And while you re at it put the jug behind the picket fence
Because the cop that just went by sho looking mean
Institution, contribution, restitution, destitution
Doesn t mean a thing to you now
You re the freeway feature film your audience is driving by
So maybe you should stand and take a bow

(chorus)
You re living in desperation
And you never have felt complete
You live in antecipation of another day on the street
Sing with me

You re sitting in that same spot you want to go home
But there ain t no home but home on the range
You ve forgotten what you look like
And it looks like you ve forgotten that
The look inside your eyes is very strange
Ain t nothing left to hide
You re stripped of all your pride
And all you feel inside is a hole a mile wide
You re the freeway desperado and a perfect living model
Of a land that hasn t any good excuse

(repeat chorus)

You re sitting on your milk crate
With your blanket wrapped around you
And I see you sittin day after day
I d really like to talk but I know if I approached
You d probably get up and walk away
You wishing that your home of the American dream
Wasn t only smog and exhaust
I love you desperado and all I ve got to say is
You let me know how much I m really lost

(repeat chorus)

Scatman John - Let it go

Tekst :

I ve got to tell you
I want to tell you
I ve got to tell you
(Scatting)
I want to tell you that you got to let it go
(Scatting)
I ve got to tell you that it s time to let you know
I want to tell you that you ve got to let it go
I ve got to tll you that it s time to let you know
I want to tell you that you ve got to let it go
I m believin too much in all the stuff in my head
It s a hassle every morning to get up out of bed
I m holding on to secrets that are too hard to see
I m thinking everybody is a better than me
I try to keep doing what I think I gotta do
If I macke a mistake you re gonna think I m a fool
I m always back again to the point where I began
I m afraid I need help... don t offer your hand
I know you know they know we know
I don t know nothing bur I gotta keep bluffing
I m thinking they re thinking you re thinking I ll drink
Feelin so confused that I think I wanna sink
So hard to talk when you re walking in shock
It s so hard to see when you re pretending you re free
Don t know how to give and I ve had all I can take
Everybody s to blame when you can t play the game
(Scatting)
I ve got to tell you that it s time to let you know
I want to tell you that you ve got to let it go
I ve got to tell you that it s time to let you know
I want to tell you that you ve got to let it go
I been namin and a gamin and a framin and a blamin
It s a pattern I ve been weavin for a long long time
It s hard to begin but surrender means win
And it certainly is better than losing your mind
I know you been thinkin I been talkin bout me
I made it that way full on purpose you see
Scatman s really only tryin to get through to
Help you discover that he s been talkin bout you
The things that hold me back are right here in my head
The saboteur can t endure he has to go to bed
I want to live life in spite of what I think
I think that my opinion should be thrown in the sink
I want to do better but I don t know how
But if I m gonna start I better start right know
I try to survive and I gotta let you know
If I m gonna live at all I gotta gotta let it go
If I m gonna live at all I gotta gotta let it go
(Scatting)
I ve got to tell you that it s time to let you know
I want to tell you that you ve got to let it go
I ve got to tell you that it s time to let you know
I want to tell you that you ve got to
Let it gooooooooooo I ve got to tell you
Oooooooooooo I want to tell you
Let it gooooooooooo I ve got to tell you
Ooooooooooooooo I wan to tell you that you ve
Got to let it go
(Scatting)
I ve got to tell you
I want to tell you
(Scatting)
I ve got to tell you
(Scatting)
I want to tell you
If I m gonna live at all I gotta gotta let it go

Inne utwory

Losowe utwory

Pretend

I believed in once upon a times
Happy ever after fairy tales
I believed a love I thought was mine
Never thought this heart could be so frail
All the shades you are have been shown
When somebody sees them, you will be alone

Kolorowy telewizor

Kolorowy seks,
Kolorowych ciał.
Kolorowa mgła.
Kolorowy sen.
Kolorowa noc.
W kolorowych drzwiach,
staje on.
Kolorowa złość
Kolorowy strach
Kolorowy strzał,
albo dwa.
Kolorowy cień
Kolorowych serc.
Kolorowych walk,
głupi żart.

Kolorowy telewizor mam.

Kolorowy Ring
Kolorowa pięść.
Kolorowe łzy.
Kolorowy szał,
kolorowych małp.
Kolorowy pies,
daje w kość.

Kolorowy telewizor mam.

Kolorowy tłum,
kolorowych flag.
Kolorowa twarz,
znana twarz.

Kolorowy las,
kolorowych rąk.
Kolorowa dłoń,
mocna dłoń.

Kolorowy telewizor mam.

Kolorowy tan,
kolorowych rzek.
Kolorowy pysk,
w cierniach gęb.
Kolorowy start.
Kolorowy cel.
Kolorowy błysk
Wielki błysk.

Muszę siedzieć tak...

Fly away

Our love s in motion
Give me a notion cause
You know we ll never part
Our love goodbye

I love in season
Give me a reason cause
You know we ll never part
Our love goodbye

And...

Before

Oooh... Before... before you walked out the door...

Chorus I:
Before we were lovers, before we were friends
Before the party ended, before the end began

Yeah c mon
Lookin out of my window
I see you walking out of my...

This is redemption, this is our lives washed clean

Woah, I don t know, how you can forgive me [x4]

This is redemption
This is our lives washed clean

Cover up
All that we ve become
Don t let the world
Take the best of you

And I can see a clearing
This will all come to an end
And we ll meet face to face
It will all...
