Scatman John - Shut your mouth and open your mind

Tekst :

I ve been watching your performance since
I was just a boy
You re so diplomatic and you re actin so coy
I see you on the TV at nite when I m in bed
Can a
Blindman understand the color red?

I see you at the podium how gracefuly you sway
You re talking real clear
but are you hearing what you say?
Your lips keep movin talking as you walk
But
Everybody knows you re not walkin what you talk
I see you eating out I don te mean to be rude
but you re so
Busy reading menu s you forgot to order food...
you re so
Living in the image of a long forgotten dream
You re
Acting out the action of a bad movie scene

Your champaign slogan says you want to make a change
You
wanna help the hungry and the mentally deranged
Stop being arrogant come down off you shell
cause you
Can t help no-one if you can t help yourself

Shut your mouth and open your mind
Steppin on your own shoe
Steppin on your own shoe
Shut your mouth and open your mind

Shut your mouth and open your mind
Steppin on your own shoe
Steppin on your own shoe
Shut your mouth and open your mind
I m tellin you

Yeah...woah
I m tellin you
Yeah...woah
I m tellin you
Yeah...woah
I m tellin you
Yeah...woah

You pretend that you listen
you don t hear what we say
You re so far from the truth
you an t see the light of day
You messed up your mind cuz you took the easy road
and acting understanding only made you grow old

I wish that I could tell you
the things I want to say but
first yu gotta chip out the lies in your way
There s too many like you
and no matter what you say
Whoever wrote the lines forgot to throw them away

I d really like to tell what you don t wanna hear
man, everything you re living for
is grounded in fear
As long as you keep talking out the
of your neck you ll
never understand why your life is a wreck

Just listen to this song
it s as close as you get to get to
Any sense of hope you get your soul outta dept
It effectively elaborates
the pattern that you weave
We all see the ace taht you keep up your sleeve

Shut your mouth and open your mind
Easy does it boys
he s just lost and he s blind
Shut your mouth and open your mind
Check it out boys he s just hard to find
shut your mouth and open your mind
Take it easy boys he don t know what he s sayin
Shut you muth and open your mind
Easy does it boys get down

Scatting

.....Yeeeeaaaaaaahhh.....

I m tellin you
Yeah...woah (Steppin n your own shoes)
I m tellin you
Yeah...woah (Steppin on your own shoes)
I m tellin you
Yeah...woah
I m tellin you
Yeah...woah

Shut your mouth and open your mind
Shut your mouth and open your mind
(Ceck it out check it out check it out boys)
I see you at the podium how gracefully you sway
You re
talkin real clear but are you hearin what you say?
Your lips keep movin talkin as you walk
But everybody knows
you re not walkin what you talk

I m tellin you
Yeah...woah
I m tellin you
Yeah...woah
I m tellin you
Yeah...woah
I m tellin you
Yeah...woah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

    The buffalo tapes

    There s a place by the river in the back of my mind
    Daddy you showed me but back then I was blind
    Just give me directions I promise I ll go
    Please let me see cos I m too young to know
    Let me...

    Send me an angel

    Why d you said you wanna be with me?
    You said, you need me
    As long I believed in it, but there is no use

    u throw me out of your live.
    hurts me so deep, i can t going on.
    put the pics...

    Come piace a me

    RIT.
    voglio solo poter vivere
    anche sotto queste nuvole
    un sorriso basta e il sole tornerà
    per il mondo resto spento poi domani si vedrà

    non so se sia il modo migliore o peggiore
    tu la chiami leggerezza pensa io lo chiamo buon...

    To be loved

    Come On.....

    She holds his hand and she knows
    That he will never let it go
    She is his everything
    She strokes his face and she knows
    She ll let the love shes feeling show
    He is her everything

    Live a little learn to love alot
    Give a little give it everything you ve got
    Love to be needed
    Love...
