Track Lyrics
Mama Nature Said Lyrics
[Verse 1]
My mama Nature said
"It's murder what you've done"
I sent you forth my brightest world
Now it's nearly gone
[Verse 2]
Birds and bees been telling me
You can't see the forest for the trees
You cover up your lies with sympathies
And I got no solutions to your persecution
[Chorus 1]
Mama Nature said
"Can't believe it's true"
Ooh, I gave you life and food for thought
Look what did you do
[Verse 3]
You're killing my rivers
Drowning my baby streams
Day by day by day by day by day, I hear them screams
I'm so disillusioned, so disillusioned
[Chorus 2]
Mama Nature said
"You're guilty of this crime"
Now it's not just a matter of fact
But just a matter of time
Cruel will be the vengeance
So savage is the deed that's done
And I've got no solutions
To your own pollu-lu-lu-lution
[Outro]
Oh, you're so filthy
Deep down you're dirty too
Go get her, boy!
The Hero and the Madman Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The hero rode a white horse
Across the desert to where his woman was
He'd been riding for four days
When he saw the tower where she was locked
In the moonlight he left his old steed
Near the drawbridge that he crossed
And by way of a rope ladder
He tippy-toed to where his woman was
[Pre-Chorus 1]
If I recall you're the actor who followed the stars
Searching for the lost city of Mars
Hoping time could heal the scars
Knowing fate held no bars
Those that knew you always said you'd go far
Are you the one who I think you are?
[Chorus]
Oh, are you the hero?
Oh, are you the madman?
Oh, are you the hero?
Oh, are you the madman?
[Verse 2]
The madman climbed the steeple spire
"Go higher, go higher" said the crowd from down below
"But the world's on fire," said the madman from the steeple spire
"You're a liar, you're a liar," said the crowd from down below
So the madman climbed the steeple spire
And let a crystal ball tear fall on the crowd down below
[Pre-Chorus 2]
If I recall you're the actor who took to the stage
Set the world ablaze with your anger and your rage
And with every new leaf you turned and wrote a new page
Cleverly concealing your real age
Those that knew you were always quite amazed
Are you the one that can take this praise?
[Chorus]
Oh, are you the hero?
Oh, are you the madman?
Oh, are you the hero?
Oh, are you the madman?
[Outro]
"You're the only one that can save us", cried the wizard
"Or all is lost"
Little Girl in Bloom Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Little girl in bloom, with happy heart you wipe aside
Any sadness, sorrow or gloom
Tomorrow you'll be a blushing bride
That loves her blushing groom
[Verse 2]
Little girl in bloom, you watch the men play cricket
From the window in your room
See the ball go from bat to wicket
Pass away the afternoon
[Verse 3]
Little girl in bloom carries a secret
The child she carries in her womb
She feels something sacred
She's gonna be a mammy soon
[Chorus]
When your daddy comes home
Don't tell him till alone
When your daddy comes back
Go tell him the facts
Just relax and see how he's gonna react
[Verse 4]
Little girl in bloom, all the clouds will go drifting by
So sing your lullabying tune
And every word is in your eyes
As you sit and softly croon
[Verse 5]
Little girl in bloom, your love it fills the air
With the scent of the sweetest, sweet perfume
You feel so good you just don't care
[Verse 3]
Little girl in bloom carries a secret
The child she carries in her womb
She feels something sacred
She's gonna be a mammy soon
[Chorus]
When your daddy comes home
Don't tell him till alone
When your daddy comes back
Go tell him the facts
Just relax and see how he's gonna react
Gonna Creep Up on You Lyrics
[Chorus]
I'm gonna creep up on you
I'm gonna creep up on you
I'm gonna creep up on you
I'm gonna gonna
[Verse 1]
The writing on the wall showed the scandal
Pointed out the victim of the vandal
The lady was upset by the angle
Scratch your back and hot to handle
[Chorus]
I'm gonna creep up on you
I'm gonna creep up on you
I'm gonna creep up on you
I'm gonna gonna
[Verse 2]
You're sly, you're slick, you're sleek, you're outstanding
My legs are weak, my heart, it beats, it's pounding
Soon you're gonna weep in your sleepless surrounding
'Cause I'm the one taking you down for grounding
[Chorus]
I'm gonna creep up on you
I'm gonna creep up on you
I'm gonna creep up on you
I'm gonna gonna
[Outro]
Little lady let me take a little bit of your love
Little lady let me take a little bit of your love
Little lady I'm gonna take a little bit of your love
