Stutter rap [Moris Minor & The Majors]

Bedtime, boys
Ohh, mum!

Now hey there people, won't you lend an ear
Cause I've a story to tell and I'm telling it here
I was born in a town in the great UK
From a baby, to a boy, to a man today
And I'm a musical man, and I'm a man out first
But I've got a little problem and it's getting worse
M-my life was so well planned
???S-s?? and ??j-j??ing in the f-f-full band
Cause rapping is my bread and butter
But it's hard to rap when you're born with a s-s-s-st-st-s-s-s-s-stutter

Well, no-one's ever seen what I mean
From the age of n-n-n-n-n-n thirteen
We've all been caught in a m-m-mouth trap
So join with us in the S-s-s-stu-stu-stu-stu-stutter Rap

Well, it was '82 when I joined the boys
And I was hip, and I was cool, and now I've lost my voice
The kids, our fans, are starting to doubt
When you open your mouth and nothing comes out
-
And it breaks my heart the way I'm not on the chart
Cause the records nearly over when the vocals start
And I'm down and out, and I'm down on my luck
And I'm living on my own, and I'm dying for a f-f...
..friend to say "You're great", but I'm under the hammer
Cause all I seem to do is s-ssss-ss-s-sstu-(Come on, man)-sss-sss-s-s-s-s-s-Stammer

Well, no-one's ever seen what I mean
From the age of n-n-n-n-n-n thirteen
We've all been caught in a m-m-mouth trap
So join with us in the S-s-s-stu-stu-stu-stu-stutter Rap

[Neighbours]
Well, interviewers turn away
Who wants to be covered with spray
Talking to me for more than an hour
Is equivalent to an April shower
And it's tough. Tough. Tougher than tough
It's worse than Benny Hill, and that's bad enough
Something must be wrong with your vocal technique
When the twelve inch mix goes on for a week
I was rapping in a club the other night
When nothing I said was coming out right
The crowd got angry, and this one man
He was gonna throw a bottle. He was gonna chuck a can
Chaka Khan. Chaka. Chaka. Chaka. Chaka

Well, no-one's ever seen what I mean
From the age of n-n-n-n-n-n thirteen
We've all been caught in a m-m-mouth trap
So join with us in the S-s-s-stu-stu-stu-stu-stutter Rap

N-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-no need for shouting
W-w-w-why's that then?
W-well, you'll wake Mr. Whitaker at number 32
Besides, it's not very good for the voice
[Guitar Playing]
[Gun Shot] [Urgh!]
Bit harsh isn't it?

No sleep 'till bedtime
Talking of which, it's 10:30 already
Is it? Ooh!
What time do they stay up 'till in America?
Oh very late. Sometimes quarter to eleven!
Well actually, I've heard in New York they sometimes even stay up 'till midnight
No!!!
No wonder they do all that shouting
Yes, they must be very snappy and irritable
That's right
Do you know, I heard a story that those toasty boys stayed up 'till quarter past twelve
Really? Well, that's silly.
They're just gonna get burnt out
Burnt out

...the age of n-n-n-n-n-n thirteen
We've all been caught in a m-m-mouth trap

I'm not scared [Eighth Wonder]

Take these dogs away from me

Your life's a mystery, mine is an open book
If I could read your mind, I think I'd take a look
I'm not scared
Baby, I don't care

What have you got to hide? What do you need to prove?
You're always telling lies, and that's the only truth
I don't care
Baby, I'm not scared

Tonight the streets are full of actors
I don't know why
Oh, take these dogs away from me
Before they, they bite

What have you got to say of shadows in the past?
I thought that, if you paid, you'd keep them off our backs
Where do we have to be, so I can laugh and you'll be free?
I'd go anywhere
Baby, I don't care
I'm not scared

I'm not scared

Tonight the streets are full of actors
I don't know why
Oh, debarasse-moi de ces chiens
Avant qu'ils mordent. Avant qu'ils mordent
Tonight I fought and made my mind up, I know it's right
I know these dogs still snap around me, but I can, I can fight

If I was you, if I was you
I wouldn't treat me the way you do
If I was you, if I was you
I wouldn't treat me the way you do - you

If I was you, if I was you
I wouldn't treat me the way you do
If I was you, if I was you
I wouldn't treat me the way you do - you

I'm not scared
Baby, I don't care
I'd go anywhere
Baby, I'm not scared
J'ai pas peur
J'ai pas peur
I'm not scared

Left to my own devices [Pet Shop Boys]

I get out of bed at half past ten
Phone up a friend, who's a party animal
Turn on the news and drink some tea
Maybe if you're with me we'll do some shopping

One day I'll read, or learn to drive a car
If you pass the test, you can beat the rest
But I don't like to compete, or talk street, street, street
I can pick up the best from the party animal

I could leave you, say goodbye
Or I could love you, if I try
And I could
And left to my own devices, I probably would

Pick up a brochure about the sun
Learn to ignore what the photographer saw
I was always told that you should join a club
Stick with the gang, if you want to belong

I was a lonely boy, no strength, no joy
In a world of my own at the back of the garden
I didn't want to compete, or play out on the street
For in a secret life I was a round head general

I could leave you, say goodbye
Or I could love you, if I try
And I could
And left to my own devices, I probably would

Left to my own devices, I probably would
Oh, I would

I was faced with a choice at a difficult age
Would I write a book? Or should I take to the stage?
But in the back of my head I heard distant feet
Che Guevara and Debussy to a disco beat

It's not a crime when you look the way you do
The way I like to picture you
When I get home, it's late at night
I pour a drink and watch the fight

Turn off the TV, look at a book
Pick up the phone, fix some food
Maybe I'll sit up all night and day
Waiting for the minute I hear you say

I could leave you, say goodbye
Or I could love you, if I try
And I could
And left to my own devices, I probably would

Come on, baby, say goodbye
Or I could love you, if I try
And I could
And left to my own devices, I probably would

Left to my own devices, I probably would
(Come on baby)
Left to my own devices, I probably would

Rush hour [Jane Wiedlin]

Something's coming over me
I'm so dizzy I can't see
Can't make out the forest for the trees

My heart is beating faster now
As the traffic's slowing down
Suddenly I'm all alone with you

It's so good
Baby, when you're at the wheel
I can't believe the way I feel
It's such a rush just being with you
We're driving in the rush hour
(ooh you send me)
You take me to the rush hour
(ooh you send me)
You got me in the rush hour

Feel it getting hot in here
Feel me getting close to you dear
Slow motion, moving you, moving me

Now your lips are touching mine
And in your eyes that certain shine
Honey, I know just where you're taking me

It's so good
Baby, when you're at the wheel
I can't believe the way I feel
It's such a rush just being with you
We're driving in the rush hour
(ooh you send me)
You take me to the rush hour
(ooh you send me)
You got me in the rush hour

Oh, it's so good
Baby, when you're at the wheel
I can't believe the way I feel
It's such a rush just being with you
We're driving in the rush hour
(ooh you send me)
You take me to the rush hour
(ooh you send me)
You got me in the rush hour

(ooh you send me)
(ooh you send me)
You got me in the rush hour
(ooh you send me)
We're driving in the rush hour
(ooh you send me)
You got me...
(ooh you send me)
We're driving in the rush hour
(ooh you send me)
(ooh you send me)

I don't want a lover [Texas]

I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
I don't want a lover
I just need a friend

You can't just leave me
To face life on my own
I know you don't love me no more
I knew this day, it would come

Even when it hurts so deep
It's true I still want you
But the harder I try
The more I seem to lose

I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
I've had time to recover
Now that I know it wasn't love

You say it's a different story
When it's me who's in the wrong
But you can't laugh at all
Cause I'm the one who's strong

I've already been hurt before
Once, but never again
I know the time will come
That's when you'll need me there

I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
I've had time to recover
Now that I know it wasn't love

I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
I know you never cared
Now that I know it wasn't love

You don't even care, with what I'm saying
You don't even think what you're doing
All you see is what you want it to be
But in the end there's just no room for me left

I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
I've had time to recover
Now that I know it wasn't love

You don't even care, with what I'm saying
You don't even think what you're doing
All you see is what you want it to be
There's just no room left for me

I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
I've had time to recover
Now that I know it wasn't love

I don't want a lover (Now that I know)
I just need a friend (Now thst I know)
I've had time to recover (It wasn't love, no)
Now that I know it wasn't love (It wasn't love)....

Straight up [Paula Abdul]

Lost in a dream
I don't know which way to go
(Oh let me say that)
If you are all that you seem
Then baby I'm movin' (movin') way too slow

I've been a fool before
Wouldn't like to get my love caught
In the slammin' door
How about some information, please

Straight up now tell me
Do you really want to love me forever (oh oh oh)
Or am I caught in a hit and run
Straight up now tell me
Is it gonna be you and me together (oh oh oh)
Or are you just having fun

Time's standing still
I waiting for some (I wait for some) small clue
(Oh let me tell you know)
I keep getting chills
When I think your love (when I think your love) is true

I've been a fool before
Wouldn't like to get my love caught
In the slammin' door
How about some information, please

Straight up now tell me
Do you really want to love me forever (oh oh oh)
Or am I caught in a hit and run
Straight up now tell me
Is it gonna be you and me together (oh oh oh)
Or are you just having fun

You are so hard to read
You play hide and seek
With your true intentions
If you're only playing games
I'll just have to say a-b-b-b-bye b-b-b-b-bye

Do do you love me (Do do you love me baby)
Do do you love me (Do do you love me. Hey baby)
Do do you love me (Do do you love me baby)
Come on now
Do do you love me (Do do you love me)
Tell me baby

I've been a fool before
Wouldn't like to get my love caught
In the slammin' door
Are you more than hot for me
Or am I a page in your history book
I don't mean to make demands
But the word and the deed go hand in hand
How about some information, please, please, please, please

Straight up now tell me (tell me)
Straight up now tell me (tell me)
Straight up now tell me (tell me)
Straight up now tell me (tell me)
Straight up now tell me (tell me)

Do you really want to love me forever (oh oh oh)
Or am I caught in a hit and run
Straight up now tell me
Is it gonna be you and me together oh oh oh
Are you just having fun.....

Self [Fuzzbox]

You didn't write, you didn't telephone
You didn't call, you left me on my own
You don't think about anyone but yourself
Do you think your problems fade if you get stoned?

Self, self, self, self
Always you, nothing new
What the hell do you expect me to be?
Self, self, self, self
You don't see things like I do

You've left me empty, you've left me numb inside
Just because I love you doesn't mean you can take me for a ride
I'm sick of you giving me all the cues
I've tried to forget you but I can't
Although I've tried. And tried, and tried

Self, self, self, self
Always you, nothing new
What the hell do you expect me to be?
Self, self, self, self
I can't forget you, though I've tried

You didn't write, you didn't telephone
You didn't call, you left me on my own

Oooh, hiding away
Oooh, hiding away
Oooh, hiding away
Oooh, hiding

You've left me empty, you've left me numb inside
Just because I love you doesn't mean you can take me for a ride
I'm sick of you giving me all the cues
I've tried to forget you but I can't
Although I've tried. And tried, and tried

Self, self, self, self
