LORETTA LYNN AND CONWAY TWITTY
„You’re The Reason Our Kids Are Ugly“

You’re the reason I’m a-ridin‘ ‚round on recapped tyres.
An‘ you’re the reason I’m hangin‘ our clothes outside on walls.
An‘ you’re the reason our kids are ugly little darlins‘.
Ah but looks ain’t everything,
And money ain’t everything.
But‘ I love you just the same.

You’re the reason I changed to beer from soda pop.
An‘ you’re the reason I never get to go to the beauty shop.
You’re the reason our kids are ugly little darlins‘.
Oh, but looks ain’t everything,
And money ain’t everything.
But‘ I love you just the same.

I guess that we won’t ever have, everything we need.
‚Cause when we get ahead, it’s got another mouth to feed.

And that’s the reason my good looks and my figure’s gone.
And that’s the reason I ain’t got no hair to comb.
An‘ you’re the reason our kids are ugly little darlins‘.
Ah but looks ain’t everything,
And money ain’t everything.
But‘ I love you just the same.

Conway, why in the devil don’t you gon and shave an‘ put on a clean pair of pants?

Loretta, look at yourself.
I wish you’d take them curlers out of your hair an‘ go put on a little bit of make up.
An‘ get out of the housecoat before supper.

Ha! Well let me tell you somethin‘, Conway.
Considerin‘ everything I went through today, I look like a movie star.

Yeah, Ruth Cassidy!

Thank you.

Besides that, all of our kids took after your part of our family anyway.

Oh they did, huh? What about the one’s that’s bald?

Well, I guess you might say they took after me.

Spinning Wheel

Spinning Wheel

from Blood, Sweat & Tears

„Spinning Wheel“ is track #4 on the album Blood, Sweat & Tears. It was written by Clayton-thomas, David.

 

What goes up must come down
Spinnin‘ wheel, got to go round
Talkin‘ ‚bout your troubles, it’s a cryin‘ sin
Ride a painted pony, let the spinnin‘ wheel spin

You got no money, you got no home
Spinnin‘ wheel, all alone
Talkin‘ ‚bout your troubles and you, you never learn
Ride a painted pony, let the spinnin‘ wheel turn

Did you find the directing sign
On the straight and narrow highway
Would you mind a reflecting sign
Just let it shine within your mind
And show you the colors that are real

Someone’s waitin‘ just for you
Spinnin‘ wheel, spinnin‘ true
Drop all your troubles by the riverside
Catch a painted pony on the spinnin‘ wheel ride

Someone’s waitin‘ just for you
Spinnin‘ wheel, spinnin‘ true
Drop all your troubles by the riverside
Ride a painted pony, let the spinnin‘ wheel fly

That wasn’t so good

Ghost Town – The Specials

 

This town, is coming like a ghost town
All the clubs have been closed down
This place, is coming like a ghost town
Bands won’t play no more
too much fighting on the dance floor

Do you remember the good old days
Before the ghost town?
We danced and sang,
And the music played inna de boomtown

This town, is coming like a ghost town
Why must the youth fight against themselves?
Government leaving the youth on the shelf
This place, is coming like a ghost town
No job to be found in this country
Can’t go on no more
The people getting angry

This town, is coming like a ghost town
This town, is coming like a ghost town
This town, is coming like a ghost town
This town, is coming like a ghost town
