Madness - Mr Speaker Gets The Word lyrics

rate me

Wriggles from his captor's arms

Mr speaker gets the word and

Running now from the alarms

Speaks his mind free as a bird

Free now to roam around

Stand up straight when he quotes

Spread the word that he has found

Books of verse and scribbled notes

Mister speaker gets the word

(To tell the secrets he has heard)

Speaks so fast his words are slurred

(Mister speaker gets the word)

Stands up straight outside my door

I bring you now the words I've learned

To whom it may concern senor

Tell my friends I have returned

Mister speaker gets the word

(To tell the secrets he has heard)

Speaks so fast his words are slurred

(Mister speaker gets the word)

Excitement rages through his brain

Stirred and stirred throughout the years

Not enough time to explain

Eyes of many sighs of fear

Making space from Colney Hatch Lane

Just some poetry my friend

Scuttles past my window frame

Vanishes right round the bend

Mister speaker gets the word

(To tell the secrets he has heard)

Speaks so fast his words are slurred

(Mister speaker gets the word)
