Whistle Down The Wind movie - I never get what I pray for. lyrics
rate me<br>
<br>
[Swallow]<br>
I wanna be baptised and I wanna be saved<br>
I wanna see my saviour face to face<br>
I wanna feel the rapture, feel the fire<br>
I wanna be taken someplace higher<br>
But I never get taken to someplace higher<br>
<br>
[Brat]<br>
Swallow!<br>
<br>
[Swallow]<br>
Well I don't ! <br>
I never get what I pray for<br>
I can pray for less or a whole lot more<br>
<br>
[Swallow, Poor Baby & Brat]<br>
It don't ever matter, it's a sure bet<br>
That I never get what I pray for<br>
<br>
[Swallow]<br>
An end to the horrors of the atom bomb<br>
<br>
[Brat]<br>
And a dance with Ricky Nelson at the homecoming prom<br>
I wanna be beautiful, sexy and smart<br>
<br>
[Poor Baby]<br>
I wanna sister that don't hiccup<br>
<br>
[Brat]<br>
I want a brother that don't fart<br>
<br>
[Poor Baby]<br>
I wanna move like Elvis in every way<br>
<br>
[Brat]<br>
I wanna look like Sandra Dee or maybe Doris Day<br>
<br>
[Swallow]<br>
They should send us down some angels<br>
We could never have enough<br>
<br>
[Brat]<br>
They should send us down some money<br>
<br>
[Swallow, Poor Baby & Brat]<br>
So we can buy each other stuff.<br>
I never get what I pray for<br>
I can pray for less or a whole lot more<br>
It don't ever matter, it's a sure bet<br>
That I never get what I pray for<br>
<br>
[Brat]<br>
We should all be praying for dad<br>
It's scary how he's been<br>
<br>
[Poor Baby]<br>
He was crying in the trailer<br>
<br>
[Brat]<br>
No way I was going in<br>
<br>
[Poor Baby]<br>
I want a football<br>
<br>
[Brat]<br>
and some Lipstick<br>
<br>
[Poor Baby]<br>
And some Liquorice<br>
<br>
[Brat]<br>
and a kite<br>
<br>
[Swallow]<br>
And I just want our mother back, If only for one night <br>
There are things she's gotta tell me<br>
There are things she's gotta know<br>
God had no right to take her, She had no right to go<br>
There are things I didn't tell her<br>
And so much I had to say<br>
So I just want my mother back<br>
If only for one day<br>
<br>
<br>
The children who have been happily singing of what they pray for suddenly <br>
realise that it is getting dark. There father will be worried and they are <br>
late getting home. On the way they see Earl (a coloured man who I presume <br>
works for their father) carrying a sack. The sack contains some kittens and <br>
Earl says that he is going to send them back to Jesus.<br>
He throws the sack into the sewer and goes on his way. Swallow climbs into <br>
the sewer and retrieves the sack, saving the kittens.<br>
Together they rush home to the trailer singing Home By Now...<br>
<br>
