Sometimes I Feel Like Screaming / Vavoom: Ted the Mechanic

While you were out The message says You left a number And I tried to call But they wrote it down In a perfect Spanish scrawl In a perfect Spanish scrawl Yet again I'm missing you King size bed (in a) hotel someplace I hear your name I see your face I see your face (The) back street dolls And the side door johnnies The wide eyed boys with their bags full of money Back in the alley Going bang to the wall Tied to the tail Of a midnight crawl Heaven wouldn't be So high I know If the times gone by Hadn't been so low The best laid plans Come apart at the seams And shatter all my dreams Sometimes I feel like screaming Close my eyes It's times like this My head goes down And the only thing I know Is the name of this town Is the name of this town Yet again I'm missing you Won't be long I'm coming home Until that distant time I'll be moving on I'll be moving on (The) back street dolls And the side door johnnies The wide eyed boys with their bags full of money Back in the alley Going bang to the wall Tied to the tail Of a midnight crawl Heaven wouldn't be So high I know If the times gone by Hadn't been so low The best laid plans Come apart at the seams And shatter my dreams It's all in the mind Ooh yeah, it's all in the mind It's all in the mind It's all in the mind (The) back street dolls And the side door johnnies The wide eyed boys with their bags full of money Back in the alley Going bang to the wall Tied to the tail Of a midnight crawl Heaven wouldn't be So high I know If the times gone by Hadn't been so low The best laid plans Come apart at the seams And shatter my dreams

Playing pool and drinking beer Nothin more'n the occasional tear But this man's life goes on and he gets greased all over from time to time At the strip joint, where we met He said 'Hi, my name is Ted See that one over there That ball of thunder Every time she goes Vavoom, I wiggle in my chair Can I buy you a beer? What a guy 'I've had a few myself' he said 'But I never quit when I'm ahead Too many rules and regulations Stupid laws designed by fools behind closed doors And another thing I won't discuss is religion It always causes a fight Vavoom There she goes again 'How does she do that' said Ted And he told me of those unjustices (that) He had suffered in his life His wife and kids and boss and dogs and neighbours Raising cain and causing strife They were forever whining Bleating howling yapping screeching moaning crying Vavoom He fed them well He keep them warm Thing about Ted he didn't really care Nothing much got in his hair and the beauty of it was that he was right He was big as a truck and fast as a door (what's that?) he was always right The banjo player took a hike What's that song I used to like Vavoom He was big as a truck Fast as a door - Ted Ted the man our Ted

While you were out... the message says You left a number and I tried to call But they wrote it down in a perfect Spanish scrawl in a perfect Spanish scrawl Yet again I'm missing you King size bed (in a) hotel someplace I hear your name I see your face I see your face (The) back street dolls and the side door johnnies The wide eyed boys with their bags full of money Back in the alley going bang to the wall Tied to the tail of a midnight crawl Heaven wouldn't be so high I know if the times gone by hadn't been so low The best laid plans come apart at the seams and shatter all my dreams Sometimes I feel like... Screaming close my eyes It's times like this my head goes down and the only thing I know is the name of this town is the name of this town Yet again I'm missing you won't be long O' coming home Until that distant time I'll be moving on I'll be moving on
