"Meet Benny Bailey Lyrics"
I'm looking through you Lyrics
I'm looking through you, where did you go? I thought I knew you, what did I know? You don't look different but you have changed I'm looking through you, you're not the same Your lips are moving, I cannot hear Your voice is soothing but the words aren't clear You don't sound
I'm looking through you, where did you go? I thought I knew you, what did I know? You don't look different but you have changed I'm looking through you, you're not the same Your lips are moving, I cannot hear Your voice is soothing but the words aren't clear You don't sound
Let me introduce you
I've heard that boredom's entered your life
And you're feelin' real low
Have you met Benny Bailey?
Well he's a fella that you should know
They tell me lassitude's has laid you low
An' you're losin' your grip
you must meet Benny Bailey
At least he's somebody who is hip
To cure an ennui, you need a bon nuit
It's part o' the joie de vie
And his attention, I'm loathe to mention
Is, incident'ly, available
And so if providence should decree
Who'll stand in the way
So you'll meet Benny Bailey
And you'll r

Background Vocals: Once you've met
You won't forget
No stuff
Benny's tough
(Repeat 1,2,3)
This could be your lucky day
Incident'ly, he's the sort
Tho' seen at court
Carries an awful lotta weight
In many less royal quarters
Filled with less than regal daughters
Quite the quixotic Romeo whom every
Filly'll know because they find his
Reputation wherever they go
Whether it's here
Or whether it's in another boudoir
Whee!
He's such a scandal, really
T' handle him demands a savoir fairer

Chariot Of Fire Lyrics
Sorry that we took so long You probably thought we forgot your song It makes us smile Just so you know To see your eyes at our shows I wrote this song While I was drunk I hope you dont mind That it was wired But you called me and said You dont want your fr

Than any that I've encountered surveyin' the scene
But never mind, I'll explain it later
The fact is that he's always ready to please
And that's aroused a lot o'chatter
But it really doesn't matter, not to him
No siree! It's 'bout as big t'him as any flea
He's gotta be maitre'd
Or so it seems to me
Wait'll y'meet, you'll see what I'm sayin'
Background Vocals: Meet this cat
He's where it's at
That's right, outta sight
Benny Bailey
He's no slouch
For this I'll vouch
He's cool, he's no fool
To cure an ennui<
It Was Written(Feat Damian MarleyStephen Marley Lyrics

You need a bon nuit(Chorus) (Stephen Marley) It was written, up in the book of life That man shall, endure forever more And it was written, up in the book of life That man shall, endure forever more (Damian Marley) Well did you know the pen is stronger than the knife They can kil
It's part of the joie de vie
He's the kind o'cat people hear about
But in a second-handed way
That there's nothing really clear about
Let me introduce you
I've heard that boredom's entered your life
And you're feelin' real low
Have you met Benny Bailey?
Well he's a fella that you should know
They tell me lassitude's has laid you low
An' you're losin' your grip
you must meet Benny Bailey
At least he's somebody who is hip
We're glad you got to meet Benny Bailey
I'm happy fin'lly meeting with you
