A Little Bit of Madness - Mary Spender

A little bit, a little bit of love Goes a pretty long way Take a look at where you started from And where you are today You climbed mountains Swam oceans You got knocked down And kept goin' In the end you know you got to say A little bit of love goes a pretty long way All your wounds are healing fine I'm so glad I got you in my life Now the winter frost is gone Now is our chance to live the life we want A little bit, a little bit of love Goes a pretty long way Everybody, everybody's lost And that's okay Some show it, some hide it But there's a battle We're all fighting So if you're looking for the words to say A little bit of love goes a pretty long way Holding onto the rabbit's feet Walking down the sunny side of the street Shadows creeping at your back You can forget 'em like an amnesiac A little bit, a little bit of love Goes a pretty long way Love is really like a wonder drug Let's medicate And say goodbye To the drama It's a beeline To Nirvana If you're looking for the words to say A little bit of love goes a pretty long way Hey, ho Hey, ho Hey, ho Hey, ho A little bit, a little bit of love Goes a pretty long way Take a look at where you started from And where you are today You climbed mountains Swam oceans You got knocked down You kept goin' In the end you know you got to say A little bit of love goes a pretty long way Hey, ho Hey, ho Hey, ho A little bit of love goes a pretty long way

With his back against the San Francisco traffic On the bridge's side that faces towards the jail Setting out to join a demographic He hoists his first leg up over the rail A phone call's made, police cars show up quickly The Sergeant slams his passenger door He says, "Hey son, why don't you talk through this with me? Just tell me what you're doing it for" "Oh, it's a little bit of everything, it's the mountains, it's the fog It's the news at 6 o'clock, it's the death of my first dog It's the angels up above me, it's the song that they don't sing It's a little bit of everything" There's an older man who stands in a buffet line He is smiling and he's holding out his plate And the further he looks back into his timeline That hard road always led him to today Making up for when his bright future had left him Making up for the fact his only son is gone And letting everything out once, his server asks him "Have you figured out yet what it is you want?" "I want a little bit of everything, the biscuits and the beans Whatever helps me to forget about the things that brought me to my knees So pile on those mashed potatoes and an extra chicken wing I'm having a little bit of everything" Somewhere, a pretty girl is writing invitations To a wedding she has scheduled for the fall Her man says, "Baby, can I make an observation? You don't seem to be having any fun at all" She said, "You just worry about your groomsmen and your shirt size And rest assured that this is making me feel good I think that love is so much easier than you realize If you can give yourself to someone, then you should 'Cause it's a little bit of everything, the way you joke, the way you ache It is getting up before you so I could watch you as you wake So on that day in late September, it's not some stupid little ring I'm getting a little bit of everything" Oh, it's a little bit of everything, it's the Matador and the bull It's the suggested daily dosage, it's the red Moon when it's full All these psychics and these doctors, they're all right and they're all wrong It's like trying to make out every word when they should simply hum along It's not some message written in the dark or some truth that no one's seen It's a little bit of everything

Times can get tough Bringin' you down, 'til you on the ground Tears in your eyes Pain is so bad that you wanna die Look here You've got a friend to shelter you When the storm clouds come in You'll always have me Just wait and see How love's gonna be A little bit of love Goes a long, long way Lifting you up to a brighter day A little bit of love Goes a long, long way Turn it around when you up and say Everybody say love (love oh-oh-oh-oh) Can you feel the love?

(Love oh-oh-oh-oh) You've got a friend to shelter you When the storm clouds come in You'll always have me Just wait and see How love's gonna be (Oh-oh-oh-oh) Everybody say love (love oh-oh-oh-oh) Can you feel the love?

Walking through the archway alone Coffee at Primrose Whilst calling you back home The other side of the pond tempts me Why would I leave this city She knows me In you I see myself and time Loyalties will never die Everything you do is haunting Everything you do is a warning Everything you do is hurting me City set me free. Up in my garret I sit out on the roof Look out on Bristol I see the truth We have history She's cursed and loved me How could I leave the cliffside This view. In you I see myself and time Loyalties will never die Everything you do is haunting Everything you do is a warning Everything you do is hurting me Everything you do is haunting Everything you do is a warning Everything you do is hurting me City set me free. In you, I see myself and time Loyalties will never die Love is worth, all the pain Will you forgive and give again. Ohh. Everything you do is haunting Everything you do is a warning Everything you do is hurting me Oh,everything you do is haunting Everything you do is a warning Everything you do is hurting me City set me free.
