Throw the 'R' Away - song lyrics

I've been so sad
Since you said my accent was bad
He's worn a frown
This Caledonian clown

I'm just going to have to learn to hesitate
To make sure my words
On your saxon ears don't grate
But I wouldn't know a single word to say
If I flattened all the vowels
And I threw the "R" away

Some days I stand
On your green and pleasant land
How dare I show face
When my diction is such a disgrace?

I'm just going to have to learn to hesitate
To make sure my words
On your saxon ears don't grate
But I wouldn't know a single word to say
If I flattened all the vowels
And I threw the "R" away

You say that if I want to get ahead
The language I use should be left for dead
It doesn't please your ear
And though you tell it like a leg-pull
It seems your still full of John bull
You just refuse to hear

Oh, what can I do
To be understood by you?
Perhaps for some money
I could talk like a bee dripping honey.

I'm just going to have to learn to hesitate
To make sure my words
On your saxon ears don't grate
But I wouldn't know a single word to say
If I flattened all the vowels
And I threw the "R" away

You say that if I want to get ahead
The language I use should be left for dead
It doesn't please your ear
And though you tell it like a leg-pull
I think your still full of John bull
You just refuse to hear

He's been so sad
'Cause you said his accent was bad
He's worn a frown
This Caledonian clown

I'm just going to have to learn to hesitate
To make sure my words
On your saxon ears don't grate
But I wouldn't know a single word to say
If I flattened all the vowels
And I threw the "R" away

Flattened all the vowels
And I threw the "R" away
If I flattened all the vowels
And I threw the "R" away

"The Part You Throw Away" You dance real slow You wreck it down You walk away, then you Turn around What did that old blonde Gal say? That is the part... You throw away I want that beggars eyes A winning horse A tidy Mexican divorce St. Mary's prayers Houdini's Hands And a Barman who always Understands Will you loose the flowers Hold on to the vase Will you wipe all those teardrops Away from your fase I can't help thinking As I close the door I have done all of this Many times before The bone must go The wish can stay The kiss don't know What the lips will say Forget I've hurt you Put stones in your bed And remember to never Mind instead Well all of your letters Burned up in the fire Time is just memory Mixed in with Desire That's not the road it is Only the map... I say Gone just like matches From a closed down cabaret In a Portuguese Saloon A fly is a circling around The room You'll soon forget the Tune that you play For that is the part You throw away Ah, that is the part You throw away

Let's lock the door and throw away the key now (Shom dooby-dum dooby-dum-dum) I can't wait to kiss you (oh no) One little minute more We met at a party last week And the moment your eyes looked into mine Right then I just forgot how to speak And the soda started tastin' like wine How I wished everyone would go home So I could say when I got you alone Come on now Let's lock the door and throw away the key now (Shom dooby-dum dooby-dum-dum) I can't wait to kiss you (oh no) One little minute more We started to talk and you smiled Sorta like you knew the way that I felt You moved a little closer in a while Then I knew my heart was startin' to melt There was just so much I wanted to say But all the words came out this way Come on now Let's lock the door and throw away the key now (Shom dooby-dum dooby-dum-dum) I can't wait to kiss you (oh no) One little minute more Ahhhhh no! Oh yeah No! Oh yeah I'll kiss your lips like a kiss oughta be And then I know you'll be sayin' to me Come on now Let's lock the door and throw away the key now (Shom dooby-dum dooby-dum-dum) I can't wait to kiss you (oh no) One little minute more

Since I started being impressed By the things that move me All the treasures that I missed Came back to stand around me And as I curse the wasted time I lift my head to say Thank you God you gave the strength That helped me walk away All the fear and anger Still stays within my heart And I can't recall the last time I imagined they'd depart But this is what I'm going to do When they force me to doubt I'll ask for what I know remains To help me sing them out As rays of sun shine through the clouds To heat the soaking ground So when we come to sing the shouts We'll burn the theatres down Let every disbelieving sneer That looked me in the back Turn, come towards us, and feel the first attack.

Along these broken pavements I let my mind run free The past and the present Seem just the same to me The people I have loved most Among these stones they dwell And in the cleanest language The stories they did tell They pass, they pass, they pass, they pass The streets of Edinburgh Hold half the world for me In scores, in droves, the living and the ghosts The streets of Edinburgh Mean most to me Depending on your view point This place is blessed or cursed And in the years I've lived here I've seen the best and worst An air of sordid passion A look of dirty grace But not right in your face It's not that kind of place They pass, they pass, they pass, they pass The streets of Edinburgh Hold half the world for me In scores, in droves, the living and the ghosts The streets of Edinburgh Mean most to me Down greasy potholed roadways I watch the traffic crawl But for the cars and busses I give no thought at all I think about the future I wonder at her health How with this human wealth She does renew herself They pass, they pass, they pass, they pass The streets of Edinburgh Hold half the world for me In scores, in droves, the living and the ghosts The streets of Edinburgh Mean most to me

Shadows fall on our lives So quickly, my friend We feel warmth and see light Then darkness descends Shadows fall without warning And we stumble around Shadows fall without pity And there's no peace to be found Shadows fall on our lives So slowly, my friend We see them coming for miles But our happiness we don't defend Shadows fall where we let them As neglect turns to regret Shadows fall, do you never get them? Ah, you haven't lived long enough yet. Shadows fall on our loved ones When we are not to blame And we can't see any reason Why they're carrying all that pain Shadows fall right on them While there's light to their left and to their right So we try to help them step over But all they see is darkest night Shadows fall without warning And we stumble around Shadows fall without pity And there's no peace to be found
