song list next song Spin Doctors: Letter B Spin Doctors: Turn It Upside Down Can't Say No
(...)
You came to stay a long time ago
It was my wild
Your special touch
My mind's been busted up
My feelings like rocks nowhere to run
Been out of touch
Yeah, I can't say no
I can't say no
Yeah, that's the way it goes

Speedin' down your arteries
Freeway to your heart
Runnin' hot
Sworn by conviction
Metal train will go back
Even when there's no tracks
It's you by raw intention

Yeah, I can't say no
I can't say no
Yeah, that's the way it goes

Red light on my mind
Burnin' through my head
Lookin' all ways
A lot of pretty faces
A few you can trust
Take a chance,
You know you gotta.

Yeah, I can't say no
I can't say no
Yeah, that's the way it goes

That's the way it goes, yeah, yeah
song list next song previous song Spin Doctors: Turn It Upside Down Cleopatra's Cat
(Spin Doctors)
Cleopatra's favorite cat
Got his hands on Caesar's spats
The heat was on as you could see
So he front 'em to Mark Antony.
Said, "My girlfriend's cat is smarter than me."

Caesar had an eye for clothes
He saw them spats and said, "I like those."
Caesar had no thing to say, except,
"Jesu Christi Domine,
Et tu, Brute,
Jesu Christi Domine,
Et tu, Brute."

The senate tried to sympathize
It was the cat they should despise
Informant told his whereabouts
Centurions to seek him out

Centurions! There go the centurions.

Brutus had to turn his head
When that cat done went and said,
"If he's got this thing for shoes,
He just might be ambitious, too.
They got holidays all in his name,
And all a tyrant needs is fame.
Those fascists don't play pretty games
Egypt is the place to be...
But Rome is a democracy.
Rome!"

Caesar never got them back
'Cause they killed his ass in the second act.
Brutus spoke, then Antony:
Said, "My girlfriend's cat is smarter than me.
Friends, Romans, can't you see
My girlfriend's cat is smarter than me
Egypt's biggest rivalry:
Cleopatra's cat and me."
song list next song previous song Spin Doctors: Turn It Upside Down Cop That The Robber
(...)
This cop that the robber is thinkin' of
Stole his heart and they fell in love
They was makin' love at the scene of the crime
Drinkin' a gram of gin with a twist of lime

Commissioner never heard about it
Well, he'd throw her in and he'd kick him out
But oh to him she could never lie
And he'd steal anything that up and caught her eye

Said oh your occupation
Is not the vital information
I love the woman in your eyes;
You're some fun I recognize

He said stealin' right now is where I'm at
He searched his heart and he could deal with that
She said detective work is my chosen line

Said oh your occupation
Is not the vial information
I love the woman in your eyes;
You're some fun I'm gonna recognize

She never got ? you know she did
I wanna settle down, I wanna have a kid
She tore off her mask, said I love you
He stole her ring and said I love you too

Said oh your occupation
Is not the vial information
I love the woman in your eyes;
You're some fun I recognize
song list Spin Doctors: Letter D previous song Spin Doctors: Turn It Upside Down Creation
(...)
What happens as these rare strange beautiful, beautiful objects stray the ached Earth?
Perhaps they whisper more readily from the shoulder of motherhood.
But they are far far harder to mark from the singing spark flaming grindstone.
Fire ward their cases lay hollow in the separate mystic place they come from
