Viewing Lyrics for Putting Ups With The Joneses:
| | | Artist: | Spirit Of The West |
| | Album: | Save This House | | Track: | Putting Ups With The Joneses | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 5 | | | | Lyrics: | mr. jones has a little problem
if i had eyes i'd see that it was me
he's the size of a man
with the potential of a boy
not what god had meant a child of its to be
i'm afraid that
he'll amount to all of nothing
the joy of reading Yeats he'll never know
and in the rat
race twirl
of our computer guided world
he stands no chance of winning
let alone to
place or show so
lock him up and throw away the key boys
mr. jones is not like you
or me
luck him up tight
cause if he had the chance he might
show us that we're
wrong
and that's the one thing we can't be
oh no
mr. jones wanted to be
married
it seemed like such a cute thing at the time
two peas in a pod, two of a
kind
who never have to ask each other
"what's on your mind?"
it seemed a simple way
to make them happy
and happy is such a simple way to be
and if the kept to
themselves
like two books upon a shelf
the kind you judge by the cover
and never take
the time to read
lock him up and throw away the key boys
mr. jones is not like you
or me
luck him up tight
cause if he had the chance he might
show us that we're
wrong
and that's the one thing we can't be
oh no
mr. jones and mrs. jones we're
elated to inform you
though you've failed to meet the standards
we've a place where we'll
reform you
it's a ways outside of town
but the distance has its uses
close enough to
make the effort
far enough to make excuses
lock him up and throw away the key
boys
mr. jones is not like you or me
luck him up tight
cause if he had the chance he
might
show us that we're wrong
and that's the one thing we can't be
oh
no
mrs. jones wants to have a baby
she says that as a woman its her right
yes
we tried to tell her i guess that she forgot
when she and mr. jones were wed
the doctors
tied the knot
why can't she just be happy in her own world
then we could all be happy
here in ours
we could still help out
even go as far as to stop off
at teh safeway,
and drop some pennies in the jar
lock her up and throw away the key boys
mrs.
jones is not like you or me
luck him up tight
cause if she had the chance she
might
show us that we're wrong
and that's the one thing we can't be
lock them up and
throw away the key boys
the joneses are not like you or me
luck them up tight
cause
if they had the chance they might
show us that we're wrong
and that's the one thing we
can't be
oh no | | | |
