Ben Coupland - Earth, Wind & Fire lyrics

[Intro] To the queen of hearts is the ace of sorrow He's here today, he's gone tomorrow Young men are plenty but sweethearts few If my love leaves me what shall I do? [Verse 1] Queens in the pocket, girl in a locket Say "oo-blay," say "oo-blay," say "boop-doop-da" Boys wanna knock it, other wanna rob it Say "oo-blay, bay-doop-bay, bay-doop-doop-da" I see when you're coming, girl, you look stunning Running for the friends of mine Well, it's more for the power and the hour after hour Well, he's itching for the powder one time Well, it's dear for the fire, hate for the liar Living for the ba** and beat Close to the wire, no one wanna hire Didn't want a working week Well, the old town crier looks for a buyer Out there finding your feet In scenes of schemes and drug-filled friends Will be fine for someone to meet [Chorus] I own earth, wind and fire It breeds the hunger that keeps me on the road again It's earth, wind and fire I don't own thunder, it's owned by a love of mine [Verse 2] With a beat of the drum that made your head spun See no, hear no, speak no, son Look like a gun held by the young In a far gone land shooting everyone Fee-fee, fi-fi, fo-fo, fum Is the package in the back becoming a problem Fee-fee, fi-fi, fo-fo, fum Is the habit that you have still fun? Counting on your losses, carrying crosses Looking at your face in the dirt Travelling buses, hiding from the rozzers Pretending that you're an extrovert Well, the girl you accosted and then took hostage Escaped while you were at work After three years, two days, paranoid drug haze Couldn't stand to live a life of hurt [Chorus] I own earth, wind and fire It breeds the hunger that keeps me on the road again It's earth, wind and fire I don't own thunder, it's owned by a love of mine With water, blood and wine She temps me back time after time Well, it's earth, wind and fire I don't own thunder, it's owned by a love of mine [Bridge] Sorrow, tomorrow Ooh [Chorus] I own earth, wind and fire It breeds the hunger that keeps me on the road again It's earth, wind and fire I don't own thunder, it's owned by a love of mine With water, blood and wine She temps me back time after time Well, it's earth, wind and fire I don't own thunder, it's owned by a love of mine
