Madness (Band) - Mr. Speaker (Gets The Word) lyrics

[The song proper begins at this point.] Wriggles from his captor's arms Mr. Speaker gets the word Running now from the alarms Speak his mind free as a bird Free now to roam around Stand up straight when he quotes Spread the word that he has found Books of verse and scribbled notes Mr. Speaker gets the word To tell the secrets he has heard Speaks so fast his words are slurred Mr. Speaker gets the word Stands up straight outside my door I bring you now the words I've learned Whom it may concern senor Tell my friends I have returned Mr. Speaker gets the word To tell the secrets he has heard Speaks so fast his words are slurred Mr. Speaker gets the word Excitement rages through his brain Stirred and stirred throughout the years Not enough time to explain Eyes of madness eyes of fear Making space from Coney Hatch Lane Just some poetry my friend Scuttles pa** my window frame Vanishes right round the bend Mr. Speaker gets the word To tell the secrets he has heard Speaks so fast his words are slurred Mr. Speaker gets the word
