Tanita Tikaram - Twist in my sobriety (Ancient Heart, 1988) - Official Video

All God’s children need travelling shoes Drive your problems from here All good people read good books Now your conscience is clear I hear you talk, girl Now your conscience is clear In the morning when I wipe my brow Wipe the miles away I like to think I can be so willed And never do what you say I’ll never hear you And never do what you say We just poked a little empty pie For the fun that people had at night Late at night don’t need hostility Timid smile and pause to free I don’t care about their different thoughts Different thoughts are good for me Up in arms and chaste and whole All God’s children took their toll [Verse 3] Cup of tea, take time to think, yeah Time to risk a life, a life, a life Sweet and handsome Soft and porky You pig out ’til you’ve seen the light Pig out ’til you’ve seen the light Half the people read the papers Read them good and well Pretty people, nervous people People have got to sell News you have to sell
