Mr Speaker Gets The Word Lyrics - Rise And Fall - Madness

Humble thyself humble thyself 

And ye shall be exalted 

Lars porsena of crucium 

By the nine Gods he swore 

Humble thyself and ye shall be exalted 

You have all the members of the body 

Use them wisely that the great house of Tarquin 

Should suffer wrong no more 

By the nine Gods he swore it 

And named the trysting day 

Bade his messengers ride forth 

East and West and South and North 

To summon his array you 

Have all the members of the body 

Use them wisely into the 

Valley of death ode the six hundred 

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 Conley Hatch Lane 

Just some poetry my friend 

Scuttles pass 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
