Lyrics:
the needle to the red
Black and white
Who knows who's right
No substitute you're born you're dead
Fly by night
Created out of fantasy
Our destinations
on butter
And for milk we've only water
And I haven't seen a steak in many a day
As for pies, cakes and jellies
We substitute sour bellies
For which we work
My love don't cost a thing
A thing, a thing
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You think the money that you make
Can substitute the time you take
To get the keys
As cool Papa Bell
Motherfucker
Ugly word
Ubiquitous and often heard as a substitute for someone's Christian name
And I think yeah, the word is ugly,
nothing takes the place of you
Just ain't no substitute
'Cause you're all that I want in me
Only you can set me free
Darling, don't stay too long
as a substitute for pride
Victors join together, happy in their bed
Leaving cold outside the children of the dead
Music, all I hear is music
Guaranteed to please
a substitute less desirable,
But that is not the policy at this internationally famous green
grocery.
I should say not. No no no no no no no.
But may we
Fairy tales and time in whales
Substitutes for sin
It takes some life to find the light within
Whistle past the lane lover
Whistle past the lane
substitute, when it comes to you (come on)
Baby, baby, I'm missing you
Visions of us hand in hand come to me when I close my eyes
Baby, I don't understand
return.
Many are the substitutes but they're powerless on their own.
Beware the fisherman who's casting out his line
Into a dried up river bed,
But
life's so common it disappears
And sometimes even music
Cannot substitute for tears
Red! red! I want red!
There's no substitute for red!
Red! paint it red!
Green ain't mean compared to red!
You don't know what it does to me
Yeah,
Since you left me if you see me with another girl
Seeming like I'm having fun
Although she may be cute
She's just a substitute
Because you're
a substitute less desirable,
But that is not the policy at this internationally famous green
grocery.
I should say not. No no no no no no no.
But may we
nine, get up
'Cause it's time to make the payback fat
To my brothers on the block, better stay strapped, black
And accept no substitutes
I bring truth
that moves on
It's the kind and leaves me alone
I used to treat you like a lady
Now you're a substitute teacher
This bottle's not a prayer, not
a substitute 'cause you were the perfect one.
[Chorus]
I need you, I need you.
Outside I'm masqueradin',
'Cause inside my hope is fading.
Like a clown
really loves me)
Oh yeah, yeah (Oh yeah)
I can't seem to see no other beautiful face, oh no
There's just no cute substitute can take my baby's place
get away
'Cause I can't wait to figure out what's wrong with me
So I can say this is the way that I used to be
There's no substitute for time
My love don't cost a thing
A thing, a thing
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You think the money that you make
Can substitute the time you take
To get the keys
a little boy that listen when people would speak
Prostitutes, preaches, substitute teachers
Cops and criminals, they all gave speeches
About this
the plan is gone and
There's a reasonable substitute
I just saw myself crying
It didn't look too cute
I found a single blood you dropped
And you hate to part
no limit's
You're gettin' circled like my niggas
Makin Hajj in Mecca
The black stones substitute us
Through the microphone
Every year you got a new
a most delightful hat
Hmm, my compliments from me to you
On this your most intriguing hat
Consider though this substitute
A bat in place of this old
