lyrics

OH BOY
© 2000 John Speed Lyrics & Music

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy
I can’t believe it’s true
Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy
What am I gonna do

I have a disposition, to please you till I die
I let you live in my bedroom, I’ll be home by and by
Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy what did I do

I had a little money I hoped would get me through
You wanted beer and cigarettes so what else could I do
I stand and serve I’m giving back as each of us must do
Somehow I lost my bedroom now I lost my money too

I try to be a saint, what’s good for me is good for you
I live on self restraint, I analyse each thing I do
I tell myself that somehow If I can see this through
The whole damn world will turn around and I’ll be saved like you
Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy what did I do

Holy Mary full of grace, these tears are streaming down my face
My heart is broken in disgrace, I’m lost among this human race
Realisation, illumination, transformation, higher station
Ball of light, holy right, come to me this moonlight night

Fill me up with true belief, see these hands and see these feet
See these tears run down my cheeks, let me love 'till I’m complete
See these tears run down my cheeks, let me love 'till I'm complete
Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy what did I do

about

John Speed Saint Anicet, Québec

John Speed’s music takes shape through lyrics that grasp the essential truths often hidden in life’s awakenings. Feel the blanketing effect of his vocals set into unframed instrumentation that instills an intriguingly comfortable rubato groove. John Speed, c'est un tête-à-tête avec une époque archétypale qui va droit au cœur ... Une musique qui a le don de réparer l'âme! » ... more
