Holy water


That boy on the corner, he be sellin? fluff
Can³g tell him nothin,³vause his life is tough
Gotta make a livin,? he be out all night
But the old folks say betty raised that boy up right

My mama said
Boy, you need some holy water
My mama said
Sprinkle that boy with holy water
My mama said
Come on, come on, drink some holy water
My mama said
Come on, come on, child, take the lord with you

Babies makin? babies, doin? deals in the street
Boy³f got a deadline with a windin? sheet
His baby-mother, outta school, outta dreams
Caught up in soaps while little malcolm screams

My mama said
Boy, you need some holy water
My mama said
Sprinkle that boy with holy water
My mama said
Come on, come on, drink some holy water
My mama said
Come on, come on, child, take the lord with you

Sprinkle that boy with holy water, child
Everyone knows you can³g fight fire with fire!
Ashes to ashes, from cradle to grave
Drink holy water, that boy can sure be saved!

My mama said
Boy, you need some holy water
My mama said
Sprinkle that boy with holy water
My mama said
Come on, come on, drink some holy water
My mama said
Come on, come on, child, take the lord with you

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Tom Tom Club è un duo musicale statunitense formatosi nel 1980 da Tina Weymouth e Chris Frantz, rispettivamente bassista e batterista dei Talking Heads. Il progetto nacque come una collaborazione parallela al gruppo principale, esplorando sonorità più elettroniche e dance. Il loro debutto omonimo del 1981 fu un successo critico e commerciale, con brani come "Wordy Rappinghood" che divennero hit radiofoniche. Nel corso degli anni '80, il Tom Tom Club ha continuato a pubblicare album di grande successo, collaborando con artisti come David Byrne e Nile Rodgers. Il loro sound, caratterizzato da ritmi funky, sintetizzatori e testi ironici, ha influenzato generi musicali come la new wave, l'electropop e la musica dance. Tra i brani più rappresentativi ricordiamo "Genius of Love", "Burning Down the House" (cover dei Talking Heads) e "Don't Talk to Me About Love".
