Shake
your head, shake your head
Shake your head ( let' s go, let' s go, let' s go to bed ) Shake your head... You can' t argue with death Can' t break a burly sailor' s neck You can' t drink lava from plastic glasses And you can' t influence the masses You can' t tune a radio to heaven You can' t live seven lives You can' t win money at the horses And you can' t fight the armed forces Shake your head, shake your head Shake your head, shake your head ( let' s go to bed ) You can' t feed the hungry You can' t talk Shakespeare to a monkey You can' t ban the bomb And there' s no way to stay calm You can' t sue Buddha for libel You can' t rewrite the Bible You can' t hit homers like Babe Ruth And can' t put your finger on the truth Shake your head, shake your head Shake your head, shake your head ( let' s go to bed ) Uh, Ah Ah And you can' t influence... Let' s go to bed |
# 25 Was (Not Was) -- Papa Was A Rollin' Stone: The comeback hit single for the loose collection of musicians and vocalists centred round the brothers Don and David Was, was this cover of the Temptations' 1970s classic. Reasonable, but not really adding a lot to the original, it climbed to no.12 a couple of weeks later, almost as high as "Walk The Dinosaur" reached two and a half years earlier. Their biggest hit of all would come two years later, when "Shake Your Head" climbed to no.4, helped by the guest vocals of Ozzy Osbourne and Kim Basinger. |
