Two Medicines Songtext
von Timbuk 3

You lose your purse
Your mother hang up on you
Well, that′s why I can't sleep
And my head aches
And this is for me

Two medicines
I need them every day
Two medicines
To keep the doctor away
One to drown my sorrows
One to face my fears
Laughter and tears
Laughter and tears


Two medicines
I swear they ain′t no crime
Two medicines
And they don't cost a dime
They heal the body
Cleanse the soul
Help me master
Self-control
Two medicines
That helped me through the years
Laughter and tears
Laughter and tears

Two medicines
Life's little pleasures
Two medicines
To help relieve the pressures
Pressure from without
Pressure from within
Pressure in my bloodstream
Pressure on my skin
Pressure from my elders
Pressure from my peers
Laughter and tears
Laughter and tears


There was a man so masculine
He would not take his medicine
No pain could penetrate his pride
He kept his feelings locked inside
His final years were such a waste
That when he died his dear wife
Placed upon his grave this epitaph
"His life was so funny he forgot to laugh"

Two medicines
Are all we really need
Two medicines
Effectiveness guaranteed
They aid communication
Make for better sex
You can mix the two together
With no bad side effects
Two medicines
To help you through the years
Laughter and tears
Laughter and tears

Two medicines
I need them every day
Two medicines
To keep the doctor away
One to drown my sorrows
One to face my fears
Laughter and tears
Laughter and tears

My headache′s gone
