Lyrics

Little Spark of Joy

Maria goes down to the Bingo hall
Lays it down and spends it all
Hoping for a little spark of joy
George is long gone, the kids don’t call
Her only friends are in this hall
They’re all hoping for a little spark of joy.

Dave takes his place at the end of the bar
All night long he doesn’t go far
Hoping for a little spark of joy
Alice left to be a movie star
His only friends are in this bar
They’re all hoping for a little spark of joy.

Hearts are broken, dreams forsaken
No fire in their eyes
Take no chances on romances
The great compromise
Ashes to ashes, the fire’s gone cold
And they’re all hoping for a little spark of joy.

TV preacher sells his wares
Janice sits all day and stares
Hoping for a little spark of joy
He tells her the money will cleanse her sin
Like all the others she sends it in
They’re all hoping for a little spark of joy.

Hearts are broken, dreams forsaken
No fire in their eyes
Take no chances on romances
The great compromise
Ashes to ashes, the fire’s gone cold
And they’re all hoping for a little spark of joy.
They’re all hoping for a little spark of joy.
