What have I got to do to make you love me
What have I got to do to make you care
What do I do when lightning strikes me
And I wake to find that youre not there
What do I do to make you want me
What have I got to do to be heard
What do I say when its all over
And sorry seems to be the hardest word
Its sad, so sad
Its a sad, sad situation
And its getting more and more absurd
Its sad, so sad
Why cant we talk it over
Oh it seems to me
That sorry seems to be the hardest word
What do I do to make you love me
What have I got to do to be heard
What do I do when lightning strikes me
What have I got to do
What have I got to do
When sorry seems to be the hardest word |
Well he could almost taste the money
But he was sitting in a den of thieves
Looking for the great awakening
Trying to find a way to leave
But thats when he got religion
And the light went on inside
He said somebody up there likes me
Now hes working for the holy guide
He got drunk but he dont remember
That hed been drinking in a bar downtown
When he thought he heard a choir of angels
Singing in the Tiki Lounge
And thats when he got religion
From no salesman on TV
Just a tap on the shoulder in the parking lot
He still drinks but he does believe
Religion
Oh, you do the best you can
We all make the same mistakes
Were gonna wind up with the man
Religion
Oh, you do the best you can
We all make the same mistakes
Were gonna wind up with the man
Well, she was silent as he paid her
But the thanks she got was next to none
And as her car pulled out of the motel
She felt the presence of someone
And thats when she got religion
In the front of a compact Ford
Just a gentle voice on the stereo
Now shes a working girl who loves the lord
Religion
Oh, you do the best you can
We all make the same mistakes
Were gonna wind up with the man
Religion
Oh, you do the best you can
We all make the same mistakes
Were gonna wind up with the man
And thats when she got religion
In the front of a compact Ford
Just a gentle voice on the stereo
Now shes a working girl who loves the lord
Religion
Oh, you do the best you can
We all make the same mistakes
Were gonna wind up with the man
Religion
Mm-hm-hm
We all make the same mistakes
Were gonna wind up with the man |
Turn me loose from your hands
Let me fly to distant lands
Over green fields, trees and mountains
Flowers and forest fountains
Home along the lanes of the skyway
For this dark and lonely room
Projects a shadow cast in gloom
And my eyes are mirrors of the world outside
Thinkin of the ways that the wind can turn the tide
And these shadows turn from purple into grey
For just a Skyline Pigeon
Dreamin of the open
Waiting for the day
But he can spread his wings
And fly away again
Fly away, skyline pigeon, fly
Towards the dreams you left so very far behind
Fly away, skyline pigeon, fly
Towards the dreams you left so very far behind
Let me wake up in the mornin to the smell of new mown hay
To laugh and cry, to live and die in the brightness of my day
I wanna hear the pealing bells of distant churches sing
But most of all, please free me from this aching metal ring
And open out this cage towards the sun
For just a Skyline Pigeon
Dreamin of the open
Waiting for the day
But he can spread his wings
And fly away again
Fly away, skyline pigeon, fly
Towards the dreams you left so very far behind
Fly away, skyline pigeon, fly
Towards the dreams you left so very, so very far behind |
I can see very well
Theres a boat on the reef with a broken back
And I can see it very well
Theres a joke and I know it very well
Its one of those that I told you long ago
Take my word Im a madman dont you know
Once a fool had a good part in the play
If its so would I still be here today?
Its quite peculiar in a funny sort of way
They think its very funny everything I say
Get a load of him, hes so insane
Youd better get your coat dear
It looks like rain
Well come again next Thursday afternoon
The in-laws hope theyll see you very soon
But is it in your conscience that youre after
Another glimpse of the Madman across the Water
I can see very well
Theres a boat on the reef with a broken back
And I can see it very well
Theres a joke and I know it very well
Its one of those that I told you long ago
Take my word Im a madman dont you know
The grounds a long way down but I need more
Is the nightmare black
Or are the windows painted?
Will they come again next week
Can my mind really take it?
Well come again next Thursday afternoon
The inlaws hope theyll see you very soon
But is it in your conscience that youre after
Another glimpse of the Madman across the Water |
Look at me, Satine. Why else live, if not for love?
Come what may, come what may
I will love you until my dying day
And you can tell everybody
This is your song
It may be quite simple, but
Now that its done
I hope you dont mind
I hope you dont mind
That I put down in words
How wonderful life is while youre in the world
And you can tell everybody
You can tell everybody
This is your song
This is your song
It may be quite simple, but
It may be quite simple, but
Now that its done
Now that its done
I hope you dont mind
I hope you dont mind
That I put down in words
We can be heroes
How wonderful life is
We can be heroes
How wonderful life is
We can be heroes
How wonderful life is
While youre in the world
While youre in the world
How wonderful life is
While youre in the...
How wonderful life is
While youre in the world |
If you feel that its real, Im on trial
And Im here, in your prison
Like a coin in your mint
I been dented and Im spent with high treason
Through a glass eye, your throne
Is the one danger zone
Take me to the pilot for control
Take me to the pilot of your soul
Take me to the pilot, lead me through the chamber

Holding all the pictures that my lifes drawn
I never find Im missing love
Remembering all parades that had been rained on
But never cloudy leaving love
Ask me what it is that makes it special
Why its so real to me?
Its knowing who keeps their place in my heart
Its knowing how is it I can feel you
Its knowing never will I change my mind
When I think about love, I think about you
When I think about love, I think about you
Too many times Ive turned my emotions on and off
Without realizing what it does
Know whats moved me and kept me going this far
But I never questioned what it was
Ask me what it is that makes it special
Why its so real to me?
Its knowing who keeps their place in my heart
Its knowing how is it I can feel you
Its knowing never will I change my mind
When I think about love, I think about you
When I think about love, I think about you
Ask me what it is that makes it special
Why its so real to me?
Its knowing who keeps their place in my heart
Its knowing how is it I can feel you
Its knowing never will I change my mind
When I think about love, I think about you
When I think about love, I think about you
When I think about love, I think about you
When I think about love, I think about you
When I think about love, I think about you
When I think about love, I think about you |
Youre too low to see me smiling
When Im flying in the air
But youre too high to frighten me
Pretend you didnt see me
Pretend you didnt need me
Pretend you didnt see me
Pretend you didnt need me
To frighten away all the lost and the lonely
The sacred forgotten of yesterdays problems
Your wooden construction was meant for infliction
To penetrate pain with the thoughts from my mind
Can you see me scarecrow
Can you still feel free
For all your love scarecrow
And will you still be there tomorrow
And will you still be there tomorrow
Like moths around a light bulb, your brain is still bleeding
From visions and pictures of natures young raincoat
If only my eyes were not pinned to your table
My arms would be grasping the lilies of summer
Its no good to be a scarecrow post
And Ive said it before, and Ill say it some more |
All quiet on the Western Front, nobody saw
A youth asleep in the foreign soil, planted by the war
Feel the pulse of human blood pouring forth
See the stems of Europe bend under force
All quiet
All quiet
All quiet on the Western Front
So tired of this gardens grief, nobody cares
Old kin kiss the small white cross, their only souvenir
See the Prussian offense fly, werent we grand
To place the feel of cold sharp steel in their hands
All quiet
All quiet
All quiet on the Western Front
Its gone all quiet on the Western Front, male angels sigh
Ghosts float in a flooded trench as Germany dies
Fever reaps the flowers of France, fair-haired boys
String the harps to Victorys voice, joyous noise
All quiet
All quiet
All quiet on the Western Front
All quiet
All quiet
All quiet on the Western Front |
Ich weiß, die Beschränktheit der Hyänen
Ist bestimmt alles andere als klein
Ich will nebenbei nur erwähnen
Ich red nicht nur Löwenlatein
Die stumpfen Visagen betonen
Die oberen Etagen sind leer
Ich rede von Königen, von Thronen
Und auch Unwissen schützt euch nicht mehr
Seid bereit für die Zeit eures Lebens
Seid bereit für den größten der Coups
Die goldene Ära schleicht näher und näher
Und was springt für uns raus?
Ich lass euch schon nicht aus
Ihr dämlichen Viecher
Der Lohn ist euch sicher
An dem Tag, wenn das Recht triumphiert
Und mich endlich von Knechtschaft befreit
Seid bereit
Ja, seid bereit
Wir sind immer bereit
Für was?
Für den Tod des Königs
Wieso?
Ist er krank?
Nein, du Null, wir bringen ihn um
Und Simba auch
Tolle Idee! Wer braucht schon nen König?
Niemand, niemand, la la-la la-la la!
Idioten! Es wird einen König geben!
Aber du hast doch...
Ich werde König sein
Haltet zu mir und ihr werdet nie wieder Hunger leiden
Ja, klasse, lang lebe der König!
Lang lebe der König!
Lang lebe der König!
Ja, wir sind bald Untertanen
Eines Königs, den jedermann liebt
Ich muss jedoch ernsthaft ermahnen
Dass es für euch Pflichten noch gibt
In Zukunft gibts so viel zu plündern
Das meiste krieg sowieso ich
Ich darf trotzdem höflichst erinnern
Kein Krümelchen gibts ohne mich
Seid bereit für den Coup des Jahrhunderts
Seid bereit für den teuflichsten Pakt
Ich plan es seit Jahren
Trotz allen Gefahren
Gerissen verbissen
Ganz ohne Gewissen
Als König gebohren zum Herrscher erkoren
Erglänz ich in all meiner Pracht
Meine Zähne sind blank wie mein Neid
Seid bereit
Unsere Zähne sind blank wie sein Neid
Seid bereit |
I thought I knew
Now I know
Way alone
Now I know
Turn around and say, Good morning to the night
Turn around and say, Good morning to the night
Turn around and say, Good morning to the night
Thought I knew
Now I know
Way alone
Now I know
Turn around and say, Good morning to the night
Turn around and say, Good morning to the night
Turn around and say, Good morning to the night
Turn around and say, Good morning to the night
Tonight, why not approach with less defiance?
Do we have to fight again?
Turn out the light
Tonight
Turn around and say, Good morning to the night
Turn around and say, Good morning to the night
Turn around and say, Good morning to the night
Turn around and say, Good morning to the night |
Like a thief hes come, like a thief hes gone
Hes stolen your tears one by one
Youre proud to love him, its a foolish sign
Youre a broken heart at the scene of the crime
And the night drags on, and the fever burns
Come to your senses, everybody learns
You sleep in sweet fire lost and blue
Youre an empty doll in the power of a fool
Dont go sleeping with the past
Dont go praying hell come back
Take a deep breath and deny
You could love a man like that
Dont go sleeping with the past
Dont go waking with a dream
Theres no tenderness thats left
In the cracks you step between
If it looks like rain, if it makes no sound
Its an echo of pain on common ground
Loves like a junkie, addictions a fact
Passions a monkey you cant keep off your back
But he takes love and he turns it cold
Hes just an iceman honey, aint got no heart of gold
But he sees you and he runs from you
Come on and shake this shadow that youre clinging to
And hell hurt you
And hell run from you
Come on and shake this shadow that youre clinging to |
He was a light star
Tripping on a high wire
Bulldog stubborn
Born uneven
A classless creature
A man for all seasons
But dont bet them
They cant take him
To the very bottom
Because they made him
And theyll waste him
And I dont believe
That I want to watch them
Cause the fifties shifted out of gear
He was an idol then
Now hes an idol here
But his face has changed
Oh hes not the same no more
And I have to say
That I like the way his music sounded before
He was tight-assed
Walking on broken glass
Highly prized in the wallet size
The number one crush
In a schoolgirls eyes
But dont pretend
That it wont end
In the depth of your despair
You went from lame suits
Right down to tennis shoes
To peanuts
From the lions share
Cause the fifties shifted out of gear
He was an idol then
Now hes an idol here
But his face has changed
Oh hes not the same no more
And I have to say
That I like the way his music sounded before |
¿Cómo voy a lograr que aun me quieras?
¿Cómo lograr que quieras escuchar?
Cuando este fuego me desvela
Pero despierto solo una vez mas
¿Cómo lograr verte de nuevo?
¿Cómo he de recobrar tu corazón?
¿Cómo aceptar que todo ha muerto
Y ya no hay forma de pedir perdón?
Que mal, que mal
Esta absurda y triste historia
Que se pone cada vez peor
Que mal, que mal
¿por qué ni puedo hablarte?
Temo que es así
Que ya no hay forma de pedir perdón
¿Cómo lograr que aun me quieras?
¿Cómo lograr que quieras escuchar?
Cuando este fuego me desvela...
¿Qué es lo que voy a hacer?
¿Qué es lo que voy a hacer
Si ya no hay forma de pedir perdón? |
I hung out with the old folks
In the hope that Id get wise
I was trying to bridge the gap
Between the great divide
Hung on every recollection
In the theater of their eyes
Picking up on this and that
In the few that still survived
Call em up, n dust em off, let them shine
The ones who hold onto the the ones
They had to leave behind
Those that flew and those that fell
The ones that had to stay
Beneath a little wooden cross oceans away
They bend like trees in winter
These shuffling old grey lions
Those snow-white stars still gather
Like the belt around Orion
Just to touch the faded lightning
Of their powerful design
Of a generation gathering
For maybe the last time
Call em up, n dust em off, let them shine
The ones who hold onto the the ones
They had to leave behind
Those that flew and those that fell
The ones that had to stay
Beneath a little wooden cross oceans away
Oceans away
Where the green grass sways
And the cool wind blows
Across the shadow of their graves
Shoulder to shoulder back in the day
Sleeping bones to rest in earth, oceans away
Oceans away
Call em up, n dust em off, let them shine
The ones who hold onto the the ones
They had to leave behind
Those that flew and those that fell
The ones that had to stay
Beneath a little wooden cross oceans away |
You hear it every day
Once upon a time they say
Once upon a time in this place
I looked and saw on your face
A smile that spoke to me
In oh so many ways
The Sunday morning bells
Rang out that all was well
Sunshine across the yard
We’d rest when we worked hard
We take a little time off
To appreciate the day
And love builds a garden
Grew it from the ground up
Each one of us knowing
Every inch of it was us
We pulled it all together
Hoping and believing
That love built this garden
For the two of us to dream in
We’d get a little rain
Then the sun came out again
But a frost it’s hard to fight
Once it takes hold flowers die
There’s only so much you can do
To keep some things alive
Sad to say, it’s true
Without a lover who
Cares as much
Well I guess, I guess it goes to prove |
Can you tell me how old Dan mightve done it
If hed been here now, holy cow
My stars mightve been read on the planet Mars
Cause I dont have foresight to see
If well still be together in the twenty-first
In the twenty-first century, oh no
Hes our flyin ace, Pilot of the Future
In an endless space, holy cow
My eyes never saw a rocket that was quite that size
Cause I dont have the energy
To be cat and mouse for the champions
For the champions of destiny, oh no
So long, Captain Dan
I fail to see what motivates your hands
Goodbye, restless night
You know I love Dan Dare, but I couldnt make his flight
So long, so long, yeah
Dan Dare doesnt know it
He doesnt know it, he doesnt know it
But I like the Mekon
Oh, so long, Captain Dan
I fail to see what motivates your hands
Goodbye, restless night
You know I love Dan Dare, but I couldnt make his flight
So long, so long
Dan Dare doesnt know it
He doesnt know it, he doesnt know it
But I like the Mekon
Dan Dare doesnt know it
He doesnt know it, he doesnt know it
But I like the Mekon
Dan Dare doesnt know it
Doesnt know it, doesnt know it
But I like the Mekon
Dan Dare doesnt know it, know it
Doesnt know it, know it, doesnt know it, know it, doesnt know it
But I like the Mekon |
On a good day I can see forever
I can take my time and get to know who you are
It’s a mystery, it’s never in the stars
It’s in your blood, tears and heart
And there must be a good reason these things take time
Love is only a season in the year of your mind and I’d like to think that I’m honest
It’s better for your health, but well, sometimes I fool myself that
The symmetry of two hearts is never easy
I never know where to start but I really try
Even if we’re two parts of one puzzle I still, I still wish we were one
And in the mornings I tend to find myself over thinking
Worried that someone else might not remember the little words I say
Oh what a waste of time and a waste of space
Cos one mind can only hold on to so much:
A kiss
A moment
Or a touch
And there must be a good reason that some people forget. Instead I just remind myself that
The symmetry of two hearts is never easy
I never know where to start but I really try
Even if we’re two parts of one puzzle I still, I still wish we were one
Ohhhhhh
One kiss and the ice might melt, remember
One word and the world might fall at your feet
Cos one dream can be shared by more than one mind, but they’re just so hard to find
The symmetry of two hearts is never easy
I never know where to start but I really try
Even if we’re two parts of one puzzle I still, I still wish we were one |
I watch the raindrops falling on my window pane
All the bloomed forget-me-nots wont falter in the rain
Electric light bulbs cannot replace the sun
And picture postcards cant reveal all the things weve done
And the flowers will never ever die
And the flowers will never die
And autumn in the country cannot withhold the sky
And the flowers will never die
He spreads his cloudy blanket on a raging sea
And calms the cruel waves with the help of powers that be
The hours fly by, the clock ticks on maneuvering its hands
While the autumn leaves fall from the trees and return into the land |
Got this bug-eyed girl
Cold hand on my knee
Frozen teeth chitter, chatter
Shes dressed up like a cemetery
Like a cemetery
Snowbound all winter
Blue lips on my cheek
Little tongues prattlin, rattlin
Talkin about them hometown geeks
Them hometown geeks
Wake up Wendy, smell the coffee
Help me into your custom kitchen
Gimme a cup of that old black magic
I want to get me some of that old home cookin
Can you feel it, its chilly and freezin
Wake up Wendy, moods a changin
I got a reason, and you got a feelin
Wake up Wendy, loves in season
Feels like a steam clean
When she washes me
Clouds a bustin, pumps a hissin
Just peel me off the ceiling
Off the ceiling
Oh, chill out, bug-eyed-girl
Zap me into cinders
Pop the thermal mumbo jumbo
Melt me with your little fingers
With little fingers
Wake up Wendy, smell the coffee
Help me into your custom kitchen
Gimme a cup of that old black magic
I want to get me some of that old home cookin
Can you feel it, oh, its chilly and freezin
Wake up Wendy, moods a changin
I got a reason, and you got a feelin
Wake up Wendy, loves in season
Wake up Wendy, loves in season
Wake up Wendy, loves in season |
Written by George and Ira Gershwin
From Four Weddings and a Funeral soundtrack
Theyre writing songs of love, but not for me
A lucky stars above, but not for me
With love to lead the way, Ive found more clouds are grey
Than any Russian play could guarantee
I was a fool to fall and get that way
Heigh ho, alas, and also lack-a-day
Although I cant dismiss the memory of her kiss
I guess shes not for me
It all began so well, but what an end
This is the time a feller needs a friend
When every happy plot ends with a marriage knot
And theres no knot for me |
How come youre so understanding
When I tell you all my lies?
And pretending to believe them
See through all my alibis
And I need you more than ever
And I want you till the end, Chloe
How you handle what you live through
I can never hope to learn
Taking all the pain I give you
Loving blindly in return
And I need you more than ever
I will always be your friend, Chloe
Chloe
Chloe, what you gonna do bout me?
Chloe, what you gonna do?
What you going to do bout me?
Youre the lifeline that I cling to
When I feel like giving in
When the dreams that I rely on
Start to wear a little thin
Then I need you more than ever
And I want you till the end, Chloe, mm
Chloe
Chloe, what you gonna do bout me?
Chloe, what you gonna do?
What you gonna do about me?
And I need you more than ever
And I want you till the end, Chloe, mm
Chloe
Chloe, what you gonna do bout me?
Chloe, what you gonna do?
What you gonna do bout me?
What you gonna do bout me? |
Your life stepped lightly out our hands
When no ones looking out you understand
Your world was a wheel but the cog ceased to turn
The bottom fell out and our fingers got burned
And theres a cold, cold highway that the wind whistles down
Where the corners turn blind like the graveyard ground
Oh your black icy stare once cut down my friend
In the deepest dark winter when the world seemed to end
Every new version of the way of life
Leaves you reckless and searching for stars in the night
But whose kid are you when they finally decide
The lifestyle you led and the way that you died
And theres a cold, cold highway that the wind whistles down
Where the corners turn blind like the graveyard ground
Oh your black icy stare once cut down my friend
In the deepest dark winter when the world seemed to end
But theyre oh so simple, theyre still trying to tell
The difference for you between heaven and hell
To glorify something, your legends are found
But all they bought you was a hole in the ground
Years rolling by just like a dream
Im partly human and Im partly machine
Theyve lost you and fate put your name on a stone
Perhaps now my friend they might leave you alone
And theres a cold, cold highway that the wind whistles down
Where the corners turn blind like the graveyard ground
Oh your black icy stare once cut down my friend
In the deepest dark winter when the world seemed to end |
Oh my love
I have cursed the stars above
That lead my heart to you
But as hard as I try
Still my love will not die
And the stars still shine on through
Oh my dear
Now this ships too hard to steer
The tide has turned, turned on you
I have been through the lies
That Ive seen in your eyes
But the truth still shines on through
But the truth it still shines, shines on through
So shine, shine on through the days we have to fill
Though we took our love so daringly
And gave it up uncaringly
There are feelings left not even we can kill
Oh my friend
So at last we reach the end
The lights go down on cue
I have wasted my time
But it tasted oh so fine
That my love still shines, shines on through
And my love still shines, shines on you |
Deep inside
My soul fights a war
I cant explain
I cant cross over any more
All I see are dirty faces
Rain and wire
And common sense in pieces
But I try to see through Irish eyes
Belfast
Look outside
Summers lost and gone
Its a long walk
On a street of right and wrong
In every inch of sadness
Rocks and tanks
Go hand in hand with madness
But I never saw a braver place
Belfast
And its sad when they sing
And hollow ears listen
Of smoking black roses
On the streets of Belfast
And so say your lovers
From under the flowers
Every foot of this world
Needs an inch of Belfast
Whos to say
On whom heaven smiles
Our different ways
We try hard to recognise
No more enchanted evenings
The pubs are closed
And all the ghosts are leaving
But youll never let them shut you down
Belfast
And its sad when they sing
And hollow ears listen
Of smoking black roses
On the streets of Belfast
And so say your lovers
From under the flowers
Every foot of this world
Needs an inch of Belfast
The enemy is not at home
A jealous green
Streaks down this faulty diamond
No bloody boots or crucifix
Can ever hope to split this emerald island
But I never saw a braver face
Belfast |
The church bells ring out morning glory
When summer bends to the winters rage
Emily walks through the cemetery
Passed a dog in an unmarked grave
The old girl hobbles, nylons sagging
Talks to her sisters in the ground
I saw a lie in the mirror this morning
I heard a prophesy all around
And Emily they come and go
The shadows and the distant sounds
But Emily dont be afraid
When the weight of angels weighs you down
Emily prays to a faded hero
In a little frame clutched to her gown
Hears the voice of promise in his memory
Tonights the night they let the ladder down
In a cage sits a gold canary
By a wicker chair and a rosewood loom
As a soul ascends abord the evening
Canary sings to an empty room |
I blew the dust out of the corners
Threw some dead wood on the fire
Tuned the radio to silence
Watched the evening sun expire
Should have called you up this morning
But Im such a fool at times
I still search my shaving mirror
Looking for your face with mine
And I cant stay alone tonight
Cant let another day go by
Why is it always this way?
Time never seems to really fly
And time is never really on my side
And I cant stay alone tonight
Things have to change and they might
But I cant stay alone tonight
Chalk up one more crazy notion
Imagination running wild
But if I needed confirmation
I would have gone that extra mile
Youre the last chance on the highway
Im that open stretch of road
Youre the diner in my rear-view
A cup of coffee getting cold
And I cant stay alone tonight
Cant let another day go by
Why is it always this way?
Time never seems to really fly
And time is never really on my side
And I cant stay alone tonight
Things have to change and they might
But I cant stay alone tonight
Bruised in this cold war of words
Weve come undone two loose ends alone
Possessed by that curse youve endured
The spell that I cast couldnt make you come home
And I cant stay alone tonight
Cant let another day go by
Why is it always this way?
Time never seems to really fly
And time is never really on my side
And I cant stay alone tonight
Things have to change and they might
But I cant stay alone tonight |
I used to think that New York City
Fell from grace with God
And innocence abroad
Waged a war for the underdog
When the snow falls
And Central Park looks like a Christmas card
I just looked beyond the bagman
And the madness that makes this city hard
I heard a basketball
Somewhere out beyond a chain link fence
Inner city prisoners
Argue for the right of self defense
But theres a fast break
And every work of art wakes something in the soul
Just focus on the brush strokes
And the bouquets that the dancers hold
Spanish Harlem still sounds good to me
Yeah Mona Lisas getting older
Standing in the shadow of Miss Liberty
While I walk along the west side
Down through Little Italy
Searching for the city
That took away the kid in me
Spanish Harlem still sounds good to me
Yeah Mona Lisas getting older
Standing in the shadow of Miss Liberty
While I walk along the west side
Down through Little Italy
Searching for the city
That took away the kid in me
Spanish Harlem still sounds good to me
Yeah Mona Lisas getting older
Standing in the shadow of Miss Liberty
While I walk along the west side
Down through Little Italy
Searching for the city
That took away the kid in me |
One, two, three, four!
I was born in the north of England
I was raised in a working town
I broke all the rules when I went to school
But the teachers couldnt pin me down
I tried to make my parents proud
By adapting to the social powers
Oh, pigs will fly and the earth will fry
When they get me doing honest hours
Snookeroo, snookeroo
Daddys going on the booze
Mother used to cut my hair
And sister used to make the news
Well, it was two rooms up and two rooms down
We were sentenced by the wrecking crane
Oh, I was born on the eve of Halloween
And snookeroo, snookeroo
Snookeroos my name
I need someone to cook for me
And turn me lose at night
I could spend my life with a factory girl
Cause a factory girls my type
I hear them gossip on the street
Most of what they say is true
Oh, dont you know that I hear them say
There goes that lazy, no good snookeroo
Snookeroo, snookeroo
Daddys going on the booze
Mother used to cut my hair
And sister used to make the news
Well, it was two rooms up and two rooms down
We were sentenced by the wrecking crane
Oh, I was born on the eve of Halloween
And snookeroo, snookeroo
Snookeroos my name
Snookeroo, snookeroo
Daddys going on the booze

Well, it was two rooms up and two rooms down
We were sentenced by the wrecking crane
Oh, I was born on the eve of Halloween

Snookeroo, snookeroo
Snookeroo, snookeroo
Snookeroos my name, yeah! |
Gullivers gone to the final command of his master
His watery eyes had washed all the hills with his laughter
And the seasons can change all the light from the grey to the dim
But the light in his eyes will see no more so bright
As the sheep that he locked in the pen
Theres four feet of ground in front of the barn
Thats sun baked and rain soaked and part of the farm
But now it lies empty so cold and so bare
Gullivers gone but his memory lies there
By passing the doors of his life was a stage I remember
And in later years he would cease to bare teeth to a stranger
For sentiment touched him as Cyclamen holds him
And later men came from the town
Who said clear the child this wont take a while
And Gullivers gone with the dawn
Theres four feet of ground in front of the barn
Thats sun baked and rain soaked and part of the farm
But now it lies empty so cold and so bare
Gullivers gone but his memory lies there |
Im stoned in the twilight
Screaming on the inside
Give me your water, help me survive
Going to miss the sunlight
When I lose my eyesight
Give me my red shoes, I want to dance
They search for an answer
But that old man wouldnt listen
Back then I was handsome
Back then he was ignorant
And shave off the years now, its all inside my head
The boy in the red shoes is dancing by my bed
Put them in a box somewhere, put them in a drawer
Take my red shoes, I cant wear them anymore
Had garlands in the wings back then
All the pretty little things back then
Calling out my name, oh what fame brings
After curtain calls and bows
I cant see the front row now
Hand me my red shoes just one more time
They pushed aside our presence
They refused to go the distance
Back then I was Sigmund
Back then he wouldnt listen
They pushed aside our presence
They refused to go the distance
Back then I was Sigmund
Back then he wouldnt listen
Put them in a box somewhere, put them in a drawer
Take my red shoes, I cant wear them anymore
I cant wear them anymore |
I remember when rock was young
Me and Suzie had so much fun
Holding hands and skimming stones
Had an old gold Chevy and a place of my own
But the biggest kick I ever got
Was doing a thing called the crocodile rock
While the other kids were rocking round the clock
We were hopping and bopping to the crocodile rock
Well crocodile rocking is something shocking
When your feet just cant keep still
Ill never knew me a better time and I guess I never will
Oh lawdy, mama, those Friday nights
When Suzie wore her dresses tight
And the crocodile rocking was out of sight
But the years went by and the rock just died
Suzie went and left us for some foreign guy
Long nights crying by the record machine
Dreaming of my Chevy and my old blue jeans
But theyll never kill the thrills weve got
Burning up to the crocodile rock
Learning fast as the weeks went past
We really thought the crocodile rock would last
Well crocodile rocking is something shocking
When your feet just cant keep still
Ill never knew me a better time and I guess I never will
Oh lawdy, mama, those Friday nights
When Suzie wore her dresses tight
And the crocodile rocking was out of sight
I remember when rock was young
Me and Suzie had so much fun
Holding hands and skimming stones
Had an old gold Chevy and a place of my own
But the biggest kick I ever got
Was doing a thing called the crocodile rock
While the other kids were rocking round the clock
We were hopping and bopping to the crocodile rock
Well crocodile rocking is something shocking
When your feet just cant keep still
Ill never knew me a better time and I guess I never will
Oh lawdy, mama, those Friday nights
When Suzie wore her dresses tight
And the crocodile rocking was out of sight |
Its hard to feel whats in your head
Where the gas lamps grow
And the garbage blows
Around the paper stands
And a baby cried
And I saw a light
And I wondered where
And I wondered why
Thered be a loss of life
Down here tonight
Down on Western Ford Gateway
Thats a place where the dead say
That a man lives no more
That his fair share of days
Down on Western Ford Gateway
It flowed upon the cobbled floor
For the bottles dead
And theyre drunk again
By the tavern door
And a baby cried
And I saw a light
And I wondered where
And I wondered why
Thered be a loss of life
Down here tonight
Down on Western Ford Gateway
Thats a place where the dead say
That a man lives no more
That his fair share of days
Down on Western Ford Gateway |
Jeg har aldrig regnet hyæner for vigtige
De har en rå og ubehøvlet natur
Men måske er alliancen den rigtige
Mellem dem og min kløgt og kultur
Jeg ved jeres åndlige kræfter
Hænger slapt som et vortesvins hud
Men prøv nu trods alt at hør efter
De guldkorn jeg her slipper ud
Jeg ved I er dumme kujoner
Der følger den gunstigste vind
Men det her gælder konger og troner
Selv hos jer må den sag trænge ind
Gør jer klar til at ta mod et tilbud
Gør jer klar til den store sentation
Vær med når vi glider
Mod strålende tider
Og hvor ka vi brilliere?
Vent der kommer mere
Det gir nok en dønning
Men i får belønning
Når jeg endlig har fået min ret
Og når uretten er gjort til nar
Gør jer klar
Ja gør os klar vi er klar øh.... til hvad?
Til konges død!
Hva er han syg?
Nej fjols, vi myrder ham og Simba med
Fed ide hva ska vi med en konge?
Ingen konge ingen konge lalalala
Idioter der skal være en konge!
Jamen du sagde da
Jeg skal være konge!
Hold jer til mig
Og I skal aldrig mere sulte igen
Ja, hurra, sådan, længe leve kongen
Længe leve kongen!
Det er klogt at stå bagved regenter
Der er sikre på magten som dig
Det er klart jeg til gengæld forventer
At I ordner lidt småting for mig
Der er gludstøv på fremtidens veje
Følg med hvis I selv stiler højt
Men jeg vil nu godt understrege
Uden mig får I ikke en døjt
Så gør jer klar til århundereds magtkamp
Gør jer rede til højforræderi
Usynlige lænker
De snedigste rænker
Ja planlæg fra bunden
Der i ligger grunden
Først jeg griber magten
Får æren og agten
Og endelig får vist mit geni
Jer er bid i de planer jeg har
Gør jer klar
Der er bid i de planer jeg har
Gør jer klar |
I cant control this flesh and blood
Thats wrapped around my bones
It moves beneath me, like a river
Into the great unknown
I stepped onto the moving stairs
Before I could tie my shoes
Pried a harp out the fingers of a renegade
Who lived and died the blues
La promessa non fu chiara
Serra solo impressa in me
Vidi solo il gelo dentro me
Quella notte dise a me
Vivrem comme cavalli
Liberi dai recinti di ferro
Che piu non voglio
Rinnegare i sensi
Su dai fuggiam
Vivrem comme cavalli
Were the victims of the heartbreak
That kept us short of breath
Trapped above these bloodless streets
Without a safety net
I stood in line to join the trial
One more customer of fate
Claimed a spoke in the wheel of a wagon train
On the road to the golden gate
Nel deserto la nave abbandonai
Per me aveva senso
Son stato troppo tempo nella bestia
Ed ora saro libero
Someday, well live like horses
Free rein from your old, iron fences
Theres more ways than one to regain your senses
Break out the stalls, and well live like horses someday
Liberi dai ricenti di ferro
Che piu non voglio
Rinnegare i sensi
Su dai fuggiam
Vivrem comme cavalli |
In the heart of every girl
Theres a woman waking up
Like sunlight spreads across the world
A smile for us is just enough
But in the heart of every girl
Theres a homespun family dream
A light thats filled with so much joy
From a curly-head beauty to a teenage queen
And honeymoons in summer prove
Well always love a bride
The gift you give us all
Is the one you hold inside
This lucky life, this crazy mixed up world
Is all because we love what lives
In the heart of every girl
In the heart of every girl
Theres always room for Valentines
And boys to kneel and tip their hands
With words as sweet as summer wine
And in the heart of every girl
There is a rose for every spring
A peach thats fragrant and divine
She shines just like a wedding ring
And honeymoons in summer prove
Well always love a bride
The gift you give us all
Is the one you hold inside
This lucky life, this crazy mixed up world
Is all because we love what lives
In the heart of every girl
Eyes can light up any room
The moment she steps in
Intoxicating everyone
A life alone should be a sin
And honeymoons in summer prove
Well always love a bride
The gift you give us all
Is the one you hold inside
This lucky life, this crazy mixed up world
Is all because we love what lives
In the heart of every girl |
Remember Belgium and the Brussels Museum
Where we piled on the front steps like stray cavaliers
Our code of living meant little to others
The few francs we saved bought some cheap souvenirs
But the red lights where the cat fights make it just like Belgium
See us face down on the floor of another cheap barroom
Streetwalkers sweet talk you out of your spare change
And your sweet madame makes it seem just like Belgium
Just like a hustler when they look attractive
Its nothing more than a slap on the back
The price tag of being just a little bit different
The first rule to learn is to keep your own distance
But the red lights where the cat fights make it just like Belgium
See us face down on the floor of another cheap barroom
Streetwalkers sweet talk you out of your spare change
And your sweet madame makes it seem just like Belgium
Just like Belgium
Oh, its just like Belgium
Isnt that just like Belgium
Oh, its just like Belgium
Isnt that just like Belgium |
We bet on our lives and we bet on the horses
In that upstairs apartment
On Orlando and 4th
And the rent was due and the rent man was knocking
Like a Chinese proverb
We were always searching
Nightlifes a no-win but nobody noticed
How we killed off the bottles
Looking good on the surface
The dog days barked and the house cat got old
We were Bonnie and Clyde
In the emperors new clothes
And the tears never came
They just stayed in our eyes
We refused to admit that we wore this disguise
Every inch of us growing
Like Pinocchios nose
As we walked around in the emperors new clothes
We flew by our wits and by the seat of our pants
In the state of illusion
In the nation of chance
And the repo was hauling the wreck wed been driving
As the dashboard Madonna
Smiled back at us kindly
We cheated the system never batting an eyelid
Seeing only the good
Through the holes in our shoes
And our halos were rusty but we wore them proudly
We were two little gods
In the emperors new clothes
We were Bonnie and Clyde
In the emperors new clothes
Emperors new clothes |
Its getting late have you seen my mates
Ma tell me when the boys get here
Its seven oclock and I want to rock
Want to get a belly full of beer
My old mans drunker than a barrel full of monkeys
And my old lady she dont care
My sister looks cute in her braces and boots
A handfull of grease in her hair
Dont give us none of your aggravation
We had it with your discipline
Saturday nights alright for fighting
Get a little action in
Get about as oiled as a diesel train
Gonna set this dance alight
Cause Saturday nights the night I like
Saturday nights alright alright alright
Well theyre packed pretty tight in here tonight
Im looking for a dolly wholl see me right
I may use a little muscle to get what I need
I may sink a little drink and shout out Shes with me!
A couple of the sound that I really like
Are the sounds of a switchblade and a motorbike
Im a juvenile product of the working class
Whose best friend floats in the bottom of a glass |
She packed my bags last night, pre-flight
Zero hour: 9:00 a.m
And Im gonna be high as a kite by then
I miss the Earth so much, I miss my wife
Its lonely out in space
On such a timeless flight
And I think its gonna be a long, long time
Til touchdown brings me round again to find
Im not the man they think I am at home
Oh no, no, no! Im a rocket man
Rocket man! Burning out his fuse up here alone
Mars aint the kind of place to raise your kids
In fact, its cold as hell
And theres no one there to raise them if you did
And all this science I dont understand
Its just my job five days a week
Rocket man! Rocket man!
And I think its gonna be a long, long time
Til touchdown brings me round again to find
Im not the man they think I am at home
Oh no, no, no! Im a rocket man
Rocket man! Burning out his fuse up here alone
And I think its gonna be a long, long time
Til touchdown brings me round again to find
Im not the man they think I am at home
Oh no, no, no! Im a rocket man
Rocket man! Burning out his fuse up here alone
And I think its gonna be a long, long time
And I think its gonna be a long, long time
And I think its gonna be a long, long time
And I think its gonna be a long, long time
And I think its gonna be a long, long time
And I think its gonna be a long, long time
And I think its gonna be a long, long time |
We follow the dog who follows the cat
We swallow the chain if they dont fight back
We come and go, just getting by
We got a flag on the moon, we got a hole in the sky
And each man kills the things he loves
Its an edible romance we all dream of
And love eats love, eats love
Love is a cannibal
Woman is a criminal
She have the hunger
But man is the animal
And love eats love, eats love
Love is a cannibal
We live in the woods but we hate the trees
We kill off the jungle but we save the leaves
The family face is painted grey |
Youve a certain sartorial eloquence
And a style thats almost of your own
Youve got the knack of being so laid-back
Its like talking to the great Unknown
Youve got a self-sufficient swept-back hairdo
Pretty certain that youve got it made
Oh your life-style shows in the clothes you chose
Sitting pretty in the masquerade
Sing it
Dont you want to play this game no more
Dont you want to play no more
Dont you want to play this game no more
Dont you want to play no more
You remain the only main contender
Though you never, you never meant to lose at all
Down at the mouth yet unsurrounded
Adamant before the fall
Though when you go you know I might be lonesome
But Ill keep it under close control
Go and get your kicks and babe lets call it quits
I believe Im feeling indisposed
Dont you want to play this game no more
When you go you know I might be lonesome
But Ill keep it under close control
Go and get your kicks and babe lets call it quits
I believe Im feeling indisposed
Dont you want to play this game
When you go you know I might be lonesome
But Ill keep it under close control
Go and get your kicks and babe, lets call that quits
I believe Im feeling indisposed, sing it
Dont you want to play no more |
Theres a calm surrender
To the rush of day
When the heat of the rolling world
Can be turned away
An enchanted moment
And it sees me through
Its enough for this restless warrior
Just to be with you
And can you feel the love tonight?
The peace the evening brings
The world for once in perfect harmony
With all its living things
And can you feel the love tonight?
You neednt look too far
Stealing through the nights uncertainties
Love is where we are
The world for once in perfect harmony
With all its living things
The world in perfect harmony with all its living things. That, my friends, is a time for joyous celebration. For when all things exist in balance it is then were all connected in the great Circle: The Circle of Life
From the day we arrive on the planet
And blinking step into the sun
Theres more to see than can ever be seen
More to do than can be ever be done
Theres far too much to take in here
More to find than can ever be found
But the sun rolling high through the sapphire sky
Keeps great and small on the endless round
Its the Circle of Life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
Til we find our place on the path unwinding
Yeah, yeah
In the Circle
The Circle of Life |
She packed my bags last night pre-flight
Zero hour nine a.m
And Im gonna be high as a kite by then
I miss the earth so much, I miss my wife
Its lonely out in space
On such a timeless flight
And I think its gonna be a long long time
Till touch down brings me round again to find
Im not the man they think I am at home
Oh no, no, no, Im a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone
Mars aint the kind of place to raise your kids
In fact, its cold as hell
And theres no one there to raise them if you did
And all this science I dont understand
Its just my job, five days a week
A rocket man, a rocket man
And I think its gonna be a long long time
Till touch down brings me round again
To find Im not the man they think I am at home
Oh no, no, no, Im a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone |
Dust settles on a thin cloud
Sends a fog drifting to a worn out crowd
Ive had my face in a mirror for twenty four hours
Staring at a line of white powder
High-priced madness pays the tab
Ive scraped too much of nothing from your plastic bag
Im a catatonic son of a bitch whos had
A touch too much of white powder
And shes a habit I cant handle
For a reason I cant say
Im in love with a wild white lady
Shes as sweet as the stories say
White powder, white lady
Youre one and the same
Come on down to my house wont you
And hit this boy again
White powder
White lady
Youre one and the same
Come on down to my house, wont you?
And hit this boy again
Shock waves to a tired brain
Sends that hungry lady to my door again
Shes my shelter from the storm when I feel the rain
Entertaining white powder
I feel Im dry-docked and tongue-tied
Heaven sends a stretcher for the kids to ride
I might just escape while the others might die
Riding on a high of white powder
I feel Im dry-docked and tongue-tied
Heaven sends a stretcher for the kids to ride
I might just escape while the others might die
Riding on a high of white powder
White powder
White lady
Hit this boy again |
The last I heard of you
You were somewhere on a cruise in Mediterranean
So imagine my surprise
To see you very much alive in the English rain again
And I can still recall wet afternoons
When we were small and simply childish
But youve created your own ghost
And the need you have is more than most to hide it
Oh, chameleon, youre stealing your way back into my eyes
Beyond a shadow of a doubt, youre a devil, youre a devil in disguise
Do you really change me or am I going crazy?
Chameleon, chameleon, chameleon, youre free again, my child
I remember still those lazy summer days
Wed kill out hunting danger
And we were alien to all outsiders
We had no desire to talk to strangers
Chameleon |
Mmm yeah
Well alright, yeah, well alright, yes , Alright yeah , well alright

Ive a constant ache in the morning light
Its on account of the night before
Some Park Lane lady in a shady bar
Took a fancy to the watch I wore
But I can still remember how she laughed at me
As I spun around and hit the bed
She said thank you honey, forget about the money
This pretty watchll do instead
City living woman, youre so static
Matching your men with a hook and eye
If youre gonna spend the summer in New York City
Them women oh oh oh theyre gonna slice your pie
Said youre so static, baby Ive had it
Rolling in a yellow cab
Downtown hustlers trying to pull some muscle
If they catch you, oh oh oh it could turn out bad
Its a show me what you want, Ill show you what Ive got
I can show you a real good time
Shes a friend indeed of a friend in need
But youll be sorry when she leaves you crying |
Take a look at me now and take a taste of the money
Im not in it for the bread Im in it for the gravy, honey
Step on the thin ice lightly
And check out the show twice nightly
Cause Im on the stage tonight
And if the price is right
I will amaze before the light I crave the light
Blinding white I need the light tonight
Take a look at me now and take a look at my billing
Im not in it as an extra, Im in it for the killing
Inflate my ego gently, tell them heaven sent me
Cause Im so expressive and Im so obsessed with my ego
My ego and its message
Oh inform the press, invite the guests
I need the press tonight
Do you remember acting out your youth
A Romeo resplendent on an orange case
Do you remember how I would recite
And how Id blow my lines and hide my face
Well maybe it was childish, foolish, before schoolish
Immaturish, lose your coolish
But I had to grow and prove my ego
Take a look at me now and take a taste of the money
Im not in it for the bread Im in it for the gravy, honey
Inflate my ego gently, tell them heaven sent me
Oh cause Im so expressive and Im so obsessed with my ego
My ego and its message
Oh inform the press, invite the guests
I need the press tonight
Do you remember acting out your youth
A Romeo resplendent on an orange case
Do you remember how I would recite
And how Id blow my lines and hide my face
Well maybe it was childish, foolish, before schoolish
Immaturish, lose your coolish
Childish , foolish , before schoolish
Immaturish, lose your coolish
But I, I had to grow to prove my ego |
Sometimes you dream, sometimes it seems
Theres nothing there at all
You just seem older than yesterday
And youre waiting for tomorrow to call
So, you draw to the curtains and one things for certain
Youre cozy in your little room
The carpets all paid for, God bless the TV
Lets go shoot a hole in the moon
Oh, and Roy Rogers is riding tonight
Returning to our silver screens
Comic book characters never grow old
Evergreen heroes whose stories were told
Oh, the great sequin cowboy who sings of the plains
Of roundups and rustlers and home on the range
Turn on the TV, shut out the lights
Roy Rogers is riding tonight
Nine oclock mornings, and five oclock evenings
Id liven up the pace if I could
Oh, Id rather have a ham on my sandwich than cheese
But complaining wouldnt do you no good
So I laid my chair, close my eyes and think clear
I can hear hoof-beats ahead
Cause Roy and Trigger have just hit the hilltop
And everyone else is in bed
Oh, and Roy Rogers is riding tonight
Returning to our silver screens
Comic book characters never grow old
Evergreen heroes whose stories were told
Oh, the great sequin cowboy who sings of the plains
Of roundups and rustlers and home on the range
So turn on the TV, and shut out the lights
Roy Rogers is riding tonight
Tonight
Turn on the TV, and shut out the lights
Roy Rogers is riding tonight |

Yell help, too many cooks and a bird in the bush, yell help
Yell help, if your mirror busts and your cat gets cussed, yell help
Because down the road you find someone else whos looking
Down the road you find another sweet lady cooking
So i gotta yell help
Yell help, some shelter from the storm like the travel agent warned
Yell help, if you can help your superstitions they gonna keep you warm
Because down the road you find someone else whos looking
Down the road you seen another sweet lady cooking
So i gotta yell help
I wish tonight wasnt wednesday night
I wish it wasnt the thirteenth of july
And youre looking at the guy whose eyes cant deny
That he wishes he were somewhere else tonight
Well i met this woman down in new orleans
Lord she built just like a dream
Even wore stockings that had seams
And she was ugly
Now hell i dont mind women of her kind
Ill even pay sometimes for a woman thats ugly
She built like a steamroller
Just the kind to mow you over anytime
Hey the moment might arrive
On bourbon street
Well the ugliest woman youll ever meet
But shes mine all mine and shes ugly
So i better yell help
Yell Help! |
Being wiry and thinking loudly
About the things sent to make you move
You cant help it, theres no one in the world
Knows you just, just the way you do
So we keep darting through the holes
As the hunter and the fox
Run the gauntlets savage road
Winters heavy and partly cloudy
And the snowfall leaves the tracks that catch a few
Bit if youre wiley, you will leave them lying
Snared up in the traps that they set for you
And its an evergreen affair
As temptation taunts the fox
Into the hunters waiting lair
And for mile after mile youll never see me tire
Youll never see me slow down, for a while
Because I am the fox, like it or not
Im always going to be there running over the rock
Yes I am the fox, a fascinating cross
Of sharp as a whip and tough as an ox
Yes I am the fox
It may sound crazy but its often lonely
And the restless heart should be captured once in a while
Then you can use them, and you often fool them
Into believing whatever you desire
So Ill keep moving through the night
The hunter and the hunted
On their designated flights
The designated flights |
I used to know this old scarecrow
My joy and sorrow
Cast alone between the furrows
No longer sown by anyone
Sad, so sad
Sad, so sad
Beneath these branches
I once wrote such childish words for you
I held a dandelion
When summer burned the earth again
Sad, so sad
Sad, so sad...
No longer sown by anyone
Sad, so sad
Sad, so sad... |
Saw a Cadillac for the first time yesterday
Id always seen horses, buggies, bales of hay
Because progress here, dont move with modern times
Theres nothing to steal
So, theres not a great deal of crime
It sure is hell living in a one horse town
Theres half a mile of Alabama mud bed ground
Nothing much doing of an afternoon
Unless youre sitting in a rocking chair, just picking a tune
And they arent too well acquainted with the stars and stripes
But if you want to hear Susanna, then theyll pick all night
Theyll pick all night
Because its no dice living in a one horse town
Laid back, as my old coon hound
And I just cant wait to get out of this one horse town
Theres nothing to steal cause theres simply nothing much around |
Its a human sign
When things go wrong
When the scent of her lingers
And temptations strong
Into the boundary
Of each married man
Sweet deceit comes calling
And negativity lands
Cold, cold heart
Hardened by you
Some things look better, baby
Just passing through
But its no sacrifice
Just a simple word
Its two hearts living
In two separate worlds
But its no sacrifice
No sacrifice
Its no sacrifice, at all
Mutual misunderstanding
After the fact
Sensitivity builds a prison
In the final act
We lose direction
No stone unturned
No tears to damn you
When jealousy burns
Cold, cold heart
Hardened by you
Some things look better, baby
Just passing through
But its no sacrifice
Just a simple word
Its two hearts living
In two separate worlds
And its no sacrifice
No sacrifice
Its no sacrifice, at all
Cold, cold heart
Hardened by you
Some things look better, baby
Just passing through
And its no sacrifice
Just a simple word
Its two hearts living
In two separate worlds
And its no sacrifice
No sacrifice
Its no sacrifice, at all
No sacrifice, at all
No sacrifice, at all
No sacrifice, at all |
Some lie about who they love
Some lie about the truth
Some lie to save their lives
Some lie about their youth
Some lie about age and beauty
The conquest of sex
Most lie about the night before
A woman lies for a party dress
Ive lied for a stolen moment
Ive lied for one more clue
Ive lied about most everything
But I never lied to you
And we lie, lie, lie
On a streetcar named desire
Oh we lie, lie, lie
For that sweet bird of youth
I could be great like Tennessee Williams
If I could only hear something
That sounds like the truth
Some lie in the face of death
Some lie about their fame
Some kneel and lie to God
Some lie about their name
Some lie in words and speeches
With every living breath
The young lie with their guitars
The old lie for a little respect
Ive lied to lie with danger
Ive lied for a drug or two
Ive lied about most everything
But I never lied to you
And we lie, lie, lie
On a streetcar named desire
Oh we lie, lie, lie
For that sweet bird of youth
I could be great like Tennessee Williams
If I could only hear something
That sounds like the truth
Ive lied for a stolen moment
Ive lied for one more clue
Ive lied about most everything
But I never lied to you
And we lie, lie, lie
On a streetcar named desire
Oh we lie, lie, lie
For that sweet bird of youth
I could be great like Tennessee Williams
If I could only hear something
That sounds like the truth |
Bound, I am bound, like a knot on a string
Eager to be where my life can begin
Out of the shadow and into the sun
So many things that I should have done
I will untangle myself, so that I can see
I will untangle myself, everything will be
Loving and free
Bound I am bound, like a rope on a swing
Up in the air and then down again
Sure for the first time so clear in my mind
Wise to the feeling I gently unwind
Bound I am bound, ro remember your smile
Something so special doesnt fade away
Sadness is sweet when youve gone for a while
When I see you therell be a lot to say |
He died when the house was empty
When the maid had gone
He put a pen to paper for one final song
He wrote, oh babe, its the only way
I know its wrong but I cant stand
To go on living
To go on living
Living life this way
And I dont know what the time is
Or what the next line is
Or how youre gonna take the news
But if I had my life again
I wouldnt change a thing
Id let nobody, Id let nobody
Stand inside my shoes
Oh
Somethings gotten hold of me
This home is not the home it used to be
Ive gathered dust
Like the dying flowers
And Ive drunk myself sober
After hours and hours
Oh
Somethings gotten hold of me
This home is not the home it used to be
Ive gathered dust
Like the dying flowers
And Ive drunk myself sober
After hours and hours
Oooooooh
After hours and hours |
I lived in a tenement six floors above
I lent you my records and I lent you my love
But you left me on the weekend without a by-your-leave
Thats a dirty and a low-down trick
My folks all think youre mean
But I dont mind, thats kind of nifty
You always set those break-ups in the movies
And just like a light honey you put me out
Now Im gonna do my best
To get you back in the nest you came from
You can erase me if you want to
Turn your back in other men
But whenever youre ready
Honey, well go steady again
Its nasty without you in my little room
I miss you like crazy, please come back soon
I was joking with those things I said
I couldnt have been thinking
If you dont come back I think Ill crack
Just like my old ceiling |
Have you seen the North
That cold grey place
Dont want its shadow anymore
On my face
A man grows bitter
Were a bitter race
Some of us never get to see
A better place
In the Northern Skies
There was a steel cloud
It used to follow me around
But I dont see it now
Theres a farm in the rain
And a little farmhouse
There were a young mans eyes
Looking south
The North was my mother
But I no longer need her
You trade your roots and your dust
For a face in the river
And a driven rain that washes you
To a different shore
Theres a North in us all
But my North cant hold me anymore |
She chose the soft center
And took it to bed with her mother
And the ideal confusion
Was just an illusion
To gain further news of her brother
And the comfort of mother
Was just an appeal for protection
For the cat from next door
Was found later at four
In surgical dissection
And I dont want to be
The son of any freak
Who for a chocolate center
Can take you off the street
For soon theyll plough the desert
And God knows where Ill be
Collecting submarine numbers
On the main street of the sea
The Vicar is thicker
And I just cant see through to him
For his cardinal sings
A collection of hymns
And a collection of coins is made after
And who wrote the Bible
Was it Judas or Pilate
Well one cleans his hands
While the other one hangs
But still I continue to stand
And I dont want to be
The son of any freak
Who for a chocolate center
Can take you off the street
For soon theyll plough the desert
And God knows where Ill be
Collecting submarine numbers
On the main street of the sea |
Look at me twice with wildcat eyes
Promise me everything except a blue night
Shudder like ice in cut crystal glass
Melt in embraces of crazy eyed past
And whisper, whisper, whispering whispers
Tantamount to a lie with lingering breath
Walking fingers run, hungry scratches left
Dull chimes ringing like an empty voice
A distant smile framed, her lips are soft and moist
With whispers, whispers, whispering whispers
And whisper in a rhythm your lies
Keep comfort for others
Hurt me with the night
Whisper like cold winds close to the bone
Save heaven for lovers, leave me alone
With your whispers, whispers, whispering whispers |
Youre cruel, you do
You do, you do me wrong
You hurt me, you flirt with
Any old face that comes along
But I wont be your whipping boy
No I wont be your whipping boy
Break me like a little toy
Run me till my feet are sore
But I wont be your whipping boy
Youre wild, youre sly
What you done to me
I was thirty, I look like fifty
But I feel like sixty three
Its this illegal kind of loving
That keeps my motor running
From the start to the finish line
Its a trashy kind of me that likes to believe
That Im still trying, Im still trying
Im still trying, yes Im trying
Youre dirty, but youre worth it
But youre way, youre way too young
I could do time if they found out
Look out, San Quentin here I come
I wont be your whipping boy |
Showboat coming up the river
See her lanterns flicker in the gentle breeze
I can hear the crickets singing in the evening
Old Dixie Lily moving past the cypress trees
My little boat she rocks easy
Ive been catching catfish in the creek all day
Oh and Ive never seen ladies like those on the big boats
Must be fancy breeding lets you live that way
Dixie Lily, chugging like a grand old lady
Paddles hitting home in the noonday sun
Ploughing through the water with your whistles blowing
Down from Louisiana on the Vicksburg run
Papa says that Im a dreamer
Says them skeetas bit me one too many times
Oh but I never get lonesome living on the river
Watching old Lily leave the world behind |
Shoorah
She grows, shes grown like pampas
Tall in the wind, shes simple and spiteful
Shes all girl, woman and mother
Shes had my children and shes been my lover
No no no no, no no, she dont like to fight it
Once youve been bitten, you get excited
Ma-ma-ma-ma-mama, she really likes her
She comes for coffee, and my mama asked me
So wheres the shoorah she sang?
You know I hear it again, my friend
Wheres the shoorah, she came upon it
Waiting to sing her back
Because she likes to sing about
Wheres the shoorah she sang?
Over and over and over
Wheres the shoorah she sang?
Shoorah
Oh, Shoorah
Shoorah |
Its getting late, have you seen my mates?
Go on, tell me when the boys get here
Its seven oclock and I want to rock
I want to get a belly full of beer
My old mans drunker than a barrel full of monkeys
And my old lady, she dont care
My sister looks cute in her braces and boots
And a handful of grease in her hair
Hey, dont give us none of your aggravation
Weve had it with your discipline
Saturday nights alright for fighting, get a little action in
I get about as oiled as a diesel train, gonna set this dance alight
Cause Saturday nights the night I like
Saturday nights alright, alright, alright
Well, theyre packed pretty tight in here tonight
And Im looking for a dolly wholl see me right
I may use a little muscle to get what I need
And sink a little drink and shout, Shes with me!
A couple of the sounds that I really like
Are the sound of a switchblade and a motorbike
Im a juvenile product of the working class
Whose best friend floats in the bottom of a glass
But dont, dont give us none of your aggravation, weve had it with your discipline
Saturday nights alright for fighting, to get a little action in
I get about as oiled as a diesel train, gonna set this dance alight
Saturday nights the night I like
Saturday nights alright, alright, alright
Saturday nights alright, alright, alright
Saturday, Saturday, Saturday!
Saturday, Saturday, Saturday!
Saturday, Saturday, Saturday!
Saturday, Saturday!
Take me to the pilot, lead me through the chamber
Take me to the pilot, I am but a stranger
Take me to the pilot, lead me through the chamber
Take me to the pilot, I am but a stranger
Na na na, na na na
Na na na, na na na na na
Na na na, na na na
Na na na, na na na na na
Ooh yeah!
Saturday, Saturday!
Saturday, Saturday!
Saturday, Saturday!
Saturday, Saturday!
I cant wait for Saturday!
Saturday, Saturday, Saturday!
Saturday, Saturday, Saturday!
Saturday, Saturday, Saturday!
Saturday, Saturday, Saturday!
I cant wait for Saturday night night night night night |
Say that boys a wonderment
No! The kids a freak
But that kid he dont care none
His black hands resting on the keys
Hopping like a big old frog
And hissing like a train
Entertaining royalty
All points east, west and in-between
General hes a fine old man
Treat him like his own
Boy wouldnt know from money
Just throw old Blind Tom a bone
From the times of King Cotton
May we present to you
All you Jim Crow monkeys
From Harlan County down to Tuscaloo
Pay me anything you like
Ill pay it back to you
Be careful what you call me though
Some things cut clear on through
I may be an idiot
I may be a savant
I didnt choose this life for me
But its something that I want
Cocks that old big head aside
Grunts a word or two
Keeps them guessing every night
Is he really going to make it through
Faint hearts with their fans out
Starched collars and cigars
He werent no use for slaving
I wouldnt want him in my yard |
Look up little brother
Can you see the clover
No not over there
A little bit left and over there
Now look and see the lilac tree
The lily pond, the skylarks song
The open air but no one cares
If branches live and die out there
Remember when you were nine
And I was ten
We would run into the wood
No we never will again
And Lady, whats tomorrow
Whats tomorrow anyway
If its not the same as now
Its the same as yesterday
Yes Lady, whats tomorrow
Will it be the same as now
Will the farmer push the pen
Will the writer pull the plough
Look up little brother
Can you see the clover
Oh sorry but its over
Now theres concrete and no clover
Remember when you were nine
And I was ten
We would run into the wood
No we never will, we never will again
And Lady, whats tomorrow
Whats tomorrow anyway
If its not the same as now
Its the same as yesterday
Yes Lady, whats tomorrow
Will it be the same as now
Will the farmer push the pen
Will the writer pull the plough
Oh Lady, whats tomorrow |
This is my house
This is where I live
That is the winter
Those are the trees
I can hear them breathe
This is my bed
This is where I sleep
That was the dark
Those are my dreams
They belong to me
This is my floor
This is where I lie
This is a square room
That was a bright light
These are not my eyes
What is my soul
Where is my tired heart
That is the question
Where is the answer
Inside my house
And I sit by the window
And I wish I was rain
I want to fall from the sky
I want to get wet all over again
Because this my house
It belongs to me
Inside my head
Its all thats left
This is my house
This is my house |
Baby youre missing something in the air
I got a name but it dont matter
Whats going on? Its cold in here
You have a life but its torn and tattered
Maybe youre losing pieces of your heart
You have a world but it stopped turning
You lose the day and gain the dark
Love was a fire but it stopped burning
Spare your heart, save your soul
Dont drag your love across the coals
Find your feet and your fortune can be told
Release, relax, let go
And hey now lets recover your soul
Lazy old sunset sinking like a tear
Alone at night in a losing battle
That perfect world is never clear
You have to fight for the things that matter
Hey now lets recover
Hey now lets recover your soul
And hey now lets recover your soul |
Oh, oh, oh, oh yeah yeah yeah
Ooh, yeah yeah, oh
Ooh baby
Ooh baby, mmm
In this world its hard, you know
Lovers come and lovers go
People never seem to hold on to what theyve got, no no
Some they never stay together
You and I will be no better
We can make it last forever
We can keep this love alive
Through the storm
Through the tears
You and I
I know we can survive
To the day
Through the night
If we try we can keep it alive
We can keep it alive
I know sometimes its been so tough
Weve been so close to giving up
Hey, but our loves so strong
And we keep holding on, yeah
To what we got, ooh ooh ooh
Its easier to walk away
It takes a lot of love to stay
Ah, weve got all the love it takes
We know theres a brighter day
Through the storm
Through the tears
You and I
I know we can survive
To the day
Through the night
If we try we can keep it alive
We can keep it alive
We just gotta be strong
We just gotta be strong
We just gotta be strong together
We just gotta hold on
We just gotta hold on
We just gotta hold on and go through the storm
Yeah yeah, through the storm
Oh, yeah yeah yeah
I know were gonna make it
Through the storm
Through the tears
You and I
I know we can survive
To the day
Through the night
If we try we can keep it alive
We can keep it alive
Through the storm
Through the tears
You and I
I know we can survive
To the day
Through the night
If we try we can keep it alive
We can keep it alive
Through the storm
Ha, woo
Youre right on the one, baby
Yep
We made it
Were outta here
Yes
Sing it
Dee-dee, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Dee-dee, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Dee-dee, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo |
Well, she swept through the church
Like a sweet Sunday prayer
While the choir sang Son of Heaven
And the groom just walked on air
I was killing time with Jesus
When the wedding bells began
And I saw the most beautiful woman
Getting married to a handsome man
She walked like a mystery
And she passed like summer rain
And she said I do like an angel
But I never knew her name
Oh, the congregation gathered
But in darkness I remained
In love with the bride of a handsome man
But I never knew her name
In the shadow of the holy
Oh, I heard my tell-tale heart
Whisper words that never reached her
As her vows were made at last
Oh, the preacher with his blessing
Pronounced them man and wife
And I saw the most beautiful woman
Make a promise to be kept for life
She walked like a mystery
And she passed like summer rain
And she said I do like an angel
But I never knew her name
Oh, the congregation gathered
But in darkness I remained
In love with the bride of a handsome man
But I never knew her name
She walked like a mystery
And she passed like summer rain
And she said I do like an angel
But I never knew her name
Oh, the congregation gathered
But in darkness I remained
In love with the bride of a handsome man
But I never knew her name
Like a mystery
Like summer rain
And she said I do like an angel
But I never knew her name
Oh, the congregation gathered
But in darkness I remained
In love with the bride of a handsome man
Oh! Im in love with the bride of a handsome man
But I never knew her name
Never knew her name
Never knew her name
I never knew her name |
I wont see you until Christmas
I breathe coal dust, I get blisters
But the foreman he dont worry
He say work, boy, theres no hurry
Dont that big red sun
Look a lot like fire
When you come out of the ground
After 48 hours
Going down down down down down
Going down in Durban deep
Going down down down down down
Theres no mercy in my sleep
I just hear that drill and hammer
I feel the killing heat
Going two miles down to the heart
Of Durban deep
I was born on amen corner
I pound rock face, I get lonely
But my family, they go hungry
Sill the boss man he call us lazy
Dont the old blue heaven
Look a lot like your eyes
When youre blinded by the brightness
Of the Transvaal sky
Going down down down down down
Going down in Durban deep
Going down down down down down
Theres no mercy in my sleep
I just hear that drill and hammer
I feel the killing heat
Going two miles down to the heart
Of Durban deep
Going down down down down down
Going down in Durban deep
Going down down down down down
Theres no mercy in my sleep
I just hear that drill and hammer
I feel the killing heat
Going two miles down to the heart
Of Durban deep |
I found a black beret on the street today
It was lying in the gutter all torn
Theres a white flag flying on a tall building
But the kids just watch the storm
Their dirty faces pressed on the windows
Shattered glass before their eyes
Theres a mad dog barking in a burned out subway
Where the sniper sleeps at night
No birthday songs to sing again
Just bricks and stones to give them
Wrap them up in your fathers flags
And let them cry to heaven
No birthday songs to sing again
Just bricks and stones to give them
Wrap them up in your fathers flags
And let them cry to heaven
There are many graves by a cold lake
As the beds were when your babies are born
And your rag doll sits with a permanent grin
I saw a black cat tease a white mouse
Until he killed it with his claws
Seems a lot of countries do the same thing
Before they go to war
No birthday songs to sing again
Just bricks and stones to give them
Wrap them up in your fathers flags
And let them cry to heaven
No birthday songs to sing again
Just bricks and stones to give them
Wrap them up in your fathers flags
And let them cry to heaven
Let them cry to Heaven
Let them cry to Heaven
Let them cry to Heaven |
I saw you dancing out the ocean
Running fast along the sand
A spirit born of earth and water
Fire flying from your hands
In the instant that you love someone
In the second that the hammer hits
Reality runs up your spine
And the pieces finally fit
And all I ever needed was the one
Like freedom fields where wild horses run
When stars collide like you and I
No shadows block the sun
Youre all Ive ever needed
Baby youre the one
There are caravans we follow
Drunken nights in dark hotels
When chances breathe between the silence
Where sex and love no longer gel, oh
For each man in his time is Cain
Until he walks along the beach
And sees his future in the water
A long lost heart within his reach
And all I ever needed was the one
Like freedom fields where wild horses run
When stars collide like you and I
No shadows block the sun
Youre all Ive ever needed
Uh, baby youre the one
And all I ever needed was the one
Like freedom fields where wild horses run
When stars collide like you and I
No shadows block the sun
Youre all Ive ever needed
Uh, baby youre the one
And all I ever needed was the one
Like freedom fields where wild horses run
When stars collide like you and I
No shadows block the sun
Youre all Ive ever needed
Uh, baby youre the one |
Nostradamus said, I predict
That the world will end at half past six
What he didnt say was exactly when
Was he listening to the radio?
Was he listening to the government?
Well he got us spooked anyway
Wed been running hot up until today
But a wind of change blew across our sales
We were coasting on a winning streak
We were kings until the power failed
Weve been living in a tinderbox
And two sparks can set the whole thing off
Rubbing up together around the clock
Lately weve been getting more roll than rock
You and me together in a tinderbox
Two sparks can set the whole thing off
Rubbing up together around the clock
Lately weve been getting more roll than rock
You and me together in a tinderbox
Godzilla came in disguise
Tore the building down right before our eyes
Kept the needle out of the red balloon
Was he worried we might go too far
Maybe wind up rhyming moon and June
The sun descends down in Mexico
While a fancy car back on Savile Row
Shows the price of fame leads to overkill
Things are going to have to change
Some holes along the road get filled
Pressures going to cook us if we dont unlock it
Guns going off if we dont uncock it
Weve got to climb out of the other ones pocket
Or were going to burn, out on this beautiful rocket |
Whenever I hear good-byes
Reminds me baby of you
I break down and cry
Next time Ill be true, yeah
Feels as if we lost romance
Reminds me baby of you
I took a crazy chance
The next time Ill be true, Ill be true, Ill be true
Footsteps on the dance-floor
Remind me baby of you
Teardrops in my eyes
Next time Ill be true, yeah
Whispers in the back room
She cries on every tune, every tune, every tune
And the music dont feel like it did when I felt it with you
Nothing that I do or feel ever feels like I felt it with you
When Im dancing round
Remind me baby of you
I really let you down
Next time Ill be true, Ill be true
Footsteps on the dance-floor
Remind me baby of you
Teardrops in my eyes
Next time Ill be true, yeah
Whispers in the back room
She cries on every tune, every tune
And the music dont feel like it did when I felt it with you
Nothing that I do or feel ever feels like I felt it with you
And the music dont feel like it did when I felt it with you
Nothing that I do or feel ever feels like I felt it with you
Hurting deep inside, she cries on every tune
I break down and cry, she cries on every tune, every tune, every tune
Footsteps on the dance-floor remind me baby of you
Teardrops in my eyes, next time Ill be true yeah
Whispers in the powder room, she cries on every tune, every tune, every tune
And the music dont feel like it did when i felt it with you
Nothing that i do or feel ever feels like i felt it with you
And the music dont feel like it did when i felt it with you
Nothing that i do or feel ever feels like i felt it with you
Feels as if we lost romance
I took a crazy chance
Lovers holding hand
Remind me baby of you
Next time, Ill be true |
I cant light no more of your darkness
All my pictures seem to fade to black and white
Im growing tired, time stands still before me
Frozen here on the ladder of my life
Too late to save myself from falling
I took a chance and changed your way of life
But you misread my meaning when I met you
Closed the door and left me blinded by the light
Dont let the sun go down on me
Although I search myself, its always someone else I see
Id just allow a fragment of your life to wander free
But losing everything is like the sun going down on me
I cant find, oh, the right romantic line
But see me once, see the way I feel
Dont discard me just because you think I mean you harm
But these cuts I have, oh, they need love, help them heal
Dont let the sun go down on me
Although I search myself, its always someone else I see
Id just allow a fragment of your life to wander free
But losing everything is like the sun going down on me
Dont let the sun go down on me
Although I searched myself, its always someone else I see
Id just allow a fragment of your life to wander free
Losing everything is like the sun going down on me
Losing everything is like the sun going down on me |
Its paradise here where the sun meets the sea
Theres nothing to fear and so much to be
But soon I must go, say goodbye to it all
That homeland of mine is beginning to call
Goodbye doesnt mean this has to be the end
Fading dreams grow cold as ice
And I got a feeling we will meet again
When we return to paradise
The wind in our hair and the sun in our eyes
Theres no need for tears and no time for lies
So reach out your hand and Ill reach out my heart
Remember me while we are apart
Im heading homeward
Leaving sunshine and heading for rain
But well return to paradise again |
I remember when rock was young
Me and Susie had so much fun
Holding hands and skimming stones
Had an old gold Chevy and a place of my own
But the biggest kick I ever got
Was doin a thing called Crocodile Rock
While the other kids were rocking round the clock
We were hopping and bopping to the Crocodile Rock
Well, Crocodile Rockin is something shocking
When your feet just cant keep still
I never knew me a better time and I guess I never will
Oh, Lawdy Mama, those Friday nights
When Susie wore her dresses tight
And the Crocodile Rocking was-a out of sight
La la la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la
But the years went by and the rock just died
Susie went and left us for some foreign guy
Long nights crying by the record machine
Dreaming of my Chevy and my old blue jeans
But theyll never kill the dreams weve got
Burning up to the Crocodile Rock
Learning fast as the weeks went past
We really thought that Crocodile Rock would last
Well, Crocodile Rockin is something shocking
When your feet just cant keep still
I never knew me a better time and I guess I never will
Oh, Lawdy Mama, those Friday nights
When Susie wore her dresses tight
And the Crocodile Rocking was-a out of sight
La la la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la
I remember when rock was young
Me and Susie had so much fun
Holding hands and skimming stones
Had an old gold Chevy and a place of my own
But the biggest kick I ever got

We were hopping and bopping to the Crocodile Rock
Well, Crocodile Rockin is something shocking

I never knew me a better time and I guess I never will
Oh, Lawdy Mama, those Friday nights

Hello
Hello
Hello, I said hello
Is this the only place you felt to go?
Am I the only man you ever had?
Or am I just the last surviving friend?
Hello
Baby, hello
Open up your heart & let your feelings flow
Youre not unlucky knowing me
Keeping the speed real slow
Hello
You know what I mean. Have your eyes & you will see x |
One by one, they followed the sun
One by one, until there were none
Two by two, to their lovers they flew
Two by two, into the foggy dew
Three by three, they danced on the sea
Four by four, they danced on the shore
Five by five, they tried to survive
Six by six, they were playing with tricks
How many paths did they try and fail?
How many of their brothers and sisters lingered in jail?
How much poison did they inhale?
How many black cats crossed their trail?
Seven by seven, they headed for heaven
Eight by eight, they got to the gate
Nine by nine, they drank the wine
Ten by ten, they drank it again
How many tomorrows have they given away?
How many compared to yesterday?
How many more without any reward?
How many more can they afford?
Two by two, they stepped into the ark
Two by two, they step in the dark
Three by three, they’re turning the key
Four by four, they turn it some more
One by one, they follow the sun
Two by two, to another rendezvous |

And youll find someone, yeah Im praying
Shell be better than me, I know Ill be pleased

So glad we made it
The voice in my head was right
Shell be better than me, I know Ill be pleased
I promise you that Im not fake

Dont look over your shoulder
Just keep walking away
We can breathe now, its over
And erase all the pain |
Once Upon A Dream - Sleeping Beauty
I know you, I walked with you once upon a dream
I know you, that look in your eyes is so familiar a gleam
And I know its true that visions are seldom all they seem
But if I know you, I know what youll do
Youll love me at once, the way you did once upon a dream
Youll Be In My Heart - Tarzan
Youll be in my heart
Yes, youll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forevermore
Youll be in my heart
No matter what they say
Youll be here in my heart, always
Part of Your World - The Little Mermaid
I want to be where the people are
I want to see
Want to see em dancin
Walkin around on those
oh - feet
Up where they walk
Up where they run
Up where they stay all day in the sun
Wandering free
Wish I could be
Part of that world
A Whole New World - Aladdin
I can show you the world
Shining, shimmering, splendid
Tell me, princess, now when did
You last let your heart decide?
A whole new world
A dazzling place I never knew
But when Im away up here
Its crystal clear
That now Im in a whole new world with you
Now Im in a whole new world with you
How Far Ill Go - Moana
See the line where the sky meets the sea?
It calls me
And no one knows
How far it goes
If the wind in my sail on the sea
Stays behind me
One day Ill know
How far Ill go...
Into The Unknown - Frozen II
Into the unknown
Into the unknown
Into the unknown
Oooh... Ooh...
Circle of Life - The Lion King
Ingonyama nengw enamabala
Ingonyama nengw enamabala
Its the circle of life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
Till we find our place
On a path unwinding
In the circle
The circle of life
Ingonyama nengw enamabala |
Whys it never light on my lawn
Why does it rain and never say good-day to the new-born
On the big screen they showed us the sun
But not as bright in life as the real one
Its never quite the same as the real one
I never learned why meteors were formed
I only farmed in schools that were so warn and torn
If anyone can cry then so can I
I read books and draw life from the eye
All my life is drawings from the eye
Your mission bells were wrought by ancient men
The roots were formed by twisted roots
Your roots were twisted then
I was re-born before all life could die
The Phoenix bird will leave this world to fly
If the Phoenix bird can fly then so can I |
For our world, the circle turns again
Throughout the year weve seen the seasons change
Its meant a lot to me to start anew
Oh the winters cold but Im so warm with you
Out there theres not a sound to be heard
And the seasons seem to sleep upon their words
As the waters freeze up with the summers end
Oh its funny how young lovers start as friends
Yes its funny how young lovers start as friends |
I know you
Youre trying to do all you can for me
I appreciate your help
But its best just to leave me be
Theres many things that I have done
And Im sorry for them now
So darling please dont you comfort me
Ill sort it out somehow
So sing me no sad songs, tell me no lies
Please dont you make me blue
Sing me no sad songs, tell me no lies
Girl I can do without you
Dont go breaking my heart
It would tear me apart
Cause then Id be finished for good
So sing me no sad songs, tell me no lies
Please dont you make me blue
I dont want you to think Im mean
Refusing all your help
The time has come, but my need is none
And I want to be alone with myself
Theres many things that I have done
And Im sorry for them now
So darling please dont you comfort me |
Youre a cool little one
My dark southern breeze
Sweeps through my fingers
And it amazes me
Dixie shadowland
Your envy shelters me
Lay down your burden
Mystery of ebony
And it amazes me
Oh! It amazes me
Maybe the heat babe could be this tune
It amazes me
It amazes me
What drives me crazy
Is that big fat yellow moon
Look up that pale light
Well shes waking the trees
Im drifting in your hoodoo
And it amazes me
That magnolia state
Got a hold on me
I got no blues to preach
Just Mississippi company
There is no magic potion
No gri-gri on her side
Shes bound to my salvation
Sweet little mama
Take me down by the river tonight
And it amazes me |
There she stumbles, falling to her knees
I think she tripped on reality
I have witnessed, tragic comedies
Thats the world in which she leads
Well i would walk a million miles
To give her, all that she needs
But she would a walk a million more
To do what she believes
Shell have a perfect day
Troubles blooming, innocence will fade
Still, shes dry through all the rain
There;s no purpose, she has yet to crave
Shes like the big dog on parade
Well i would walk a million miles
To give her, all that she needs
She would walk a million more
To do well as she pleased
She had a perfect day
I cant figure this one out
Ive no words here to explain
Shell just sugar kiss me off
Shell just have another perfect day |
The roses in the window box
Have tilted to one side
Everything about this house
Is gonna grow and die
Oh it doesnt seem a year ago to this very day
You said Im sorry honey
If I dont change the pace
I cant face another day
And love lies bleeding in my hand
Oh it kills me to think of you with another man
I was playing rock and roll and you were just a fan
But my guitar couldnt hold you so I split the band
Love lies bleeding in my hands
I wonder if those changes
Have left a scar on you
Like all the burning hoops of fire
That you and I passed through
Youre a bluebird on a telegraph line
I hope youre happy now
While if the wind of change comes down your way girl
Youll make it back somehow
And love lies bleeding in my hand
Oh it kills me to think of you with another man
I was playing rock and roll and you were just a fan
But my guitar couldnt hold you so I split the band
Love lies bleeding in my hands
Ooh oh
Ooh
Oh oh oh oh ooh
Love lies bleeding in my hands
Oh
Oh oh |
Now if you want a role model
Of a life most blissfully led
Then look no further than Pumbaa here
Than this laid-back quadruped
Relaxations the name of the game
Be cool and be thick-skinned
Let my lifestyle be your reference frame
As long as you stand upwind
Your guide must be
This rhapsody
I gets up when I like
Hes got it all worked out!
I plan the day ahead
Hes got it all worked out!
When inspiration strikes
Hes got it all worked out!
I go right back to bed
Hes got it all worked out!
But though he may not be one of natures dynamos
His mind is on the ball and far from comatose
Dont dismiss the warthog philosophy
Take it from he
Hes got it all worked out!
Take it from me!
Hes got it all worked out!
Im starved!
Me too! Whats for lunch?
Glad ya asked, kid. Should we tell him, Pumbaa?
Uh huh!
Now listen to this
This is the important part!
Now who wants to be a hunter?
Chasing food all over the place
More often than not
It gets away!
Who needs the thrill of the chase?
Why move mountains to get your chow?
When you only need to move a log
Make it your dietary resolve from now
To eat like the old warthog
Regarding food
Mmm-mm!
His attitude...
...is bugs for every meal
Ive got it all worked out
So full of vitamins
Ive got it all worked out
No need to cook or peel
Ive got it all worked out
He eats em in their skins
Ive got it all worked out
Theyre delectable, available, the perfect snack
They aint endangered species
And they dont fight back
Dont dismiss the warthog gastronomy
Take it from he!
Take it from me!
Take it from he
Hes got it all worked out
Come on, kid! Its now or never!
Hit it, Pumbaa!
So remember when you see us staring into space
Were caught between a pillow and a soft, soft place
Dont resist the warthog mentality
Take it from he
Take it from me
Take it from he
Take it from we
Weve got it all worked out! |
— Mufasa sempre mostrou muitas restrições quando se trata de caçar. Quando eu for rei, os poderosos tomarão tudo que quiserem, porque as hienas têm barrigas que nunca enchem
— Mufasa é poderoso demais pra ser desafiado
Mufasa agora é passado
É hora da gente agir
Ninguém quer um rei fracassado
O novo está por vir
Mudanças virão lentamente
Hienas terão que aprender
Eu tenho um plano abrangente
E juntos iremos vencer
Se preparem para o golpe do século
Se preparem para o plano cruel
Bem premeditado e bem calculado
E um rei rejeitado será coroado
Por isso eu disputo
E por isso eu luto
O trono terá que ser meu
Que os amigos não me desamparem
Se preparem
Se preparem
Se preparem
Se preparem
Que os amigos não me desamparem
Se preparem |
Well you go out on the mountain top, and you look out across the sea
And you know theres another place, perhaps that a young man could be
And you jump back down to the rooftops, and you look out across the town
And you know theres a lot of the strange things circulating around
It aint easy, it aint easy
It aint easy to go to heaven when youre going down
All you people you got your problems, that aint nothing new
With patience and understanding, you can get you through
It can get you through, Lord, and take you to the end
It can take you up, oh Lord, and let you down again
It aint easy, it aint easy
It aint easy to go to heaven when youre going down
Yeah keep it going down
Satisfaction, satisfaction, tell me who is satisfied?
Well she take it and she hold it out, deep down inside
Well she holds it deep inside, Lord, and she bites you with her teeth
All the woman really wants, Lord, she can give her some relief
It aint easy, it aint easy
It aint easy to go to heaven when youre going down
It aint easy, it aint easy
It aint easy to go to heaven when youre going down
It aint easy, it aint easy
It aint easy to go to heaven when youre going down
It aint easy, it aint easy
It aint easy to go to heaven when youre going down
It aint easy, it aint easy
It aint easy to go to heaven when youre going down |
I wish we were leaving
I wish we were in somebodys car
Going faster
Then we get home
And that would be enough
Id look at the ceiling
And feel like I was in somebodys arms
Who really loved me
But we wont get that far
Cause youve got your eyes set on something that I dont see
Whenever you smile its for something that I dont feel
And one day youll be so good for somebody
For somebody
And one day youll make somebody so happy
But it wont be me
Small talk, big nights
Youre showing a sign that youre not alright
Going faster than you wanted
Because its not enough
So tired of believing
Loves gonna get you through the night
Theres no laughter when you take things this far
Youll be turning their grey skies blue
Like Id do for you
If youd only let me
Youll be dreaming and by your side
Therell be two blue eyes
Where I wanted to be
Dont feel so deflated
These things happen
Timing fails and so
It isnt your fault
So dont look back
You dont need to explain cause |
Deny the passenger, who want to get on
Want to get on
He want to get on
Want to get on
He want to get on
To make a chain of fools
You need a matching pair
One hypocritical fool
And a crowd thats never there
Theres anger in the silence
Theres wheels upon the jail
A black train built of bones
On a copper rail
Company conductor
You need the salt of tears
Falling on a ticket
That no ones used in years
Non-commercial native
Its tattooed in your veins
Youre living in a blood bank
And riding on this train
The spirits free, but you always find
Passengers stand and wait in line
Someone in front and someone else behind
But passengers always wait in line |
They laid beneath the pine trees with their caps over their eyes
They were drunk with home and mama as they brushed away the flies
In an instant before the sunrise they had gunned the rebels down
As their flags were torn at half mast in the ruins of the town
There were white sails on the water for the crippled on the beach
There was a lack of ammunition so the cause was incomplete
When the bugle blew at breakfast and they knew their ships were in
Signs of grand assurance were carried on the wind
Take it home, take it low, take responsibilities
Came the message from the front
For the captains, captains quarters must retreat
Pack the compass, pack the tents, take the bunks
They just chalked it down in history but they kept their uniforms
They put their medals on the sideboards and they went back to their farms
For it was just a mere reminder that they stood beside the best
That God had saved the chosen few and the devil took the rest
On the plains above the rock face where the sculptured eagles swoop
Theres a haunted yell for action among the spectres of his troops
It was silent on the coastline as the crazy angels danced
With the sound of retreating footfall from his military camp |
On and on
The story of our lives goes on and on
The path of time
The sunsets up ahead roll along
In your eyes
The option of a warm embrace implies
Youre my friend
Happy endings keep our love alive
And tell me do I fit in the big picture
Do I have a shot at the big part
Cause Ive been up all night looking at the big picture
Ive got some good lines for my big star
Want to be your main man in the big picture
What a deal
To get a part like this
Day to day
The shifting wind just blows us on our way
Here and there
Our pockets full of things to say
Oh my love
I proudly represent you in this world
Little satellite
Brightest star tonight, oh my love
And tell me do I fit in the big picture
Do I have a shot at the big part
Cause Ive been up all night looking at the big picture
Ive got some good lines for my big star
Hope I got a future in the big picture
At the last embrace
From the first kiss
And tell me do I fit in the big picture
Do I have a shot at the big part
Cause Ive been up all night looking at the big picture
Ive got some good lines for my big star |
