one song

[Analogman]

The curtain rises on the scene

With someone shouting to be free

The play unfolds before my eyes

There stands the actor who is me

 

The sleeping hours takes us far

From traffic, telephones and fear

Put out your problems with the cat

Escape until a bell you hear

 

Our reasons are the same

But there

[embiggen]

Just a perfect day,

Drink Sangria in the park,

And then later, when it gets dark,

We go home.

Just a perfect day,

Feed animals in the zoo

Then later, a movie, too,

And then home.

 

Oh it's such a perfect day,

I'm glad I spent it with you.

Oh such a perfect day,

You just keep me hanging on,

You just keep me hanging on.

 

Just a perfect day,

Problems all left alone,

Weekenders on our own.

It's such fun.

Just a perfect day,

You made me forget myself.

I thought I was someone else,

Someone good.

 

Oh it's such a perfect day,

I'm glad I spent it with you.

Oh such a perfect day,

You just keep me hanging on,

You just keep me hanging on.

 

You're going to reap just what you sow,

You're going to reap just what you sow,

You're going to reap just what you sow,

You're going to reap just what you sow...

[Analogman]

Hello, baby hello

Haven't seen your face for a while

Have you quit doing time for me

Or are you still the same spoiled child

 

Hello, I said hello

Is this the only place you thought to go

Am I the only man you ever had

Or am I just the last surviving friend that you know

 

Harmony and me

We're pretty good company

Looking for an island

In our boat upon the sea

Harmony, gee I really love you

And I want to love you forever

And dream of the never, never, never leaving harmony

 

Hello, baby hello

Open up your heart and let your feelings flow

You're not unlucky knowing me

Keeping the speed real slow

In any case I set my own pace

By stealing the show, say hello, hello

[M. (hristine]

Oh, I'm sailin' away my own true love,

I'm sailin' away in the morning.

Is there something I can send you from across the sea,

From the place that I'll be landing?

 

No, there's nothin' you can send me, my own true love,

There's nothin' I wish to be ownin'.

Just carry yourself back to me unspoiled,

From across that lonesome ocean.

 

Oh, but I just thought you might want something fine

Made of silver or of golden,

Either from the mountains of Madrid

Or from the coast of Barcelona.

 

Oh, but if I had the stars from the darkest night

And the diamonds from the deepest ocean,

I'd forsake them all for your sweet kiss,

For that's all I'm wishin' to be ownin'.

 

That I might be gone a long time

And it's only that I'm askin',

Is there something I can send you to remember me by,

To make your time more easy passin'.

 

Oh, how can, how can you ask me again,

It only brings me sorrow.

The same thing I want from you today,

I would want again tomorrow.

 

I got a letter on a lonesome day,

It was from her ship a-sailin',

Saying I don't know when I'll be comin' back again,

It depends on how I'm a-feelin'.

 

Well, if you, my love, must think that-a-way,

I'm sure your mind is roamin'.

I'm sure your heart is not with me,

But with the country to where you're goin'.

 

So take heed, take heed of the western wind,

Take heed of the stormy weather.

And yes, there's something you can send back to me,

Spanish boots of Spanish leather.

[timbits]

when you've finally thrown up your hands

poured your heart out, yet nothing stands

it seems our efforts are wasted

but yet it hasn't been in vain

 

unfulfillment is killing you

seems like no one shares the same view

we may have never met but

it might be you who pulls me through

 

stand up so i can see you

shout out so i can hear you

reach out so i can touch you

this is our emergency

this is our emergency

this is our emergency

 

baby you don't have to be

a picture in a magazine

sometimes you're too blind to see

anything objectively

just keep on doing your thing right now

 

listen here take it from me

we're gonna go it differently

they'll follow when you start the lead

strength in numbers is our key

keep on doing your thing you do now

 

don't forget that when you doubt

that anyone will care about

a thing you do and when you're lost

someone else is always found

a thousand voices, are you listening?

 

the tiny spark that you create

it can inspire and duplicate

and soon it spreads from state

to state from williamsburg to silverlake

a thousand voices, are you listening?

 

this is our emergency

this is our emergency

 

stand up so i can see you

shout out so i can hear you

reach out so i can touch you

this is our emergency

 

baby you don't have to be

[Dude]

Wind will blow and the sun will shine

On that hill where we used to climb

I look in your eyes and you'll be mine

Someday soon

 

I won't even make a scene

That will be just like a dream

Cash is gonna flow down by the old mainstream

Someday soon

 

You don't know me, but I know you

(you don't know me)

You have no idea what I do

(what I do)

Make you mine and see you swoon

Someday soon

 

Sun's gonna shine, wind's gonna blow

On that hill where we used to go

I look in your eyes and down I will roll

Someday soon

 

Someday, someday soon

Someday, someday soon

All men must have someone, have someone

Who would never take advantage

Of a love bright as the sun.

Someone to understand them,

And you just may be the one.

 

All men must have someone, have someone

Who would never take for granted

All the pleasures and the fun.

Someone to stand beside them

And you just may be the one.

 

I saw when you walked by

The lovelight in your eye

And I knew I must try

To win you more than just a friend,

I

[JUDE]

The case was pulled from under the bed

She made a call to a sympathetic friend

And made arrangements

The door was closed there was a note

I couldn

[tkleist]

Loving you

Isn`t the right thing to do

How can I ever change things

That I feel

 

If I could

Maybe I`d give you my world

How can I

When you won`t take it from me

 

You can go your own way

Go your own way

You can call it

Another lonely day

You can go your own way

Go your own way

 

Tell me why

Everything turned around

Packing up,

Shacking up's all you wanna do

 

If I could

Baby I`d give you my world

Open up

Everything`s waiting for you

 

You can go your own way

Go your own way

You can call it

Another lonely day

You can go your own way

Go your own way

Love and communication you were here for me

At this very moment 'cause I found you on the phone

You called me

And you were not hunting me

 

Learning more and more about less and less and less

On the edge of your seat in some dark movie

Can you memorize the scenes

They'll be different next week

Can you tell me can you tell can you tell

If there's something better

'Cause you know there always is

There always is

 

Drawn to the party like a spider filling up your guts

Don't hate the night with what you shouldn't have

Come along for the ride you just know you should

You just know you should

Can you tell can you tell can you tell

If there's something better

'Cause you know there always is

There always is

 

Hated to see you sad when I left

There's no good in that but the good part was

That I came out at all 'cause I don't venture out

Into the lives of the new

I want you to come along for the ride

How long will you stay for your whole life

You just know you should

Can you tell me can you tell me can you tell

if there's something better

'Cause you know there always is

There always is

 

Love and communication you were here for me

At this very moment 'cause I found you on the phone

You called me

And you were not hunting me

[M. (hristine]

There's a home by the wide Avonmore

That would sweep o'er the broad open sea

And wide rivers where the waves wash ashore

Whilst bulrushes they wave to the breeze

Where the green ivy clings round the door

And the birds sweetly sing on each tree

O me darling they're tuning they're notes

Is ar Eirinn ni neosfainn ce hi

 

Like a sick man that longs for the dawn

I do long for the light of her smile

And I pray for my own cailin ban

While I'm waiting for her by the stile

Oh I'd climb all the hills of this land

And I'd swim all the depths of the sea

To get one kiss from her lily-white hand

Is ar Eirinn ni neosfainn ce hi

 

I have toiled sore those years of my life

Through storm, through sunshine and rain

And I surely would venture my life

For to shield her one moment from pain

For she being my comfort in life

Though my comfort and joy she may be

She's my own, she is my promised wife

Is ar Eirinn ni neosfainn ce hi

 

O but when I will call her my own

And it's married we both then will be

Like the king and the queen on their throne

We'll be living in sweet unity

O it's then I'll have a home of my own

And I'll rear up a nice family

O it's then that her name will be known

But for Ireland I won't tell her name

Well Jimmy played harmonica in the pub where I was born

He played it from the night time to the peaceful early morn

He soothed the souls of psychos and the men who had the horn

And they all looked very happy in the morning

 

Now Jimmy didn't like his place in this world of ours

Where the elephant man broke strong men's necks

When he'd had too many Powers

So sad to see the grieving of the people that he's leaving

And he took the road for God knows in the morning

 

We walked him to the station in the rain

We kissed him as we put him on the train

And we sang him a song of times long gone

Though we knew that we'd be seeing him again

 

(Far away) sad to say I must be on my way

So buy me beer and whiskey 'cause I'm going far away (far away)

I'd like to think of me returning when I can

To the greatest little boozer and to Sally MacLennane

 

The years passed by the times had changed I grew to be a man

I learned to love the virtues of sweet Sally MacLennane

I took the jeers and drank the beers and crawled back home at dawn

And ended up a barman in the morning

 

I played the pump and took the hump and watered whiskey down

I talked of whores and horses to the men who drank the brown

I heard them say that Jimmy's making money far away

And some people left for heaven without warning

 

We walked him to the station in the rain

We kissed him as we put him on the train

And we sang him a song of times long gone

Though we knew that we'd be seeing him again

 

(Far away) sad to say I must be on my way

So buy me beer and whiskey 'cause I'm going far away (far away)

I'd like to think of me returning when I can

To the greatest little boozer and to Sally MacLennane

 

When Jimmy came back home he was surprised that they were gone

He asked me all the details of the train that they went on

Some people they are scared to croak but Jimmy drank until he choked

And he took the road for heaven in the morning

 

We walked him to the station in the rain

We kissed him as we put him on the train

And we sang him a song of times long gone

Though we knew that we'd be seeing him again

 

(Far away) sad to say I must be on my way

So buy me beer and whiskey 'cause I'm going far away (far away)

I'd like to think of me returning when I can

To the greatest little boozer and to Sally MacLennane

[Analogman]

May the smile on your face

Come straight from your heart

Takes a lady like you

To write that for me

 

To wake up with you

Makes my morning so bright

Wipes the sleep from my eyes

When you tell me your dreams

 

And it goes on and on

Way beyond and out of reach

It's a well known old secret

Go and tell everyone

Tell everyone

 

The smile on your face

Comes straight from your heart

If you look you will find

And you wrote that for me

amanda is in love

with the sight of the moon

she's got pale green stars

in her room

right above her bed

 

put them on the ceiling

leave on the light

when the sun goes down

then the stars might shine

 

shining in the dark

 

skinny little girl in her room alone

she's got hell to spare

in her home

if you can call it a home

 

doesn't want to be

like anybody else

when no one is around

she talks to herself

 

I can hear her in the night

 

hey- hey yeah

it's hard on a girl

when the blood won't come

when it ought to come

it's hard on a girl

when you try to walk around

on the shaky ground

 

hey, hey

daddy's going away

 

scared little girl

watching aladdin on tv

amanda always cries

when you yell at me

 

yeah- please don't yell at me

 

climb up all those stairs

close the door

doesn't want to

hear us fighting anymore

 

yeah, better call it a day

 

hey- hey yeah

it's hard on a young girl

she thinks it's all her fault

when it all goes wrong

it's hard on a grown man too

see my baby crying at the window

calling out my name

 

hey, hey

daddy's going away

 

she's got pale green stars in her room

And return me, my ship.

Groovin' . . . on a Sunday afternoon

Really couldn't get away too soon

I can't imagine anything that's better

The world is ours whenever we're together

There ain't a place I'd like to be instead of . . .

Groovin' . . . down a crowded avenue

Doin' anything we like to do

There's always lots of things that we can see

We can be anyone we want to be

And all those happy people we could meet just . . .

Groovin' . . . on a Sunday afternoon

Really couldn't get away too soon

We'll keep on spending sunny days this way

We're gonna talk and laugh our time away

I feel it comin' closer day by day

Life would be ecstasy, you and me endlessly . . .

Groovin' . . . on a Sunday afternoon

Really couldn't get away too soon

14 Rue de Savoy

after we had met

 

eighteen bars of the sonata

and you were mine

this music gig doesn't pay that well

but the fans are alright

 

darling come home

I can't take the apartment alone

you left your beret behind

and your croissant is getting cold

 

Visa, Mastercard, Discovered

that I was spent

took my heart, my best jeans, and left me

with paying the rent

 

a user, abuser, a loser

but I didn't care

I've always been a guy with a sweet tooth

and that girl was just like a king-sized candy bar

 

pick up the phone

meet me at the Savonne

keep turning me on

with those French words I can't pronounce

 

milkshake n' honey yeah

milkshake n' honey yeah

 

ma petite, comment ca va?

[Fritz]

Well, they say

that Santa Fe

Is less than ninety miles away,

And I got time to roll a number

and rent a car.

Oh, Albuquerque.

 

I've been flyin'

down the road,

And I've been starvin' to be alone,

And independent from the scene

that I've known.

Albuquerque.

 

So I'll stop when I can,

Find some fried eggs

and country ham.

I'll find somewhere where

they don't care who I am.

Oh, Albuquerque,

Albuquerque.

[viatroy]

When the rain is blowing in your face

And the whole world is on your case

I could offer you a warm embrace

To make you feel my love

 

When the evening shadows and the stars appear

And there is no one there to dry your tears

I could hold you for a million years

To make you feel my love

 

I know you haven't made your mind up yet

But I would never do you wrong

I've known it from the moment that we met

No doubt in my mind where you belong

 

I'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue

I'd go crawling down the avenue

There's nothing that I wouldn't do

To make you feel my love

 

The storms are raging on the rollin' sea

And on the highway of regret

The winds of change are blowing wild and free

You ain't seen nothing like me yet

 

I could make you happy, make your dreams come true

Nothing that I wouldn't do

Go to the ends of the earth for you

To make you feel my love

[Papillon Parade]

Well I'm goin' out west

Where the wind blows tall

'Cause Tony Franciosa

Used to date my ma

They got some money out there

They're giving it away

I'm gonna do what I want

Do what I want

And I'm gonna get paid

 

Little brown sausages

Lying in the sand

I ain't no extra baby

I'm a leading man

Well my parole officer

WIll be proud of me

With my Olds 88

And the devil on a leash

My Olds 88

And the devil on a leash

 

Well I know karate, Voodoo too

I'm gonna make myself available to you

I don't need no make up

I got real scars

I got hair on my chest

I look good without a shirt

 

Well I don't lose my composure

In a high speed chase

Well my friends think I'm ugly

I got a masculine face

I got some dragstrip courage

I can really drive a bed

I'm gonna change my name

To Hannibal or maybe

Just Rex

Change my name to Hannibal

Or maybe just Rex

 

I'm gonna drive all night

Take some speed

I'm gonna wait for the sun

To shine down on me

I cut a hole in my roof

In the shape of a heart

 

And I'm goin' out west

Where they'll appreciate me

Goin' out west

Goin' out west

[Elixir Sue]

Love is a burning thing

and it makes a fiery ring

Bound by wild desire

I fell into a ring of fire...

 

I fell into a burning ring of fire

I went down, down, down

and the flames went higher.

And it burns, burns, burns

the ring of fire

the ring of fire

 

The taste of love is sweet

when hearts like ours meet

I fell for you like a child

oh, but the fire went wild

 

I fell into a burning ring of fire

I went down, down, down

and the flames went higher.

And it burns, burns, burns

the ring of fire

the ring of fire

Pulled into Nazareth, I was feelin' about half past dead;

I just need some place where I can lay my head.

"Hey, mister, can you tell me where a man might find a bed?"

He just grinned and shook my hand, and "No", was all he said.

 

Take a load off Fannie, take a load for free;

Take a load off Fannie, And (and) (and) you can put the load right on me.

 

I picked up my bag, I went lookin' for a place to hide;

When I saw Carmen and the Devil walkin' side by side.

I said, "Hey, Carmen, come on, let's go downtown."

She said, "I gotta go, but m'friend can stick around."

 

Take a load off Fannie, take a load for free;

Take a load off Fannie, And (and) (and) you can put the load right on me.

 

 

Go down, Miss Moses, there's nothin' you can say

It's just ol' Luke, and Luke's waitin' on the Judgement Day.

"Well, Luke, my friend, what about young Anna Lee?"

He said, "Do me a favor, son, woncha stay an' keep Anna Lee

company?"

 

Take a load off Fannie, take a load for free;

Take a load off Fannie, And (and) (and) you can put the load right on me.

 

Crazy Chester followed me, and he caught me in the fog.

He said, "I will fix your rags, if you'll take Jack, my dog."

I said, "Wait a minute, Chester, you know I'm a peaceful man."

He said, "That's okay, boy, won't you feed him when you can."

 

Take a load off Fannie, take a load for free;

Take a load off Fannie, And (and) (and) you can put the load right on me.

 

Catch a Cannonball, now, t'take me down the line

My bag is sinkin' low and I do believe it's time.

To get back to Miss Annie, you know she's the only one.

Who sent me here with her regards for everyone.

 

Take a load off Fannie, take a load for free;

Take a load off Fannie, And (and) (and) you can put the load right on me.
