When are you gonna come down?
When are you goin to land?
I shouldve stayed on the farm
I should have listened to my old man
Maybe youll get a replacement
Theres plenty like me to be found
Mongrels who aint got a penny
Sniffin for tidbits like you on the ground
So goodbye, yellow brick road
Where the dogs of society howl
You cant plant me in your penthouse
Im goin back to my plough
Back to the howling, old owl in the woods
Hunting the horny-back toad
Oh, Ive finally decided my future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road
So what do you think youll do, then?
Bet theyll shoot down your plane
Itll take you a couple of vodka and tonics
To set you on your feet again
You know they cant hold you forever
I didnt sign up with you
Im not a present for your friends to open
This boys too young to be singing the blues, ah, ah
So goodbye, yellow brick road
Where the dogs of society howl
You cant plant me in your penthouse
Im goin back to my plough
Back to the howling, old owl in the woods
Hunting the horny-back toad
Oh, Ive finally decided my future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road, ah, ah |
Hey you, youre a child in my head
You havent walked yet
Your first words have yet to be said
But I swear youll be blessed
I know youre still just a dream
Your eyes might be green
Or the bluest that Ive ever seen
Anyway youll be blessed
And you, youll be blessed
Youll have the best
I promise you that
Ill pick a star from the sky
Pull your name from a hat
I promise you that, promise you that, promise you that
Youll be blessed
I need you before Im too old
To have and to hold
To walk with you and watch you grow
And know that youre blessed |
Lately, Ive been thinking
How much I miss my lady
Amoreenas in a cornfield
Brightening the daybreak
Living like a lusty flower
Running through the grass for hours
Rolling through the hay, oh
Like a puppy, child
And when it rains, the rain falls down
Washing out the cattle town
And shes far away somewhere
In her eiderdown
And she dreams of crystal streams
Of days gone by when we would lean
Laughing, fit to burst upon each other
I can see you sitting, eating
Apples in the evening
The fruit juice, flowing slowly, slowly, slowly
Down the bronze of your body
Living like a lusty flower
Running through the grass for hours
Rolling through the hay, oh
Like a puppy, child
And when it rains, the rain falls down
Washing out the cattle town
And shes far away somewhere
In her eiderdown
And she dreams of crystal streams
Of days gone by when we would lean
Laughing, fit to burst upon each other
Oh, if only I could nestle
In the cradle of your cabin
My arms around your shoulder, whoa
The windows wide and open
While the swallow and the sycamore, whoa
Are playing in the valley
Oh, I miss you, Amoreena
Like the king bee misses honey
And when it rains, the rain falls down
Washing out the cattle town
And shes far away somewhere
In her eiderdown
And she dreams of crystal streams
Of days gone by when we would lean
Laughing, fit to burst upon each other
And when it rains, the rain falls down
Washing out the cattle town
And shes far away somewhere
In her eiderdown
And she dreams of crystal streams
Of days gone by when we would lean
Laughing, fit to burst upon each other
Lately, Ive been thinking, oh
How much I miss my lady
Amoreenas in a cornfield
Oh, brightening the daybreak
Living like a lusty flower
Running through the grass for hours
Rolling through the hay, whoa
Like a puppy, like a puppy, child, oh |
Blue eyes
Babys got blue eyes
Like a deep, blue sea
On a blue, blue day
Blue eyes
Babys got blue eyes
When the mornin comes
Ill be far away
And I say
Blue eyes, holdin back the tears
Holdin back the pain
Babys got blue eyes
And shes alone again
Blue eyes
Babys got blue eyes
Like a clear, blue sky
Watchin over me
Blue eyes
Ooh, I love blue eyes
When Im by her side
Where I long to be
I will see
Blue eyes, laughin in the sun
Laughin in the rain
Babys got blue eyes
And I am home, and I am home again
Blue eyes, laughin in the sun
Laughin in the rain
Babys got blue eyes
And I am home again |
Wise men say
It looks like rain today
It crackled on the speakers
And trickled down the sleepy subway trains
For heavy eyes could hardly hold us
Aching legs that often told us
Its all worth it
We all fall in love sometimes
The full moons bright
And starlight filled the evening
We wrote it and I played it
Something happened
Its so strange this feeling
Naive notions that were childish
Simple tunes that tried to hide it
But when it comes
We all fall in love sometimes
Did we, didnt we, should we, couldnt we?
Im not sure cause sometimes were so blind
Struggling through the day
When even your best friend says:
Dont you find
We all fall in love sometimes?
And only passing time
Could kill the boredom we acquired
Running with the losers for a while
But our Empty Sky was filled with laughter
Just before the flood
Painting worried faces with a smile
Wise men say
It looks like rain today
It crackled on the speakers
And trickled down the sleepy subway trains
For heavy eyes could hardly hold us
Aching legs that often told us
Its all worth it
We all fall in love sometimes
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh! Oh-oh
We all fall in love sometimes |

When I look back, boy, I mustve been green
Boppin in the country, fishin in the stream
Lookin for an answer, tryin to find a sign
Until I saw your city lights, honey, I was blind
They said, Get back, honky cat
Better get back to the woods
Well, I quit those days and my redneck ways, and I
Oh, the change is gonna do me good
You better get back, honky cat
Livin in the city aint where its at
Its like tryin to find gold in a, a silver mine
Its like tryin to drink whiskey, oh, from a bottle of wine
Well, I read some books and I read some magazines
About those a-high-class a-ladies down in a-New Orleans
And all the a-folks back home, well, they said I was a fool
Oh, Believe in the Lord is the golden rule
They said, Get back, honky cat
Better get back to the woods
Well, I quit those days and my redneck ways, and I
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, the change is gonna do me good |

Its never too late to turn things around
Recover, unravel the path to confound
The doubters and losers that line up despair
Will tell you its over, youre going nowhere
Its never too late, I hope
Its never too late
Its never too late to get back on track
To get at least some, if not all of it back
I thought I was happy, and sometimes I was
The sadness is just as important because
Got to carry the weight and hope
Its never too late
Never too late to fight the fight
Never too late to keep the night
Never too late to win the day
Never too late to break away
Time will start to move too fast, the time is now, my friends
Im a long way from the start, but further from the end
Oh no, its never too late
Its never too late to get up off the ground
Dont have to be noticed, dont have to crowned
I get what I done and I dont try to hide
I lost many things, but never my pride
Its never too late, I know
Its never too late
Never too late to fight the fight
Never too late to keep the night
Never too late to win the day
Never too late to break away
Time will start to move too fast, the time is now, my friends
Im a long way from the start, but further from the end
Oh no, its never too late
I used to say I dont have time, Im sleepin tonight
A day doin nothin is doin it right
No hurry, no Harry, take as long as it takes
You might as well sleep for all the difference it makes
I didnt find love or the peace or the breaks
These arent excuses, but a string of mistakes
I wont go back there, not goin back there
Never too late to fight the fight
Never too late to keep the night
Never too late to win the day
Never too late to break away
Never too late to fight the fight, babe
Never too late to keep the night
Never too late to win the day
Never too late to break away
Time will start to move too fast, the time is now, my friends
Im a long way from the start, but further from the end
Oh no, its never too late
Its never too late
Oh, its never too late
Its never too late
Its never too late |
Whatever gets you through the night
Its alright, its alright
Its your money or your life
Its alright, its alright
Dont need a sword to cut through flowers
Oh no, oh no
Whatever gets you through your life
Its alright, its alright
Do it wrong or do it right
Its alright, its alright
Dont need a watch to waste your time
Oh no, oh no
Hold me darlin, come on listen to me
I wont do you no harm
Trust me darlin come on listen to me, come on listen to me
Come on listen, listen
Whatever gets you to the light
Its alright, its alright
Out the blue or out of sight
Its alright, its alright
Dont need a gun to blow your mind
Oh no, oh no
Hold me darlin come on listen to me
I wont do you no harm
Trust me darlin come on listen to me, come on listen to me
Come on listen, listen |

Im gonna be a mighty king, so enemies beware!
Well Ive never seen a king of beasts
With quite so little hair
Im gonna be the mane event
Like no king was before
Im brushing up on looking down
Im working on my roar
Thus far, a rather uninspiring thing
Oh, I just cant wait to be king!
No one saying do this
Now when I said that
No one saying be there
What I meant was
No one saying stop that
What you dont realize
No one saying see here
Now see here!
Free to run around all day
Thats definitely out!
Free to do it all my way
I think its time that you and I
Arranged a heart-to-heart
Kings dont need advice
From little hornbills for a start
If this is where the monarchy is headed
Count me out
Out of service, out of Africa
I wouldnt hang about
This child is getting wildly out of wing
Oh, I just cant wait to be king
Everybody look left
Everybody look right
Everywhere you look Im
Standing in the spotlight
Not yet!
Let every creature go for broke and sing
Lets hear it in the herd and on the wing
Its gonna be King Simbas finest fling
Oh, I just cant wait to be king!
Oh, he just cant wait to be king!
Oh, I just cant wait
Just cant wait
To be king! |
Hey kid, shake it loose together
The spotlights hitting something
Thats been known to change the weather
Well kill the fatted calf tonight, so stick around
Youre going to hear electric music
Solid walls of sound
Say, Candy and Ronnie, have you seen them yet
Oh, but theyre so spaced out
Be-Be-Be-Bennie and the Jets
Oh, but theyre weird and theyre wonderful
Oh, Bennie, shes really keen
Shes got electric boots, a mohair suit
You know I read it in a magazine
Be-Be-Be-Bennie and the Jets
Shes so good
Shes so good, yeah
Yeah
Alright, here we go
Hey kid, plug into the faithless
Maybe theyre blinded
But Bennie makes them ageless
We shall survive, let us take ourselves along , Yeah
Where we fight our parents out in the streets
To find out whos right and whos wrong
Say, Candy and Ronnie, have you seen them yet
Oh, but theyre so spaced out
Be-Be-Be-Bennie and the Jets
Yeah, but theyre weird and theyre wonderful
Oh, Bennie, shes really keen
Shes got electric boots, a mohair suit
You know I read it in a magazine
Be-Be-Be-Bennie and the Jets
Ah!, so good
Better keep one rolled and heard she’s back
In a mohair suit signing autographs
She hates the media, it brings her down
But when you this hot you gonna need your fans
Make a flip flop when your CD out
She was eating up but you anemic now
You believe in luck, a religion babe
Because either way you gonna need it now
Now
They can build you up so they can break you down
Yeah
Cry tears of joy so they can see you drown
Yeah
Chew you up only to spew you out
You are now a victim of the in crowd
And music has lost its soul
And the female’s selling sex and no content on getting old
So they concerts arent as sold
So the concern is on they labels
That we pay them to perform
See, the way this game is set up
We can’t let this show go on, no
Who going to love them when the party’s over
I’m saying everybody love them but nobody know them
I’m saying everybody know you but nobody need you
So will she still be in your heart when she is not in your speakers?
Believe it
Oh, Candy and Ronnie, have you seen them yet
But theyre so spaced out
Be-Be-Bennie and the Jets
Oh, but theyre weird and theyre wonderful
Oh, Bennie, shes really keen
Shes got electric boots, a mohair suit
You know I read it in a magazine
Be-Be-Bennie and the Jets
Hey Bennie
Oh Bennie
Oh, you look so good on that stage, baby, yeah
Hey Bennie, oh Bennie, yeah Bennie, Bennie
Bennie and the Jets baby
Oh my God, yeah
Bennie
Oh, do you think well meet up after the show?
I sure hope so now
Yeah, she makes the mohair suit look so good
So good
I mean, where do you get a mohair suit anyway? Ah man
Bennie and the Jets baby
Yeah yeah, oh my God
Rock on, alright
Wild times
Right times |
Whys it never light on my lawn?
Why does it rain and never say, Good day to the newborn?
On the big screen, they showed us a sun
But not as bright in life as the real one
Its never quite the same as the real one
And tell me, grey seal
How does it feel to be so wise?
To see through eyes that only see whats real
Tell me, grey seal
I never learned why meteors were formed
I only farmed in schools that were so worn 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
And tell me, grey seal
How does it feel to be so wise?
To see through eyes that only see whats real
Tell me, grey seal
Your mission bells were wrought by ancient men
The roots were formed by twisted roots
Your roots were twisted then
I was reborn before all life could die
The phoenix bird will leave this world to fly
If the phoenix bird can fly, then so can I
And tell me, grey seal
How does it feel to be so wise?
To see through eyes that only see whats real
Tell me, grey seal |
Yesterday you came to lift me up
As light as straw and brittle as a bird
Today I weigh less than a shadow on the wall
Just one more whisper of a voice unheard
Tomorrow leave the windows open
As fear grows please hold me in your arms
Wont you help me if you can to shake this anger
I need your gentle hands to keep me calm
Because I never thought Id lose
I only thought Id win
I never dreamed Id feel
This fire beneath my skin
I cant believe you love me
I never thought youd come
I guess I misjudged love
Between a father and his son
Things we never said come together
The hidden truth no longer haunting me
Tonight we touched on the things that were never spoken
That kind of understanding sets me free
Because I never thought Id lose
I only thought Id win
I never dreamed Id feel
This fire beneath my skin
I cant believe you love me
I never thought youd come
I guess I misjudged love
Between a father and his son |
Its a little bit funny, this feeling inside
Im not one of those who can easily hide
I dont have much money, but, boy, if I did
Id buy a big house where we both could live
If I was a sculptor, heh, but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a travelin show
I know its not much, but its the best I can do
My gift is my song, and this ones for you
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
I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well, a few of the verses, well, they got me quite cross
But the suns been quite kind while I wrote this song
Its for people like you that a-keep it turned on
So excuse me forgettin, but these things I do
You see, Ive forgotten if theyre green or theyre blue
Anyway, the thing is, what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes Ive ever seen
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
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 |
Ooh, I got a busted wing and a hornet sting
Like an out-of-tune guitar
Ooh, she got a Hercules on her side
And Diana in her eyes
Some men like the Chinese life
Some men kneel and pray
Ooh, well, I like women and I like wine
And Ive always liked it that way
Always liked it that way
I cant dig it, the way she tease
That old tough-man routine up her sleeves
Livin and a-lovin, kissin and a-huggin
Livin and a-lovin with a cat named Hercules
A cat named Hercules
Oh, and it hurts like hell to see my girl messin with a muscle boy
No Superman gonna ruin my plans
Playin with my toys
Rich man sweatin in a sauna bath
Poor boy scrubbin in a tub
Me, I stay gritty up to my ears
Washin in a bucket of mud
Washin in a bucket of mud
I cant dig it, the way she tease
That old tough-man routine up her sleeves
Livin and a-lovin, kissin and a-huggin
Livin and a-lovin with a cat named Hercules
A cat named Hercules
But I cant dig it, the way she tease
That old tough-man routine up her sleeves
Livin and a-lovin, kissin and a-huggin
Livin and a-lovin with a cat named Hercules
A cat named Hercules
A cat named Hercules
A cat named Hercules
A cat named Hercules |
Hakuna matata! What a wonderful phrase!
Hakuna matata! It aint no passing craze!
It means no worries for the rest of your days
Its our problem-free philosophy
Hakuna matata
Hakuna matata?
Yeah, its our motto
Whats a motto?
Nothin, whats the motto with you?
Ace! Boom!
Those two words will solve all your problems
Yeah, take Pumbaa, here
Why, when he was a young warthog
When I was a young warthog
How you feelin? Its an emotional story
He found his aroma lacked a certain appeal
He could clear the Savannah after every meal
Im a sensitive soul although I seem thick-skinned
And it hurt that my friends never stood downwind
I was here for you, and I resent that
And, oh, the shame!
Yes, he was ashamed
I thought of changing my name!
I mean, to what? Brad?
And I got downhearted
Every time that I farted... are you gonna stop me?
No, Im not. You disgust me!
Hakuna matata! What a wonderful phrase!
Hakuna matata! It aint no passing craze!
It means no worries for the rest of your days
Its our problem-free philosophy
Hakuna matata
Hakuna matata!
Hakuna matata!

Hakuna matata, yeah
Hakuna matata, oh, ah
It means no worries for the rest of your days
Its our problem-free philosophy
Hakuna matata
One more time
Oh, no, I think we did it
But were just getting in the groove
No, lets leave em wanting more
Yeah, youve grown 400 pounds since we started
Meanwhile, I look exactly the same
It means no worries, oh, yeah
Will you tell him to stop
Well, you insisted we sing this song
I insisted you started singing it!
Its our signature song, we shouldnt be sharing it!
But its our signature song so we have to-
Look, just tell him to stop
It means no worries, ah, oh
Oh, now hes riffing, Pumbaa, this is a nightmare
It actually is kinda getting better |
The words I have to say
May well be simple but theyre true
Until you give your love
Theres nothing more that we can do
Love is the opening door
Love is what we came here for
No one could offer you more
Do you know what I mean?
Have your eyes really seen?
You say its very hard
To leave behind the life we knew
But theres no other way
And now its really up to you
Love is the key we must turn
Truth is the flame we must burn
Freedom the lesson we must learn
You know what I mean
Have your eyes really seen?
Love is the opening door
Love is what we came here for
No one could offer you more
Do you know what I mean?
Have your eyes really seen? |
I hope the day will be a lighter highway
For friends are found on every road
Can you ever think of any better way
For the lost and weary travellers to go
Making friends for the world to see
Let the people know you got what you need
With a friend at hand you will see the light
If your friends are there then everythings all right
It seems to me a crime that we should age
These fragile times should never slip us by
A time you never can or shall erase
As friends together watch their childhood fly
Making friends for the world to see
Let the people know you got what you need
With a friend at hand you will see the light
If your friends are there then everythings all right
Making friends for the world to see
Let the people know you got what you need
With a friend at hand you will see the light
If your friends are there then everythings all right |
Take me in my dreams recurring
Cheerful as a childhood dance
Into one more taste of freedom
One more longing backward glance
In the sway of somber music
I shall never, never understand
Let me slip into the sweeter
Chorus of that other land
The gods love Nubia
The beautiful, the golden
The radiant, the fertile
The gentle and the blessed
The pain of Nubia
Is only for the moment
The desolate the suffering
The plundered, the oppressed
The gods love Nubia
Their glorious creation
Its songs roll sweetly
Across the harvest plain
The tears of Nubia
A passing aberration
They wash into the river
And are never cried again
The gods love Nubia
We have to keep believing
The scattered and divided
We are still its heart
The fall of Nubia
Ephemeral and fleeting
The spirit always burning
Though the flesh is torn apart
Take me in my dreams recurring
Cheerful as a childhood dance
Into one more taste of freedom
One more longing backward glance
The gods love Nubia
The beautiful, the golden
The radiant, the fertile
The gentle and the blessed
The pain of Nubia
Is only for the moment
The desolate the suffering
The plundered, the oppressed
The gods love Nubia
We have to keep believing
Though scattered and divided
We are still its heart
The fall of Nubia
Ephemeral and fleeting
The spirit always burning
Though the flesh is torn apart
My spirit will keep on burning
Though the flesh is torn -
- Apart
Take me in my dreams recurring
One more longing backward glance |
Ahhh
La da da da da
Yeah yeah yeah
La da da da da
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
I would lock you up but I could not bear to hear you
Screaming to be set free
I would chain you up if Id thought youd swear
The only one that mattered was me, me, me
I would strap you up but dont worry baby
You know I wouldnt hurt you unless you wanted me to
Its too late to stop, wont the heavens save me?
My daddy said, The devil looks a lot like you
Take me to the edge of heaven
Tell me that my souls forgiven
Hide your babys eyes and we can
Take me to the edge of heaven
One last time might be forever
When the passion dies
Its just a matter of time before my heart is looking for a home
Yeah yeah yeah

Daniel is traveling tonight on a plane
I can see the red tail lights heading for Spain
Oh and I can see Daniel waving goodbye
God it looks like Daniel, must be the clouds in my eyes
They say Spain is pretty though Ive never been
Well Daniel says its the best place that hes ever seen, oh
He should know, hes been there enough
Lord I miss Daniel, oh I miss him so much, oh
Daniel my brother, you are older than me
Do you still feel the pain of the scars that wont heal?
Your eyes have died but you see more than I
Daniel youre a star in the face of the sky
Ohh, hmm
Oh Daniel my brother, you are older than me
Do you still feel the pain of the scars that wont heal?
Your eyes have died but you see more than I
Daniel youre a star in the face of the sky
Daniel is traveling tonight on a plane
I can see the red tail lights heading for Spain
And I can see Daniel waving goodbye
God it looks like Daniel, must be the clouds in my eye
God it looks like Daniel, must be the clouds in my eye |
Tune me in to the wild side of life
Im an innocent young child, sharp as a knife
Take me to the garretts where the artists have died
Show me the courtrooms where the judges have lied
Let me drink deeply from the water and the wine
Light colored candles in dark dreary mines
Look in the mirror and stare at myself
And wonder if thats really me on the shelf
And each day I learn just a little bit more
I dont know why but I do know what for
If were all going somewhere, lets get there soon
Oh, this songs got no title, just words and a tune
Take me down alleys where the murders are done
In a vast high powered rocket to the core of the sun
Want to read books in the studies of men
Born on the breeze and die on the wind
If I was an artist who paints with his eyes
Id study my subject and silently cry
Cry for the darkness to come down on me
For confusion to carry on turning the wheel
And each day I learn just a little bit more
I dont know why but I do know what for
If were all going somewhere, lets get there soon
Oh, this songs got no title, just words and a tune |
Im back on dry land once again
Opportunity awaits me like a rat in the drain
Were all hunting honey with money to burn
Just a short time to show you the tricks that weve learned
If the boys all behave themselves here
Well, theres pretty young ladies and beer in the rear
You wont need a gutter to sleep in tonight
Oh, the prices I charge here will see you alright
So she lays down beside me again
My sweet painted lady, the one with no name
Many have used her and many still do
Theres a place in the world for a woman like you
Oh, sweet painted lady
Seems its always been the same
Getting paid for being laid
Guess thats the name of the game
Oh, sweet painted lady
Seems its always been the same
Getting paid for being laid
Guess thats the name of the game
Forget us, well have gone very soon
Just forget we ever slept in your rooms
And well leave the smell of the sea in your beds
Where loves just a job and nothing is said
So as she lays down beside me again
My sweet painted lady, the one with no name
Many have used her and many still do
Theres a place in the world for a woman like you
Oh, sweet painted lady
Seems its always been the same
Getting paid for being laid
Guess thats the name of the game
Oh, sweet painted lady
Seems its always been the same
Getting paid for being laid
Guess thats the name of the game |
Wise men say
Looks like rain today
Crackled on the speakers
And trickled down the steepy subway trains
Heavy eyes could hardly hold us
Aching legs that often told us
Its all worth it
We all fall in love sometimes
The full moons bright
Starlight filled the evening
We wrote it and I played it
Somethings happened
Its so strange this feeling
Naive notions that were childish
Simple tunes that tried to hide it
But when it comes
We all fall in love sometimes
Did we, didnt we, should we, couldnt we
Im not sure cause sometimes were so blind
Struggling through the day
When even your best friend says:
Dont you find
We all fall in love sometimes?
Wise men say
Looks like rain today
Crackled on the speakers
Trickled down the sleepy subway trains
Heavy eyes could hardly hold us
Aching legs that often told us
Its all worth it
We all fall in love sometimes
We all fall in love sometimes
We all fall in love sometimes
We all fall in love, sometimes |
Zazu, why am I not loved?
I am that rare and awesome thing
Im every inch a king
Yet, I feel a twinge of doubt
As I go walk about
Hey, boss!
When my name is whispered through the pride
Is this talk of love or regicide?
Reggie who?
Tell me Im adored
Please tell me Im adored
Hey, boss!
Oh, what is it?
We got a bone to pick with you
Theres no food, no water
Yeah. Its dinnertime, and there aint no stinkin entrees!
Oh, you and your petty complaints. You dont know what real hunger is. Day after day it gnaws at the very core of my being -
I had that once. It was worms
No, no, no... its like an itch... deep, persistent, profound
Thats it - worms! When they get really bad all you gotta do is hunker down and scoot -
Thanks for the tip. Ingrates! If it werent for me youd be beating off buzzards for your next bite!
Yeah, youre our savior, thanks a bunch
But how about some lunch?
It doesnt matter if its fresh
I need a fix of flesh
My bones have moved to where theyve never been
They are on the outside looking in
Are you blaming me?
Oh no, its the lionesses
You are so adored
Oh, you are so adored
Thats more like it!
But what Id give for one more hit
Of wildebeest kielbasa
Or maybe hornbill on a spit
Oh, how I miss Mufasa!
Mufasa?! Mufasa?! How dare you! I told you never to mention that name!
Note taken. I shall never mention M-m-m again!
Even in death, his shadow looms over me. There he is! No! There he is! And there!
Calm yourself, sire, or youll get another one of your splitting headaches!
I am perfectly fine!
Im better than Mufasa was
Im revered - I am reviled
Im idolized - I am despised
Im keeping calm - Im going wild!
I tell myself Im fine
Yes, I am - no youre not
Yes, I am - no youre not
I tell myself Im fine
No, youre not - yes, I am!
No, youre not - yes, I am!
No, youre not
Yes, no, yes, no
Who am I talking to?
Ah ha ha ha!
Oh, pull yourself together, sire!
Oh, very well. Zazu? Zazu, Zazu, Zazu?
Yes, sire?
Nobody loved me, theres the rub. Not even as a cub! What did my brother have that I dont have?
Do you want the short list or the long?
Whatever!
Well, he had adoring subjects
No
A loving family
No
A devoted queen
Thats it! I need a queen!
A what?
A queen, man! A queen! Without a queen, what am I? A dead end, no line, no descendants, no future. With a queen, Ill have... cubs! Immortality will be mine! Immortality will be mine!
Scar...
Ah, Nala... your timing couldnt have been more perfect. My, how youve grown...
Scar, you have got to do something. Were being forced to overhunt
Shes got those assets feminineYoure the king. Control the hyenasI have to make her mineYoure destroying the Pride LandsNobility in every geneIf we dont stop now... Dont you see?She has to be my queenTheres still a chance for things to be all right againCome, sweet Nala
Its written in the starsWhat are you doing? Are you listening to me?Well create a host of little ScarsWhat are you talking about?Tell me Im adoredGet away from me!Tell me Im adored -
Oh, Nala... you know how I loathe violence... One way or another, you will be mine
Never, Scar. Never!
You belong to me
You all belong to me! |
I believe in love, its all we got
Love has no boundaries, costs nothin to touch
War makes money, cancer sleeps
Curled up in my father, and that means somethin to me
Churches and dictators, politics and papers
Everything crumbles sooner or later
But love
I believe in love
I believe in love, its all we got
Love has no boundaries, no borders to cross
Love is simple, hate breeds
Those who think difference is the child of disease
Father and son make love and guns
Families together kill someone
Without love
I believe in love
Without love, I wouldnt believe
In anythin that lives and breathes
Without love, Id have no anger
I wouldnt believe in the right to stand here
Without love, I wouldnt believe
I couldnt believe in you and I wouldnt believe in me
Without love
I believe in love
I believe in love
I believe in love |
This is the moment when
The gods expect me to beg for help
But I wont even try
I want nothing in the world
But myself to protect me
And I wont lie down, roll over, and die
All I have to do is forget how much I love him
All I have to do is put my longing to one side
Tell myself that loves an ever-changing situation
Passion would have cooled and all the magic
Would have died
Its easy, its easy
All I have to do is to pretend I never knew him
On those very rare occasions when he steals into my heart
Better to have lost him when the ties were barely binding
Better the contempt of the familiar cannot start
Its easy, its easy
Until I think about him as he was when I last touched him
And how he would have been, were I to be with him today
Those very rare occasions dont let up, they keep on coming
All Ive ever wanted and Im throwing it away
Its easy, its easy as life
But then I see the faces of a worn, defeated people
A father and a nation who wont let a coward run
Is this how the gods reward the faithful through the ages?
Forcing us to move and theyre the hardest things weve done
Theyre easy, so easy
And though Ill think about him
Til the earth draws in around me
And though I choose to leave him for another kind of love
This is no denial, no betrayal, but redemption
Redeemed in my own eyes and in the pantheon above
Its easy, its easy as life
Its easy as life
Its easy as life! |
Some punk with a shotgun killed young Danny Bailey
In cold blood, in the lobby of a downtown motel
Killed him in anger, a force he couldnt handle
Helped pull the trigger that cut short his life
And theres not many knew him the way that we did
Sure enough he was a wild one, but then arent most hungry kids?
Now its all over, Danny Bailey
And the harvest is in
Dillingers dead, oh
I guess the cops won again
Now its all over, Danny Bailey
And the harvest is in
Were running short of heroes back up here in the hills
Without Danny Bailey, were gonna have to break up our stills
So mark his grave well cause Kentucky loved him
Born and raised a proper, I guess life just bugged him
And he found faith in danger, a lifestyle he lived by
A running gun youngster in a sad restless age
Now its all over, Danny Bailey
And the harvest is in
Dillingers dead
I guess the cops won again
Now its all over, Danny Bailey
And the harvest is in |
Im gonna be a mighty king
So enemies beware
Well Ive never seen a king of beasts
With quite so little hair
Im gonna be the main event
Like no king was before
Im brushing up on looking down
Working on my roar!
Whoa, thus far a rather uninspiring thing
Oh I just cant wait to be king
You have a rather long way to go, young master, if you think—
No one saying, Do this
Now when I said that—
No one saying Be there
What I meant was—
No one saying, Stop that
No one saying, See here
Now, see here
Free to run around all day
Well thats definitely out
Free to do it all my way
I think its time that you and I arranged a heart to heart
Kings dont need advice from little hornbills for a start
If this is where the monarchy is headed, count me out
Out of service, out of Africa, I wouldnt hang about
This child is getting wildly out of wing, Simba
Oh, I just cant wait to be king
Everybody look left
Everybody look right
Everywhere you look, Im standing in the spotlight
Let every creature go for broke and sing
Lets hear it in the herd, on the wing
Its gonna be King Simbas finest fling
Oh, I just cant wait to be king
Oh, he just cant wait to be king
Oh, I just cant wait
To be king! |
Catch a star if you can
Wish for somethin special
Let it be me, my love is free
Sing a song to yourself
Think of someone listenin
One melody, youre all for me
Ill write a symphony just for you and me
If you let me love you
Ill paint a masterpiece just for you to see
If you let me love you, let me love you
Are you ready, are you ready for love?
Yes I am, are you
Are you ready, are you ready for love?
Yes I am, are you
Are you ready, are you ready for love?
Youre the one like the sun
Shine your love around me
Youll always be the one for me
Say the word, Ill be there
Lovin you forever
Dont let me go, just say its so
Well hear the music ring from the mountaintops
To the valley below us
Well serenade the world with a lullaby
So the angels will know us, angels will know us
Are you ready, are you ready for love?
Yes I am, are you
Are you ready, are you ready for love?
Yes I am, are you

Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band
Pretty eyed, pirate smile, youll marry a music man
Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand
And now shes in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand
Jesus freaks out in the street
Handing tickets out for God
Turning back she just laughs
The boulevard is not that bad
Piano man he makes his stand
In the auditorium
Looking on she sings the songs
The words she knows the tune she hums
But oh how it feels so real
Lying here with no one near
Only you and you can hear me
When I say softly, slowly
Hold me closer tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today
Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band

When she gets up in the morning
Its enough to wake the dead
Oh she turning on the radio
And dancing on my head
Its no good living in the sun
Playing guitar all day
Boogalooing with my friends
In that erotic way
Come on, Jamaica
In Jamaica all day
Dancing with your darling
Do Jamaica jerk-off that way
Come on, Jamaica
Everybody say
Were all happy in Jamaica
Do Jamaica jerk-off that way
Let the ladies and the gentlemen
Be as rude as they like
On the beaches, oh in the jungle
Where the people feel alright
So do it in Jamaica
Got plenty for you and me
Honky tonking with my baby
In that deep blue sea
Come on, Jamaica
In Jamaica all day
Dancing with your darling
Do Jamaica jerk-off that way
Come on, Jamaica
Everybody say
Were all happy in Jamaica
Do Jamaica jerk-off that way
Come on, Jamaica
In Jamaica all day
Dancing with your darling
Do Jamaica jerk-off that way
Come on, Jamaica
Everybody say
Were all happy in Jamaica
Do Jamaica jerk-off that way |
Every story, tale or memoir
Every saga or romance
Whether true or fabricated
Whether planned or happenstance
Whether sweeping through the ages
Casting centuries aside
Or a hurried brief recital
Just a thirty-minute ride
Whether bright or melancholy
Rough and ready, finely spun
Whether with a thousand players
Or a lonely cast of one
Every story, new or ancient
Bagatelle or work of art
All are tales of human failing
All are tales of love at heart
This is the story of a love that flourished in a time of hate
Of lovers no tyranny could separate
Love set into motion on the Niles shore
Destiny ignited by an act of war
Egypt saw the mighty river
As its very heart and soul
Source of life for all her people
That only Egypt could control
Destruction of her southern neighbor justified
Nubia exploited, left with little more than pride
Ohhh... |
I am here to tell you we can never meet again
Simple, really, isnt it? A word or two, and then
A lifetime of not knowing where or how or why or when
You think of me or speak of me or wonder what befell
The someone you once loved so long ago so well
Never wonder what Ill feel as living shuffles by
You dont have to ask me, and I need not reply
Every moment of my life from now until I die
I will think or dream of you and fail to understand
How a perfect love can be confounded out of hand
Is it written in the stars
Are we paying for some crime
Is that all that we are good for
Just a stretch of mortal time
Is this Gods experiment
In which we have no say
In which were given paradise
But only for a day
Nothing can be altered, oh, there is nothing to decide
No escape, no change of heart, no anyplace to hide
You are all Ill ever want, but this I am denied
Sometimes in my darkest thoughts, I wish Id never learned
What it is to be in love and have that love returned
Is it written in the stars
Are we paying for some crime
Is that all that we are good for
Just a stretch of mortal time
Is this Gods experiment
Oh, in which we have no say
In which were given paradise
But only for a day
Is it written in the stars
Are we paying for some crime
Is that all that we are good for
Just a stretch of mortal time
Is this Gods experiment
In which we have no say
In which were given paradise
But only for a day |
Goodbye Norma Jean
Though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled
They crawled out of the woodwork
And they whispered into your brain
They set you on the treadmill
And they made you change your name
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
And I would have liked to have known you
But I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did
Loneliness was tough
The toughest role you ever played
Hollywood created a superstar
And pain was the price you paid
Even when you died
Oh the press still hounded you
All the papers had to say
Was that Marilyn was found in the nude
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
And I would have liked to have known you
But I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend never did
Goodbye Norma Jean
Though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled
Goodbye Norma Jean
From the young man in the 22nd row
Who sees you as something as more than sexual
More than just our Marilyn Monroe
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
And I would have liked to have known you
But I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend never did
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend never did |
Its a little bit funny Lord, this feeling inside
Im not one of those who can easily hide
I dont have much money but, boy, if I did
Id buy a big mansion where we both could live
If, if, if I was a sculpture Lord, honey, but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a travelin show
I know its not much, I know its not much, but its the best I can do
You gave me a gift Lord, and Im gon sing it for you
And you can tell everybody that this is your song
It may be a quite, quite simple, but thats how its done
I hope you dont mind, I hope you dont mind
What I wrote down in words, words
How wonderful life is
When youre in the world, world, world
If, if
If I was on a rooftop, Id kick off my shoes
Ill write a few verses and then I get the blues
But the suns been quite, quite kind while I wrote this song
Its for people like you and people like me
I wanna, I wanna keep turnin on
So excuse me for forgetting, but these things I do Lord
You see, you see Ive forgotten if theyre green or blue
Anyway the thing is, anyway the thing is, what I really mean
Youve are the sweetest eyes, youve got the sweetest eyes
The clearest eyes Ive ever seen, I hope you go back
I hope you, I hope you got back and tell everybody
That this is your song
It may be quite, quite simple, but now thats how its done
I hope you dont mind, I hope you dont mind
But I wrote down in words, Lord, words
Im doin it for how wonderful it is
When youre in the world, world, world
If, if
If I sat upon a rooftop Id kick off my shoes, oh yeah
Ill write a few verses and then I get the blues
But the suns been quite, quite kind while I wrote this song
Its for people like you, people like me
I wanna, wanna keep turnin on, so excuse me, so excuse me
So excuse me forgetting, but these things I do
You see, you see Ive forgotten if theyre green or blue, baby
And anyway the thing is, anyway the thing is, what I really mean
You are the sweetest eyes, the sweetest eyes
The sweetest eyes Ive ever seen
I want you to go back, go back and and tell everybody
That Billy Pauls got a song
Im, Im gonna sit upon a, a rooftop and kick my shoes off
Im gonna write it , write it , write it
I might come out with the Gospel
The blues
The jazz
The rock and roll
Im gonna, got to, got to write me a simple song for everybody
Because this is my song
It may be quite, quite simple but thats the way its done
I hope you dont mind, I hope you dont mind
What I wrote down in words, words
You come back, you try to try again, try again
Tell everybody that Billy Pauls got a song
It may be quite, quite simple but thats how its done, baby
I hope you dont mind, I hope you dont mind
What I wrote down in words
Hold it, hold it, hold it, hold it ooooh
Get back, get, got, oh no |
Its gettin’ late, have you seen my mates?
Ma, tell me when the boys get here
Its seven oclock and I wanna rock
Wanna get a belly full of beer
My old man’s drunker than a barrel full of monkeys
And my old lady, she dont care
My sister looks cute in her braces and boots
A handful of grease in her hair
Oh, dont give us none of your aggravation
We had it with your discipline
Cause Saturday nights alright for fightin
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 night’s alright, alright, alright, ooh
Well, they’re packed pretty tight in here tonight
Im looking for a dolly who’ll 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!
Couple of the sounds 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
Saturday, Saturday, Saturday
Saturday, Saturday, Saturday
Saturday, Saturday, Saturday nights alright
Saturday, Saturday, Saturday
Saturday, Saturday, Saturday
Saturday, Saturday, Saturday night’s alright
Fight!
Oh, dont give us none of your aggravation
We had it with your discipline
Cause 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, ooh
Saturday, Saturday, Saturday
Saturday, Saturday, Saturday
Saturday, Saturday, Saturday nights alright |
Hello, baby, hello
Havent 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, were pretty good company
Looking for an island in our boat upon the sea
Harmony, gee, I really love you and I wanna love you forever
And dream of never, never, never leaving harmony
Hello, baby, hello
Open up your heart and let your feelings flow
Youre not unlucky knowing me
Keeping the speed real slow
In any case I set my own pace by stealing the show
Say hello, hello
Ah!
Harmony and me, were 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 never, never, never leaving harmony
Never leaving harmony
Harmony
Harmony
Harmony
Harmony
Harmony

Ah-ah! |
What happened here as the New York sunset disappeared?
I found an empty garden among the flagstones there
Who lived here? He must have been a gardener that cared a lot
Who weeded out the tears and grew a good crop
Now it all looks strange
Its funny how one insect can damage so much grain
And whats it for? This little empty garden by the brownstone door
And in the cracks along the sidewalk, nothin grows no more
Who lived here? He must have been a gardener that cared a lot
Who weeded out the tears and grew a good crop
And we are so amazed, were crippled and were dazed
A gardener like that one, no one can replace
And Ive been knockin, but no one answers
And Ive been knockin most of the day
Oh, and Ive been callin, oh, hey, hey, Johnny
Cant you come out to play?
And through their tears
Some say he farmed his best in younger years
But hed have said that roots grow stronger, if only he could hear
Who lived there? He must have been a gardener that cared a lot
Who weeded out the tears and grew a good crop
Now we pray for rain, and with every drop that falls
We hear, we hear your name
And Ive been knockin, but no one answers
And Ive been knockin most of the day
Oh, and Ive been callin, Oh, hey, hey, Johnny
Cant you come out to play?
And Ive been knockin, but no one answers
And Ive been knockin most of the day
Oh, and Ive been callin, Oh, hey, hey, Johnny

I may not always love you
But long as there are stars above you
You never need to doubt it
Ill make you so sure about it
God only knows what Id be without you
If you should ever leave me
Though life would still go on believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would living do me
God only knows what Id be without you
La, la, la, la, la, la
God only knows what Id be without you
God only knows what Id be without you
God only knows what Id be without you
God only knows
God only knows what Id be without you
God only knows
God only knows what Id be without you
God only knows
God only knows what Id be without you
God only knows what Id be without you |
Its knowing what they want of me that scares me
Its knowing, having followed, I must lead
Its knowing that each person there compares me
To those in my past whom I now succeed
But how can whatever I do for them now be enough?
Be enough
Aida! Aida!
All we ask of you
Is a lifetime of service, wisdom, courage
To ask more would be selfish, but nothing less will do
Aida! Aida!
Your robe should be golden, your robe should be perfect
Instead of this ragged concoction of thread
But may you be moved by its desperate beauty
To give us new life, for wed rather be dead
Then live in the squalor and shame of the slave
To the dance!
Aida! Aida!
All we ask of you
Is a lifetime of service, wisdom, courage
To ask more would be selfish, but nothing less will do
Aida! Aida!
Aida...!
Aida! Aida!
Aida! Aida!
Aida!
I know expectations are wild and almost
Beyond my fulfillment, but they wont hear
A word of a doubt or see signs of a weakness
My nigh-on-impossible duty is clear
And if I can rekindle our ancestors dreams, its enough
Its enough
Aida! Aida! Aida!
Aida! Aida! Aida!
Its enough!
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah... |
I never thought hyenas essential
Theyre crude and unspeakably plain
But maybe theyve a glimmer of potential
If allied to my vision and brain
I know that your powers of retention
Are as wet as a warthogs backside
But thick as you are, pay attention
My words are a matter of pride
Its clear from your vacant expressions
The lights are not all on upstairs
But were talking kings and successions
Even you cant be caught unawares
So prepare for a chance of a lifetime
Be prepared for sensational news
A shining new era
Is tiptoeing nearer
And where do we feature?
Just listen to teacher!
I know it sounds sordid
But youll be rewarded
When at last I am given my dues
And injustice deliciously squared
Be prepared!
Yeah! Be prepared. Well be prepared. For what?
For the death of the king!
Is he sick?
No, fool! Were going to kill him... and Simba too!
Great idea! Who needs a king?
No king! No king! La la la la la la!
Idiots! There will be a king!
But you said...
I will be king! Stick with me, and youll never go hungry again!
Yay, all right! Long live the king! Long live the king!
Its great that well soon be connected
With a king wholl be all-time adored
Of course, quid pro quo, youre expected
To take certain duties on board
The future is littered with prizes
And though Im the main addressee
The point that I must emphasize is
You wont get a sniff without me!
So prepare for the coup of the century
Be prepared for the murkiest scam
Meticulous planning
Tenacity spanning
Decades of denial
Is simply why Ill
Ooo!
Well have food!
Lots of food
We repeat
Endless meat
Be king undisputed
Respected, saluted
And seen for the wonder I am
Yes, my teeth and ambitions are bared
Be prepared!
Yes, our teeth and ambitions are bared
Be prepared! |
I can see by your eyes you must be lying
When you think I dont have a clue
Baby, youre crazy
If you think that you can fool me
Because Ive seen that movie too
The one where the players are acting surprised
Saying loves just a four letter word
Between forcing smiles, with the knives in their eyes
Well, their actions become so absurd
So keep your auditions for somebody
Who hasnt got so much to lose
Cause you can tell by the lines Im reciting
That Ive seen that movie too
So keep your auditions for somebody
Who hasnt got so much to lose
Cause you can tell by the lines Im reciting
Ive seen that movie too
Its a habit I have, I dont get pushed around
Stop twinkling your star like you do
Im not the blueprint for all of your B-films
Because Ive seen that movie too
The one where the players are acting surprised
Saying loves just a four letter word
Between forcing smiles, oh, with the knives in their eyes
Oh, their actions become so absurd
So keep your auditions for somebody
Who hasnt got so much to lose
Cause you can tell by the lines Im reciting
That Ive seen that movie too
So keep your auditions for somebody
Who hasnt got so much to lose
Cause you can tell by the lines Im reciting
Ive seen that movie too
So keep your auditions for somebody

Blue jean baby, L.A. lady
Seamstress for the band
Pretty-eyed, a pirate smile
Youll marry a music man
Ballerina, you must have seen her
Dancin in the sand
And now shes in me, always with me
Tiny dancer in my hand
But, oh, how it feels so real
Lyin here with no one near
And only you, and you can hear me
When I say softly, slowly
Hold me closer, tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
Youve had a busy day today
Hold me closer, tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
Youve had a busy day today
Jesus freaks out in the street
Handin tickets out for God
Turnin back, she just laughs
The boulevard is not that bad
Piano man, he makes his stand
In the auditorium
Lookin on, she sings the songs
The words she knows, the tune she hums
Oh, how it feels so real
Lyin here with no one near
And only you, and you can hear me
When I say softly, slowly
Hold me closer, tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today
Hold me closer, tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today |
Way behind the water hole
A little down the line
The jungle and the plains and peaks
Are scheduled to be mine
Im gonna be the ruler
Of most everything around
From the grandest of the mountains
To the humble common ground
My reign will be a super awesome thing
Oh, I just cant wait to be king
Im gonna be a noble king
And scrupulously fair
I only need a little time
Perhaps a little hair
Im gonna be the mane event
Like no king was before
Im brushing up on looking down
Im working on my roar
The fauna and the flora gonna swing
Oh, I just cant wait to be king
No one saying do this
No one saying be there
No one saying stop that
No one saying see here
Free to run around all day
Ill be free to do it my way
No one saying do this
No one saying be there
No one saying stop that
No one saying see here
Free to run around all day
Free to do it my way
The time has come as someone said
To talk of many things
May be true
But I would rather stick to talking kings
Its easy to be royal
If youre already leonine
It isnt just my right
Even my left will be divine
The monarchy is waiting to go zing
Oh, I just cant wait to be king
Oh, I just cant wait to be king |
You could never know what its like
Your blood, like a winter, freezes just like ice
And theres a cold and lonely light that shines from you
You will wind up like the wreck you hide behind that mask you use
And did you think this fool could never win?
Well look at me, Im a-coming back again
I got a taste of love in a simple way
And if you need to know why Im still standing
You just fade away
And dont you know Im still standing better than I ever did?
Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid
And Im still standing after all this time
Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind
Once, I never coulda hoped to win
You started down the road, leaving me again
The threats you made were meant to cut me down
And if our love was just a circus, youd be a clown by now
You know Im still standing better than I ever did
Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid
Im still standing after all this time
Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind
Im still standing
Im still standing
Im still standing
Im still standing
And dont you know Im still standing better than I ever did?
Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid
And Im still standing after all this time
Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind
Im still standing
Im still standing
Im still standing
Im still standing
Im still standing
Im still standing
Im still standing |

When I was a cool young one
I worked in the colony
Paying my dues
Accepting without question the prevailing views
That a young mans life was one long grind
Diggin holes, standin guard, til it crossed my mind
I was wrong
All along
All that I needed
Was to have heeded

What a wonderful phrase

When I was a shallow youth
Cool calm reflection
I was never that good
I was a pawn in the game
I saw no trees for the wood
My future stretched behind me
I was over the hill
I put my best foot forward
But the other stood still
Take my word
I have heard
All that I needed
Was to have heeded

I lie awake and realize
That youre better than my dreams
Thought I found love so many times
Til you showed me what it means
Oh, oh, nothing compares to you
Oh no, baby
They were just doin it wrong
I gave up on love until you made me believe in it after all
After all, mm
If you never fell out of the sky
I dont know what I would do
I wouldnt trade one thousand lives
For the one I have with you
Oh, oh, nothing compares to you
Oh no, baby
They were just doin it wrong
I gave up on love until you madе me believе in it after all
After all, oh, ah
Baby, after all, oh-oh-woah
Its not the same, not the same, not the same, oh

Ive seen a lot of women who havent had much luck
Ive seen you looking like youve been run down by a truck
That aint nice to say sometimes I guess Im really hard
But Im gonna put buckshot in your pants if you step into my yard
When I watch the police come by and move you on
Well, I sometimes wonder whats beneath the mess youve become
Well, you may have been a pioneer in the trade of womens wear
But all you got was a mop-up job washing other peoples stairs
I should tell
I should tell
I should tell
Oh!
Im gonna tell the world youre a dirty little girl
Someone grab that bitch by the ears
Rub her down, scrub her back, and turn her inside out
Cause I bet she, I bet she
I bet she, oh, I bet she hasnt had a bath in a year
Heres my own belief about all the dirty girls
That you have to clean the oyster to find the pearl
And like rags that belong to you I belong to myself
So dont show up around here till your social workers helped
I should tell
I should tell
I should tell
Oh!
Im gonna tell the world youre a dirty little girl
Someone grab that bitch by the ears
Rub her down, scrub her back, and turn her inside out
Cause I bet she, oh, I bet she, let me tell you now
I bet she, oh, I bet she hasnt had a bath in a year
Oh ho
Ah ho!
Cause I bet she, oh, I bet she
I bet she, oh, I bet she hasnt had a bath in a year
Dirty little girl
Oh ho

Is it sinful if youre blue
To cheer up the place?
What is wrong with dressing up in satin and lace?
Get some earrings, some mascara, heels and a fan
Pretty soon you will start to feel a different man
What the hells wrong with expressing yourself?
Being who you want to be?
Will anybody die if you put on a dress?
Who the hell cares if your blushers a mess?
Start a new fashion, buck all the trends
Emphasise integrity
Cos what the hell is wrong with expressing yourself
For wanting to be me?
BILLY
What the hells wrong with wearing a dress?
Being who you wanna be?
MICHAEL
Who the hell is it you try to impress
All you have to do is learn to care less
Start a new fashion, buck all the trends
MICHAEL
Billy, sing something to me
What the hell is wrong with expressing yourself?
For trying to be free
If you wanna be a dancer, dance
If you wanna be a miner, mine
If you want to dress like somebody else
Fine, fine, fine
Its not a big statement, its not a weird act
Just a good idea at the time
Well not complain about your boring life
If youll just leave me to mine
If you wanna be a dancer, dance
If you wanna be a miner, mine
Everyone is different
Its the natural state
Its the facts, its plain to see
The worlds grey enough without making it worse
What we need is individuality |
You may not believe it
But I dont believe in miracles anymore
And when I think about it
I dont believe I ever did for sure
All the things Ive said in songs
All the purple prose you bought from me
Realitys just black and white
The sentimental things Id write
Never meant that much to me
I used to be the main express
All steam and whistles headin west
Pickin up my pain from door to door
Ridin on the storyline, furnace burnin overtime
But this train dont stop
This train dont stop
This train dont stop there anymore
You dont need to hear it
But Im dried up and sick to death of love
And if you need to know it
I never really understood that stuff
All the stars and bleeding hearts
All the tears that welled up in my eyes
Never meant a thing to me
Read em, as they say, and weep
I never felt enough to cry
I used to be the main express
All steam and whistles headin west
Pickin up my pain from door to door
Ridin on the storyline, furnace burnin overtime
But this train dont stop
This train dont stop
This train dont stop there anymore
When I say that I dont care
It really means my engines breakin down
The chisel chips my heart again
The granite cracks beneath my skin
I crumble into pieces on the ground
I used to be the main express
All steam and whistles headin west
Pickin up my pain from door to door
Ridin on the storyline, furnace burnin overtime
But this train dont stop
This train dont stop
This train dont stop there anymore
But this train dont stop
This train dont stop
This train dont stop there anymore
Oh yeah |
Its so strange he doesnt show me
More affection that he needs
Almost formal, too respectful
Never takes romantic leads
There are times when I imagine
Im not always on his mind
Hes not thinking what Im thinking
Always half a step behind
Always half a step behind
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Im in every kind of trouble
Cant you tell? Just look at me
Half ecstatic, half dejected
All in all Im all at sea
Easy terms I thought I wanted
Fill me now with chilling dread
You could never know the chaos
Of a life turned on its head
Of a life turned on its head
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I am certain that I love him
But a love can be misplaced
Have I compromised my people?
In my passion and my haste?
I could be his life companion
Anywhere but where we are
Am I leader? Am I traitor?
Did I take a step too far?
Did I take a step too far?
Its so strange he doesnt show me

Its an honor and a privilege, a duty I perform
With due sense of decorum and with pride
With deference and great respect very much the norm
Plus a hint of sycophancy on the side
To lay before my ruler all the facts about his realm
To fill him in on all the beastly news
Yes, yes, Zazu, get on with it!
In order that His Majesty stands sturdy at the helm
Aware of all the faunas latest views
Zazu! The morning report!
Er - yes, Sire: the morning report!
Chimps are going ape
Giraffes remain above it all
Elephants remember
Though just what I cant recall
Crocodiles are snapping up
Fresh offers from the banks
Showed interest in my nest egg
But I quickly said, No thanks!
We havent paid the hornbills
And the vultures have a hunch
Not everyone invited will be
Coming back from lunch
This is the morning report
Gives you the long and the short
Every grunt, roar, and snort
Not a tale I distort
On the morning report
What are you doing, son?
Pouncing...
Ah. Let an old pro show you how its done
The buffalo have got a beefAbout this seasons grass
Warthogs have been thwartedStay low
To the groundIn attempts to save their gas
Yes, stayFlamingoes in the pinkLowChasing secretary birds
Saffron is this seasons colorShh, not
A soundSeen in all the herds Moving down the rank and file
To near the bottom rungTake it slow
One more stepFar too many beetles are
Quite frankly in the dungThenPOUNCE!AAAAHH!
This is the morning report
Gives you the long and the short
Every grunt, roar and snort
Not a tale I distort
On the morning report
This is the morning report
Gives you the long and the short
Every grunt, roar and snort

Fra den dag vi blir sat her på jorden
Er alting umådeligt stort
Der er mere at se, end et menneske ka se
Mange ting som du aldrig får gjort
Der er mere at ta, end du aner
Mer at finde end nogen vil tro
Og den sol der står op over bjergenes top
Den er det lys, som får alt til at gro
I en verden af liv
Som vil ta dig med
Gennem frygt og håb
Og kærlighed
Til du finder fred
På den lange vandring
I en verden
En verden af liv
I en verden af liv
Som vil ta dig med
Gennem frygt og håb
Og kærlighed
Til du finder fred
På den lange vandring
I en verden

Sometimes you dream, sometimes it seems
Theres nothing there at all
You just seem older than yesterday
And youre waiting for tomorrow to call
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, five oclock evenings
Id liven the pace if I could
Oh, Id rather have a ham in my sandwich than cheese
But complaining wouldnt do any good
Lay back in my armchair, close eyes and think clear
I can hear hoof-beats ahead
Roy and Trigger have just hit the hilltop
While the wife and the kids are 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
Turn on the TV, shut out the lights
Roy Rogers is riding tonight |
And now, ladies and gentlemen, a rising star in rock and roll
Please welcome, all the way from London, England, Elton John!
I remember when rock was young
Me and Susie had so much fun
Holdin hands and skimmin’ stones
Had an old gold Chevy and a place of my own
But the biggest kick I ever got
Was doin a thing called the Crocodile Rock
While the other kids were rockin ’round the clock
We were hoppin and boppin to the Crocodile Rock
Well, Crocodile Rockin is something shockin
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 Rockin was out of sight

I want love, but its impossible
A man like me, so irresponsible
A man like me is dead in places
Other men feel liberated
I cant love, shot full of holes
Dont feel nothin, I just feel cold
Dont feel nothin, just old scars
Toughenin up around my heart
But I want love, just a different kind
I want love, wont break me down
Wont brick me up, wont fence me in
I want a love, that dont mean a thing
Thats the love I want
I want love
I want love on my own terms
After everything Ive ever learned
Me, I carry too much baggage
Oh, man Ive seen so much traffic
But I want love, just a different kind
I want love, wont break me down
Wont brick me up, wont fence me in
I want a love, that dont mean a thing
Thats the love I want
I want love
So bring it on, Ive been bruised
Dont give me love thats clean and smooth
Im ready for the rougher stuff
No sweet romance, Ive had enough
Oh, a man like me is dead in places
Other men feel liberated
But I want love, just a different kind
I want love, wont break me down
Wont brick me up, wont fence me in
I want a love, that dont mean a thing
Thats the love I want

Oh, I want love, just a different kind

For over seventy years miners of Durham County have come together once a year for their demonstration and gala day. This was the first Durham rally since the pits handed over to the people. This year one of the popular attraction was Mr. Herbert Morrison, who spoke of the link of solidarity between miners and other workers
I want you men of the pits to come through. I want these streets clean of nationalization to succeed triumphantly. The whole country is watching to see how this great new organization, this new adventure, this new experiment, comes out. The great experiment of socialism in a democracy depends on you. The whole future we are trying to conduct in our country is for all our people and all our children, and it depends on you
Through the dark, and
Through the hunger
Through the night and
Through the fear
Through the fight and
Years of hardship
Through the storms and
Through the tears
And although your feet are weary
And although your soul is worn
And although theyll try to break you
And although youll feel alone
We will always stand together
In the dark, right through the storm
We will stand, shoulder to shoulder
To keep us warm
And the stars look down on the mean and hungry
And the stars look down and show the way
And the stars look down and well stand together
To see a day
When the stars look down and know our history
When the stars look down upon our past
And the stars look down and see a future bright at last
When well stand as one, beneath the sun
And though our hands are bruised and bleeding
And our lungs are full with dust
And our hearts are near to breaking
We will never forgo the trust
We will fight through pain and hunger
Every arrow, every knife
And we will never give the hope up
Of a proud and honest life
So we will always stand together
Through the frost, the hail, the snow
The stars are our redemption
And so we know
[Spoken MINER}
Were out!
The stars look down when were abandoned
Look down in the heart of night
And the stars look down and give us vision
To see the light
The stars look down upon our struggle
The stars look down and know the past
The stars look down and see a future bright at last
When well stand as one, beneath the sun
All out together
All out as one
All out for victory
Till weve won
All out together
All out as one
All out for victory
All out till weve won

Take me up and hold me gently
Raise me up and hold me high
Through the nights under darkness
Will come a day when we will fly
And although weve been rejected
And although weve been outcast
We will find a new tomorrow
When we come to rest at last
And we will stand there proudly
And we will never walk alone
And we will be returned
Back to our home
And the stars look down at their reflection
And the stare look down and theres a light
When the stars look down theyll see the justice
And the right
And the stars look down and see the struggle
And the stars look down and know the pain
And the stars will lead us back to where light shines again
Where well stand as one beneath the sun
One beneath the sun
When we stand as one
All out together
When we stand as one
All out as one
When we stand as one
All out for victory
When we stand as one
Till weve won
{MINERS]
When we stand as one
All out together
When we stand as one
All out as one
When we stand as one
All out for victory
When we stand as one
Till weve won
When we stand as one
All out together
When we stand as one
All out as one
When we stand as one
All out for victory
All out till weve won |
I want love, but its impossible
A man like him, so irresponsible
A man like him is dead in places
Other men feel liberated
I cant love, shot full of holes
Dont feel nothing, I just feel cold
Dont feel nothing, just old scars
Toughenin up around my heart
I want love on my own terms
After everything I have ever learned
Me, I carry too much baggage
Oh God, Ive seen so much traffic
But I want love, just a different kind
I want love, wont break me down
(Wont brick me up, wont fence me in
I want a love that means something
Thats the love I want,) I want love |
Heres a piece of advice, Billy
Piss off out of here
Start everything a-fresh and dont look back
There is sod-all left for you here
You are very fucking special
Now piss off before I start to cry
Once we built visions on the ground we hewed
We dreamt of justice and of men renewed
All people equal, in all things
We once were heroes
Once were kings
But all great things must come to pass
We know the first will soon be last
And in the ground we may be lain
But a seed is sown to rise again
So we walk proudly
And we walk strong
All together
We will go as one
The ground is empty
And cold as hell
But we all go together when we go
You show em kiddo
Knock them dead, will ya?
Thanks, Tony
Alright
See ya, sunshine
We saw a land where wealth was shared
Each pain relieved, each hunger fed
Each man revered, each tyrant killed
Each soul redeemed, each life fulfilled
From each mans means to each his need
We saw a time man would be freed
We fought for all the things we saw
The battles lost but not the war
So we walk proudly
And we walk strong
All together
We will go as one
The ground is empty
And cold as hell
But we all go together when we go
We will go down but our heads are proud
We will go down with our voices loud
We will go down but come again
And we all go together when we go
Ah...
And we all go together when we go
We walk proudly, and we walk strong
All together we will go as one
The ground is empty, and cold as hell
But we all go together when we go
We walk proudly, and we walk strong
All together we will go as one
The ground is empty, and cold as hell
But we all go together when we go
We walk proudly, and we walk strong
All together we will go as one
The ground is empty, and cold as hell
But we all go together when we go |
I used to know this old scarecrow
He was my song
My joy and sorrow
Cast alone between the furrows
Of a field no longer sown by anyone
I held a dandelion
That said the time had come
To leave upon the wind
Not to return
When summer burned the earth again
Oh...
Oh...
Cultivate the freshest flower
This garden ever grew
Beneath these branches
I once wrote such childish words for you
But thats okay
Theres treasure children always seek to find
And just like us
You must have had
A once upon a time
Oh...
Oh...
Oh...
Oh...
Oh...
Oh...
Oh...
Oh...
Oh...
Oh...
Oh...
Oh...
Oh...
Oh...
Oh...
Oh... |
Wholl walk me down to church
When Im sixty years of age
When the ragged dog they gave me
Has been ten years in the grave
And señorita play guitar
Play it just for you
My rosary has broken
And my beads have all slipped through
Youve hung up your great coat and
Youve laid down your gun
You know the war you fought in
Wasnt too much fun
And the future youre giving me
Holds nothing for a gun
Ive no wish to be living
Sixty years on
Yes, Ill sit with you and talk
Let your eyes relive again
I know my vintage prayers
Would be very much the same
And Magdelena plays the organ
Plays it just for you
Your choral lamp that burns so low
When you are passing through
And the future youre giving me
Holds nothing for a gun
Ive no wish to be living
Sixty years on |
Dont wish it away
Dont look at it like its forever
Between you and me I could honestly say
That things could only get better
And while Im away
Dust out the demons inside
And it wont be long before you and me run
To the place in our hearts where we hide
And I guess thats why they call it the blues
Time on my hands could be time spent with you
Laughing like children, living like lovers
Rolling like thunder under the covers
And I guess thats why they call it the blues
Just stare into space
Picture my face in your hands
Live for each second without hesitation
And never forget Im your man
Wait on me girl
Cry in the night if it helps
Oh more than ever I simply love you
More than I love life itself
Oh, oh
And I guess thats why they call it the blues
Time on my hands could be time spent with you
Laughing like children, living like lovers
Rolling like thunder under the covers
And I guess thats why they call it the blues
Wait on me girl
Cry in the night if it helps
But more than ever I simply love you
More than I love life itself
And I guess thats why they call it the blues
Time on my hands could be time spent with you
Laughing like children, living like lovers
Rolling like thunder under the covers
And I guess thats why they call it the blues
Wait on me girl
And cry in the night if it helps
But more than ever I simply love you
More than I love life itself, yeah
And I guess thats why they call it the blues
Time on my hands could be time spent with you
Laughing like children, living like lovers
Rolling like thunder under the covers
And I guess thats why they call it the blues
And I guess thats why they call it the blues
And I guess thats why they call it the blues |
From this day on I own my fathers gun
We dug his shallow grave beneath the sun
I laid his broken body down below the southern land
It wouldnt do to bury him where any Yankee stands
Ill take my horse and Ill ride the Northern plain
To wear the colour of the greys and join the fight again
I will not rest until I know the cause is fought and won
From this day on until I die Ill wear my fathers gun
Id like to know where the riverboat sails tonight
To New Orleans, well, thats just fine alright
Because theres fighting there and the company needs men
So slip us a rope and sail on round the bend
As soon as this is over well go home
To plant the seeds of justice in our bones
To watch the children growing and see the women sewing
Therell be laughter when the bells of freedom ring
Id like to know where the riverboat sails tonight
To New Orleans, well, thats just fine alright
Because theres fighting there and the company, it needs men
Oh, I said, oh, I said, slip us a rope and sail on round the bend
Id like to know where the riverboat sails tonight
To New Orleans, well, thats just fine alright
Because theres fighting there and the company needs men
Oh, I said, oh, I said, slip us a rope and sail on round the bend
Oh
Id like to know where the riverboat, the riverboat sails tonight
To New Orleans, well, thats just fine alright
Because theres fighting there and the company needs men
Oh, I said, oh, I said, slip us a rope and sail on round the bend
Id like to know where the riverboat, the riverboat
The riverboat sails tonight
To New Orleans, well, thats just fine, thats just fine alright
Because theres fighting there and the company needs men
Oh, slip us a rope and sail on round the bend
Id like to know where the riverboat sails tonight
To New Orleans, well, thats just fine, thats just fine alright
Because theres fighting there and the company needs men
Oh, I said now, oh, I said, slip us a rope and sail on round the bend
Oh, slip us a rope
Sail on round, sail on round, sail on round, sail on round
Sail on round the bend
Oh, I said
Thats just fine alright |
Theres a calm surrender to the rush of day
When the heat of a rolling wind can be turned away
An enchanted moment, and it sees me through
And its enough for this restless warrior just to be with you
And can you feel the love tonight?
It is where we are
Its enough for this wide-eyed wanderer
That weve got this far, ooh
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Theres a time for everyone if they only learn
That the twisting kaleidoscope moves us all in turn
Theres a rhyme and reason to the wild outdoors
When the heart of this star-crossed voyager beats in time with yours
And can you feel the love tonight?
It is where we are
Its enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best
Can you feel the love tonight?
It is where we are
Its enough for this wide-eyed wanderer
That weve got this far
Can you feel the love tonight?
It is where we are
Its enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best
Can you feel the love tonight?
The peace the evening brings
The world, for once, in perfect harmony
With all its living things |

Desde el día que al mundo llegamos
Y nos ciega el brillo del sol
Hay mucho más para ver de lo que se puede ver
Más para hacer de lo que da el vigor
Son muchos más los tesoros
De los que se podrán descubrir
Mas bajo la luz del sol jamás habrá distinción
Grandes y chicos han de convivir
En el ciclo sin fin que nos mueve a todos
Y aunque estemos solos, debemos buscar
Hasta encontrar nuestro gran legado
En el ciclo, el ciclo sin fin
Es un ciclo sin fin que nos mueve a todos
Y aunque estemos solos, debemos buscar
Hasta encontrar nuestro gran legado

When I look back upon my life
Its always with a sense of shame
Ive always been the one to blame
For everything I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common, too
Its a, its a, its a, its a sin
Its a sin
Everything Ive ever done
Everything I ever do
Every place Ive ever been
Everywhere Im going to
Its a sin
At school they taught me how to be
So pure in thought and word and deed
They didnt quite succeed
For everything I long to do
No matter when or whеre or who
Has one thing in common, too
Its a, its a, its a, its a sin
Its a sin
Everything Ivе ever done
Everything I ever do
Every place Ive ever been
Everywhere Im going to
Its a sin
Father, forgive me
I tried not to do it
Turned over a new leaf
Then tore right through it
Whatever you taught me
I didnt believe it
Father, you fought me
Cause I didnt care
And I still dont understand
Still dont understand, yeah
So I look back upon my life
Forever with a sense of shame
Ive always been the one to blame
For everything I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common, too
Its a, its a, its a, its a sin
Its a sin
Everything Ive ever done
Everything I ever do
Every place Ive ever been
Everywhere Im going to
Its a sin
Its a, its a, its a, its a sin
Its a sin
Everything Ive ever done
Everything I ever do
Every place Ive ever been
Everywhere Im going to
Its a sin |
Ive written a song
That I hope is going to bring the world together
Put down your guns and bombs
And just make love forever
Hes come to heal the world
And make our nations calmer
I am the Austrian Jesus
He is the white Obama
Wars just based on hate and fear
Stop fighting North and South Korea
Youre both basically Chinese
And hes Brüno, dove of peace
You are Brüno, dove of peace
You are Brüno, dove of peace
You are Brüno, dove of peace
I have a dream for the third world: clean water, food and teaching
In every village and every town, a place for anal bleaching
We need to rid the world of hunger
Im just like Bono except much younger
He is only nineteen
Ich bin Brüno, dove of peace
Hey, hey, he gay, he gay. Ok |
It seems as though Ive lived my life
On the bad side of the moon
To stir your dregs in sickness still
Without the rustic spoon
Common people live with me
Where the light has never shone
And the hermits flock like a hummingbirds
To speak in a foreign tongue
Im a light world away
From the people who make me stay
Sitting on the bad side of the moon
Im a light world away
From the people who make me stay
Sitting on the bad side of the moon
Who is my life, who is my life, who is my life
Who is my life, who is my life, who is my life
There isnt no need for watchdogs here
To justify our ways
We live our life in manacles
The main cause of our stay
Exiled here from other worlds
My sentence comes too soon
Why should I be made to pay
Sitting on the bad side of the moon
Im a light world away
From the people who make me stay
Sitting on the bad side of the moon
Im a light world away
From the people who make me stay
Sitting on the bad side of the moon
Who is my life, who is my life, who is my life
Who is my life, who is my life, who is my life
Who is my life, who is my life, who is my life |
Life isnt everything
Isnt everything
Isnt everything
Life isnt everything

Life isnt everything
Isnt everything

Snow, cement
And ivory young towers
Someone called us Babylon
Those hungry hunters tracking down the hours
But where were all your shoulders when we cried?
Were the darlings on the sideline
Dreaming up such cherished lies
To whisper in your ear before you die?
Its party time for the guys in the tower of Babel
Sodom meet Gomorrah, Cain meet Abel
Have a ball yall
See the letches crawl with the call girls under the table
Watch them dig their graves
Cause Jesus dont save the guys
In the tower of Babel
Watch them dig their graves
Cause Jesus dont save the guys
In the tower of Babel, no, no, no
Junk, angel
This closets always stacked
The dealers in the basement
Filling your prescription for a brand new heart attack
But where were all your shoulders when we cried?
Were the doctors in attendance
Saying how they felt so sick inside
Or was it just the scalpel blade that lied? |
We all lead such elaborate lives
Wild ambitions in our sights
How an affair of the heart survives
Days apart and hurried nights
Seems quite unbelievable to me
I dont want to live like that
Seems quite unbelievable to me
I dont want to love like that
I just want our time to be
Slower and gentler, wiser, free
We all live in extravagant times
Playing games we cant all win
Unintended emotional crimes
Take some out, take others in
Im so tired of all were going through
I dont want to live like that
Im so tired of all were going through
I dont want to love like that
I just want to be with you
Now and forever, peaceful, true
This may not be the moment
To tell you face to face
But I could wait forever
For the perfect time and place
We all lead such elaborate lives
We dont know whose words are true
Strangers, lovers, husbands, wives
Hard to know whos loving who
Too many choices tear us apart
I dont want to live like that
Too many choices tear us apart
I dont want to love like that
I just want to touch your heart
May this confession be the start |
My bulldog is barking in the backyard
Enough to raise a dead man from his grave
And I cant concentrate on what Im doing
Disturbance going to crucify my days
And the days they get longer and longer
And the nighttime is a time of little use
For I just get ugly and older
I get juiced on Mateus and just hang loose
And I get bombed for breakfast in the morning
I get bombed for dinnertime and tea
I dress in rags, smell a lot, and have a real good time
Im a genuine example of a social disease
My landlady lives in a caravan
Well, that is when she isnt in my arms
And it seems I pay the rent in human kindness
But my liquor also helps to grease her palms
And the ladies are all getting wrinkles
And theyre falling apart at the seams
Well, I just get high on tequila
And see visions of vineyards in my dreams
And I get bombed for breakfast in the morning
I get bombed for dinnertime and tea
I dress in rags, smell a lot, and have a real good time
Im a genuine example of a social disease
And the ladies are all getting wrinkles
And theyre falling apart at the seams
Well, I just get high on tequila
And see visions of vineyards in my dreams
And I get bombed for breakfast in the morning
I get bombed for dinnertime and tea
I dress in rags, smell a lot, and I have a heart of gold
Im a genuine example of a social disease
Im a genuine example of a social disease |
Hold me close, youre just to far
Or I can bring you in, so youre right up with the stars
But still down to earth, with our love, were on Mars
I can give you the chance to be what they cant
I just wanna be sure
That youre not the type to just open doors
Ive gone so far to be what I can
Ive worked so hard to be where I am
So Ill just...
Hold you closer and wont let go
I need to know how you feel too
So hold me closer and dont let go
Im falling so please just dont let go
Hold me closer, tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today
Cs
Mr Munk is immaculate
I aint stylish, Im sky-lish, yes, my levels so up there
My ladys adjacent, I smell her fragrance
And whats under my Armanis goes up there
Now Im in the mood, full salute
No bubberoose, just apple juice
And she aint ever got to tell me hold her closer
Cause the girls on the trol aint getting closer
Munk
Hold you closer and wont let go
I need to know how you feel too
So hold me closer and dont let go
Im falling so please just dont let go
Hold me closer, tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today
M-U-S-I-C
Ive gone so far, Ive worked so hard, listen
I hope you recognise what you really mean
Without you, I couldnt do this song I sing
I hope you like it too, cause its nothing but the truth
Youre not number one but you will be soon, so Ill
Hold you closer and wont let go
I need to know how you feel too
So hold me closer and dont let go
Im falling so please just dont let go
Hold me closer, tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today
Hold me closer, tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today
M-U-S-I-C legend |
How have I come to this?
How did I slip and fall?
How did I throw half a lifetime away
Without any thought at all?
This shouldve been my time
Its over, it never began
I closed my eyes to so much for so long
And I no longer can
I try to blame it on fortune
Some kind of shift in the stars
But I know the truth and it haunts me
Its flown just a little too far
I know the truth and it mocks me
I know the truth and it shocks me
Its flown just a little too far
Why do I want him still?
Why when theres nothing there?
How to go on with the rest of my life
To pretend I dont care
This shouldve been my time
Its over, it never began
I closed my eyes to so much for so long
And I no longer can
I try to blame it on fortune
Some kind of twist in my fate
But I know the truth and it haunts me
I learned it a little too late
I know the truth and it mocks me
I know the truth and it shocks me
I learned it a little too late
Too late |
Amélie
Goodbye, girl
Amélie
I give you your wings
Fly so free
And join the angel choir, girl
And teach them to sing
Amélie
Beats me, girl
Why you had to bid this planet adieu
Let me be the first to say
Merci, girl
That means, Thank you!
Were an ocean of rowboats
You decided to save
Lifting us to the shoreline
Like a wave
When your harp and your halo hit the sky
Look down, well be waving goodbye!
Amélie
Our flashlight
How we see when the power blows
Shine on me like a thousand Zippos
No! A zillion Zippos!
Half-blind a blizzard
On a slippery slope
You are up at the summit
With a rope
When your harp and your halo hit the sky
Look down, well be waving goodbye!
Oh, where will we go?
Oh, who will appease us?
Youre nicer than Oprah, bigger than Jesus!
Oprah!
And you get a car!
And you get a car!
Yeah!
We shout!
We shout from the hills
We shout from a mesa
You’re half Santa Claus
Half Mother Teresa
Saving orphans!
Stopping fires!
Ive got the high notes
And Im singing with the choir!
Yeah!
Youre perfect!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
YEAH!! |
Ive figured out where I went wrong
The script not followed then was awfully long
Too much pluck, too little of
The acting right, not actin up
Ive worn the world upon my back
Would someone else but me pick up the slack?
Just because I could say
Its my life, do things my way
Now Im lookin up more than I look down
The views a whole lot better second time around
Too much of me was hidden in the shadows
I looked up and felt my feet lift off the ground
Color a lot with a broader stroke
The laughter comes as easy as the jokes
Nowadays, Im thinkin bout
Time is wasted lookin back
Now Im lookin up more than I look down
The views a whole lot better second time around
Too much of me was hidden in the shadows
I looked up and felt my feet lift off the ground
You drop a bucket in a well
Its dark and deep down there
Crank the handle, bring it up
The water, crystal clear
Im lookin up more than I look down
The views a whole lot better second time around
Too much of me was hidden in the shadows
I looked up and felt my feet lift off the ground
Lookin up more than I look down
The views a whole lot better second time around
Too much of me was hidden in the shadows
I looked up and felt my feet lift off the ground
Lookin up
Lookin up
Lookin up
Lookin up |
To sail away to half discovered places
To see the secrets so few eyes have seen
To see moments of enchantment on our faces
The moments when we smile and those in between
If I could leave this place then Id be sailing
To corners of my land where there would be
Sweet southern winds of liberty prevailing
The beauty so majestic and so free
I will take you sailing, South. You can be my guide
Thered be no ties of time and space to bind me
And no horizon I could not pursue
Id leave the worlds misfortunes far behind me
Id put my faith and trusting in something new
But why should I tell you this
A stranger I just met
A woman whom I hardly know at all and should forget
A journey we can only dream of
Enchantment passing through
And how is it I say these things
So easily to you
Ill never take you sailing! I might never leave Egypt again!
You talk as though youve been enslaved! If you dont like your fate, change it! You are your own master, there are no shackles on you! So dont expect any pity or understanding from this humble palace slave!
And why did I tell her this?
A stranger Ive just met
A woman who I hardly know at all and will forget
Anonymous and gone tomorrow
Enchantment passing through
And all Ive done is tell her things
She already knew
She knew ...She knew.... |
He called us slobbering!
Said we were mangy!
Did I hear stupid?
Huh?
Tell us again, gee
Its so incredible
That youre so rude
When youre so edible
When you are food!
Its time to chow down
Chow down!
Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-chow down
Im chompin at the bit, baby
My stomachs on the growl, son
Chow down!
Chow down!
Youve both been invited on a date
Two courses handed to us on a plate
Well have you raw, wont be long to wait
Seeing youre already toasty brown
Chow down!
Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-chow down!
Your ribs are looking so tasty
Such chewy little chops, chums
Eat up!
Now wasnt it her mom who ate your dad?
And having parents eaten makes us mad
Were gonna settle up the score a tad
Weve never had a snack of such renown
Chow down!
Chow down!
Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh
What, Ed? What is it?
Hey, did we order this dinner to go?
No...
Well, there it goes!
I think we should begin the meal from scratch
So many juicy segments to detach
Be good as gold, for youre as good as carved
Here, kitty kitty
Were starved! |
Youre not a ship to carry my life
You are nailed to my love in many lonely nights
Ive strayed from the cottages and found myself here
For I need your love your love protects my fears
And I wonder sometimes and I know Im unkind
But I need you to turn to when I act so blind
And I need you to turn to when I lose control
Youre my guardian angel who keeps out the cold
Did you paint your smile on, well, I said I knew
That my reason for living was for loving you
Were related in feeling but youre high above
Youre pure and youre gentle with the grace of a dove
And I wonder sometimes and I know Im unkind
But I need you to turn to when I act so blind
And I need you to turn to when I lose control
Youre my guardian angel who keeps out the cold |
Ive always said that ones enough to love
Now I hear youre braggin one is not enough
Well, somethin tells me youre not satisfied
You got plans to make me one of four or five
I guess this kind of things just in your blood
But you wont catch me carvin up my love
I aint no puzzle piece that needs to fit
If it takes more than me, lets a-call it quits
Cause I dont wanna go on with you like that
Dont wanna be a feather in your cap
I just wanna tell you, honey, I aint mad
But I dont wanna go on with you like that
Oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh
Whoa-oh
Oh yeah
It gets so hard sometimes to understand
This vicious circles gettin outta hand
Dont need an extra eye to see
That the fire spreads a-faster in a breeze
And I dont wanna go on with you like that
Dont wanna be a feather in your cap
I just wanna tell you, honey, I aint mad
But I dont wanna go on with you like that
No, I dont wanna go on with you like that
One more set of boots on your welcome mat
Youll just a-have to quit em if you want me back
Cause I dont wanna go on with you like that
Oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh
Whoa-oh
Oh yeah
Oh, if you wanna spread it around, sister, thats just fine
But I dont want no second hand a-feedin me lines
If you wanna hold someone in the middle of the night
Call out the guards, turn out the light
And I dont wanna go on with you like that
Dont wanna be a feather in your cap
I just wanna tell you, honey, I aint mad
But I dont wanna go on with you like that
No, I dont wanna go on with you like that
One more set of boots on your welcome mat
Youll just have to quit em if you want me back
No, I dont wanna go on with you like that
Oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh
Whoa-oh
Oh yeah
Oh-oh-oh

Whoa-oh
Oh yeah
I dont wanna

Go on with you like that

Takin me back |
Hey kids, shake it loose together
The spotlights hitting something
Thats been known to change the weather
Well kill the fatted calf tonight, so stick around
Youre gonna hear electric music, solid walls of sound
Oh, Candy and Ronnie, have you seen them yet?
Oh, but theyre so spaced out
B-B-B-B-B-Bennie and the Jets
Oh, but theyre weird and theyre wonderful
Oh, Bennie, shes really keen
Shes got electric boots, a mohair suit

Tonight
Do we have to fight again
Tonight?
I just want to go to sleep
Turn out the light
But you want to carry grudges
Oh, nine times out of ten
Oh, I see the storm approaching
Long before the rain starts falling
Tonight
Does it have to be the old thing
Tonight?
Oh, its late, too late
To chase the rainbow that youre after
Id like to find a compromise
Oh, and place it in your hands
My eyes are blind, my ears cant hear
Oh, and I cannot find the time
Tonight
Just let the curtains close in silence
Tonight
Why not approach with less defiance
The man whod love to see you smile
Whod love to see you smile
Tonight
Tonight
Just let the curtains close in silence
Tonight
Why not approach with less defiance
The man whod love to see your smile
The man whod love to see your smile
The man whod love to see your smile
Tonight |
You know nothing about me and care even less
How could you understand our emptiness?
Youve plundered our wisdom, our knowledge, our wealth
In bleeding us dry, you long for our spirit
But that, you will never possess
The past is now another land, far beyond my reach
Invaded by insidious foreign bodies, foreign speech
Where timeless joys of childhood lie broken on the beach
The present is an empty space between the good and bad
A moments leading nowhere, too pointless to be sad
But time enough to lay to waste every certainty I had
The future is a barren world from which I cant return
Both heartless and material its wretched spoils, not my concern
Shining like an evil sun as my childhood treasures burn
Shining like an evil sun as my childhood treasures burn |
What were you like as a child, Elton?
As a child?
I was justified when I was five
Raisin Cain, I spit in your eye
Times are changin, now the poor get fat
But the fevers gonna catch you when the bitch gets back
Eat meat on a Friday, thats alright
Even like steak on a Saturday night
I could bitch the best at your social dos
I get high in the evenin sniffin pots of glue, oh
Im a bitch, Im a bitch
Oh, the bitch is back
Stone-cold sober, as a matter of fact
I can bitch, I can bitch
Cause Im better than you
Its the way that I move
The things that I do
Im a bitch, Im a bitch
Oh, the bitch is back
Stone-cold sober, as a matter of fact
I can bitch, I can bitch
Cause Im better than you
Its the way that I move
The things that I do, oh
Bitch, bitch, the bitch is back
Bitch, bitch, the bitch is back
Bitch, bitch, the bitch is back
Bitch, bitch, the bitch is back
Reggie, youre late!
Ive had to throw your dinner in the bin, get inside! |
Tonight, do we have to fight again?
Tonight, I just wanna go to sleep
Turn out the light, but you wanna carry grudges
Oh, nine times outta ten, I see the storm approaching
Long before the rain starts falling
Tonight, does it have to be the old thing?
Tonight, oh, its late, too late
To chase the rainbow that youre after
Id like to find a compromise, ooh, and place it in your hands
My eyes are blind, my ears cant hear
Oh, and I cannot find the time
Tonight, just let the curtains close in silence
Tonight, why not approach with less defiance?
The man whod love to see you smile
Whod love to see you smile tonight
Tonight, just let the curtains close in silence
Tonight, why not approach with less defiance?
The man whod love to see you smile
The man whod love to see you smile
The man whod love to see you smile tonight |
An extremely quiet child they called you in your school reports
Hes always taken interest in the subjects that hes taught
So what was it that brought the squad car screaming up your drive
To notify your parents of the manner in which you died
At St. Patricks every Sunday, Father Fletcher heard your sins
Oh, hes unconcerned with competition he never cares to win
But blood stained a young hand that never held a gun
And his parents never thought of him as their troubled son
Now youll never get to Heaven Mama said
Remember Mama said
Ticking, ticking
Grow up straight and true blue
Run along to bed
Hear it, hear it, ticking, ticking
They had you holed up in a downtown bar screaming for a priest
Some gook said His brains just snapped then someone called the police
Youd knifed a Negro waiter who had tried to calm you down
Oh youd pulled a gun and told them all to lay still on the ground
Promising to hurt no one, providing they were still
A young man tried to make a break, with tear-filled eyes you killed
That gun butt felt so smooth and warm cradled in your palm
Oh your childhood cried out in your head they mean to do you harm
Dont ever ride on the devils knee Mama said
Remember mama said
Ticking, ticking
Pay your penance well, my child
Fear where angels tread
Hear it, hear it, ticking, ticking
Within an hour the news had reached the media machine
A male caucasian with a gun had gone berserk in Queens
The area had been sealed off, the kids sent home from school
Fourteen people lying dead in a bar they called the Kicking Mule
Oh they pleaded to your sanity for the sake of those inside
Throw out your gun, walk out slow just keep your hands held high
But they pumped you full of rifle shells as you stepped out the door
Oh you danced in death like a marionette on the vengeance of the law
Youve slept too long in silence Mama said
Remember Mama said
Ticking, ticking
Crazy boy, youll only wind up with strange notions in your head
Hear it, hear it, ticking, ticking |
adaptation française Luc Aulivier
Cest terrible, cest affreux, mais ils se moquent de nous !
Lamour samène et nous, pauvres pouilleux
Ils nous jettent tous les deux
Sous les diamants, les étoiles, quel magique univers !
Mais dans cette romantique atmosphère
Ça sent mauvais dans lair
Lamour brille sous les étoiles dune étrange lumière
La terre entière, en parfaite harmonie, vit un moment royal
Je voudrais lui dire Je taime mais comment lui avouer ?
Mon secret mes problèmes, impossible, elle serait trop blessée
Quel lourd secret cache-t-il derrière tant de rancœurs ?
Moi je sais quil est ce roi en exil qui règne dans mon cœur
Lamour brille sous les étoiles dune étrange lumière
La terre entière, en parfaite harmonie, vit un moment royal
Lamour brille sous les étoiles, illuminant leurs cœurs
Et sa lumière éclaire à linfini un sublime espoir
Sils senfuient vers leur rêve ce soir, dans leur folle ronde
Si notre ami nous dit au revoir, nous serons seuls au monde ! |
There isnt much I havent shared
With you along the road
And through it all thered always be
Tomorrows episode
Suddenly that isnt true
Theres another avenue beckoning
The great divide
Ask no questions, take no side
Whos to say whos right or wrong?
Whose course is braver run?
All I know is all we had
Is over, said, and done
Friends never say goodbye
Friends never say goodbye
Friends never say goodbye
Never say goodbye
Friends never say goodbye
Friends never say goodbye
Well, good luck
Yeah, you too
Never say goodbye |

Take my hand and lead the way
Out of the darkness and into the light of the day
And take me somewhere Ill be safe
Carry my lifeless body away from the pain
Cos I know what Ive been missing
And I know that I should try
But theres hope in this admission
And theres freedom in your eyes
And we cry away
Im sick and tired of being afraid
If I cry any more then my tears will wash me away
But when I hear you call my name
I whisper the word that I never thought Id ever say
And I hope to God youll listen
And youll keep me safe from harm
Cos I found what I was missing
When I fell into your arms
And we cry away
I can feel the darkness coming
And Im afraid of myself
Call my name and Ill come running
Cos I just need some help
I can feel the darkness coming
And Im afraid of myself
Call my name and Ill come running
Cos I just need some help |

Til we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the circle
The circle of life
Circle of life |
Cool grass blowing up the pass
Dont you know Im feeling mellow?
Oh, I love your roman nose
The way you curl your toes, baby
Make me feel so mellow
Its the same old feeling I get when youre stealing
Back into my bed again
With the curtains closed
Oh, and the window froze
By the rhythm of the rain
Ooh, you make me mellow
Oh, you make me mellow
Rocking smooth and slow
Mellows the feeling that we get
Watching the coal fire glow
Oh, you make me mellow
Oh, I make you mellow
Wrecking the sheets real fine
Heaven knows what you sent me, Lord
But God, this is a mellow time
Going down to the stores in town
Getting all the things we need
Oh, dont forget the beer
Oh, my little dear
It helps to sow the mellow seed
And it cant be bad, all the love Ive had
Coursing through my life
Oh, down in the pass
Where the wind blows fast
And mellow, mellows feeling right
Oh, I make you mellow
Oh, you make me mellow
Rocking smooth and slow
Mellows the feeling that we get
Watching the coal fire glow
Oh, you make me mellow
Oh, I make you mellow
Wrecking the sheets real fine
Heaven knows what you sent me, Lord
But God, this is a mellow time
Oh, you make me mellow
Oh, you make me mellow
Rocking smooth and slow
Mellows the feeling that we get
Watching the coal fire glow
Oh, you make me mellow
Oh, I make you mellow
Wrecking the sheets real fine
Heaven knows what you sent me, Lord
But God, this is a mellow time
Oh! You make me mellow
Oh! You make me mellow
Rocking the sheets real fine
Heaven knows what you sent me, Lord
But God, this is a mellow time
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Wrecking the sheets real fine
Heaven knows what you sent me, Lord
But God, this is a mellow time |
Picture yourself in a boat on a river
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes
Cellophane flowers of yellow and green
Towering over your head
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes
And shes gone
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Ohh
Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain
Where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers
That grow so incredibly high
Newspaper taxis appear on the shore
Waiting to take you away
Climb in the back with your head in the clouds
And youre gone
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Ohh
Newspaper taxis appear on the shore
Waitin to take you away
Climb in the back with your head in the clouds
And youre gone
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Ohh
Picture yourself on a train in a station
With plasticine porters with looking glass ties
Suddenly, someone is there at the turnstile
The girl with kaleidoscope eyes
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Ohh
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Ohh
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Ohh
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Ohh
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Ohh |
Uh, uh, uh
Uh, uh, uh
Cmon
I was justified when I was five
Raising Cain, I spit in your eye
Times are changing, now the poor get fat
But the fevers gonna catch you when the bitch gets back
Eat meat on Friday thats alright
Even like steak on a Saturday night
I can bitch the best at your social dos
I get high in the evening sniffing pots of glue
Im a bitch, Im a bitch
Oh, the bitch is back
Stone cold sober as a matter of fact
I can bitch, I can bitch
Cause Im better than you
Its the way that I move
The things that I do, oh
Uh, uh, uh
Woah, uh
Oh, oh
I entertain by picking brains
Sell my soul by dropping names
I dont like those, my God, whats that?
Oh, its full of nasty habits when the bitch gets back
Oh, oh
Im a bitch, Im a bitch
Oh, the bitch is back
Stone cold sober as a matter of fact
Im a bitch, Im a bitch
Cause Im better than you
Its the way that I move
The things that I do, oh
Woah, oh oh oh
Woah oh oh oh
Woah
Im a bitch, Im a bitch
Oh, the bitch is back
Stone cold sober as a matter of fact
I can bitch, I can bitch
Cause Im better than you
Its the way that I move
The things that I do, oh
Bitch, bitch, the bitch is back
Bitch, bitch, the bitch is back
Bitch, bitch, the bitch is back
Bitch, bitch, the bitch is back
Hey |
There was a face on a hoarding that someone had drawn on
And just enough time for the night to pass by without warning
Away in the distance theres a blue flashing light
Someones in trouble somewhere tonight
As the flickering neon stands ready to fuse
The wind blows away all of yesterdays news
Well, theyve locked up their daughters
And they battened the hatches
They always could find us but they never could catch us
Through the grease-streaked windows of an all-night cafe
We watched the arrested get taken away
And that cigarette haze has ecology beat
As the whores and the drunks filed in from the street
Cause the steams in the boiler, the coals in the fire
If you ask how I am then Ill just say inspired
If the thorn of a rose is the thorn in your side
Then youre better off dead if you havent yet died
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ah
Ah
La-la-la-la-la...
Cause the steams in the boiler, the coals in the fire
If you ask how I am then Ill just say inspired
If the thorn of a rose is the thorn in your side
Then youre better off dead if you havent yet died
Better off dead
Better off dead
Better off dead
Better off dead
Better off dead
Better off dead
Better off dead
Better off dead |
Peering out of tiny eyes
The grubby hands that gripped the rail
Wiped the window clean of frost
As the morning air laid on the latch
A whistle awakened someone there
Next door to the nursery just down the hall
A strange new sound you never heard before
A strange new sound that makes boys explore
Tread neat so small those little feet
Amid the morning his small heart beats
So much excitement yesterday
That must be rewarded, must be displayed
Large hands lift him through the air
Excited eyes contain him there
The eyes of those he loves and knows
But whats this extra bed just here
His puzzled head tipped to one side
Amazement swims in those bright green eyes
Glancing down upon this thing
That make strange sounds, strange sounds that sing
In those silent happy seconds
That surround the sound of this event
A parents smile is made in moments
They have made for you a friend
And all you ever learned from them
Until you grew much older
Did not compare with when they said
This is your brand new brother |
You tell me theres an angel in your tree
Did he say hed come to call on me?
For things are getting desperate in our home
Living in the parish of the restless folks I know
Everybody now, bring your family down to the riverside
Look to the east to see where the fat stock hide
Behind four walls of stone the rich man sleeps
Its time we put the flame torch to their keep
Burn down the mission
If were gonna stay alive
Watch the black smoke fly to heaven
See the red flame light the sky
Burn down the mission
Burn it down to stay alive
Its our only chance of living
Take all you need to live inside
Deep in the woods the squirrels are out today
My wife cried when they came to take me away
But what more could I do just to keep her warm
Than burn, burn, burn, burn, down the mission walls
Now everybody, bring your family down to the riverside
Look to the east to see where the fat stock hide
Behind four walls of stone the rich man sleeps
Its time we put the flame torch to their keep
Burn down the mission, Lord
If were gonna stay alive
Watch the black smoke fly to heaven
See the red flame light the sky
Burn down the mission, Lord
If were gonna stay alive
Its our only chance of living
Take all you need to live inside |
