Street Life
Wish everybody would leave me alone, yeah!
They're always calling on my telephone
When I pick it up there's no-one there
So I walk outside just to take air
Come on with me cruising down the street
Who knows what you'll see, who you might meet
This brave new world's not like yesterday
It can take you higher than the milky way
Now I'm blinded I can really see, yeah
No more bright lights confusing me, no
Don't ask me why I'm feeling blue
Because loving you is all I can do, ooh
Hey good looking boys gather around
The sidewalk papers gutter press you down
All those lies can be so unkind
They can make you feel like you're losing your mind
Street Life(x3) What a life! Street Life(x3) That's the life!
Back to nature boys, Vasser girls too
Watch what you say, or think, or do
Continental, style strasse girls might
But you know exactly if it's wrong or right
Education is an important key, yes
But the good life's never won by degrees, no
Pointless passing through Harvard or Yale
Only window shopping, it's strictly no sale
Weekend starts Friday soon after eight
Your jet black magic helps you celebrate
You may be stranded if you stick around
And that's really something
Just Like You
Buttercup daisies
And most anything
They wither and fade
After blossom in spring
Time conquers innocence
Pride takes a fall
In knowledge lies wisdom
That's all
Everything changes
Weather blows hot or cold
Through alchemy iron turns gold
Quicksilver baby
So hard to pin down
Oh, when are you coming around?
Hopelessly grounded
I walk through the streets
Remembering how we spent time
Hopefully yearning that some day we'll meet
But when will we? How could we? Why? Oh my!
Fashion houses ladies
Need plenty loose change
When the latest creation
Is last year's fad rave
Thought patterns hazy
This auto style age
Will lady luck smile old and sage?
She knows that never again, no, I give up my heart
To gamble with fate is my crime
Nevertheless love, it's all here in my book
I'd write it but don't have much time
You see I know it sounds crazy
But what can I do?
I've fallen head over heels over you
Chameleon colour
All phases of moon
The shifting of planets
And leopard spots too
As destiny wills, it's a
Seasons will change... Just like you
Amazona
Amazona
Is a zone where
There is no doubt
No more fall out
Why don't you step through the mirror and see?
From Arizona to Eldorado
Sure is a mighty long way
Hey little girl is something wrong?
I know it's hard for you to get along
The bell tower rings
It tolls a hollow sound
But your castles in Spain
Still may be realised
And longings more profound
You see, every cloud it has a silver lining
And sometimes paradise around your corner lies
In Amazona everything is nice
Little one, come take my hand
I'll try to help you there
I'll take you there
Amazona
Getting closer
Oh, soon you'll see
Journey's over
We almost there..
Psalm
Try on your love
Like a new dress
The fit and the cut
Your friends to impress
Try on your smile
Square on your face
Showing affection
Should be no disgrace
Try out your God
Hope He will send
Kindness from strangers
On whom you depend
Try on His coat
A mantle most fine
Myriad colours
His harmony, thine
Believe in me
Once seemed a good line
Now belief in Jesus
Is faith more sublime
Head in the clouds
But I can't see the Lord
Short of perfection
I'll try to be good
I'll stand at His gate
I'll wait for His sign
Then I'll walk in His garden
When it's my time
Drink from His cup
Hush now don't you cry
His quiet waters
Will never, never run dry
Nearing death's vale
He's here by my side
He leads me to paradise
A mountain so high........high
Don't be afraid
Just treasure His word
Singing His praises
I know that I'll be heard
He's gonna take you by the hand
He's gonna make you feel so good
Open up your eyes
And then you'll see all that you should
Forget all your troubles
You will feel no pain
He's all that you need
He's your everything
When I'm feeling all at sea
Deliverance is that distant shore
I will not be worried
Some day His house will be my home, for ever more
For ever more(x11 with fade)
Serenade
Darkness falls 'round your window pane
A light still burns but just a smouldering flame
Is it the end of another affair?
An open engagement with gloom?
Or will you be smiling when the sun conjures up
A broken spell "au clair de lune?" (in the moonlight)
Silhouette as you draw the shade
Cloak of night. You know it's tailor made
Gee plan gymnastics by an ever glow fire
Could never mean the same as summer enchantment
By an old mill steam, from courtly love to costly game
Maybe I'm wrong for seeming, ungrateful, unforgiving
Oh how it hurts now you're finally leaving
I couldn't take any more
Now's the time, let's hide away
Scared hours, safe from yesterday
Boo hoo willows weep around you still
Mirror reflections of dew
But waterfall pages of an open book
Could shower new horizons soon
Call the tune
Will you swoon, as I croon....your serenade?
A Song for Europe
Here as I sit
At this empty cafe
Thinking of you
I remember
All those moments
Lost in wonder
That we'll never find again
Though the world
Is my oyster
It's only a shell
Full of memories
And here by the Seine
Notre Dame casts a long, lonely shadow
Now, only sorrow
No tomorrow
There's no today for us
Nothing is there for us to share, but yesterday
These cities may change
But there always remains my obsession
Through silken waters my gondola glides
And the bridge, it sighs
I remember
All those moments
Lost in wonder
That we'll never
Find again
There's no more time for us
Nothing is there for us to share, but yesterdays
Ecce momenta (all the moments)
Illa mirabilia (lost in wonder, etc)
Quae captabit in aeternum memor
Modo dolores sunt in dies
Non est reliquum
Vero tantum
Comminicamus perdita
Tous ces moments (all those moments)
Perdus dans l`enchantement (lost in wonder)
Qui ne reviendront jamais (that will never come back)
Pas d'aujourd'hui pour nous (no today for us)
Pour nous il n'y a rien (for us there is nothing)
A partager sauf le pass� (to share but yesterdays)
Tous ces moments (all those moments)
Perdus dans l`enchantement (lost in wonder)
Qui ne reviendront, oh jamais (that will never come back)
Jamais, jamais, jamais (never, never, never)
Mother Of Pearl
Turn the lights down Way down low
Turn up the music Hi as fi can go
All the gang's here Everyone you know
It's a crazy scene Hey there just look over your shoulder oo oo
Get the picture? No no no no....Yes
Walk a tightrope Your life sign line
Such a bright hope Right place, right time
What's your number? Never you mind
Take a powder But hang on a minute what's coming round the corner, ooh.. oo oo
Have you future? No no no no....Yes
Well I've been up all night.. Again?
Party time wasting
Is too much fun
Then I step back thinking
Of life's inner meaning
And my latest fling
It's the same old story
All love and glory
It's a pantomime
If you're looking for love
In a looking glass world
It's pretty hard to find
Oh Mother of Pearl, I wouldn't trade you for another girl
Divine intervention
Always my intention
So I take my time
I've been looking for something
I've always wanted
But was never mine
But now I've seen that something
Just out of reach, glowing
Very Holy Grail
Oh Mother of Pearl, lustrous lady of a scared world
Thus, even Zarathustra
Another time loser
Could believe in you
With every goddess a let down
Every idol a bring down
It gets you down
But the search for perfection
Your own predilection
Goes on and on and on and on
Canadian club love
A place in the country
Everyone's ideal
But you are my favorita
And a place in your heart dear
Makes me feel more real
Oh Mother of Pearl I wouldn't change you for the whole world
You're highbrow, holy
With lots of so
Melancholy shimmering
Serpentine sleekness
Was always my weakness
Like a simple tune
But no dilettante
Filigree fancy
Beats the plastic you
Career girl cover
Exposed and another
Slips right into view
Oh looking for love
In a looking glass world
Is pretty hard for you
Few throw away kisses
The boomerang misses
Spins round and round
Fall on feather bed quilted
Faced with silk
Softly stuffed eider down
Take refuge in pleasure
Just give me your future
We'll forget your past
Oh Mother of Pearl
Submarine lover
In a shrinking world
Oh lonely dreamer
Your choker provokes
A picture of cameo
Oh Mother of Pearl
So, so semiprecious
In your detached world
Oh Mother of Pearl I wouldn't trade you for another girl (repeat)
Sunset
Ah look at the sun, it's all aglow
Slow burning star, sinking low
Heaven knows where you go
Out of sight, out of minds eye, no
Aw such a shame you must leave
All day long you were a friend to me
Still, the moon's company
Until morning when larks will sing
Horizon's appointment you'll keep
For sun swept flamingoes must sleep
Scenes like these from my dreams
Cover cutting room floors all over
Warm heart we spin slowly from view
Why are you sad?
Do you disapprove how we've wasted our time?
Sunset, end of my day, my decline
Post script you trace colours the sky
Red letter light fades, is filed away
Sunburst fingers you raise
One last sigh of farewell, goodbye
Back
