"Halfway 'Round The World"

"Halfway 'Round The World"



Thank you for informing me
That I've been banned from Canada
It comes as no surprise to me
Since last week it was Africa
Since you've been ambassador
There's trouble at the border
La la la la la la la Halfway 'round the world

It's amusing still it makes me wince
Your face is like a scimitar
When accidentally eye to eye
You shoot a look of vinegar
What could I have done to you
To make you act the way you do
La la la la la la la Halfway 'round the world

For whatever reason
You would keep me
Halfway 'round the world
I believe it's like some kind of compliment
I must be quite a girl
Quite a girl
La la la la la la la Halfway 'round the world

Once upon a time you swore you'd love me
'Til the end of the world
Now, nowhere is far enough away for you
I must be quite a girl
Quite a girl...
La la la la la la la Halfway 'round the world

"Happy Birthday"
(feat. Ben and Sally Taylor)

"Happy Birthday"
(feat. Ben and Sally Taylor)



It's all of our birthdays this summer
One number older, another year younger
I'll go to your party, you'll come to mine
We've given up cigarettes, we've given up wine
We've given up caffeine and sworn off desserts
I don't try to seduce you, we don't even flirt
We're too good to be happy, too straight to be sad
So just blow out the candles, Happy Birthday

Stay out of the ocean, stay out of the sun
Stay in perfect shape and be number one
We've got brilliant excuses for having no fun
So blow out the candles, Happy Birthday

Make love in the microwave
Think of all the time you'll save
And don't forget to make it look
As though you're working very very hard

But I'll be your lover if you will be mine
We'll go back to the garden and have a good time
And if I'm offered an apple, I'll politely decline
And just blow out the candles
Happy Birthday

"Happy Christmas (War Is Over)"

"Happy Christmas (War Is Over)"



So this is Christmas
And what have you done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
And so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear ones
The old and the young

A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

And so this is Christmas
For weak and for strong
For rich and the poor ones
The world is so wrong
And so Happy Christmas
For black and for white
For yellow and red ones
Let's stop all the fight

War is over
If you want it
War is over
Now
War is over
If you want it
War is over
Now

A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

And so this is Christmas
And what have we done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
And so Happy Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young

War is over
If you want it
War is over
Now
War is over
If you want it
War is over
Now

A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

War is over if you want it
War is over now

"Haunting"
(feat. Lucy Simon and Joanna Simon)

"Haunting"
(feat. Lucy Simon and Joanna Simon)



There's always someone haunting someone - haunting someone
Like an echo in the wind leaves, unreconciled -
Waiting to be picked up and bounced down again on
Listeners ears

There's always someone haunting someone - haunting someone
And you know who I am
Though I never leave my name or number
I'm locked inside of you so it doesn't matter

There's always someone haunting someone - haunting someone
And you know who I am
Though I never leave my name or number
I'm locked inside of you so it doesn't matter

There's always someone haunting someone - haunting someone
And I can't sleep easy
'Cause I'm afraid of dreaming
And then the memory of the dream
There's always someone haunting someone
Haunting someone
Haunting someone

"Have You Seen Me Lately?"

"Have You Seen Me Lately?"



have you seen me lately?
What was it you saw
Are you gonna catch me
With my hand in the jar, naked singing in the choir?

have you seen me lately?
Did I look O.K.
Are you gonna shame me and take my toys away?

Don't wake me unless you love me
It takes too long to fall back to sleep
Don't wake me unless you're a friend of mine
I'd rather just fall back on my dreams

Have you seen me lately?
Did I miss a beat
Are you gonna make me get back on my feet?

Don't wake me unless you love me
It takes too long to fall back to sleep
Don't wake me unless you're a friend of mine
I'd rather just fall back on my dreams

Have you seen me lately?
Was I crazy?
Don't wake me...Don't wake me...Don't wake me...

"Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas"

"Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas"



Have yourself a merry little Christmas.
Let your heart be light,
From now on our troubles
Will be out of sight.
Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Make the Yule-tide gay,
From now on our troubles
Will be miles away.
Here we are as in olden days,
Happy golden days of yore,
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more.
Through the years
We all will be together
If the Fates allow,
Hang a shining star
On the highest bough,
And have yourself
A merry little Christmas now

"Haven't Got Time For The Pain"

"Haven't Got Time For The Pain"



All those crazy nights when I cried myself to sleep
Now melodrama never makes me weep anymore
'Cause I haven't got time for the pain
I haven't got room for the pain
I haven't the need for the pain
Not since I've known you

You showed me how, how to leave myself behind
How to turn down the noise in my mind
Now I haven't got time for the pain
I haven't got room for the pain
I haven't the need for the pain
Not since I've known you

Suffering was the only thing that made me feel I was alive
Though that's just how much it cost to survive in this world
'Til you showed me how, how to fill my heart with love
How to open up and drink in all that white love
Pouring down from the heaven
I haven't got time for the pain
I haven't got room for the pain
I haven't the need for the pain
Not since I've known you

"He Likes To Roll"

"He Likes To Roll"


Why do I try to win the love
That I've already wooed and won

[Chorus:]
'Cause he likes to roll he likes to roll
He likes to roll he likes to roll
He takes the flower from his button hole
When he likes to roll, he likes to roll
I tend to lose my self control
When he likes to roll, he likes to roll

Here in this little sunny bay
Once a day he comes and goes

[Chorus]
He likes to roll...

The moon is down but the odds are high
That seeming me, he won't pass me by

[Chorus]
He likes to roll...

"He Was Too Good To Me"

"He Was Too Good To Me"



There goes my young intended
The thing has ended
Regrets are vain
I'll never find another half so sweet
And we'll never meet again
I got impatient
Told him goodbye
Sad eyes out in the rain

He was too good to me
How can I get along now
So close he stood to me
Everything seems all wrong now
He would have brought me the sun
Making me smile, that was his fun

When I was mean to him
He'd never say go away now
I was a Queen to him
Who's gonna make me gay now
It's only natural that I'm blue
He was too good to be true

"Heaven"

"Heaven"



I can almost touch the stars
Filling up the night
On their way around the world
They stop their flight

I can see the brightest star
Dazzling in the west
Three wise men follow
With no time for rest

And heaven can't be far
From where we lie
Heaven can't be far
From where we lie

Follow, follow
Pilgrims follow
To see the carpenters' child
Born the king of angels
He is meek and mild
Son of Joseph
Son of Mary
Son of love
He is born
Son of all believers
On this Christmas morn

And heaven can't be far
From where we lie
Heaven can't be far
From where we lie
