"Lullaby"

"Lullaby"


Hush now little one,
The day has lost its glow
The night falls softly round
The sandman's sleepy saws.
Sleep.

The stars will shine tonight
High up in the sky.
The breeze will sing a song
As he goes hurrying by.
Sleep.

For you the sun will rise,

For you the dawn will break.
Hush now, all is still,
Hush now till you wake.
Sleep.

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh,
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh,
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
Sleep.
So sleep.

"Lust"

"Lust"


Anna I

Then we met a wealthy man in boston
And he paid her a lot because he loved her,
But I had to keep a watch on Anna
Who was too loving, but she loved another,
And she paid him a lot because she loved him.

So I said: "cheat the man who protects you
And you've lost half your value then:
He may pay once although he suspects you,
But he won't pay time and time again.
Girls can have their fun with money
When they've no provider they must face;
But for girls like us, it's not funny
If we ever even once forget our place."

"don't try to sit between two stools,"
I told her, then I went to see her young friend,
And said: "if you're kind, you won't hold her,
For this love will be your sweetheart's bitter end."
Girls can have their fun with money
When their money is their own to give,
But for girls like us, it's not funny
If we even once forget the way we live.

So I sent him a lone one-way ticket
Which had broke his heart to use, naturally.

And when Anna found out my trick,
He'd look like broken bones for me.

Family

Oh lord, look down upon our daughter,
Show her the way
That leads the good to thy reward,
Incline her heart to observe all thy commandments
That her works on earth may prosper.

Anna I

Now she show off her little round white bottom
Worth twice a little texas motel,
And for nothing the poolroom can stare at Anna
As though she had nothing to sell.
That's why most girls don't get rich
For they go bad when they forget their place:
You're not free to buy what you itch for
When you've got a good provider you must face.

Family

Who fights the good fight and all self subdues
Wins the palm, gains the crowns.

Anna I

It wasn't easy putting that in order
Saying good-bye to young fernando
Then back to edward to apologize,
Then the endless nights I heard my sister
Sobbing bitterly and repeating:

Anna II

It's right like this, Anna, but so hard!

"Mack The Knife"

"Mack The Knife"


Oh, the poor shark,
Yes, the sweet shark,
It has big teeth
Buried deep.

Then there's macheath
With his big knife,
But it's hidden
In his slip.

And this same shark,
This poor sweet shark,
It sheds red blood
When it bleeds.

Mackie big knife
Wears a white glove,
Pure in word and
Pure in deed.

Sunday morning
Lovely blue sky,
There's a corpse stretched
On the strand.

Who's the man cruisin'
The corner?
Well, it's mackie,
Knife in hand.

Jenny towler
Poor wee Jenny,

There they found her
Knife in breast.

Mackie's wandering
On the west pier
Hoping only
For the best.

Mind, that fire burnt
All through soho.
Seven kids dead
One old flower.

Hey there, mackie,
How is she cuttin'?
Have another,
Hold your hour.

And those sweet babes
Under sixteen
Story goes that
Black and blue

For the price of
One good screwing
Mackie, mackie,
How could you?

For the price of
One good screwing
Mackie, mackie,
How could you?

"Many A Mile To Freedom"

"Many A Mile To Freedom"


Many a mile to freedom
Many a smile to tell
Ask my bluebird to sing you
From the heart of a wishing well

Call all my reindeer to graze here
Call all my grain to grow
Then together we flow like the river
Then together we melt like the snow

Many a thought unanswered
Many a tale to tell
Ask my bluebird to sing you
From the heart of a wishing well

If you should ask me the reason
The reason for life that we know
Then together we flow like the river
And together we melt like the snow

If you should ask me then give me
The reason for life that we know
Then together we flow like the river
Then together we melt like the snow

Few more miles to go, miles to freedom
A few more miles to go, miles to freedom
A few more miles to go, few miles to freedom
Few more miles to go, miles to freedom

"Marathon Kiss"

"Marathon Kiss"


I cherished the night of your marathon kiss,
Chemicals flying, oh I love this.
What's it all for if you can't feel the ecstasy?
What's it all for if you can't touch the power,
The will to live in the hour?

Don't steal what I have got, baby,
'cause it's hardly enough for myself.
Don't steal what I've got, baby,
'cause the balance is thin like a shell.

I cherished the night of your marathon kiss,
Chemicals flying, oh I love this.
What's it all for if you can't feel the moment?
What's it all for if you can't feel the moment,
The moment of kiss.

Fearless when I'm with you,
Fearless when I'm with you.
Fearless when I'm with you,
Fearless through and through.

What am I gonna wear? I don't care.

Nobody sees the inside.
Oh, the radio's gonna take us out
Take us out on a ride.
I put on perfume and I walk in the room
The world stands still with you in the room.
I cross the floor and I'm high and I'm rich
When I'm under your lips and your fingertips.

I cherished the night of your marathon kiss,
Chemicals flying into the mist.
What's it all for if you can't feel the moment?
What's it all for if you can't feel the power?
What's it all for if you can't, can't live right here
In the hour, in the hour, in the hour?

Fearless when I'm with you,
Fearless when I'm with you.
Fearless when I'm with you,
Fearless through and through.

"Mary Ann (Version 1)"


Fare thee well, my own true love
Fare thee well a while,
For the ship is a-waiting and the wind blows free
And I am bound away for the sea,
Mary ann.

If I had a flask of gin,
Whiskey there for two
And a great big bowl for to mix them in
I'd mix a drink for you my dear
Mary ann.

The lobster boiling in the pot,

The bluefish on the hook;
The pain they bear is nothing like
The ache I bear for you my dear
Mary ann.

Fare thee well, my own true love
Fare thee well a while,
For the ship is a-waiting and the wind blows free
And I am bound away for the sea,
Mary ann.

Fare thee well, my own true love
Fare thee well a while,
For though I go I'll surely come again
Though it be ten thousand miles, my dear
Mary Ann.

Fare thee well, my own true love
Fare thee well, my dear,
For the ship is a-waiting and the wind blows free
And I am bound away for the sea,
Mary Ann.

"Mon Ami, My Friend"

"Mon Ami, My Friend"


My madeleine of Paris
She'll laugh and dance and sing
To cheer the weary soldier
At his homecoming.

A little room together,
An hour of love to spend.
"comme ca, your arms around me,"
Oh, mon ami, my friend.

But she, how she remembers
That other love and joy.
The first, the best,
The dearest tired soldier boy.

A narrow room alone now,
Rain on the roof above
And he will sleep forever,

Oh, mon ami, my love.

My madeleine of Paris
She does not sit and grieve,
But sings away her sorrows
To cheer the soldiers' leave.

For life is short and funny
And love must have an end.
An hour may be forever
Oh, mon ami, my friend.

For life is short and funny
And love must have an end.
An hour may be forever
Oh, mon ami, my friend.

Thank you!

So good to me.
Monday morning
It was all I hoped it would be.

Oh monday morning

That monday evening
You would still be here with me.

Can't trust the day.

Sometimes it just turns out that way.

On monday morning
You gave me no warning
Of what was to be.
On monday, monday
How could you leave
And not take me?

Every other day

Of the week is fine, yeah.

But whenever monday comes
But whenever monday comes
You can find me crying

All of the time.

Don't go away.
Oh, monday, monday...

"Morning Comes"

"Morning Comes"


When will the morning come?
I wait in darkness so long.
Will the sun ever rise again?

Hours flowing over me
I wait in vain for some change.
Will light ever pierce this pain?

Riding on a humming bird's wing,
Caravans fleeing from the east.
May the pilgrim join in the feast.

How will the morning be?
I watched the dawn in my dreams
And imagined the day for years.
Shall I feel warmth again
And feel it true when they say
That the day never ends in tears?

Riding on a humming bird's wing,
Caravans fleeing from the east.
May the pilgrim join in the feast.

Tell me please,

How will it come
This release,
A crack in the door.

Shall I feel warm again
And feel it true when they say
That the day never ends in tears?

Beyond and back of the wind
Little birds fly into the sea.
Morning light shine on me.

Oh, tell me please, how will she come
Surrounding me, the opening door?

Riding on a humming bird's wing,
Caravans fleeing from the east.
May the pilgrim join in the feast

Beyond and back of the wind
Little birds fly into the sea.
Morning light shine on me.

Riding on a humming bird's wing,
Caravans fleeing from the east...
