Not everyone in New York would pay to see Andrew Lloyd Webber
May his trousers fall down as he bows to the queen and the crown I don't know what tune that the orchestra played But it went by me sickly and sentimental Can I have another piece of chocolate cake? Tammy Baker's got a lot on her plate Can I buy another cheap Picasso fake? Andy Warhol must be laughing in his grave The band of the night take you to ethereal heights over dinner And you wander the streets never reaching the heights that you seek And the sugar that dripped from the violins' bow Made the children go crazy, put a hole in the tooth of a hag Can I have another piece of chocolate cake? Tammy Baker must be losing her faith, yeah Can I buy another cheap Picasso fake? Andy Warhol must be laughing in his grave And the dogs are on the road, we're all tempting fate Cars shooting by with no number plates And hear comes Mrs. Hairy Legs I saw Elvis Presley walk out of a Seven Eleven And a woman gave birth to a baby and then bowled 257 The excess of fat on your American bones Will cushion the impact as you sink like a stone Can I have another piece of chocolate cake? Tammy Baker, Tammy Baker Can I buy another cheap Picasso fake? Cheap Picasso, cheap Picasso fake Can I have another piece of chocolate cake? Kathy Straker, boy, could she lose some weight Can I buy another slice of real estate? Liberace must be laughing in his grave Can I have another piece of chocolate cake? Can I have another piece of chocolate cake? Can I have another piece of chocolate cake? Can I have another piece of chocolate cake? |

Ice will melt, water will boil
You and I can shake off this mortal coil It's bigger than us You don't have to worry about it Ready or not, here comes the drop You feel lucky when you know where you are Y'know, it's gonna come true Here in your arms, I remember It's only natural That I should want to be there with you It's only natural That you should feel the same way, too It's easy when you don't try going on first impressions Man in a cage has made his confession Now, you've seen me at my worst And it won't be the last time I'm down there I want you to know I feel completely at ease Read me like a book That's fallen down between your knees Please, let me have my way with you It's only natural That I should want to be there with you It's only natural That you should feel the same way, too It's circumstantial It's nothing written in the sky And we don't even have to try But we'll be shaking like mud Buildings of glass Sink into the bay They'll be under the rocks again You don't have to say I know you're afraid It's only natural That I should want to be there with you It's only natural That you should feel the same way, too It's circumstantial It's something I was born to It's only natural Can I help it if I want to? |

I'm really close tonight
And I feel like I'm moving inside her Lying in the dark I think that I'm beginning to know her Let it go I'll be there when you call Whenever I fall at your feet And you let your tears rain down on me Whenever I touch your slow turning pain You're hiding from me now There's something in the way that you're talking The words don't sound right But I hear them all moving inside you Go, I'll be waiting when you call Whenever I fall at your feet And you let your tears rain down on me Whenever I touch your slow turning pain The finger of blame has turned upon itself And I'm more than willing to offer myself Do you want my presence or need my help Who knows where that might lead I fall at your feet And you let your tears rain down on me Whenever I fall |

Watch out big ships are waiting
Salt frozen on your cheek I saw a girl and boy arriving And a steamer put out to sea Tall tree Stand in the distance Remember When you were green Don't wipe The salt from your skin You must keep running the distance Sun sleeps on misty morning Light years from channel three I feel halfway to zero Call me a hero I might just agree Tall tree Stand in the distance Remember When you were green Don't wipe The salt from your skin You must keep running the distance And the roses you grow Have a powerful scent They'll be breaking your heart By the morning I feel halway to zero Call me a hero I might just agree Tall tree Stand in the distance Remember When you were green Don't wipe The salt from your skin Tall tree Tall tree Don't wipe The salt from your skin You must keep running the distance Tall tree |

Walking 'round the room singing
Stormy Weather at 57 Mt. Pleasant St. Now it's the same room but everything's different You can fight the sleep but not the dream Things ain't cookin' in my kitchen Strange affliction wash over me Julius Caesar and the Roman Empire Couldn't conquer the blue sky There's a small boat made of china Going nowhere on the mantlepiece Do I lie like a loungeroom lizard Or do I sing like a bird released Everywhere you go you always take the weather with you |

Dull, dull grey
The colour of our times Cool, cool space That I still hope to find Far beyond the veil The sound of whispers and moans Slow, time bomb The clamour of the street I hear this town It never goes to sleep And I will catch the taxi driver Weeping like a wounded beast Then I wake up in your room To share one piece of your life When tomorrow comes we may not be here at all Without your whispers and moans cos here you come to carry me home Here you come to carry me home Love that sound Time erase Tension wheels Cool heels Wont ya come on open the bid fore too long Then I wake up in your room To share one piece of your life Id give anything to be a fly upon the wall And hear your whispers and moans Id like to hear your whispers and moans Here you come to carry me We are the mirrors Are the mirrors of each other in a lifetime of suspicion Cleansed in a moment of recognition You gave your life for it Worth its weight in gold And growing empires and art collectors And alans sound investments Will one day be forgotten One day be forgotten, yeah. |

Four Seasons In One Day - Crowded House
Four seasons in one day Lying in the depths of your imagination Worlds above and worlds below The sun shines on the black clouds Hanging over the domain Even when you're feeling warm The temperature could drop away Like four seasons in one day Smiling as the shit comes down You can tell a man from what he has to say Everything gets turned around And I will risk my neck again You can take me where you will Up the creek and through the mill Like all the things you can't explain Four seasons in one day Blood dries up Like rain, like rain Fills my cup Like four seasons in one day It doesn't pay to make predictions Sleeping on an unmade bed Finding out wherever there is comfort There is pain Only one step away Like four seasons in one day Blood dries up Like rain, like rain Fills my cup Like four seasons in one day |

What'll I tell him
When he comes to me for absolution? Wouldn't you know it? Hope I don't make a bad decision 'Cause I'd like to believe That there is a God Why sinful angels suffer for love I'd like to believe in the terrible truth In the beautiful life I could know you But in this town I can't get arrested If you know me Why don't you tell me what I'm thinking? CHORUS Hey, don't look now But there goes God In his sexy pants and his sausage dog And he can't stand Beelzebub 'Cause he looks so good in black, in black CHORUS (There goes God) bring it on home, bring it on home (There goes God) (There goes God) (There goes God) make yourself strong (There goes God) (There is a God) It's knows it for sure (There goes God) check it hard enough to stand (There goes God) hey, I'd like to shake his hand (There goes God) whoo, make yourself whole (There goes God) yeah |

Fork lightning in your hall
Break the skin when you break the fall I'll be the one to fix it up Love children of the new age Just a hippy with a weekly wage There's no rebellion just a chance to be lazy CHORUS When fame is in your blood You follow the science of love Wave the magic wand And hang on The rest of us are living in a daze Keep thinkin' 'bout the choice to be made Here come the handmaidens of end time Lost treasure from a primitive race All the lives written on your face Can't fill the canyons of your mind Chorus Now you've changed and jumbled the pieces You've changed but you were better off before You talked to a roomful of strangers Here come the handmaidens of end time Chorus And all of your spells will break And all of your stars will fall So look out for number one Fame is in your blood |

All I ask is to live each moment
Free from the last Take the road forgotten Don't leave me here Oh please let me stay Far from familiar things All I ask is to live each moment All I ask is to live each moment Free from the last Strange roads going nowhere in particular All I ask is to live each moment All I ask is to live each moment Free from the last Free from the last All I ask |

Make your decision now
Rely on no help from above Living is luxury I want everything you throw out I'll do anything you want to Please let me go with you I'll wear the smile on your face Big black and beautiful I want it, everything you throw out There must be something you can do without (chorus) Cuz I am as sure as I am I couldn't care less For what might go wrong I'm as happy as sin In a fear-shaken world I pity the rhino Down there it's becoming extinct Killed for a love potion Sad thing lookin' like a dead flower I want it everything that you throw out (chorus) Don't want to be there Don't want to be spared I'll wear the smile on your face I am as sure as I am I couldn't care less For what might go wrong I'm as happy as sin In a fear-shaken world I couldn't care less |

I bring you plates from Rome
You say they look fantastic I say we're having fun Nothing like that Italian Plastic I bring you rocks and flowers You say they look pathetic You pick me up at night I don't feel pathetic Chorus: When you wake up with me I'll be your glass of water (uh huh) When you stick up for me They you're my Bella Bambina (uh huh) I say we're on a trip Looks like we're on vacation I say we're having fun In our little constellation Chorus Then I'll be your Balle Bambino, your man from the moon I'll be your little boy running with that egg on his spoon I'll be your soul survivor, you worst wicked friend I'll be your piggy in the middle, stick with you till the end (Oh) Chorus |

Pretty soon you'll be able to remember her
Lying in the garden singing Right where she'll always be The door is always open This is the place that I loved her And these are the friends that she had Long may the mountain ring To the sound of her laughter And she goes on and on In her soft wind I will whisper In her warm sun I will glisten 'Till we see her once again In a world without end We owe it all to Frank Sinatra The song was playing a she walked into the room After the long weekend They were a lifetime together Appearing in the eyes of children In the clear blue mountain view The colouring in the sky And painting ladders to heaven And she goes on In her soft wind I will whisper In her warm sun I will glisten 'Till we see her once again In a world without end In her soft wind I will whisper In her warm sun I will glisten And I always will remember In a world without end She goes on She goes on She goes on |

Escape is on your mind again
Escape to a far away land At times it seems there is no end To long, hard nights of drinking How will you go? How will you go? Drive through the wind and the rain Cover it up Cover it up I'll find you a shelter to sleep in I fell over on the couch again But you know not all sleep is wasted The dreams are alcohol inspired I can't find a better way to face it How will you go? How will you go? Drive through the wind and the rain Cover it up Cover it up I'll find you a shelter to sleep in And you know I'll be fine Just don't ask me how it's going Gimme time, gimme time 'Cause I want you to see 'Round the world, 'round the world Is a tangled up necklace of pearls How will you go? How will you go? Drive through the wind and the rain Cover it up Cover it up I'll find you a shelter to sleep in How will you go? How will you go? Drive through the wind and the rain Cover it up Cover it up I'll find you a shelter to sleep in |
