I won't spend my life, waiting for an angel to descend,
Searching for a rainbow with an end, Now that I've found you I'll call off the search. And I won't spend my life, gazing at the stars up in the sky Wondering if love will pass me by Now that I've found you I'll call off the search Out on my own I would never have known This world that I see today And I've got a feeling It won't fade away And I won't end my days, wishing that love would come along, Cause you are in my life where you belong Now that I've found you I'll call off the search Now that I've found you I'll call off the search Now that I've found you I'll call off the search |

Every morning about half past eight
My Mummer wakes me says Don't be late Get to the office, trying to concentrate My life is just a slow train crawling up a hill So I stop one day to figure it out I'll quit my job without a shadow of a doubt To sing the blues that I know about My life is just a slow train crawling up a hill Minute after minute Second after second Hour after hour goes by Working for a rich girl Staying just a poor girl Never stop to wonder why So here I am in London town A better scene I'm gonna be around The kind of music that won't bring me down My life is just a slow train crawling up a hill Every morning (a) bout half past eight My Mummer wakes me says Don't be late Get to the office, tryin' to concentrate My life is just a slow train crawling up a hill So I stop one day to figure it out I'll quit my job without a shadow of a doubt To sing the blues that I know about My life is just a slow train crawling up a hill Minute after minute Second after second Hour after hour goes by Working for a rich girl Staying just a poor girl Never stop to wonder why So here I am in London town A better scene I'm gonna be around The kind of music that won't bring me down Life is just a slow train So here I am in London town A better scene I'm gonna be around The kind of music that won't bring me down My life is just a slow train crawling up a hill |

How can I think I'm standing strong
Yet feel the air beneath my feet? How can happiness feel so wrong? How can misery feel so sweet? How can you let me watch you sleep Then break my dreams the way you do? How can I have got in so deep? Why did I fall in love with you? This is the closest thing to crazy I have ever been Feeling twenty-two, acting seventeen This is the nearest thing to crazy I have ever known I was never crazy on my own and now I know that there's a link between the two Being close to craziness and being close to you How can you make me fall apart Then break my fall with loving lies? It's so easy to break a heart It's so easy to close your eyes How can you treat me like a child Yet like a child I yearn for you? How can anyone feel so wild? How can anyone feel so blue? This is the closest thing to crazy I have ever been Feeling twenty-two, acting seventeen This is the nearest thing to crazy I have ever known I was never crazy on my own and now I know that there's a link between the two Being close to craziness and being close to you And being close to you And being close to you |

Some people say
That oysters make you come on strong But I don't buy it I don't believe my diet turns me on Won't take no pills That's the last thing that I need to do I can't deny it My aphrodisiac is you Alright, I could sniff some powdered rhino horn And go to bed in rubber gloves But I don't need no stimulation Potions, balms or embrocation I'm in love In other words: Don't smoke no grass Or opium from old Hong Kong That hubble-bubble Just makes me see you double All night long Don't waste my time With Spanish fly and roots to chew They cause me trouble Because my aphrodisiac is you Alright, I could sniff some powdered rhino horn And go to bed in rubber gloves But I don't need no stimulation Potions, balms or embrocation I'm in love In other words: Some people like To read the khama sutra first But I don't need it I think if I should read it I'd be worse Don't ask me why Because baby, I ain't got a clue I just can see that My aphrodisiac is you |

The tables are empty - the dance floor's deserted
You play the same love song - it's the tenth time you've heard it That's the beginning - just one of the clues You've had your first lesson - in learnin' the blues The cigarettes you light - one after the other Won't help you forget him - when you're losing your lover You're only burning - a torch you can't lose But you're on the right track - for learnin' the blues When you're out in a crowd, the blues will taunt you constantly When you're out in a crowd, the blues will haunt your memory The nights when you don't sleep - the whole night you're crying But you can not forget him - soon you even stop trying You'll walk the floor - and wear out your shoes When you feel your heart break - you're learnin' the blues |

Gonna blame it on the moon
Didn't want to fall in love again so soon I was fine, feeling strong Didn't want to fall in love with anyone Now that it's gone too far to call for a halt I'll blame it on the moon 'Cause it's not my fault I didn't think I'd this would happen so soon So I'll blame it on the moon I was happy to be free Didn't think I'd give myself so easily Guilty feelings in the night As I wonder is it wrong to feel so right Now that it's gone too far to call for a halt I'll blame it on the moon 'Cause it's not my fault I didn't think that this would happen so soon So I'll blame it on the moon Gonna blame it on the moon Didn't want to fall in love again so soon I was fine, feeling strong Didn't want to fall in love with anyone Now that it's gone too far to call for a halt I'll blame it on the moon 'Cause it's not my fault I didn't think that this would happen so soon So I'll blame it on the moon |

I've got a ticket,
To the fast city, Where the bells don't really ring, Getting off the plane the cold air, Rushes like bullets through my brain, And I'm divided between penguins and cats, But it's not about what animal you've got, It's about being able to fly, It's about dying nine times, Aah x 2 Walked on Broadway, Going up to falls, With the old man I used to know, The paintings on the walls of release, Are colourful but they are no Matisse, And I'm divided between penguins and cats, But it's not about what animal you've got, It's about being able to fly, It's about dying nine times, Aah x 2 It's about being able to fly, It's about dying nine times, Aah x 2 |

Broken windows and empty hallways
A pale dead moon in the sky streaked with gray Human kindness is overflowing And I think it's going to rain today Scarecrows dressed in the latest styles With frozen smiles to chase love away Human kindness is overflowing And I think it's going to rain today Lonely, lonely Tin can at my feet Think I'll kick it down the street That's the way to treat a friend Bright before me the signs implore me To help the needy and show them the way Human kindness is overflowing And I think it's going to rain today |

Now hush now honey, hears the word
My babies gonna buy me a mockingbird And if that mockingbird don't sing Babies gonna buy me a diamond ring And if that diamond ring won't shine We'll still have a real good time So I'm sitting right here To this man that I have found I'm gonna sing the sweetest sound And if that sweetest sound won't rock I'm gonna but him a music box And if that music box don't play Hes gonna staywith me anyway So I'm making it clear When that man and I are wed I'm gonna keep him warm in bed And when my mans no longer hot I'm gonna bring him a vodka shot And when that spirits made him strong I'm gonna stay with him all night long I'll be holding on tightly He's gonna buy me a mockingbird |

You are the tiger burning bright
Deep in the forest of my night You are the one who keeps me strong in this world You sleep by the silent cooling streams Down in the darkness of my dreams All of my life I never knew You were the dream I'd see come true You are the tiger burning bright I was the one who looked so hard I could not see Now I could never live without the love you give to me I lived like a wild and lonely soul Lost in a dream beyond control You were the one who brought me home down to earth For you are the tiger burning bright Deep in the forest of my night All of my life I never knew You were the dream I'd see come true You are the tiger burning bright |

Faraway voice
We can hear you whoo voice What's it like to be heard But from you not a word Are you over those hills Do you still hum the old melodies Do you wish people listened Over here with me Faraway voice What I would give What I would give to hear that voice What's it like to breath My ears deceive me voice And I will walk with you on a summer's day And I will talk to you Though you're faraway And we'll sing through the years Are you over those hills Do you still hum the old melodies Do you wish people listened Over here with me |

I lost myself on a cool damp night
Gave myself in that misty light Was hypnotized by a strange delight Under a lilac tree I made wine from the lilac tree Lost my heart in its recipe It made me see what I want to see And be what I want to be But I think more than I ought to think I do things I never should do I drink much more than I ought to drink Because it brings me back you... Lilac wine is sweet and heady Like my love Lilac wine, I feel unsteady Like my love Listen to me... I cannot see clearly Isn't that he coming to me nearly here? Lilac wine is sweet and heady Where's my love? Lilac wine, I feel unsteady Where's my love? Listen to me, why is everything so hazy? Isn't that he, or am I going crazy, dear? Lilac Wine, I feel unready For my love... feel unready For my love |
