She's in my veins Gold in my veins She is my pain And my joy Time and again Waxing or waning I am insane For La Luna Madame de la Luna When she is sleepy She's creepy, mysterious and wicked When she is full She is full of promise and joy Beaming her smile All the while across Heaven's horizons Weaving her dreams Into hearts of lonely boys Chorus But when I'm under the moon with you I'm in Heaven When I'm under the moon with you I'm in Heaven She'll bring out the killer Bring out the lover She loves a tyrant, a pirate, a dreamer a crook and a liar A joker, a trickster, romancer, a dancer and fool Cold as the frost but in her heart is a fire Hanging around the dark throat of the night like a jewel Repeat chorus Moon, moon, delirious moon Alone in the blue like a silver baloon Moon, moon, delirious moon Dancing a waltz to a lunatic's tune Madame de la Luna Bewitching is she I cannot live without her She's scattering stars Dancing with Mars Cheek to cheek with La Luna Cheek to cheek with La Luna Madame de la Luna She sings as she brings in the harvest She pulls out her tongue At the cruel Ethiopian sun When she's hiding The dark can bring a terrible vengeance A pounce in the shadows A moment alone with a gun Adrift on a sea of indigo silk Passionate like an Arabian torch Enticing two lovers to jump off a bridge Changing the man into the wolf Sometimes she's a terrible flirt Causing mischief and mayhem wherever she can Sometimes she's a woman that hurts Sometimes she is a man Encouraging drunks to sing coarse serenades Lighting the way for the young renegades Repeat chorus She says better times are gonna come soon Better times are gonna come soon Trust in the moon Trust in the moon La Luna |

And so they say they're leaving While you sleep away the day You go out every evening Collecting waifs and strays They follow their illusions They don't know what to do They need a clear direction That's why they turn to you You're pleading Please don't leave me Don't go from me so soon I need to be found For I'm a stray too Chorus Don't go Just wait until tomorrow Just wait until tomorrow Just wait until tomorrow On the streets of Paris On the streets of Rome They find a home In shadows or in coffee bars Down the winding alleys Through the brightly lit arcades No matter where they are In and out of life they wander Little waifs and strays They stay until you fall in love That's when they slip away In the dark you'll see Those sad brown eyes come shining through Your heart will melt You felt the way theu looked at you Repeat chorus You find you need someone to love your days away Just when your heart is crying out Please stay Don't go away Just wait until tomorrow (x4) Yes it's true I'm a stray too |

Tonight's the night it said in my stars That love would be round the next bend I felt for a while that my run of good luck Would never come to an end This world was not made for me, no no no no no no no There was you, there was I, and the sea and the sky There was really no need to pretend, I saw Chorus Eyes of a girl, lips of a girl Could it be you or a call from my soul Could it be somewhere that I dare not dream Could it be you, be you Skull faced moon and dull faced you Grinning with mischief tonight The shimmer of stars The whisper of wind This minute, tonight is the night, I saw Repeat chorus Unlock the secret door to my vault Open the gate that leads to my heart Touch of a tempter, touch of a siren Could it be you, be you The desperate hours the scent of the flowers You put in my room Makes me think of you Repeat verse 2 more times In my dream I see Repeat chorus Unlock the secret door to my vault Open the gate that leads to my heart Touch of a tempter, touch of a siren Could it be you, be you Repeat chorus |

Sad little boy of the street
Hands of a thief With the mind of a dreamer Dodging the puddles with feet Of a torero in an Arena Sings an old Andalucian song Dancing along Using his dirty red coat as a cape Rain thundering down Sounds like the applause from Hundreds of people He feels free as the wind Free as the swifts Around the cathedral Kneels to acknowledge his fame Forgets all his pain Little Toreador in the Rain Bathed in a Rainbow of Pink Purple and Blue outside La Molina The pavement reflecting the neon Lights this Torero in his arena He looks down at his clothes Imagining those Worn of sequin, Gold and Brocade He kneels and kisses the beast Fearing the least Knowing death will not find him But maybe one day he will face The Horns of the Devil His childhood behind him Brave young man from the streets No more a thief No longer a dreamer Stands in front of the Beast A golden Torero in an Arena It starts to thunder and rain Remembering that day He danced like a fool on the wing of a dream Sand turning to mud Soon where his blood will splatter and mingle Free, Free as an Angel Up with the swifts Around the cathedral Never to be seen again Dreams all in vain There lies the Toreador in the rain Little Toreador in the rain Little Toreador in the rain |

She draped herself in Widow Weeds Veil of black and buttoned sleeves Hid her face from the world A shadow where once had been a girl Her husband of past twenty years Had passed away leaving her in tears Heart full of the future's fears She kneels beside his grave Chorus Where should be colour every day Just widow weeds, her friends all say "Please stop your tears and throw away Those widow weeds of black and grey" Then she did wail a chilling sound Beat her fists and hit the ground She moaned his name, she pulled her hair She chanted verse and muttered prayer How could a man so just, so good Leave her a widow like he could Repeat chorus And deep within chador of lace The deep etched sorrow on her face This madonna in her cowl of grief Subservient in her belief Then came the reading of the will Grief had hold within her still But unable to believe her ears She stopped her sobbing halted tears Not a penny, not a pound No provision to be found Not a thought of recognition The will was read with cold precision Anger jumped up in her breast Well maybe this was for the best Even as the will was blessed She tore away her veil Tears of rage to tears of joy No more grief from Death's envoy No more weeping, gnashing teeth No more prostrate with grief She thought he loved her So sure he loved her She thought he loved her So sure he loved her But all his treasure all his wealth Just signify love for himself Just signify love for himself The chador fell unto the earth Witness a woman's rebirth Witness a woman's rebirth She exorcised Grief's ugly demon With a new found sense of freedom Where should be colour every day Just widow weeds, now she can say She stopped her tears and threw away Those widow weeds of black and grey |

A lover spurned
A lesson learned On love you've got Your fingers burnt Shed bitter tears Now love has turned The sweet revenge Of a lover spurned A passing phase A week of love But all at once You had enough It pales so soon Waned with the moon No deep concern For a lover spurned She'll destroy you with her little games See you swallow all the blame Make you pay in many ways For the pleasure of watching you squirm She'll tell her friends to treat you rough That you just weren't good enough Make the going really tough For the pleasure of watching you burn in hell And every day More guilt to pay A lesson learned From a lover spurned It was all so cosy for you You had a wife, two children And a beautiful house And me, well you wanted me When it suited your needs And now, now I have nothing Just a handful of faded photographs Nothing but a cold empty heart But I'm not easily forgotten I'll appear when you least expect To make you pay You asked for it that way She'll come to get you with a knife Write poison letters to your wife Totally destroy your life For the pleasure of watching you squirm She'll make a fool of you at work Drag your name through the dirt Make sure that it really hurts For the pleasure of watching you burn in hell Repeat first verse The sweet revenge Of a lover spurned |

On Monday I took a flower Dried it in my hand Covered it in poison And I threw it on the land On wasted ground it tried to root But chiked upon the sand Chorus And there's room in my diary for you, my friend And there's room in my diary for you On Tuesday I took a bird Such pain to hear it sing I blackened it with petrol And oiled its little wings I tainted the breeze As I threw it to the wind Repeat chorus On Wednesday I took a man He begged please help me die For he lay in pain and suffering It made his loved ones cry I can be terrible and gentle In the blinking of an eye Repeat chorus On Thursday I took a woman Heavy with a child My old friend Rape had paid a visit Had stayed a little while In a back street I touched her With a wire and a smile Repeat chorus On Friday I took a city Cursed it with a plague Powdered crystals, smoking pipes To crush and to enslave And a row of dirty needles Lines the route onto the grave Repeat chorus On Saturday I took a country Praying for the rain Parched throats and swollen lips Without a harvest grain And I wiped out generations And I'll do it all again Repeat chorus On Sunday I took the world A bomb I did employ Seven days to create life And one day to destroy Every woman every man Every girl and boy Repeat chorus Now as I close my diary And I've made my final date I blow away the ashes And I stoke the smoking grate I've no distinction between pain and joy No line twixt love and hate There's no room in my diary for you, my friend There's no room in my diary for you |

I remember the sea I remember How I thought she would sing forever Though her voice it became a whisper But the sea still sings in her heart To the furthest shores of Alaska From the bow of a floundering tanker Her shores in eternal winter But the sea still sings in her heart She waits for the moment so still and alone On her shoreline a necklace of feather and bone No laughter of children where nothing will grow, but Chorus The sea still sings The sea still sings The sea still sings In her heart I remember the sea I remember How she rose in a terrible anger On a stormy night in September How the sea still sings in her heart Taking back all her stolen treasure Giving back all our waste with pleasure Hand in hand with the furious weather How the sea still sings in her heart No longer distraught and no longer alone She took all our shorelines and made them her own Drowned all the people asleep in their homes Repeat chorus The mermaids were singing a warning The mermen were teasing and taunting The sirens a song that was haunting Tearing each ship from its mooring And the sea shed her black coat of mourning I remember the sea I remember The stillness and calm of the water And a song that went on forever Repeat chorus |
