When the wind blows in it's cargo and the eyes begin to sting And you can't see these Elysian Fields for the bodies on the ground So you grope the dead for souvenirs that are lying all around Lay your head down on my pillow and show me heaven Lay your head down on my pillow and show me heaven I killed a little boy today; I put a bayonet in his breast They said I was a hero and pinned a medal on my chest But I will not kill another for now I know it to be wrong That young man had a mother and for her I must be strong So lift your skirt up a little higher and show me heaven Lift your skirt up a little higher and show me heaven In the morning they'll be waiting and before the day is done I will make my peace with Jesus, I will walk toward the sun And they'll take me to the bloody war, where the ones before me fell And I'll go to meet my old friends, yes and my enemies as well So put your sweet lips against my body and show me heaven Put your sweet lips against my body and show me heaven Show me heaven, show me heaven Show me heaven, show me heaven.
my arms are just as strong as his arms but my arms had to let you go you walked straight into his arms hadn't I the right? hadn't I the right to know?
my heart is really such a big heart with big love and room enough to grow so my heart was summarily ripped apart but I hadn't I the right? hadn't I the right to know?
I want to tell everybody all around the world to stay away from you 'cause you're a wicked girl but no can do I'm still in love with you 'cause in a world gone crazy where nothing rhymes the breaking of a heart is just a small-beer crime even so, I think I had a right to know
one day when all of this is far away I'll say "that's the way it goes" until then let me remember when I held you oh, so tight, I think I had a right to know
I want to tell everybody all around the world to stay away from you 'cause you're a bad bad girl but you know me, too much decency 'cause in a world gone crazy where nothing rhymes and breaking someone's heart is just a small-beer crime even so, I think I had a right to know
when the night is cold and my arms want something to hold, I think of you when the rain falling I hear you calling to me, I think of you I think of you every minute, I lie awake each lonely night I think of you yeah that day you walked away, and out of my sight but now my arms just long to hold you like they used to do before but I'm a broken man now you don't love me no more
when the night is cold and my arms want someone to hold, I think of you when the rain is falling I hear you calling to me, I think of you
Walking on cobbled stones, little bits of skin and bone Jumping on a tram car for a ride I can remember when, I was a just a boy of ten Hanging around the old Quayside. Now all the capstans and the cargo boats And Stevadores are gone To where all the old ships go But memories, just like the sea live on
'Cause that was when coal was King The river was a living thing And I was just a boy but it was mine The coaly Tyne.
This was a big river I want you all to know That I was proud This was a big river But that was long ago That's not now, that's not now
My father was working man He earned our living with his hands He had to cross the river every day He picked up his Union card, out of the Neptune yard Mouths to feed and bills to pay There came a time for him to sail across the sea and far away And finally when the war was won They brought him home and home he stayed
And when his days were done Under a golden sun They took him back to where he longed to be Back to the sea
This was a big river I want you all to know That I was proud This was a big river But that was long ago That's not now, that's not now.
The Neptune was the last to go I heard it on the radio And then they played the latest number one But what do they do all day And what are they supposed to say What does a father tell his son? If you believe that there's a bond between our future and our past Try to hold on to what we have We build them strong, we built to last
'Cause this is a mighty town Build upon solid ground And everything they've tried so hard to kill We will rebuild.
This is a big river I want you all to know I'm so very proud This is a big river But that was long ago That's not now This is a big, big river And in my heart I know it will rise again The river will rise again.
(Eva:) To think that a man as famous as you are Could love a poor little nothing like me
Chorus:
(Eva:) I wanna be a part of B.A. Buenos Aires, Big Apple (Eva's family:) She wants to be a part of B.A. Buenos Aires, Big Apple
(Che:) Just listen to that, they're on to you Magaldi I'd get out while you can
(Eva:) It's happened at last, I'm starting to get started I'm moving out with my man
(Magaldi:) Now Eva don't get carried away
(Eva:) Monotony past, suburbia departed Who could ever be fond of the back of beyond?
(Magaldi:) Don't hear words that I didn't say
(Eva's family:) What's that? You'd desert the girl you love?
(Magaldi:) The girl I love? What are you talking about?
(Eva's family:) She really brightened up your out-of-town engagement She gave you all she had, she wasn't in your contract You must be quite relieved that noone's told the papers, so far
(Eva:) I wanna be a part of B.A. Buenos Aires, Big Apple
Would I have done what I did If I hadn't thought, if I hadn't known We would stay together
(Eva's brother:) Seems to me there's no point in resisting She's made up her mind, you've no choice Why don't you be the man who discovered her You'll never be remembered for your voice
(Magaldi:) The city can be paradise for those who have the cash The class and the connections, what you need to make a splash The likes of you get swept up in the morning with the trash If you were rich or middle class ...
(Eva:) Screw the middle classes! I will never accept them! My father's other family were middle class And we were kept out of sight, hidden from view at his funeral.
(Eva's brother:) Do all your one night stands give you this trouble?
(Magaldi:) Eva beware of the city It's hungry and cold, can't be controlled, it is mad Those who are fools are swallowed up whole And those who are not become what they should not become Changed, in short, they go bad.
(Eva:) Bad is good for me I'm bored, so clean, and so ignored I've only been predictable, respectable Birds fly out of here, so why oh why oh why the hell can't I? I only want variety, of society
(chorus)
(Magaldi:) Five years from now I shall come back And finally say, "You have your way, come to town." But you'll look at me with a foreigner's eyes The magical city, a younger girl's city A fantasy long since put down
(Eva:) All you've done to me, was that a young girl's fantasy? I played your city games alright, didn't I? I already know what cooks, how the dirty city feels and looks I tasted it last night, didn't I?
I'm gonna be a part of B.A. Buenos Aires, Big Apple
(Eva and family:) She's gonna be a part of B.A. Buenos Aires, Big Apple
(Magaldi:) Eva beware your ambition It's hungry and cold, can't be controlled, will run wild This in a man is danger enough, but you are a woman Not even a woman, not very much more than a child And whatever you say, I'll not steal you away
Now Eva Peron had every disadvantage You need if you're gonna succeed No money, no cash No father, no bright lights There was nowhere she'd been At the age of fifteen
As this tango singer found out Agustin Magaldi Who has the distinction of being the first Man to be of use to Eva Duarte
On this night of a thousand stars Let me take you to heaven's door Where the music of love's guitars Plays for evermore
In the glow of those twinkling lights We shall love through eternity On this night in a million nights Fly away with me
I never dreamed that a kiss could be as sweet as this But now I know that it can I used to wander alone without a love of my own I was a desperate man But all my grief disappeared and all the sorrow I'd feared Wasn't there anymore On that magical day when you first came my way Mi amor
On this night On this night On this night of a thousand stars Let me take you to heaven's door Where the music of love's guitars Plays for evermore
what do you do when it hurts when the kids call you names ? nobody wants to know you they won't let you join in all their games and what will you do when the man in the moon goes away ? and leaves your little world in darkness hiding from the night time until the day
you can come to me, I'll know what to do and if I don't I'll pretend or I'll lie for you but I'll be there for you forever until the day I die
right there by your side, to keep you safe and warm glad to be your shelter from the storm yes I'll be there for you forever until the day I die
and what will you do when you've grown and flown away ? where wlll the four winds take you ? will they bring you back to me someday ? and what will you do when the one that you love breaks your heart ? you have to pick up all the pieces but you don't know just where to start
you can come to me, I'll know what to do and if I don't I'll pretend or I'll lie for you but I'll be there for you forever until the day I die
right there by your side to catch you when you fall and put you back together whether-with-all yes I'll be there for you for always until the day I die
until the day I die I'll be there until the day I die until the day I die I promise until the day I die
I didn't believe all the things that I'd heard about you I couldn't believe all the things that I'd heard were true
and then you took me for a ride I started on my downward slide you wouldn't believe all the measures that I've been through I should've believed all the things that I'd were true
I put my coat as the time-bell rings I give a shiver as the day begins
you put your spell on me and I can't shake you free so let's drink to absent friends
my insides are crying out as I walk alone a body without a soul looking for a home
another hold in my expensive shoe another shiver as the rain comes through
you put your spell on me and I can't shake you free so let's drink to absent friends you put your spell on me and I can't shake you free so let's drink to absent friends
between the benches nd the swinging door I've walked that route a million times or more so just remember, when you look away I climb a mountain every single day
you put your spell on me and I can't shake you free so let's drink to absent friends you put your spell on me and I can't shake you free so let's drink to absent friends
the first time I saw you I realised at once you were an angel in torment how could I desert you I vowed in that moment nothing in this world or any other would ever threaten or hurt you
dragons rage outside your door but I'm on my way to save you demons wage unholy war but I'm on my way to save you
the forces of darkness may mobilise one hundred million demons an army to keep you far from me determined to stop me they'll spend eternity regretting they ever crossed me they'll suffer - believe me
dragons rage outside your door but I'm on my way to save you demons wage unholy war but I'm on my way to save you
dragons rage outside your door but I'm on my way to save you demons wage unholy war but I'm on my way to save you to save you to save you
buy brown besoms buy them when they're new buy broom bessoms better never grew
once upon a time we had a lead to follow well respected men used to show the way folks would follow on 'cause they believed the promise well respected men would never betray now look around it's hard to see integrity you ask for direction and they don't know once upon a time the sun was shin'n brightly but once upon a time was a long time ago
once upon a time we built a revolution big steel wheel roll around the world ten ships sailed and whaled and delivered all the food necessary for the boys and girls then one day came a man with a mission to take away everything they know once upon a time was a land for heroes but once upon a time was a long time ago
once upon a time things were oh so simple you did a day's work you got a day's pay it didn't come to much but it kept a wife and children burned in the lantern that'ld light the way now all's left is the story of a memory the real thing fades with a dying glow once upon a time this was a land of plenty but once upon a time was a long time ago

blue roses will blossom in the snow before I ever let you go blue roses will grow up to the sky before I ever make you cry blue roses...
you need more reassurance than a frightened orphan child that I'm always gonna want you that I'll always be beguiled so I search for words to tell you that my love for you is blind but this fragment of a children's song is all that I can find
blue roses will blossom in the snow before I ever let you go blue roses will grow up to the sky before I ever make you cry blue roses...
this nursery rhyme is corny, it is stranded out of time yet it's simple and it's honest the same and since when was that a crime ? and perhaps whoever wrote it loved someone like I love you for in matters of the heart I've learned there's little that is new
blue roses will blossom In the snow before I ever let you go blue roses will grow up to the sky before I ever make you cry blue roses...
words by Jimmy Nail music by Jimmy Nail/Andy Caine/Danny Schogger
on a day like today I could blow my cares away not a sign of a cloud to make me blue but then you said goodbye, took the sun out of my sky when you told me that you and me were through
catch a falling star, fall down from above put it where you are, wrap it up in love
on a day like today I could blow my cares away not a sign of a cloud above my head but then you said goodbye, took the sun out of my sky when you told me of something that you'd said
take me as I am, it's all I have to give give you all I have, for all the days I live
on a day like today, I could blow my cares away not a sign of a cloud to make me sad but then you said goodbye, took the sun out of my sky when you walked away from something that we had
