Lost your toy lover boy
In the mirror take a look You're much older now You used to be 23 Suddenly the summer ends And you don't know how It was endless fun, hit and run Sweet talk was your middle name Always on the prowl Just one dance no romance Living like an alley cat And you sure could howl Your secret's safe with me You're tired and lonely The only cure will be love Your secret's safe with me Ain't no contender You got no fist in your glove Your secret's safe with me You're searching for someone Who's got no lies to conceal Your secret's safe with me Waiting for someone Whose eyes will tell you it's real Whose eyes will tell you it's real Whose eyes will tell you it's... Live and learn wait your turn Don't you know the deepest love Comes to those who wait Why be smart hear your heart Leading you to someone who... NO it's not too late Your secret's safe with me (Your secret's safe with me) Tired and lonely The only cure will be love Your secret's safe with me (Your secret's safe with me) Ain't no contender You got no fist in your glove Your secret's safe with me (Your secret's safe with me) You're searching for someone Who's got no lies to conceal Your secret's safe with me (Your secret's safe with me) Waiting for someone Whose eyes will tell you it's real (Will tell you it's real...) Whose eyes will tell you it's real (Whose eyes Will tell you it's real...) Your secret's safe with me (Your secret's safe with me) Tired and lonely The only cure will be love Your secret's safe with me (Your secret's safe with me) Ain't no contender You got no fist in your glove Your secret's safe with me (Your secret's safe with me) Searching for someone Who's got no lies to conceal Your secret's safe with me (Your secret's safe with me) Waiting for someone Whose eyes will tell you it's real Your secret's safe with me (Your secret's safe with me) |

Flirting with temptation
Falling helplessly From the moment I saw you I new that You were meant for meAll those years to find you Love's telepathy Guided me like a heartbeating: You were meant for me Such a samba Ay caramba! Dancing close so Sensuoso Rhythms underneath the Tropic skies Helped me to realize How evidently You were meant for meThere's just one solution To this mystery Give your heart In surrender Admit that You were meant for me |

When I was a boy of twenty-two
I stood before a statue Was it you? They shake the fruit when they dance You should try some when you have the chance. Her face had no power to deceive She wore her beauty shamelessly Like Eve. Guavas can be bittersweet But the mango's always good to eat, Love has complicated my past. God nows I left no stone unturned. Now I realize that at last I've found her again. She understands how the blue water behaves. Mother-of-pearl is the woman in the waves. My eyes could travel her beauty for always. Gold of the sun is the woman in the waves. I know that my life has led me here To where the dolphin jumps And the sky's clear. Here we live without locked doors Share and share alike- what's mine is yours. I see invitation in your smile To celebrate our passions Without guile. In the noa noa night Nave nave's a familiar sight. I am avare of her fragrance Even when she disappears. |

When the cookie jar is empty
Baby gets so glum When the cookie jar is empty Baby sucks her thumb Baby breaks her dishes And she won't eat her peas Baby never misses When she throws her spoon at me Leo is high as I am leaving; Love is the web that she is weaving When the cookie jar is empty Baby don't act right When the cookie jar is empty Baby cries all night Baby gets so sassy, How can I explain? Baby moves her chassis Like a locomotive train Virgo is high as I'm returning; Love is the candle she is burning |

Lovers from Shakespeare come to mind
The "parting is such sweet" "Wherefore art thou" kind Shattered illusions, sad conclusions When I think of us Love called the shots and we believed We gave new meaning to the word "naive" Can't comprehend the logic of love When I think of us How it exploded I don't know Right out of nowhere We ran out of mistletoe Still I remember only good times When I think of us We were young and our hearts were broken when love was lost The pain we concealed Somehow time has healed We tried hard but I Guess we failed the test Does it matter why? Just remember I Hope you're happy I Wish you all the best Who could predict the end of spring? We were in love and love was everything Promises broken, cruel words spoken When I think of us How it exploded I can't say Right out of nowhere The rain washed it all away Still I remember only good times When I think of us We were young and our hearts were broken when love was lost |

Whenever I am lost at sea
I remember you are here with me You surrender to the fantasy When I give my love to you Running from the hurricane Helter-skelter in the wind and rain I find shelter, I find peace again When I give my love to you When I give my love to you I can feel the downtime ending And I ain't pretending Words can simply not reveal The degree of ecstasy Only you can make me feel When you give your love to me Lover, when the world's too square I discover you are always there And no other lover can compare When I give my love to you. |

Lady when you love me
I feel home sweet home inside of you sublime This garden's sure to grow you know Our love is just like summertime Parrots eye the fruit And we make love Between the harpsichords and lutes Our green limbs intertwine you know Our love is just like summertime Our souls collide We slip and slide We feel no pain And with our lives locked together We weather the wind and rain We grow the farm We're safe from harm Inside this circle of summertime Both of us know is our love Lovers from the past with poison smiles All pray our love will never last But we are trees not vines you know Our love is just like summertime As the song begins These shipwrecks fade Behind a wave of violins Vivaldi made us rhyme you know Our love is just like summertime |

How did you ever find her?
She tried so hard to disappear. Somebody rang the bell and Handed her Vincent's ear. And no one understands All the love inside he tried to give No one understands His wife was hard to live No one understands In a past which he could not desert No one understands How his heart was hurt Somehow by someone. People suspect a secret But what could explain a gift so queer? Totally unprepared for The riddle of Vincent's ear. Time can't erase the image: Handsomely wrapped for you, my dear. Imagine her surprise then Discovering Vincent's ear. |

Most of the time
He's the Lord of the Jungle- Everyone grins while he gripes Usually he's found just lounging around In his stripes His tiger-lady's a superfine feline- Just what His Highness deserves... A sleek purring pussycat Proud of her pussycat curves He's a Tiger in the Rain It's the thunder and lightning He can't explain He's a Tiger in the Rain Who's frightened Caught in the Storm He came searching for shelter- Right up to me and my spouse We both stroked his chin Then invited him into the house |

See that shadow cross the mountain,
Summer in the warbler's eye, Beauty never is forgotten, though the moment passes by, [?????] the evening slowly dires down the light, All the flora seems to smolther Water-coloring into the muted pallet of the night. Can you see how our seclusion is complete With the summertime in bloom And our feet side by side in the grass starring up at the sky I assume, this must be paradise... Tenderly now, all I need to demonstrate, You need only ondulate, Keeping time with the samba llke this while stars rise. I assume, this must be paradise... I can think of [??????] For the joys within our reach And if hunger overtakes us, Open sesame! I brought with me Banana, plum and peach Can you see how our seclusion is complete With the summertime in bloom And our feet side by side in the grass starring up at the sky I assume, this must be paradise... Tenderly now, all I need to demonstrate, You need only ondulate, Keeping time with the samba llke this while stars rise. I assume, this must be paradise... |

From the Towers of Babylon The beat goes on- All voices of the insincere. Confusion is middle C Your frequency is what I need to hear.Why won't you speak to me? Show me some affection, Give me some direction, Lead me to your love? Just speak to me- Don't torture me with silence. Solitude's a science I would rather not learn. For you I would lose my heart. How can you refuse my heart?Legend says Michelangelo Was moved to throw His hammer at the statue's knee. Resembling flesh and bone Its mouth of stone Was quiet company. |

I know whereof I speak
Believe me When it comes to the subject Of loneliness look it up you'll see There is a picture of meBut that's ancient history now Completely Now when it comes to the subject Of happiness I'm the man to see And my advice in summary:Look for a soul mate Someone whose love will go the Distance Stop collecting only temporary hearts Just find a soul mate And then let go of your resistance You'll live happy ever after from the startYou need a soul mate Before your house of cards collapses Whose devotion's like a candle in the night Locate a soul mate To help you navigate the rapids That rise up along the river of your lifeIt's you or do my eyes deceive me? Like divine intervention You gave your heart to me for keeps I knew I was in deepThis feeling I have it never leaves me What a perfect invention Love is. It soothes the savage beast These words of wisdom I : |

When circumstance divides us,
I always close my eyes. My thoughts retrace the image of your face: Somehow our love survives. Now we're in our prime and it's Once Upon a Time... Paper lanterns in the trees. The photograph is framed But the feeling's still the same: I'm there for you and you're always there for me. After the hero stumbles, After the lady cries, After the fortress tumbles, Somehow our love survives. Each time we touch each other the chemistry revives; Each kiss contains an energy exchange: Somehow our love survives. Now we're in our prime and it's Once Upon a Time... Paper lanterns in the trees.

Remember when We met at the shrine Your kimono looked so fine Temple dancers swaying Flutes playing then I was yours and you were mine Paul Desmond on the stereo We sipped the sake very slow Kissing in the candleglow That rainy night in Tokyo We both got so hungry on the bullet train Lugging our luggage through the station Finding a taxi in the pouring rain We must have made quite a sight In love on a rainy night And due for a little celebration Safe from stormy weather Together we Stayed inside our room Just admiring the typhoon Heard the cats arrive Nearly five but we Were still making love in tune |

And when God gave out rhythm
He sure was good to you You can add, subtract, multiply. And divide by two I know today's your birthday And I did not buy no rose But I wrote this song instead and I call it: Popsicle Toes Popsicle Toes, Popsicle Toes are always froze Popsicle Toes, You're so brave to expose all those Popsicle Toes You must have been Miss Pennsylvania With all this pulchritude, How come you always load your Pentax When I'm in the nude? We ought to have a birthday party And you can wear your birthday clothes, Then we can hit the floor and go explore those Popsicle Toes You got the nicest North America This sailor ever saw- I like to feel your warm Brazil And touch your Panama But your Tierra del Fuegos Are nearly always froze- We gotta see-saw until we unthaw those Popsicle Toes |

from Michael Franks - Blue Pacific (1990)
I've wasted a lifetime Pursuing an image that did not exist Except in my own mind Except in my own dream. My life has convinced me That happines never can really be found Until you remember The voice of your own heart.It's all on the inside To say you can find it elsewhere Would be wrong. It's all on the inside Each soul has its song. It was here all along On the inside.It cannot be captured On canvas it cannot be Carved into stone. No art can sustain it Believe me I've tried. It always eludes you No matter what strategem You may devise. It's no destination A compass can find.There's only love on the inside No counterfeit no need for it. A perfect place for your heart to hide No danger near nothing to fear. Life's hurricane can't reach within. |

I was just a stand-in
Someone love abandoned - not the leading man But my heart yelled "Action" What does "fall in love" mean? We rehearsed the Love Scene unaware of this Till we tried The Kiss and Now... now you're in my dreams Love was such a mystery Love was ancient history - pleasure chased with pain Till you whispered my name In the soundstage moonlight We could not say goodnight - unaccustomed to Happiness so new and Now... now you're in my dreams Now the close-up me and you And every old cliche rings true The Samba begins Fate to the winds First it smolders then it burns, you Pass the point of no return, do Lovers stay in love by learning How to leave the world at the door and live Live inside their dreams? |

The music begins
And the titles fade in Starring you and me The hero is struggling to say That his lady is far away In her prison of wishes We love and we fight But it's all Day For Night Just a Masquerade We reel 'til the red light is off Then we go take our faces off Like two clowns in a sideshow Love is like two dreamers dreaming the exact same dream Just another technicolor romance on the screen Love is like two dreamers dreaming the exact same dream Just another technicolor romance on the screen I keep you in frame And I whisper your name 'til the picture fades The feeling is already gone I don't know why am I going on Can't remember the ending |

Money misery grows
Oh woe is we Who know where it will end Hard luck follows us Minus never plus Will we break or just bend Never say die We've got the worst behind us If we just try Soon we'll be feeling strong Cancel that frown Somehow the light will find us Can't keep us down Well at least not for long Worry's worn us thin But when our ship comes in All our troubles will fold We're a perfect fit Come to think of it Love's more precious than gold |

Kid inside a candy store
Sensation Temptation Always gotta have some more You love that sticky stuff Ain't no way you're lettin' go You tease me You squeeze me Well there's something you should know I never get enough I know I'm never I know I'm never I know I'm never satisfied Go slow I'm never Oh no I'm never I'm hardly ever satisfied Girl we sure can loop the loop Fantastic Gymnastic We can slam it through the hoop And all that tricky stuff We should thank the stars above Elated We're mated Happy prisoners of love We never get enough I know we're never I know we're never I know we're never satisfied Go slow we're never Oh no we're never We're hardly ever satisfied No matter what we do we're never satisfied 'Cause when it's me and you we're never satisfied |

We touched like watercolour fawns
In landscapes painted by Cezanne Like lovers floating painted by Chegall But you and I were you-I then We thought the rush wo uld never end We thought the sky, t he sky would never fall We lived we loved we laughed we cried We'll never die, and now I th ink of you And I change right into Mr Blue You say your lover buys you lace I say he's fine, I like his face I guess you still think love will conquere all I know, but it's not what you think I only hope it s tays in sync I only want, I want to wish you well |

Love has locked us up, peaches,
Locked inside this zoo, Your bananas get thrown at me And mine get thrown at you. Ev'ry night we fuss and fight Like me and you know who, I guess love is always just: Love is monkey see and monkey do, (that's all it is, peaches) Love is monkey see and monkey do, (would I lie to you?) Love is monkey see and monkey do, (that's all it is, peaches) Love is monkey see and monkey do. Do you want my love, peaches? Do you want my rage? Or do you merely like to see me shake my cage? Your papayas get thrown at me And mine get thrown at you, I guess love is always just: Love is monkey see and monkey do, (that's all it is, peaches) Love is monkey see and monkey do, (would I lie to you?) Love is monkey see and monkey do, (that's all it is, peaches) Love is monkey see and monkey do. You won't let me near you, peaches, But one day you will. Gonna jump up and stumble and eat all the jungle Until I've had my fill. Then you'll know the truth, peaches, One and one ain't two, One and one is one and love is: Love is monkey see and monkey do, (that's all it is, peaches) Love is monkey see and monkey do, Would I lie to you? (would I lie to you, baby?) Love is monkey see and monkey do, (that's all it is, peaches) Love is monkey see and monkey do. (love is, love is) Love is monkey see and monkey do, (that's all it is, peaches) Love is monkey see and monkey do, Would I lie to you? (would i lie to you, baby?) Love is monkey see and monkey do, (that's all it is, peaches) Love is monkey see and monkey do |
