Friends Like Me

A collaboration between Refoo and our lovely Evalyn.

Here I go!
Uh, ooh, woo!
Back up! Uh-oh! Watch out! Uh!
You done wound me up!
‘Bout to show you what I’m workin’ with, uh
Well, Ali Baba, he had them 40 thieves
Scheherazade had a thousand tales
But, master, you’re in luck because up your sleeves
You got a brand of magic never fails
You got some power in your corner now
Heavy ammunition in your camp
You got some punch, pizazz, yahoo, and how?
All you gotta do is rub that lamp
And then I’ll say
“Mr. Man, what’s your name? Whatever-
What will your pleasure be?
Let me take your order, I’ll jot it down”
You ain’t never had a friend like me
Life is your restaurant
And I’m your maitre d’
Come, whisper to me whatever it is you want
You ain’t never had a friend like me
We pride ourselves on service
You the boss, the king, the shah!
Say what you wish, it’s yours! True dish
How about a little more baklava?
Have some of column A
Try all of column B
I’m in the mood to help you, dude
You ain’t never had a friend like me
Oh! Uh!
It’s the big part, watch out
It’s the big part, oh
Can your friends do this?
Can your friends do that?
Can your friends pull this?
Out their little hat?
Can your friends go?
I’m the genie of the lamp
I can sing, rap, dance, if you give me a chance, oh!
Don’t sit there buggy-eyed
I’m here to answer all your midday prayers
You got me bona fide, certified
You got a genie for your charge d’affaires
I got a powerful urge to help you out
So what’s your wish? I really wanna know
You got a list that’s three miles long, no doubt
All you gotta do is rub like so
Mister Aladdin! Yes!
One wish or two or three
Well, I’m on the job, you big nabob
You ain’t never had a friend, never had a friend, you ain’t
Never had a friend, never had a friend
You ain’t never (never!)
Had a (had a)
Friend (friend)
Like (like)

Chandelier

Party girls don’t get hurt
Can’t feel anything, when will I learn?
I push it down, push it down
I’m the one “for a good time call”
Phone’s blowin’ up, ringin’ my doorbell
I feel the love, feel the love
One, two, three, one, two, three, drink
One, two, three, one, two, three, drink
One, two, three, one, two, three, drink
Throw ’em back ’til I lose count
I’m gonna swing from the chandelier
From the chandelier
I’m gonna live like tomorrow doesn’t exist
Like it doesn’t exist
I’m gonna fly like a bird through the night
Feel my tears as they dry
I’m gonna swing from the chandelier
From the chandelier
But I’m holding on for dear life
Won’t look down, won’t open my eyes
Keep my glass full until morning light
‘Cause I’m just holding on for tonight
Help me, I’m holding on for dear life
Won’t look down, won’t open my eyes
Keep my glass full until morning light
‘Cause I’m just holding on for tonight, on for tonight
Sun is up, I’m a mess
Gotta get out now, gotta run from this
Here comes the shame, here comes the shame
One, two, three, one, two, three, drink
One, two, three, one, two, three, drink
One, two, three, one, two, three, drink
Throw ’em back ’til I lose count
I’m gonna swing from the chandelier
From the chandelier
I’m gonna live like tomorrow doesn’t exist
Like it doesn’t exist
I’m gonna fly like a bird through the night
Feel my tears as they dry
I’m gonna swing from the chandelier
From the chandelier
But I’m holding on for dear life
Won’t look down, won’t open my eyes
Keep my glass full until morning light
‘Cause I’m just holding on for tonight
Help me, I’m holding on for dear life
Won’t look down, won’t open my eyes
Keep my glass full until morning light
‘Cause I’m just holding on for tonight
On for tonight, on for tonight
‘Cause I’m just holding on for tonight
Oh, I’m just holding on for tonight
On for tonight, on for tonight
‘Cause I’m just holding on for tonight
‘Cause I’m just holding on for tonight
Oh, I’m just holding on for tonight
On for tonight, on for tonight

Rebel Rebel

Doo doo doo-doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo-doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo-doo doo doo doo doo
You’ve got your mother in a whirl
She’s not sure if you’re a boy or a girl
Hey babe, your hair’s alright
Hey babe, let’s go out tonight
You like me, and I like it all
We like dancing and we look divine
You love bands when they’re playing hard
You want more and you want it fast
They put you down, they say I’m wrong
You tacky thing, you put them on
Rebel rebel, you’ve torn your dress
Rebel rebel, your face is a mess
Rebel rebel, how could they know?
Hot tramp, I love you so!
Don’t ya?
Doo doo doo-doo doo doo doo doo
You’ve got your mother in a whirl ’cause she’s
Not sure if you’re a boy or a girl
Hey babe, your hair’s alright
Hey babe, let’s stay out tonight
You like me, and I like it all
We like dancing and we look divine
You love bands when they’re playing hard
You want more and you want it fast
They put you down, they say I’m wrong
You tacky thing, you put them on
Rebel rebel, you’ve torn your dress
Rebel rebel, your face is a mess
Rebel rebel, how could they know?
Hot tramp, I love you so!

Rebel rebel, you’ve torn your dress
Rebel rebel, your face is a mess
Rebel rebel, how could they know?
Hot tramp, I love you so!
You’ve torn your dress, your face is a mess
You can’t get enough, but enough ain’t the test
You’ve got your transmission and your live wire
You got your cue line and a handful of ludes
You wanna be there when they count up the dudes
And I love your dress
You’re a juvenile success
Because your face is a mess
So how could they know?
I said, how could they know?
So what you wanna know
Calamity’s child, chi-chi, chi-chi
Where’d you wanna go?
What can I do for you? Looks like you’ve been there too
‘Cause you’ve torn your dress
And your face is a mess
Ooh, your face is a mess
Ooh, ooh, so how could they know?
Eh, eh, how could they know?
Eh, eh

Ave Maria

Ave Maria
Gratia plena
Maria, gratia plena
Maria, gratia plena
Ave, ave dominus
Dominus tecum
Bendicta tu in mulieribus
Et benedictus
Et benedictus fructus ventris
Ventris tui, Iesus
Ave Maria
Ave Maria
Maiden mild
I listen to a maidens prayer
For thou canst hear amid the wild
‘Tis thou, ’tis thou canst save me amid despair
We slumber safely ’til the morrow
Though e’en by men outcast reviled
Oh, maiden
See a maiden sorrow
Oh, mother hear a suppliant child
Ave Maria

Being Evil has a Price

Is this the golden man that I run through
If I could give my thoughts across to you
A million dollars for your sorrow now you’re paying for it
Think twice, being evil has a price
I hear a lot of little secrets
Tell me yours and I’ll keep it
You wanna know my name by now
Better think twice, ’cause being evil has a price
I start to wonder is this real life
Throw out a candle, turn out the light
The cause of morals make you feel like you’re better than it
Think twice, being evil has a price
I hear a lot of little secrets
Tell me yours and I’ll keep it
You wanna know my name by now
Better think twice, ’cause being evil has a price
I got a nasty reputation, nor I feel the hesitation
Better think twice
‘Cause being evil has a price
Being evil has a price
I hear a lot of little secrets
Tell me yours and I’ll keep it
You wanna know my name by now
Better think twice, being evil has a price
I got a nasty reputation, nor I feel the hesitation
You better think twice
‘Cause being evil has a price
‘Cause being evil has a price

I Predict a Riot

Watching the people get lairy
It’s not very pretty I tell thee
Walking through town is quite scary
It’s not very sensible either
A friend of a friend he got beaten
He looked the wrong way at a policeman
Would never have happened to Smeaton
An Old Leodensian
La… la, la, la, la, la
Ah… la, la, la, la, la
I predict a riot
I predict a riot
I predict a riot
I predict a riot
I tried to get to my taxi
The man in a tracksuit attacks me
He said that he saw it before me
And wants to get things a bit gory
Girls scrabble ’round with no clothes on
To borrow a pound for a condom
If it wasn’t for chip fat they’d be frozen
They’re not very sensible
La… la, la, la, la, la
Ah… la, la, la, la, la
I predict a riot
I predict a riot
I predict a riot
I predict a riot
And if there’s anybody left in here
That doesn’t want to be out there, oh
Watching the people get lairy
It’s not very pretty I tell thee
Walking through town is quite scary
Not very sensible
La… la, la, la, la, la
Ah… la, la, la, la, la
I predict a riot
I predict a riot
I predict a riot
I predict a riot
And if there’s anybody left in here
That doesn’t want to be out there
I predict a riot
I predict a riot
I predict a riot
I predict a riot

Set Controls For The Heart Of The Sun

Little by little the night turns around
Counting the leaves which tremble at dawn
Lotuses lean on each other in yearning
Under the eaves the swallow is resting
Set the controls for the heart of the sun
Over the mountain watching the watcher
Breaking the darkness waking the grapevine
One inch of love is one inch of shadow
Love is the shadow that ripens the wine
Set the controls for the heart of the sun
The heart of the sun
The heart of the sun
The heart of the sun
The heart of the sun
The heart of the sun
The heart of the sun
The heart of the sun
The heart of the sun
The heart of the sun
The heart of the sun
The heart of the sun
The heart of the sun
The heart of the sun
Witness the man who raves at the wall
Making the shape of his question to heaven
Whether the sun will fall in the evening
Will he remember the lesson of giving?
Set the controls for the heart of the sun
The heart of the sun
The heart of the sun
The heart of the sun
The heart of the sun
The heart of the sun
The heart of the sun
The heart of the sun
The heart of the sun
The heart of the sun
The heart of the sun
The heart of the sun
The heart of the sun
The heart of the sun
The heart of the sun

Moment of Peace

Come now, come by our side
Fireplace where you can hide
We are the sunshine
Rest your soul here and you’ll find
We are the energy
We give the world to thee
Hold up your heart now
We will ease pain from your brow
In a world without dangers
When destruction is near
You can come with us here
When the people are strangers
You will rest here with me
In a moment of peace
In a world without dangers
When destruction is near
You can come with us here
When the people are strangers
You will rest here with me
In a moment of peace
Light up the dark below
See through the stars
Reach to the earth’s flow
Drift into the joy of our hearts
Unleash the energy
Taste of the wine
Drink as a soul that
Knows now the power divine
In a world without dangers
When destruction is near
You can come with us here
When the people are strangers
You will rest here with me
In a moment of peace
In a world without dangers
When destruction is near
You can come with us here
When the people are strangers
You will rest here with me
In a moment of peace
In a moment of peace
