We’re in the building
Where they make us grow
And I’m frightened by
The liquid engineers
Like you.
My Mallory heart
Is sure to fail
I could crawl around the floor
Just like I’m real
Like you.
The sound of metal
I want to be
You
I could learn to be a man
Like you.
Plug me in
And turn me on
Oh everything is moving.
I need my treatment
It’s tomorrow they send me
Singing ‘I am an American’.
Do you?
Picture this
If I could make the change
I’d love to pull the wires from the wall
Did you?
And who are you
And how can I try
Here inside I like metal
Aren’t you
All I know
Is no-one dies
I’m still confusing love with need.
Where it began, I can’t begin to knowing
But then I know it’s growing strong
Was in the spring
And spring became the summer
Who’d have believed you’d come along
Hands, touching hands
Reaching out, touching me, touching you
Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I’ve been inclined
To believe they never would
But now I
Look at the night and it don’t seem so lonely
We filled it up with only two
And when I hurt
Hurting runs off my shoulders
How can I hurt when holding you
One, touching one
Reaching out, touching me, touching you
Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I’ve been inclined
To believe they never would
Oh no, no
Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
Sweet Caroline
I believe they never could
Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
God on high
Hear my prayer
In my need
You have always been there
He is young
He’s afraid
Let him rest
Heaven blessed.
Bring him home
Bring him home
Bring him home.
He’s like the son I might have known
If God had granted me a son.
The summers die
One by one
How soon they fly
On and on
And I am old
And will be gone.
Bring him peace
Bring him joy
He is young
He is only a boy
You can take
You can give
Let him be
Let him live
If I die
Let me die
Let him live
Bring him home
Bring him home
Bring him home.
There was a time when men were kind
When their voices were soft
And their words inviting
There was a time when love was blind
And the world was a song
And the song was exciting
There was a time
Then it all went wrong
I dreamed a dream in times gone by
When hope was high and life worth living
I dreamed, that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving
Then I was young and unafraid
And dreams were made and used and wasted
There was no ransom to be paid
No song unsung, no wine untasted
But the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hope apart
As they turn your dream to shame
He slept a summer by my side
He filled my days with endless wonder
He took my childhood in his stride
But he was gone when autumn came
And still I dream he’ll come to me
That we will live the years together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms we cannot weather
I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I’m living
So different now from what it seemed
Now life has killed the dream
I dreamed
It’s a wonder
Wonder woman
You’re so wild
And wonderful
‘Cause it seems whenever
We’re together
The planets all stand still
Barbarella, psychedelia
There’s a kind of cockleshell about you
(Barbarella, ba-Barbarella)
Mmm, dazzle me with rainbow colors
Fade away the duller shade of living
Get me up high (High)
Teach me to fly (Fly)
Electrify (Electrify my night)
My night, with starry light
Above the stratosphere
Bring your dearness near
‘Til the dawn comes tumbling down
(Don’t make a sound, shh)
Every word we need comes
From the skies
Can’t you read my eyes
Saying “love”?
[Bridge 2]
Whoa, you give me a cold shoulder
Still I’m dying, girl, to hold ya
And make love
Love (Ba-ba, ba-bow!)
Barbarella, psychedelia
Never can a fella name or clone you
“What good is sitting alone In your room?
Come hear the music play.
Life is a Cabaret, old chum,
Come to the Cabaret.
Put down the knitting,
The book and the broom.
It’s time for a holiday.
Life is a Cabaret, old chum
Come to the Cabaret.
Come taste the wine,
Come hear the band.
Come blow a horn,
Start celebrating;
Right this way,
Your table’s waiting.
What good’s permitting
Some prophet of doom
To wipe every smile away.
Life is a Cabaret, old chum,
Come to the Cabaret!
I used to have a girlfriend
Known as Elsie,
With whom I shared
Four sordid rooms in Chelsea
She wasn’t what you’d call
A blushing flower…
As a matter of fact
She rented by the hour.
The day she died the neighbors
Came to snicker:
“Well, that’s what comes
From too much pills and liquor.”
But when I saw her laid out like a Queen,
She was the happiest… corpse…
I’d ever seen.
I think of Elsie to this very day.
I remember how she’d turn to me and say:
“What good is sitting all alone in you room?
Come hear the music play.
Life is a Cabaret, old chum,
Come to the Cabaret.”
And as for me,
I made my mind up back in Chelsea,
When I go, I’m going like Elsie.
Start by admitting
From cradle to tomb
It isn’t that long a stay.
Life is a Cabaret, old chum,
Only a Cabaret, old chum
And I love a Cabaret.
I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath
Scared to rock the boat and make a mess
So I sat quietly, agreed politely
I guess that I forgot I had a choice
I let you push me past the breaking point
I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything
You held me down, but I got up (hey)
Already brushing off the dust
You hear my voice, you hear that sound
Like thunder, gonna shake the ground
You held me down, but I got up (hey)
Get ready ’cause I’ve had enough
I see it all, I see it now
I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter
Dancing through the fire
‘Cause I am a champion, and you’re gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
‘Cause I am a champion, and you’re gonna hear me roar
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
You’re gonna hear me roar
Now I’m floatin’ like a butterfly
Stinging like a bee, I earned my stripes
I went from zero, to my own hero
You held me down, but I got up (hey)
Already brushing off the dust
You hear my voice, you hear that sound
Like thunder, gonna shake the ground
You held me down, but I got up (hey)
Get ready ’cause I’ve had enough
I see it all, I see it now
I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter
Dancing through the fire
‘Cause I am a champion, and you’re gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
‘Cause I am a champion, and you’re gonna hear me roar
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
You’re gonna hear me roar
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (you’ll hear me roar)
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
You’re gonna hear me roar
Roar, roar, roar, roar, roar
I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter
Dancing through the fire
‘Cause I am a champion, and you’re gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
‘Cause I am a champion, and you’re gonna hear me roar
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (yeah)
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
You’re gonna hear me roar
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (you’ll hear me roar)
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
You’re gonna hear me roar
[Verse 1]
Do you ever feel like a plastic bag
Drifting through the wind, wanting to start again?
Do you ever feel, feel so paper-thin
Like a house of cards, one blow from caving in?
Do you ever feel already buried deep?
Six feet under screams, but no one seems to hear a thing
Do you know that there’s still a chance for you?
‘Cause there’s a spark in you
[Pre-Chorus]
You just gotta ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the Fourth of July
[Chorus]
‘Cause baby, you’re a firework
Come on show ’em what you’re worth
Make ’em go, “Aah, aah, aah”
As you shoot across the sky
Baby, you’re a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make ’em go, “Aah, aah, aah”
You’re gonna leave them all in awe, awe, awe
[Verse 2]
You don’t have to feel like a waste of space
You’re original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow
Maybe a reason why all the doors are closed
So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will glow
And when it’s time, you’ll know
[Pre-Chorus]
You just gotta ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the Fourth of July
[Chorus]
‘Cause baby, you’re a firework
Come on, show ’em what you’re worth
Make ’em go, “Aah, aah, aah”
As you shoot across the sky
Baby, you’re a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make ’em go, “Aah, aah, aah”
You’re gonna leave them all in awe, awe, awe
[Bridge]
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
It’s always been inside of you, you, you
And now it’s time to let it through
[Chorus]
‘Cause baby, you’re a firework
Come on, show ’em what you’re worth
Make ’em go, “Aah, aah, aah”
As you shoot across the sky
Baby, you’re a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make ’em go, “Aah, aah, aah”
You’re gonna leave them all in awe, awe, awe
[Outro]
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
I’m waiting For the right time
If we meet Wonder what I’ll find
It’s all in my head
But I wish she could be mine, yeah
Hiding, all the love inside
It’s hell to know
She doesn’t know
But I want to tell you
She drives me out of my mind
I’m waiting For love to come my way
So I wrote her a letter the other day
So many things that I wanted to say to her
Maybe now the pain will go away
It’s hell to know
She doesn’t know
But I want to tell you
She drives me out of my mind
I’m waiting How long is it gonna be
A face in a crowd
Does she ever noticed me
We never met, so wish she a fantasy
How can I know, I’ll have to wait and see
It’s hell to know
She doesn’t know
But I want to tell you
She drives me out of my mind
Tu cosa fai stasera?
Rimani ancora un po’
Sarà quest’atmosfera
Ma non mi dire di no
Per farti prigioniero
Qualcosa inventerò
Ma che bisogno c’era
Di amarti subito un po’
Questo giorno è una pazzia
Ma la luna è amica mia
Se ti resta un sogno da buttare via
Soli in mezzo a una città
Solo amici e poi chissà
Poi non basta mai
Tante cose da dirsi
E baciarsi e capirsi e stringersi
Poi non basta mai
Si fa tardi ma dai
Dove corri a quest’ora?
Just show me how to love you
Io non ti lascio più
Gabbiano di scogliera
Io sto una favola e tu?
Just show me how to love you
Fame o febbre o quel che sia
Mi ci sento a casa mia
Dentro questo sogno da buttare via
Non mi sembra vero ma
Sembra un’altra la città
E non basta mai
Tante cose da dirsi
E baciarsi e capirsi e stringersi
E non basta mai
È già tardi ma dai
Dove torni a quest’ora?
Just show me how to love you
E ci ridiamo su
Gabbiano di scogliera
Ma dov’eri nascosto
Dov’eri fin’ora?
Tu cosa fai stasera?
Ci ridiamo su
Magari un’altra sera
Ed è già domattina
E la luna la spegni tu!
Aranjuez
Un lugar de ensueños y de amor
Donde un rumor de fuentes de cristal
En el jardín parece hablar
En voz baja a las rosas
Aranjuez
Hoy las hojas secas sin color
Que barre el viento
Son recuerdos del romance que una vez
Juntos empezamos tú y yo
Y sin razón olvidamos
Quizás el amor escondido esté
En un atardecer
En la brisa o en la flor
Esperando tu regreso
Aranjuez
Hoy las hojas secas sin color
Que barre el viento
Son recuerdos del romance que una vez
Juntos empezamos tú y yo
Y sin razón olvidamos
En Aranjuez, amor
Tú y yo
As the snow flies
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin’
A poor little baby child is born
In the ghetto
(In the ghetto)
And his mama cries
‘Cause if there’s one thing that she don’t need
It is another hungry mouth to feed
In the ghetto
(In the ghetto)
People, don’t you understand
The child needs a helping hand
Or he’ll grow to be an angry young man some day
Take a look at you and me
Are we too blind to see?
Do we simply turn our heads
And look the other way
Well, the world turns
And a hungry little boy with a runny nose
Plays in the street as the cold wind blows
In the ghetto
(In the ghetto)
And his hunger burns
So he starts to roam the streets at night
And he learns how to steal
And he learns how to fight
In the ghetto
(In the ghetto)
Then one night in desperation
The young man breaks away
He buys a gun, steals a car
Tries to run, but he don’t get far
And his mama cries
As a crowd gathers ’round an angry young man
Face down on the street with a gun in his hand
In the ghetto
(In the ghetto)
And as her young man dies
(In the ghetto)
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin’
Another little baby child is born
In the ghetto
(In the ghetto)
And his mama cries
(In the ghetto)
(In the ghetto)
(Ah)
We’re caught in a trap
I can’t walk out
Because I love you too much, baby
Why can’t you see
What you’re doing to me
When you don’t believe a word I say?
We can’t go on together
With suspicious minds (suspicious minds)
And we can’t build our dreams
On suspicious minds
So if an old friend I know
Stops by to say hello
Would I still see suspicion in your eyes?
Here we go again
Asking where I’ve been
You can’t see the tears are real, I’m crying
(Yes I’m crying)
We can’t go on together
With suspicious minds (suspicious minds)
And we can’t build our dreams
On suspicious minds
Oh, let our love survive
I’ll dry the tears from your eyes
Let’s don’t let a good thing die
When honey, you know I’ve never lied to you
Mmm, yeah, yeah
We’re caught in a trap
I can’t walk out
Because I love you too much, baby
Why can’t you see
What you’re doing to me
When you don’t believe a word I say?
Well, don’t you know I’m caught in a trap?
I can’t walk out
Because I love you too much, baby
Well, don’t you know I’m caught in a trap?
I can’t walk out
Because I love you too much, baby
Well, don’t you know I’m caught in a trap?
I can’t walk out
Because I love you too much, baby
Well, don’t you know I’m caught in a trap?
I can’t walk out
Because I love you too much, baby
Well, don’t you know I’m caught in a trap?
I can’t walk out
Because I love you too much, baby
Well, don’t you know I’m caught in a trap?
I can’t walk out
Because I love you too much, baby
Well, don’t you know I’m caught in a trap?
