[Greywind]

Bobby's driving through the city tonight
Through the lights
In a hot new rent a car
He joins the lover in his heavy machine
It's a scene down on Sunset Boulevard

 

Say goodbye to Hollywood
Say goodbye my baby
Say goodbye to Hollywood
Say goodbye my baby

 

Johnny's taking care of things for a while
And his style is so right for troubadours
They got him sitting with his back to the door
Now he won't be my fast gun anymore

 

Say goodbye to Hollywood
Say goodbye my baby
Say goodbye to Hollywood
Say goodbye my baby

 

Moving on is a chance that you take every time
You try to stay together
Say a word out of line and you find
That the friends you had are gone
Forever, forever
So many faces in and out of my life
Some will last, some will just be now and then
Life is a series of hellos and goodbyes
I'm afraid it's time for goodbye again

 

Say goodbye to Hollywood
Say goodbye my baby
Say goodbye to Hollywood
Say goodbye my baby

 

Moving on is a chance that you take every time
You try to stay together
Say a word out of line and you find
That the friends you had are gone
Forever, forever
So many faces in and out of my life
Some will last, some will just be now and then
Life is a series of hellos and goodbyes
I'm afraid it's time for goodbye again

 

Say goodbye to Hollywood
Say goodbye my baby
Say goodbye to Hollywood
Say goodbye my baby

Summertime, and the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high
Oh, your daddy's rich and your ma is good-lookin'
So hush little baby, Don't you cry

One of these mornings you're gonna rise up singing
And you'll spread your wings and you'll take to the sky
But 'til that morning, there ain't nothin' can harm you
With Daddy and Mammy standin' by

Summertime, and the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high
Oh, your daddy's rich and your ma is good-lookin'
So hush little baby, Don't you cry

One of these mornings you're gonna rise up singing
And you'll spread your wings and you'll take to the sky
But 'til that morning, there ain't nothin can harm you
With Daddy and Mammy standin' by

[death tribble]

Kiss me hard before you go
Summertime sadness
I just wanted you to know
That, baby, you're the best

I got my red dress on tonight
Dancing in the dark in the pale moonlight
Done my hair up real big beauty queen style
High heels off, I'm feeling alive

Oh, my God, I feel it in the air
Telephone wires above are sizzling like a snare
Honey, I'm on fire, I feel it everywhere
Nothing scares me anymore

(1, 2, 3, 4)

Kiss me hard before you go
Summertime sadness
I just wanted you to know
That, baby, you're the best

I got that summertime, summertime sadness
S-s-summertime, summertime sadness
Got that summertime, summertime sadness
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

I'm feelin' electric tonight
Cruising down the coast goin' 'bout 99
Got my bad baby by my heavenly side
I know if I go, I'll die happy tonight

Oh, my God, I feel it in the air
Telephone wires above are sizzling like a snare
Honey, I'm on fire, I feel it everywhere
Nothing scares me anymore

(1, 2, 3, 4)

Kiss me hard before you go
Summertime sadness
I just wanted you to know
That, baby, you're the best

I got that summertime, summertime sadness
S-s-summertime, summertime sadness
Got that summertime, summertime sadness
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Think I'll miss you forever
Like the stars miss the sun in the morning sky
Later's better than never
Even if you're gone I'm gonna drive (drive, drive)

I got that summertime, summertime sadness
S-s-summertime, summertime sadness
Got that summertime, summertime sadness
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Kiss me hard before you go
Summertime sadness
I just wanted you to know
That, baby, you're the best

I got that summertime, summertime sadness
S-s-summertime, summertime sadness
Got that summertime, summertime sadness
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

[Armory]

Never again, isn't that what you said?

You've been through this before,

You swore this time you'd think with your head.

No one would ever have you again;

And if takin' was gonna get done

You'd decide where and when.

 

Just when you think you've got it down,

Your heart securely tied and bound,

They whisper promises in the dark.

 

Armed and ready you fought love battles in the night,

But too many opponents made you weary of the fight.

Blinded by passion you foolishly let someone in;

All the warnings went off in your head, still you had to give in.

 

Just when you think you've got it down,

Resistance nowhere to be found,

They whisper promises in the dark.

 

But promises, you know what they're for;

It sounds so convincing but you heard it before.

'Cause talk is cheap and you gotta be sure

So you put up your guard, and you try to be hard

But your heart says try again.

 

So you desperately search for a way to conquer the fear.

No line of attack has been planned to fight back the tears.

Where brave and restless dreams are both won and lost,

On the edge is where it seems it's well worth the cost.

 

Just when you think you've got it down,

Your heart in pieces on the ground,

They whisper promises in the dark.

The hills are alive,
With the sound of music
With songs they have sung
For a thousand years

The hills fill my heart,
With the sound of music
My heart wants to sing
Every song it hears

My heart wants to beat
Like the wings of the birds
That rise from the lake to the trees

My heart wants to sigh
Like a chime that flies
From a church on a breeze

To laugh like a brook
When it trips and falls
Over stones on its way
To sing through the night
Like a lark
Who is learning to pray

I go to the hills
When my heart is lonely
I know I will hear
What I've heard before
My heart will be blessed,
With the sound of music
And I'll sing once more.

[death tribble]

Edelweiss, Edelweiss
Every morning you greet me
Small and white, clean and bright
You look happy to meet me
Blossom of snow may you bloom and grow
Bloom and grow forever
Edelweiss, Edelweiss
Bless my homeland forever

 

Edelweiss, Edelweiss
Every morning you greet me
Small and white, clean and bright
You look happy to meet me
Blossom of snow may you bloom and grow
Bloom and grow forever
Edelweiss, Edelweiss
Bless my homeland forever

Ride, cowboy, ride
Don't ride too slow
Tucson's a mighty long way yet to go
He started his long ride in Prescott
The sun was a hundred or more
On down he rode at full gallop
Into the flat desert floor
Driving the big herd to Flagstaff
In Prescott the letter was there
Happiness soon would be sorrow
Sad news the letter did bear
Ride, cowboy, ride
Don't go too slow
Ride, cowboy, ride
You've a long way to go
Your darlin' now lies on her deathbed
Racked by fever and pain
Reaching for you at her bedside
At each breath she's callin' your name
Forward he leaned in the saddle
Pushing through mesquite and sage
His head never raised for a greeting
As he passed the Wickenburg stage
Ride, cowboy, ride
Don't ride too slow
Tucson's a mighty long way to go
In Phoenix he traded horses
Now on the back of this roan
He could see visions of Tucson
His darlin' and their lovely home
Ride, cowboy, ride
Don't ride too slow
There's still a hundred and twenty to go
In through the ranch gate he galloped
And without breaking his stride
He bounded out of the saddle
And rushed to his sweet darlin's side
Then as the dyin' girl saw him
A smile came over her face
Holding her hand as it tightened
Barely had he won the race
Ride, cowboy, ride
On through the blue
Ride, cowboy, ride
She'll be waiting for you
Ride, cowboy, ride
On through the blue
Ride, cowboy, ride
She'll be waiting for you

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favourite things

Cream coloured ponies and crisp apple strudels
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favourite things

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eye lashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favourite things

When the dog bites, when the bee stings, when I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favourite things and then I don't feel so bad.

Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favourite things

When the dog bites, when the bee stings, when I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favourite things and then I don't feel so bad.

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favourite things

When the dog bites, when the bee stings, when I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favourite things and then I don't feel so bad.

Climb every mountain,
Search high and low,
Follow every highway,
Every path you know.

Climb every mountain,
Ford every stream,
Follow every rainbow,
'Till you find your dream.

A dream that will need
All the love you can give,
Every day of your life
For as long as you live.

Climb every mountain,
Ford every stream,
Follow every rainbow,
Till you find your dream

A dream that will need
All the love you can give,
Every day of your life,
For as long as you live.

Climb every mountain,
Ford every stream,
Follow every rainbow,
Till you find your dream.

They call me a drifter, they say I'm no good
I´ll never amount to a thing
Well I may be a drifter and I may be no good
There's joy in this song that I sing.

 

Saddle tramp, saddle tramp
I'm as free as the breeze and I ride where I please
Saddle tramp, saddle tramp.
At night I will rest 'neath a blanket of blue

 

Doubt if I ever will change
I might even dream of a lady I knew
Might even whisper her name
Saddle tramp, saddle tramp

 

I'm as free as the breeze and I ride where I please
Saddle tramp.
I might even wind up in Idaho
And visit a cute little miss

 

A sweet little someone I used to know
And I might even stop long enough for a kiss.
Saddle tramp, saddle tramp
I'm as free as the breeze and I ride where I please

 

Saddle tramp, saddle tramp.
Might even ride back through Phoenix someday
Might even stop for awhile
But branded, no never! I´ll not be tied down

 

Trapped by a fair lady´s smile.
Saddle tramp, saddle tramp
I'm as free as the breeze and I ride where I please
Saddle tramp

There's a sad sort of clanging
From the clock in the hall
And the bells in the steeple, too
And up in the nursery
An absurd little bird
Is popping out to say coo-coo
(Coo-coo, coo-coo)

 

coo-coo Regretfully they tell us
coo-coo But firmly they compel us
coo-coo To say goodbye

 

To you

So long, farewell
Auf wiedersehen, goodnight

I hate to go and leave this pretty sight

So long, farewell
auf Wiedersehen, adieu

Adieu, adieu
To you and you and you

So long, farewell
Au revoir, auf Wiedersehen

I'd like to stay
And taste my first champagne
yes ?
no !

 

So long, farewell
auf Wiedersehen, goodbye

I leave and heave
A sigh and say goodbye
Goodbye

I'm glad to go
I cannot tell a lie

I flit, I float
I fleetly flee, I fly

The sun has gone
To bed and so must I

So long, farewell
auf Wiedersehen, goodbye

Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye

Rollin' rollin' rollin'
Rollin' rollin' rollin'
Rollin' rollin' rollin'
Rollin' rollin' rollin'
Rawhide

 

Keep rollin', rollin', rollin'
Though the streams are swollen
Keep them dogies rollin', rawhide
Through rain and wind and weather
Hell bent for leather
Wishin' my gal was by my side
All the things I'm missin'
Good vittles, love and kissin'
Are waiting at the end of my ride

 

Move 'em on, head 'em up
Head 'em up, move 'em on
Move 'em on, head 'em up, rawhide
Cut 'em out, ride 'em in
Ride 'em in, cut 'em out
Cut 'em out, ride 'em in, rawhide

 

Keep movin', movin', movin'
Though they're disapprovin'
Keep them dogies movin', rawhide
Don't try to understand 'em
Just rope 'em, throw, and brand 'em
Soon we'll be livin' high and wide
My heart's calculatin'
My true love will be waitin'
Be waitin' at the end of my ride

 

Move 'em on, head 'em up
Head 'em up, move 'em on
Move 'em on, head 'em up, rawhide
Cut 'em out, ride 'em in
Ride 'em in, cut 'em out
Cut 'em out, ride 'em in, rawhide

 

Rollin' rollin' rollin'
Rollin' rollin' rollin'
Rollin' rollin' rollin'
Rollin' rollin' rollin'

Little Joe the wrangler he'll wrangle never more
His days with the remuda they're all done
It was long about last April he rode into our camp
Just a little Texas stray and all alone
It was long late in the evening when he rode into our camp
On a little old brown pony he called Shaw
In his brogan shoes and coveralls a harder lookin' kid
You never in your life have seen before

 

His saddle was a Sother kack built many years ago
An OK spur on one foot idly hung
With his bed roll in a cotton sack was loosely tied behind
And a canteen from the saddle horn he'd slung
Said he had to leave his home because his paw had married twice
His new maw beat him every day or two
So he saddled up old Shaw one night and lit a shuck this way
Thought he'd try and paddle now his own canoe

 

Said he'd try to do the best he could if we'd only give him work
Though he didn't know straight up about a cow
So the boss he cut him out a mount and kinda put him on
And we knew he liked our little stray somehow
Well he taught him how to heard the horses and learned to know 'em all
And to get 'em in by daylight if he could
And to follow the chuck wagon and to always hitch the team
And to help the carsonaro rustle wood

 

We had driven to Red River and the weather it was fine
We were camped down on the south side of the bend
When a Norther started blowin' we called the extra guard
Cause it took all hands to hold the cattle in
Now little Joe the wrangler was called out like the rest
Barely had the kid got to the heard
When the cattle they stampeded like a hailstorm on they flew
With all of us a ridin' for the lead

 

Between the streaks of lightnin' we could see a horse ahead
It was little Joe the wrangler in the lead
He was riding old Blue Rocket with a slicker o'er his head
And he's trying to check the leaders in their speed.
We finally got'em millin' and they sort of quieted down
The extra guard back to the camp did go
But one of them was missing and we all knew at a glance
Twas our little Texas stray boy wrangler Joe

 

We found him there at sun up where old Blue Rocket fell
In some washout twenty feet below
Beneath his horse smashed to a pulp his spur had rung the knell
For our little Texas stray boy wrangler Joe
Little Joe the wrangler he'll wrangle never more
His days with the remuda they're all done
It was long about last April he rode into our camp
Just a little Texas stray and all alone

Bloody Mary is the girl I love.
Bloody Mary is the girl I love.
Bloody Mary is the girl I love.
Now ain't that too damn bad !

 

Her skin is tender as Dimaggio's glove.
Her skin is tender as Dimaggio's glove.
Her skin is tender as Dimaggio's glove.
Now ain't that too damn bad !

 

Bloody Mary's chewin' betel nuts.
She is always chewin' betel nuts.
Bloody Mary's chewin' betel nuts.
And she don't use Pepsodent !

Bloody Mary is the girl I love.
Bloody Mary is the girl I love.
Bloody Mary is the girl I love.
Now ain't that too damn bad !
Now ain't that too damn bad !

We got sunlight on the sand,
We got moonlight on the sea,
We got mangoes and bananas
You can pick right off the tree,
We got volleyball and ping-pong
And a lot of dandy games !
What ain't we got ?
We ain't got dames !

 

We get packages from home,
We get movies, we get shows,
We get speeches from our skipper
And advice from Tokyo Rose,
We get letters doused with perfume
We get dizzy from the smell !
What don't we get ?
You know darn well !

 

We have nothin' to put on a clean white suit for
What we need is what there ain't no substitute for...

There is nothin' like a dame,
Nothin' in the world,
There is nothin' you can name
That is anythin' like a dame !

 

We feel restless, we feel blue,
We feel lonely and in grief,
We feel ev'ry kind of feelin',
But the feelin' of relief
We feel hungry as the wolf felt
When he met Red Hiding-hood
What don't we feel ?
We don't feel good !

 

Lots of things in life are beautiful, but brother,
There is one particular thing that is nothin' whatsoever
In any way, shape or form like any other.

 

There is nothin' like a dame,
Nothin' in the world,
There is nothin' you can name
That is anythin' like a dame !

 

Nothin' else was built the same,
Nothin' in the world
As the soft and wavy frame
Like the silhouette of a dame !

 

There is absolutely nothin' like a frame of a dame.

 

So suppose that dame ain't bright
Or completely free from flaws,
Or as faithful as a bird dog,
Or as kind as Santa Claus,
It's a waste of time to worry
Over things that they have not,
Be thankful for the things they got !

 

There is nothin' you can name
That is anythin' like a dame !

 

There are no books like a dame,
And nothin' looks like a dame.
There are no drinks like a dame,
And nothin' thinks like a dame,
Nothin' acts like a dame,
Or attracts like a dame.
There ain't a thing that's wrong with any man here
That can't be cured by pullin' him near
A girly, womanly, female, feminine dame !

Happy talk
keep talkin' happy talk

Talk about things you'd like to do.
You gotta have a dream
if you don't have a dream
How you gonna have a dream come true ?
Talk about a moon floatin' in the sky

Lookin' like a lily on a lake;
Talk about a bird learnin' how to fly
Makin' all the music he can make.

Happy talk
keep talkin' happy talk

Let's talk about a star lookin' like a toy

Peekin' through the branches of a tree;
Talk about a girl
talk about a boy
Countin' all the ripples on the sea.

Happy talk
keep talkin' happy talk

Talk about a boy sayin' to the girl:
Golly, Baby ! I'm a lucky cuss!
Talk about a girl sayin' to the boy:
'You and me are lucky to be us !"

Happy talk
keep talkin' happy talk

If you don't talk happy and you never have a dream
Then you'll never have a dream come true !

Don't want your love anymore
Don't want your kisses, that's for sure
I die each time I hear this sound
Here he comes, that's Cathy's clown

 

I gotta stand tall
You know a man can't crawl
When he knows you're tellin' lies and he hears 'em passing by
He's not a man at all

 

Don't want your love anymore
Don't want your kisses, that's for sure
I die each time I hear this sound
Here he comes, that's Cathy's clown

 

When you see me shed a tear
And you know that it's sincere
Don't you think it's kinda sad that you're treating me so bad
Or don't you even care?

 

Don't want your love anymore
Don't want your kisses, that's for sure
I die each time I hear this sound
Here he comes, that's Cathy's clown

 

That's Cathy's clown
That's Cathy's clown

Do do - do do do do - do do - do do do do
Do do - do do do do

It was full steam ahead, destination unknown
I asked our position, the crew didn't know
They were all jiggin' up in the riggin'
'Cos the captain loves to rock and roll
Captain loves to rock and roll

I looked out to sea, there was no land in sight
The ship kept on sailin' right into the night
Ev'ryone cheerin' nobody steerin'
But we seemed to be doin' all right

Ev'rybody was dancin' with the captain
Ev'rybody was dancin' with the captain
Just look at them dancin' with the captain
Well, we all had fun the whole night long
And the ship sailed on - whoo oh yeah

Pretty soon the captain was out of control

He said "this is the place if you've got dissolved"
Keep on cruising, let's have the music
Your captain loves to rock and roll

Ev'rybody was dancin' with the captain
Ev'rybody was dancin' with the captain
Just look at them dancin' dancin' dancin' with the captain
Well, we all had fun the whole night long
And the ship sailed on 

Dancin' with the captain
Just look at them dancin' with the captain - whoo
Dancin' with the captain
Well, we all had fun the whole night long
And the ship sailed on 

Dancin' with the captain
Ev'rybody was dancin' with the captain
Just look at them dancin' dancin' dancin' with the captain
Ev'rybody was dancin' with the captaïn....

I brushed my bowler and I grabbed my cane
Eleven thirty I was on my way
The stars are shining bright
And I''m feeling just right for Grandma''s party tonight.
Across the city and I reach the spot
The snow was falling in the parking lot
Looks like the whole world''s here
For the night of the year
It''s Grandma''s party tonight.
I tell you everybody''s going to the party

 

Everybody''s going to the party
Everybody''s going to the party
It''s Grandma''s party tonight.
The bells are ringing and the captain''s here
Mister Sax is swinging from the chandelier
It''s almost twelve o''clock and we''re ready to rock
At Grandma''s party tonight.
I tell you everybody''s going to the party
. . .
Grandma''s party
it''s Grandma''s party

It''s Grandma''s party tonight.

We have the chance, to turn the pages over
We can write what we want to write
We gotta make ends meet before we get much older
We're all someone's daughter
We're all someone's son
How long can we look at each other
Down the barrel of a gun?

 

You're the voice, try and understand it
Make a noise and make it clear
Oh-wo-wo-wo, oh-wo-wo-wo
We're not gonna sit in silence
We're not gonna live with fear
Oh-wo-wo-wo, oh-wo-wo-wo

 

This time, we know we all can stand together
With the power to be powerful
Believing, we can make it better
We're all someone's daughter
We're all someone's son
How long can we look at each other
Down the barrel of a gun?

I'll remember forever, when I was but three,
Mama, who was clever remarking to me:
"If, son, when you're grown up, you want everything nice,
I've got your future sewn up if you take this advice:

 

Be a clown,
Be a clown,
All the world loves a clown
Act the fool, play the calf
And you'll always have the last laugh,
Wear the cap and the bells
And you'll rate with all the great swells,
If you become a doctor, folks'll face you with dread,
If you become a dentist, they'll be glad when you're dead,
You'll get a bigger hand if you can stand on your head.
Be a clown, be a clown, be a clown !

Be a clown,
Be a clown,
All the world loves a clown
Be a crazy buffoon
And the 'demoiselles'll all swoon,
Dress in huge baggy pants
And you'll ride the road to romance,
A butcher or a baker ladies never embrace,
A barber for a beau would be a social disgrace,
They all'll come to call if you can fall on your face.
Be a clown, be a clown, be a clown !
 

Be a clown,
Be a clown,
All the world loves a clown
Be the poor silly ass
And you'll always travel first class,
Give 'em quips, give 'em fun,
And they'll pay to say you're A-1,
If you become a farmer you've the weather to buck,
If you become a gambler, you'll be stuck with your luck
But jack you'll never lack if you can quack like a duck,
Be a clown, be a clown, be a clown !

Make 'em laugh
Make 'em laugh
Don't you know everyone wants to laugh ?
My dad said "Be an actor, my son, but be a comical one"
They'll be standing in lines for those old honky-tonk monkeyshines
You can study Shakspeare and be quite elite
You could charm the critics and have nothing to eat
Just slip on a banana peel, the world's at you feet
Make 'em laugh
Make 'em laugh
Make 'em laugh
Make--

 

Make 'em laugh
Don't you know everyone wants to laugh ?
My grandpa said "Go out and tell them a joke, but give it plenty of hoke"
Make 'em roar
Make 'em scream
Take a fall, butt a wall, split a seam
You could start by pretending your a dancer with grace
Then you wiggle 'till they're giggling all over the place
Then you get a great big custard pie in the face
Make 'em laugh
Make 'em laugh
Make 'em laugh

 

Make 'em--
What ?--
My Dad--
They'll be standing in lines for those old honky-tonk monkeyshines

 

Make 'em laugh
Make 'em laugh
Make 'em laugh
Make 'em laugh !

I am the very model of a shadowrunning samurai;
I've razorclaws and dermal plates and target-sensing cybereyes.
I know the gangs of Redmond and I ride a wizzer motorbike,
I'm very well acquainted with a fixer known as Magic Mike.

I may not hack the Matrix but I know just how to swing a blade,
In such a way to guarantee my target simply won't evade.
I understand unwritten rules of mercenary ettiquette... (ettiquette...)
Like splitting loot or stealing kills or how Yakuza settle bets!

I'm very good at cleaving skulls or stabbing things without a fuss,
or taking trophies from awakened critters animalculous...
In short you'll find no better suited member for your team than I,
For I'm the very model of a shadowrunning samurai!



I'll take the toughest missions, always eager to test out my skill,
No matter the opponent, I can register another kill.
I've made my reputation as a warrior decked out in chrome,
I've worked for folks named Johnson breaking in to the Tacoma Dome.

I'm stronger than a wendigo, with muscles cultured in a vat,
My lungs can filter toxins and I've not an ounce of body fat,
I'm swifter than a cheetah thanks to wired reflexology, (reflexology, hmm...)
I'll get your decker in and out of Renraku Arcology!

Then I can get the nuyen we were promised for the datasteal,
I'd celebrate but essence loss has left me unable to feel.
Don't bother even trying 'cause I'm never taken by surprise,
I am the very model of a shadowrunning samurai!



They never see me coming when I work to infiltrate a place,
I move so fraggin' swiftly that you'd swear I thought it was a race.
But if you see a cyber psycho coming at you like he's nuts,
You'll never even realize I've already sliced out your guts.

That's not to say that I don't have affinity for gunnery,
I've got a smartlink Ingram that I use for long-range funnery,
In short it doesn't matter if I'm using swords or pistolry (pistolry... aha!)
You'll say my quarry never even stood a chance in history!

So take me on your run because I'm plucky and adventury,
More talented than anyone you'll hope to meet this century,
If anyone says different then they're tellin' you a god damn lie,
'Cause I'm the very model of a shadowrunning samurai!
