[death tribble]

How long will I love you ?
As long as stars are above you
And longer, if I can.

How long will I need you ?
As long as the seasons need to
Follow their plan.

How long will I be with you ?
As long as the sea is bound to
Wash upon the sand.

How long will I want you ?
As long as you want me to
And longer by far.

How long will I hold you ?
As long as your father told you,
As long as you can.

How long will I give to you ?
As long as I live through you
However long you say.

How long will I love you ?
As long as stars are above you
And longer, if I may.

We're all traveling through time together
Every day of our lives.
All we can do is do our best
To relish this remarkable ride.

[death tribble]

Deep down in Louisiana close to New Orleans,
Way back up in the woods among the evergreens
There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood,
Where lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode
Who never ever learned to read or write so well,
But he could play a guitar just like a ringing a bell.

Go Go
Go, Johnny, go, go
Go, Johnny, go, go
Go, Johnny, go, go
Go, Johnny, go, go
Johnny B. Goode

He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
Or sit beneath the tree by the railroad track.
Oh, the engineers would see him sitting in the shade,
Strumming with the rhythm that the drivers made.
The people passing by, they would stop and say,
"Oh, my, but that little country boy could play !"

Go Go
Go, Johnny, go, go
Go, Johnny, go, go
Go, Johnny, go, go
Go, Johnny, go, go
Johnny B. Goode

His mother told him, "Someday you will be a man,
And you will be the leader of a big old band.
Many people coming from miles around
To hear you play your music when the sun go down.
Maybe someday your name will be in lights
Saying 'Johnny B. Goode tonight'."

Go Go
Go, Johnny, go, go
Go, Johnny, go, go
Go, Johnny, go, go
Go, Johnny, go, go
Johnny B. Goode

[death tribble]

I choose my friends only far too well
And I'm up on the pavement, they're all down in the cellar
With their government grants and my I.Q.
They brought me down to size, Academia Blues

 

Louise is a girl, I know her well
She's up on the pavement, yes, she's a weather girl
And I'm staying up here, so I may be undone
She's inappropriate, but then she's much more fun and

 

When she smiles my way
My eyes go out in vain
She's got perfect skin

 

Shame on you, you've got no sense of grace, shame on me
Ah, just in case, I might come to a conclusion
Other than that which is absolutely necessary
And that's perfect skin

 

Louise is the girl with the perfect skin

She says turn on the light, otherwise it can't be seen
She's got cheekbones like geometry and eyes like sin
And she's sexually enlightened by cosmopolitan and

 

When she smiles my way

My eyes go out in vain
For her perfect skin

Yeah, that's perfect skin

 

She takes me down to the basement to look at her slides
Of her family life, pretty weird at times
At the age of ten she looked like Greta Garbo
And I loved her then, but how was she to know that

 

When she smiles my way
My eyes go out in vain
She's got perfect skin

 

Up eight flights of stairs to her basement flat
Pretty confused huh, being shipped around like that
Seems we climbed so high, now we're down so low
Strikes me the moral of this song must be there never has been one

[death tribble]

Tick tock
Tick tock
Tick tock

 

I'm not disconnected
I'm not unaware
I'm in one place at one time
I'm neither here nor there

 

I'm hooked to the mainstream, tuned into the world
Plugged into my surroundings, it's not out on a limb
I'm thinking in a straight line, I'm thinking that these thoughts are mine
My heart is beating oh so fast, I feel the hours crashing

 

Now my mind keeps time like clockwork
And I think in sync like clockwork

 

Tick tock
Tick tock
Tick tock

 

She's done away with emotion
She sees things clearly now
She says she sees it all from her room
And it looks so small from her room

 

It's all right
(It's all right)
It's all right
(It's all right)
I'm on your side for a while
She thinks time is a concept by which we measure our age
She wants to say it again, but she don't have time

 

Because the mind keeps time like clockwork
And she think in sync like clockwork

 

Tick tock
Tick tock
Tick tock

 

Count the hours
Count the months and minutes
You're born in tears
And you die in pain and that's your limit

 

You're lookin' for some [incomprehensible] reasons but there's none
There, why don't you admit it
We'll make the most of what we've got, that's the ticket
My, my, my, my

 

I stayed in that room a long, long time
And watched the seasons gliding past
And hey what's the matter ?
We've got time, lots of time

 

It's all right
(It's all right)
It's all right
(It's all right)
I'm on your side for a while
We'll wind up, we'll slow down
We'll speed up, move around and we'll maybe overwind

 

Because my mind keeps time like clockwork
And I think in sync like clockwork

When my mind keeps time like clockwork
And we think in sync like clockwork

 

Tick tock
Tick tock
Tick tock

[death tribble]

Is it getting better
Or do you feel the same
Will it make it easier on you now
You got someone to blame
You say...

One love
One life
When it's one need
In the night
One love
We get to share it
Leaves you baby if you
Don't care for it

Did I disappoint you
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without
Well it's...

Too late
Tonight
To drag the past out into the light
We're one, but we're not the same
We get to
Carry each other
Carry each other
One...

Have you come here for forgiveness
Have you come to raise the dead
Have you come here to play Jesus
To the lepers in your head

Did I ask too much
More than a lot
You gave me nothing
Now it's all I got
We're one
But we're not the same
Well we
Hurt each other
Then we do it again
You say
Love is a temple
Love a higher law
Love is a temple
Love the higher law
You ask me to enter
But then you make me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what you got
When all you got is hurt

One love
One blood
One life
You got to do what you should
One life
With each other
Sisters
Brothers
One life
But we're not the same
We get to
Carry each other
Carry each other

One...life

One

[Cancer]

We starve, look at one another, short of breath

Walking proudly in our winter coats

Wearing smells from laboratories

Facing a dying nation of moving paper fantasy

Listening for the new told lies

With supreme visions of lonely tunes

 

Somewhere, inside something there is a rush of

Greatness, who knows what stands in front of

Our lives, I fashion my future on films in space

Silence tells me secretly

Everything

Everything

 

Manchester, England, England

Manchester, England, England

Across the Atlantic Sea

And I'm a genius, genius

I believe in God

And I believe that God believes in Claude

That's me, that's me, that's me

 

We starve, look at one another, short of breath

Walking proudly in our winter coats

Wearing smells from laboratories

Facing a dying nation of moving paper fantasy

Listening for the new told lies

With supreme visions of lonely tunes

 

Singing our space songs on a spider web sitar

Life is around you and in you

Answer for Timothy Leary, dearie

 

Let the sunshine, let the sunshine in

The sunshine in

Let the sunshine, let the sunshine in

The sunshine in

Let the sunshine, let the sunshine in

The sunshine in

 

Let the sunshine, let the sunshine in

The sunshine in

Let the sunshine, let the sunshine in

The sunshine in

Let the sunshine, let the sunshine in

The sunshine in

 

Let the sunshine, let the sunshine in

The sunshine in

Let the sunshine, let the sunshine in

The sunshine in

Let the sunshine, let the sunshine in

The sunshine in

[Clonus]

They're rioting in Africa

They're starving in Spain

There's hurricanes in Florida

And Texas needs rain

 

The whole world is festering with unhappy souls

The French hate the Germans and the Germans hate the Poles

Italians hate Yugoslavs, South Africans hate the Dutch

And I don't like anybody very much

 

But we can be thankful and tranquil and proud

For man's been endowed with the mushroom shaped cloud

So we know for certain that some lovely day

Something will set the spark off…and we will all be blown away

[Enforcer84]

Some people, they like to go out dancing

And other people, they gotta work. 

then there's even some evil mothers

they're gonna tell you that everything is just dirt

that, women, never really faint

And that villains always blink their eyes

And that, y'know, children are the only ones who blush

And that, life is, just to die

And, everyone who ever had a heart, oh

That wouldn't turn around and break it

And anyone who ever played a part, whoa

And wouldn't turn around and hate it

[Pariah]

Dancing bears, painted wings, 

Things I almost remember, 

And a song someone sings

Once upon a December.

 

Someone holds me safe and warm.

Horses prance through a silver storm.

Figures dancing gracefully

Across my memory... 

 

Someone holds me safe and warm.

Horses prance through a silver storm.

Figures dancing gracefully

Across my memory... 

 

Far away, long ago, 

Glowing dim as an ember, 

Things my heart used to know, 

Things it yearns to remember... 

 

And a song

Someone sings

Once upon a December

[Enforcer84]

Someone

Got themselves a letter

In the mail the other day

It's already worn and tattered

And I guess

It gives away

 

All the things we keep inside

All the things that really matter

The face puts on its best disguise

And all is well

Until the heart

Betrays

 

She knows

As she reads the letter

That things were bound to stray

Winds blow

She pulls her coat tighter

And the letter flies away

 

With all the things she keeps inside

All the things that really matter

The face puts on its best disguise

And all is well

Until the heart betrays

 

Lord bring on the night

Wrap it all around me

Let it hold me tight

Soak up all that I bleed

 

And I'll fly away

Yeah I'll fly away

Yeah I'll fly away

Watch me

 

Lord bring on the night

Wrap it all around me

Let it hold me tight

Soak up all that I bleed

 

I bleed

 

 

(my life needs a few fierce guitar crescendos)

[Pariah]

Oh the white folks hate the black folks,

And the black folks hate the white folks.

To hate all but the right folks

Is an old established rule.

 

But during National Brotherhood Week, National Brotherhood Week,

Lena Horne and Sheriff Clarke are dancing cheek to cheek.

It's fun to eulogize the people you despise,

As long as you don't let 'em in your schools.

 

Oh, the poor folks hate the rich folks,

And the rich folks hate the poor folks.

All of my folks hate all of your folks,

It's American as apple pie.

 

But during National Brotherhood Week, National Brotherhood Week,

New Yorkers love the Puerto Ricans 'cause it's very chic.

Step up and shake the hand of someone you can't stand.

You can tolerate him if you try.

 

Oh, the Protestants hate the Catholics,

And the Catholics hate the Protestants,

And the Hindus hate the Moslems,

And everybody hates the Jews.

 

But during National Brotherhood Week, National Brotherhood Week,

It's national everyone-smile-at-one-another-hood week.

Be nice to people who are inferior to you.

It's only for a week, so have no fear.

Be grateful that it doesn't last all year!

[Pariah]

Life hangs now before me,

Some faint and hollow dream.

Things I may remember,

And some I haven't seen.

 

Chivalry and valor,

Have gone the way of pride.

The tide is slowly turning,

And there's nowhere left to hide.

 

My thought turns to the common man,

The lights gone from their eyes.

Beneath their tattered robes,

They hide the pieces of their lives.

 

The time has changed from magic,

To a world of human ways.

An old magician wrings his hands,

And begs for yesterday.

 

Pull the knife out slowly Lord;

Let me join your alibi.

With Godliness on our side,

Surely we can't tell a lie.

 

Pull the knife out slowly Lord;

Let me revel in your pain.

The sacrifice of progress,

Will destroy all that remains...

 

The sounds that still remind me,

Of the voices of the past;

The wind that blows behind me,

And the shattering of glass.

 

The days are surely numbered,

And the hours growing long.

The echoes fade behind me,

Like some old forgotten song.

 

Pull the knife out slowly Lord;

Let me join your alibi.

With Godliness on our side,

Surely we can't tell a lie.

 

Pull the knife out slowly Lord;

Let me revel in your pain.

The sacrifice of progress,

Will destroy all that remains...

 

All that remains

And all that is now

And all that we were before

 

 

Days gone by forgotten,

In ageless books and plays.

The values of the ancients,

Elude us to this day.

 

A final word of warning,

From the ashes of the past.

What is put up in a hurry,

Can surely never last.

 

Pull the knife out slowly Lord;

Let me join your alibi.

With Godliness on our side,

Surely we can't tell a lie.

 

Pull the knife out slowly Lord;

Let me revel in your pain.

The sacrifice of progress,

Will destroy all that remains...

[Cygnia]

Hard rock hallelujah
The saints are crippled
On this sinners' night
Lost are the lambs
With no guiding light

The walls come down like thunder
The rocks about to roll
It's the Arockalypse
Now bare your soul

All we need is lightning
With power and might
Striking down the prophets of false
As the moon is rising
Give us the sign
Now let us rise up in awe

Rock 'n' roll angels bring thy hard rock hallelujah
Demons and angels all in one have arrived
Rock 'n' roll angels bring thy hard rock hallelujah
In God's creation supernatural high

The true believers thou shall be saved
Brothers and sisters keep strong in the faith
On the day of reckoning it's who dares, wins
You will see the jokers soon'll be the new kings

All we need is lightning
With power and might
Striking down the prophets of false
As the moon is rising
Give us the sign
Now let us rise up in awe

Rock 'n' roll angels bring thy hard rock hallelujah
Demons and angels all in one have arrived
Rock 'n' roll angels bring thy hard rock hallelujah
In God's creation supernatural high

Wings on my back
I got horns on my head
My fangs are sharp
And my eyes are red

Not quite an angel
Or the one that fell
Now choose to join us
Or go straight to Hell

Hard Rock Hallelujah
Rock 'n' roll angels bring thy hard rock hallelujah
Demons and angels all in one have arrived
Rock 'n' roll angels bring thy hard rock hallelujah
In God's creation supernatural high

[death tribble]

we're beginning to duplicate. I did Hard Rock Hallelujah a while back.

 

Round like a circle in a spiral, like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning on an ever-spinning reel
Like a snowball down a mountain, or a carnival balloon
Like a carousel that's turning running rings around the moon
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping past the minutes on its face
And the world is like an apple whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find in the windmills of your mind

Like a tunnel that you follow to a tunnel of its own
Down a hollow to a cavern where the sun has never shone
Like a door that keeps revolving in a half-forgotten dream
Like the ripples from a pebble someone tosses in a stream
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping past the minutes on its face
And the world is like an apple whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find in the windmills of your mind

Keys that jingle in your pocket, words that jangle in your head
Why did summer go so quickly ?
Was it something that you said ?
Lovers walk along a shore and leave their footprints in the sand
Was the sound of distant drumming Just the fingers of your hand ?

Pictures hanging in a hallway and the fragment of a song
Half-remembered names and faces, but to whom do they belong ?
When you knew that it was over were you suddenly aware
That the autumn leaves were turning to the colour of her hair !
Like a circle in a spiral, like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning on an ever-spinning reel
As the images unwind
Like the circles that you find in the windmills of your mind

[death tribble]

No New Year's Day to celebrate
No chocolate covered candy hearts to give away
No first of spring, no song to sing
In fact here's just another ordinary day

 

No April rain
No flowers bloom
No wedding Saturday within the month of June
But what it is, is something true

 

Made up of these three words that I must say to you

I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart

 

No summer's high
No warm July
No harvest moon to light one tender August night
No autumn breeze
No falling leaves
Not even time for birds to fly to southern skies

 

No Libra sun
No Halloween
No giving thanks to all the Christmas joy you bring
But what it is, though old so new
To fill your heart like no three words could ever do

 

I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care, I do
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart

 

I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care, I do
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart, of my heart, of my heart

[death tribble]

Right, right, turn off the lights
We're gonna lose our minds tonight
What's the deal, yo ?
I love when it's all too much
5 a.m. turn the radio up
Where's the rock 'n roll ?

Party crasher, panty snatcher
Call me up if you're a gangsta
Don't be fancy, just get dancy
Why so serious ?

So raise your glass if you are wrong
In all the right ways, all my underdogs
We will never be, never be anything but loud
And nitty, gritty, dirty, little freaks
Won't you come on and come on and
Raise your glass !
Just come on and come on and
Raise your glass !

Slam, slam, oh hot damn
What part of a party don't you understand ?
Wish you'd just freak out
(Freak out already)
Can't stop, coming in hot
I should be locked up right on the spot
It's so on right now
(It's so on right now)

Party crasher, panty snatcher
Call me up if you're a gangsta
Don't be fancy, just get dancy
Why so serious ?

So raise your glass if you are wrong
In all the right ways, all my underdogs
We will never be, never be anything but loud
And nitty, gritty, dirty, little freaks
Won't you come on and come on and
Raise your glass !
Just come on and come on and
Raise your glass !
Won't you come on and come on and
Raise your glass !
Just come on and come on and
Raise your glass !

Oh damn ! My glass is empty
That sucks !

So if you're too school for cool
(I mean)
And you're treated like a fool
(You're treated like a fool)
You can choose to let it go
We can always, we can always party on our own

So raise your (oh, damn)
So raise your glass if you are wrong
In all the right ways, all my underdogs
We will never be, never be anything but loud
And nitty, gritty, dirty, little freaks

(So raise your glass if you are wrong)
So raise your glass if you are wrong
In all the right ways, all my underdogs
We will never be, never be anything but loud
And nitty, gritty, dirty, little freaks
Won't you come on and come on and
Raise your glass !
Just come on and come on and
Raise your glass !
Won't you come on and come on and
Raise your glass for me !
Just come on and come on and
Raise your glass for me !
For me

It took a lost weekend in a hotel in Amsterdam
And double pneumonia in a single room
And the sickest joke was the price of the medicine
Are you laughing at me now may I please laugh along with you

This morning I woke up from a deep unquiet sleep
With ashtray clothes and miss lonelyheart's pen
With which I wrote for you a lovesong in tatoo
Upon my palm 'twas stolen from me when Jesus took my hand

You see I, I wouldn't say it if I didn't mean it
Drop me and I'll fall to pieces too easily

I was a king bee with a head full of attitude
Wore my heart on my sleeve like a stained
My aim was to taboo you
Could we meet in the marketplace
Did I ever hey please did you wound my knees

You see I, I wouldn't say it if I didn't mean it
Drop me and I'll fall to pieces

Yes it's too easy and there's nobody else to blame
Will I hang my head in a crying shame
There is nobody else to blame nobody else except my sweet self

Again it took a lost weekend in a hotel in Amsterdam
Twenty four gone years to conclude in tears
That the sickest joke was the price of the medicine
Are you laughing at me now
May I please laugh along

I was a king bee with a head full of attitude
And ashtray heart on my sleeve wounded knees
And my one love song was a tatoo upon my palm
You wrote upon me when you took my hand

You see I I wouldn't say it if I didn't mean it
Drop me and I'll fall to pieces too easily

[death tribble]

Boul ma sene, boul ma guiss madi re nga fokni mane
Khamouma li neka thi sama souf ak thi guinaw
Beugouma kouma khol oaldine yaw li neka si yaw
mo ne si man, li ne si mane moye dilene diapale

Roughneck and rudeness,
We should be using, on the ones who practice wicked charms
For the sword and the stone
Bad to the bone
Battle is not over
Even when it's won

 

And when a child is born into this world
It has no concept
Of the tone the skin is living in
It's not a second
7 seconds away
Just as long as I stay
I'll be waiting
It's not a second
7 seconds away
Just as long as I stay
I'll be waiting

I'll be waiting

I'll be waiting

 

J'assume les raisons qui nous poussent de changer tout,
J'aimerais qu'on oublie leur couleur pour qu'ils esperent
Beaucoup de sentiments de race qui font qu'ils desesperent
Je veux les portes grandements ouvertes,
Des amis pour parler de leur peine, de leur joie
Pour qu'ils leur filent des infos qui ne divisent pas
Changer

7 seconds away
Just as long as I stay
I'll be waiting
It's not a second
7 seconds away
Just as long as I stay
I'll be waiting

I'll be waiting

I'll be waiting

 

 

And when a child is born into this world
It has no concept
Of the tone the skin is living in

 

And there's a million voices
And there's a million voices
To tell you what she should be thinking
So you better sober up for just a second

 

7 seconds away
Just as long as I stay
I'll be waiting
It's not a second
7 seconds away
Just as long as I stay
I'll be waiting
It's not a second
7 seconds away
Just as long as I stay
I'll be waiting

[death tribble]

Better stop dreaming of the quiet life
'Cos it's the one we'll never know
And quit running for that runaway bus
'Cos those rosey days are few
And...stop apologising for the things you've never done
'Cos time is short and life is cruel
But it's up to us to change
This town called Malice

Rows and rows of disused milk floats
Stand dying in the dairy yard
And a hundred lonely housewives
Clutch empty milk bottles to their hearts
Hanging out their old love letters on the line to dry
It's enough to make you stop believing
When tears come fast and furious
In a town called Malice

Struggle after struggle, year after year
The atmosphere's a fine blend of ice
I'm almost stone cold dead
In a town called Malice

A whole street's belief in Sunday's roast beef
Gets dashed against the co-op
To either cut down on beer or the kids' new gear
It's a big decision in a town called Malice

The ghost of a steam train echoes down my track
It's at the moment bound for nowhere
Just going 'round and 'round
Playground kids and creaking swings
Lost laughter in the breeze
I could go on for hours and I probably will
But I'd sooner put some joy back
In this town called Malice

[death tribble]

(Dum-dumb-dummy doo-wah, ooh yay, yay, yay, yeah)
(Oh, oh oh oh oh ooh-ah-ah, only the lonely, only the lonely)

Only the lonely (Dum-dumb-dummy doo-wah)
Know the way I feel tonight (Ooh yay, yay, yay, yeah)
Only the lonely (Dum-dumb-dummy doo-wah)
Know this feeling ain't right (Dum-dumb-dummy doo-wah)

There goes my baby, there goes my heart
They're gone forever, so far apart
But only the lonely know wh-why-why I cry, only the lonely
(Dum-dumb-dummy doo-wah, ooh yay, yay, yay, yeah)
(Oh, oh oh oh oh ooh-ah-ah, only the lonely, only the lonely)

Only the lonely (Dum-dumb-dummy doo-wah)
Know the heartaches I've been through (Ooh yay, yay, yay, yeah
Only the lonely (Dum-dumb-dummy doo-wah)
Know I cry and cry for you (Dum-dumb-dummy doo-wah)

Maybe tomorrow a new romance
No-o-o more sorrow, but that's the chance
You've got to take, if your lonely heart breaks
Only the lonely (Dum-dumb-dummy doo-wah)

Don't come around here no more
Don't come around here no more
Whatever you're looking for
Hey ! Don't come around here no more

I've given up. I've given up
I've given up on waiting any longer
I've given up, on this love getting stronger

I don't feel you anymore
You darken my door
Whatever you're looking for
Hey, don't come around here no more

I've given up. I've given up
I've given up, you tangle my emotions
I've given up, honey please admit it's over

Don't come around here no more
Don't come around here no more
Whatever you're looking for
Hey, don't come around here no more
Stop walking down my street
Who did you expect to meet ?
Whatever you're looking for
Hey, don't come around here no more

[Cygnia]

The restless wind has seen all things in every kind of light
Rising with the full moon to go howling through the night
The sleepless wind has heard all things between the sea and sky
In the canyons of the city you can hear the buildings cry

Oh, the wind can carry all the voices of the sea
Oh, the wind can carry all the echoes home to me
Oh, the wind can carry all the voices of the sea
Oh, the wind can carry all the echoes home to me

Run with wind and weather to the music of the sea
All four winds together can't bring the world to me
Chase the wind around the world, I want to look at life
In the available light

Play of light, a photograph, the way I used to be
Some half forgotten stranger doesn't mean that much to me
Trick of light, moving picture, moments caught in flight
Make the shadows darker or the colors shine too bright

Oh, the light can carry all the visions of the sea
Oh, the light can carry all the images to me

Run to light from shadow, sun gives me no rest
Promise offered in the east, broken in the west
Chase the sun around the world, I want to look at life
In the available light

Oh, the wind can carry all the voices of the sea
Oh, the wind can carry all the echoes home to me

All four winds together can't bring the world to me
Shadows hide the play of light, so much I want to see
Chase the light around the world, I want to look at life
In the available light

I'll go with the wind, oh, the wind can carry
I'll stand in the light, oh, the wind can carry
I'll go with the wind, oh, the wind can carry
I'll stand in the light, oh, the wind can carry
I'll go with the wind, oh, the wind can carry
I'll stand in the light

[death tribble]

Isn't it rich ?
Are we a pair ?
Me here at last on the ground,
You in mid-air.
Send in the clowns.

Isn't it bliss ?
Don't you approve ?
One who keeps tearing around,
One who can't move.
Where are the clowns ?
Send in the clowns.

Just when I'd stopped opening doors,
Finally knowing the one that I wanted was yours,
Making my entrance again with my usual flair,
Sure of my lines,
No one is there.

Don't you love farce ?
My fault I fear.
I thought that you'd want what I want.
Sorry, my dear.
But where are the clowns ?
Quick, send in the clowns.
Don't bother, they're here.

Isn't it rich ?
Isn't it queer,
Losing my timing this late
In my career ?
And where are the clowns ?
There ought to be clowns.
Well, maybe next year

[death tribble]

Oh what a circus ! Oh what a show !
Argentina has gone to town
Over the death of an actress called Eva Peron
We've all gone crazy
Mourning all day and mourning all night
Falling over ourselves to get all, of the misery right

Oh what an exit ! That's how to go !
When they're ringing your curtain down
Demand to be buried like Eva Peron
It's quite a sunset
And good for the country in a roundabout way
We've made the front pages of all, the world's papers today

But who is this Santa Evita ?
Why all this howling hysterical sorrow ?
What kind of goddess has lived among us ?
How will we ever get by without her ?

She had her moments--she had some style
The best show in town was the crowd
Outside the Casa Rosada crying, "Eva Peron"
But that's all gone now
As soon as the smoke from the funeral clears
We're all gonna see and howl, she did nothing for years !

Salve regina mater misericordiae
Vita dulcedo et spes nostra
Salve salve regina
Ad te clamamus exules filii Eva
Ad te suspiramus gementes et flentes
O clemens o pia

You let down your people Evita
You were supposed to have been immortal
That's all they wanted
Not much to ask for
But in the end you could not deliver

Salve regina mater misericordiae
Vita dulcedo et spes nostra
Salve salve regina Peron
Ad te clamamus exules filii Eva
Ad te suspiramus gementes et flentes
O clemens o pia

Time, time, time
See what's become of me

Time, time, time
See what's become of me
While I looked around
For my possibilities

I was so hard to please

Look around
Leaves are brown
And the sky
Is a hazy shade of winter

Hear the salvation army band
Down by the riverside
It's bound to be a better ride
Than what you've got planned

Carry a cup in your hand

Look around
Leaves are brown
And the sky
Is a hazy shade of winter

Hang on to your hopes my friend
That's an easy thing to say
But if your hopes should pass away
Simply pretend

That you can build them again

Look around
Grass is high
Fields are ripe
It's the springtime of my life

Seasons change with the scenery
Weaving time in a tapestry
Won't you stop and remember me?

Look around
Leaves are brown
And the sky
Is a hazy shade of winter

Look around
Leaves are brown
There's a patch of snow
On the ground

Look around
Leaves are brown
There's a patch of snow
On the ground

Look around
Leaves are brown
There's a patch of snow
On the ground
