Mamouna


So you say
You're living just for fun
Isn't it enough?
So you say
You wait o will it come
Isn't it enough?
You're a prisoner of loving
You're chained and bound
I could never be the one
In the moonlight and the sun
O Mamouna Mamouna run
You and me
We're just like night and day
The here and now
The ghost of yesterday
Hack and tear
We're prisoners of loving
We're chained and bound
There's a road I've got to take
A thread you got to break
O Mamouna Mamouna run

   

Miss Otis Regrets


(Cole Porter)

Miss Otis regrets, she's unable to lunch today, madam,
Miss Otis regrets, she's unable to lunch today.
She is sorry to be delayed,
but last evening down in Lover's Lane she strayed, madam,
Miss Otis regrets, she's unable to lunch today.
When she woke up and found that her dream of love was gone, madam,
She ran to the man who had led her so far astray,
And from under her velvet gown,
She drew a gun and shot her lover down, madam,
Miss Otis regrets, she's unable to lunch today.
When the mob came and got her and dragged her from the jail, madam,
They strung her upon the old willow across the way,
And the moment before she died,
She lifted up her lovely head and cried, madam......
Miss Otis regrets, she's unable to lunch today

N.Y.C.

(Ferry)

Hey there mister
Let me tell ya
I got something here
Gonna blow your mind
The way that it is
There´s no turning back
They can burn it out of your blood
Never out of your mind
No way out of this place
My neighbourhood
House and garden topiary
Just like Hollywood
On the mainline to Harlem
You want to live
Desmona waiting for ya
Somethin´s gotta give

   

New Town


(Ferry)

New town
There´s a place
A mad affair
In a new world
Heaven send
A life that´s made for us
Out of luck
Out of touch
Out of love
No concrete jungle
Dancing feet
Cul-de-sac of desire
Is in itself
Destroying me
I´ve got to live down
Don´t want to dwell in history
That´s why I´m leaving now
New town
There´s a place
To do or die
In a new world
Heaven sent
A life that´s made for us
Out of luck
out of touch
Out of love
No laughing boys
Forbidden dreams
No willow weep
For me now
The shadow hanging over me
I´ve got to tear it down
New town - calling me

One Kiss


(Ferry)

Now is the moment
Here is the place
And soon's the time to go
Seeing's believin'
Or so he thought once
Now he's not so sure
One kiss - one for the road - what is more?
One kiss - roughly expressing all that lips are for
Where do they come from?
Doesn't she speak?
Where can they co from here?
Forever or never
Or once in a while
Their situation's clear
One kiss - never too late to miss
One too many a broken-up affair - like this
Spinning together
Drifting away
The song of love is strange
A never ending
"See you soon"
Too late - the music changed
One kiss - what kind of end is this?
One more touching impression - one lost love - one kiss
Just as he's trying
To open the door
He fumbles with the key
Clumsily playing for time
Without words
Some things you can only feel
One kiss - lost in shade
One tear - ever so slowly falling left to fade

Party Doll


(Ferry)

When the world outside of you
Seems to weigh too much for you
Then draw within' yourself
For there is no-one else
Well it's a sin
What I'm sayin'
But it's truth
Black and blue has turned to grey
Real life pictures gone astray
But don't give in
Imagination rules again
It's a sin
What I'm sayin'
But it's the truth
Party doll
Oh how you turn me on
Now the day's for sleepin'
For I'll be leapin' all night long
Party doll
Without you I can't go on
Now the way I'm figurin'
You'll be Leda
And I'll be Swann........
It's a sin
What I'm sayin'
But it's truth
And if our secret love
Is haunting you -
No-one can hold me
Like you used to do........
Party doll - what's your game?
Do you move, or entertain
What people say
When it don't mean a thing
It's a sin
Heads they lose
Tails you win
Party doll - I must confess
This wishin' well of loneliness
Has dragged you down
I'll wind you up - let's twist again
It's a skin
Skin to skin
Amen

   

Piece of My Heart


(Berns,Ragovoy)

Didn't I make you feel like you are the only one?
Didn't I give you everything that I possibly can?
But with all the love I give you it's never enough
But I'm gonna show you, baby, that I really can be tough
So come on, come on, come on, come on, take it
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby
Break another little bit of my heart now, honey
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby
You know you got it if makes you feel good
You're out on the streets looking good
And you know deep down in your heart that it ain't right
You never, never hear me when I cry at night
I tell myself that I can't stand the pain
But when I hold you in my arms, I'll say it again
So come on, come on, come on, come on take it
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby
Break another little bit of my heart now, honey
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby
You know you got it if makes you feel good

Positively 4th Street


You got a lotta nerve
To say you are my friend
When I was down
You just stood there grinning

You got a lotta nerve
To say you got a hand to lend
You just want to be on
The side that's winning

You say I let you down
You know it's not like that
If you're so hurt
Why then don't you show it

You say you lost your faith
But that's not where it's at
You had no faith to lose
And you know it


I know the reason
That you talk behind my back
I used to be among the crowd
You're in with

Do you take me for such a fool
To think I'd make contact
With the one who tries to hide
What he don't know to begin with

I wish that for just one time
You could stand inside my shoes
And just for that one moment
I could be you

Yes, I wish that for just one time
You could stand inside my shoes
You'd know what a drag it is
To see you

Price of Love


(D.& P. Everly)

Wine is sweet and gin is bitter
Drink all you can but you won't forget her
You talk too much, you laugh too loud
You see her face in ev'ry crowd
That's the price of love, the price of love
A debt you pay with tears and pain
The price of love, the price of love
It costs you more when you're to blame
Kiss one girl - kiss another
Kiss them all, but you won't recover
You're dancing slow, you're dancing fast
You're happy now, but that won't last
That's the price of love, the price of love
A debt you pay in tears and pain
The price of love, the price of love
It costs you more when you're to blame

   

Re-Make/Re-Model


(Ferry)

I tried but I could not find a way
Looking back all I did was look away
Next time is the best we all know
But if there is no next time where to go?
She´s the sweetest queen I´ve ever seen (CPL593H)
See here she comes, see what I mean? (CPL593H)
I could talk talk talk, talk myself to death
But I believe I would only waste my breath
Ooh show me
