WHEN MY BOY WALKS DOWN THE STREET


Grand pianos crash together when my boy walks down the street
There are whole new kinds of weather when he walks with his new beat
Everyone sings hallelujah when my boy walks down the street
Life just kind of dances through ya from your smile down to your feet
Amazing he's a whole new form of life
Blue eyes blazing and he's going to be my wife
The world does the hula-hula when my boy walks down the street
Everyone thinks he's Petula so big and yet so petite
Butterflies turn into people when my boy walks down the street
Maybe he should be illegal he just makes life too complete...
Amazing he's a whole new form of life
Blue eyes blazing and he's going to be my wife
Oh, shadows of echoes of memories
Oh, things that he brings that he found in the sea
Oh, shadows of echoes of memories of songs
Oh, how could he know that it won't be long...
Grand pianos crash together when my boy walks down the street
There are whole new kinds of weather when he walks with his new beat
Everyone sings hallelujah when my boy walks down the street
Life just kind of dances through ya from your smile down to your feet

WHEN THE OPEN ROAD IS CLOSING IN


Time - measured in dotted yellow lines that pass you by
and I never said an honest thing to you in all my life
hard times go slowly and the good times never come
the world is a motor and in a mile I'll be stuck
when the open road is closing in
and you can't say where it ends and you begin
when every truckstop dive's another five years off your
life
when the open road is closing in
and the dotted yellow lines begin to spin
and the sky begins to fall on every thing you like at all
you won't be coming home again

Ciao - you keep on grounding in the roads between the
towns
now I have been closing all the shutters in the house
I know you'll be back when every tree is turning brown
you'll find the house is empty and the swingset fallen
down
when the open road is closing in
and you can't say where it ends and you begin
when every truckstop dive's another five years off your
life
when the open road is closing in
and the dotted yellow lines begin to spin
and the sky begins to fall on every thing you like at all
you won't be coming home again

WHEN YOU WERE MY BABY


We walked alone in the rain and lightning
When you were my baby
So much in love it was almost frightening
When you were my baby
Everybody called you a fool
When you wouldn't play by the rules
Everybody was wrong. Oahu.
There was nowhere to run away to
When you were my baby
Everybody began to hate you
When you were my baby
Time wasn't on our side
Me and my foolish pride
Then I said goodbye. Oahu.
Now you've gone away and left me on my own
Now I'm walking down the highway all alone
On a rainy night and crying out my eyes
We were young, yeah, but old enough to...
When you were my baby
And I just couldn't help but love you
When you were my baby
Just the way you wore your hair
And the way you just didn't care
And the wayyou danced do do do, etc.
When you were my baby

WHEN YOU'RE OLD AND LONELY


When you're old and lonely
You will wish you'd married me
I could build a fire for you
And bring you cakes and tea
When you're cold and hungry
I'll be waiting by the phone
You can call me up and
Tell me how you're all alone...
All alone...
When you're old and lonely
And the rush of life is past
Days go by too slowly and
The years go by too fast
When your golden loneliness is
Heavier than stone
You can call me up and say
"My God, I'm all alone...
All alone..."

WHY I CRY


All the summer days
Where we used to play
Walking hand in hand
Castles in the sand
(C): So you said goodnight
But you meant goodbye
Now our love has died
This is why I cry
From the madding crowd
Pointing up at clouds
Summer turned to fall
Pictures on the wall
(C) (C)

WI' NAE WEE BAIRN YE'LL ME BEGET


Wi' nae wee bairn ye'll me beget Untwinkle, little ee
My ainly pang'll be regret. A maiden I will dee

but ill turn into a nightengale and song will warm my heart
well ill turn nto a threshing machine and tear that bird apart

Wi' nae wee bairn ye'll me beget Untwinkle, little ee
My ainly pang'll be regret. A maiden I will dee

but ill turn into a vampire in case you own a neck
well ill turn into a silver cross and send me back to heck

Wi' nae wee bairn ye'll me beget Untwinkle, little ee
My ainly pang'll be regret. A maiden I will dee

but ill turn into a hydrogen bomb and atomize the air
well ill turn into a cockroack and youll see if i care

Wi' nae wee bairn ye'll me beget Untwinkle, little ee
My ainly pang'll be regret. A maiden I will dee

but ill turn into a super nova and burn up everything
well ill turn into a black little hole and youll turn into string

Wi' nae wee bairn ye'll me beget Untwinkle, little ee
My ainly pang'll be regret. A maiden I will dee

but ill turn into GOD himself and you will come to me
then i will not believe in you and then where will you be?

Wi' nae wee bairn ye'll me beget Untwinkle, little ee
My ainly pang'll be regret. A maiden I will dee

My ainly pang'll be regret. A maiden I will dee

WITH WHOM TO DANCE


Moons in June I've given up on that stuff
Arms have charms but I've no hope of falling in love

The rest of life pales in significance

I'm looking for somebody with whom to dance
With whom to dance? With whom to dance?
I'm looking for somebody with whom to dance.

Rings and strings What use have I for these things?
Bells and carousels I'd just be fooling myself.

And you You look like heaven

An angel who stepped from a dream
777 times lovelier than anything I've ever seen.

WORLD LOVE


When the rhythm calls the government falls Here come the cops
From Tokyo to Soweto viva la musica pop We are black & white
and we dance all night down at the hop and the letters were tall
on the Berlin Wall viva la musica pop so if you're feeling low
stuck in some bardo I, even I know the solution
love, music, wine and revolution love, love, love music, wine and revolution
This too shall pass so raise your glass to change and chance
and freedom is the only law shall we dance...

XAVIER SAYS


Xavier says "Ha ha ha,
we have nothing in common
See you round
Ta-ta
Slink back to your abominable lover, Zsa-Zsa
before I blow your cover,
tra-lala"

Zsa-Zsa's scene:
"Tacky queen,
you think there's no one but you
Get your crass little ass out
and don't make me cut you
With how much you
talk you'd think
that someone else was listening
Want a drink, Miss Thing?"
"Slow gin fizz," says Xavier
Zsa-Zsa orders, and drinks come
"Here it is, teddy bear"
"To your health, you ratfink scum,"
Xavier wheezes
I forgot:
Before each line he sneezes
quite a lot.
