Hey kids
shake it loose together
The spotlight's
hitting something
That's been known to
change the weather
We'll kill the fatted calf tonight
So stick around
You're gonna hear
electric music
Solid walls of sound
Say Candy and Ronnie
have you seen them yet
But they're so spaced out
Bennie and the Jets
Oh but they're weird and
they're wonderful
Oh Bennie she's really keen
She's got electric
boots a mohair suit
You know I read it in a magazine
Bennie and the Jets

Hey kids
plug into the faithless
Maybe they're blinded
But Bennie makes them ageless
We shall survive
let us take ourselves along
Where we fight our parents
out in the streets
To find who's right and
who's wrong
oh Candy and Ronnie
have you seen them yet
But they're so spaced out
Bennie and the Jets
Oh but they're weird and
they're wonderful
Oh Bennie she's really keen
She's got electric
boots a mohair suit
You know I read it in a magazine
Bennie and the Jets

You know I read it in a magazine

I used to be a rolling stone
You know
if the cause was right
I'd leave to find the
answer on the road
I used to be a heart beating
for someone
But the times have changed
The less I say the more
my work gets done
'cause I live and breathe
this philadelphia freedom
From the day that
I was born I've waved the flag
Philadelphia freedom took me
knee high to a man
Yeah gave me peace of mind
my daddy never had
Oh philadelphia freedom
shine on me
I love you
Shine a light through the
eyes of the ones left behind
Shine a light shine a light
Shine a light
won't you shine a light
Philadelphia freedom
I love you
yes I do

If you choose to
you can live your life alone
Some people choose the city
Some others choose the good
old family home
I like living easy
without family ties
Till the whippoor
will of freedom zapped me
Right between the eyes
'cause I live and breathe
this philadelphia freedom
From the day that
I was born I've waved the flag
Philadelphia freedom took me
knee high to a man
gave me peace of mind
my daddy never had
Oh philadelphia freedom
shine on me
I love you
Shine a light through the
eyes of the ones left behind
Shine a light shine a light
Shine a light
won't you shine a light
Philadelphia freedom
I love you
yes I do

Oh philadelphia freedom
shine on me
I love you
Shine a light through the
eyes of the ones left behind
Shine a light shine a light
Shine a light
won't you shine a light
Philadelphia freedom
I love you
you know I love you
you know I love you
yes I do
philadelphia freedom
I love you
yes I do
philadelphia freedom
know that I love you
yes I do
philadelphia freedom
don't you know that I love you
yes I do
philadelphia freedom
don't you know that I love you
yes I do

Daniel is travelling
tonight on a plane
I can see the red tail lights
heading for spain
Oh and I can see daniel
waving goodbye
God it looks like daniel
must be the clouds in my eyes

They say spain is pretty
though I've never been
Well daniel says
its the best place that
hes ever seen
Oh and he should know
he's been there enough
Lord I miss daniel
oh I miss him so much
oh Daniel my brother
you are older than me
Do you still feel the pain
of the scars that won't heal
Your eyes have died
but you see more than i
Daniel you're a star
in the face of the sky

She packed my bags
last night pre flight
Zero hour nine a m
And i'm gonna be high
as a kite by then

I miss the earth so much
i miss my wife
It's lonely out in space
On such a timeless flight

And i think it's gonna be a
long long time
Till touch down brings me
round again to find
I'm not the man they think
i am at home
Oh no no no
i'm a rocket man
Rocket man burning out
his fuse up here alone

And i think it's gonna be a
long long time
Till touch down brings me
round again to find
I'm not the man they think
i am at home
Oh no no no
i'm a rocket man
Rocket man burning out
his fuse up here alone

Mars ain't the kind of place
to raise your kids
In fact it's cold as hell
And there's no one there
to raise them if you did

And all this science
i don't understand
It's just my job five days a week
A rocket man
a rocket man

And i think it's gonna be a
long long time
Till touch down brings me
round again to find
I'm not the man they think
i am at home
Oh no no no
i'm a rocket man
Rocket man burning out
his fuse up here alone

And i think it's gonna be a
long long time
Till touch down brings me
round again to find
I'm not the man they think
i am at home
Oh no no no
i'm a rocket man
Rocket man burning out
his fuse up here alone
And i think it's gonna be a
long long time
And i think it's gonna be a
long long time
And i think it's gonna be a
long long time
And i think it's gonna be a
long long time
And i think it's gonna be a
long long time
And i think it's gonna be a
long long time
And i think it's gonna be a
long long time
And i think it's gonna be a
long long time

Don't wish it away
Don't look at it like its forever
Between you and me
I could honestly say
That things can
only get better
And while I'm away
Dust out the demons inside
And it won't be long before
you and me run
To the place in our hearts
where we hide

And I guess thats why
they call it the blues
Time on my hands could be
time spent with you
Laughing like children
living like lovers
Rolling like thunder
under the covers
And I guess thats why
they call it the blues

Just stare into space
Picture my face in your hands
Live for each second
without hesitation
And never forget I'm your man
Wait on me girl
Cry in the night if it helps
But more than ever
I simply love you
More than I love life itself
And I guess thats why
they call it the blues
Time on my hands could be
time spent with you
Laughing like children
living like lovers
Rolling like thunder
under the covers
And I guess thats why
they call it the blues

Wait on me girl
Cry in the night if it helps
But more than ever
I simply love you
More than I love life itself
And I guess thats why
they call it the blues
Time on my hands could be
time spent with you
Laughing like children
living like lovers
Rolling like thunder
under the covers
And I guess thats why
they call it the blues
Laughing like children
living like lovers
And I guess thats why
they call it the blues
Laughing like children
living like lovers
And I guess thats why
they call it the blues

And I guess thats why
they call it the blues

Blue jean baby
l a lady
seamstress for the band
Pretty eyed pirate smile
you'll marry a music man
Ballerina
you must seen her
dancing in the sand
And now she's in me
always with me
tiny dancer in my hand

Jesus freaks out in the street
Handing tickets out for god
Turning back she just laughs
The boulevard is not that bad
Piano man he makes his stand
In the auditorium
Looking on she sings the songs
The words she knows
the tune she hums

But oh how it feels so real
Lying here with no one near
Only you and you can hear me
When I say softly slowly
Hold me closer tiny dancer
Count the headlights
on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today
Hold me closer tiny dancer
Count the headlights
on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today

Blue jean baby

Hold me closer tiny dancer
Count the headlights

You had a busy day today

I can't light
no more of your darkness

All my pictures seem to
fade to black and white

I'm growing tired
and time stands still before me
Frozen here
on the ladder of my life

too late
to save myself from falling

I took a chance
and changed your way of life

But you misread my meaning
when I met you

Closed the door and left me
blinded by the light
Don't let the sun go down on me
Although I search myself
it's always someone else I see
I'd just allow a fragment
of your life to wander free

But losing everything is
like the sun going down on me

I can't find
Oh the right romantic line

But see me once
and see the way feel

Don't discard me
Just because you think
I mean you harm

But these cuts I have
oh they need love
to help them heal
don't let the sun go down on me
Although I search myself
it's always someone else I see
I'd just allow a fragment
of your life
to wander free

But losing everything is
like the sun going down on me

Don't let the sun
go down on me
Although I search myself
it's always someone else I see
I'd just allow a fragment of
your life to wander free
but losing everything is
like the sun going down on me

I want love
but its impossible
A man like me
so irresponsible
A man like me is dead in places
Other men feel liberated
I can't love
shot full of holes
Don't feel nothing
I just feel cold
Don't feel nothing
just old scars
Toughening up around my heart
But I want love
just a different kind
I want love
won't break me down
Won't brick me up
won't fence me in
I want a love
that don't mean a thing
Thats the love I want
I want love
I want love on my own terms
After everything
I've ever learned
Me I carry too much baggage
Oh man I've seen so much traffic
But I want love
just a different kind
I want love
won't break me down
Won't brick me up
won't fence me in
I want a love
that don't mean a thing
Thats the love I want
I want love
So bring it on
I've been bruised
Don't give me love
thats clean and smooth
I'm ready for the rougher stuff
No sweet romance
I've had enough

A man like me is dead in places
Other men feel liberated
But I want love
just a different kind
I want love
won't break me down
Won't brick me up
won't fence me in
I want a love
that don't mean a thing
Thats the love I want
I want love
I want love
just a different kind
I want love
won't break me down
Won't brick me up
won't fence me in
I want a love
that don't mean a thing
Thats the love I want
I want love

Goodbye norma jean
Though I never knew you at all
You had the grace
to hold yourself
While those around you crawled
They crawled out of
the woodwork
And they whispered
into your brain
They set you on the treadmill
And they made you
change your name
And it seems to me
you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
And I would have liked to
have known you
But I was just a kid
Your candle burned out
long before
Your legend never did

Loneliness was tough
The toughest role
you ever played
Hollywood created a superstar
And pain was the price you paid
Even when you died
Oh the press still hounded you
All the papers had to say
Was that marilyn was
found in the nude
And it seems to me
you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
And I would have liked to
have known you
But I was just a kid
Your candle burned out
long before
Your legend never did

Goodbye norma jean
Though I never knew you at all
You had the grace
to hold yourself
While those around you crawled
Goodbye norma jean
From the young man
in the 22nd row
Who sees you as something
as more than sexual
More than just our
marilyn monroe
And it seems to me
you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
And I would have liked to
have known you
But I was just a kid
Your candle burned out
long before
Your legend never did
Your candle burned out
long before
Your legend never did

I remember
when rock was young
Me and suzie had so much fun
Holding hands and
skimming stones
Had an old gold chevy
and a place of my own
But the biggest kick I ever got
Was doing a thing
called the crocodile rock
While the other kids were
rocking round the clock
We were hopping and
bopping to the crocodile rock
Well crocodile rocking
is something shocking
When your feet just
can't keep still
I never knew me a better time
and I guess I never will
Oh lawdy mama
those friday nights
When suzie wore her dresses tight
And the crocodile rocking
was out of sight

But the years went by
and the rock just died
Suzie went and left us
for some foreign guy
Long nights crying by
the record machine
Dreaming of my chevy
and my old blue jeans
But they'll never kill
the thrills weve got
Burning up to the crocodile rock
Learning fast as the
weeks went past
We really thought the
crocodile rock would last
Well crocodile rocking
is something shocking
When your feet just
can't keep still
I never knew me a better time
and I guess I never will
Oh lawdy mama
those friday nights
When suzie wore her dresses tight
And the crocodile rocking
was out of sight

I remember
when rock was young
Me and suzie had so much fun
Holding hands and
skimming stones
Had an old gold chevy
and a place of my own
But the biggest kick I ever got
Was doing a thing
called the crocodile rock
While the other kids were
rocking round the clock
We were hopping and
bopping to the crocodile rock
Well crocodile rocking
is something shocking
When your feet just
can't keep still
I never knew me a better time
and I guess I never will
Oh lawdy mama
those friday nights
When suzie wore her dresses tight
And the crocodile rocking
was out of sight

You could never know
what its like
Your blood like winter freezes
just like ice
And theres a cold lonely light
that shines from you
You'll wind up like the
wreck you hide behind
that mask you use
And did you think
this fool could never win
Well look at me
I'm coming back again
I got a taste of love
in a simple way
And if you need to know while
I'm still standing you
just fade away
Don't you know
I'm still standing better
than I ever did
Looking like a true survivor
feeling like a little kid
I'm still standing after
all this time
Picking up the pieces of
my life without you on my mind
I'm still standing
yeah yeah yeah
I'm still standing
yeah yeah yeah
Once I never could hope to win
You starting down the road
leaving me again
The threats you made
were meant to cut me down
And if our love was just a circus
you'd be a clown by now
I'm still standing better
than I ever did
Looking like a true survivor
feeling like a little kid
I'm still standing after
all this time
Picking up the pieces of
my life without you on my mind
I'm still standing
yeah yeah yeah
I'm still standing
yeah yeah yeah

I'm still standing better
than I ever did
Looking like a true survivor
feeling like a little kid
I'm still standing after
all this time
Picking up the pieces of
my life without you on my mind
I'm still standing
yeah yeah yeah
I'm still standing
yeah yeah yeah
I'm still standing
yeah yeah yeah
I'm still standing
yeah yeah yeah
I'm still standing
yeah yeah yeah
I'm still standing

It's getting late
have you seen my mates
Ma tell me when the
boys get here
It's seven o'clock and
i want to rock
Want to get a belly full of beer
My old man's drunker
than a barrel full of monkeys
And my old lady she don't care
My sister looks cute
in her braces and boots
A handful of grease in her hair
Don't give us none
of your aggravation
We had it with your discipline
Saturday night's alright
for fighting
Get a little action in
Get about as oiled
as a diesel train
Gonna set this dance alight
'cause saturday night's
the night i like
Saturday night's
alright alright alright

Well they're packed pretty tight
in here tonight
I'm looking for a dolly
who'll see me right
I may use a little muscle
to get what i need
I may sink a little drink and
shout out 'she's with me'
A couple of the sound
that i really like
Are the sounds of a
switchblade and a motorbike
I'm a juvenile product
of the working class
Whose best friend floats
in the bottom of a glass
Don't give us none
of your aggravation
We had it with your discipline
Saturday night's alright
for fighting
Get a little action in
Get about as oiled
as a diesel train
Gonna set this dance alight
'cause saturday night's
the night i like
Saturday night's
alright alright alright

Don't give us none
of your aggravation
We had it with your discipline
Saturday night's alright
for fighting
Get a little action in
Get about as oiled
as a diesel train
Gonna set this dance alight
'cause saturday night's
the night i like
Saturday night's
alright alright alright

Saturday Saturday Saturday
Saturday Saturday Saturday
Saturday Saturday Saturday
night's alright
Saturday Saturday Saturday
Saturday Saturday Saturday
Saturday Saturday Saturday
night's alright
Saturday Saturday Saturday
Saturday Saturday Saturday
Saturday Saturday Saturday
night's alright

It's a little bit funny
this feeling inside
I'm not one of those
who can easily hide
don't have much money
but boy if I did
I'd buy a big house where
we both could live
If I was a sculptor
but then again no
Or a man who makes potions
in a traveling show
I know its not much but
its the best I can do
My gift is my song and
this ones for you
And you can tell everybody
this is your song
It may be quite simple
but now that its done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind
that I put down in words
How wonderful life is
while you're in the world

I sat on the roof
and kicked off the moss
Well a few of the verses well
they've got me quite cross
But the suns been quite kind
while I wrote this song
Its for people like you that
keep it turned on
So excuse me forgetting
but these things I do
You see I've forgotten
if they're green
or they're blue
Anyway the thing is
what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes
I've ever seen
And you can tell everybody
this is your song
It may be quite simple
but now that its done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind
that I put down in words
How wonderful life is
while you're in the world
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind
that I put down in words
How wonderful life is
while you're in the world

What have I got to do
to make you love me
What have I got to do
to make you care
What do I do
when lightning strikes me
And I wake to find that
you're not there
What do I do
to make you want me
What have I got to do
to be heard
What do I say when its all over
And sorry seems to be
the hardest word
It's sad so sad
It's a sad sad situation
And it's getting
more and more absurd
It's sad so sad
Why can't we talk it over
Oh it seems to me
That sorry seems to be
the hardest word

It's sad so sad
It's a sad sad situation
And it's getting
more and more absurd
It's sad so sad
Why can't we talk it over
Oh it seems to me
That sorry seems to be
the hardest word
What do I do
to make you love me
What have I got to do
to be heard
What do I do
when lightning strikes me
What have I got to do
What have I got to do
When sorry seems
to be the hardest word

It's a human sign
When things go wrong
When the scent of her lingers
And temptation's strong
Into the boundary
Of each married man
Sweet deceit comes calling
And negativity lands
* Cold cold heart
Hard done by you
Some things look better baby
Just passing through
And it's no sacrifice
Just a simple word
It's two hearts living
In two separate worlds
But it's no sacrifice
No sacrifice
It's no sacrifice at all

Mutual misunderstanding
After the fact
Sensitivity builds a prison
In the final act
We lose direction
No stone unturned
No tears to damn you
When jealousy burns

Cold cold heart
Hard done by you
Some things look better baby
Just passing through
And it's no sacrifice
Just a simple word
It's two hearts living
In two separate worlds
But it's no sacrifice
No sacrifice
It's no sacrifice at all
Cold cold heart
Hard done by you
Some things look better baby
Just passing through
And it's no sacrifice
Just a simple word
It's two hearts living
In two separate worlds
But it's no sacrifice
No sacrifice
It's no sacrifice at all


It's no sacrifice at all.....

Elton John - Goodbye yellow brick road


When are you gonna come down
When are you going to land
I should have stayed on the farm
I should have listened my oid man

You know you can't hold me forever
I didn't sign up with you
I'm not a present for your friends to open
This boy's too young to be singing the blues

So goodbye yellow brick road
Where the dogs of society howl
You can't plant me in your penthouse
I'm going back to my plough

Back to the howling old owl in the woods
Hunting the horny back toad
Oh I've finally decided my future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road

What do you think you'll do then
I bet that'll shoot down your plane
It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics
To set you on your feet again

Maybe you'll get a replacement
There's plenty like me to be found
Mongrels whe ain't got a penny
Sniffing for tidbits like you
on the ground

So goodbye yellow brick road
Where the dogs of society howl
You can't plant me in your penthouse
I'm going back to my plough

Back to the howling old owl in the woods
Hunting the horny back toad
Oh I've finally decided my future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road

Nostradamus said I predict
That the world will end
at half past six
What he didn't say
was exactly when
Was he
listening to the radio
Was he
listening to the government
Well he got us spooked anyway
We'd been running hot
up until today
But a wind of change
blew across our sales
We were coasting on a
winning streak
We were kings until the
power failed
We've been
living in a tinderbox
And two sparks
can set the whole thing off
Rubbing up together
around the clock
Lately we've been
getting more roll than rock
You and me together
in a tinderbox tinderbox
Two sparks
can set the whole thing off
Rubbing up together
around the clock
Lately we've been
getting more roll than rock
You and me together
in a tinderbox

Godzilla came in disguise
Tore the building down
right before our eyes
Kept the needle
out of the red balloon
Was he worried
we might go too far
Maybe wind up
rhyming moon and June
The sun descends
down in Mexico
While a fancy car
back on Savile Row
Shows the price of fame
leads to overkill
Things are gonna
have to change
Some holes along
the road get filled
We've been
living in a tinderbox
And two sparks
can set the whole thing off
Rubbing up together
around the clock
Lately we've been
getting more roll than rock
You and me together
in a tinderbox tinderbox
Two sparks
can set the whole thing off
Rubbing up together
around the clock
Lately we've been
getting more roll than rock
You and me together
in a tinderbox
Pressure's gonna cook us
if we don't unlock it
Guns going off
if we don't uncock it
We've gotta climb out of the
other one's pocket
Or we're gonna burn out
on this beautiful rocket

Tinderbox
two sparks
can set the whole thing off
Rubbing up together
around the clock
Lately we've been
getting more roll than rock
You and me together
in a tinderbox tinderbox
Two sparks
can set the whole thing off
Rubbing up together
around the clock
Lately we've been
getting more roll than rock
You and me together
in a tinderbox

Catch a star if you can
Wish for something special
Let it be me
my love is free
Sing a song to yourself
Think of someone listening
One melody
you're all for me
I'll write a symphony
just for you and me
If you let me love you
I'll paint a masterpiece
Just for you to see
If you let me love you
let me love you
Are you ready
are you ready for love
Yes I am
Are you are you ready
are you ready for love
Yes I am
Are you are you ready
are you ready for love
You're the one like the sun
Shine your love around me
You'll always be
the one for me
Say the word and I'll be there
Loving you forever
Don't let me go
Just say it's so
We'll hear the music ring
from the mountain tops
To the valley below us
We'll serenade the world
With a lullaby
so the angels will know us
Angels will know us
Are you ready
are you ready for love
Yes I am
Are you are you ready
are you ready for love
Yes I am Yes I am
Yes I am Yes I am Yes I am
Are you ready
are you ready for love
Yes I am
Are you are you ready
are you ready for love
Yes I am
Are you are you ready
are you ready for love
Yes I am
Are you are you ready
are you ready for love
Yes I am
Are you are you ready
are you ready for love
Yes I am
Are you are you ready
are you ready for love

Don't go breaking my heart
I couldn't if I tried
Oh Honey if I get restless
Baby you're not that kind
Don't go breaking my heart
You take the weight off me
Oh Honey when you
knock on my door
I gave you my key
Ooh Nobody knows it
When I was down
I was your clown
Ooh Nobody knows it
Nobody knows it
Right from the start
I gave you my heart
Oh I gave you my heart
So don't go breaking my heart
I won't go breaking your heart
Don't go breaking my heart

And nobody told us
'Cause nobody showed us
And now it's up to us babe
Oh I think we can make it
So don't misunderstand me
You put the light in my life
Oh You put the
sparks to the flame
I've got your heart
in my sights
Ooh Nobody knows it
When I was down
I was your clown
Ooh Nobody knows it
Nobody knows it
Right from the start
I gave you my heart
Oh I gave you my heart
Don't go breaking my heart
I won't go breaking your heart
Don't go breaking my heart

Ooh Nobody knows it
When I was down
I was your clown
Right from the start
I gave you my heart
Oh I gave you my heart
Don't go breaking my heart
I won't go breaking your heart
Don't go breaking my
Don't go breaking my
Don't go breaking my heart
Don't go breaking my
Don't go breaking my
I won't go breaking your heart
Don't go breaking my heart
Don't go breaking my
I won't go breaking your heart
Don't go breaking my heart
Don't go breaking my
I won't go breaking your heart
Don't go breaking my heart
Don't go breaking my
I won't go breaking your heart
Don't go breaking my heart
Don't go breaking my
I won't go breaking your heart
Don't go breaking my heart
Don't go breaking my
I won't go breaking your heart
Don't go breaking my heart
Don't go breaking my
I won't go breaking your heart

Hey Nikita is it cold
In your little corner of the world
You could roll around the globe
And never find a warmer soul to know

Oh I saw you by the wall
Ten of your tin soldiers in a row
With eyes that looked like ice on fire
The human heart a captive in the snow

Oh Nikita You will never know anything about my home
I′ll never know how good it feels to hold you
Nikita I need you so
Oh Nikita is the other side of any given line in time
Counting ten tin soldiers in a row
Oh no, Nikita you′ll never know

Do you ever dream of me
Do you ever see the letters that I write
When you look up through the wire
Nikita do you count the stars at night

And if there comes a time
Guns and gates no longer hold you in
And if you′re free to make a choice
Just look towards the west and find a friend

Holy Moses I have been removed
I have seen the specter he has been here too
Distant cousin from down the line
Brand of people who ain't my kind Holy Moses
I have been removed Holy Moses
I have been deceived
Now the wind has changed direction and
I'll have to leave
Won't you please excuse my frankness
but it's not my cup of tea Holy Moses
I have been deceived
I'm going back to the border
Where my affairs, my affairs ain't abused
I can't take any more bad water
I've been poisoned from my head down to my shoes Holy Moses
I have been deceived Holy Moses let us live in peace
Let us strive to find a way to make all hatred cease
There's a man over there what's his color
I don't care He's my brother let us live in peace
He's my brother let us live in peace
He's my brother let us live in peace

Blue eyes
Baby's got blue eyes
Like a deep blue sea
On a blue blue day

Blue eyes
Baby's got blue eyes
When the morning comes
I'll be far away
And I say

Blue eyes holding back the tears
Holding back the pain
Baby's got blue eyes
And shes's alone again

Blue eyes
Baby's got blue eyes
Like a clear blue sky
Watching over me

Blue eyes
Ooh I love blue eyes
When I'm by her side
Where I long to be
I will see

Blue eyes laughing in the sun
Laughing in the rain
Baby's got blue eyes
And I am home again

Blue eyes laughing in the sun
Laughing in the rain
Baby's got blue eyes
And I am home again

Sad Songs (Say So Much)


Guess there are times
when we all need to share a little pain
And ironing out the rough spots
Is the hardest part when memories remain
And it's times like these
when we all need to hear the radio
`Cause from the lips of some old singer
We can share the troubles we already know
Turn them on, turn them on
Turn on those sad songs
When all hope is gone
Why don't you tune in and turn them on
They reach into your room
Just feel their gentle touch
When all hope is gone Sad songs say so much
If someone else is suffering enough to write it down
When every single word makes sense
Then it's easier to have those songs around
The kick inside is in the line
that finally gets to you
and it feels so good to hurt so bad
And suffer just enough to sing the blues Sad songs,
they say Sad songs,
they say Sad songs,
they say Sad songs,
they say so much

I found a black beret
on the street today
It was lying in the
gutter all torn
There's a white flag flying
on a tall building
But the kids
just watch the storm
Their dirty faces
pressed on the windows
Shattered glass
before their eyes
There's a mad dog barking
in a burned out subway
Where the sniper
sleeps at night
No birthday songs
to sing again
Just bricks and stones
to give them
Wrap them up
in your father's flags
And let them cry to heaven
No birthday songs
to sing again
Just bricks and stones
to give them
Wrap them up
in your father's flags
And let them cry to heaven
There are many graves
by a cold lake
As the beds were when
your babies are born
And your rag doll sits
with a permanent grin
But the kids
just watch the storm
I saw a black cat
tease a white mouse
Until he killed it
with his claws
Seems a lot of countries
do the same thing
Before they go to war
No birthday songs
to sing again
Just bricks and stones
to give them
Wrap them up
in your father's flags
And let them cry to heaven
Oh No birthday songs
to sing again
Just bricks and stones
to give them
Oh Wrap them up
in your father's flags
And let them cry to heaven
let them cry to heaven
let them cry to heaven
let them cry to heaven

From the day we arrive on the planet

And blinking, step into the sun
There's more to be seen than can ever be seen

More to do than can ever be done

Some say eat or be eaten

Some say live and let live
But all are agreed as they join the stampede
You should never take more than you give


(Chorus)

In the Circle of Life
It's the wheel of fortune

It's the leap of faith

It's the band of hope
Till we find our place

On the path unwinding

In the Circle, the Circle of Life

Some of us fall by the wayside

And some of us soar to the stars
And some of us sail through our troubles

And some have to live with the scars

There's far too much to take in here

More to find than can ever be found
But the sun rolling high

Through the sapphire sky
Keeps the great and small on the endless round


(Chorus repeats)


On the path unwinding

In the Circle, the Circle of Life

Remember Belgium
and the Brussels Museum
Where we piled on the
front steps
like stray cavaliers
Our code of living
meant little to others
The few francs we saved
bought some cheap souvenirs
But the red lights
where the catfights
make it just like Belgium
See us face down on the floor
of another cheap barroom
Streetwalkers sweet
talk you out of
your spare change
And your sweet madame
makes it seem
just like Belgium
just like Belgium

Just like a hustler
when they look attractive
oh It's nothing much more
than a slap on the back
The price tag of being
just a little bit different
The first rule to learn
is to keep your own distance
But the red lights
where the catfights
make it just like Belgium
See us face down on the floor
of another cheap barroom
Streetwalkers sweet
talk you out of
your spare change
And your sweet madame
makes it seem
just like Belgium
just like Belgium

But the red lights
where the catfights
make it just like Belgium
See us face down on the floor
of another cheap barroom
Streetwalkers sweet
talk you out of
your spare change
And your sweet madame
makes it seem
just like Belgium
just like Belgium
oh just like Belgium
oh just like Belgium
make it just like Belgium
oh just like Belgium

Turn me loose from your hands
Let me fly to distant lands
Over green fields, trees and mountains
Flowers and forest fountains
Home along the lanes of the skyway

For this dark and lonely room
Projects a shadow cast in gloom
And my eyes are mirrors
Of the world outside
Thinking of the way
That the wind can turn the tide
And these shadows turn
From purple into grey

For just a Skyline Pigeon
Dreaming of the open
Waiting for the day
He can spread his wings
And fly away again
Fly away skyline pigeon fly
Towards the dreams
You've left so very far behind

Just let me wake up in the morning
To the smell of new mown hay
To laugh and cry, to live and die
In the brightness of my day

I want to hear the pealing bells
Of distant churches sing
But most of all please free me
From this aching metal ring
And open out this cage towards the sun

There was a time I was everything
and nothing all in one When you
found me I was feeling like a cloud
across the sun I need to tell
you How you light up every second
of the day But in the moonlight You
just shine like a beacon on the bay And
I can't explain But it's something
about the way you look tonight Takes
my breath away It's that feeling
I get about you, deep inside And
I can't describe But it's something
about the way you look tonight Takes
my breath away The way you look
tonight With a smile You pull
the deepest secrets from my heart In
all honesty I'm speechless and I
don't know where to start
