Parlez Vous
03:42

|
I don’t even know your name, will I ever be the same
As I trace your steps, along old streets and down the silent lanes
Days turned into nights, oh the nights turned into days
Lost in you, lost in love, in that quiet French cafe
Parlez vous
Parlez vous
I love you
Oh the Empty streets have turned to stone
Shutters closed, flowers gone
One by one leaves have fallen, come back thief my heart you’ve stolen
The softness of your lips, as you touched my finger tips
As I sit here all alone, all at sea, lost in you loving me
Parlez vous
Parlez vous
I love you
Were you just an apparition in that quiet French Café?
Was it in your plan, when you held my hand to make me want to stay?
Parlez vous
Parlez vous
I love you
Oh the gypsy vendors have no wares, lonely tables, lonely chairs
The sky has turned the dullest grey
Music stopped, birds flown away
I’ll post this note on our cafe door
Look for you forever more
One by one the leaves have fallen, come back thief my heart you’ve stolen
Parlez vous
Parlez vous
I love you
Parlez vous
Parlez vous
I love you
Parlez vous
Parlez vous
I love you

Wondering Why
04:05
|
|||
|
Sitting here on the windowsill, watching the world go by
Fate did a u-turn, oh I’m wondering why
Turn off the moon and the sun, put out the stars one by one
Leave me to view, the lonely memory of you
A caravan of thinking, won’t ever change the news,
Fate did a u turn, nothing that I can do
You left without a kiss, now it’s your lips and your kiss I miss
All I can do, is dance in the shadow of you
Stop the clock, shut down the phone,
Dim the lights leave me alone
Nothing left to do, but to dance in the shadow of you
The sound of the city, goes on outside
Silence the living, leave me to cry
Burn the bridges, de-rail the trains
Close the roads and ground the planes
Leave me to be, alone in this tragedy
A caravan of thinking, won’t ever change the news,
Fate did a u turn, nothing that I can do
You left without a kiss, now it’s your lips and your kiss I miss
All I can do, is dance in the shadow of you

Pan Am Girl

Pan Am Girl come fly with me
I’ll meet you 50 thousand feet above the sea
As I sit here and watch your show,
Oh help me please where does my seatbelt go?
The way you pour those drinks, you sexy foxy minx
In row 30 D, that’s where you’ll find me,
My Pan Am Girl just you and me
We’ll fly the world just wait and see
Pan Am Girl come fly with me
Pan Am Girl the only way to fly
In your care I’m such a lucky guy
Beneath the moon and starry constellation
Let’s make love our only destination
In your hat and coat above the clouds we’ll float
Are we in heaven on this 747
My Pan Am Girl just you and me
We’ll fly the world just wait and see
Pan Am Girl come fly with me

Peoney Blue

Peony Blue put my heart in danger, stranger.
Beautiful you, put your self away.
You make me fumble with fear every time you walk near.
So won’t you please go away?
Peony Blue put my heart in danger, stranger.
Beautiful you, put your self away.
Punch drunk in love, heart break in bloom
Oh won’t you please stay on the other side of the room.
Peony Blue put my heart in spring time big time
Beautiful you put your self away
You make me bashful and shy every time you walk by
Won’t you please stay away?
Peony Blue put my heart in danger stranger
Beautiful you, put yourself away.
Your eyes, mesmerize, dispense with the doom.
Oh won't you please stay on the other side of the room

Moonbeams
03:41
|

|
Here I go again, chasing moonbeams, trying to catch a carnival in the sky,
You’re marvellous, no doubt about it, with that twinkle in your eye.
Here I go again, chasing moonbeams, trying to catch a carnival in the sky,
I’m always in the race; I never win a place, what kind of fool am I?
I’ll conjure in my dreams, a fancy flying machine, to catch a glimpse of you,
Aladdin’s magic lamp, a genie just to dance, to ever have a chance of loving you,
Here I go again, chasing moonbeams, trying to catch a carnival in the sky,
I’m always in the race; I never win a place, what kind of fool am I?

Big Bad Mama
04:19
|

|
Big bad mama, big bad mama you are,
Big bad mama, big bad mama you are,
You’re bold, you’re bad,
Best damn woman, a man ever had.
You're practical as a garden gate,
Never fancy and you’re never late,
Social comment, does more for you,
Than little dogs in handbags and Prada shoes,
No time for nonsense, no nonsense ways,
No time for fools or wasted days,
Like a century, you're so precise,
You’re standing in your gumboots,
You're naughty but nice.
You’re as safe as a port in a storm,
Your hands are cold, your heart is warm,
Bring on a roast, a bottle of red,
Kick off your sensibles and bounce around the bed.

Bang Bang

|
An impostor, you’re a fake, you’re a brown-eyed carpet snake
Take your boots from under my bed, you’ve been kissing him instead
Life can be so much fun, baby I just got me a gun
I’m gonna have to shoot you in the head, bang bang baby you’re dead
I won’t get mad I’ll get even, with your lying and deceiving
You stole my heart under false pretences, now I’ve come to my senses
Take your boots from under my bed, you’ve been kissing him instead
I’m gonna have to shoot you in the head, bang bang baby you’re dead
An imposter, you’re a fraud, your secret plans are flawed
You think you're high society, fancy pants impropriety
I won’t get mad, Ill just get even, with your cheating and your thieving
I’m gonna have to shoot you in the head, bang bang baby you’re dead
Bang bang baby you’re dead, now baby baby……

Swinging Kitten

|
Swinging kitten did me in,
The way you move, the way you swing,
Oh bounce my bells or make them ring,
That Swinging Kitten did me in.
Float my boat, flip flop fly,
Catch me quick, you cutie pie,
Fluff me up, fluff me down,
Blow my feathers all over town.
Now you’ve caught this astronaught,
Send me to the moon,
Zoom zoom zoom, I’m in a spin,
This kitten’s done me in.
Swinging Kitten did me in,
The way you move, the way you swing,
Bounce my bells or make them ring,
That Swinging Kitten did me in.

Bedlam Station
04:00
|

|
If bedlam was a station, seems I caught the early train
Well a lunatic asylum, just moved into my brain
If lunacy’s a bus stop, I took the ride
The saints of sanity lied
You make me crazy baby putting up with your ballyhoo
Oh you make me crazy baby, folly of you
Well I’m not short changed
Just quite deranged over you
A catalyst for chaos, you send me off the tracks
You’re a planetory mess, get me some sensibility back
With your madhouse ways and your reckless days
I’m not short changed, just quite deranged
If bedlam was a station, seems I caught the early train
Well a lunatic asylum, just moved into my brain
If lunacy’s a bus stop, I took the ride
The saints of sanity lied
A catalyst for chaos, you send me off the tracks
You’re a planetory mess, get me some sensibility back
With your madhouse ways and your reckless days
I’m not short changed, just quite deranged
If bedlam was a station, seems I caught the early train
Well a lunatic asylum, just moved into my brain
If lunacy’s a bus stop, I took the ride
The saints of sanity lied

Wonderland

Fell down a rabbit hole one morning,
No sign, no warning,
Cats that can talk,
Fish that can walk,
In Alice's Wonderland.
Eat me, drink me, the bottle said,
Now take a look at the state of my head,
I’m in Alice’s Wonderland.
Boop boopy dooby, Boop boopy dooby do
Boop boopy dooby do
Boop boopy dooby, Boop boopy dooby do
Boop boopy dooby do
Flying teacups in the air,
Cards and chess sets if you dare,
Wonderland has a curious view,
but don’t be fooled, there’s room for two,
In Alice’s wonderland.
Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee,
Sat to have a chat with me,
In Alice’s wonderland.
Boop boopy dooby, Boop boopy dooby do
Boop boopy dooby do
Boop boopy dooby, Boop boopy dooby do
Boop boopy dooby do
In the end what does it matter,
Just ask the old mad hatter,
Let me make it perfectly clear,
We’re absolutely made around here,
In Alice’s wonderland.
Wonderland has a curious view,
but don’t be fooled cos there’s room for two,
In Alice’s wonderland, Alice’s wonderland
