Synchronicity 2 Composer(s): Sting Performer(s): The Police; Morpholinos
Another suburban morning Grandmother screaming at the wall We have to shout above the din of our Rice Crispies We can't hear anything at all
Mother chants her litany of boredom and frustration But we know all the suicides are fake Daddy only stares into the distance There's only so much more that he can take
Many miles away something crawls from the slime At the bottom of a dark Scottish lake
Another industrial ugly morning The factory belches filth into the sky He walks unhindered through the picket lines today He doesn't think to wonder why The secretaries pout and preen like cheap tarts on a red light street
But all he ever thinks to do is watch And every single meeting with his so called superior Is a humiliating kick in the crotch
Many miles away something crawls to the surface Of a dark Scottish Loch
Another working day has ended Only the rush hour hell to face Packed like lemmings into shiny metal boxes Contestants in a suicidal race
Daddy grips the wheel and stares alone into the distance He knows that something somewhere has to break
He sees the family home now looming in his headlight The pain upstairs that makes his eyeballs ache
Many miles away there's a shadow on a door Of a cottage by the shore Of a dark Scottish lake
Your Smile Composer(s): Dory Langdon; André Previn Performer(s): Vic Damone
I heard you speak I touched your cheek
and then I saw your smile Much more than grand I held your hand and then I saw your smile A fleeting thing, a rose in Spring it bloomed for just a while On that wondrous place, your wondrous face I was filled with awe when I saw your smile I heard you speak, touched your cheek Much more than grand I held your hand and then I saw your smile A fleeting thing, a rose in Spring it bloomed for just a while On that wondrous face, your wondrous face I was filled with awe when I saw your smile
Symphony Of The Breeze Composer(s): Harry Leon - Leo Towers Performer(s): Jimmy Messene
Just like a song, sweetest of sweet melodies Help me along, symphony of the breeze I cant go on living with just memories Where has she gone, symphony of the breeze While youre softly sighing My poor heart is crying Crying for the one I love who wont come back to me What good am I walking alone through the trees Hear that goodbye, symphony of the breeze
Your Side Of The Bed Composer(s): Mac Davis Performer(s): Mac Davis
Lord, I miss you I just can't get it Through my weary head You're really gone
I just can't believe it But all of a sudden I've got too much pain For one man alone
The nights drag by And it gets harder all the time To go to sleep without Your soft skin touching mine
(Chorus) And I woke up on your side Of the bed again this morning With my old alarm clock Ringing half past eight With that old familiar hunger And my arms wrapped Round your shadow I woke up on your side of the bed
Another funky morning Sunday's dead and Monday's Dripping down my window pane
I wake up shaking Staring at the walls and Listening to the lonesome Sound of falling rain
I just can't make myself Believe that you don't care I keep on dreaming I'll wake up and you'll be there
(Chorus) 2x
Lord, I woke up on your side Of the bed again this morning With my old alarm clock Ringing half past eight.....
Your Saving Grace Composer(s): Tim Davis; Steve Miller; Ben Sidran Performer(s): Steve Miller
Winters people watching As I sail from seasons four To join some crazy ladies In a game upon the shore None of them with broken wings But still refuse to fly So with sweetness on my lips I smile a last goodbye
And now I spend my life On the velvet side of hell Aimlessly here searching For what I cannot tell The quietness is terrible Its more than I can stand But thousands now stand cheering As my blood flows in the sand
Spoken: youre not the child You thought you were You wake up in the night And know youre blind And yet they keep on pushing Trying the insides of your mind Forever, forever arresting to control Until the emptiness of heaven welcomes your weary soul
Rise up with the new dawns early morning Feel the sunshine warm upon your face Tomorrows come a long, long way to help you Yes, its your saving grace
Every day, every way Tomorrow, its your saving grace Well, now got no time to worry Cause Ive got no time to hurry Baby, its your saving grace Now dont you lay those blames on me Dont you play those games on me Cause baby its your saving grace You got to need a little lovin Now baby its your saving grace Hey, I feel alright Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Your saving grace Ah, hey, hey, hey Your saving grace La la la la la la la la.... Oh baby, its your saving grace

Tillad mig at præsentere mig selv jeg er en rig og stilfuld mand jeg har hængt ud her i årevis at stjæle sjælefred og tro er det jeg kan jeg var her da Jesus fik sin smertefulde tvivl på Golghata jeg ville sikre mig Pilatus beseglede den skæbne Jesus skulle ha
Godt at se dig gætter du mit navn blir du forvirret af mit spil, min leg, mit savn
Jeg hang ud i Sct. Petersborg da tiden den var inde til et skift Dræbte Zaren og ministrene Anastasias skrig gav et pift jeg kørte tank og var general af rang Da blitzkrigen rasede og ligene stank
Godt at se dig
Fornøjet så jeg jeres konger slå ihjel i tusind år for guder de opfandt jeg råbte Hvem dræbte Kennedy det var vel dig og mig ikke sandt tillad mig at præsentere mig selv jeg er en rig og stilfuld mand der lagde fælder ud for musikerne så de junked sig ihjel i ukendt land
Godt at se dig
Som hver en strømer er forbryder og en synder en hellig mand som plat er krone kald mig Lucifer jeg har behov for det som den begrænsning kan hvis du møder mig vis belevenhed vis lidt sympati det er mit bedste bud benyt din tillærte høflighed eller jeg lar din sjæl gå planken ud
Godt at se dig
Sig mig skat hvad er mit navn jeg siger det kun en gang

Please allow me to introduce myself I'm a man of wealth and taste I've been around for a long, long years Stole many a man's soul and faith
And I was 'round when Jesus Christ Had his moment of doubt and pain Made damn sure that Pilate Washed his hands and sealed his fate
Pleased to meet you Hope you guess my name But what's puzzling you Is the nature of my game
I stuck around St. Petersburg When I saw it was a time for a change Killed the czar and his ministers Anastasia screamed in vain
I rode a tank Held a general's rank When the blitzkrieg raged And the bodies stank
Pleased to meet you Hope you guess my name, oh yeah Ah, what's puzzling you Is the nature of my game, oh yeah (woo woo, woo woo)
I watched with glee While your kings and queens Fought for ten decades For the gods they made (woo woo, woo woo)
I shouted out, "Who killed the Kennedys?" When after all It was you and me (who who, who who)
Let me please introduce myself I'm a man of wealth and taste And I laid traps for troubadours Who get killed before they reached Bombay (woo woo, who who)
Pleased to meet you Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah (who who) But what's puzzling you Is the nature of my game, oh yeah, get down, baby (who who, who who)
Pleased to meet you Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah But what's confusing you Is just the nature of my game (woo woo, who who)
Just as every cop is a criminal And all the sinners saints As heads is tails Just call me Lucifer 'Cause I'm in need of some restraint (who who, who who)
So if you meet me Have some courtesy Have some sympathy, and some taste (woo woo) Use all your well-learned politesse Or I'll lay your soul to waste, um yeah (woo woo, woo woo)
Pleased to meet you Hope you guessed my name, um yeah (who who) But what's puzzling you Is the nature of my game, um mean it, get down (woo woo, woo woo)
Woo, who Oh yeah, get on down Oh yeah Oh yeah! (woo woo)
Tell me baby, what's my name Tell me honey, can ya guess my name Tell me baby, what's my name I tell you one time, you're to blame

Your Other Love Composer(s): Doc Pomus; Mort Shuman Performer(s): Dean Martin; The Flamingos
Your other love may be handsome And when he smiles he's got a twinkle in his eye Your other love may be bolder And when he holds you in his arms you wanna die He says he loves you from the very start But your other love, but your other love Is gonna someday break your heart.
Your other love says he needs you Just like a flower needs the burning summer sun Your other love says he wants you Oh, how he swears to you That you're the only one He claims his future just depends on you But your other love, but your other love Is gonna someday prove untrue
He's just tellin' lies Got you hypnotized Soon you'll realize
Your other love is unfaithful When you're not there, another girl is in his arms Your other love is a lover Makin' love to any girl who's in his arms My love is true Not for just a day But your other love But your other love Is gonna someday fly away But your other love But your other love Is gonna someday fly away

Your Ole Handy Man Composer(s): Dolly Parton Performer(s): Dolly Parton
I have to mow the lawn And I have to wash the car And I'd just like to know Just who you think you are I'm gettin' tired of wagging That old heavy garbage can Your woman's gettin' tired Of being your ole handy man
I have to run your water And I have to wash your back And I have to scrub the tub After you have had your bath
You're as helpless as a baby But I love you, understand I'm just gettin' tired Of being your ole handy man
Your woman's gettin' tired of being your ole handy man Now I know you've got ten fingers But where's your helpin' hand I've just made a decision I've stood all I'm gonna stand Your woman's gettin' tired of being your ole handy man
I do everything for you You never help yourself An' I think I'd die from shock If you raised a hand to help Well, I'm not gonna keep it up That's what you got planned Your woman's gettin' tired of being your ole handy man
Your woman's gettin' tired of being your ole handy man Now I know you got ten fingers But where's that helpin' hand I've just made a decision I've stood all I'm gonna stand Your woman's gettin' tired of being your ole handy man

She left you last night And today you called me on the phone Asked me if you could come over 'Cause you didn't want to be alone So you want me to stand in for her And be the love of your next act But this time I play the part so well There'll be no need for her coming back, 'cause...
Chorus You know that I'm your old stand-by You know that you can call on me I know the part so well that you can hardly tell That she's left you in misery
I know you only called me 'cause you needed company 'Cause once again she's left you and your heart's in misery, but...
(chorus)
(instrumental)
(repeat and fade) I don't wanna be your old stand-by I wanna be with you permanently I'm gonna play the part from the depths of my heart And you won't need nobody but me

Now when you climb into your bed tonight And when you lock and bolt the door Just think about out in the cold and dark 'Cause there's not enough love to go 'round
And sympathy is what we need my friends And sympathy is what we need And sympathy is what we need my friends 'Cause there's not enough love to go 'round No there's not enough love to go 'round

Now when you climb ... And when you lock ... Just think of those Out in the cold and dark 'Cause there is not enough love to go round
[Maxi Jazz] Until you wake up You people need a shake up You take up so much time Worrying, Scurrying Here, there Losing your hair No money to spare No love to share No wonder you appear under pressure from here You look fresh, yeah But all I got is dirt in my hair My nightmares manifest, But I can escape Yours is in your chest With no form or shape The tape is running I push the button to send Upon each other we all depend Message end
Whoever asks my name Or where I came from People fear contamination If they chary too long I carry a strong Sin of despair It's in the air I'm broken and hard to repair I may mistaken be But I patiently wait On the path to humanity I sit at the gates
Now when you climb Into your bed tonight And when you lock And bolt the door Just think of those Out in the cold and dark 'Cause there is not enough love to go round
Now when you climb Into your bed tonight And when you lock And bolt the door Just think of those Out in the cold and dark 'Cause there is not enough love to go round
[Maxi Jazz] Dirty, Cold, Hurting, Soul Down the river My liver in bad condition Like my skin Rain falling, once again I'm in my bed Hurt the time in I'm gonna struggle for air There's hair in my food When I get it usually someone already half ate it Touch it, not to let it Get me down But my head starting to pound People go round, and round and round
From one I get a cigarette A little more love found But the ground is still wet My teeth are chattering And there's a spattering of seeds Sometimes I lose all feeling in my feet When I sleep I'll do my deep in the mainstream But unaccountably my heart was growing Small and mean A hurry past Wretched people I pretend I haven't seen But there's money in my pocket And my clothes are clean?
[Maxi Jazz 4x] I said money in my pocket But I just can't give no love Money in my pocket But I just can't give no love
Now when you climb Into your bed tonight And when you lock And bolt the door Just think of those Out in the cold and dark 'Cause there is not enough love to go round 'Cause there is not enough love to go round
Your Mind Has Left Your Body Composer(s): Paul Kantner Performer(s): Paul Kantner
You have left your body Be aware if you care Your mind has left your body And for this one moment you are Under the polar ice cap In a place we call home How is it there white bear Like that Where you grow...
Now all of you come back to here and now Elsewhen to there Move on out the other way Where... Do you find yourself Floating, growing, there
Riders of the rainbow Let it grow, let it grow
You can exercise your mind On where you want to go And you can see the city lights flashin' Two thousand miles below you You can feel the sands of Zanzibar Or pierce the nearest sun Find out what and who you are And if you need to run
Riders of the rainbow Let it grow, let it grow Riders of the rainbow Let it grow, let it grow
There is one moment in your life And it can come at any time And you remember all of what went on From the instant you were born Through your early years
And if you can fasten on that moment And expand through the afterglow You can reverse your mind in time And travel back to when The earth was formed The sky was born And the universe began
Riders of the rainbow Let it grow, let it grow
You have left your body Return when you may Save it for another day, beyond you
