All the late night bargains have been struck
Between the satin beaus and their belles
And prehistoric garbage trucks
Got the city to themselves
Echoes roars dinosaurs
They’re all doing the monster mash
And most of the taxis, most of the whores
Are only taking calls for cashI don’t know how it happened
It all took place so quick
But all I can do is hand it to you
And your latest trickMy door was standing open
Security was laid back and lax
But it was only my heart got broken
You must have had a pass key made out of wax
You played robbery with insolence
And I played the blues in twelve bars down Lover’s Lane
And you never did have the intelligence to use
The twelve keys hanging off my chainI don’t know how it happened
It all took place so quick
But all I can do is hand it to you
And your latest trickNow it’s past last call for alcohol
Past recall has been here and gone
The landlord he finally paid us all
The satin jazzmen have put away their horns
And we’re standing outside of this wonderland
Looking so bereaved and so bereft
Like a Bowery bum when he finally understands
The bottle’s empty and there’s nothing leftI don’t know how it happened
It was faster than the eye could flick
But all I can do is hand it to you
And your latest trick 8)Cupid de Locke
Cupid hath pulled back his sweetheart’s bow
To cast divine arrows into her soul
To grab her attention swift and quick
Or morrow the marrow of her bones be thick
With turpentine kisses and mistaken blowsSee the devil may do as the devil may care
He loves none sweeter as sweeter the dare
Her mouth the mischief he doth seek
Her heart the captive of which he speaks
So note all ye lovers in love with the sound
Your world be shattered with nary a note
Of one cupids arrow under your coatAnd in the land of star crossed lovers
And barren hearted wanderers
Forever lost in forsaken missives and satan’s pull
We seek the unseekable and we speak the unspeakable
Our hopes dead gathering dust to dust
In faith, in compassion, and in loveSmashing Pumpkins
Accident Waiting to Happen
Billy BraggI’ve always been impressed with a girl
Who could sing for her supper and get breakfast as well
That’s the way I am, heaven help me
He said, “We don’t like peace camapigners ’round here”
As he nailed another one to the wall
And that’s what gets me in trouble, heaven help meGoodbye and good luck to all the promises you’ve broken
Goodbye and good luck to all the rubbish that you’ve spoken
Your life has lost its dignity, its beauty and its passion
You’re an accident waiting to happenThere you are standing in the bar
And you’re giving me grief about the DDR
And that chip on your shoulder gets bigger as you
get older
One of these night you’re gonna get caught,
And She’ll give you a pregnant pause for thought
You’re a dedicated swallower of fascismTime up and time out
For all the liberties you’ve taken
Time up and time out for all the friends that
you’ve foresaken
And if you choose to waste away like death is back in fashion
You’re an accident waiting to happenMy sins are so unoriginal
I have all the self-loathing of a wolf in sheep’s clothing
In this carnival of carnivores,
Heaven help meI realise this is a more well known Bragg number,,but it gets me everytime..
Between The Wars
<<<
<<<
<<<
I was a miner
I was a docker
I was a railway man
Between the wars
I raised a family
In times of austerity
With sweat at the foundry
Between the warsI paid the union and as times got harder
I looked to the government to help the working man
And they brought prosperity down at the armoury
We’re arming for peace, me boys
Between the warsI kept the faith and I kept voting
Not for the iron fist but for the helping hand
For theirs is a land with a wall around it
And mine is a faith in my fellow man
Theirs is a land of hope and glory
Mine is the green field and the factory floor
Theirs are the skies all dark with bombers
And mine is the peace we know
Between the warsCall up the craftsmen
Bring me the draftsmen
Build me a path from cradle to grave
And I’ll give my consent
To any government
That does not deny a man a living wageGo find the young men never to fight again
Bring up the banners from the days gone by
Sweet moderation
Heart of this nation
Desert us not, we are
Between the wars
You always won, everytime you placed a bet
You’re still damn good, no one’s gotten to you yet
Everytime they were sure they had you caught
You were quicker than they thought
You’d just turn your back and walk
You always said, the cards would never do you wrong
The trick you said was never piay the game too long
A gambler’s share, the only risk that you would take
The only loss you could forsake
The only bluff you couldn’t fakeAnd you’re still the same
I caught up with you yesterday
Moving game to game
No one standing in your way
Turning on the charm
Long enough to get you by
You’re still the same
You still aim highThere you stood, everybody watched you play
I just turned and walked away
I had nothing left to say‘Cause you’re still the same
You’re still the same
Moving game to game
Some thlngs never change
You’re still the samefor me. :wink: :wink:
Let’s dance put on your red shoes and dance the blues
Let’s dance to the song
They’re playin’ on the radioLet’s sway
While color lights up your face
Let’s sway
Sway through the crowd to an empty spaceIf you say run, I’ll run with you
If you say hide, we’ll hide
Because my love for you
Would break my heart in two
If you should fall
Into my arms
And tremble like a flowerLet’s dance for fear
Your grace should fall
Let’s dance for fear tonight is allLet’s sway you could look into my eyes
Let’s sway under the moonlight,
This serious moonlightIf you say run, I’ll run with you
If you say hide, we’ll hide
Because my love for you
Would break my heart in two
If you should fall
Into my arms
And tremble like a flowerLet’s dance put on your red shoes
And dance the bluesLet’s dance to the song
They’re playin’ on the radioLet’s sway you could look into my eyes
Let’s sway under the moonlight,
This serious moonlight~DAVID BOWIE~
Read my mind
The KillersOn the corner of main street
Just tryin’ to keep it in line
You say you wanna move on and
You say I’m falling behindCan you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?I never really gave up on
Breakin’ out of this two-star town
I got the green light
I got a little fight
I’m gonna turn this thing aroundCan you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?The good old days, the honest man
The restless heart, the Promised Land
A subtle kiss that no one sees
A broken wrist and a big trapezeOh well I don’t mind, if you don’t mind
‘Cause I don’t shine if you don’t shine
Before you go, can you read my mind?It’s funny how you just break down
Waiting on some sign
I pull up to the front of your driveway
With magic soaking my spineCan you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?The teenage queen, the loaded gun
The drop dead dream, the Chosen One
A southern drawl, the world unseen
A city wall and a trampolineOh well I don’t mind if you don’t mind
‘Cause I don’t shine if you don’t shine
Before you jump,
Tell me what you find..
When you read my mindSlipping in my faith until I fall
You never returned that call
Woman, open the door, don’t let it sting
I wanna breathe that fire againShe said I don’t mind if you don’t mind
‘Cause I don’t shine if you don’t shine
Put your back on me
Put your back on me
Put your back on meThe stars are blazing like rebel diamonds, cut out of the sun
Can you read my mind“LDN”
Riding through the city on my bike all day
Cause the filth took away my license
It doesn’t get me down and I feel OK
Cause the sights that I’m seeing are pricelessEverything seems to look as it should
But I wonder what goes on behind doors
A fella looking dapper, but he’s sitting with a slapper
Then I see it’s a pimp and his crack whoreYou might laugh you might frown
Walkin’ round London town[Chorus]
Sun is in the sky oh why oh why ?
Would I wanna be anywhere else
Sun is in the sky oh why oh why ?
Would I wanna be anywhere elseWhen you look with your eyes
Everything seems nice
But if you look twice
you can see it’s all liesThere was a little old lady, who was walking down the road
She was struggling with bags from Tesco
There were people from the city having lunch in the park
I believe that it’s called al fresco
Then a kid came along to offer a handBut before she had time to accept it
hits her over the head, doesn’t care if she’s dead
Cause he’s got all her jewelery and walletYou might laugh you might frown
walking round London town[Chorus]
Sun is in the sky oh why oh why?
Would I wanna be anywhere else
Sun is in the sky oh why oh why?
Would I wanna be anywhere elseWhen you look with your eyes
Everything seems nice
But if you look twice
you can see it’s all liesLife, yeah that’s city life, yeah that’s city life, yeah that’s city life
Life, yeah that’s city life, yeah that’s city life, yeah that’s city life[Chorus x2]
Sun is in the sky oh why oh why?
Would I wanna be anywhere else
Sun is in the sky oh why oh why?
Would I wanna be anywhere else[x2]
When you look with your eyes
Everything seems nice
But if you look twice
You can see it’s all lies…….and i’m down in a tubestation at midnight,
the wine will be flat and the currys gone cold….and i’m down in a tubestation at midnight
For you I was a flame,
Love is a losing game
Five story fire as you came,
Love is losing gameOne I wish I never played,
Oh, what a mess we made
And now the final frame,
Love is a losing gamePlayed out by the band,
Love is a losing hand
More than I could stand,
Love is a losing handSelf professed profound
Til’ the chips were down
Know you’re a gambling man
Love is a losing handTho’ I battled blind,
Love is a fate resigned
Memories mar my mind,
Love it is a fate resignedOver futile odds,
And laughed at by the Gods
And now the final frame,
Love is a losing gameLove is a losing game….. Amy Winehouse
