The Ballad Of Mack The Knife???
Be Still My Beating HeartBe still my beating heart It would be better to be cool It's not time to be open just yet A lesson once learned is so hard to forget Be still my beating heart Or I'll be taken for a fool It's not healthy to run at this pace The blood runs so red to my face I've been to every single book I know To soothe the thoughts that plague me so I sink like a stone that's been thrown in the ocean My logic has drowned in a sea of emotion Stop before you start Be still my beating heart Be still my beating heart You must learn to stand your ground It's not healthy to run at this pace The blood runs so red to my face I've been to every single book I know To soothe the thoughts that plague me so Stop before you start Be still my beating heart Never to be wrong Never to make promises that break It's like singing in the wind Or writing on the surface of a lake And I wriggle like a fish caught on dry land Struggle to avoid any help at hand I sink like a stone that's been thrown in the ocean My logic has drowned in a sea of emotion Stop before you start Be still my beating heart
Beneath A Desert MoonFrom the mountains of the moon to the mighty delta From the deserts of the West to the shining sea Beneath the canopy of stars flowed the serpent river Flowing through my father's land that he left to me From the baker to the priest to the candle maker From the highest to the low in my father's land We make our offer to the sun 'fore the break of morning Or else everything we have will just turn to sand I have a lot to ask I have a lot that I need to say I have so much to do And all I need is another day From the soldier to the scribe to the carpet maker All the different colored threads in a carpet loom A woven tapestry of life is our mighty nation This is the writing on the wall of my father's tomb We have a lot to ask We have a lot that we need to say We have so much to do And all we need is another day Beneath the desert moon I call you Beneath the desert moon I sing Beneath the desert moon so lonely I'm just a boy who would be king With just the moon to guide us We sometimes lose our way If there's a light inside us We'll follow, follow it to the brightness of the day Every single blade of grass every yellow flower Every ripple on the sea or the blue blue Nile Every leaf on every tree every single creature From the smallest little bird to the crocodile We have a lot to ask We have a lot that we need to say We have so much to do And all we need is another day Beneath the desert moon I call you Beneath the desert moon we sing Beneath the desert moon we're waiting Before the coming of the king Beneath the desert moon that's sinking We see the Eastern skies on fire This is where darkness leaves And shining waters fall And let the shadows run And we'll say, "welcome to the sun" Brand new day... From the mountains of the moon to the mighty delta From the deserts of the West to the shining sea Beneath the canopy of stars flowed the serpent river Flowing through my father's land that he left to me
Big Lie, Small WorldI sat down and wrote this letter Telling you that I felt better Since you’d gone and I was free I’m so happy I have so little time to spare now I’m wanted almost everywhere now I make out like Casanova Friends are always coming over I signed my name as if I meant it Sealed it with a kiss and sent it The letter had improved my mood Happy in my solitude But halfway home I changed my tune And when I saw my lonely room The mirror caught my eye When I sit down I cry Big lie, small world Big lie, small world I had to intercept that letter Telling you that I was better I raced to catch the postman’s van He was leaving as I ran I miss the bus I miss the train I end up walking in the rain Big dog chased me down the street I hadn't had a bite to eat Feeling sorry for myself Wishing I was someone else I walked across the city 'Cause I couldn’t stand your pity Big lie, small world Big lie, small world The place you live looks opulent And obviously a higher rent Than our cosy little room I had this sense of doom The landlord says you’re out of town That your new boyfriend’s always around The hour was getting late So I sit down and wait Here’s the postman with my letter Coming down the path, he’d better Give that thing to me I have to make him see Begging doesn’t do the trick He thinks that I’m a lunatic And then who comes upon the scene But your new boyfriend Mr. Clean I hit the postman, hit your lover Grabbed the letter ran for cover The police arrived in time for tea Said they’d like to question me I can only curse my fate I have to face the magistrate It hasn’t been the best of days I’d like to fly away Big lie, small world Big lie, small world
Brand New DayHow many of you people out there Been hurt in some kind of love affair? And how many times did you swear That you’d never love again? How many lonely sleepless nights? How many lies, how many fights? And why would you want to Put yourself through all of that again? Love is pain I hear you say Love is a cruel and bitter way Of paying you back for all the faith you ever had in your brain How could it be that what you need the most Can leave you feeling just like a ghost? You never want to feel so sad and lost again One day you could be looking Through an old book in rainy weather You see a picture of her smiling at you When you were still together You could be walking down the street And who should you chance to meet? But that same old smile you’ve been thinking of all day Why don't we turn the clock to zero honey? I’ll sell the stock we’ll spend all the money We're starting up a brand new day Turn the clock all the way back I wonder if she’ll take me back I’m thinking in a brand new way Turn the clock to zero sister You’ll never know how much I missed her Starting up a brand new day Turn the clock to zero boss The rivers wide we’ll swim across We're starting up a brand new day It could happen to you Just like it happened to me There is simply no immunity Theres no guarantee I say love is such a force if you find yourself in it You need some time for reflection You say, Baby wait a minute, wait a minute Wait a minute, wait a minute Wait a minute, wait a minute Turn the clock to zero honey I’ll sell the stock we’ll spend all the money We're starting up a brand new day Turn the clock to zero mac I'm begging her to take me back I’m thinking in a brand new way Turn the clock to zero boss The rivers wide we'll swim across Starting up a brand new day Turn the clock to zero buddy Don’t wanna be no fuddy duddy Starting up a brand new day I’m the rhythm in your tune I’m the sun and you’re the moon I’m a bat and you’re the cave You’re the beach and I’m the wave I’m the plough and you're the land You’re the glove and I’m the hand I’m the train and you’re the station I’m the flagpole to your nation, yeah I'm the present to your future You're the wound and I'm the suture You're the magnet to my pole I'm the devil in your soul You're the pupil I'm the teacher You're the church and I'm the preacher You're the flower I'm the rain You're the tunnel I'm the train Stand up, all you lovers in the world Stand up and be counted, every boy and every girl Stand up, all you lovers in the world Starting up a brand new day You're the crop to my rotation You're the sum of my equation I'm the answer to your question If you follow my suggestion We could turn this ship around And go up instead of down You're the pan and I'm the handle You're the flame and I'm the candle Stand up, all you lovers in the world Stand up and be counted, every boy and every girl Stand up, all you lovers in the world Starting up a brand new day It's a brand new day It's a brand new day It's a brand new day It's a brand new day
Bring On The NightThe afternoon has gently passed me by The evening spreads its sail against the sky Waiting for tomorrow Just another day God bid yesterday goodbye Bring on the night I couldn't spend another hour of daylight Bring on the night I couldn't stand another hour of daylight The future is but a question mark Hangs above my head there in the dark Can't see for the brightness Is staring me blind God bid yesterday goodbye Bring on the night I couldn't spend another hour of daylight Bring on the night I couldn't stand another hour of daylight Bring on the night I couldn't spend another hour of daylight Bring on the night I couldn't stand another hour of daylight I couldn't stand another hour of daylight
