Tiger in the night

You are the tiger burning bright
Deep in the forest of my night
You are the one who keeps me strong in this world 

You sleep by the silent cooling streams
Down in the darkness of my dreams 
All of my life I never knew 
You were the dream I'd see come true 
You are the tiger burning bright 

I was the one who looked so hard I could not see. 
Now I could never live without the love you give to me. 

I lived like a wild and lonely soul, 
Lost in a dream beyond control. 
You were the one who brought me home down to earth. 

For you are the tiger burning bright 
Deep in the forest of my night 
All of my life I never knew 
You were the dream I'd see come true 
You are the tiger burning bright

Faraway voice

Whoo 
Faraway voice, 
We can hear you whoo voice, 
What's it like to be heard, 
But from you not a word, 
Are you over those hills, 
Do you still hum the old melodies, 
Do you wish people listened, 
Over here with me, 
Whoo x 2 

Faraway voice, 
What I would give to hear that voice, 
What's it like to breath, 
My ears deceive me voice, 

And I will walk with you on a summers, 
And I will talk to you, 
Though you're faraway, 
And we'll sing through the years, 
Are you over those hills, 
Do you still hum the old melodies, 
Do you wish people listened, 
Over here with me x 3 
Whoo x 2

My aphrodisiac is you

Some people say 
That oysters make you come on strong, 
But I don't buy it, 
I don't believe my diet turns me on. 
Won't take no pills, 
That's the last thing that I need to do, 
I can't deny it, 
My aphrodisiac is you. 

Alright, I could sniff some powdered rhino horn, 
And go to bed in rubber gloves. 
But I don't need no stimulation, 
Potions, balms or embrocation, 
I'm in love, 
In other words: 

Don't smoke no grass, 
Or opium from old Hong Kong, 
That hubble-bubble 
Just makes me see you double 
All night long. 
Don't waste my time 
With Spanish fly and roots to chew, 
They cause me trouble, 
Because my aphrodisiac is you. 

Alright, I could sniff some powdered rhino horn, 
And go to bed in rubber gloves. 
But I don't need no stimulation, 
Potions, balms or embrocation, 
I'm in love, 
In other words: 

Some people like 
To read the khama sutra first, 
But I don't need it 
I think if I should read it 
I'd be worse; 
Don't ask me why, 
Because baby, I ain't got a clue. 
I just concede it, 
My aphrodisiac Is you.

Learnin' the blues

The tables are empty - the dance floor's deserted 
You play the same love song - it's the tenth time you've heard it 
That's the beginning - just one of the clues 
You've had your first lesson - in learnin' the blues 

The cigarettes you light - one after another 
Won't help you forget her - and the way that you love her 
You're only burning - a torch you can't lose 
But you're on the right track - for learnin' the blues 

When you're at home alone, the blues will taunt you - constantly 
When you're out in a crowd, the blues will haunt your memory 

The nights when you don't sleep - the whole night you're crying 
You just can't forget her - soon you even stop trying 
You'll walk the floor - and wear out your shoes 
When you feel your heart break - you're learnin' the blues

Mockingbird song

Hush now, Honey, here's the word 
My Baby's gonna buy me a mockingbird 
If that mockingbird don't sing 
Baby's gonna buy me a diamond ring 
If that diamond ring don't shine 
We'll still have a real good time, 
So I'm making it clear 
Woah, woah. 

To this man that I have found 
I'm gonna sing the sweetest sound 
And if that sweetest sound don't rock 
I'm gonna buy him a music box 
And if that music box don't play 
I'm gonna stay with him anyway 
So I'm making it clear 
Woah, woah 

When that man and I are wed 
I'm gonna keep him warm in bed 
And when my man's no longer hot 
I'm gonna bring him a vodka shot 
And when that spirit's made him strong 
I'm gonna stay with him all night long 
I'll be holding on tightly 

Woah, woah

Downstairs to the sun

Can't say what came over me 
I wasn't what I used to be 
Hadn't seen how I lost control 
And I always thought that I was strong 

But one night, one situation, 
One sign, one devastation 

Chorus 
I could have said: no to the walk 
Listened instead of just talked 
And I dreamed that I had screamed 
I could have run, down the stairs to the sun 

It's not what you did to me, 
It's the fact that I didn't fight you back 
And it seems I had lost my voice 
The one that always made the right choice 

'cause two nights, two situations, 
Two signs, two devastations 

Chorus 

But now the cup is no longer cold 
As the rain trickles down I feel a bold 
And time is calling me to set myself free 
Concession is the key and knowing what you don't see 

Chorus

I put a spell on you

I put a spell on you 
Beause you're mine 
You better stop the things you do 
I ain't lyin' 
No I ain't lyin' 

You know I can't stand it 
You're fooling around 
I can't stand it 
you are breaking me down 
I put a spell on you 
Because you're mine 
You're mine 

You know I can't standing it 
You're fooling around 
I can't standing it 
you are breaking me down (down down) 
I put a spell on you 
Because you're mine 

You hear me 
I put a spell on you 
Because you're mine 
you better stop the things you do 
I am not lying... No, I am not lying

Love cats

(The Cure) 

Let's go and throw 
All the Songs we know 
Into the sea 
You and me 
All these years and no one heard 
I'll show you in spring 
It's a treacherous thing 
We missed you hissed the lovecats 
We missed you hissed the lovecats 

We move like cagey tigers 
Oh - We couldn't get closer than this 
The way we walk 
The way we talk 
The way we stalk 
The way we kiss 
We slip through the streets 
While everyone sleeps 
Getting bigger wider and brighter 
Let's go and throw 
All the songs we know... 
Into the sea 
You and me 
All these years and no one heard 
I'll show you in spring 
It's a treacherous thing 
We missed you hissed the lovecats 
We missed you hissed the lovecats 

We're so wonderfully wonderfully wonderfully 
Wonderfully pretty! 
you know that I'd do anything for you... 
We should have each other to dinner huh? 
We should have each other with cream 
Then curl up by the fire 
And sleep for awhile 
It's the grooviest thing 
It's the perfect dream 
Into the sea 
You and me 
All these years and no one heard 
I'll show you in spring 
It's a treacherous thing 
We missed you hissed the lovecats (lovecats) 
INTERLUDE 

Into the sea 
You and me 
All these years and no one heard 
I'll show you in spring 
It's a treacherous thing 
We missed you hissed the lovecats 
We missed you hissed the lovecats 

We move like cagey tigers 
Oh - We couldn't get closer than this 
The way we walk 
The way we talk 
The way we stalk 
And the way we kiss 
INTERLUDE 
We slip through the streets 
While everyone sleeps 
Getting bigger wider and brighter 
Let's go and throw 
All the songs we know... 
Into the sea 
You and me 
All these years and no one heard 
I'll show you in spring 
It's a treacherous thing 
We missed you hissed the lovecats 
We missed you hissed the lovecats 
Babababa..... 

The anniversary song

Today has been a special day 
An anniversary, a request 
That you play your piano 
As the evening sun slowly sets 

Chorus 
I never knew I'd get this old dear 
Never had a reason to live so long 
And the Lord's been like my shadow 
Ever since I was wrong 
No I never knew it would turn out this way 

A birthday with apologies 
For all the tears and the rest 
And I've always saved your poetry 
For those years when you forget 

Chorus 

So sing to me softly 
As the day turns to night 
And as I wander in paradise with you 
I love you and good night

Belfast

I've got a ticket, 
To the fast city, 
Where the bells don't really ring, 
Getting off the plane the cold air, 
Rushes like bullets through my brain, 
And I'm divided between penguins and cats, 
But it's not about what animal youıve got, 
It's about being able to fly, 
It's about dying nine times, 
Aah x 2 

Walked on Broadway, 
Going up to falls, 
With the old man I used to know, 
The paintings on the walls of release, 
Are colourful but they are no Matisse, 
And I'm divided between penguins and cats, 
But it's not about what animal you've got, 
It's about being able to fly, 
It's about dying nine times, 
Aah x 2 

It's about being able to fly, 
It's about dying nine times, 
Aah x 2

I think it's going to rain today

Broken windows and empty hallways 
A pale dead moon in the sky streaked with gray 
Human kindness is overflowing 
And I think it's going to rain today 

Scarecrows dressed in the latest styles 
With frozen smiles to chase love away 
Human kindness is overflowing 
And I think it's going to rain today 

Lonely, lonely 
Tin can at my feet 
Think I'll kick it down the street 
That's the way to treat a friend 

Bright before me the signs implore me 
To help the needy and show them the way 
Human kindness is overflowing 
And I think it's going to rain today

Crawling up a hill

Every morning (a)bout half past eight, 
My Mummer wakes me says, 
"Donıt be late", 
Get to the office, tryin' to concentrate, 
My life is just a slow train crawling up a hill. 

So I stop one day to figure it out, 
I'll quit my job without a shadow of a doubt, 
To sing the blues that I know about, 
My life is just a slow train crawling up a hill. 

Minute after minute, 
Second after second, 
Hour after hour goes by, 
Working for a rich girl, 
Staying just a poor girl, 
Never stop to wonder why. 

So here I am in London town, 
A better scene Iım gonna be around, 
The kind of music that won't bring me down, 
My life is just a slow train crawling up a hill.

Blame it on the moon

Gonna blame it on the moon, 
Didn't want to fall in love again so soon. 

I was fine, feeling strong, 
Didn't want to fall in love with anyone. 

Now that it's gone too far to call for a halt, 
I'll blame it on the moon 
'Cause it's not my fault; 
I didn't think I'd this would happen so soon 
So I'll blame it on the moon. 

I was happy to be free 
Didn't think I'd give myself so easily. 

Guilty feelings in the night 
As I wonder is it wrong to feel so right. 

Now that it's gone too far to call for a halt, 
I'll blame it on the moon 
'Cause it's not my fault; 
I didn't think I'd this would happen so soon 
So I'll blame it on the moon. 

Gonna blame it on the moon, 
Didn't want to fall in love again so soon. 

I was fine, feeling strong, 
Didn't want to fall in love with anyone. 

Now that it's gone too far to call for a halt, 
I'll blame it on the moon 
'Cause it's not my fault; 
I didn't think I'd this would happen so soon 
So I'll blame it on the moon

Lilac wine

I lost myself on a cool damp night 
Gave myself in that misty light 
Was hypnotized by a strange delight 
Under a lilac tree 
I made wine from the lilac tree 
Put my heart in its recipe 
It makes me see what I want to see 
and be what I want to be 

When I think more than I want to think 
Do things I never should do 
I drink much more than I ought to drink 
Because I brings me back you... 

Lilac wine is sweet and heady, 
like my love 
Lilac wine, I feel unsteady, 
like my love 
Listen to me... 
I cannot see clearly 
Isn't that he coming to me nearly here? 

Lilac wine is sweet and heady 
where's my love? 
Lilac wine, I feel unsteady, 
where's my love? 

Listen to me, why is everything so hazy? 
Isn't that he, or am I just going crazy, dear? 
Lilac Wine, I feel unready 
for my love... 

Thank you stars

Some call it faith, some call it love. 
Some call it guidance from above. 
You are the reason we found ours, 
So thank you stars. 

Some people think it's far away, 
Some know it's with them everyday. 
You are the reason we found ours, 
So thank you stars. 

There are no winds that can blow it away on the air, 
When they try to blow it away 's when you know it will always be there. 

To some it's the strength to be apart, 
To some it's a feeling in the heart. 
And when you're out there on your own, it's the way back home. 

There are no winds that can blow it away on the air, 
When they try to blow it away 's when you know it will always be there. 

Some call it faith, some call it love. 
Some call it guidance from above. 
You are the reason we found ours, 
So thank you stars. 
Thank you stars, 
Thank you stars, 
Thank you stars. 

Jack's room

Sunday, and mum was cleaning up Jack's room 
I could call it, the beginning of this household's doom 
After knowing her son for 18 years, she did not expect to find these items here. 
In Jack's room, behind the cupboard, she finds pretty stockings & dresses & heels. 
In Jack's room, behind the cupboard she finds pretty dresses & heels. 

Down the stairs in a confused state of mind. 
mother tells dad, our son has something to hide 
As he follows her back up to Jack's room 
really not knowing what to presume. 
In Jack's room behind the cupboard 
they find pretty stockings & dresses & heels 
In Jack's room behind the cupboard, they find pretty dresses & heels. 

And now Jack is walking home 
Thinks there is nothing wrong 
He even stops to buy some flowers 
For his dearest folks, cause they're such a joke 
They want to clean his room for hours 

And now Jack's in a confused state of mind 
mother asks him, he doesn't know how to reply 
Then dad suddenly, goes bright red 
and says, ive got something to confess 
In Jack's room behind the cupboard 
They're my pretty stockings & dresses & heels 
In Jack's room, behind the cupboard 
they're my pretty dresses & heels. 

In Jack's room, behind the cupboard 
they're my pretty stockings & dresses & heels 
In Jack's room, behind the cupboard 
they're my pretty dresses & heels 

Deep purple

When the deep purple falls, 
Over sleepy garden walls, 

And the stars begin to flicker in the sky, 
Through the mist of a memory, 

You wander back to me, 
Breathing my name with a sigh. 
In the still of the night, 

Once again I hold you tight, 
Though you're gone, your love lives on 

When moonlight beams. 
And as long as my heart will beat, 
Lover, we'll always meet, 
Here in my deep purple dreams.

Turn to tell

I turn to tell him things 
I still make tea for two 
I keep the kitchen clean 
The way he'd want me to 
Start again, but I'm not ready to move on 
'Cos I still turn to tell him, I love him 
But he's gone 

I miss the mess he made 
Of my head when we fought 
Over such silly things 
I wish we could have talked 
A little more, spoke instead of screamed 
'Cos when I turn to tell him, I love him 
He's just a dream 

I lost the second chance 
When fate led time away 
I keep his picture close 
So his memory won't fade 
Alive in me, forever with my soul 
So when I turn to tell him, I love him 
I think he knows

On the road again

Well I'm so tired of cryin' but I'm out on the road again 
I'm on the road again. 
Well I'm so tired of cryin' but I'm out on the road again 
I'm on the road again. 
I ain't got no woman just to call my special friend. 

And I'm going to leave the city, got to go away. 
I'm going to leave the city, got to go away. 
All this fussing and fighting, man I sure can't stay. 

You know the first time I travelled out in the rain and snow 
in the rain and snow. 
You know the first time I travelled out in the rain and snow 
in the rain and snow. 
I didn't have no fellow, not even no place to go. 

And my dear mother left me when I was quite young 
when I was quite young. 
And my dear mother left me when I was quite young 
when I was quite young. 
She said "Lord have mercy on my wicked son." 
--- Break --- 
Take a hint from me mama please don't you cry no more 
don't you cry no more. 
Take a hint from me mama please don't you cry no more 
don't you cry no more. 
Cause it's soon one morning down the road I'm gone. 

But I ain't going down that long and lonesome road 
all by myself. 
But I ain't going down that long and lonesome road 
all by myself. 
I can't carry you baby, gonna carry somebody else.
