If I had a lot of money
Id move to another country
Id disappear, not tell a soul, I'd change my name
Or maybe I'd go back to school
Major in something foolish
And I could do it cause I'd have a lot of money
Here I am holding on to childhood's dream
Sitting in my apple tree
Swaying as the branches tremble under me
The jig is up, it's all been played
The well is dry, the bed's been made
The jig is up, the jig is up
Maybe I could jump,
Jump off the Brooklyn Bridge
But I don't live in Brooklyn
And I don't know how to swim
Or I could find religion
go on some kind of mission
Feed the poor, and then I would go to heaven
if I believed in heaven
Here I am, holding on to childhood's dream
Standing on the balcony
Waiting for someone to come and rescue me
The jig is up, the dance is done
The record skips, the song's been sung
The troops have dwindled down to one
The jig is up
The jig is up, the sun has set
The train is wrecked, the sheets are wet
And like I said, the jig is up
Well I can't really disappear
Cause I dont have a lot of money
And I don't really think I wanna
go back to school
But maybe I'm just in a bad mood
And I need to change my attitude
And when I wake up tomorrow
I'll believe in heaven
Here I am, holding on to childhood's dream
Climbing down the apple tree
Waking as you pull the covers off of me
The jig is up
The jig is up, yes it's been tough
The punch is drunk, the shrink is shrunk
It's time to get the baby up
It's off to work let's start the car
We'll turn it over in its grave
And start again its soul to save
The jig is up but so what
We'll fill again this empty cup
The jig is up, the point's been made
Elvis has just left the stage
The story needs another twist
And I have had enough of this
One Summer Last Fall (Jets To Brazil)
kid i held you with these arms that felt so hard
you kept your chin up and i held my guard
made a prison bed from a life i never led
let me correct these mistakes you delight in
God i hope i get it right ive been practicing tonight
kid i hope it holds soime fraction of its feeling
if you keep believing then ill keep on being
a ghost in his prison bed short sheeted and shook dead
looking at love he still hasnt made yet
that i couldnt make to you baby, i can barely move
kid you were wrong that wasnt me in that song
you write the lie youd like to be
when your life feels like a book you wouldnt read
kid ive lived through others i made myself so mall
i lived through a record one summer last fall
the singer said something i could only feel
i saw him this morning he still looked real real
God i need him here tonight
i just know hed get this right
kid im a mess
if it looked good youre seeing things i guess
i changed my mind so many times im a strobe light
flickering freak. the baby of the week
im starting to see someone i could never be
kid what went wrong? we had it all now its all gone
i blew my mind out now its your turn to find out
what we all need
what we all mean
im starting to see someone i dont want to be
Hanging Upside Down (David Byrne)
Window shoppin'
Finger poppin'
Hangin' in our fav'rite shopping mall
Looky looky
A little cutie
A little kitten she deserves a home
Tell you dudes when I get old enough
Bet that I am gonna try some stuff
Twisted sister
Don't 'cha miss her
But there's a hundred more where she came from
Wiggle wiggle
Jiggle jiggle
Jesus, how the babes are almost grown!
I don't need to watch the news at night
Anyone can see we're outa time --
Hangin' on
Hangin' out
Got my hundred dollar shoes
Hangin' round
Hangin' free
We got nothin else to do
What goes up
Must come down
Oh, she took an overdose
Hangin' out
Hangin' free
Till our mama takes us home
Shimmy shimmy
Gimmie gimmie
We don't need you & we don't need love
Gotta have it
I'm gonna grab it
It ain't stealing, hey, it's only fun
When you live inside the pleasure dome
You don't ever wanna go back home
Hangin' on
Hangin' out
Some are hangin' upside down
A perfect world
A perfect girl
Oh ? another year rolls by
I'm the king
You're my queen
When those zombies all awake
A broken heart
A broken home
Ain't no tears upon your face
Hangin' on
Hangin' out
There's a place for me & you
Hangin' round
Hangin' free
We got nothin' else to do
Turn it up
Fade it down
Yeah, that song it saved my life
Perfect teeth
A perfect smile
Oh, she was a friend of mine
Let's go out
To the place
Where the hands of time are slowed
No one walks
No one dies
No more hassles anymore
Moon Song (Bob Schneider)
I like the sun
When it shines
On the moon
At night
I like the way
The way that you smile
When you feel
Just right
La la la la
I like the wind
When it blows
Me close
To you
I like the way
That you hold
Me the way
You do
La la la la
I like the way
That you say
That you'll always
Stay
I like the sun
When it shines
On the moon
This way
back to top
Deep Talk In The Shallow End (Ben Lee)
If you were here Id slap you senseless
Then Id ask you where youve been
Id tell you dont you know I worry
Sitting up each night in fear
And then Id tell you that Im angry
And Id say you did me wrong
And that I hate you cos you sneak into
My every single song
If you were here youd see the damage done
And then youd feel the shame
Id make you understand my pain
If you were round Id show you wounds and scars
The proof that you were here
And then Id make you cry like I did
If my point still was not clear
If you were here Id scream and
Maybe trash the room if I had time
And then one single word would break your spirit
Just the same as you broke mine
If you were here youd realize what you did
Stay for a million years
Id make you cry my tears
But youre not here
And Im not strong
And this whole thing has gone on too long
I need to leave this on my shelf
But instead I say it to myself
If you were here Id slap you senseless
If only you were here
Money Money Money (Afterworld)
[B. Andersson, B. Ulvaeus ]
[Spoken Intro]
We planned to make this cover song long before
this Abba boom that has been on recently.
We felt that there was some hidden potential in this song
and wanted to do our own version of it.
I work all night, I work all day
To pay the pills I have to pay
Ain't it sad?
And still there never seems to be
A single penny left for me
That's too bad
In my dreams I have a plan
If I got me a wealthy man
I wouldn't have to work at all
I'd fool around and have a ball
Money, money, money
Must be funny
In the rich man's world
Money, money, money
Always sunny
In the rich man's world
All the things I could do
If I had a little money
It's a rich man's world
It's a rich man's world
A man like that is hard to find
But I can't get him off my mind
Ain't it sad?
and if it happens to be free
I bet he wouldn't fancy me
That's too bad
So I must leave, I'll have to go
To Las Vegas or Monaco
And win a fortune in a game
My life will never be the same
All Over The World (Nana Mouskouri)
As I've looked around
At the life I'm living
More and more I found
Life is for the giving
Children know the way
Loving and forgiving
All over the world
The children are singing
All over the world
You see them at play
Why must we destroy
The joy they are bringing
All over the world
Let love show the way
Then we were very young
Love's a gift for sharing
But as we grow up
We forget the caring
Why must we go on
Distrusting and despairing
All over the world
The children are singing
All over the world
You see them at play
Why must we destroy
The joy they are bringing
All over the world
Let love show the way
Innocent and free
Hear the children's laughter
Why can't people be
Happy ever after
Let this song of hope
Ring from every rafter
All over the world
The children are singing
All over the world
You see them at play
Why must we destroy
The joy they are bringing
All over the world
Let love show the way
There in Neverland
See the children playing
Walking hand in hand
Innocent and playing
Can't we undrestand
A single word they're saying
All over the world
The children are singing
All over the world
You see them at play
Why must we destroy
The joy they are bringing
All over the world
Let love show the way
All over the world
The children are singing
All over the world
You see them at play
Why must we destroy
The joy they are bringing
All over the world
Let love show the way.
Autumn Leaves (Nana Mouskouri)
The falling leaves drift by the window
The autumn leaves of red and gold
I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sun-burned hands I used to hold
Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song
But I miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall
Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song
But I miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall.
Loving Him Was Easier (Nana Mouskouri)
I have seen the morning burning golden on the mountain in the skys
Aching with the feeling of the freedom of an eagle when he flies
Turning on the world the way he smiled upon my soul as I lay dying
Healing as the colors in the sunshine and the shadows of his eyes
Waking in the morning to the feeling of his fingers on my skin
Wiping out the traces of the people and the places that I've been
Teaching me that yesterday was something that I never thought of trying
Talking of tomorrow and the money, love and time we had to spend
Loving him was easier than anything I'll ever do again
Coming close together with a feeling that I've never know before in my time
He ain't ashamed to be a man or afraid to be a friend
I don't know the answer to the easy way he opened every door in my mind
But dreaming was as easy as believing it was never gonna end
And loving him was easier than anything I'll ever do again
Loving him was easier than anything I'll ever do again
Song For Liberty (Nana Mouskouri)
When you sing I'm singing with you liberty
When you cry I cry with you in sorrow
When you suffer I'm praying for you liberty
For your struggles will bring us a new tomorrow
Days of sad darkness and fear must one day crumble
For the force of your kindness and love make them tremble
When you sing I'm singing with you liberty
In the void of your absence I keep searching for you
Who are you dream illusion or just reality
Faith ideal desire revolution
I believe you're the symbol of our humanity
Lighting up the world for eternity
I can see why men die to defend you
Try to guard to protect and attend you
When you sing I'm singing with you liberty
With your tears or your joys I love you
Let us sing and rejoice make our own history
Songs of hope with one voice guide us to victory
Liberty, liberty
