cabaret
What good is sitting, alone in your room?
But come, hear the music play!
Life is a cabaret, old chum!
Come to the cabaret!
Put down the knitting, the book and the broom
It is time for a holiday
Life is a cabaret, old chum!
Come to the cabaret!
Come taste the wine
Come hear the band
Come blow that horn
Start celebrating
Right this way your table´s waiting
What good´s commiting prophet of doom?
To wipe every smile away
Life is a cabaret , old chum!
So come to the cabaret!
I used to have this girlfriend known as Elsie
With whom I shared for sordid rooms in Chelsea
She wasn´t what you call a blushing flower
As a matter of fact she rented by the hours
The day she died the neighbours
came to snicker her
Well, that is what comes from
too much pills and liquor
But when I saw her laid down like
She was the happiest corpes I´d ever seen
I think of Elsie till this very day
I remember how she´d turned to me and say
What good is sitting all alone in your room?
Come hear the music play
Life is a cabaret, old chum!
Come to the cabaret!
And as for me
And as for me
I made my mind up back in Chelsea
When I go I am going like Elsie
Stop by admitting
From cradle to doom
It isn´t that born to stay
Life is a cabaret, old chum!
It´s only a cabaret, old chum!
And I love a cabaret!
for my lover
Two weeks in a Virginia jail
For my lover for my lover
Twenty thousand dollar bail
For my lover for my lover
And everybody thinks
That I’me the fool
But they don’t get
Any love from you
The things we won’t do for love
I’d climb a mountain if I had to
And risk my life so I could have you
You, you, you…
Everyday I’m psychoanalyzed
For my lover for my lover
They dope me up and I tell them lies
For my lover for my lover
I follow my heart
And leave my head to ponder
Deep in this love
No man can shake
I follow my heart
And leave my mind to wonder
Is this love worth
The sacrifices I make
La vida tómbola
Si yo fuera Maradona
viviría como él
si yo fuera Maradona
frente a cualquier portería
si yo fuera Maradona
nunca m’equivocaría
si yo fuera Maradona
perdido en cualquier lugar.
La vida es una tómbola…
de noche y de día…
la vida es una tómbola
y arriba y arriba….
Si yo fuera Maradona
viviría con él
…mil cohetes… mil amigos
y lo que venga a mil por cien…
si yo fuera Maradona
saldría en mondovision
para gritarle a la FIFA
¡Que ellos son el gran ladrón!
La vida es una tómbola…
de noche y de día…
la vida es una tómbola
y arriba y arriba….
Si yo fuera Maradona
viviría como él
porque el mundo es una bola
que se vive a flor de piel
Si yo fuera Maradona
frente a cualquier porquería
nunca me equivocaría…
Si yo fuera Maradona
y un partido que ganar
si yo fuera Maradona
perdido en cualquier lugar…
La vida es una tómbola
de noche y de día…
la vida es una tómbola
y arriba y arriba….
i’ve got to see you again
Lines on your face don’t bother me
Down in my chair when you dance over me
I can’t help myself
I’ve got to see you again
Late in the night when I’m all alone
And I look at the clock and I know you’re
not home
I can’t help myself
I’ve got to see you again
I could almost go there
Just to watch you be seen
I could almost go there
Just to live in a dream
But no I won’t go for any of those things
To not touch your skin is not why I sing
I can’t help myself
I’ve got to see you again
I could almost go there
Just to watch you be seen
I could almost go there
Just to live in a dream
No I won’t go to share you with them
But oh even though I know where
you’ve been
I can’t help myself
I’ve got to see you again
I can’t help myself
I’ve got to see you again
brothers in arms
These mist covered mountains
Are a home now for me
But my home is the lowlands
And always will be
Some day you’ll return to
Your valleys and your farms
And you’ll no longer burn
To be brothers in arms
Through these fields of destruction
Baptisms of fire
I’ve witnessed your suffering
As the battles raged higher
And though they did hurt me so bad
In the fear and alarm
You did not desert me
My brothers in arms
There’s so many different worlds
So many differents suns
And we have just one world
But we live in different ones
Now the sun’s gone to hell
And the moon’s riding high
Let me bid you farewell
Every man has to die
But it’s written in the starlight
And every line on your palm
We’re fools to make war
On our brothers in arms
Gangsta’s paradise
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I take a look at my life and realise there’s none left
‘Cause I’ve been brassing and laughing so long that
Even my mamma thinks that my mind is gone
But I aint never crossed a man that didn’t deserve it
Me be treated like a punk, you know that’s unheard of
You better watch how you talking, and where you walking
Or you and your homies might be lined in chalk
I really hate to trip but I gotta lope
As they croak I see myself in the pistal smoke … fool
I’m the kinda G that little homies want to be like
On my knees in the night, saying prayers in the street light
They been spending most their lives living in the gangsta’s paradise
They been spending most their lives living in the gangsta’s paradise
We keep spending most our lives living in the gangsta’s paradise
We keep spending most our lives living in the gangsta’s paradise
They got the situation, they got me facing
I can’t live a normal life, I was raised by the strip
So I gotta be down with the hood team
Too much television watching got me chasing dreams
I’m an educated fool with my knee on my mind
Got my 10 in my hand and a gleam in my eye
I’m a loped out gangsta set trippin banger
And my homies is down so gonna rouse my anger … fool
Death aint nothing but a heart beat away
I’m living life do or die, what can I say
I’m 23 never will I live to see 24
The way things is going I don’t know
Tell me why are we so blind to see
That the ones we hurt are you and me
They been spending most their lives living in the gangsta’s paradise
They been spending most their lives living in the gangsta’s paradise
We keep spending most our lives living in the gangsta’s paradise
We keep spending most our lives living in the gangsta’s paradise
Power and the money, money and the power
Minute after minute, hour after hour
Everybody’s running, but half of them aint looking
What’s going on in the kitchen, but I don’t know what’s cooking
They say I’ve got to learn but nobody’s here to teach me
If they can’t understand it, how can they reach me
I guess they can’t
I guess they won’t
I guess they front
That’s why I know my life is out of luck … fool
Tell me why are we so blind to see
That the ones we hurt are you and me
Tell me why are we so blind to see
That the ones we hurt are you and me …
Queen Bee
Sweet are the flowers in my garden
And the bees are very pleased
And there’s the buzz as they make the honey
Then Queen Bee comes and takes all the honey
Honey for the kids in the hall
I can hear them all singing away
Oh yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Queen Bee comes and takes all the honey
Honey for the kids in the hall
I can hear them all singing away
Oh yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Oh yeah
Sweetest is the honey in the kitchen
And the bees are very pleased
And there’s the buzz when they see the honey
Then Queen Bee comes and takes all the honey
Honey for the kids in the hall
I can hear them all singing away
Oh yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Queen Bee comes and takes all the honey
Honey for the kids in the hall
I can hear them all singing away
Oh yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Oh yeah
Just like a hungry sparrow
Eating a piece of bread
Ain’t got the time to see the day
Trying to keep the family fed
Queen Bee comes and takes all the honey
Honey for the kids in the hall
I can hear them all singing away
Oh yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Oh yeah
Queen Bee comes and takes all the honey
Honey for the kids in the hall
I can hear them all singing away
Oh yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Queen Bee comes and takes all the honey
Honey for the kids in the hall
I can hear them all singing away
