I don't drink coffee I take tea my dear
I like my toast done on the side And you can hear it in my accent when I talk I'm an Englishman in New York See me walking down Fifth Avenue A walking cane here at my side I take it everywhere I walk I'm an Englishman in New York I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien I'm an Englishman in New York I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien I'm an Englishman in New York If "manners maketh man" as someone said Then he's the hero of the day It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile Be yourself no matter what they say Modesty, propriety can lead to notoriety You could end up as the only one Gentleness, sobriety are rare in this society At night a candle's brighter than the sun Takes more than combat gear to make a man Takes more than license for a gun Confront your enemies, avoid them when you can A gentleman will walk but never run If "manners maketh man" as someone said Then he's the hero of the day It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile Be yourself no matter what they say |

He deals the cards as a meditation
And those he plays never suspect He doesn't play for the money he wins He doesn't play for respect He deals the cards to find the answer The sacred geometry of chance The hidden law of a probable outcome The numbers lead the dance I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier I know that the clubs are weapons of war I know that diamonds mean money for this art That's not the shape of my heart He may play the jack of diamonds He may lay the queen of spades He may conceal a king in his hand While the memory of it fades I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier I know that the clubs are weapons of war I know that diamonds mean money for this art That's not the shape of my heart That's not the shape, the shape of my heart And if I told you that I loved you You maybe think there's something wrong I'm not a man of too many faces The mask I wear is one Those who speak know nothing And find out to their cost Like those who curse their luck in too many places And those who fear are lost I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier I know that the clubs are weapons of war I know that diamonds mean money for this art That's not the shape of my heart That's not the shape of my heart That's not the shape, the shape of my heart |

Round,
Like a circle in a spiral Like a wheel within a wheel Never ending or beginning On an ever-spinning reel Like a snowball down a mountain Or a carnival balloon Like a carousel that's burning Running rings around the moon Like a clock whose hands are sweeping Past the minutes of its face And the world is like an apple Rolling silently in space Like the circles that you find In the windmills of your mind Like a tunnel that you follow To a tunnel of its own Down a hollow to a cavern Where the sun has never shone Like a door that keeps revolving In a half-forgotten dream Like the ripples from a pebble Someone tosses in a stream Like a clock whose hands are sweeping Past the minutes of its face And the world is like an apple Rolling silently in space Like the circles that you find In the windmills of your mind Keys that jingle in your pocket Words that jangle in your head Why did summer go so quickly? Was it something that you said? Lovers walk along the shore Leave their footprints in the sand Is the sound of distant drumming Just the fingers of your hand? Pictures hanging in a hallway Or the fragment of this song Half-remembered names and faces But to whom do they belong? When you knew that it was over Were you suddenly aware That the autumn leaves were turning To the colour of her hair? Like a circle in a spiral Like a wheel within a wheel Never ending or beginning On an ever-spinning reel As the images unwind Like the circles that you find In the windmills of your mind |

In the quiet time of evening
When the stars assume their patterns And the day has made his journey And we wondered just what happened To the life we knew before the world changed When not a thing I held was true But you were kind to me and you reminded me That the world is not my play ground There are other things that matter And when a simple needs protecting My illusions all would shatter But you stayed in my corner The only world I know was upside down And now the world and me I know you carry me You see the patterns in the big sky Those constellations look like you and I Just like the patterns in the big sky We could be lost we could refuse to try But we made it through in the dark night Would those lucky guys turn out to be But that unusual blend of my funny friend and me I'm not as clever as I thought I was I'm not the boy I used to be because You showed me something different you showed me something pure I always seemed so certain but I was really never sure But you stayed and you called my name When others would have walked out on a lousy game And you could've made it through But your funny friend and me You see the patterns in the big sky Those constellations look like you and I That tiny planet in a bigger guy I don't know whether I should laugh or cry Just like the patterns in the big sky We'll be together till the end is nigh Don't know the answer or the reason why We'll stick together till the day we die If I had to do this all a second time I won't complain or make a fuss When the angels sing that that unlikely blend Are those two funny friends That's us |

If I caught the world in a bottle
And everything was still beneath the moon Without your love would it shine for me? If I was smart as Aristotle And understood the rings around the moon What would it all matter if you loved me? Here in your arms where the world is impossibly still With a million dreams to fulfill And a matter of moments until the dancing ends Here in your arms when everything seems to be clear Not a solitary thing would I fear Except when this moment comes near the dancing's end If I caught the world in an hourglass Saddled up the moon so we could ride Until the stars grew dim, Until One day you'll meet a stranger And all the noise is silenced in the room You'll feel that you're close to some mystery In the moonlight and everything shatters You feel as if you've known her all your life The world's oldest lesson in history Here in your arms where the world is impossibly still With a million dreams to fulfill And a matter of moments until the dancing ends Here in your arms when everything seems to be clear Not a solitary thing do I fear Except when this moment comes near the dancing's end Oh, if I caught the world in an hourglass Saddled up the moon and we would ride Until the stars grew dim Until the time that time stands still, Until |

When it's love you give.
I'll be a man of good faith. Then in love you'll live. I'll make a stand, I won't break. I'll be the rock you can build on. Be there when you're old. To have and to hold. When there's love inside. I swear I'll always be strong. Then there's reason why I'll prove to you we belong. I'll be the wall that protects you from the wind and the rain. From the hurt and the pain. Let's make it all for one and all for love. Let the one you hold be the one you want the one you need. 'Cause when it's all for one It's one for all. When there's someone that should know then just let your feelings show. And make it all for one and all for love. When it's love you make, I'll be the fire in your night. Then it's love you take I will defend, I will fight. I'll be there when you need me when honor's at stake. This vow I will make. Don't lay our love to rest. 'Cause we can stand up to the test. We got everything and more than we had planned more than the rivers that run the land. We've got it all in our hands. |

No earthly church has ever blessed our union
No state has ever granted us permission No family bond has ever made us two No company has ever earned commission No debt was paid no dowry to be gained No treaty over border land or power No semblance of the world outside remained To stain the beauty of this nuptial hour The secret marriage vow is never spoken The secret marriage can never be broken No flowers on the altar No white veil in your hair No maiden dress to alter No bible oath to swear The secret marriage vow is never spoken The secret marriage can never be broken |

There's a saying old
Says that love is blind Still we're often told "seek and ye shall find" So I'm going to seek A certain girl I've had in mind Looking everywhere Haven't found her yet She's[He's] a big affair I cannot forget Only girl[man] I ever Think of with regret I'd like to add her initial to my monogram Tell me Where is the shepherdess for this lost lamb There's somebody That I'm longing to see I hope that she Turns out to be Someone to watch over me This is a little lamb Who'd lost in the wood I know I could Always be good To one who'd watch over me Although I may not be the man some Girls think of as handsome To her heart I'll carry the key Won't you tell herplease To put on some speed Follow my lead Oh, how I need Someone to watch over me |

If the night turned cold
And the stars looked down And you hug yourself On the cold cold ground You wake the morning In a stranger's coat No-one would you see You ask yourself, 'Who'd watch for me?' My only friend, who could it be? It's hard to say it I hate to say it But it's probably me When your belly's empty And the hunger's so real And you're too proud to beg And too dumb to steal You search the city For your only friend No-one would you see You ask yourself, 'Who could it be?' A solitary voice to speak out and set me free I hate to say it I hate to say it But it's probably me You're not the easiest person I ever got to know And it's hard for us both to let our feelings show Some would say I should let you go your way You'll only make me cry If there's one guy, just one guy Who'd lay down his life for you and die It's hard to say it I hate to say it But it's probably me When the world's gone crazy, and it makes no sense And there's only one voice that comes to your defence And the jury's out And your eyes search the room And one friendly face is all you need to see If there's one guy, just one guy Who'd lay down his life for you and die It's hard to say it I hate to say it But it's probably me I hate to say it I hate to say But it's probably me I hate to say it I hate to say But it's probably me I hate to say it I hate to say But it's probably me |

Have you ever had the feeling that
the world's gone and left you behind Have you ever had the feeling that you're that close to losing your mind You look around each corner hoping that she's there You try to play it cool, perhaps Pretend that you don't care But it doesn't do a bit of good You've got to seek till you find or you'll never unwind Try to think that love's not around Still it's uncomfortably near My old heart ain't gaining no ground Because my angel eyes ain't here Angel eyes that old devil scent They glow unbearably bright Need I say that my love's misspent Misspent with angel eyes tonight So drink up all you people Order anything you see Have fun, you happy people The drink and the laugh's on me Pardon me, but I got to run The fact's uncomfortably clear Got to find who's now number one And why my angel eyes ain't here Tell me why my Angel Eyes ain't here Asking why my Angel Eyes ain't here Excuse me while I disappear |

In the moonlight
When the shadows play When the thought of what could happen Takes your breath away Sighs and whispers Quiet laughter in the air Unspoken invitations everywhere In the moonlight All the words you say Make it relatively easy To be swept away In the half-light Can we trust the way we feel Can we be sure that anything is real? Stars keep secrets as they wander indiscreetly While the echoes of a song go drifting by We must be careful not to lose our way completely Or the magic that we seek here We can't be sure will be here In the morning With the moon away And if in each other's arms Is where we're meant to stay In the love light When our eyes have grown accustomed to the daylight We'll see what waits for us to share For all the things we've dreamed of in the moonlight Will be there |

The very thought of you makes
My heart sing Like an April breeze On the wings of spring And you appear in all your splendour My one and only love The shadows fall And spread their mystic charms In the hush of night While you're in my arms I feel your lips so warm and tender My one and only love The touch of your hand is like heaven A heaven that I've never known The blush on your cheek Whenever I speak Tells me that you are my own You fill my eager heart with Such desire Every kiss you give Sets my soul on fire I give myself in sweet surrender My one and only love The blush on your cheek Whenever I speak Tells me that you are my own You fill my eager heart with Such desire Every kiss you give Sets my soul on fire I give myself in sweet surrender My one and only love My one and only love |

If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one
Drying in the colour of the evening sun Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away But something in our minds will always stay Perhaps this final act was meant To clinch a lifetime's argument That nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could For all those born beneath an angry star Lest we forget how fragile we are On and on the rain will fall Like tears from a star, like tears from a star On and on the rain will say How fragile we are, how fragile we are On and on the rain will fall Like tears from a star, like tears from a star On and on the rain will say How fragile we are, how fragile we are How fragile we are, how fragile we are |

Once that you've decided on a killing
First you make a stone of your heart And if you find that your hands are still willing Then you can turn a murder into art There really isn't any need for bloodshed You just do it with a little more finesse If you can slip a tablet into someone's coffee Then it avoids an awful lot of mess It's murder by numbers, one, two, three It's as easy to learn as your ABC Murder by numbers, one, two, three It's as easy to learn as your ABC Now if you have a taste for this experience And you're flushed with your very first success Then you must try a twosome or a threesome And you'll find your conscience bothers you much less Because murder is like anything you take to It's a habit-forming need for more and more You can bump off every member of your family And anybody else you find a bore Because it's murder by numbers, one, two, three It's as easy to learn as your ABC Murder by numbers, one, two, three It's as easy to learn as your ABC Now you can join the ranks of the illustrious In history's great dark hall of fame All our greatest killers were industrious At least the ones that we all know by name But you can reach the top of your profession If you become the leader of the land For murder is the sport of the elected And you don't need to lift a finger of your hand Because it's murder by numbers, one, two, three It's as easy to learn as your ABC Murder by numbers, one, two, three It's as easy to learn as your A, B, C, D, E |

Chase the dog star
Over the sea Home where my true love is waiting for me Rope the south wind Canvas the stars Harness the moonlight So she can safely go Round the Cape Horn to Valparaiso Red the port light Starboard the green How will she know of the devils I've seen Cross in the sky, star of the sea Under the moonlight, there she can safely go Round the Cape Horn to Valparaiso And every road I walked would take me down to the sea With every broken promise in my sack And every love would always send the ship of my heart Over the rolling sea If I should die And water's my grave She'll never know if I'm damned or I'm saved See the ghost fly over the sea Under the moonlight, there she can safely go Round the Cape Horn to Valparaiso |

Tied to the tracks and the train's fast coming
Strapped to the wing with the engine running You say that this wasn't in your plan Don't mess around with the demolition man Tied to a chair, and the bomb is ticking This situation was not of your picking You say that this wasn't in your plan Don't mess around with the demolition man I'm a walking nightmare, an arsenal of doom I kill conversation as I walk into the room I'm a three line whip, I'm the sort of thing they ban I'm a walking disaster, I'm a demolition man Tied to a chair, and the bomb is ticking This situation was not of your picking You say that this wasn't in your plan Don't mess around with the demolition man You come to me like a moth to the flame It's love you need but I don't play that game 'Cause you could be my greatest fan But I'm nobody's friend, I'm a demolition man I'm a walking nightmare, an arsenal of doom I kill conversation as I walk into the room I'm a three line whip, I'm the sort of thing they ban I'm a walking disaster, I'm a demolition man Demolition man |
