I’m going to find a happy
I’m going to find a happy
I’m going to find a happy place

Seven thousand eyes are watching
Marching home and no one’s touching
Army of the city workers
Secretaries, lawyers, brokers

A moment of madness
It's happened before
It could turn into sadness or a civil war
You've got me changing all I ever thought

When you first got so mad lost your rag
Trying to some save some trees

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

How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man
Yes, and how many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand

Yes, and how many times must the cannon balls fly
Before they're forever banned
The answer, my friend, is blowin', is blowin'

My mamma done told me,
when I was in pigtails,
My mamma done told me, Hon,
A man is a two-face
he'll give you the big eye,
And when the sweet talking's done.
A man is a two-face,
A worrisome thing who'll leave you to sing,

I won’t spend my life
Waiting for an angel to descend
Searching for a rainbow with an end
Now that I’ve found you I’ll call off the search
And I won’t spend my life
Gazing at the stars up in the sky
Wondering if love will pass me by
Now that I’ve found you I’ll call off the search

If you chase me
I'll be a firefly
In the midnight sky
I'll intoxicate you

Chase me
I'll be yours forever for a day
Chase me or I'll fly away

Поезд, вползающий на холм .

Каждое утро около половины девятого
Мама будит меня словами "Не опоздай!"
Я добираюсь до офиса,
Стараясь сосредоточиться,
Моя жизнь – медленный поезд,
Вползающий на холм,

Every morning about half past eight,
My Mama wakes me says, ”Don't be late”,
I get to the office,
Trying 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

Got an angel, on one shoulder and a devil on the other,
And his good advice that I take.
I live with a sprinkle of a little sin,
When the world is asleep I'm awake.

With the roll of my dirty dice,
I'm only following the devil's advice.
I'll take your love and leave my kind regards,

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

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,

There's a secret, the golden flower knows
When you're falling in love
There's a silence, the ending darkness feels
When you're singing with love

Remembering life, a good blessed life
I'm forgetting all my troubles
I'm forgetting all my troubles

C F C
I know it doesn't seem that way
F Am Dm
But maybe it's the perfect day
G Dm
Even though the bills are piling
G C

Ooh
The first time that i saw you
I said "for goodness sake
That man's got the power
He's a charmer with a snake"
I was thrilled and fascinated
But somehow liberated
When you took me to a place i'd never been.

The first time that i saw you
I said "for goodness sake
That man's got the power
He's a charmer with a snake"
I was thrille and fascinated
But somehow liberated
When you took me to a place i've never been.
You showed me lots of things i've never seen

You're beautiful so silently
It lies beneath a shade of blue
It struck me so violently
When I looked at you

But others pass, the never pause
To feel that magic in your hand
To me you're like a wild rose

When you fall in love
Too careless and too fast
It may never last
It's frightening view
You'll fall down with a bump
I never fall, I always jump
There's a certain risk
What can your heart stand?

She is like the lady down the road
Or just the woman up the street,
Like any mother you may know.
To me, she is the one who had it planned
To lead us all to Wonderland,
She always wanted us to go,
And she said:

I'd love to kill you with a kiss
I'd like to strike you down with bliss
I'd like to tie you up in knots
until your heart stops

I'd love to kill you with a glance
I'd like to put you in a trance
I'd like to drug you with my scent

If there was an idiot school
I would be the top of the class
I know I acted the fool
I know I failed on my…

Ask me why I left you high and dry
Only to wind up lonely
How could I be so cruel?

If you were a cowboy, I would trail you
If you were a piece of wood, I’d nail you to the floor
If you were a sailboat, I would sail you to the shore
If you were a river, I would swim you
If you were a house, I would live in you all my days
If you were a preacher, I’d begin to change my ways

Sometimes I believe in fate

If you're a cowboy I would trail you,
If you're a piece of wood I'd nail you to the floor.
If you're a sailboat I would sail you to the shore.
If you're a river I would swim you,
If you're a house I would live in you all my days.
If you're a preacher I'd begin to change my ways.

Sometimes I believe in fate,

Every night we fall into bed,
But it's all in my head.
Every night we fall in a heap,
And you kiss me to sleep.
And baby all the sleepy things you say,
Blow me away.
Till the next day,
When I find what we did and we said,

It's coming on Christmas,
They're cutting down trees.
They're putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace,
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on.

But it don't snow here,
Stays pretty green.

"Show me, how you do that trick,
The one, that makes me scream", - he said.
"The one, that makes me laugh", - he said.
And threw his arms around my neck.
"Show me, how you do it,
And I promise you, I promise, that
I'll run away with you.
I'll run away with you."

Show me how you do that trick
The one that makes me scream he said
The one that makes me laugh he said
And threw his arms around my neck
Show me how you do it
And I promise you I promise that
I'll run away with you
I'll run away with you

Time keeps movin' on,
Friends they turn away, no no no
But I keep on movin' on
But I never found out why
I keep pushing so hard the dream,
I keep tryin' to make it right
Through another lonely day.

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

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 him - when youre losing your lover
You're only burning - a torch you can't lose

I won't spend my life, waiting for an angel to descend,
searching for a rainbow with an end,
now that I've found you
I'll call off the search.

and I won't spend my life, gazing at the stars up in the sky
wondering if love will pass me by
now that I've found you

When the only words heard spoken
Is "Babies, where are you?"
And the only word heard screaming
Is "Why?"
Through the cold, cold wind comes a frosty mist
Of unknown innocence kissed
And everything is nothing
'Til it's far away

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

Music by Mike Batt
Lyrics: Traditional

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

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.

Katie Melua “Nine Million Bicycles”

There are nine million bicycles in Beijing
That’s a fact,
It’s a thing we can’t deny
Like the fact that I will love you till I die.

We are twelve billion light years from the edge,

There are nine million bicycles in Beijing
That's a fact,
It's a thing we can't deny
Like the fact that I will love you till I die.

We are twelve billion light years from the edge,
That's a guess,
No-one can ever say it's true

There are nine million bicycles in Beijing
That's a fact
It's a thing we can't deny
Like the fact that I will love you till I die

We are twelve billion light years from the edge
That's a guess
No one can ever say it's true

I never walked near the edge
Used to fear falling
I never swam far from shore
Never tried the secret door

But when you give me love
When you give me love

I never walked near the edge
Used to fear falling
I never swam far from shore
Never tried the secret door

But when you give me love
When you give me love

I never walked near the edge
Used to fear falling
I never swam far from shore
Never tried the secret door

But when you give me love
When you give me love

Piece by Piece
First of all must go
Your scent upon my pillow
And then I'll say goodbye
to your whispers in my dreams.
And then our lips will part
In my mind and in my heart,
Cos your kiss

---------------------------------------------
Часть за частью
Прежде всего должен улетучиться
Твой запах с моей подушки,
И тогда я скажу "Прощай"
Твоему шепоту в моих снах,
И тогда наши губы разомкнутся
В моих мыслях и в моем сердце,

First of all must go
Your scent upon my pillow
And then I'll say goodbye
to your whispers in my dreams.
And then our lips will part
In my mind and in my heart,
Cos your kiss
Went deeper than my skin.

First of all must go
Your scent upon my pillow
And then I'll say goodbye
To your whispers in my dreams
And then our lips will part
In my mind and in my heart
Cause your kiss
Went deeper than my skin

First of all must go
Your scent upon my pillow
And then I'll say goodbye
to your whispers in my dreams.
And then our lips will part
In my mind and in my heart,
Cos your kiss
Went deeper than my skin.

My father is a doctor, he never told me
about this problem that I've got.
I've never had it, it feels awful
it must be something that I caught

I can't breathe, I can't eat
I hallucinate in my sleep
I get a feeling whenever you're near

RED BALLOONS

I put my heart in a red balloon
But I let it go too soon
Let it go on the boulevard
Where wicked winds blow so hard
Maybe had I looked up, I would have seen that...

Scary films don’t scare me now,
That you’re around.
Since you been around;
Nowadays I never cry,
When the monster kills the guy,
And the psychopathic wife kills the husband with a knife

Hey baby, thanks for clearing my dreams,

I'm sittin' in the window of a street café
Watchin' you walking by each day,
It seems that you always wanna look my way
Hey, you can't deny, boy,
You're such a shy boy.

So good looking you seem to be
But you're too tongue-tied to say hi to me,

I heard that lately,
You’ve gone through a mysterious change.
People say you’re secretive,
And you’ve been acting strange.
They say there’s magic afoot stay away they all warn,
But to me you were magical from the day that you were born.

I have become spellbound,

If a black man is racist, is it okay?
When it's the white man's racism that made him that way,
Because the bully's the victim they say,
By some sense they're all the same.

Because the line between,
Wrong and right,
Is the width of a thread,

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,

How can I think I'm standing strong,
Yet feel the air beneath my feet?
How can happiness feel so wrong?
How can misery feel so sweet?

How can you let me watch you sleep,
Then break my dreams the way you do?
How can I have got in so deep?

Everybody told me to walk away
Though you made me feel good.
I was just a fool, didn't hear them say
Love is like a wild wood.

Something in the way I was lost and found
Something made it feel right
Spirited away by a haunting sound

Broken people get recycled
And I hope that I will sometimes be thrown off the pathways
What I thought was my way home
Wasn't the place I know
No, I'm not afraid of changing,
Certain, nothing's certain
What we own becomes our prison
My possessions will be gone

I don't know I don't know
Where I'll go or what I'll do
It makes no difference what I do without you
Oh I love you my darling
But I'll have to let you leave
Goodbye it's the last you'll hear of me
Well I found the bluebird
High on a mountainside

The sun is only shining like it always does
But I never noticed it in the sky before
And you don't need to worry
'Cause I need your love, my friend

There's a strong kind of feeling when I know you're near
Nobody alive can take it away from me
And I feel like I've known you for a thousand years

How can I think I'm standing strong,
Yet feel the air beneath my feet?
How can happiness feel so wrong?
How can misery feel so sweet?

How can you let me watch you sleep,
Then break my dreams the way you do?
How can I have got in so deep?

How can I think I'm standing strong,
Yet feel the air beneath my feet?
How can happiness feel so wrong?
How can misery feel so sweet?

How can you let me watch you sleep,
Then break my dreams the way you do?
How can I have got in so deep?

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

Who are you my tiny alien
Why do you love to hide
Who are you my tiny alien
What can you see inside

I won’t make a sound
I won’t shoot you down
With my science, and reliance on everything I thought I knew

I will not sell my toy collection
If i did i would weep
Who`s to say what you need and what you don`t
On a desert island they`re the things i`ll keep

Some children had their parents read them stories
Well i heard mine directly from the source
Captain kirk shared his tales and glories

Ooh baby I'm twisted
Ooh baby I'm twisted

I shouldn't keep dreaming of you
It's something I swore I wouldn't do
My friends say don't go there
It's a road to nowhere

Under the cherry moon
Под вишневой луной
How can I stand 2 stay where I am?
Poor butterfly who don't understand
Why can't I fly away in a special sky?
If I don't find my destiny soon
I'll die in your arms under the cherry moon

Missing the train every morning at 8:52,
Sipping coffee from the same cup as you.
The sharing of secrets we thought no one else knew,
That's what I miss about you.

The new way that love had made me see,
Your bashful grin when you asked if I would like your key.
The knowing way you used to caress me,

How can I say it? Where do I begin,
Everything you are is just what it says on the tin.

Words that were honest, spoken from the heart,
Everything you did was just what you said from the start.

You are the angel with whom I would gladly live in sin,
Thanks for being exactly what it says on the tin.

When you taught me how to dance

When you taught me how to dance
Years ago with misty eyes
Every step and silent glance
Every move a sweet surprise

Someone must have taught you well

There are nine million bicycles in Beijing
That's a fact
It's a thing we can't deny
Like the fact that I will love you till I die

We are twelve billion light years from the edge
That's a guess
No one can ever say it's true

"Moonshine"

Well my eyes are closed, but my heart's on fire
Because the clock is approaching the midnight hour
I leave my window open, all the lights are out
And from the darkest night comes the lightest shout

Moonshine, moonshine moon
