MAKING LOVIES
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Expresso Love
Music & lyrics by Dire Straits & Mark Knopfler 1980
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
She gets the sun in the daytime
Perfume in the dusk
And she comes out in the night time
With the honeysuckle musk
Because she smells just like a rose
And she tastes just like a peach
She got me walking the wildlife goes
I'd do anything to reach her
And she was made in heaven
Heaven's in the world
Is this just expresso love
You know I'm crazy for the girl
She call me just to talk
She's my lover she's a friend of mine
She says hey mister you wanna take a walk
In the wild west end sometime
And I get trouble with my breathing
She says boys don't know anything
But I know what I want
I want everything
Well I feel so good cos I feel so good
And I feel so good cos it feels so right
I was made to go with my girl
Like a saxophone was made to go with the night
And she can raise one eyebrow
Put her hand on my hip
And I close one eye now
Sweat on her lip
And I surrender to the fever
I surrender to the will of the night
She love me so tender I got to believe her
Love ? Expresso love's alright
I don't want no sugar in it
Thank you very much
All wired up on it all fired up on it
Expresso touch
Hey maestro expresso
It's just another one just like the other one
Hey maestro expresso
Is this another one just like the other one

'Dolly Summers was a simple girl
From a mid-west family
With a stucco home and her own Mustang
And a charge account at Sears
She had everything that a girl could want
To live happy for the rest of her years..."

"She can kill with a smile
She can wound with her eyes
And she can ruin your faith with her casual lies
And she only reveals
What she wants you to see
She hides like a child
But she's always a woman to me
She can lead you to love
She can take you or leave you
She can ask for the truth
But she'll never believe you
And she'll take what you give her
As long as it's free
Yeah, she steals like a thief
But she's always a woman to me
Oh, she takes care of herself
She can wait if she wants
She's ahead of her time
Oh, and she never gives out
And she never gives in
She just changes her mind
And she'll promise you more
Than the Garden of Eden
Then she'll carelessly cut you
And laugh while you're bleeding
But she'll bring out the best
And the worst you can be
Blame it all on yourself
'Cause she's always a woman to me
Oh, she takes care of herself
She can wait if she wants
She's ahead of her time
Oh, and she never gives out
And she never gives in
She just changes her mind
She is frequently kind
And she's suddenly cruel
She can do as she pleases
She's nobody's fool
But she can't be convicted
She's earned her degree
And the most she will do
Is throw shadows at you
But she's always a woman to me..."

A Word In Spanish
Music & lyrics by Elton John & Bernie Taupin 1988
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't know why
I just know I do
I just can't explain
In this language that I use
Something leaves me speechless
Each time that you approach
Each time you glide right through me
As if I was a ghost
If I only could tell you
If you only would listen
I've got a line or two to use on you
I've got a romance we could christen
And there's a word in Spanish I don't understand
But I heard it in a film one time spoken by the leading man
He said it with devotion, he sounded so sincere
And the words he spoke in Spanish brought the female lead to tears
A word in Spanish, a word in Spanish
If you can't comprehend
Read it in my eyes
If you don't understand it's love
In a thin disguise
And what it takes to move you
Each time that you resist
Is more than just a pretty face
To prove that I exist
When manners make no difference
And my gifts all lay undone
I trade my accent in on chance
And fall back on a foreign tongue

"Once I had a heart cold as ice
Love to me was only for fun
I'd make a mark for each broken heart
Like notches on the butt of a gun
Once I had a trick up my sleeve
A reputation all over town
I was heartless and cold, wherever I'd go
I shot down every young boy I found
Yes I used to be a moonlight bandit
I used to be a heartbreak kid
Then I met you and the next thing I knew
There I was, oh, shot full of love
Who'd have thought that someone like you
Could take a desperado like me
But , oh, here I am, I'm as meek as a lamb
With my bleeding heart there at your feet
Yes I used to be a moonlight bandit
I used to be a heartbreak kid
Then I met you and the next thing I knew
There I was, oh, shot full of love..."

Get Lucky
Music & lyrics by Mark Knopfler 2009
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm better with my muscles
Than I am with my mouth
I worked the fairgrounds in the summer
And go pick fruit down south
And when I'm feel them chilly winds
Where the weather goes I follow
Pack up my traveling things go with the swallows
And I might get lucky now and then
You win some, you might get lucky now and then
You win some
I wake up every morning
Keep on eye on what I spent
Gotta think about eating
Gotta think about paying the rent
I always think it's funny
It gets me everytime
I wonder about the happiness and money
Tell it to the breadline
But you might get lucky now and then
You win some, you might get lucky now and then
You win some
Now I'm rambling through this meadow happy as a man can be
Think I just lay me down under this old tree
On and on we go through this old world of shuffling
If you got a truffle dog, you can go truffling
But you might get lucky now and then
You win some, you might get lucky now and then
You win some

"Full-time living on a half-time schedule
Always trying to make everybody feel special
Learning when to brake and when to hit the pedal
Working hard to look good 'til we die
A critical reason there's a population
Raising eyebrows and a new generation
Rosie the Riveter with renovations
And always gets better with wine
Redesigning women
Running the world while we're cleaning up the kitchen
Making bank, shaking hands, driving 80
Trying to get home just to feed the baby
Skipping the bread for the butter
Changing our minds like we change our hair color
Yeah, ever since the beginning
We've been redesigning women
Pulling up the floors and changing out the curtains
Some of us are saints and some of us are surgeons
Made in God's image, just a better version
And breaking every Jell-O mold
And when we love someone, we take 'em to heaven
And if the shoe fits, we're gonna buy 11
How we get it done, we like to keep 'em guessing
But secretly, we all know..."

A gypsy wind is blowing warm tonight
The sky is starlit and the time is right
And still you're tellin' me you have to go
Before you leave there's something you should know
Yeah something you should know babe
I've seen you smiling in the summer sun
I've seen your long hair flying when you run
I've rnade my mind up that it's meant to be
Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
Out where the rivers meet the sounding sea
You're high above me now, you're wild and free ah but
Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
Some people say that love's a losin' game
You start with fire but you lose the flame
The ashes smolder but the warmth's soon gone
You end up cold and lonely on your own
I'll take my chances babe I'II risk it all
I'll winyour love or I'II take the fall
I've made my mind up girl it's meant to be
Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
It's written down some where, it's not to be
You're high above me flyin' wild and free
Oh but someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
Out where the rivers meetthe sounding sea
I feel it in my soul, it's meant to be
Oh someday lady you'll accomp'ny me

Mona Lisas And Mad Hatters
Music & lyrics by Elton John & Bernie Taupin 1972
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
And now I know
Spanish Harlem are not just pretty words to say
I thought I knew
But now I know that rose trees never grow in New York City
Until you've seen this trash can dream come true
You stand at the edge while people run you through
And I thank the Lord there's people out there like you
I thank the Lord there's people out there like you
While Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters
Sons of bankers, sons of lawyers
Turn around and say good morning to the night
For unless they see the sky
But they can't and that is why
They know not if it's dark outside or light
This Broadway's got
It's got a lot of songs to sing
If I knew the tunes I might join in
I'll go my way alone
Grow my own, my own seeds shall be sown in New York City
Subway's no way for a good man to go down
Rich man can ride and the hobo he can drown
And I thank the Lord for the people I have found
I thank the Lord for the people I have found
And now I know
Spanish Harlem are not just pretty words to say
I thought I knew
But now I know that rose trees never grow in New York City
Subway's no way for a good man to go down
Rich man can ride and the hobo he can drown
And I thank the Lord for the people I have found
I thank the Lord for the people I have found

Blue eyes
Baby's got blue eyes
Like a deep blue sea
On a blue blue day

When the morning comes
I'll be far away
And I say
Blue eyes
Holding back the tears
Holding back the pain
Baby's got blue eyes
And she's alone again
Blue eyes
Baby's got blue eyes
Like a clear blue sky
Watching over me
Blue eyes
I love blue eyes
When I'm by her side
Where I long to be
I will see
Blue eyes laughing in the sun
Laughing in the rain
Baby's got blue eyes
And I am home, and I am HOME AGAIN

"Je me souviens du bord de mer
Avec ses filles au teint si clair
Elles avaient l'âme hospitalière
C'était pas fait pour me déplaire
Naives autant qu'elles étaient belles
On pouvait lire dans leurs prunelles
Qu'elles voulaient pratiquer le sport
Pour garder une belle ligne de corps
Et encore, et encore
Z'auraient pus danser la java
Z'étaient chouettes les filles du bord de mer
Z'étaient faites pour qui savait y faire
Y'en avait une qui s'apelait Eve
C'était vraiment la fille d'mes rêves
Elle n'avait qu'un seul défaut
Elle se baignait plus qu'il ne faut
Plutôt qu'd'aller chez le masseur
Elle invitait le premier baigneur
A tâter du côté de son coeur
En douceur, en douceur
En douceur et profondeur..."

Healing Hands
Music & lyrics by Elton John & Bernie Taupin 1989
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I never dreamed I could cry so hard
That ain't like a man
I could fly like a bird some days
Had a place where I could land
I could have sworn we were all locked in
Ain't that what you said
I never knew it could hurt so bad
When the power of love is dead
But giving into the nighttime
Ain't no cure for the pain
You gotta wade into the water
You gotta learn to live again
And reach out for her healing hands
Reach out for her healing hands
There's a light, where the darkness ends
Touch me now and let me see again
Rock me now in your gentle healing hands
I never knew love like poison
That burned like a fire
All I ever wanted was a reason
To drown in your eyes
I never knew sleep so restless
Empty arms so cold
That's not the way it's supposed to be
It ain't the spell that I was sold

Now the party's over
I'm so tired
Then I see you coming
Out of nowhere
Much communication in a motion
Without conversation or a notion
Avalon
When the samba takes you
Out of nowhere
And the background's fading
Out of focus
Yes the picture's changing
Every moment
And your destination
You don't know it
Avalon
When you bossanova
There's no holding
Would you have me dancing
Out of nowhere

Moving stranger,
Does it really matter,
As long as you're not afraid to feel?
Touch me, hold me.
How my open arms ache!
Try to fall for me.
How I'm moved.
How you move me
With your beauty's potency.
You give me life.
Please don't let me go.
You crush the lily in my soul.
Moving liquid
Yes, you are just as water.
You flow around all that comes in your way.
Don't think it over,
It always takes you over,
And sets your spirit dancing.
How I'm moved.
How you move me
With your beauty's potency.
You give me life.

Muziek & tekst: Will Tura & Nelly Byl 1970

Linda was met een vriendin
toen ik haar gisteren heb gezien,
en ze heeft meteen naar jou gevraagd
Ze zei: het leven is soms dwaas,
't is wel jammer, maar helaas
hij en ik, we gingen uit elkaar
En Linda heeft tot 's avonds laat
over jou gepraat
Ja, Linda heeft tot 's avonds laat
over jou gepraat
Ze is nog altijd even blond
maar een droevig trekje om haar mond
bewees dat ze veel leed had uitgestaan
Ze had geen make-up aangebracht
alsof het nu geen zin meer had
nu je uit haar leven was gegaan
Ze zei ik denk nog dikwijls weer
aan al die dagen van weleer
het was de mooiste tijd uit mijn bestaan
Ze leek zo eenzaam en verward
en toen zij je naam uitsprak
zag ik tranen in haar ogen staan
En Linda heeft tot 's avonds laat
over jou gepraat
Ja, Linda heeft tot 's avonds laat
over jou gepraat
Doch nee dit is de waarheid niet
maar je hebt nog zo'n verdriet
dat ik jou onmogelijk zeggen kan
waar ik gisteren Linda zag
en hoe stralend mooi ze was
in de armen van een andere man
Linda denkt aan jou niet meer
want ze heeft geen enkele keer
naar jou gevraagd
naar jou gevraagd

Hey, I saw your guy with a different girl.
Looks like he's in another world.
Run and hide Sunday girl.
Hurry up, hurry up and wait.
I stay away all week and still I wait.

Please come see what your loving means to me.
She can't catch up with the working crowd.
The weekend mood and she's feeling proud.
Live in dreams, Sunday girl.
"Baby, I would like to go out tonight".
"If I go with you my folks'll get uptight".
Stay at home, Sunday girl.
Ohh...
Hé, j'ai vu ton mec avec une autre fille.
Il semblait dans un autre monde.
Cours te cacher Sunday Girl.
Quand je t'ai revu l'été,
J'ai décidé si ton amour était pareil au mien,
Je pourrais être Sunday Girl.
Dépêche-toi, dépêche-toi et attends.
Toute la semaine absent et pourtant j'attends.
J'ai le cafard, je t'en prie viens voir
Ce que ton amour représente pour moi.
Dépêche-toi, dépêche-toi et attends.

Make love and promise it will always be

Emotions can deceive you
Well this I vow, here and now

Take love for better, take love for worse
But never ever take love for granted

I've a constant ache in the morning light
It's on account of the night before
Some Park Lane lady in a shady bar
Took a fancy to the watch I wore
But I can still remember how she laughed at me
As I spun around and hit the bed
She said thank you honey, forget about the money
This pretty watch'll do instead
City living woman, you're so static
Matching your men with a hook and eye
If you're gonna spend the summer in New York City
Them women oh oh oh they're gonna slice your pie
Said you're so static, baby I've had it
Rolling in a yellow cab
Downtown hustlers trying to pull some muscle
If they catch you, oh oh oh it could turn out bad
It's a Show me what you want, I'll show you what I've got
I can show you a real good time
She's a friend indeed of a friend in need
But you'll be sorry when she leaves you crying

The One
Music & lyrics by Elton John & Bernie Taupin 1992

I saw you dancing out the ocean
Running fast along the sand
A spirit born of earth and water
Fire flying from your hands
In the instant that you love someone
In the second that the hammer hits
Reality runs up your spine
And the pieces finally fit
And all I ever needed was the one
Like freedom fields where wild horses run
When stars collide like you and I
No shadows block the sun
You're all I've ever needed
Baby you're the one
There are caravans we follow
Drunken nights in dark hotels
When chances breathe between the silence
Where sex and love no longer gel
For each man in his time is Cain
Until he walks along the beach
And sees his future in the water
A long lost heart within his reach

Feed Me

Don't close the shades
I'm scared of the darkness
I'm cold as a razor blade
Inches from madness
Don't let me sleep here
They're all trying to kill me
I've seen the walls moving
They've all heard me screaming, screaming
Feed me
Feed my needs and then just leave me
Let me go back where you found me
'Cause I miss my basement
The sweet smell of new paint
The warmth and the comforts of home
So feed me
Give me my treatment and free me
My arms are so hungry so feed me
The room's so distorted
And filled with mad shadows
I feel like a carcass
White like a marrow bone
It all seems so long ago
I remember them laughing
I heard the ambulance scream
I saw the red light flashing, flashing

"...Just across from Friday
The weekend circus rolls
I cross my heart turn on the charm
I say my prayers between two hungry arms...
Somethings so young and pretty
Should never be released
We place our bets we take our pick
They wind up in the belly of the beast
And when you can't get what you want
You take anything you can
So I wear this suit of wolves at night
I slip it on how come it feels so right...."
