STRANGE LITTLE GIRL
Music & lyrics The Stranglers
(Covered by Tori Amos)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
one day you see a strange little girl look at you
one day you see a strange little girl feeling blue
she'd run to the town one day
leaving home and the country fair
just beware
when you're there
strange little girl
she didn't know how to live in a town that was rough
it didn't take long before she knew she had enough
walking home in her wrapped up world
she survived but she's feeling old
and she found all things cold
strange little girl
where are you going?
strange little girl
where are you going?
do you know where you could be going?
walking home in her wrapped up world
she survived but she's feeling old
cuz she found all things cold
strange little girl
where are you going?
do you know where you could be going?

Everybody's happy (Ooh)
Here come the sun king
Quando para mucho mi amore de felice corazón
Mundo paparazzi mi amore chicka ferdy parasol
Questo obrigado tanta mucho que canite carousel..."

Tonight
Music & lyrics by Elton John & Bernie Taupin 1976
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tonight
Do we have to fight again
Tonight
I just want to go to sleep
Turn out the light
But you want to carry grudges
Nine times out of ten
I see the storm approaching
Long before the rain starts falling
Tonight
Does it have to be the old thing
Tonight
It's late, too late
To chase the rainbow that you're after
I'd like to find a compromise
And place it in your hands
My eyes are blind, my ears can't hear
And I cannot find the time
Tonight
Just let the curtains close in silence
Tonight
Why not approach with less defiance
The man who'd love to see you smile
Who'd love to see you smile
Tonight

"Turn them on, turn them on
Turn on those sad songs
When all hope is gone
Why don't you tune in and turn them on
They reach into your room
Just feel their gentle touch
When all hope is gone
Elton John songs say so much..."

GOODBYE YELLOW BRICK ROAD
Harmony

Well Elton was handsome, he was made in England
His was a bit fat and almost bald Marilyn was the queen of Hollywood, USA made
No one could hold her tight, her hair was bright as gold
Elton was magnetic, he hated growing old
Marilyn never got old
Elton and Marilyn spent many nights alone
With their dreams and memories on silent telephones....

They attack like lions.
They flee like birds.
And disappear before they have really appeared..."

Julia
Music & lyrics by The Beatles, Lennon-McCartney 1968
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Half of what I say is meaningless
But I say it just to reach you, Julia.
Julia, Julia, oceanchild, calls me
So I sing a song of love, Julia.
Julia, seashell eyes, windy smile, calls me
So I sing a song of love, Julia.
Her hair of floating sky is shimmering, glimmering,
In the sun.
Julia, Julia, morning moon, touch me
So I sing a song of love, Julia.
When I cannot sing my heart
I can only speak my mind, Julia.
Julia, sleeping sand, silent cloud, touch me
So I sing a song of love, Julia.
Hum hum hum hum... calls me
So I sing a song of love for Julia, Julia, Julia.

"f you live by the sword, gonna die by the sword
If you live by the gun, you gonna die by the gun
If you live for the knife, well, you’re gonna get stabbed
Run into the law, well, you’re gonna get nabbed
If you live for revenge, gonna feel the backlash
If you live to be cruel, gonna bite you in the ass..."
Lyrics The Rolling Stones, 2023

While traveling through Laos I met this Laotian girl. She told me she was a dancer... and I made a sketch of her.
"She said she was a dancer. If I believed it, it was my business
She surely knew a thing or two about control
Next to the bar we hit the samovar. She almost slipped right through my fingers...
Well, maybe you're a dancer, and maybe I'm the King of Old Siam
I thought it through... best to let the illusion roll..."
(based on Jethro Tull lyrics, 1987)

"Just HAPPY waiting for The Stones to arrive in Belgium again!"
Coloured pencil on Steinbach paper
WV1983/2024
"...
I believe you were a new arrival
On the fast train passing through
And you traded in your luck for survival
To sweeten up the witch's brew
You had a better way of working magic
A little mystery in your eyes
Instead of rolling over you remained the same
You took the whole world by surprise
And heaven can wait
But you ought to be a saint
I got your very best intentions
Helping me along
And if I ever fail to mention
You were an overnight sensation
Well take it from me
My baby's a saint..."
SAINT - Music & lyrics Elton John & Bernie Taupin, 1983.
WV1934/2024
"Raven hair and ruby lips
Sparks fly from her fingertips
Echoed voices in the night
She's a restless spirit on an endless flight
Woo hoo, witchy woman
See how high she flies
Woo hoo, witchy woman
She got the moon in her eye
She held me spellbound in the night (Woo-ooh)
Dancing shadows and firelight
Crazy laughter in another room (Woo-ooh)
And she drove herself to madness with a silver spoon
Well, I know you want a lover, let me tell you brother
She's been sleeping in the devil's bed
And there's some rumors going round, someone's underground
She can rock you in the night time 'til your skin turns red..."
WITCHY WOMAN - Eagles, 1972
"I'm moving out of Chicago, yeah with the sun behind my back

"I don't care if you never come home
I don't mind if you just keep on
Rowing away on a distant sea
Because I don't love you and you don't love me
You cause a commotion when you come to town
You give them a smile and they melt
Having lovers and friends is all good and fine
But I don't like yours and you don't like mine..."
PROMISES - Eric Clapton, 1978.

"Little sister, don't you, little sister, don't you
Little sister, don't you kiss me once or twice
Tell me that's it nice and then you run
Yeah, little sister, don't you do what your big sister done..."

"Come out, Virginia, don't let me wait
You Catholic girls start much too late
Aww, but sooner or later, it comes down to fate
I might as well be the one
Well, they showed you a statue, told you to pray
They built you a temple and locked you away
Aww, but they never told you the price that you pay
For things that you might have done
Well, only the good die young
That's what I said
Only the good die young
Only the good die young..."

PLEASE PLEASE ME
I Saw Her Standing There
Music & lyrics by The Beatles, Lennon-McCartney 1963
Elton John & John Lennon Live 1974 NYC
---------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------
She was just seventeen
And you know what I mean
And the way she looked was way beyond compare
I couldn't dance with another
When I saw her standing there
Well she looked at me
and I could see
That before too long I fell in love with her
I couldn't dance with another
When I saw here standing there
Well my heart went boom
As I crossed that room
And I held her hand in mine
Oh we danced through the night
And we held each other tight
And before too long I feel in love with her
I couldn't dance with another
When I saw here standing there
