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
uh- I'm an alien
I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman
In New York uh-
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 uh-
I'm an alien
I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman
in New York uh-
I'm an alien
I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman
in New York
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
Be yourself no matter
what they say
Be yourself no matter
what they say
Be yourself no matter
what they say
Be yourself no matter
what they say
Be yourself no matter
what they say
Be yourself no matter
what they say
Be yourself no matter
what they say
Be yourself no matter
what they say
Be yourself no matter
what they say-

Fly me to the moon
and let me
Play among the stars
let me see what spring
Is like on
Jupiter and Mars
In other words
hold my hand
In other words
darling kiss me

Fill my heart with
song and let me sing
Forever more
you are all I long
For all I worship
and adore
In other words
please be true
In other words
I love you-

Fill my heart with
song and let me sing
Forever more
you are all I long
For all I worship
and adore
In other words
please be true
In other words
I love you-
In other words
I love you-

Half past twelve
and I'm watching
The late show
in my flat all alone
How I hate to spend
the evening on my own
Autumn winds blowing
outside my window as
I look around the room
and it makes me
So depressed
to see the gloom
There's not a soul
out there
No one to hear
my prayer
Gimme gimme gimme
a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me
chase the shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme
a man after midnight
Take me
through the darkness
To The break
of the day-

Movie stars find
the end of the rainbow
With a fortune to win
It's so different
From the world
I'm living in
Tired of TV
I open the window and
I gaze into the night
but there's
Nothing there to see
no one in sight
There's not a soul
out there
No one to hear
my prayer
Gimme gimme gimme
a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me
chase the shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme
a man after midnight
Take me
through the darkness
To the break
of the day
Gimme gimme gimme
a man after midnight
Ah ah ah ah
gimme gimme gimme
A man after midnight
ah ah ah ah-

There's not a soul
out there
No one to hear
my prayer
Gimme gimme gimme
a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me
chase the shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme
a man after midnight
Take me
through the darkness
To the break
of the day
Gimme gimme gimme
a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me
chase the shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme
a man after midnight
Take me
through the darkness
To the break
of the day-

Um-------
there's a hero--
If you look inside
your heart-
You don't have
to be afraid
Oh what you are-----
there's an answer---
If you reach
into your soul---
And the sorrow
that you know--
Will melt
away----------
And then a hero
comes along
With the strength
to carry on--
And you cast
your fears aside--
And you know
you can survive---
So when you feel
like hope is gone--
Look inside you and
be strong--
And you finally
see the truth--
That a hero
lies in you--
It's a long-- road--
when you face
The world alone--
no one reaches out
A hand
for you to hold------
You can find--- love--
if you search
Within yourself---
and the emptiness
You felt-- will
disappear------------
And then a hero
comes along
With the strength
to carry on---
And you cast
you fears aside--
And you know
you can survive---
So when you feel
like hope is gone--
Look inside you
and be strong----
And you'll finally
see the truth---
That a hero lies
in you--- oh-----
Lord knows-----
dreams are hard to-
Follow-- but don't let
anyone---
Tear them away-----
hold-- on-----
There will be
tomorrow-- in- time--
You'll find
the way-----
And then a hero
comes along--
With the strength
to carry on---
And you cast
your fears aside----
And you know
you can survive----
So when you feel
like hope is gone---
Look inside you and
be strong---
And you'll finally
see the truth----
That a hero lies
in you-----
That a hero lies
in---- you-
Um---- that a hero
lies in-- you---

I can see the pain
living in your eyes
And I know how
hard you try
You deserve to have
so much more
I can feel your hurt
and I sympathize
And I'll never
critisize
All you ever meant
to my life-
I don't want to
let you down
I don't want to
lead you on
I don't want to
hold you back from
Where you might
belong
You would
never ask me why
My heart is
so disguised
I just can't
live a lie anymore
I would- rather
hurt myself
Than to ever
make you cry
There's nothing
left to say
But goodbye
ah- goodbye-
You deserve a chance
at the kind of love
I'm not sure I'm
worthy of
Losing you is painful
for me
I don't want to
let you down
I don't want to
lead you on
I don't want to
hold you back
From where you
might belong
You would never
ask me why
My heart is
so disguised
I just can't
live a lie anymore
I would rather
hurt myself
Than to ever
make you cry
There's nothing
left to say-
But
goodbye-

You would never
ask me why
My hurt is
so disguised
I just can't
live a lie anymore
I would- rather
hurt myself
Than to ever
make you cry
There's nothing
left you try
No it's gonna
hurt us both
There's no other way
than to say goodbye
Uhm----
goodbye-

Take the ribbon
from your hair
Shake it loose and
let it fall
Laying soft upon
my skin
Like the shadows
on the wall
Come and lay down
by my side
Till the early
morning light
All I'm asking
is your time
Help me make it
through the night
I don't care
who's right or wrong
I don't try
to understand
Let the devil
take tomorrow
Lord tonight
I need a friend
Yesterday
is dead and gone
And tomorrow's
out of sight
And it's sad
to be alone
Help me make it
through the night.
I don't care
who's right or wrong
I don't try
to understand
Let the devil
take tomorrow
Lord tonight
I need a friend

of paul newman
and your feel

love for me
come take me to
eternity-

Whenever I'm weary
from the battles
that rage in my head
you make sense of
madness when my sanity
hangs be a thread
I lose my way but
still you seem
to understand
now and forever
I will be your man
sometimes I just
hold you too caught
up in me to see
I'm holding a
fortune that heaven
has given to me
I'll try to show
you each and every
way I can now and
forever I will be
your man
now I can rest my
worries and always
be sure
that I won't be
alone any more
if I'd only known
you were there all the
time all this time-
until the day
the ocean doesn't
touch the sand
now and forever
I will be your man
now and forever
I will be
your man-

There is a house
in New Orleans
They call the
rising sun
And it's been the ruin
of many a poor boy
And Go I know I'm one
My mother was a tailor
She sewed my
new blue jeans
My father was
a gamblin' man
Down in
New Orleans
Now the only thing
a gambler needs
Is a suitcase
and a trunk
And the only time
he'll be satisfied
Is when he's all
a drunk

Oh mother
tell your children
Not to do
what I have done
spend your lives
in sin and misery
In the house
of the rising sun
Well I've got one
foot on the platform
The other
foot on the train
I'm going back to
New Orleans
To wear that ball
and chain
Well there is
a house in New Orleans
They call
the rising sun
And It's been the ruin
of many a poor boy
And God I know
I'm one

Would you know my name
if I saw you in heaven
would you be the same
if I saw you in heaven
I must be strong
and I'll carry on
cause I know
I don't belong
here in heaven-

would you hold my hand
if I saw you in heaven
would you help me stand
if I saw you in heaven
I'll find my way
through night and day
cause I know
I just can't stay
here in heaven-

Time can bring
you down
time can bend
your knees
time can break
your heart
have you beg and plead
beg and plead-

beyond the door
there's peace I'm sure
and I know
there'll be no more
tears in heaven-

would you know my name
if I saw you in heaven
would you be the same
if I saw you in heaven
I must be strong
and I'll carry on
cause I know
I don't belong
here in heaven
cause I know
I don't belong
here in heaven-

I have often
told you stories
About the way
I lived the life
Of a drifter
waiting for the day
When I'd take
your hand
And sing you songs
then maybe
You would say
come lay with me
Love me
and I would
Surely stay
but I feel
I'm growing older
and the songs that
I have sung
echo in the distance
Like the sound
of a windmill
goin' 'round
I guess I'll always be
A soldier
of fortune

Many times
I've been a traveller
I looked for
something new
In days of old
when nights were cold
I wandered without you
but those days
I thougt my eyes
had seen you
Standing near
though
Blindness is confusing
it shows that
You're not here
now I feel
I'm growing older
and the songs that
I have sung
echo in the distance
Like the sound
of a windmill
Goin' 'round
I guess I'll always be
A soldier of fortune
I can hear the sound
Of a windmill
goin' 'round
I guess I'll always be
a soldier of fortune
I guess I'll always be
a soldier of fortune

Wish
I could
I could've said
goodbye
I would've said
what I wanted to
Maybe even
cried for you
If I knew it would be
the last time
I would've broke
my heart in two
Tryin' to save
a part of you
Don't wanna feel
another touch
Don't wanna start
another fire
Don't wanna know
another kiss
No other name
falling off my lips
Don't wanna give
my heart away
To another
stranger
Or let another day
begin
Won't even
let the sunlight in
No I'll never love
again
I'll never love again
woo
When
we first met
I never thought
that I would fall
I never thought
that I'd find myself
Lying
in your arms
And I want to pretend
that it's not true
Oh baby
that you're gone
'Cause my world keeps
turning and turning
And turning
and I'm not moving on
Don't wanna feel
another touch
Don't wanna start
another fire
Don't wanna know
another kiss
No other name
falling off my lips
Don't wanna
give my heart away
To another
stranger
Or let another day
begin
Won't even
let the sunlight in
No I'll never
love
I don't wanna know
this feeling
Unless
it's you and me
I don't wanna
waste a moment woo
And I don't wanna give
somebody else
The better
part of me
I would rather
wait for you woo
Don't wanna feel
another touch
Don't wanna start
another fire
Don't wanna know
another kiss
Baby unless
they are your lips
Don't wanna
give my heart away
To another
stranger
Don't let another day
begin
Won't
let the sunlight in
Oh I'll never love
again
Never love again
never love again
Oh I'll never love
again

I used to think that
I wasn't fine enough
And I used
to think that
I wasn't
wild enough
But I won't
waste my time
Tryin to
figure out
Why you are
playin games
What's this all about
and I can't believe
Your hurting me
I met your girl
What a difference
what you seen in her
You ain't seen in me
but I guess it was all
Just make believe

Look
if you had
One shot
one opportunity
To seize everything
you ever wanted
One moment
would you capture it
Or just let it slip yo
his palms are sweaty
Knees weak arms
are heavy
There's vomit
on his sweater
Alredy mom's spaghetti
he's nervous
But on the surface
he looks calm
And ready
to drop bombs
But he keeps on
forgettin
What he wrote down
the whole crowd
Goes so loud yo
he open his mouth
But the words
won't come out
He's chokin how
everybody's jokin now
The clock's run out
time's up over bloah
Snap back to reality
oh there goes gravity
Oh there goes rabbit
he choked
He's so mad
but he won't
Give up that is he
no he won't have it
He knows his whole
back city's ropes
I don't matter
he's dope
He knows that
but he's broke
He's so stacked
that he knows
When he goes back
to his mobile home
That's when it's back
to the lab again yo
This whole rap shit
he better go capture
This moment and
hope it don't pass him
You better
lose yourself
In the music
the moment
You own it you better
never let it go ho
You only get one shot
do not miss
Your chance to blow
this opportunity
Comes once
in a lifetime
You better
lose yourself
In the music
the moment
You own
it you better
Never let it go ho
you only get one shot
Do not miss
your chance to blow
This opportunity
comes once
In a lifetime
you better
The soul's escaping
through this hole
That it's gaping
this world is mine
For the taking
make me king
As we move toward
a new world order
A normal life is borin
but superstardom's
Close to post mortar
it only grows harder
Only grows hotter
he blows us all over
These hoes is
all on him
Coast to coast shows
he's know
As the globetrotter
lonely roads
God only knows
he's know father
From home
he's no father
He goes home
and barely knows
His own daughter
but hold your nose
Cuz here
goes the cold water
His hoes don't want
him no mo
He's cold product
they moved on
To the next schmoe
who flows
He nose dove and
sold nada
So the soap opera is
told and unfolds
I suppose
it's old potna
But the beat goes on
da da dum de dom
You better
lose yourself
In the music
the moment
You own it you better
never let it go ho
You only get one shot
do not miss
Your chance to blow
this opportunity
Comes once
in a lifetime
You better
lose yourself
In the music
the moment
You own it you better
never let it go ho
You only get one shot
do not miss
Your chance to blow
this opportunity comes
Once in a lifetime
you better
No more games
I'm a change
What you call rage
tear this mothafuckin
Roof off like
2 doas cased
I was playing
in the beginning
The mood all changed
I been chewed up
And spit out
and booed off stage
But I kept rhymin
and stepwritin
The next cypher
best believe
Somebody's payin
the pied piper
All the pain inside
amplified by the fact
That I can't get by
with my 9 to 5
And I can't provide
the right type of
Life for my family
cuz man
These goddam
food stamps
Don't buy diapers
and it's no movie
There's
no Mekhi phifer
This is my life
and these times
Are so hard
and it's getting
Even harder
trying to feed
And water my seed
plus see dishonor
Caught up between
bein a father
And a prima donna
baby mama drama's
Screamin on and
too much for me
To wanna stay
in one spot
Another jam or not
has gotten me
To the point
I'm like a snail
I've got to formulate
a plot fore
I end up in jail
or shot success is
My only mothafuckin
option failure's not
Mam I love you
but this trail has
Got to go
I cannot grow old
In salem's lot so
here I go is my shot
Feet fail me not
cuz maybe
The only opportunity
that I got
You better
lose yourself
In the music
the moment
You own it you better
never let it go ho
You only get one shot
do not miss
Your chance to blow
this opportunity
Comes once
in a lifetime
You better
lose yourself
In the music
the moment
You own it you better
never let it go ho
You only get one shot
do not miss
Your chance to blow
this opportunity
Come once
in a lifetime
You better
you can do anything
You set your mind
to man-

Uhm uhm
uhm uh uhm uhm
Some people live
for the fortune
Some people live
just for the fame
Some people live
for the power yeah
Some people live
just to play the game
Some people think that
the physical things
Define
what's within
And I been
there before
But that
life's a bore
So full
of the superficial
Some people
want it all
But I don't want
nothing at all
If it ain't
you baby
If I ain't got
you baby
Some people want
diamond rings
Some just want
everything
But everything
means nothing
If I ain't got
you yeah
Some people search
for a fountain
That promises
forever young
Some people need
three dozen roses
And that's
the only way
To prove you love him
hand me the world
On a silver platter
and what
Good would it be
with no one to share
With no one who truly
cares for me
Some people
want it all
But I don't want
nothing at all
If it ain't
you baby
If I ain't got
you baby
Some people want
diamond rings
Some just want
everything
But everything
means nothing
If I ain't got
you you you
Some people
want it all
But I don't want
nothing at all
If it ain't
you baby
If I ain't got

Some people want

If I ain't got

If I ain't got you
with me baby uh
Woo see nothing

Whole wide world

If I ain't got you
with me baby-

I'm sitting here
in a boring room
It's just another
rainy Sunday afternoon
I'm wasting my time
I got nothing to do
I'm hanging around
I'm waiting for you
But nothing ever
happens and I wonder
I'm driving around
in my car
I'm driving too fast
I'm driving too far
I'd like to change
my point of view
I feel so lonely
I'm waiting for you
But nothing
ever happens
And I wonder
I wonder how
I wonder why
yesterday you told me
About the
blue blue sky
And all that
I can see
Is just
a yellow lemon tree
I'm turning my head
up and down
I'm turning turning
turning turning
Turning around
and all that I can see
Is just
another lemon tree
Sing da
da da da da dee da da
Da da da da dee da da
da da da da
I'm sitting here
I miss the power
I'd like to go out
taking a shower
But there's a heavy
cloud inside my head
I feel so tired
put myself into bed
Where nothing
ever happens
And I wonder
Isolation
Is not good for me
Isolation
I don't want to
sit on a lemon tree
I'm stepping around
in a desert of joy
Baby any how
I'll get another toy
And everything
will happen
And you'll wonder
I wonder how
I wonder why
yesterday you told me
About the
blue blue sky
And all that
I can see
Is just
a yellow lemon tree
I'm turning my head
up and down
I'm turning turning
turning turning
Turning around
and all that I can see
Is just
a yellow lemon tree
Yellow wonder wonder
I wonder how
I wonder why
yesterday you told me
About the
blue blue sky
And all that I can see
and all that I can see
And all that
I can see
Is just
a yellow lemon tree

Woo- woo- do you ever
think about me
Do you ever cry
yourself to sleep
In the middle of the
night when you awake
Are you calling out
for me
Do you ever reminisce
I can't believe
I'm acting like this
I know it's crazy
How I still
can feel your kiss
It's been six months
eight days
Twelve hours
since you went away
Yeah I miss you
so much
And I don't know
what to say
I should be over you
I should know better
But it's just
not the case
It's been six months
eight days
Twelve hours
since you went away
Do you ever ask
about me
Do your friends still
tell you what to do
Every time
the phone rings
Do you wish it was me
callin' you
Do you still
feel the same
Or has time
put out the flame
I miss you
is everything ok
It's been six months
eight days
Twelve hours
since you went away
I miss you
so much
And I don't know
what to say
I should be over you
I should know better
But it's just
not the case
It's been six months
eight days
Twelve hours
since you went away
It's hard enough
just passing the time
When I can't seem to
get you off my mind
And where is the good
in goodbye
Tell me why
tell me why
It's been six months
eight days
Twelve hours
since you went away
I miss you
so much
And I don't know
what to say
I should be over you
I should know better
But it's just
not the case
It's been six months
eight days
Twelve hours
since you went away
Sing it for me
woo- woo-
Woo- woo-
woo- woo-

Desperado
why don't you come to
Your senses
you've been out
Ridin fences
for so long now
Oh you're a hard one
but I know that
You've got
your reasons
These things
that are pleasin'
You can hurt you
somehow
Don't you draw
the Queen of diamonds
Boy she'll beat you
if she's able
You know
the Queen of hearts
Is always
your best bet
Now it seems to me
some fine things
Have been laid
upon your table
But you only
want the ones
You can't get
desperado
Oh you ain't
gettin no younger
Your pain and
your hunger
They're drivin
you home
And freedom
oh freedom
Well that's just
some people talkin'
Your prison is
walking through
This world all alone
don't you
Feet get cold
in the wintertime
The sky won't snow
and the sun
Won't shine
it's hard to tell
The night time
from the day
And you're losin all
your highs and lows
Ain't it funny
how the feelin
Goes away
desperado
Why don't you
come to your senses
Come down
from your fences
Open the gates
it may be rainin
But there's a rainbow
above you
You'd better
let somebody love you
(Let somebody
love you)
You'd better
let somebody love you
Before
it's too late-

I used to think that
I could not go on
And life was nothing
but an awful song
But now I know the
meaning of true love
I'm leaning on
the everlasting arms
If I can see it
then I can do it
If I just believe it
there's nothing to it
I believe
I can fly
I believe
I can touch the sky
I think about it
every night
And day spread
my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running
Through that
open door
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
I believe
I can fly
See I was on the verge
of breaking down
Sometimes silence
can seem so loud
There are miracles
in life I must achieve
But first I know it
starts inside of me
Oh- if I can see it
then I can do it
If I just
believe it
There's
nothing to it
I believe
I can fly
I believe
I can touch the sky
I think about it
every night
And day spread
my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running
Through
that open door
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
I believe
I can fly
Oh- cause
I believe in me
Oh- If I can see it
then I can do it
If I just believe it
there's nothing to it
I believe
I can fly
I believe
I can touch the sky
I think about it
every night
And day spread
my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running
Through
that open door
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
if I just with
My wings
I can fly I can fly
I can fly
If I just with
My wings
I can fly-
