OMySoul 02:36
O MY SOUL Where has all the beauty gone? (Where has all the beauty gone?) Did it warp beneath the Paris sun? (Beneath the sun, beneath the sun) Well I came here for the music but the music It had moved on Saw Franco carrying his can (Carrying his can) Showing anyone who gave a damn (D'you give a damn? D'you give a damn?) And plenty folks who didn't Well beauty's where you find it I suppose O My Soul To a man in Saint Johan (To a man in Saint Johan) She said "I'll love you til the the cows come home" (For all the cows, for all the cows) And in a snow scented alley They lock'd lips until neither felt alone So who chased it all away? (Who chased it all away?) She said she'd love you more than she could say (Well what's she saying, what's she saying?) But through the streets of Saint Johan I see the cows are coming home today OMySoul Where has all the beauty gone? (Where has all the beauty gone?) Did it warp beneath the Paris sun? (Beneath the sun, beneath the sun) Well I came here for the beauty but my beauty She had moved on Where has all the beauty gone? (Where has all the beauty gone?) Did it warp beneath the Paris sun? (Beneath the sun, beneath the sun) Well I came here for the music but the Lizard King Had passed on

LittleRedHen 04:17
LITTLE RED HEN One day as the Little Red Hen Was scratching in the field She found a grain of wheat "This wheat must be planted," She said "who will help?" "Not I," said the Duck "I'm doing something else. I've got a job..." said the Duck to the Hen "and it takes all my time you should get one my friend." "Then I will do it myself!" Said the Little Red Hen And she did so the wheat Grew yellow and tall "This wheat must be cut Who will cut it with me?" "Not I," said the Cat "O, I'm very busy It's my friend's birthday and he's having a party I've not seen him this year and I like to be friendly." "Then I will do it myself!" Said the Little Red Hen But when the wheat was cut It needed threshing So the Hen asked the Dog If he'd help thresh the wheat For the Dog was the sweetest friend She's ever meet He said "I'd help you my friend but I'm helping another So I'd have to say it's a 'Not I' from your brother" "Then I will do it myself!" Said the Little Red Hen And when the wheat was threshed She took it to The Mill And at The Mill She turned it into flour Then she took that flour And she made bread And that load of bread Looked so very tasty That the Hen she called out: "Who will eat this with me?" And the Duck, Cat and Dog said they'd each have a piece But they were no help when the Hen needed them So she ate it herself Because she's the Little Red Hen And none of you cluckers Are gonna eat her bread

JEALOUS MATADOR Every time I look into your eyes I see his face And it drives me to distraction Like a fairground attraction But attraction to you is so very fleeting More like a passing greeting Than an annual boardroom meeting I'm the Jealous Matador And I don't take no bull from you And if you ever agreed to meet him for sangria That would make me angrier And angrier and angrier And if you ever smelt his putrid breath I would find you and put you to death And burn you and snort your ashes...??? Still my billowing red cloak it never stops At least we're not in a china shop All the teacups would be smashed to pieces Along with you as well So the morale of the tale is this If you go near those loins of his I would serve you as a frozen T-bone steak To that lover of yours so his teeth would break

Twist 02:00
TWIST Normally I'm seventeen Times more charming than you've seen Normally the jokes I tell make sense Under different circumstances I can be quite a Romantic Hell, I try to quit smoking Just for you But I'm not myself Cos my head's in a Twist over you Normally I'm forty-three Times for charming than you've seen Normally the songs I write rhyme I can perambulate On affairs of state And other interesting stuff But that's not enough For you My Love But you're not My Love And that's kind of The problem That I'm not myself Cos my head's in a Twist over you

NEVER BEEN IN LOVE You ask me When are my Dark Times And I reply "Whenever the Sun Shines." You've Never Been In Love But you'll put it in a Song You tell me "The battle's not even begun." Well I've been fighting since that line was sung You've Never Been In Love But you'll put it in a Song Now I ask you "When are your Dark Times?" And you reply "Whenever the Sun Shines." Battle on my pacifist boy What a Loaded Gun Everything About Us Belongs to everyone You've Never Been In Love You've Never Been In Love You've Never Been In Love Have you ever been in Love? Have you ever been in Love?
