Riverside Conceiving You
Love this song so much!

I've been watching you
Not waiting for the right moment to make the first move
Do you want to know why I keep avoiding your eyes
And why I'm running away?
It's crazy, I know

I've been conceiving you for too long

Or maybe I'm destined to be alone?
Or maybe there's someone who will understand
That I'm not able to share my world?
I'm still running away
It's crazy, I know




from Mathilda the musical
great performance by Alisha Weir

Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water
So they say, their subsequent fall was inevitable
They never stood a change, they were written that way
Innocent victims of their story
Like Romeo and Juliet
T was written in the stars before they even met
that love and fat and a touch of stupitity would rob them of their hope of living happily
the endings are often a little bit gory
I wonder why they didnt just change their story
We,re told we have to do what we're tol but surely

Sometimes you have to be a little bit naughty
Just because you find that life's not fair, it
Doesn't mean that you just have to grin and bear it

If yu always take it on the chin and wear it noghting will change
Even if you little you can do a lot you must let a little thinl like little stop you

If you sit around and let them get on top, you
Might as well be saying you think that it's okay
And that's not right
Cinderella in the cellar
Didn't have to do much, as far as I could tell
Her godmother was two-thirds fairy
And suddenly her lot was a lot less scary
But what if you haven't got a fairy to fix it
Sometimes you have to make a little bit of mischief
Just because you find that life's not fair, it
Doesn't mean that you just have to grin and bear it
If you always take it on the chin and wear it nothing will change
Even if you little you can do a lot you musht let a little thing like little stop you
If you sit around and let them get on top, you
Might as well be saying you think that it's okay
And that's not right



Supertramp - Ruby



"Rudy" wordt gezien als het meest symfonische nummer op Crime of the Century.[5] Het is het langste nummer op het album en bevat elementen uit de fun, de jazz de rock en progessieve rock. Het wordt gezien als een van de grondleggers van het genre dat later bekend zou worden alsAdult Oriented Rock. Het geluid van de trein in het nummer werd opgenomen op het station London Paddington, terwijl de geluiden van de menigte werden opgenomen op  Leicestger Square (wikipedia)

Rudy's on a train to nowhere,
Halfway down the line.
He don't wanna get there,
But he needs time.
He ain't sophisticated,
nor well-educated.
After all the hours he's wasted,
Still he needs time...

He needs time!
He needs a time for livin'
He needs time
For someone just to see him

He ain't had no lovin'
For no reason or rhyme
And the whole world's above him
Well it's not as though he's fat
No, there's more to it than that
See he tries to play it cool
Wouldn't be nobody's fool


Rudy thought,
That all good things,
Comes to those that wait
But recently,
He could see
That it may come, but too late.. too late... too late

All through your life
All through the years
Nobody loves
Nobody cares
So dim the light
dark are your fears
Try as I might,
I can't hold back the tears

How can you live, without love, it's not fair
Someone said give, but I just didn't dare
I didn't dare
I didn't dare
What good advice
Are you waiting to hear?
Hearing's alrightfor them that's all there
You'd better, you'd better get control of
You'd better show 'em all now
You'd better make or break now
You'd better give and take now
You'll have to push and show them
You'll have to find some love now...
You'd better gain control now

Now he's just come out the movie
Numb of all the pain
Sad but in a while he'll soon be
Back on his train


Susanne Vega

Solitude stands by the window
She turns her head as I walk in the room
I can see by her eyes she's been waiting
Standing in the slant of the late afternoon

And she turns to me with her hand extended
Her palm is split with a flower, with a flame

Solitude stands in the doorway
I'm struck once again by her black silhouette
By her long cool stare and her silence
I suddenly remember each time we've met

And she turns to me with her hand extended
Her palm is split with a flower, with a flame

And she says, "I've come to set a twisted thing straight"
And she says, "I've come to lighten this dark heart"
And she takes my wrist, I feel her imprint of fear
And I said, "I never thought of finding you here"

Rodger Hodson
Desert Love
Roger Hodgson, former vocalist and songwriter from Supertramp.
Did I tell you I need your love a little more each day
Did I tell you I'm feeling old since you went away
Did I tell you my love was cold like the desert night
Did I tell you my heart was dry like the desert sky

Chorus:
Oh, will you love me again, won't you help out a friend
Will you love me again

Did I tell you my lips were cold like the desert night
Did I tell you my heart was dry like the desert sky
And if I need anyone to hold will you say you might



Frankie Goes To Hollywood
Welcome to the Pleasuredome

"Welcome to the Pleasuredome" is the title track to the 1984 debut album by British band Frankie Goes to Hollywood. The lyrics of the song were inspired by the poem Kubla Khan by Samuel Taylor Coleridge.


"Welcome To The Pleasuredome"

The world is my oyster........
Ha ha ha ha ha........

The animals are winding me up
The jungle call
The jungle call

Who-ha who-ha who-ha who-ha

In Xanadu did Kublai Khan
A pleasuredome erect
Moving on keep moving on-yeah
Moving at one million miles an hour
Using my power
I sent it by the hour
I have it so I'm mocking it
You really can afford it-yeah
Really can afford it

Shooting stars never stop
Even when they reach the top
Shooting stars never stop
Even when they reach the top

There goes a supernova
What a pushover-yeah
There goes a supernova
What a pushover


We're a long way from home
Welcome to the Pleasuredome
On our way home
Going home where lovers roam
Long way from home
Welcome to the Pleasuredome

Moving on
Keep moving on

I will give you diamonds by the shower
Love your body even when it's old
Do it just as only I can do it
And never ever doing what I'm told

Keep moving on
Got to reach the top

Don't stop
Pay love and life-oh my
Keep moving on
On again-yeah

Shooting stars never stop
Shooting stars never stop
Shooting stars never stop
Even when they reach the top
There goes a supernova
What a pushover
