Straight up now, tell me.

[swordwench]

Come on all of you big strong men
Uncle Sam needs your help again
he's got himself in a terrible jam
way down yonder in Viet Nam so
put down your books and pick up a gun we're
gonna have a whole lotta fun

And it's one, two, three, what are we fighting for
don't ask me I don't give a damn, next stop is Viet Nam
And it's five, six, seven, open up the pearly gates
ain't no time to wonder why, whoopee we're all gonna die

I think she was a middle-distance runner...
The translation wasn't clear.
Could be a budding stately hero.
International competition in a year.
She was a good enough reason for a party...
(well, you couldn't keep up on a hard track mile)
while she ran a perfect circle.
And she wore a perfect smile
in Budapest... hot night in Budapest.

We had to cozzy up in the old gymnasium...
dusting off the mandolins and checking on the gear.
She was helping out at the back-stage...
stopping hearts and chilling beer.
Yes, and her legs went on for ever.
Like staring up at infinity
through a wisp of cotton panty
along a skin of satin sea.
Hot night in Budapest.

You could cut the heat, peel it back with the wrong side of a knife.
Feel it blowing from the sidefills. Feel like you were playing for your life
(if not the money).
Hot night in Budapest.

She bent down to fill the ice box
and stuffed some more warm white wine in
like some weird unearthly vision
wearing only T-shirt, pants and skin.
You know, it rippled, just a hint of muscle.
But the boys and me were heading west
so we left her to the late crew
and a hot night in Budapest.
It was a hot night in Budapest.

She didn't speak much English language...
(she didn't speak much anyway).
She wouldn't make love, but she could make good sandwich
and she poured sweet wine before we played.

Hey, Budapest, cha, cha, cha. Let's watch her now.

I thought I saw her at the late night restaurant.
She would have sent blue shivers down the wall.
But she didn't grace our table.
In fact, she wasn't there at all.
Yes, and her legs went on forever.
Like staring up at infinity.
Her heart was spinning to the west-lands
and she didn't care to be
that night in Budapest.
Hot night in Budapest.

They made up their minds
And they started packing
They left before the sun came up that day
An exit to eternal summer slacking
But where were they going
Without ever knowing the way?
They drank up the wine
And they got to talking
They now had more important things to sayAnd when the car broke down
They started walking
Where were they going without ever knowing the way?

Anyone could see
The road that they walk on is paved in gold
And it's always summer, they'll never get cold
They'll never get hungry
They'll never get old and gray
You can see their shadows
Wandering off somewhere
They won't make it home
But they really don't care
They wanted the highway
They're happy there today , today

The children woke up
And they couldn't find 'em
They Left before the sun came up that day
They just drove off
And left it all behind 'em
But where were they going without ever knowing the way?

CHORUS
CHORUS

[Lady Quindecim]

Well we know where were goin
But we dont know where weve been
And we know what were knowin
But we cant say what weve seen
And were not little children
And we know what we want
And the future is certain
Give us time to work it out

Were on a road to nowhere
Come on inside
Takin that ride to nowhere
Well take that ride

Im feelin okay this mornin
And you know,
Were on the road to paradise
Here we go, here we go

Chorus

Maybe you wonder where you are
I dont care
Here is where time is on our side
Take you there...take you there

Were on a road to nowhere
Were on a road to nowhere
Were on a road to nowhere

Theres a city in my mind
Come along and take that ride
And its all right, baby, its all right

And its very far away
But its growing day by day
And its all right, baby, its all right

They can tell you what to do
But theyll make a fool of you
And its all right, baby, its all right

Were on a road to nowhere

[swordwench]

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that, the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I marked the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

[Lady Quindecim]

Robin Hood ans Little John
Runnig through the forest
Jumping fences, dodging trees and trying to get away
Contemplating nothing but escape
And finally making it
Oodalolly oodalolly golly what a day.

[swordwench]

King Henry lay upon his bed
Lay musing on a tribute due
A tribute due from the King of France,
That hadn't been paid for so long a time.
Fal lal tra lal fal lal follow the day

Then he called for his lovely page,
His lovely page then called he,
Saying, 'You must go to the King of France,
To the King of France, ride speedily.'

Then away went this lovely page,
This lovely page then away went he;
And when he came to the king of France,
Low he fell down on his bended knee.

'My master greets you, worthy sir:
Ten ton of gold that is due to he,
That you will send him his tribute home,
Or in French land you soon will him see.'

'Your master's young and of tender years,
Not fit to come into my degree,
And I will send him three tennis-balls,
That with them he may learn to play.'

The page, he returned to the English court,
'What news, what news?' cried King Henry
'such news as I'm a fraid to speak
For with this news you'll never agree'

'He says you're young and of tender years,
Not fit to come into his degree,
And he will send you three tennis-balls,
That with them you may learn to play.'

Then Hentry wrote to the King of France
His pen never flew so speedily
Said "I will toss you some London balls
That'll shake your courts so greivously!"

O then we marched through into the French land,
With drums and trumpets so merrily;
And then bespoke the king of France,
'Lo, yonder comes proud King Henry.'

The first shot that the Frenchmen gave,
They killed our Englishmen so free;
We killed ten thousand of the French,
And the rest of them they ran away.
Fal lal tra lal fal lal follow the day

Sorry to double post, but just read LQ's and couldn't resist an old favorite...

---------------------------------------------------------

Every town
Has its ups and down
Sometime ups
Outnumber the downs
But not in Nottingham
I'm inclined to believe
If we were so down
We'd up and leave
We'd up and fly if we had wings for flyin'
Can't you see the tears we're cryin'?
Can't there be some happiness for me?
Not in Nottingham

[Lady Quindecim]

Now this is the story all about how
My life got flipped, turned upside down
And I?d like to take a minute just sit right there
I?ll tell you how I became the prince of a town called bel-air

In west Philadelphia born and raised
On the playground where I spent most of my days
Chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool
And all shooting some b-ball outside of the school
When a couple of guys said "we?re up in no good"
Started making trouble in my neighbourhood
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
And said "you?re moving with your aunte and uncle in bel-air"

(Only the first three episodes of season one)

I begged and pleaded with her the other day
But she packed my suitcase and sent me on my way
She gave me a kissin? and she gave me my ticket
I put my walkman on and said I might as well kick it

First class, yo this is bad
Drinking orange juice out of a champagne glass
Is this what the people of bel-air livin? like
Hmm this might be alright!

I whistled for a cab and when it came near the
License plate said "fresh" and had a dice in the mirror
If anything I could say that this cab was rare
But I thought now forget it, yo home to bel-air

I pulled up to a house about seven or eight
And I yelled to the cabby "yo, home smell you later"
Looked at my kingdom I was finally there
To settle my throne as the prince of bel-air

[Nusy]

Home is behind, the world ahead.
And there are many paths to tread.
Through shadow... to the edge of night.
'Till the stars are all alight.
Mist and shadow, cloud and shade.
All shall fade... all shall fade.

[I_luv_saber]

Oh, wow, man
Wait a second, man
What do you think the teacher's gonna look like this year?
Whoooa!

Uh!
Oh yeah!

T-T-teacher stop that screamin'
Teacher don't you see?
Don't wanna be no uptown fool
Maybe I should go to hell
But I am doing well
Teacher needs to see me after school

I think of all the education that I've missed
But then my homework was never quite like this!

Ow! Got it bad,
Got it bad,
Got it bad,
I'm hot for teacher!
I've got it bad, so bad
I'm hot for teacher!

Hey, I heard you missed us
We're back!
I brought my pencil
Give me something to write on, man!

Uh!

I heard about your lessons
but lessons are so cold
I didn't know about this school
Little girl from Cherry Lawn
How can you be so bold?
How did you know that golden rule?

I think of all the education that I've missed
But then my homework was never quite like this!

Whoa! Got it bad,
Got it bad,
Got it bad,
I'm hot for teacher!
I've got it bad, so bad
I'm hot for teacher!

Whoa!


Oh man, I think the clock is slow
I don't feel tardy
Class dismissed!
Ooh-yeah!

I've got it bad,
Got it bad,
Got it bad,
I'm hot for teacher!

I've got it bad,
Got it bad,
Got it bad,
I'm hot for teacher!

Whoa!
Oh! Ooh, yes I'm hot
Wow!


Whoa!
Oh! Ooh, yes I'm hot
Wow!

Oh my God!

Arde la calle al sol de poniente hay
tribus ocultas cerca del rio
esperando que caiga la noche

hace falta valor, hace falta valor
ven a la escuela del calor

se lo que tengo que hacer para conseguir
que tu estes loco por mi
ven a mi lado y comprueba el tejido mas
cuida esas manos chico
esa paloma sobrevuela el peligro
aprendio en una escuela del calor

Vas por ahi sin prestar atencion
y cae sobre ti una maldicion
en las piscinas privadas
las chicas desnudan sus cuerpos al sol

No des un paso, no des un mal paso
esto es una escuela del calor

Deja que me acerce, deja que me acerce a ti
quiero vivir del aire, quiero salir de aqui

Arde la calle al sol de poniente hay
tribus ocultas cerca del rio
esperando que caiga la noche estoy

hace falta valor, hace falta valor
ven a la escuela del calor

[Lady Quindecim]

Elle me regarde .. ,
Et je suis sous le charme comme ci tous à coup .. ,
Je n'etais plus une femme ..
c'est agreable .. ,
comme sensation ... ,
J'ai l'impression d'être au college devant un garcon .
Et dans mon coeur et dans mon corps .. ,
tous le monde a l'aire d'accord pour me dire .. ,
que je suis toucher là où .. ,
jamais je ne me serai aventurer comme un sens interdit ...

refrain :
Si les garcons ne m'ouvrent pas leur coeur
Je sens que je vais aller voir ailleur .. ,
Là où tout est beau et pleins de douceur .. ,
Les femmes .
Je sens mon corps se remplir de bonheur .
Et mon coeur sourire noyè par les pleurs .. ,
Je danse mais j'hesite encore .. ,
Des larmes .


" stop "
Me souffle t- on comme ci c'etait une fausse direction .
Mon plaisir se moque de tes equations .. ,
Je laisse aller mes sens , mes emotions .
Cette peau douce absolument parfaite .. ,
Cette odeur fruitè et sucrèmentete .
J'arrive au pays des bisounours .. ,
Tranquillement allongè sur un nuage de mousse.
Elle me dit comme ca viens on va faire un tour .. ,
Sur ce tobogant arc-en-ciel c'est celui de l'amour .. ,
On ira manger une glace à la vanille .
Mais d'abord j'aimerais être sur que tu n'aimes que les filles .

refrain x2 :
Si les garcons ne m'ouvrent pas leur coeur
Je sens que je vais aller voir ailleur .. ,
Là où tout est beau et pleins de douceur .. ,
Les femmes .
Je sens mon corps se remplir de bonheur .
Et mon coeur sourire noyè par les pleurs .. ,
Je danse mais j'hesite encore .. ,
Des larmes .

Of all the boys I've known, and I've known some
Until I first met you, I was lonesome
And when you came in sight, dear, my heart grew light
And this old world seemed new to me

You're really swell, I have to admit you
Deserve expressions that really fit you
And so I've racked my brain, hoping to explain
All the things that you do to me

Bei mir bist du schön, please let me explain
Bei mir bist du schön, means you're grand
Bei mir bist du schön, again I'll explain
It means you're the fairest in the land

I could say "Bella, bella", even say "Wunderbar"
Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are

I've tried to explain, bei mir bist du schön
So kiss me and say you understand

Bei mir bist du schön, you've heard it all before
but let me try to explain
Bei mir bist du schön means that you're grand
Bei mir bist du schön, it's such an old refrain
and yet I should explain
It means I am begging for your hand

I could say "Bella, bella", even say "Wunderbar"
Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are

I could say "Bella, bella", even say "Wunderbar"
Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are

I've tried to explain, bei mir bist du schön
So kiss me and say that you will understand

[Lady Quindecim]

Michelle, ma belle
These are words that go together well
My Michelle

Michelle, ma belle
Sont les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble
Tres bien ensemble

I love you, I love you, I love you
That's all I want to say
Until I find a way
I will say the only words I know that
You'll understand


Michelle, ma belle
Sont les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble
Tres bien ensemble

I need you, I need you, I need you
I need to make you see
Oh, what you mean to me
Until I do I'm hoping you will
Know what I mean

I love you

I want you, I want you, I want you
I think you know by now
I'll get to you somehow
Until I do I'm telling you
So you'll understand

Michelle, ma belle
Sont les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble
Tres bien ensemble

I will say the only words I know
That you'll understand, my Michelle

[swordwench]

Ma belle amie
You were a child of the sun
And the sky and the deep blue sea
Ma belle amie
Apres tous les beaux jours
Je te dis merci merci
You were the answer of all my questions
Before we're through
I want to tell you that I adore you
And always do
That you amaze me by leaving me now
And start a-new
Ma belle amie I'm in love with you

[Lady Quindecim]

You consider me the young apprentice
Caught between the Scylla and Charybdis
Hypnotized by you if I should linger
Staring at the ring around your finger
I have only come here seeking knowledge
Things they would not teach me of in college
I can see the destiny you sold
Turned into a shining band of gold

I'll be wrapped around your finger
I'll be wrapped around your finger

Mephistopheles is not your name
But I know what you're up to just the same
I will listen hard to your tuition
You will see it come to its fruition

I'll be wrapped around your finger
I'll be wrapped around your finger

Devil and the deep blue sea behind me
Vanish in the air you'll never find me
I will turn your flesh to alabaster
Then you'll find your servant is your master

And you'll be wrapped around my finger
You'll be wrapped around my finger
You'll be wrapped around my finger

[swordwench]

The sound of your footsteps
Telling me that you're near
Your soft gentle motion, baby
Brings out the need in me that no-one can hear, except

In my midnight confessions
When I tell all the world that I love you
In my midnight confessions
When I say all the things that I want to
I love you

But a little gold ring you wear on your hand makes me understand
There's another before me, you'll never be mine
I'm wasting my time

Staggering through the daytime
Your image on my mind
Passing so close beside you baby
Sometimes the feelings are so hard to hide, except

In my midnight confessions
When I tell all the world that I love you
In my midnight confessions
When I say all the things that I want to
I love you

[sabreur]

My young love said to me,
"My mother won't mind,
And my father won't slight you
For your lack of kine."
And she stepped away from me
And this she did say,
"It will not be long, love,
Till our wedding day."

She stepped away from me
And she moved through the fair,
And fondly I watched her
Move here and move there;
And then she went homeward
With one star awake,
As the swan in the evening
Moves over the lake.

The people were saying
That no two were e'er wed,
But one had a sorrow
That never was said,
And she smiled as she passed,
With her goods and her gear,
And that was the last
That I saw of my dear.

Last night she came to me,
My dead love came in,
So softly she came
That her feet made no din;
And she laid her hand on me
And this she did say,
"It will not be long, love,
Till our wedding day."
