Once Upon A Daydream Once Upon A Daydream Once upon a daydream I fell in love with you Once upon a moonbeam I gave that love to you Once upon a lifetime I know it must be true When the months had turned us I'd have to marry you Once upon a daydream Doesn't happen anymore Once upon a moonbeam This is no place for tenderness Once her daddy found out He threw her to the floor He killed her unborn baby And kicked me from the door Once upon a nightmare I bought myself a gun I blew her daddy's brains out Now hell has just begun Once upon a daydream Doesn't happen anymore Once upon a moonbeam This is no place for sentiment Once upon a lifetime A lifetime filled with tears The boy would pay for his crime With all his natural years Once upon a daydream He'd make you his someday Once upon a moonbeam He'd dream his life away Once upon a daydream Doesn't happen anymore Once upon a moonbeam This is no place for miracles Once upon a daydream Once upon a daydream Once upon a daydream Once upon a day... dream...

Rock Steady Rock Steady Saw an ad in the newspaper that caught my eye I said to my baby this sounds like the ticket for you and I It said volunteers wanted for a very special trip To commune with Mother Nature on a big wooden ship We took a taxi to the river in case any places were free There was an old guy with a beard And every kind of creature as far as the eye could see This old guy was the boss, he said, "I won't tell you no lie But there's more to this journey Than is apparent to the eye" He said he'd heard God's message on the radio It was going to rain forever and he'd told him to go "I'll protect you all don't worry I'll be father to you all I'll save two of every animal, no matter how small But I'll need some assistants to look after the zoo I can't see nobody better so you'll just have to do" I said, "Just tell me something before it's too late and we're gone I mean just how safe is this boat we'll be on?" "It's Rock steady, rock steady Rock steady, rock steady Rock stead, rock steady Rock steady, rock steady" It rained for forty days and forty long nights I'd never seen rain like it and it looked like our old friend Was being proved right We had no time to worry though there was just too much to do Between the signified monkey and the kangaroo We had to wash all the animals we had to feed them too We were merely human slaves in a big floating zoo She said, "Hey Baby I don't mean to be flip But it seems this old man is on some power trip" I said, "No, no sugar you must be wrong I mean look at the size of this boat we're on We're as safe as houses, as safe as mother's milk He's as cool as November and as smooth as China silk He's God's best friend, he's got a seat on the board And life may be tough but we're sailing with the lord." Rock steady, rock steady Rock steady, rock steady Rock steady, rock steady Rock steady, rock steady Woke up this morning and something had changed Like a room in my house had just been rearranged She said, "It's stopped raining and I know the guy's kind But if we stay here much longer I'm gonna lose my mind." So we said we had a mission for his favourite dove To see if there was any mercy from this great God above So to find dry land, away the white bird flew We didn't need no country just a rock would do When the dove came back to us, he threw down a twig It was manna from heaven and meant we could blow this gig "But the rock's too small," he said, "can't you see?" I said, "It's just perfect for her, it's perfect for me." Rock steady, rock steady Rock steady, rock steady Rock steady, rock steady Rock steady, rock steady Rock steady, rock steady Rock steady, rock steady... Sting |
Russians Russians In Europe and America there's a growing feeling of hysteria Conditioned to respond to all the threats In the rhetorical speeches of the Soviets Mister Krushchev said, 'We will bury you I don't subscribe to this point of view It'd be such an ignorant thing to do If the Russians love their children too How can I save my little boy From Oppenheimer's deadly toy? There is no monopoly on common sense On either side of the political fence We share the same biology Regardless of ideology Believe me when I say to you I hope the Russians love their children too There is no historical precedent to put Words in the mouth of the president There's no such thing as a winnable war It's a lie we don't believe anymore Mister Reagan says 'We will protect you I don't subscribe to this point of view Believe me when I say to you I hope the Russians love their children too We share the same biology Regardless of ideology What might save us, me and you Is if the Russians love their children too...

Saint Augustine In Hell Saint Augustine In Hell If somebody up there likes me Somebody up there cares Deliver me from evil Save me from these wicked snares Not into temptation, not to cliffs of fall On to revelation, and lesson for us all She walked into the room On the arm of my best friend I knew whatever happened Our friendship would end Chemical reaction, desire at first sight Mystical attraction, turned out all my lights The minute I saw her face The second I caught her eye The minute I touched the flame I knew it would never die The minute I saw her face The second I caught her eye The minute I touched the flame I knew it would never die I don't know if it's pain Or pleasure that I seek My flesh was all too willing My spirit guide was weak I was deadly certain His thoughts for me weren't kind A switchblade in his pocket Murder on his mind Blessed St. Theresa the whore of Babylon Madonna and my mother all rolled into one You've got to understand me I'm not a piece of wood Francis of Assisi Could never be this good [The less I need the more I get Make me chaste but not just yet It's a promise or a lie I'll repent before I die] The minute I saw her face The second I caught her eye The minute I touched the flame I knew it would never die The minute I saw her face The second I caught her eye The minute I touched the flame I knew it would never die [Spoken] Relax, have a cigar, make yourself at home. Hell is full of high court judges, failed saints. We've got Cardinals, Archbishops, barristers, Certified accountants, music critics, They're all here. You're not alone You're never alone, not here you're not. OK break's over... [The less I need the more I get Make me chaste but not just yet It's a promise or a lie I'll repent before I die] The minute I saw her face The second I caught her eye The minute I touched the flame I knew it would never die The minute I saw her face The second I caught her eye The minute I touched the flame I knew it would never die...

Secret Journey Secret Journey Upon a secret journey I met a holy man His blindness was his wisdom I'm such a lonely man And as the world was turning It rolled itself in pain This does not seem to touch you He pointed to the rain You will see light in the darkness You will make some sense of this And when you've made your secret journey You will find this love you miss And on the days that followed I listened to his words I strained to understand him I chased his thoughts like birds You will see light in the darkness You will make some sense of this And when you've made your secret journey You will find this love you miss You will see light in the darkness You will make some sense of this You will see joy in this sadness You will find this love you miss And when you've made your secret journey You will be a holy man And when you've made your secret journey You will be a holy man And when you've made your secret journey You will be a holy man And when you've made your secret journey You will be a holy man...

Seven Days Seven Days 'Seven days, was all she wrote A kind of ultimatum note, she gave to me She gave to me When I thought the field had cleared It seems another suit appeared to challenge me Woe is me Though I hate to make a choice My options are decreasing mostly rapidly Well, we'll see I don't think she'd bluff this time I really have to make her mine It's plain to see, it's him or me Monday, I could wait till Tuesday If I make up my mind Wedn'sday would be fine Thursday's on my mind Friday'd give me time Saturday could wait But Sunday'd be too late The fact he's over six feet ten Might instil fear in other men But not in me The mighty flea Ask if I am mouse or man The mirror squeaked, away I ran He'll murder me in time for his tea Does it bother me at all? My rival is Neanderthal It makes me think Perhaps I need a drink I.Q. is no problem here We won't be playing Scrabble for Her hand, I fear I need that beer Monday, I could wait till Tuesday If I make up my mind Wedn'sday would be fine Thursday's on my mind Friday'd give me time Saturday could wait But Sunday'd be too late Seven days will quickly go The fact remains, I love her so Seven days So many ways But I can't run away I can't run away Monday, I could wait till Tuesday If I make up my mind Wedn'sday would be fine Thursday's on my mind Friday'd give me time Saturday could wait But Sunday'd be too late Do I have to tell a story Of a thousand rainy days Since we first met? It's a big enough umbrella But it's always me that ends up Getting wet. Yeah, Yeah... Sting |
Shadows In The Rain Shadows In The Rain I woke up in my clothes again this morning I don't know exactly where I am And I should heed my doctor's warning He does the best with me he can He claims I suffer from delusion But I'm so confident I'm sane It can't be an optical illusion So how can you explain Shadows in the rain And if you see us on the corner We're just dancing in the rain I tell my friends there when I see them Outside my window pane Shadows in the rain...

Shape of My Heart Shape of My Heart He deals the cards as a meditation And those he plays never suspect He doesn`t play for the money he wins He don`t play for respect He deals the cards to find the answer The sacred geometry of chance The hidden law of a probable outcome The numbers lead a dance I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier I know that the clubs are weapons of war I know that diamonds mean money for this art But that`s not the shape of my heart He may play the jack of diamonds He may lay the queen of spades He may conceal a king in his hand While the memory of it fades I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier I know that the clubs are weapons of war I know that diamonds mean money for this art But that`s not the shape of my heart And if I told you that I loved you You`d maybe think there`s something wrong I`m not a man of too many faces The mask I wear is one Well, those who speak know nothin` And find out to their cost Like those who curse their luck in too many places And those who fear are lost I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier I know that the clubs are weapons of war I know that diamonds mean money for this art But that`s not the shape of my heart That`s not the shape, the shape of my heart That`s not the shape, the shape of my heart...

She's Too Good For Me She's Too Good For Me She don't like to hear me sing She don't want no diamond ring She don't want to drive my car She won't let me go that far She don't like the way I look She don't like the things I cook She don't like the way I play She don't like the things I say But oh, oh, the games we play She's too good for me She's too good for me She don't like the jokes I make She don't like the drugs I take She don't like the friends I got She don't like my friends a lot She don't like the clothes I wear She don't like the way I stare She don't like the tales I tell She don't like the way I smell But oh, oh, the games we play She's too good for me She's too good for me Would she prefer it if I washed myself more often than I do? Would she prefer it if I took her to an opera or two? I could distort myself to be the perfect man She might prefer me as I am. Oh, She don't want to meet my folks She don't want to hear my jokes She don't want to fix my tie She don't want to even try She don't like the books I read She don't like the way I feed She don't want to save my life She don't want to be my wife But oh, oh, the games we play She's too good for me She's too good for me She's too good for me She's too good for me She's too good for me...
