The Attraction of Opposites

Music By Sebastijan Duh
Lyrics by John Greaves

I’m this you’re that
You’re sharp and I’m flat
You’re hot I’m not
you’re bold and I’m shy
Maybe one day w’ell see eye to eye?

We’re told that it’s a fact
That opposites attract
Are we made for each other?
Funny how it goes
You hit it on the nose (Yeah!)

I’ll be here ,you’ll be there
We could be anywhere
I’don’t care, we’re a pair
What are we waiting for?
I don’t see no need for hesitating

Let’s not analyse
The wherefore’s and the why’s
Cos you know that there is no
Better place to start
Listen to your heart

We can go readily
Taking it steadily
Perfectly thrlilingly
Ever so willingly
It’s not complicated

I can go high
I can go low
Fast,
slow
Let that river flow

Maybe we are right
Maybe we are wrong
It was meant to happen all along
So if he is mine I’m his
That’s the way it is
Love is bitter-sweet
There’s nothing we can
Do about it

Is it all probable?
Nothing’s impossible
chemical,’lectrical, don’t try to fight it it’s
Cleary unavoidable

Don’t ask why
Don’t try to understand


Just give me your hand
My oh my is this life… Grand

MONSTERS

Music by Julien vega
Lyrics by John Greaves & Julien Vega

Ladies and gentlemen
Now is the time
Dusk has fallen
And long will be the night

Are you ready? Behold this most
Awful terrifying sight
Dear guests Please welcome...
The monsters!

Monsters
We are monsters
Monsters
Wild monsters

See these ugly faces
The power in their jaws
There’s evil their gazes
And no pity in their claws

Come closer don’t be shy
Chains about their necks do lie
Just watch them do their stuff
Scream when you’ve had enough

Nasty monsters, ugly monsters, freaky monsters, mean monsters!!!

THE TALK OF THE TOWN

Music by Julien Vega
Lyrics by John Greaves & Julien Vega

At last here comes the big day
I’ve waited for this moment
For so long
I’ve got a Broadway opening
Finally things are happening
My way

There will be lines around the block
Stars in limos, famous celebrities
New York’s finest
All come to see me

The thrill, the magic of applause,
Someone like me simply adores
If I’m a hit I must admit immodestly
I had it coming to me

The heights of fame are heady
But I am more than ready
To get there
So here I am at last
I’m going places fast
And I know where

I’ve always been aware of it
One day I’ll be getting my share of it
And I’m gonna be
The talk of the town

The thrill, the magic of applause,
That little old me simply adores
If I’m a hit I must admit immodestly
I had it coming to me and the whole world can see that I’m ready to be
The talk of the town

THE LYRICIST’S LAMENT

Music by Sebastijan Duh
Lyrics by John Greaves

I was asked to write a song
I said “Easy,” it’s “easy peasy”
Just find a word at the end of the line
Then you gotta make it rhyme
With love and stars above
It won’t take you very long

But I found out that I was wrong
Wasn’t thinking, had I been drinking?
Words don’t fall like rain from the sky
But a lot of little jewels
Like tiny molecules
Could grow up to be a song

Try to sing it using verbal dexterity
You can wing it schmoozing perfect sincerity
You could be climbing a stairway to heaven
Once you’re up it you’ll be stuck like a puppet on a string

So we’re coming to the end the conclusion
No illusion,
This little story’s hit the end of the road
And it’s just a bunch of sounds
To please the ear
So nice to hear
And you got another job
Done and dusted

FARMER GIRL

Music by Julien Vega
Lyrics by John Greaves & Julien Vega

HERE ALL ALONE IN THE CORNFIELD AT NIGHT
THE SKY’S FULL OF STARS
AND THE MOON’S SHINING BRIGHT
IF ONLY I COULD FLY OFF LIKE A BIRD,
FLY AWAY, FLY AWAY, LIKE A BLUE BIRD.

Chorus

I’LL BE DANCER TWIRLING AROUND
AN ACTRESS, A SINGER, A BEAUTY QUEEN CROWNED
MY FACE WILL BE SEEN IN EVERY MAGAZINE
FROM PARIS TO L. A.
FROM NEW YORK TO BOMBAY
FARMER GIRL, FARMER GIRL, FLY AWAY ! (DREAM AWAY)

MY MA AND PA BOTH WORK HARD ON THE LAND,
I DO MY DAMNEDEST TO LEND THEM A HAND,
I COULD NOT STAND ALL THE STRUGGLE AND STRIFE
FARMER GIRL, FARMER’S WIFE…NOT ON YOUR LIFE.

Chorus

I JUST CAN’T LIVE LIKE A BIRD IN A CAGE
EACH DAY THAT GOES BY SEEMS MORE LIKE AN AGE
INTO THE NIGHT SKY AWAY I WILL FLY
FLY AWAY FLY AWAY LIKE A BLUEBIRD

I’LL BE DANCER TWIRLING AROUND
AN ACTRESS, A SINGER, A BEAUTY QUEEN CROWNED
MY FACE WILL BE SEEN IN EVERY MAGAZINE
FROM PARIS TO L. A.
FROM NEW YORK TO BOMBAY
ALL THIS I’LL ACHIEVE
CALL ME NAÏVE
BUT I BELIEVE
DREAMS CAN COME TRUE

I wanna say to the stars
That light the sky
My tears to dry
And scold that doggoned moon
Who drives me loon and makes me croon

She’s on my mind forever
And I may be wrong for the rest of my days
But I can’t ignore the girl next door

You must believe in the sun that’s shining above
Burning my love
And if I forgot to eat or sleep and pray
I have to say
Happiness is all that I wish
I want you to cuddle and kiss

I’m so sorry
For lovin’ you so

She’s on my mind forever
And I’ll be waiting for the rest of my days
The one I adore the girl next door

You must believe in the sun that shines above
Burning my love
And if I forgot to eat or sleep and pray
I have to say
Happiness is all that I wish
I want you to cuddle and kiss

FR:

I’m so sorry
Please believe me
I’m so sorry
For lovin’ you so

Je veux dire aux étoiles
Qui éclairent le ciel
Qu’elles sèchent mes larmes
Et qu’elle gronde cette sacrée lune
Qui me rend fou et me fait chantonner
Elle est éternellement dans mes pensées
Et j’aurais peut-être tort pour le restant de mes jours
Mais je ne peux pas ignorer la fille d’à côté.

Il faut croire en le soleil qui brille au-dessus de nous
Brûlant mon amour
Et si j’oublie de manger, de dormir et de prier
Je dois dire que la joie est tout ce que je souhaite
Je veux te caliner et t’embrasser.

Most of all I love you
And more than this, I need you
I dream of you all day long
I’m just like a child
I must say

Most of all I’ve tried to
Keep your heart, and give you mine
I’m so sad; it’s time to confess
I’ve missed the boat to happiness,
But you’re my girl,
And most of all I love you

I would give anything
To have you back in my dreams
Those tears falling from the sky
‘Cause the sun goes down when you go

Most of all I’ve tried to
Keep your heart, and give you mine
I agree, it’s time to confess
I’ve missed the boat to happiness,
But you’re my girl,
And most of all I love you

I would give anything
To have you back in my dreams
Tears falling from the sky
‘Cause the sun goes down when you go

Most of all I’ve tried to
Keep your heart, and give you mine
I agree, it’s time to confess
I’ve missed the boat to happiness,
You’re my girl,
And most of all I love you

FR:

Surtout je t’aime
Et de plus j’ai besoin de toi
Je rêve de toi toute la journée
Et je dois dire que je suis
Comme un enfant
Et surtout

j’essaie de garder ton cœur
et de te donner le mien.
Je suis tellement triste, il est temps que je confesse,
Que j’ai raté le bateau du bonheur
Et surtout, je t’aime

Je donnerais tout
Pour te retrouver dans mes rêves
Ces larmes tombant du ciel
Car le soleil se couche quand tu pars

Surtout
j’essaie de garder ton cœur
et de te donner le mien.

Je suis d’accord il est temps que je confesse,
Que j’ai raté le bateau du bonheur
Et surtout, je t’aime

I JUST DON’T CARE

Music by Sebastijan Duh
Lyrics by John Greaves

THERE IS SOMETHING IN HIS EYES
THAT I SHOULD RECOGNIZE
BE SMART BE COOL BEWARE

EVEN THO I REALIZE
IT’S PROBABLY UNWISE
I JUST DON’T CARE

MY FEET ARE OFF THE GROUND
MY POOR HEAD IS SPINNING AROUND

PLEASE JUST LET ME FANTASIZE
HE’S NOT LIKE OTHER GUYS
IT’S REAL LOVE I HAVE FOUND

LOOKS LIKE THE WRITING’S ON THE WALL
NO USE IN FIGHTING, NONE AT ALL
WHO COULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT I WOULD FALL
SO HELPLESSLY ?

IF YOU’RE THINKING I AM DUMB
TO FALL UNDER HIS THUMB
DUMB MAYBE BUT I’M HAPPY

COCONUT TREE

Music by Julien Vega
Lyrics by John Greaves & Julien Vega

I’VE BEEN TO PARIS AND LONDON
IT’S ALL WORK THERE’S NO FUN
PUSHING, SHOVING ALL AROUND
NOBODY’S HAPPY I’LL BE BOUND

I’VE BEEN TO MOSCOW AND TO TORONTO
NEVER SEEN SO MUCH SNOW
THIS IS NOT THE PLACE TO BE
10 BELOW IS NOT FOR ME

THE SEA THE SUN AND THE COCONUT TREE
THAT IS ALL YOU NEED TO SEE
THERE’S NO BETTER PLACE TO BE
THE SEA, THE SUN AND A COCONUT TREE

ONE THING I’M SURE OF
I NEED SOME MORE OF
ENCORE, ENCORE OF
THE SEA THE SUN AND THE COCONUT TREE


I BEEN TO TOKYO AND NEW YORK
ALL THEM SIGNS SAY STOP DON’T WALK
I JUST WANT TO FLY AWAY
BACK TO WHERE THE STEEL BANDS PLAY

THAT IS ALL THAT I WANT TO SAY

THE SEA THESUN AND A COCONUT TREE
THAT IS ALL YOU NEED TO SEE
THERE’S NO BETTER PLACE TO BE
THE SEA, THE SUN AND THE COCONUT TREE
