This is the end
Hold your breath and count to ten
Feel the earth move and then
Hear my heart burst again

For this is the end
I've drowned and dreamt this moment
So overdue I owe them
Swept away, I'm stolen

Let the sky fall
When it crumbles
We will stand tall
Face it all together

Let the sky fall
When it crumbles
We will stand tall
Face it all together
At skyfall
At skyfall

That made me want to cry ekim :'(.

Now the sun is sinking low
Children playin' know it's time to go
High above a spot appears
A little blossom blooms and then draws near
And the sun is sinking low

Now the sun has come to Earth
Shrouded in a mushroom cloud of death
Death comes in a blinding flash
Of hellish heat and leaves a smear of ash
And the sun has come to Earth

Now the sun has disappeared
All is darkness, anger, pain and fear
Twisted, sightless wrecks of men
Go groping on their knees and cry in pain
And the sun has disappeared
True Wit is Nature to Advantage drest,
          What oft was Thought, but ne’er so well Exprest

Then it's time for you to sing:-
 ;D ;D ;D
Joy bells are ringing,
The songs birds are singing,
And everyone's happy and gay.
Dull days are over,
We'll soon be in clover,
So pack all your troubles away.

The sun has got his hat on
Hip-hip-hip-hooray!
The sun has got his hat on,
He's coming out today.

Now we'll all be happy,
Hip-hip-hip-hooray!
The sun has got his hat on,
And he's coming out today.

(Of course, in today's lingo not everyone is gay)

I feel pretty,
Oh, so pretty,
I feel pretty and witty and gay!
And I pity
Any girl who isn't me today.

I feel charming,
Oh, so charming
It's alarming how charming I feel!
And so pretty
That I hardly can believe I'm real.

Don't try to kid us that if you're discreet
 You're perfectly safe as you walk down the street
 You don't have to mince or make bitchy remarks
 To get beaten unconscious and left in the dark
 I had a friend who was gentle and short
 He was lonely one evening and went for a walk
 Queerbashers caught him and kicked in his teeth
 He was only hospitalised for a week

 Sing if you're glad to be gay
 Sing if you're happy that way
Before we work on Artificial Intelligence shouldn't we address the problem of natural stupidity.

I have often walked down the street before
But the pavement always
Stayed beneath my feet before
All at once am I
Several stories high
Knowing I'm on the street where you live.

Are there lilac trees
In the heart of town?
Can you hear a lark in any other part of town?
Does enchantment pour
Out of every door?
No, it's just on the street where you live.

I play the streetlife because there's no place I can go
Streetlife, it's the only life I know
Streetlife and there's a thousand parts to play
Streetlife until you play your life away

You let the people see, just who you wanna be
And every night you shine just like a superstar
That's how the life is played a ten cent masquerade
You dress, you walk, you talk, you're who you think you are

If you see me walking down the street
And I start to cry each time we meet
Walk on by, walk on by
Make believe
That you don't see the tears
Just let me grieve
In private 'cause each time I see you
I break down and cry
And walk on by (don't stop)
And walk on by (don't stop)
And walk on by.

The best you thing you can do is just to ignore me
Forget I was born
Baby, ignore me
Since you don't need me anymore
You can ignore me
like we never met before
Baby, ignore me
since you don't need me anymore

Bad luck and trouble is my only friend
I've been down ever since I was ten.

Born under a bad sign
I've been down since I began to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck
I wouldn't have no luck at all.

More wine and women is all I crave
Big bad women gunna carry me to my grave.
Ah, but I was so much older then ... I'm younger than that now

You tell lies thinking I can't see
You can't cry 'cause you're laughing at me
I'm down (I'm really down)
I'm down (Down on the ground)
I'm down (I'm really down)
How can you laugh when you know I'm down
(How can you laugh) When you know I'm down

Man buys ring woman throws it away
Same old thing happens everyday
I'm down (I'm really down)
I'm down (Down on the ground)
I'm down (I'm really down)
How can you laugh when you know I'm down
(How can you laugh) When you know I'm down

Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down

Here's a health to the King and a lasting peace
To faction end, to wealth increase
Come, let us drink while we have breath
For there's no drinking after death

And he that will this health deny
Down among the dead men, down among the dead men
Down, down, down, down
Down among the dead men let him lie!

Sens la pluie comme un été anglais
 Entends les notes d'une chanson lointaine
 Sortant de derrière un poster
 Espérant que la vie ne fut aussi longue

 We fade to grey (fade to grey)
 We fade to grey (fade to grey)

Des yeux qui font baisser les miens
Un rire qui se perd sur sa bouche
Voilà le portrait sans retouches
De l'homme auquel j'appartiens
Quand il me prend dans ses bras
Il me parle tout bas
Je vois la vie en rose

Oh, now I'm gonna find her
 For my heart is full of woe
 We'll do the things together
 We did so long ago
 We'll play the banjo gaily
 She'll love me like before
 And the Yellow Rose of Texas
 Shall be mine forevermore

if you see me cryin'
Just touch my hand, don't pass me by
'Cause girl, I am tryin'
To find you, I need you, lady

'Cause girl, I am searching for you
And will you help me find my way
And girl, I am searching for you
And will you kindly show your face

Just like Pagliacci did
I try to keep my sadness hid
Smiling in the public eye
But in my lonely room I cry
The tears of a clown
When there's no one around

No! I'm not a clown!
If my face is pale
it's from shame
and from craving for revenge.

The man is taking back his rights
and the heart that bleeds wants blood
to wash away the shame,
oh, accursed woman!

No, I'm not a clown!
I'm the one who, stupid,
picked up you, a little orphan on the street,
almost dead of hunger and offered you a name
and a crazy feverish love.
Ah, but I was so much older then ... I'm younger than that now

My friends feel it's their appointed duty
They keep trying to tell me all you want to do is use me
But my answer yeah to all that use me stuff
Is I want to spread the news that if it feels this good getting used
Oh you just keep on using me until you use me up
Until you use me up

My brother sit me right down and he talked to me
He told me that I ought not to let you just walk on me
And I'm sure he meant well yeah but when our talk was through
I said brother if you only knew you'd wish that you were in my shoes
You just keep on using me until you use me up
Until you use me up

Whats the use of wondring
If hes good or if hes bad
Or if you like the way he wears his hat?
Oh, whats the use of wondring
If hes good or if hes bad?
Hes your fella and you love him
That's all there is to that.

Common sense may tell you
That the ending will be sad
And now's the time to break and run away
But whats the use of wondring
If the ending will be sad?
Hes your fella and you love him
There's nothing more to say.

By the look in your eye 
I can tell you're gonna cry
Is it over me?
If it is, save your tears
For I'm not worth it, you see

For I'm the type of boy who is always on the run
Wherever I lay my hat that's my home
I'm telling you that's my home

Ooh, girl, I'm leaving you
Yes, I'm leaving you
I've got to go tonight
Ooh, girl, I'm leaving you
Yes, I'm leaving you, I've got to go
I can't stay

You shouldn't feel so blue
Shouldn't feel so blue
When I go tonight
Baby, you shouldn't feel so blue
Shouldn't feel so blue, when I'm gone
I can't stay

Come with me
While the moon is on the sea,
The night is young
And so are we, so are we

Dreams come true
In blue Hawaii
And mine could all come true
This magic night of nights with you

I feel so bad I got a worried mind
I'm so lonesome all the time
Since I left my baby behind
On Blue Bayou

Saving nickles, saving dimes
Working til the sun don't shine
Looking forward to happier times
On Blue Bayou

I'm going back someday
Come what may
To Blue Bayou

Where the folks are fun
And the world is mine
On Blue Bayou

A good-bye Joe, you gotta go, me oh my oh
He gotta go-pole the pirogue down the bayou
His Yvonne the sweetest one, me oh my oh
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou

Thibodaux, Fontaineaux, the place is buzzin'
A kinfolk come to see Yvonne by the dozen
Dressed in style they go hog wild, me oh my oh
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou

Jambalaya, crawfish pie and fillet gumbo
For tonight, I'm-a gonna see my ma cher a mi-o
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-o
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou
