How Long Is Too Long Wasn't Long Enough

[Nearly Sane]

Your love is king
Crown you with my heart
Your love is king
Never need to part
Your kisses ring
Round and round and round my head
Touching the very part of me
It's making my soul sing
Tearing the very heart of me
I'm crying out for more 
Your love is king
Crown you with my heart
Your love is king
You're the ruler of my heart
Your kisses ring
Round and round and round my head
Touching the very part of me
It's making my soul sing
I'm crying out for more
Your love is king 

[Aruntraveller]

Tu corazón, es el lugar de mis sueños
Dónde me pierdo y me encuentro
Es mi refugio de amor
Tu corazón, es donde yo vivo y muero
Me hace sentir tan completo
Vivamos al mismo latir... corazón....corazón

Es en la luz de tus ojos
Que llego a encontrar mi paz
Solo a tu lado, no existe ni tiempo ni espacio

Por dónde quiera que estés
Yo contigo estaré
Te he buscado por cada rincón

[Nearly Sane]

Oh I wear my heart on my sleeve, don't count the cost
 If I can't live in love, then surely I've lost
 Oh you tend to get burn, tend to get bruised
 But it's my life, the way that I choose

 And I just wanna let you know
 Sometimes I find it so hard not to show
 Oh don't sigh, baby you're not alone

 I wear my heart on my sleeve, I wear my heart on my sleeve
 I wear my heart on my sleeve, I wear my heart on my sleeve

[Robbie]

Everybody knows that I love you
Everybody knows that I need you
Everybody knows that I do, except you

I told the stars above
About the one I love
I told the morning sun
Yeah I'm telling everyone
I told my mum and dad
They seemed to understand
And I'll get through to you
If it's the last thing that I do

Everybody knows that I love you
Everybody knows that I need you
Everybody knows that I do, except you

[Nearly Sane]

Don't remember where I was
I realized life was a game
The more seriously I took things
The harder the rules became
I had no idea what it'd cost
My life passed before my eyes
When I found out how little I accomplished
All my plans denied

So as you read this know my friends
I'd love to stay with you all
Please smile when you think of me
My body's gone that's all

À tout le monde [To all the world]
À tout mes amis [To all my friends]
Je vous aime [I love you]
Je dois partir [I have to leave]
These are the last words
I'll ever speak
And they'll set me free

[Robbie]

Hey yo when this first started off it was just linkin park...
then in the middle came motion man...
and at the end of it all it was kutmasta kut wit a remix One thing i don't know why
it doesn't even matter how hard you try
keep that in mind i designed this rhyme when i was obsessed with time
all i know, time was just slipping way
and i watched it count down till the end of the day
watched it watch me and the words that i say
the echo of the clock rhythm in my veins
i know that i didn't look out below
and i watched the time go right out the window
trying to grab hold, trying not to watch
i wasted it all on the hands of the clock
but in the end no matter what i pretend
the journey is more important than the end or the start
and what it meant to me will eventually be
a memory of the time when i tried so hard

I tried so hard
and got so far
but in the end
it doesn't even matter

[Nearly Sane]

Don't put your head on my shoulder
Sink me in a river of tears
This could be the best place yet
But you must overcome your fears
In time we could've been so much more
But time is precious I know
In time we could've been so much more
The time has nothing to show
because
Time won't give me time
And time makes lovers feel
Like they've got something real
But you and me we know
We got nothing
but time
And time won't give me time
Won't give me time
Don't make me feel any colder
Time is like a clock in my heart

[Aruntraveller]

Now you say you're lonely
You cry the whole night thorough
Well, you can cry me a river, cry me a river
I cried a river over you
Now you say you're sorry
For bein' so untrue
Well, you can cry me a river, cry me a river
I cried a river over you

[Nearly Sane]

Betty came by on her way
 Said she had a word to say
About things today
 And fallen leaves.

 Said she hadn't heard the news
 Hadn't had the time to choose
 A way to lose
 But she believes.

 Going to see the river man
 Going to tell him all I can
 About the plan
 For lilac time.

[Robbie]

Jeannine, I dream of lilac time
Your eyes, they beam in the lilac time
Your winning smile
And cheeks blushing like the rose
Yet all the while, you sigh when nobody knows
Jeannine, my queen of lilac times
When I return, I'll make you mine
For you and I, our love dream can never die

[Nearly Sane]

We'll gather lilacs in the spring again
And walk together down a British lane
Until our hearts have learned to sing again
When you come home once more

And in the evening by the firelight's glow
You'll hold me close and never let me go
Your eyes will tell me all I long to know
When you come home once more

[Robbie]

Look out baby
Look out Pet
Here's the kid
Who's gonna get the Blues
When you go away
I'm on fire
Cause I'm in love
With a girl who's not the girl she was
When I was out with her

I saw you in the garden baby
You looked so debonair
Beware of the flowers
'Cause I'm sure they're gonna get you
Yeah!

(The incomparable John Otway whom I have seen live three times. He is such fun!)

[ekim]

There's an old superstition 'way down south
Everybody believes that trouble won't stay
If you shake it away

When they hold a revival way down south
Everybody with care and trouble that day
Tries to shake it away

Shaking the blues away, unhappy news away
If you are blue, it's easy to
Shake off your cares and troubles

Telling the blues to go, they may refuse to go
But as a rule, they'll go if you'll
Shake them away

[Nearly Sane]

I never miss a beat
 I'm lightning on my feet
 And that's what they don't see, mmm-mmm
 That's what they don't see, mmm-mmm

 I'm dancing on my own (dancing on my own)
 I make the moves up as I go (moves up as I go)
 And that's what they don't know, mmm-mmm
 That's what they don't know, mmm-mmm

 But I keep cruising
 Can't stop, won't stop grooving
 It's like I got this music
 In my mind
 Saying, "It's gonna be alright."

 'Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play
 And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate
 Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
 I shake it off, I shake it off
 Heart-breakers gonna break, break, break, break, break
 And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake
 Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
 I shake it off, I shake it off

[Robbie]

I'm in a dancing mood
I'm in a dancing mood
I'm in a dancing mood

When you feel the beat
You've got to move your feet
You've got to clap your hands
You've got all the soul
Deep inside 'cause you can't hide

I'm in a dancing mood

[Nearly Sane]

Daddy started out in San Francisco
 Tootin' on his trumpet loud and mean
 Suddenly a voice said, go forth, Daddy
 Spread the picture on a widest screen
 And the voice said, Daddy, there's a million pigeons
 Waitin' to be hooked on new religions
 Hit the road, Daddy leave your common law wife
 Spread the religion of the rhythm of life

 And the rhythm of life is a powerful beat
 Puts a tingle in your fingers and a tingle in your feet
 Rhythm in your bedroom, rhythm in the street
 Yes, the rhythm of life is a powerful beat

[Aruntraveller]

Single pigeon through the railing
Did she throw you out
Sunday morning fight about Saturday night
Single seagull gliding over Regent's Park canal
Do you need a pal for a minute or two
You do
Me too, me too, me too
I'm a lot like you
Me too, me too, me too
I'm a lot like you

[Nearly Sane]

Early each day to the steps of Saint Paul's
The little old bird woman comes
In her own special way to the people
She calls, "Come, buy my bags full of crumbs"

"Come feed the little birds, show them you care
And you'll be glad if you do
Their young ones are hungry, their nests are so bare
All it takes is tuppence from you"

Feed the birds, tuppence a bag
Tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag
Feed the birds," that's what she cries
While overhead, her birds fill the skies

[Robbie]

Spring is here, spring is here
Life is skittles and life is beer
I think the loveliest time of the year
Is the spring, I do, don't you? Course you do
But there's one thing that makes spring complete for me
And makes every Sunday a treat for me

All the world seems in tune on a spring afternoon
When we're poisoning pigeons in the park
Every Sunday you'll see my sweetheart and me
As we poison the pigeons in the park
When they see us coming
The birdies all try and hide
But they still go for peanuts
When coated with cyanide

The sun's shining bright
Everything seems all right
When we're poisoning pigeons in the park

[Nearly Sane]

Your cruel device,
Your blood like ice.
One look could kill,
My pain, your thrill.

I wanna love you, but I better not touch (don't touch)
I wanna hold you, but my senses tell me to stop
I wanna kiss you, but I want it too much (too much)
I wanna taste you, but your lips are venomous poison

[Robbie]

White shirt, now red my bloody nose
Sleeping, you're on your tippy toes
Creeping around like no one knows
Think you're so criminal
Bruises, on both my knees for you
Don't say thank you or please
I do what I want when I'm wanting to
My soul? So cynical

So you're a tough guy
Like it really rough guy
Just can't get enough guy
Chest always so puffed guy
I'm that bad type
Make your mama sad type
Make your girlfriend mad tight
Might seduce your dad type
I'm the bad guy, duh

I'm the bad guy

[Nearly Sane]

Folks think want an extra special kind
when i get the type of man i want
i know i’m gonna have a little time
got to be ambitious, a man that loves to work
i don’t want no man that’s lazy, no man that tries to shirk
i want a two-fisted, double-jointed, rough and ready man
i want a hard working, no shirking, good and steady man

now he can be a backwards farmer or a digger in a ditch
he can even drive a garbage wagon
honey it don’t make no difference which
long as he’s a two-fisted (oh please), double-jointed, rough and ready man
i want a hard working, no shirking, good and steady man

[Robbie]

We got a bucket of Corona,
Enough stories to last all night,
About the trials and tribulations,
Of findin' Mr. Right:
Of findin' a good man.

Here's to the liars and the cheaters and the cold mistreaters;
To the Momma's boys who can't make a stand.
Here's to the superficial players;
The "I love ya" too-soon-sayers;
If you hear me girls, raise your hand:
Let's have a toast:
Here's to findin' a good man.

Blind dates an' horror stories;
Pushy gals and fast movers.
Let's dedicate this girl's night out,
To big-talkers; bad losers,
It's so hard findin' a good man.

[Aruntraveller]

It's so hard findin' a good man.

On the other hand it's good finding a hard man.

Anyway:


When you grow up, livin' like a good boy oughta
And your mama, takes a shine to her best son
Something different, all the girls they seem to like you
Cause you're handsome, like to talk and a whole lot of fun
But now your girl's gone a missin'
And your house has got an empty bed
The folks'll wonder 'bout the wedding
They won't listen to a word you said
Gonna take your mama out all night
Yeah we'll show her what it's all about
We'll get her jacked up on some cheap champagne
We'll let the good times all roll out
And if the music ain't good, well it's just too bad
We're gonna sing along no matter what
Because the dancers don't mind at the New Orleans
If you tip 'em and they make a cut

[Nearly Sane]

Seeing na-na, my parin
Couzine and my ma and pa
Want to plant my feet on Rampart Street
Be there for the Mardi Gras

Goin' back home, fe nan e'
And never more will I roam
Goin get me fill of that etoufee
Cus New Orleans is my home
