C'est La Vie

C'est la vie - have your leaves all turned to brown
Will you scatter them around you - c'est la vie
Do you love - and then how am I to know
If you don't let your love show for me - c'est la vie
Chorus: Oh - oh - c'est la vie - Oh - oh - c'est la vie
Who knows - who cares for me - c'est la vie
In the night - do you light a lover's fire
Do the ashes of desire for you remain
Like the sea - there's a love too deep to show
Took a storm before my love flowed for you - c'est la vie
Chorus
Like a song - out of tune and out of time
All I needed was a rhyme for you - c'est la vie
Do you give - do you live from day to day
Is there no song I can play for you - c'est la vie
Chorus

Molly

When I was a young man I ran away from home
I went to join the circus
I went to see the cotton candy world and make me lots of money
On my own - for Molly - oh my pretty Molly - she's waitin' all alone
Someday soon I will return to her
Then I made the big time - bright lights - show biz
I'm really in the circus
There's only one thing wrong - I haven't saved a penny
On my own - for Molly - now my pretty Molly
But she's writing every day - Molly understands so it's OK
Ride a windy box car and see a thousand children young and old
Oh - that grease paint smile can hide your soul
Here comes the carousel - guess which town it is - feel the thrill
Grease paint covers everything but winter's chill
I'm reading Molly's letter
The ink is fading & the page is turning yellow
Long ago I promised Molly don't you know
I will close my eyes and go to her

Lonely at the Top
02:41

I've been around the world
Had my pick of any girl
You'd think I'd be happy but I'm not
Everybody knows my name
But it's just a crazy game
Oh - it's lonely at the top
Listen to the band they're playin' just for me
Listen to the people payin' just for me
All the applause and all the parades
And all the money I have made
Oh - it's lonely at the top
Listen all you fools out there
Go on and love me - I don't care
Oh - it's lonely at the top
All the applause and all the parades
And all the money I have made
Oh - it's lonely at the top
Oh - it's lonely at the top

Two Little Men

There was a little man who lived in the wood
He would work all day do what he could
He would work on his farm
Never would he do no harm
Till someone tried to take his farm in the wood
There was a little man who lived by the sea
He would fish all day to some degree
Never bothered a soul
Never would he lose control
Till someone tried to take his boat by the sea
The farmer got his rifle - the fisherman got his gun
The old men tried to tan their hide - each and every one

Do You Remember
03:40

Candle lights are slowly fading as I spot you 'cross the room
And my heart's anticipating just one moment next to you
All this time I've been without you I can still feel you so close
Thought I stopped thinkin' about you but I guess my feeling shows
Chorus: Is this the girl that I once knew
You were my world when a dream was all we knew - my girl
Remember the night we met
The moon was bright - I walked you home
We stood in the light - you took a piece of my heart that night
Do you remember when
Chorus: Is this the girl that I once knew
You were my world when a dream was all we knew - my girl
Remember the night we met
The moon was bright - I walked you home
We stood in the light - you took a piece of my heart that night
Do you remember - do you remember when

Your Latest Trick
04:36
|
|||
|
All the late night bargains have been struck
Between the satin beaus and their belles
And prehistoric garbage trucks have the city to themselves
Echoes, roars, dinosaurs - they're all doing the monster mash
And most of the taxis and most of the whores
Are only taking calls for cash
Chorus: I don't know how it happened - it all took place so quick
But all I can do is hand it to you and your latest trick
My door was standing wide open
Security was laid back and lax
But it was only my heart that got broken
You must have had a pass key made out of wax
You played robbery with insolence
And I played the blues in 12 bars down Lover's Lane
And you never did have the intelligence to use
The 12 keys hanging off of my chain
Chorus:
Now it's past last call for alcohol
Past recall has been here and gone
The landlord finally paid us all
The satin jazz men have put away their horns
And we're standing outside of this wonderland
Looking so bereaved and so bereft
Like a bowery bum when he finally understands
The bottle's empty and there's nothing left
Chorus: I don't know how it happened
It was faster than the eye could flick
But all I can do is hand it to you and your latest trick
