1. _ Toreador In The Rain
Sad little boy of the street
Hands of a thief
With the mind of a dreamer
Dodging the puddles with feet
Of a torero in an arena
Sings an old andalucian song
Dancing along
Using his dirty red coat as a cape
Rain thundering down
Sounds like the applause from
Hundreds of people
He feels free as the wind
Free as the swifts
Around the cathedral
Kneels to acknowledge his fame
Forgets all his pain
Little toreador in the rain
Bathed in a rainbow of pink
Purple and blue outside la molina
The pavement reflecting the neon
Lights this torero in his arena
He looks down at his clothes
Imagining those
Worn of sequin, gold and brocade
He kneels and kisses the beast
Fearing the least
Knowing death will not find him
But maybe one day he will face
The horns of the devil
His childhood behind him
Brave young man from the streets
No more a thief
No longer a dreamer
Stands in front of the beast
A golden torero in an arena
It starts to thunder and rain
Remembering that day
He danced like a fool on the wing of a dream
Sand turning to mud
Soon where his blood will splatter and mingle
Free, free as an angel
Up with the swifts
Around the cathedral
Never to be seen again
Dreams all in vain
There lies the toreador in the rain
Little toreador in the rain
Little toreador in the rain

2. _ Carnival Of Life
Desire...love...mystery...magic
Just close your eyes
Imagine you're in a place
Where you can taste all you crave
In life's masquerade
Come hold my hand
And all your wishes come true
Burlesque and blue
The carnival's calling to you
Your peace of mind
Will come in time
You'll understand all you'll see
Though it all seems
Like one of your dreams
It's a reality
We're drunk on life
We're drunk on life
Desire, love, mystery and magic
Desire...love...mystery...magic
Just close your eyes
You'll find yourself in a place
Your heart will race
No time for sorrow or tears
Riding a horse
On a merry-go-round
Colour and sound
Surround you to brighten the years
Janvier, fevrier, mars, avril, mai
Make way for june and july
August, september, october to wave
Novembre, decembre goodbye
We're drunk on life
We're drunk on life
Desire, love, mystery and magic
In a carnival of life
In a carnival of life
Desire, love, mystery and magic
Desire...love...mystery...magic
Desire...love...mystery...magic
Eros awake
Our hearts to take
Ready to break every law
I find i'm no longer
Chasing my youth
The truth is that i'm chasing yours
We're drunk on life
We're drunk on life
Desire, love, mystery and magic
In a carnival of life
In a carnival of life
Desire, love, mystery and magic
And magic...

3. _ Widow Weeds
She draped herself in widow weeds
Veil of black and buttoned sleeves
Hid her face from the world
A shadow where once had been a girl
Her husband of past twenty years
Had passed away leaving her in tears
Heart full of the future's fears
She kneels beside his grave
Where should be colour every day
Just widow weeds, her friends all say
"please stop your tears and throw away
Those widow weeds of black and grey"
Then she did wail a chilling sound
Beat her fists and hit the ground
She moaned his name, she pulled her hair
She chanted verse and muttered prayer
How could a man so just, so good
Leave her a widow like he could
Where should be colour every day
Just widow weeds, her friends all say
"please stop your tears and throw away
Those widow weeds of black and grey"
And deep within chador of lace
The deep etched sorrow on her face
This madonna in her cowl of grief
Subservient in her belief
Then came the reading of the will
Grief had hold within her still
But unable to believe her ears
She stopped her sobbing, halted tears
Not a penny, not a pound
No provision to be found
Not a thought of recognition
The will was read with cold precision
Anger jumped up in her breast
Well maybe this was for the best
Even as the will was blessed
She tore away her veil
Tears of rage to tears of joy
No more grief from death's envoy
No more weeping, gnashing teeth
No more prostrate with grief
She thought he loved her
So sure he loved her
She thought he loved her
So sure he loved her
But all his treasure all his wealth
Just signify love for himself
Just signify love for himself
The chador fell unto the earth
Witness a woman's rebirth
Witness a woman's rebirth
She exorcised grief's ugly demon
With a new found sense of freedom
Where should be colour every day
Just widow weeds, now she can say
She stopped her tears and threw away
Those widow weeds of black and grey

4. _ The Desperate Hours
Tonight's the night it said in my stars
That love would be round the next bend
I felt for a while that my run of good luck
Would never come to an end
This world was not made for me, no no no no no no no
There was you, there was i, and the sea and the sky
There was really no need to pretend, i saw
Eyes of a girl, lips of a girl
Could it be you or a call from my soul
Could it be somewhere that i dare not dream
Could it be you, be you
Skull faced moon and dull faced you
Grinning with mischief tonight
The shimmer of stars
The whisper of wind
This minute, tonight is the night, i saw
Eyes of a girl, lips of a girl
Could it be you or a call from my soul
Could it be somewhere that i dare not dream
Could it be you, be you
Unlock the secret door to my vault
Open the gate that leads to my heart
Touch of a tempter, touch of a siren
Could it be you, be you
The desperate hours
The scent of the flowers
You put in my room
Makes me think of you
In my dream i see
Eyes of a girl, lips of a girl
Could it be you or a call from my soul
Could it be somewhere that i dare not dream
Could it be you, be you
Unlock the secret door to my vault
Open the gate that leads to my heart
Touch of a tempter, touch of a siren
Could it be you, be you
Eyes of a girl, lips of a girl
Could it be you or a call from my soul
Could it be somewhere that i dare not dream
Could it be you, be you

5. _ Madame De La Luna
She's in my veins
Gold in my veins
She is my pain
And my joy
Time and again
Waxing or waning
I am insane
For la luna
Madame de la luna
When she is sleepy
She's creepy, mysterious and wicked
When she is full
She is full of promise and joy
Beaming her smile
All the while
Across heaven's horizons
Weaving her dreams
Into hearts of lonely boys
But when i'm under the moon with you
I'm in heaven
When i'm under the moon with you
I'm in heaven
She'll bring out the killer
Bring out the lover
She loves a tyrant, a pirate, a dreamer, a crook and a liar
A joker, a trickster, romancer, a dancer and fool
Cold as the frost but in her heart is a fire
Hanging around the dark throat of the night like a jewel
But when i'm under the moon with you
I'm in heaven
When i'm under the moon with you
I'm in heaven
Moon, moon, delirious moon
Alone in the blue
Like a silver balloon
Moon, moon, delirious moon
Dancing a waltz
To a lunatic's tune
Madame de la luna
Bewitching is she
I cannot live without her
She's scattering stars
Dancing with mars
Cheek to cheek
With la luna
Cheek to cheek
With la luna
Madame de la luna
She sings as she brings in the harvest
She pulls out her tongue
At the cruel ethiopian sun
When she's hiding
The dark can bring a terrible vengeance
A pounce in the shadows
A moment alone with a gun
Adrift on a sea of indigo silk
Passionate like an arabian torch
Enticing two lovers to jump off a bridge
Changing the man into the wolf
Sometimes she's a terrible flirt
Causing mischief and mayhem wherever she can
Sometimes she's a woman that hurts
Sometimes she is a man
Encouraging drunks to sing coarse serenades
Lighting the way for the young renegades
But when i'm under the moon with you
I'm in heaven
When i'm under the moon with you
I'm in heaven
She says better times are gonna come soon
Better times are gonna come soon
Trust in the moon
Trust in the moon
La luna

6. _ Waifs And Strays
And so they say they're leaving
While you sleep away the day
You go out every evening
Collecting waifs and strays
They follow their illusions
They don't know what to do
They need a clear direction
That's why they turn to you
You're pleading
Please don't leave me
Don't go from me so soon
I need to be found
For i'm a stray too
Don't go
Just wait until tomorrow
Just wait until tomorrow
Just wait until tomorrow
On the streets of paris
On the streets of rome
They find a home
In shadow or in coffee bars
Down the winding alleys
Through the brightly lit arcades
No matter where they are
In and out of life they wander
Little waifs and strays
They stay until you fall in love
That's when they slip away
In the dark you'll see
Those sad brown eyes come shining through
Your heart will melt
You felt the way they looked at you
Don't go
Just wait until tomorrow
Just wait until tomorrow
Just wait until tomorrow
You find you need someone
To love your days away
Just when your heart is crying out
Please stay
Don't go away
Just wait until tomorrow
Just wait until tomorrow
Just wait until tomorrow
Just wait until tomorrow
Yes it's true
I'm a stray too

7. _ A Lover Spurned
A lover spurned
A lesson learned
On love you've got
Your fingers burnt
Shed bitter tears
Now love has turned
The sweet revenge
Of a lover spurned
A passing phase
A week of love
But all at once
You had enough
It pales so soon
Waned with the moon
No deep concern
For a lover spurned
She'll destroy you with her little games
See you swallow all the blame
Make you pay in many ways
For the pleasure of watching you squirm
She'll tell her friends to treat you rough
That you just weren't good enough
Make the going really tough
For the pleasure of watching you burn in hell
And every day
More guilt to pay
A lesson learned
From a lover spurned
It was all so cosy for you
You had a wife, two children
And a beautiful house
And me, well you wanted me
When it suited your needs
And now, now i have nothing
Just a handful of faded photographs
Nothing but a cold empty heart
But i'm not easily forgotten
I'll appear when you least expect
To make you pay
You asked for it that way
She'll come to get you with a knife
Write poison letters to your wife
Totally destroy your life
For the pleasure of watching you squirm
She'll make a fool of you at work
Drag your name through the dirt
Make sure that it really hurts
For the pleasure of watching you burn in hell
A lover spurned
A lesson learned
On love you've got
Your fingers burnt
Shed bitter tears
Now love has turned
The sweet revenge
Of a lover spurned
The sweet revenge
Of a lover spurned

8. _ Deaths Diary
On monday i took a flower
Dried it in my hand
Covered it in poison
And i threw it on the land
On wasted ground it tried to root
But choked upon the sand
And there's room in my diary for you, my friend
And there's room in my diary for you
On tuesday i took a bird
Such pain to hear it sing
I blackened it with petrol
And oiled its little wings
I tainted the breeze
As i threw it to the wind
And there's room in my diary for you, my friend
And there's room in my diary for you
On wednesday i took a man
He begged please help me die
For he lay in pain and suffering
It made his loved ones cry
I can be terrible and gentle
In the blinking of an eye
And there's room in my diary for you, my friend
And there's room in my diary for you
On thursday i took a woman
Heavy with a child
My old friend rape had paid a visit
Had stayed a little while
In a back street i touched her
With a wire and a smile
And there's room in my diary for you, my friend
And there's room in my diary for you
On friday i took a city
Cursed it with a plague
Powdered crystals, smoking pipes
To crush and to enslave
And a row of dirty needles
Lines the route onto the grave
And there's room in my diary for you, my friend
And there's room in my diary for you
On saturday i took a country
Praying for the rain
Parched throats and swollen lips
Without a harvest grain
And i wiped out generations
And i'd do it all again
And there's room in my diary for you, my friend
And there's room in my diary for you
On sunday i took the world
A bomb i did employ
Seven days to create life
And one day to destroy
Every woman every man
Every girl and boy
And there's room in my diary for you, my friend
And there's room in my diary for you
Now as i close my diary
And i've made my final date
I blow away the ashes
And i stoke the smoking grate
I've no distinction between pain and joy
No line twixt love and hate
There's no room in my diary for you, my friend
There's no room in my diary for you

9. _ Orpheus In Red Velvet
Orpheus in red velvet
Sing that song again
That song of jealousy and pain
Orpheus in red velvet
Sing that tearful tune
The one that's coloured by the moon
Take me through hell
For i deserve it
Take me through hell
It's for my good
Pain is sweet
However hot you serve it
And hell is no hotter
Than my jealous blood
Orpheus in red velvet
Sing your sweet refrain
My tears are falling like the rain
Orpheus in red velvet
Croon your lullaby
It makes me cry
Sing
Take me through hell
For i deserve it
Take me through hell
It's for my good
Pain is sweet
However hot you serve it
And hell is no hotter
Than my jealous blood
Orpheus in red velvet
Sorrow in your words
The sweetest words i've ever heard
Orpheus in red velvet
Sing of one that once was mine
Heartache sublime
Orpheus in red velvet
Like velvet was my valentine
Sing

10. _ The Sea Still Sings
I remember the sea i remember
How i thought she would sing forever
Though her voice it became a whisper
But the sea still sings in her heart
To the furthest shores of alaska
From the bow of a floundering tanker
Her shores in eternal winter
But the sea still sings in her heart
She waits for the moment
So still and alone
On her shoreline a necklace of feather and bone
No laughter of children
Where nothing will grow
But the sea still sings
The sea still sings
The sea still sings in her heart
I remember the sea, i remember
How she rose in a terrible temper
On a stormy night in september
How the sea still sings in her heart
Taking back all her stolen treasure
Giving back all our waste with a pleasure
Hand in hand with a furious weather
How the sea still sings in her heart
No longer distraught and no longer alone
She took all our shorelines and made them her own
Drowned all the people asleep in their homes
The sea still sings
The sea still sings
The sea still sings in her heart
The mermaids were singing a warning
The mermen were teasing and taunting
The sirens a song that was haunting
Tearing each ship from its mooring
And the sea shed her black coat of mourning
I remember the sea i remember
The stillness and calm of the water
And a song that went on forever
The sea still sings
The sea still sings
The sea still sings
The sea still sings in her heart
