And I can’t sleep,
From what haunts me in the middle of night,
And I can’t sleep,
All I see is my dreams passing by,
And I can’t sleep,
From what haunts me in the middle of night,
And I can’t sleep,
All I see is my dreams passing by.

And I can’t sleep,
From what haunts me in the middle of night,
And I can’t sleep,
All I see is my dreams passing by,
And I can’t sleep,
From what haunts me in the middle of night,
And I can’t sleep,
All I see is my dreams passing by.

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

La main dans la main, traverser les boulevardsLes yeux dans les yeux comme un roman de gare
J’ai toujours sur moi, un pola de toi.

Marcher sous la pluie avec toi dans la nuit
C’est pas un problème, dis moi juste «
je t’aime
»
Les bijoux, les fleurs, je vois la vie en couleur.

Je me demande tous les jours, que ferais-je sans toi,
Et tu vois.
Il paraît bien que l’amour, oui ça ressemble à ça.

Quand viendra le jour où tu ne seras plus là
Tu sais mon amour j’aurai toujours sur moi.
Tu sais devines quoi? Un pola de toi.

Je me demande tous les jours, que ferais-je sans toi,
Et tu vois.
Il paraît bien que l’amour, oui ça ressemble a ça.

Je me demande tous les jours, que ferais-je sans toi,
Et tu vois.
Il paraît bien que l’amour, oui ça ressemble à ça.



English translation :

ROMANTIC NOVEL

Hand in hand, crossing the boulevards
Eye to eye, like in a romantic novel
I always have on me, a polaroid of you.

Walking in the rain with you in the night
It's not a problem, just tell me “I love you”
The jewels, the flowers, I see life in color.

I wonder every day, what would I do without you
And you see,
It seems love is really like that.

When the day comes when you will no longer be here
You know, my love, I will always have on me
You know, guess what, a polaroid of you.

I wonder every day, what would I do without you
And you see,
It seems love is really like that.

I wonder every day, what would I do without you
And you see,
It seems love is really like that.

You are too many memories But we stick together We spin in your streets Where our hearts got broken But we stick together Forever yeah
I want to feel sunlight on my face Slip into a daze
I want to feel your burning touch I’ve missed you so much
Remember the tree where we had our first kiss But we stick together
Forever
I want to feel sunlight on my face Slip into a daze
I want to feel your burning touch I’ve missed you so much
We’ll never be alone We’ll never be alone We’ll never be alone We’ll never be alone

Down to the local park
Feet in the starting block
Come snapping at the water shark Gaming for the marvel mark
Singing and flying like a pretty skylark
You got to win your game Make it so true your aim You got to win your game Spark up your candle flame
Coming up to the final turn
Deep digging to the inner urge
And you know that the sides will burn (like a disco inferno baby) Heart tapping like a big bass drum
Snapping and a singing like a pretty white shark
You got to win your game Make it so true your aim You got to win your game Spark up your candle flame

Wearing me out Numbing Steeling
Fading
A shadow of ourselves Appeasing
Misleading
Beating life from our souls
And I don’t know Where I’m going Know I’m bleeding And I don’t know Where I’m reaching These feelings
I’d do anything
To believe ya
To believe ya
I’ll give everything
Cos I’ve been here too long Though I’ve held tight and let go I’ll find you
I’ll find you I’ll find you
Hounding down Pushing
Heart is Greying
Ageing in it’s shell Taunting
Tempting
Breaking buildings in town
And with patience I’ll find you I’ll practice persistence
I’ll find you
And with patience I’ll find you I’ll practice persistence
I’ll find you
Never, never, never gonna go back Your tenderness
Consuming
Though I’ve worn out
The cynical clothes
That covered my bones
I’m never gonna go back
Never, never, never gonna go back Your tenderness
Consumes me
Though I’ve held tight
And let go
I’ll find you
I’ll find you
