Most of all I love you
And more than this, I need you
I dream of you all day long
I’m just like a child
I must say

Most of all I’ve tried to
Keep your heart, and give you mine
I’m so sad; it’s time to confess
I’ve missed the boat to happiness,
But you’re my girl,
And most of all I love you

I would give anything
To have you back in my dreams
Those tears falling from the sky
‘Cause the sun goes down when you go

Most of all I’ve tried to
Keep your heart, and give you mine
I agree, it’s time to confess
I’ve missed the boat to happiness,
But you’re my girl,
And most of all I love you

I would give anything
To have you back in my dreams
Tears falling from the sky
‘Cause the sun goes down when you go

Most of all I’ve tried to
Keep your heart, and give you mine
I agree, it’s time to confess
I’ve missed the boat to happiness,
You’re my girl,
And most of all I love you

I wanna say to the stars
That light the sky
My tears to dry
And scold that doggoned moon
Who drives me loon and makes me croon

She’s on my mind forever
And I may be wrong for the rest of my days
But I can’t ignore the girl next door

You must believe in the sun that’s shining above
Burning my love
And if I forgot to eat or sleep and pray
I have to say
Happiness is all that I wish
I want you to cuddle and kiss

I’m so sorry
For lovin’ you so

She’s on my mind forever
And I’ll be waiting for the rest of my days
The one I adore the girl next door

You must believe in the sun that shines above
Burning my love
And if I forgot to eat or sleep and pray
I have to say
Happiness is all that I wish
I want you to cuddle and kiss

When the blackbird in the Spring,
On the willow tree,
Sat and rocked, I heard him sing,
Singing Aura Lea.

Aura Lea, Aura Lea,
Maid with golden hair;
Sunshine came along with thee,
And swallows in the air.

In thy blush the rose was born,
Music, when you spake,
Through thine azure eye the morn,
Sparkling seemed to break.

Aura Lea, Aura Lea,
Birds of crimson wing,
Never song have sung to me,
As in that sweet spring.

Swing through winter fitfully,
On the stormy air.

Yet if thy blue eyes I see,
Gloom will soon depart;
For to me, sweet Aura Lea
Is sunshine through the heart.

When the mistletoe was green,
Midst the winter's snows,
Sunshine in thy face was seen,
Kissing lips of rose.

Aura Lea, Aura Lea,
Take my golden ring;
Love and light return with thee,
And swallows with the spring.

Quand le merle au printemps
Sur le saule pleureur
S’assit et se balança, je l’entendis chanter,
Il chantait Aura Lea Aura Lea Aura Lea
Demoiselle aux cheveux d’or
Le soleil arriva avec vous
Et les hirondelles volaient
La rose naquit en rougissant
La musique quand vous parliez
Dans ton œil d’azur
Le matin étincelant sembla se lever.

Aura Lea Aura Lea Aura Lea
Les oiseaux aux ailes écarlates
N’ont jamais chanté comme
En ce doux printemps
Aura Lea Aura Lea Aura Lea
Tangue dans l’air turbulant d’hiver.

Mais si je vois tes yeux bleus
Mon cafard partira bientôt
Car pour moi douce Aura Lea
Est le soleil qui transperce le cœur

Aura Lea Aura Lea Aura Lea
Quand le gui était vert
Parmi les neiges d’hiver
On voyait le soleil sur ton visage
Embrasser les lèvres roses.

Aura Lea Aura Lea Aura Lea
Prenez mon anneau d’or
L’amour et la lumière reviennent avec vous

I wanna say to the stars
That light the sky
My tears to dry

I’m so sorry
Please believe me
I’m so sorry
For lovin’ you so

Je veux dire aux étoiles
Qui éclairent le ciel
Qu’elles sèchent mes larmes
Et qu’elle gronde cette sacrée lune
Qui me rend fou et me fait chantonner
Elle est éternellement dans mes pensées
Et j’aurais peut-être tort pour le restant de mes jours
Mais je ne peux pas ignorer la fille d’à côté.

Il faut croire en le soleil qui brille au-dessus de nous
Brûlant mon amour
Et si j’oublie de manger, de dormir et de prier
Je dois dire que la joie est tout ce que je souhaite
Je veux te caliner et t’embrasser.

Most of all I love you
And more than this, I need you
I dream of you all day long
I’m just like a child

Surtout je t’aime
Et de plus j’ai besoin de toi
Je rêve de toi toute la journée
Et je dois dire que je suis
Comme un enfant
Et surtout

j’essaie de garder ton cœur
et de te donner le mien.
Je suis tellement triste, il est temps que je confesse,
Que j’ai raté le bateau du bonheur
Et surtout, je t’aime

Je donnerais tout
Pour te retrouver dans mes rêves
Ces larmes tombant du ciel
Car le soleil se couche quand tu pars

Surtout
j’essaie de garder ton cœur
et de te donner le mien.

Je suis d’accord il est temps que je confesse,
Que j’ai raté le bateau du bonheur
Et surtout, je t’aime

Hark! The herald angels sing,
"Glory to the new-born king,
Peace on earth and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled",
Joyful all ye nations rise,
Join the triumph of the skies,
With angelic host proclaim,
"Christ is born in Bethlehem",

Hark! The herald angels sing,

"Glory to the new-born king".

Christ, by highest heaven adored,
Christ, the everlasting Lord,
Late in time behold him come,
Offspring of the Virgin's womb,

Veiled in flesh the Godhead see,

Hail th'incarnate Deity,
Pleased with us in flesh to dwell,
Jesus, our Immanuel,
Hark! The herald angels sing,

"Glory to the new-born king".

Dashing through the snow,
In a one-horse open sleigh,
O'er the fields we go,
Laughing all the way,
Bells on bobtails ring,
Making spirits bright,
What fun it is to ride and sing,
A sleighing song tonight, oh!


Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way,
Oh, what fun it is to ride,
In a one-horse open sleigh, hey!
Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way,
Oh what fun it is to ride,

In a one-horse open sleigh.


Now the ground is white,
Go it while you're young,
Take the girls tonight,
Sing this sleighing song,
Get a bobtailed bay,
Two forty for his speed,
And hitch him to an open sleigh,
And you will take the lead.


Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way,
Oh, what fun it is to ride,
In a one-horse open sleigh, hey!
Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way,
Oh, what fun it is to ride,
In a one-horse open sleigh,
Oh, what fun it is to ride,
In one horse open sleigh!

We wish you a merry Christmas,
We wish you a merry Christmas,
We wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year,
Good tidings we bring to you and your kin,We wish you a merry
Christmas and a happy new year.


We wish you a merry Christmas,
We wish you a merry Christmas,
We wish you a merry
Christmas and a happy new year,

Good tidings we bring to you and your kin,
We wish you a merry
Christmas and a happy new year.

THE TALK OF THE TOWN

Music by Julien Vega
Lyrics by John Greaves & Julien Vega

At last here comes the big day
I’ve waited for this moment
For so long
I’ve got a Broadway opening
Finally things are happening
My way

There will be lines around the block
Stars in limos, famous celebrities
New York’s finest
All come to see me

The thrill, the magic of applause,
Someone like me simply adores
If I’m a hit I must admit immodestly
I had it coming to me

The heights of fame are heady
But I am more than ready
To get there
So here I am at last
I’m going places fast
And I know where

I’ve always been aware of it
One day I’ll be getting my share of it
And I’m gonna be
The talk of the town

The thrill, the magic of applause,
That little old me simply adores
If I’m a hit I must admit immodestly
I had it coming to me and the whole world can see that I’m ready to be
The talk of the town

I want to be a butterfly

I have the disease of Modern Living
All too desperate and lonely
Hopping around, from one vagina to another
Looking for the real thing.

I want to be
Some kind of Butterfly
Things would be better
Things would be better
If I was
The kind of butterfly
Things would be better
Certainly better

Saying no it’s not a problem for me
You see, it never has been
My tragedy of all times
Is that I said yes, when I wanted to say no

I want to be
Some kind of Butterfly
Things would be better
Things would be better
If I was a kind of butterfly
Things would be better
Most certainly better

We just hoop and hoop to the next
And fuck again
Spreading all kinds of bacteria along the way
And all this in the name of love
In the name of love and I, of loneliness
Because if you fuck good enough
This time you might

never, never be lonely again

I want to be
Some kind of Butterfly
Things would be better
Things would be better
If I was a kind of

butterfly
Things would be better
Certainly better

There is a funny woman sitting across the bar from me
Twisting with her red hair and golden chain
She keeps on smiling
I don’t smile back
She stares at me perpetually

I want to be
Some kind of Butterfly
Things would be better
Things would be better
If I was a kind of butterfly
Things would be better
Most certainly better

If I was a kind of butterfly
Things would be better
I know, I know
Most certainly better

A butterfly…

Deck the halls with boughs of holly,
Fa la la la la, la la la la,
'Tis the season to be jolly,
Fa la la la la, la la la la,
Don we now our gay apparel,
Fa la la, la la la, la la la,

Troll the ancient
Yuletide carol,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

See the blazing yule before us,
Fa la la la la, la la la la,
Strike the harp and join the chorus,
Fa la la la la, la la la la,
Follow me in merry measure,
Fa la la, la la la, la la la,
While I tell of
Yuletide treasure.

Fast away, the old year passes,
Fa la la la la, la la la la,
Hail the new, ye lads and lasses,
Fa la la la la, la la la la,
Sing we joyous all together,
Fa la la, la la la, la la la,
Heedless of the wind and weather,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Deck the halls with boughs of holly,
Fa la la la la la, la la,
Deck the halls with boughs of holly,
Fa la la la la, la la,
Deck the halls with boughs of holly,
Fa la la la la la, la la,
Deck the halls with boughs of holly,
Fa la la la la la, ba da da.

Hark how the bells,
Sweet silver bells,
All seem to say,
Throw cares away.


Christmas is here,
Bringing good cheer,
To young and old,
Meek and the bold.


Ding dong,
That is the song,
With joyful ring,
All carolling.


One seems to hear,
Words of good cheer,
From everywhere,
Filling the air.


Oh, how they pound,
Raising their sound,
O'er hill and dale,
Telling their tale.


Gaily they ring,
While people sing,
Songs of good cheer,
Christmas is here.


Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas,
Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas.


On on they send,
On without end,
Their joyful tone,
To every home.


Ah, ah, Ah, ah.

Hark how the bells,
Sweet silver bells,
All seem to say,
Throw cares away.


Christmas is here,
Bringing good cheer,
To young and old,

Meek and the bold.


Ding dong,
That is the song,
With joyful ring,
All carolling.


One seems to hear,
Words of good cheer,
From everywhere,
Filling the air.


Gaily they ring,
While people sing,
Songs of good cheer,
Christmas is here.


Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas,

Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas.

Once in royal David's city,
Stood a lowly cattle shed,
There a mother laid her baby,
In a manger for
His bed, Mary was that mother mild,
Jesus Christ her little child.


He came down to earth from heaven,
Who is God and Lord of all,
And His shelter was a stable,
And His cradle was a stall,
With the poor, oppressed and wholly,
Lived on earth our
Savior holy.


And our eyes,
At last shall see
Him, Through
His own redeeming love,
For that child, so dear and gentle,
Is our
Lord in heaven above,
And He leads

His children along,
To the place where
He is gone,
And He leads
His children along,
To the place where
He is gone.

I JUST DON’T CARE

Music by Sebastijan Duh
Lyrics by John Greaves

THERE IS SOMETHING IN HIS EYES
THAT I SHOULD RECOGNIZE
BE SMART BE COOL BEWARE

EVEN THO I REALIZE
IT’S PROBABLY UNWISE
I JUST DON’T CARE

MY FEET ARE OFF THE GROUND
MY POOR HEAD IS SPINNING AROUND

PLEASE JUST LET ME FANTASIZE
HE’S NOT LIKE OTHER GUYS
IT’S REAL LOVE I HAVE FOUND

LOOKS LIKE THE WRITING’S ON THE WALL
NO USE IN FIGHTING, NONE AT ALL
WHO COULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT I WOULD FALL
SO HELPLESSLY ?

IF YOU’RE THINKING I AM DUMB
TO FALL UNDER HIS THUMB
DUMB MAYBE BUT I’M HAPPY

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

There I go,
Saying no,
When I wish I could stay,
Why so slow?
Guess I know,
That it's going that way,
With so many boys and girls to keep me company,
I may play til break of day,
But one thing I still see.

That sweet smile,
All the while,
Hasn’t faded a touch,
And that laugh,
Somewhat daft,
Is still never too much.

Anyway,
I always say,
At the end of the day,
It’s time to get pretty in pink,
Before we put it to bed,
Let’s have another drink.

I’ve seen shots and I’ve seen stars,
And I’ve seen hurricanes,
But despite these dizzy heights,
One thing remains the same.

That sweet smile,
All the while,
Hasn’t faded a touch,
And that laugh,
Somewhat daft,
Is still never too much.

Anyway,
I always say,
At the end of the day,
It’s time to get pretty in pink,
Before we put it to bed,
Let’s have another,
Oh honey -
How about another?
Put it to bed,
Let’s have another drink.
