Silly Wizard - If i was a blackbird

Tekst :

I am a young sailor, my story is sad,
Though once I was carefree and a brave sailor lad,
I courted a lassie by night and by day,
Oh but now she has left me,
And sailed far away.
Oh, if I was a blackbird could whistle and sing,
I d follow the vessel my true love sails in,
And in the top riggin I would there build my next,
And I d flutter my wings o er her lilly white breast.
Or if I was a scholar and could handle the pen
Once secret love letter to my true love I d send
And tell of my sorrow, my grief and my pain
Since she s gone and left me
In yon flowery glen.
I sailed o er the ocean, my fortune to seek
Though I missed her caress and her kiss on my cheek
I returned and I told her my love was still warm
but she turned away lightly
And great was her scorn.
I offered to take her to Donnybrook Fair
And to buy her fine ribbons to tie up her hair
I offered to marry and to stay by her side
But she says in the morning
She sails with the tide.
My parents, they chide me, oh they will not agree
Saying that me and my false love, married should never be
Oh let them deprive me, or let them do what they will
While there s breath in my body
She s the one I love still.

    Song for a friend

    Well your magic he said but don t let it all go to your head
    Cause I bet if you all had it all figured out then you’d never get out of bed
    No doubt of all the things that I’ve read what he wrote me
    Is now sounding like...

    Ma baker

    Freeze!
    I m Ma Baker - put your hands in the air,
    Gimme all your money
    This is the story of Ma Baker, the meanest cat
    From ol Chicago town

    She was the meanest cat
    In old Chicago town
    She was...

    Ladies

    Ladies of leisure,
    with their eyes on the back roads.
    All looking for strangers,
    to whom they extend welcomes
    With a smile and a glimpse of
    pink knees and elbows;
    Of satin and velvet
    good ladies, good fortune.
    Ladies.

    They...

    To są rece, to dziewczęce biodra

    Czemu z tobą, czemu miły, czemu jest tak
    Że gdy trzeba, że z odwagą, odwagi brak
    To są rece, to dziewczęce biodra są
    Precz z rozpustą ale usta całować chcą
    To są rece, to dziewczęce biodra są
    Precz z rozpustą ale usta całować chcą

    Czemu z tobą, czemu miły...

    Reisefieber

    Das Meer Rauscht du bist allein
    Es riech nach Fisch du willst zufrieden sein
    Doch irgendwie gelingt es nicht
    Obwohl du so weit geflohen bist
    Ist das alles was nach so viel Meilen liegt

    Die Nordsee Schlägt dir ins GesichtUnd trotzdem hast du verloren...
