There are despots and dictatorsPolitical manipulatorsThere are blue bloods with the intellects of fleasThere are kings and petty tyrantsWho are so lacking in refinementsThey'd be better suited swinging from the trees

The !uintessence of perfection that is he

He's the sovereign lord of the nationHe's the hippest dude in creationHe's a hep cat in the emperor's new clothes"ears of such selective breeding#enerations have been leadingTo this miracle of life that we all know

MY FUNNY FRIEND AND ME

In the !uiet of the eveningWhen the stars assume their patternsAnd the day has made his ,ourneyAnd we wonder ,ust what happenedTo the life we knew-efore the world changedWhen not a thing I held was true-ut you were kind to meAnd you reminded me

That the world is not my playgroundThere are other things that matter

What is simple needs protectingy illusions all would shatter

-ut you stayed in my corner When the only world I knew was upside downAnd now the world and me%now you carried me

"ou see the patterns in the big skyThose constellations look like you and I.ust like patterns in the big skyWe could be lost we could refuse to try-ut you made it throughIn the dark nightWho would those lucky guys turn out to be$-ut that unusual blend/f my funny friend and me

I'm not as clever as I thought I wasI'm not the boy I used to be because"ou showed me something different"ou showed me something pureI always seemed so certain-ut I was really never sure-ut you stayedAnd you called my nameWhen others would have walked out on a lousy gameAnd look who made it through-ut your funny friend and you

"ou see the patterns in the big skyThose constellations look like you and IThat tiny planet and the bigger guyI don't know whether I should laugh or cry

If I had to do this all a second timeI won't complain or make a fussWho would the angels send$-ut that unlikely blend/f those two funny friendsThat's us

SNUFF OUT THE LIGHT (YZMA'S SONG)

When I was a girl at my daddy's sidePapa the royal mortician2evealed to me in secret signsThe mark of a magician

And 0addy was no dummy0id outrageous things with a mummyAnd often the stiffs that he would shriveWould look better dead than they did alive

I studied well I learnt the tradeI thought my looks would never fadeIf I could find that recipeTo give eternal youth to me

It was always my ambitionTo use Papa's tuitionAnd gain some small remission3rom the vagaries of time

4very little ray of sunshine robs me of my youthWho to blame$Who the one$Who to curse$"ou know the only one to blameWould be my enemy the 1un

ONE DAY SHE'LL LOVE ME

I'd never imagined beforeThat the world could be turned on it's headI'd never have thoughtTo be here in this placeI'd never have dreamt that in loveI'd be lost and so easily ledI guess I was caught-y that hint of a smile on her face

I thought I was happy beforeWhen my life was as easy as a pie-ut that was the past/f an ignorant youthI'm falling in love with the girl-ut I'm forced to be living a lieAnd she'd never love meIf she knew the truth

Is it asking too muchIf I pray for a miracle miracleThat one day she'll love me/ne day she'll say I care


6/6

Although he's changing day by dayHe finds these tender words of loveImpossible to sayHe walks in the roomAnd I'm never !uite sureIf he's trying to be somebody elseI'm liking him better that he's

Not his arrogant self Perhaps I'm e8pecting too much/f a miracle miracle/ne day he'll love me/ne day he'll say I love youAnd I will love him until I die

0istant 1tar +ast your light/n my life

And one by one I didn't anticipate feeling the power of loveIn this way

And day by day We've never been closer than thisAnd I find myself daring to pray

We'll find these tender ways of loveImpossible to disobey

/ne day she'll love me

/ne day he'll say I love you

And I will love her

7ntil the moment/ur hearts stop beatingAnd we are light
