The Attraction of Opposites

Music By Sebastijan Duh
Lyrics by John Greaves

I’m this you’re that
You’re sharp and I’m flat
You’re hot I’m not
you’re bold and I’m shy
Maybe one day w’ell see eye to eye?

We’re told that it’s a fact
That opposites attract
Are we made for each other?
Funny how it goes
You hit it on the nose (Yeah!)

I’ll be here ,you’ll be there
We could be anywhere
I’don’t care, we’re a pair
What are we waiting for?
I don’t see no need for hesitating

Let’s not analyse
The wherefore’s and the why’s
Cos you know that there is no
Better place to start
Listen to your heart

We can go readily
Taking it steadily
Perfectly thrlilingly
Ever so willingly
It’s not complicated

I can go high
I can go low
Fast,
slow
Let that river flow

Maybe we are right
Maybe we are wrong
It was meant to happen all along
So if he is mine I’m his
That’s the way it is
Love is bitter-sweet
There’s nothing we can
Do about it

Is it all probable?
Nothing’s impossible
chemical,’lectrical, don’t try to fight it it’s
Cleary unavoidable

Don’t ask why
Don’t try to understand


Just give me your hand
My oh my is this life… Grand

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

WE MAY FALL IN LOVE

Music by Julien Vega
Lyrics by John Greaves & Julien vega

I don’t want to fall in love
It’s not a game I wish to choose
Sweet as your advances are
I must regrettably refuse

Love Is just a game of fools
So maybe we could bend the rules

Play the game, lose every time
You bet a dollar, win a dime

I will take that broken heart and heal it
Maybe there will come a day you’ll feel it

‘cause there is something you can’t disguise
There in your eyes
We may fall in love

Will I ever love again, Will I? Will I?
Let me wash away the pain
Love is meant for other men Not I Not I
Let me help you love again
There is such a lot to find
Circumstances
But you need an open mind
Please don’t take this personally,
Take some chances
It simply wasn’t means to be.

I will take that broken heart and heal it
But I can’t let you do it
Maybe there will come a day you’ll feel it
I am impervious to it

But there is something you can’t disguise
I see it in your eyes
We may fall in love
Tonight

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

No Dice (It’s Time to Leave)

Words and music John Greaves

Not prone to exaggerating
No more than my conscience allows
I tend more to understating
Rather than looking a fool

Don’t like giving the game away
I keep my cards close to my chest
Just in case it’s my lucky day
I don’t want to spoil my chances

Joking apart this poor old heart is
Worn out on my sleeve
It’s time to leave
I’m no percentage player
I’ll tear off every layer
And later I’ll be cleaned out
Washed up mangled,
Hanging on the line to dry.

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

RAINY DAY

Music by Julien Vega
Lyrics by John Greaves & Julien Vega

Rainy day
Feeling blue
Skies are grey
Where are you?
I know I
Shouldn’t feel this way
But I do

Don’t know where
Don’t know when
But I swear
We’ll meet again
And we’ll laugh away
That rainy day
From way back then
Rainy day

THE STEELWORKER

Music by Julien Vega
Lyrics by John Greaves & Julien Vega

Hip Hop perched up on a beam
Way above the crowd
I’m as happy as I seem
Sitting on a cloud
Hip! I’m at the top
Hop! On top of New York

Tough guys throwin’ steel around
Way above the ground
Like they are dancing with the
Joists and the girders
1,2 and 3 and 4
Hoist! Up to the next floor.

Working for my pay
Like any other guy
Just another day
For cowboys in the sky

Down there tryin’ to make a buck
I ran out of luck
Man I hardly got to eat
Just a bum on the street
Up here I’m the guy to meet
I’m mister Rockefeller

Hip Hop sitting on a cloud
Way above the crowd
I’m as happy as a clam
Betcha life I am
Hip! I’m at the top
Hop! On top of New York

Tough guys throwin’ steel around
Way above the ground
Like they are dancing with the
Joists and the girders
1,2 and 3 and 4
Hoist! We’re going up
Up to the top floor.

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

COCONUT TREE

Music by Julien Vega
Lyrics by John Greaves & Julien Vega

I’VE BEEN TO PARIS AND LONDON
IT’S ALL WORK THERE’S NO FUN
PUSHING, SHOVING ALL AROUND
NOBODY’S HAPPY I’LL BE BOUND

I’VE BEEN TO MOSCOW AND TO TORONTO
NEVER SEEN SO MUCH SNOW
THIS IS NOT THE PLACE TO BE
10 BELOW IS NOT FOR ME

THE SEA THE SUN AND THE COCONUT TREE
THAT IS ALL YOU NEED TO SEE
THERE’S NO BETTER PLACE TO BE
THE SEA, THE SUN AND A COCONUT TREE

ONE THING I’M SURE OF
I NEED SOME MORE OF
ENCORE, ENCORE OF
THE SEA THE SUN AND THE COCONUT TREE


I BEEN TO TOKYO AND NEW YORK
ALL THEM SIGNS SAY STOP DON’T WALK
I JUST WANT TO FLY AWAY
BACK TO WHERE THE STEEL BANDS PLAY

THAT IS ALL THAT I WANT TO SAY

THE SEA THESUN AND A COCONUT TREE
THAT IS ALL YOU NEED TO SEE
THERE’S NO BETTER PLACE TO BE
THE SEA, THE SUN AND THE COCONUT TREE

WONDERFUL NIGHT

Music by Julien Vega
Lyrics by John Greaves & Julien Vega

The snow is falling, it’s a beautiful sight
New York shimmers in the winter light
Everything seems just right
This is such a wonderful night

Lovers on the ice
Hold each other tight
Under the moon shining bright
You may call it nice
I call it magic
Here in New York
It’s a wonderful night

Can’t you see
It’s not reality
It’s a dream that someone else is dreaming
A perfect fantasy, that was never to be
Clearly heaven sent but not meant for me

My glass is half empty tonight
Promise please to make it right

The snow is falling, it’s a beautiful sight
New York shimmers in the winter light
Everything is still alright

I can touch it, I can feel it, I can reach it

This is such a wonderful night

Snow falls...
what a wonderful night!
New york dazzles it shi-nes
with a billion lights
Streets are white
Eyes are bright
It is such a wonderful night!

Sil-houettes skate on the rink,
While chil-dren are making snow men,
and lovers hold each other tight
Some-thing in the air,
a kind of magic,
enfolds New York,
What a won-der-ful night !

From my win-dow
it seems like a snow globe
all this little world glows
but I'm no part of it
i'll spend the night all a-lone
dream that my prince final-ly comes
that we kiss, and dance, and fly
to the moon

I'm cold and so lonely to-night
but at least I can try to en-joy the sight
Wonderful night,
New York shines bright
with a billion lights
it is such a wonderful night
