(Music Song Lyrics):
He's a stone delta blues man.

He's a top rollmo' star

He's a stone delta blues man.

He's a top rollmo' star

Black wand, white magic, nitroglycerine

He's earned the right to be known as

MACHINE GUN IBIZA

Voodoo up rollmo' down

MACHINE GUN IBIZA

Hangin' ten with the hurricane sound

If you've never been nowhere

Don't you pay that no mind

If you've never been nowhere

Don't you pay that no mind

Feel part of no circle ?

If you make no scene

Well you've earned the right

To hang out with

MACHINE GUN IBIZA

Voodoo up rollmo' down

MACHINE GUN IBIZA

Hangin' ten with the hurricane sound

If you're a goddess

If your heart's sixteen

Girl you're gonna wake up buddies with

MACHINE GUN IBIZA

Voodoo up rollmo' down

MACHINE GUN IBIZA

Hangin' ten with the hurricane sound

Ooh light a fire - Be an ex-marine

Baby learn to burn your dog tag like

MACHINE GUN IBIZA

Voodoo up rollmo' down

MACHINE GUN IBIZA

Hangin' ten with the hurricane sound

Hangin' ten with the hurricane sound

Hangin' ten with the hurricane sound

Hangin' ten... sound

MACHINE GUN IBIZA... VOODOO

Little Paris Smith

Lovely name for a girl is Paris Smith

Baby Paris Smith

Don't repeat my mistakes Paris Smith

Paris : Any music worth its salt is good for dancing

Paris : But I tried to be the Fred Astaire of words

Paris you heard

Little Paris Smith one day you'll have a job

Yes Paris Smith

Baby Paris Smith don't you grow up a snob

No Paris Smith

Paris : There are benefits to syncopated motion

Paris : Which no high falutin' double talk can show - Paris

Prefab Sprout - One Of The Broken

Artist: Prefab Sprout
Music Album: Jordan: The Comeback
(Music Song Lyrics):
Hi, this is God here,

Talking to me used to be a simple affair

Moses only had to see a burning bush

And he'd pull up a chair

Well it's been a long time since we talked in that way

If you're wondering what to say...

Sing me no deep hymn of devotion

Sing me no slow sweet melody

Sing it to one, one of the broken

And brother you're singing, singing to me

I remember King David

With his harp and his beautiful, beautiful songs

I answered his prayers

And showed him a place where his music belongs

It's not too far from here come get up off your knees

If you're looking for ways to please...

Sing me no psalm you're not King David

Sing me no high hushed Glory Be

Sing it to one, one of the broken

And brother you're singing, singing to me

Sing me no deep hymn of devotion

Sing me no slow sweet melody

Sing it to one, one of the broken

And brother you're singing, singing to me

Music Album: Jordan: The Comeback
(Music Song Lyrics):
This is where your sleepless eyes will close

This is where the weary find repose

This is where a kinder bugle blows

This is where you'll wake

To find the River Jordan flows

Scarlet nights waiting sleep is overdue

Scarlet nights ending here on in they're blue

Yes I know we're not saying goodbye

Yes I know that farewell don't apply

Yes I know no matter how I try...

Yes I know, and you should know

That all the same I'll cry

Scarlet nights waiting sleep is overdue

Scarlet nights ending here on in they're blue

Blue as skies and blue as heavens

Watching over Galilee and Rome

Blue as water, Jordan's waters

Blue as dawn and dawn will take you home

Scarlet nights waiting sleep is overdue

Scarlet nights ending here on in they're blue

Blue as skies and blue as heavens

Watching over you

Blue as water, Jordan's water

Washing over you

Mercy on me, oh say that I'm forgiven

Artist: Prefab Sprout
Music Album: Steve McQueen
(Music Song Lyrics):
You surely are a truly gifted kid
But you're only good as
The last great thing you did
And where've you been since then
Did the schedule get you down
I hear you've got a new girlfriend
How's the wife taking it ?

If it's uphill all the way you should be used to it by now

You must know me, Father it's your son
And I know that you are proud of everything I've done
But it's the wonders I perform,
Pulling rabbits out of hats
When sometimes I'd prefer
Simply to wear them

If it's uphill all the way you should be used to it and say
My back is broad enough sir to take the strain and it's

Hello mother, it's your son and aren't you proud, of all I've done
But I'm turkey hungry, I'm chicken free, and I can't breakdance on your knee
But it's "stay right there son, baby do", while I is itchin' for something new
So watch me hawkeye and understand the force of will, the sleight of hand
Movin' the river, I'm turkey hungry, I'm chicken free and I can't breakdance on your knee
Movin' the river, bucket by spoon, and do you think that they'll like me when they learn what I o

Movin' the river, money for jam, and it takes such an effort to stay where I am...

Artist: Prefab Sprout
Music Album: Protest Songs
(Music Song Lyrics):
Feel the sun upon your back
Someone somewhere wants to steal it
Pray each night you'll catch the thief
But while you sleep he comes and takes it

Does that make you think little girl ?
Doesn't it just little boy

There'll be no stampede on the Pearly Gates
I'll say "after you" you'll say "I don't mind the wait"
There'll be no stampede on those imposing doors
Naked and afraid, cowering we crawl on all fours

See the smile on her young face
Watch life casually erase it
Now I know she's all grown up
She wears a look I can't quite place yet

What makes you cry little girl ?
Maybe I'm scared little boy

There'll be no stampede on the Pearly Gates
I'll say "after you" you'll say "I don't mind the wait"
There'll be no stampede on those imposing doors
Naked and afraid, cowering we crawl on all fours
There'll be no stampede on the Pearly Gates
I'll say "after you" you'll say "I don't mind the wait"

Prefab Sprout - Michael

Artist: Prefab Sprout
Music Album: Jordan: The Comeback
(Music Song Lyrics):
All the jobs I've ever held, positions I have known

The one I was a fool to leave was

Right hand to the throne

Ambition took me speed of light

To God's exclusion zone

Michael if you're listening,

Michael who stayed true

One of us got out of line when Paradise was new

One of us was exiled and the one who wasn't's you

Michael - help me write a letter to you know who

I will sign it "Lucifer regrets..."

Can't forget his final words were

"Ain't no comeback gonna come your way"

What if I pray ?

Michael the archangel listen.

Michael don't you see ?

We've come to stand for principles that

Prove free will is free

If you are on the side of good

Now where does that leave me ?

Michael - help me write a letter to you know who

I will sign it "Lucifer regrets..."

Can't forget his final words were

"Ain't no comeback gonna come your way"

He never could resist a sinner

Or ignore a distress call - but such a fall

Prefab Sprout - Technique

Artist: Prefab Sprout
Music Album: Swoon
(Music Song Lyrics):
12345/12345... 12345/12345

Her husband works in Jodrell Bank, he's home late in the morning,

had he been a lawyer, he wouldn't work for pennies.

In the morning I go walking, it helps the hurting soften,

I've seen a lot of places, 'cos I miss her very often.

But I could never work there, what a shame that I'm not clever,

it's for men with horn rimmed glasses, and four distinguished "A Level" passes.

What chance so long ago, I buried something I should know.

Verse and chapter they unfurl, - and sprinkle it upon the world. Name it.

Technique !

Their eyes don't fill with wonder when you speak,

and I loathe the stilted way you make me speak.

Without recourse to lying distortion or cheating.

Technique !

Their eyes don't fill with wonder when you speak,

and I loathe the stilted way you make me speak.

Prefab Sprout - Nancy Let Your Hair Down For Me

Artist: Prefab Sprout
Music Album: From Langley Park To Memphis
(Music Song Lyrics):
Weekday mornings find me moody
I kiss my wife goodbye,
I drive the boss to work each day.

At the office, no one's watching
Can I catch her eye ?
The hours squeeze by, the boss works late
Still I'll always wait and drive her home with me and say...

Nancy let your hair down for me
Nancy leave the office behind, then
Nancy let that fall off your shoulders
I'll be your husband once again
Nancy

Nancy I don't mind I'm happy working overtime

Nancy let your hair down for me
Nancy leave the office behind, then
Nancy let that fall off your shoulders
I'll be your husband once again

Nancy let your hair down for me
Nancy leave the office behind, then
Nancy let that fall off your shoulders
I'll be your husband once again

Prefab Sprout - Moondog

Artist: Prefab Sprout
Music Album: Jordan: The Comeback
(Music Song Lyrics):
The funeral cars crawl down

The heartbreak side of town

The mourners all discuss

The boy who caused a fuss

We chopped a billion trees to print up eulogies

But guys we should have guessed,

The girls would say it best

MOONDOG !

Love. 'Cos love's the final word

Nothing crosses love

Reason has to bow if love demands it

MOONDOG ! - Guess who's on the moon

MOONDOG ! - Guess who's on the moon

Up there a flag will fly for mom and apple pie

MOONDOG ! - Guess who's on the moon

MOONDOG ! - Guess who's on the moon

The one place left to play

The comeback's underway

The world was younger then

In bed asleep by ten

And daddies shook their fists

At hidden communists

The earth was merely round

Before the slapback sound

Is there one spell can bring

The once and future king ?

MOONDOG !

Cut... To somewhere deep in space

Beyond the Colonel's arms

Handsome doggone rake the truly weightless

MOONDOG ! - Guess who's on the moon

MOONDOG ! - Guess who's on the moon

MOONDOG ! - Guess who's on the moon

Up there a flag will fly for mom and apple pie

MOONDOG ! - Guess who's on the moon

MOONDOG ! - Guess who's on the moon

The one place left to play

The comeback's underway

MOONDOG ! - Guess who's on the moon

MOONDOG ! - Guess who's on the moon

Up there a flag will fly for mom and apple pie

MOONDOG ! - Guess who's on the moon

MOONDOG ! - Guess who's on the moon

The one place left to play

The comeback's underway

Prefab Sprout - Life Of Surprises

Artist: Prefab Sprout
Music Album: Protest Songs
(Music Song Lyrics):
You can keep the good times righteousness
The best parting line
Rather then pretend we are A1 ultrafine
Shall I be the first then to say what we have found
There's something in our lifetime won't let us settle down

Darling it's a life of surprises
It's no help growing older or wiser
You don't have to pretend you're not crying
When it's even in the way that you're walking

Never let your conscience be harmful to your health
Let no neurotic impulse turn inward on itself
Just say that you were happy, as happy would allow
And tell yourself that that will have to do for now

Darling it's a life of surprises
It's no help growing older or wiser
You don't have to pretend you're not crying
When it's even in the way that you're walking - Baby talking

Never say you're bitter Jack
Bitter makes the worst things come back

Darling it's a life of surprises
It's no help growing older or wiser
You don't have to pretend you're not crying
When it's even in the way that you're walking - Baby talking

Never say you're bitter Jack
Bitter makes the worst things come back

Darling it's a life of surprises
It's no help growing older or wiser
You don't have to pretend you're not crying
When it's even in the way that you're walking

Prefab Sprout - Talking Scarlet

Artist: Prefab Sprout
Music Album: Protest Songs
(Music Song Lyrics):
Carry no bright torches for me...

You hide under the eiderdown all you can't sweep underneath the carpet
When you cover your neighbour's wife scalding marks appear you're talking scarlet
Kid yourself that it's platonic love

Best of friends - Eyes all smiling - Watch them turn to iron filings

I will say late one evening while moonstruck beside her
I'll break the bonds of friendship one by one. I'll tell her
I'm more than some friendly fellow, I will say "How ya doin ?"
So casually she never suspects I'm harbouring thoughts of kissing her neck
I think my mouth's been drinking my basest thoughts do the thinking
You've no shame when Scarlet is your name trust in flames
When Scarlet is your name

Yes he's crying in his sleep, yes he's thoroughly miserable for me
Losing his looks for me. Losing

Certain themes keep recurring, boundaries start a blurring

I will say late one evening while moonstruck beside her
I'll break the bonds of friendship one by one. I'll tell her
I'm more than some friendly fellow, I will say "How ya doin ?"
So casually she never suspects I'm harbouring thoughts of kissing her neck
I think my mouth's been drinking my basest thoughts do the thinking
Oh my God someone tell her - I know she's a star, celestial feast
In the zoo of my heart she is thrown to the beast, tell her
The mouse here beside her won't always be denied her
I've no shame, Scarlet is my name, trust in flames
Scarlet is my name

Carry no bright torches for me

Perhaps one day I'll love another

Whose eyes may be storm cloud grey

Whose every kiss is hot as summer

With the suns every ray


But no-one's ever, ever gonna steal

Ever gonna steal your thunder

Never, ever gonna steal

Ever gonna steal your thunder

Never, ever gonna steal your thunder


Of course, I might get lucky

And roll a six on the dice

There is a chance I'll be lucky

And see lightning strike twice


But no-one's ever, ever gonna steal

Ever gonna steal your thunder

Never, ever gonna steal

Ever gonna steal


...no ...no ...no ...no ...


No-one's ever, ever gonna steal, ever gonna steal your thunder

No-one's ever, ever gonna steal

your thunder

Prefab Sprout - Looking For Atlantis

Artist: Prefab Sprout
Music Album: Jordan: The Comeback
(Music Song Lyrics):
If you're looking for Atlantis

You should cast your eye on me

Put your two and two together

Don't you know who built Atlantis

Then returned to the sea

Don't you know who owns the weather ?

Rain or shine

Sure is good to seek a challenge

Sure is fine to set your sights

Sure is foolish to be blinded

There are legions out there churching

Searching for the holy grail

Isn't one of them can find it

All this time

You should be loving someone

And you know who it must be

Cause you'll never find Atlantis

Til you make that someone me

You should be loving someone

And you know who it must be

Cause you'll never find Atlantis

Til you make that someone me

Say you do find your volcano and the darn thing is still hot

Lesson one : Child don't waste it

Lesson two : The world's your cherry

But tomorrow ? Maybe not

Lesson three : Come on and taste it

All this time

You should be loving someone

And you know who it must be

Cause you'll never find Atlantis

Til you make that someone me

You should be loving someone

And you know who it must be

Cause you'll never find Atlantis

Til you make that someone me

Swans and their partners they stay

Faithful forever or die on the water

Foxes are only good for

Ruffling feathers, leading lambs to the slaughter


Swans - effortlessly beautiful take care !

You ought to be aware of foxes hiding

Go on - there's time for you to sail back to his side

While I forget I ever saw you gliding


Swans and their partners they stay

Faithful forever or die on the water


Swans - effortlessly beautiful take care !

You ought to be aware of foxes hiding

Go on - still time for you to sail back to his side

While I forget I ever saw you gliding

Artist: Prefab Sprout
Music Album: From Langley Park To Memphis
(Music Song Lyrics):
Tell me do, something true, true of you and me
That we're too busy living through, too busy to see.
What is it that we do makes us what we are
If we sing are we nightingales, shine are we stars ?

Who are we ? What we got ? Are we a firework show ?
Growing pale like a star that burnt out years ago
Stranger things have been, stranger things have gone,
I find it hard right now to name you one
Tell me do something true and drop the fairytales.
If singin' birds must sing, with no question of choice
Then livin' is our song, indeed our voice
Best agree you and me we're probably nightingales

- Instrumental Verse -

Who are we ? What we got ? Are we a firework show ?
Growing pale like a star that burnt out years ago

Tell me do something true and drop the fairytales.
If singin' birds must sing, with no question of choice
Then livin' is our song, indeed our voice
Best agree you and me we're probably nightingales

God's a proud thundercloud we are cartoon cats
With a fear that is biblical under our hats

Who are we ? What we got ? Are we a firework show ?
Growing pale like a star that burnt out years ago
Stranger things have been, stranger things have gone,
I find it hard right now to name you one
