Small Girls Talk A Lot
(S.Simon)

People walk outside my window
People talk outside my window
People love outside my window
People hate outside my window
Sometimes I wonder what's it all about
Talking much too fast and too loud
Baby, what's wrong with you ?
Baby, the lights have changed for you
People lie outside my window
People cry outside my window
People fly outside my window
People die outside my window
Sometimes I wonder what's it all about ?
Talking much too fast and too loud
Baby, don't you really know ?
Baby, small girls talk a lot
Bridge
Baby, what's wrong with you ?
Baby, the lights have changed for you
Baby, don't you really know ?
Baby small girls talk a lot
 
Star
(S.Simon)

Every word you say is full of crap
Pretend to know where it's at
But you're a liar, oh not a star
You're a liar, oh not a star
Transparent lies all you praise
Heard it all before in same old ways
But you're a liar, oh not a star
You're a liar, oh not a star
Everybody knows the tunes you slay
There's nothing new in the shit you play
Liar, oh not a star
Liar, oh not a star
Think that you're hip from the start
But my rhyme will close, you're just a fart
Just a liar, not a star
Just a liar, a boring fart
 
Mary Jane
(S.Simon)

Mary Jane's got a splendid game
Everyday she choose a new name
Change the style and the colour of her hair
Why should she care 'bout the people who stand and stare
Her dress is made of London Times
Wrapped in paper waste, she's ready to chime
In on talks that no one will share
Why should she care 'bout the people who stand and stare ?
Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary Jane
Playin' hide and seek in the rain
The oher day I missed her scene
The same today nowhere to be seen
Just a nothing in a lonely dream ?
Why should she care 'bout the people who stand and stare ?
Mary...
quite charming solo passage in semi-arabian style
repeat first verse and modified chorus
 
By Numbers
(S.Simon)

First seconds then minutes
A game of ours to daze
For ages and ages
On all counts
Endlessly
Waste your time on same old things
You wait and see what tomorrow brings
The daily noose winding 'round and 'round
And it brings you further down
Solid ground, solid ground
The solid ground of your breakfast-plate
Is plastered with important dates
Like when it's time to go the loo
Count again the tiles 'til you're through
Skyblue, skyblue
Do you really know what you always do ?
Do you really know what it's like to be ?
Do you draw the lines at all your points ?
Do you end life by numbers ?
First seconds then minutes,
A game of ours to daze,
For ages and ages,
On all counts,
Endlessly...
Skyblue once, but fade to grey
For twenty years camp holidays
Near the Atlantic Sea in Western France
The bingo-hall's put you in a trance
You're making friends, making friends
Making friends is out of reach
You're known to be a boring peach
Wasting time on same old things
Heaven helps a fool to shrienk
Makes me think, makes me think
Do you really know what you always do ?
Do you really know what it's like to be ?
Do you draw the lines at all you're points ?
Do you end life by numbers ?
 
Not To Sirius
(S.Simon)

A stupid joke explode in my brain
Teardrop on fire got salty flames
Burning like a gas-can
Faster than my shadow gets a tan

Bursting out in tears of joy, I roll on the floor

Who are all those big-eyed beans I see ?
Have I accidently found a galaxy
Where happiness is public enemy No.1 ?
But why should I care, I'm havin' fun

Bursting out in tears of joy, roll out another one

Bounce, up and down, jump in the sky, day and night
Night and day, I fool the games, that you play, all the time

Explosive words of gas tend to burn
Another green bean face, who has to learn
What stupidity causes in the end
My shadows fartin' faster than you can

Bursting out in tears of joy, roll out another one

Bounce, up and down, jump in the sky, day and night
Night and day, I fool the games, that you play
All the time
All the time
All the time
All the time
 
Modelled Right
(S.Simon)

Julie's got some lovely dollsinside her silver bag
Each one's got a different name engraved on it's head
It's alright, right, right, right, right for you
It's alright, right, right, right, right for you
Sometimes there are mojo-pins stuck inside one's heart
The other day my best friend Chuck, well he burnt in his car
It's alright, right, right, right, right for you
It's alright, right, right, right, right for you
Burn, Baby burn, Baby burn
Burn, Baby burn, Baby burn
I'd better not told my Doc about feelin' not quite well
'Cause livin' in this looney-bin, is my place to dwell
It's alright...
"rediculous eargoggle attack under Stromsteve's command"
Well I get my special food and Julie's been gone
But if you listen close enough, I can hear her sing along
It's alright...
Burn, Baby burn...
 
Peppermint Cheesecake
(S.Simon)

High up in the evening sky, right below the moon
I swear I saw a fool's parade, moving through the blue
All sat on white ponies paaler than snow-geese
And sailing on cloudy boats, torn by the breeze
Please, smile and say cheese, show me your teeth
If you'd like to be...
Listen, can you tell me, who's the stranger in the night
This little big-eyed buddy or Frank dressed in white ?
Believe in all my fairy-tales, that's alright with you
Weird things happen all the time and they love you too
Please, smile and say cheese, show me your teeth
If you'd like to be my friend tonight, until the morning
Comes again and we'll be yawning
And taste some lovely peppermint again, again...
Again the sun rises, keep turning in space
For some more billion years, after we've left this place
Maybe we'll make our way onboard a rocket-ship
If you'd only be so kind, I'd like to paint your trip
Please, smile and say cheese, show me your teeth
If you'd like to be my friend tonight, until the morning
Comes again and we'll be yawning
And taste some lovely peppermint again
Be my friend until the morning
Comes again and we'll be yawning
And taste some lovely peppermint again
 
Stumbling
(S.Simon)

There's an old wooden house in the street
The paint is peeled and overgrown with weeds
But an old lady is still living there
Brushing all day long her coloured hair
Well, her mirror isn't charming anymore
Reflects her how she is, not years before
Several make-up layers upon her face
Can't bring back the beauty and her grace
Up in Hollywood Hills
She's got time to kill
She can't stand the light
Burning herinside
Shadows 'round her eyes stay like close friends
Who won't dare to say: you're looking grand
Dry bloodred roses are turning black
Life's got no chance of coming back
Up in Hollywood Hills
She's got time to kill
She can't stand no light
Burning her inside
Yesterday I saw her on the screen
A Hitchcock femme fatale all dressed in green
A weird mad man in black twisted her soul
Living dead's can't change their stumbling role
Stumbling role...
 
Green Sun
(S.Simon)

Inside your mind you try to find
A deeper meaning of your kind
And while searching your inner glow
You'd better listen, how the wind blows
A storm is coming up, but not in your coffee-cup
Position No. 49
Meditate in front of your shrine
Burn incense and ding a dong
Do you listen to the wind's song
The eyes of hurricanes won't leave you the same
Hello my green sun in the wide white sky
Yell out your scream sun in the white, white light
Paralized in paradise
The naked truth blinds your eyes
Flaming sword shows you the way
Snakes and ladders 'til your dying day
Along the beaten path, watch all the signs you pass
How many angels on a pin-top
Will take a seat to watch you sob
While you ignore their silent mourn
Is it important how your bits are torn ?
Beware the seeds you sow and all the fruits you grow
Hello my green son in the wide white sky
Mellow my green son, right rite in time
 
Heads For The Crowd
(S.Simon)

Follow me thru' history, read between the lines
What was there that is still here, ever all the time
Galleries present the dead in glorious lights
But look at the shadowing, the sardonic smiles
Who will it be this time ?
Who will it be this time ?
Dukes and lords, kings and queens, popes in red robes
They all loved the pain of man, nailes to the cross
Unbelievable crimes were done to reach a bloody high
Slaughter's just a game of lust, justified by might
Who will it be this time ?
Who will it be this time ?
Execution a killing-fair, let it all hang out
Sighing: who's next in line ?
Heads for the crowd
