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

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

So soft the kiss
Of your loving lips Heavenly bliss Don’t need more than this
I was fine, you were there Coming out from nowhere I was sure you’d be mine Until maybe the end of time
My hands on your shoulders waiting for dawn Then my hands on your hips dancing till dawn
On a summer ride With you by my side The summer taste On your sun kissed skin
I was fine, you were there Coming out from nowhere I was sure you’d be mine Until maybe the end of time
My hands on your shoulders waiting for dawn Then my hands on your hips dancing till dawn

I'll keep you close, No matter what it takes, When hopes goes,
I'll show you the way.
We know it's not impossible for the waves to crash on us.
I will be,
I will be, I will be there, Whenever you're in need.
I will be, I will be, I will be there, You can count on me.
I'll stick by you, No matter your mistakes, When hope goes, I'll show you the way.
We could be unstoppable if you hold my hand and trust.
I will be, I will be, I will be there, Whenever you're in need.
I will be, I will be, I will be there, You can count on me.
I will be there, I will be there.

Ooh, Ooh, Morning is breaking, Day is awakening, Coming to life, And the colours are new, And the colours are new, And the colours are new.
Look in your eyes and I see I am where I'm meant to be with you, Look in your heart and you will find that your purpose is the same as mine.
Sun like gold on the mountain, Tall tress whisper of beginnings, Leading us on, Where the colours are new, Where the colours are new, Where the colours are new.
Ooh, ooh, Ooh, ooh.
Look in your eyes and I see I am where I'm meant to be with you, Look in your heart and you will find that your purpose is the same as mine.
Ooh, ooh, oh.
