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

ES:

Tiéntame, es un momento mágico
solo quiero probar tus labios y rozar tu piel
tómame, en este ambiente cálido
condúceme al amanecer de tus deseos

Inmensidad, acércate hacia mi
fragilidad, no me dejes así
y bésame, quiero estar junto a ti
despertar entre tus brazos por una vez

Mírame soy así como me ves
no tengo nada más que ocultar ni que decir
siénteme, despréndete de ese temor
quizás es este instante y no después para los dos

Inmensidad, acércate hacia mi
fragilidad, no me dejes así
y bésame, quiero estar junto a ti
despertar entre tus brazos por una vez

Acércate hacia mi
no me dejes así
despertar entre tus brazos



EN:

Tempt me, it's a magic moment
I just want to taste your lips and touch your skin
take me, in this warm atmosphere
lead me to the dawn of your desires

Immensity, come closer to me
fragility, don't leave me like this
and kiss me, I want to be next to you
I want to wake up in your arms for once

Look at me I am as you see me
I have nothing more to hide or to say
feel me, let go of that fear
maybe it's this instant and not later for both of us

Immensity, come closer to me
fragility, don't leave me like this
and kiss me, I want to be with you
I want to wake up in your arms for once

Come closer to me
don't leave me like this
wake up in your arms
