Michael Franks piosenki

I fly solo The Number One's my logo Birth of the Cool's my theme song For me the whole love scene's wrong I surrender Take me prisoner right away I'm content with you inside I surrender Learned my lesson the hard way: "You can run but you can't hide"...

When you meet someone who inspires your worst angry voice Just retreat-happiness is always a much better choice Why chargin? If you're in- Sisting on the last word It's quite over-rated Like our mothers taught: Unkind words we just ought not to Hey, everything...

Summer retreats now Green kingdom's end Why can't I make Time suspend? The hummingbird would hover by me And never fly away If only I could Make September stay In every blossom She hides a song Sunshine be mine All year long The hummingbird would hum beside...

I've squandered love as I've wandered Lover to lover untrue Cut flowers pink tile showers Women I've counted like coups Been in search of the perfect shampoo You thrilled me Walked right up to me My follicles prayed it was true Don't panic, we're pur...

You kill me with kindness. You call me "Your Highness." But When I get Blue I can never find you. The circle keeps turning The sky is still burning. I hear from my ex- On the back of my checks. But hold me awhile And I'll hang up my guns, mama I kno...

No one here Venus and Mars And a skyful of stars It's been a slo-mo year A few stolen kisses And several near misses I wait (wish my mission was clearer) For the cherub's arrow Hesitate (one last look in the mirror) My lappels are narrow Down the sta...

Remember, when your kite hits the ground And your smile turns upside down It's only going on inside you Whenever the libretto won't do And all the notes become too blue Remember there's a song inside you Cara Mia, if you're ever lost at sea Just call o...

Keep believing you soon will earn your turn to flash in the pan It's deceiving 'cause nothing kills like this metropolis can Everywhere there's blind ambition Dog eat dog and screw you You do unto others and they do unto you Everyday you fight taxicabs a...

Wintertime when the city gets to me I climb on that plane at Kennedy And fly to the southern Hemisphere Where the sky is clear I abandon the bleak December chill There's nothing like Christmas in Brazil The weather's completely upside down When we touch down...

I used to be mellow 'Til you got a hold of me Now I feel like a fellow - dying of jealousy Were you late last night, I passed your house I saw no light I called you on the phone 100 times you weren't at home Don't say just out with friends, I can't believe tha...

After you hurt me, After I hurt you, And all of my bad dreams, One by one, came true You said it was goodbye But the eyes never lie And I knew That it was only Jive. So you found a new lover to wear your crown, And I found a cheap flat up in Chinato...

Brush every night, don't let the bedbugs bite The ones I'm referring to Till I get home I'll be Keeping my eye on you. Don't stay out late, stay home and cogitate, And write me a letter too, While I'm away I'll be Keeping an eye on you. May I suggest...

There's moon tonight And the mood feels right 'Cause it's Ladies' Nite At the Wishing Well Saloon Think I'll catch me one Play some One-on-One Have some harmless fun At the Wishing Well Saloon There's quite a crowd The music's loud The drinks are f...

I knew from the moment I saw you My bad luck in love was all in the past How true, been so high it's unreal And this feeling reminds me of Laughing gas How square that our Age is Atomic It's kind of tragicomic too But we can laugh away our blues, Babe...

I guess I flew too high Icarus falling from the sky But in the dense rainforest heat Somehow I landed on my feet with the will to survive And in the heart of darkness Without a chance of rescue I never quit, I just refused I thought of you, somehow I k...

Remember the first night we met? Your eyes convinced me to forget How easily love can fail Revive my hope I never could Inside I'd given up for good Until you broke the spell Heartaches, and making the most obvious mistakes Hindsight reveals is learnin...

When I met you I was blind Underneath a dark cloud couldn't find the blue And I wasn't sure quite what to do I wore my heart upon my sleeve Disappointed I could not believe at last That I had finally shaken off the past with you I don't know how you tra...

Cast upon the wind When it shifted i drifted Without a star to steer by Fowl weather took me by suprise I felt the sea begin to rise.. You are my lifeline When love ripped all my sails with rain, You saved me from this hurricane, You are my life...

Lady, lovely as light, you lie beside me While I dream, but at dawn you disappear Who decides how much longing is the right amount? So many times I nearly found you, I lost count Each time I think I'm close enough to touch you You hide from me seductively...

My memories of you Lunch in Le Blonde, speaking of the Amazon Or navigating through your hometown Ipanema Walking on the beach Holding our shoes You described just how amused Surrender to you, wave In one piece, no problema My memories of you always...
