1. SAY HALLO
Say hallo when you see my baby
let her know that I miss her so
When you take your holiday
will you bring my love to greet her
for I know that many days
will be gone before I’ll see her
Say hallo when you see my baby
let her know that I miss her so
say hallo when you see my baby
let her know that I miss her so
Every day I think of her
when I get that loving notion
but I can only dream of her
she is way across that ocean
You can tell her that I’ll be there on another day
very soon I will pack my bags and then be on my way
Say hallo when you see my baby
let her know that I miss her so
say hallo when you see my baby
let her know that I miss her so
You can tell her that I’ll be there on another day
very soon I will pack my bags and then be on my way
Say hallo when you see my baby
let her know that I miss her so
say hallo when you see my baby
let her know that I miss her so
2. BEFORE YOU SAY GOODBYE
Take your time, my pretty darling, before you say goodbye
take your time, my pretty darling, for tears can always go by
So many things have changed from in your eyes
but what I feel for you could never be lies
so won’t you try for me, the way it used to be
the difference is in the way we let it show
Take your time, my pretty darling, before you say goodbye
take your time, my pretty darling, for tears can always go by
And life is made to turn the season’s way
to cover yesterdays in thoughts of today
and yet we feel the same, for memories remain
the difference is the way we let them go
So, take your time, my pretty darling, before you say goodbye
take your time, my pretty darling, for tears can always go by
Please, take your time, my pretty darling, before you say goodbye
take your time, my pretty darling, for tears can always go by
3. FLYING MACHINE
When the weather is fine and the clouds go by
I go up in the air, waving people goodbye
In my flying machine
I go up, I go down, I go ‘round
I can race with the birds
I can fight with the wind
I can fly on my head
I can dance in a spin
In my flying machine
I go up, I go down, I go ‘round
People all around gathered on the ground to admire
there’s a feeling inside me that gives me the urge to go higher
But I know what goes up will eventually fall
so I won’t take no chances aside from having a ball
In my flying machine
I go up, I go down, I go ‘round
People on the ground are gathered all around to admire
there’s a feeling inside me that gives me the urge to go higher
But I know what goes up will eventually fall
so I won’t take no chances aside from having a ball
In my flying machine
I go up, I go down, I go ‘round
4. PASSING TIME
White sails on a silver sky, drift away
let me find the peace of another day
Stray beams of a golden sun
will keep me going
will keep the silence overflowing
Passing time, peace of mind,
so far away from traffic jams and borderlines
I’m floating
I sit tight on my pedestal, the sea of clouds
Where tears over joy will never be allowed
I find truth in my solitude
no trust in fate
no fear of heaven’s open gate
Just passing time, peace of mind
so far away from traffic jams and borderlines
I’m floating
Drifters of the skies - take me away
let me find your peace through another day
drifting in the sky – let me go by
God bless the people to find the way
one day
to peace of mind, just passing time . . .

6. THE PIMP’S BRIGADE
In life there's just one simple rule
and not the kind you learn in school
it's simply grab what you can grab,
get nothing in return
some people slave at work all day
the tax man takes his chunk away
and what they're left with in the end is
sweet, sweet . . . nothing
So why not take employment in a tax-free escapade
for I can teach you all the tricks and skills within the trade
The choice is there for you to make
the dough is there for you to take
we welcome you to join us in the pimp’s brigade
It may not be respectable
but certainly delectable
to earn your keep from luscious blondes, hot redhead and brunettes
The gold opportunity
is here with high velocity
to put you in the ballgame of the red light quarter
And you don’t have to worry about the cops around this town
just slip them a couple of bills and they’ll soon turn their heads around
the choice is there for you to make
the dough is there for you to take
we welcome you to join us in the pimp’s brigade
The golden opportunities, numerous amenities
we welcome you to join us in the pimp’s brigade
7. LA TROPICANA
La Tropicana, La Tropicana, La Tropicana
Lime and Tequila, Kailua, Sangria, with bar and cabana a I’Americana
all night casino and combo Latino
and ladies too loco to say but “amigo”
La Tropicana takes me back to RKO
La Tropicana, eh, La Tropicana
to a certain movie some 40 years ago
La Tropicana, eh, La Tropicana
Where love is a drink until your money is dry
where the tables win until your numbers die
with nowhere to go except back to your room
away, away, away . . . from La Signora
La Tropicana - nowhere else to go, (you’ll get by)
La Tropicana - just a place I know
Lime and Tequila, Kailua, Sangria, with bar and cabana a I’Americana
all night casino and combo Latino
and ladies too loco to say but “amigo”
La Tropicana shines her name into the night
La Tropicana, eh, La Tropicana
to caballeros a promise of delight
La Tropicana, eh, La Tropicana
But love is game reaching over the bar
on a broken heart that’s travelled much too far
the tropical nights bring you tropical dreams
away, away, away . . . from La Signora
La Tropicana - nowhere else to go (you’ll get by)
La Tropicana - just a place I know
Lime and Tequila, Kailua, Sangria, with bar and cabana a I’Americana
all night casino and combo Latino
and ladies too loco to say but “amigo”
8. RIGHT OUT OF THE BLUE
Right out of the blue, I stumbled on you
though I don’t think the style did matter
for out of the blue, I knew what to do
though I normally don’t find the chatter
I got a feeling this time of a different kind
I’m on one-way ticket for a sentimental journey
with you
My heart was ticking like a grandfather clock
until I stumbled on you and now the chimes won’t stop
I feel like racing on a formula one
leaning hard on the track to make me number one
You’re a rhapsody in blue
I want to be Gerswin for you
I’m trying to make you understand
I want a bit more than your hand
Right out of the blue, I stumbled on you
though I don’t think the style did matter
for out of the blue, I knew what to do
though I normally don’t find the chatter
I got a feeling this time of a different kind
I’m on a one-way ticket for a sentimental journey
with you
I feel as if I’m on the wheel of roulette
falling onto the number where I’m placing my bet
for when the game is up, lover takes all
won’t you play me your hand, I want to hear you call
You have a magic kind of voodoo
I want to be witch doctor for you
if you still don’t understand
I want a bit more than your hand
Right out of the blue, I stumbled on you
though I don’t think the style did matter
for out of the blue, I knew what to do
though I normally don’t find the chatter
I got a feeling this time of a different kind
I’m on a one-way ticket for a sentimental journey
with you . . .
9. A WOMAN TO MY MAN
I keep light, I keep firm
I take in all the things that I learn
love and passion, day by day
a style, a fashion, come what may
But I want to do what I can
but I want to be what I understand
I’m a child to my family
I’m a girl to my friends
I’m a person in the eyes of my boss
I’m a woman, a woman to my man
I’m a woman to my man
I keep sight of the dream
to make sense out of all that I’ve seen
world action day by day
the star attraction come what may
But I want to do what I can
but I want to be what I understand
I’m a child to my family
I’m a girl to my friends
I’m a person in the eyes of my boss
I’m a woman to my man
But I want to do what I can
but I want to be what I understand
I’m a child to my family
I’m a girl to my friends
I’m a person in the eyes of my boss
I’m a woman to my man
10. IT’S OVER
We don’t talk, we don’t chatter
like we’ve done all this time, this time
but now, it doesn’t matter
it’s over, it’s over
Love, love can only go by
when all, all the tears are dry
and dreams are leading us on
for the first time the heartache is gone
We don’t say how we’re choosing
there’s no need at this time, this time
for now, no one’s losing
it’s over, it’s over
Love, love can only go by
when all, all the tears are dry
and dreams are leading us on
for the first time the heartache is gone
Love, love can only go by
when all, all the tears are dry
and dreams are leaving this heart
for the first time the heartache is gone
11. SOAP SCENARIO
Soap scenario, soap scenario
soap scenario, soap scenario
Your tender love is only pretending
your broken heart is only offending
you sacrifice on love for fear of being wrong
but you still rely on my heart to go on
A broken hero in search of emotion
a bleak euphoria of careless devotion
you trivialize your love for your heart to feel free
but the compromise and the price we pay is on me
In your soap scenario, I just played it all for you
in your soap scenario, only fantasies, your fantasies
come true to me, like recipes, like parodies of love to me
it’s like soap to me, it’s like soap to me, it’s just soap
I tried to please you, but you’re so demanding
it’s too hard to know you, it gets harder and harder
understanding you
but I’ve tried, oh, in spite of all this
you’re still relying on me to get lost in your kiss
In your soap scenario, I just played it all for you
in your soap scenario, only fantasies, your fantasies
come true to me, like recipes, like parodies of love to me
it’s like soap to me, it’s like soap to me, it’s just soap
Your fantasies will be all for you to lean on
for the broken heart within me will be gone
From your soap scenario where I played it all for you
in your soap scenario only fantasies, your fantasies
come true to me
I just played it all for you
in your soap scenario, only fantasies, your fantasies
haunt you
12. TOYTOWN
Toytown . . . childhood memories
13. HASSAN
Hassan, Hassan, Hassan, Hassan, Hassan
Hassan, why do you hurt me so? oh
Hassan, why are you so cruel to me
I don’t understand for all I want is you to be my man
Hassan, why are you so cruel?
Hassan, why don’t you play with me?
Hassan, I will do anything for you
I’ll make you proud
you would be proud of me
if only you would want to stay with me
(in Arabic – approximate translation:)
Look, Hassan, why don’t you stop being such a jerk?
come back home and I’ll make you a tasty couscous!
Hassan, Hassan, Hassan, Hassan, Hassan
Hassan, why do you hurt me so? oh
Hassan, why are you so cruel to me?
I don’t understand, no, I don’t understand
for all I want is you to be my man
Hassan, Hassan, Hassan, Hassan, Hassan . . .
14. TOUBIB (“Doctor”)
Toubib, I’ve got a pain in my heart
Toubib, I’m tearing apart
Toubib Toubib Toubib
Toubib Toubib Toubib
Toubib, I’ve got a pain in my heart
Toubib, I’m tearing apart
Toubib Toubib Toubib
Toubib Toubib Toubib
15. MARSEILLES GALANTE
In life there's just one simple rule
And not the kind you learn in school
It's simply grab what you can grab,
So grab it while you can.
Some people slave at work all day
The tax man takes his chunk away
And what they're left with in the end is
Sweet, sweet...nothing.
But here, we've got employment of a tax free gender Supervising the merchandise for the comfort of the spender
Love is here for every taste
Love is here at every rate
We welcome you to celebrate -Marseilles Galante
Marseilles Galante - Marseilles - Marseilles - Marseilles Marseilles Galante
Marseilles Galante - Marseilles - Marseilles - Marseilles Marseilles Galante
It may not be respectable, but certainly delectable To earn your keep from luscious blondes, hot redheads and brunettes
The golden opportunity has come to be our destiny
To referee the ball game
Of the Red Light Quarter.
We don't have to worry about the cops around this town
We just pay them a little on the side
For them to turn their heads around.
Love is here for all to taste
We're not here to discriminate
We welcome you to celebrate -Marseilles Galante
Marseilles Galante - Marseilles - Marseilles - Marseilles Marseilles Galante
Marseilles Galante - Marseilles - Marseilles - Marseilles Marseilles Galante
Love is here for every taste
Love is here at every rate
We welcome you to celebrate -Marseilles Galante
16. BUMPETY BUMP
Love is fine and dandy,
love is quite a treat.
but love as such is worthless -
it depends entirely upon the one you meet.
if you find a real good looker -
well-dressed, full of flare -
chances are he'll be a gigolo,
a pimp or just a queer.
or if he's in his middle age -
a lusty old nerd -
chances are he'll have a wife and kids
with a house in the suburbs.
So don't go on dreaming,
the world is just a dump.
and all that really seems to matter
is money and bumpety-bump!
Cigarettes and candy,
flowers at a push.
that's about all you can expect from a guy -
at least until you've had your douche.
If he asks you like a little boy,
"Will you play mother for me?"
kick him in the groin:
he's a pervert, that I guarantee.
or if he's of the academic type -
brilliant, but a bore -
when he finds out what you do,
phsst! He'll be out that door.
So don't go on dreaming,
the world is just a dump.
and all that really seems to matter
is money and bumpety-bump!
bumpety-bump!
money and bumpety bump
17. A WOMAN LIKE ME
Can there be love for a woman like me?
is it a dream - or reality?
I guess my looks have changed, to suit this masquerade; I guess I'll have to rearrange those wishes I once made. but never mind the teardrops, they've been known to dry before. there's no one I can blame for all these years insane.
But is there a place for a woman like me?
aside from this place where I can be free?
free to live again -and not just now and then
-but every single moment that I breathe -until the end?
to live this life completely, to care for someone I love,
and to give what a woman should give
-for this I'll do anything at all, just anything at all.
But is there a man for a woman like me?
one who isn't ruled by morality?
I wouldn't make demands or let him feel unfree as long as I would know that his love was just for me. oh no, I wouldn't give a damn if he was broke,
without a dime, as long as I would know
-and as long as he would show -that he was mine.
to give what a woman should give -
for this I'll do anything at all, Just anything at all.
18. STONE AFTER STONE
Day after day until now
life ran away somehow
lost for a time to the borderline
and gates with a one-way sign
year after year until now
hope would appear somehow
for once even questions were treason
now there’s an answer to them all
Yes, we belong to the same world
yes, we belong to it all
once we had walls to divide us
now we can see how they fall
for sometimes to build
is to break it all down
stone after stone after stone
stone after stone after stone
Time after time until now
thoughts would align somehow
for once to believe was just illusion
now it’s a window to the world
Dream after dream until now
fighting to be seen somehow
for once there was only one season
cold as the cold war gone by
Yes, we belong to the same world
Yes, we belong to it all
once we had walls to divide us
now we can see how they fall
for sometimes to build
is to break it all down
stone after stone after stone
stone after stone after stone
Yes, we belong to the same world
yes, we belong to it all
once we had walls to divide us
now we can see how they fall
for sometimes to build
is to break it all down
stone after stone after stone
stone after stone after stone
19. DESERT ISLAND
SOS, SOS
We’re on a desert island, dreaming of love and sex
we’re on a desert island
we’re sending an SOSOS
we’re on a desert island, dreaming of love and sex
we’re on a desert island
because we’re shipwrecked
We’ve got it all here: the sun, the beach and the ocean
there’s only one thing that’s wrong: We’ve got no girls
the heat of the sun is like a tropical love potion
and our basic animal needs are racing into motion
We’re on a desert island dreaming of love and sex
we’re on a desert island
we’re sending an SOSOS
we’re on a desert island dreaming of love and sex
we’re on a desert island
because we’re shipwrecked
It’s going to be long and hotter by the hour
we’re going to be cool with those fantasies about girls
but that tropical breeze is scented like a flower
it’s only getting us hot; We need a cold shower
We’re on a desert island dreaming of love and sex
we’re on a desert island
we’re sending an SOSOS
we’re on a desert island dreaming of love and sex
we’re on a desert island
because we’re shipwrecked
SOS SOS SOS
If we ever get home
back to civilization
we’re going to be looking out for a plethora of girls
in and out of those bars looking for temptation
we’re sending an SOS to make our reservations
We’re on a desert island dreaming of love and sex
we’re on a desert island
we’re sending an SOSOS
we’re on a desert island dreaming of love and sex
we’re on a desert island
we want to get back home
We’re on a desert island dreaming of love and sex
we’re on a desert island
what we need is girls
we’re on a desert island dreaming of love and sex
we’re on a desert island
because we’re shipwrecked

22. SEAGULLS ARE WHITE
1978 - the Amoco Cadiz runs aground off Brittany
over 200,000 tons of crude oil pours into the sea
1984 - the Mount Louise sinks off the Belgium coast
with all its cargo of radioactive uranium hexafloride
1988 - it happens all over again off the eastern coast of England
this time the cargo is vinyl cyanide
in 1995, a lethal cocktail still pours into our seas
we need to do more to stop the madness
And we’ll know what we’ve done to be true, to be right
when our oceans are blue and our seagulls are white
we know that we can bring an end to this fight
when our oceans are blue and our seagulls are white
Like a child with a fantasy
we create our dreams out of industry
filling oceans with our toxic waste
like a doomsday clock from the human race
there’s always been a price to pay
for the future world if we want to stay
we’re the pirates of our destiny
and forever linked to the sea
We can save it all, we can keep it all
if we come together somehow
there’s a time for all, there’s a place for all
if we come together right now
And we’ll know what we’ve done to be true, to be right
when our oceans are blue and our seagulls are white
for we know that we can bring an end to this fight
when our oceans are blue and our seagulls are white
when our oceans are blue and our seagulls are white

Instrumental
24. MEN DON’T CRY
Early forties, overweight
losing hair at a frightening rate
and full of all the pressures of modern life
too much drinking to ease the dread
broken hearts and separate beds
full of all the pressures of man and wife
But men don’t cry, they just die
by keeping all their feelings locked inside
but men don’t cry, they just hide it all in a macho lie
trading off their living for their pride
Tears of pain, tears of joy
that’s OK for a little boy
they’ve got to hide those feelings to be a man
fighting heartaches with a fist
heaven knows what else they’ve missed
why don’t they understand
But men don’t cry, they just die
by keeping all their feelings locked inside
but men don’t cry, they just hide it all in a macho lie
trading off their living for their pride.
David Simons: 44, deceased

Georg Bueller: 43, deceased
Early forties, it’s all gone
heaven knows that kind of pride is strong
they don’t understand
But men don’t cry, they just die
by keeping all their feelings locked inside
but men don’t cry, they just hide it all in a macho lie
trading off their living for their pride
keep it locked inside ‘til they die
but men don’t cry
