port of call
THE WALTZ
Melody by Silje Nergaard
Lyrics by Mike McGurk
strike up the band let it play
love songs to haunt me and I will stay
but when it comes to a waltz
both words and music will ring false
...
cos you waltzed in
and spun my world
around in dizzy dance
I swirled
but suddenly
you waltzed away from me
...
those violins they must go
so no careless hand with a bow
may play on the srings of my heart
and make me remember how lovers part
...
how you waltzed in
and spun my world
around in dizzy dance
I swirled
but suddenly
you waltzed away from me
...
strike up the band let it play
whatever it chooses and I’ll say
play me a waltz if you will
I’ll sit here and listen waiting until
my love returns
to take my world
and spin it‘round
in dizzy swirl
where girl loves boy
and boy loves girl
and feet don’t touch the ground
ME OH MY
Melody by Silje Nergaard
Lyrics by Mike McGurk
there I go again losing my head
you in the lead and me being led
playing little-girl-lost
led by the nose by you
to a life you have laid for two
me oh my you chose little old me
to shower with love and sympathy
to have and to hold
for as long as YOU decide
a fall follows pride
lost girls can find their way back
now boy it’s high time for pay-back
I’m getting even
I’m tired of being your plaything
seeing everything your way
she put him though it
how could she do it
he won’t forget it
she’ll live to regret it
I’m flying solo
so here am I fallen from grace
and tables for two
with a smile on my face
I raise my glass high
drink to the plans you’ll lay
and the role I’ll never play
SHAME ON YO
Melody by Silje Nergaard
Lyrics by Mike McGurk
it doesn’t really matter where you’re coming from
it’s no concern of mine where you are bound
your move from A to B is basic geometry
the shortest line is me
spare me lengthy tales of pain and misery
of how you once were lost..but now are found
I wasn’t searching...just remember who found who
between two points in time
...
shame on you
expecting me to go along with all that you do
shame on you
go play your game of hide-and-seek with somebody new
...
I’m just another port-of–call along the way
another landing place...but that’s alright
let’s forget the why’s and wherefore’s
and get on with saying our goodbyes
...
shame on you
expecting me to go along with all that you do
shame on you
go play your game of hide-and-seek with somebody new
...
watch my lips hear what they’re saying
I will spell it out
keep those mind games you love playing
they’re not what I’m about
...
shame on you
expecting me to go along with all that you do
shame on you
go play your game of hide-and-seek with somebody new
...
