The places I go are never there...

When I take a picture of the city it disappears

It's only a photograph the city is gone
The places I go are never there
The places I go are never there

Nastalgia isn't what it used to be
I can only picture the disappearing world
When you touch me

He brought me the air of Paris in a bottle
The record caught the air of London
Nineteen sixty-five Pictures
The places I go are never there
The places I go are never there

Nastalgia isn't what it used to be
I can only picture the disappearing world
When you touch me
When you touch me, when you touch me

You're the last of your kind...

You're the last of your kind, Mona Lisa
With a wink of your eye,
Ya' make it all right
Oh there's more left to life, Mona Lisa
Let me take you along for the ride

Aint nothin’ that stays the same
Won't ask it a’ you
Just that burgundy smile you wore yesterday
Say ya' won’t ever lose

I been down, I been worse
Mona Lisa
Came in last, came in first
But it all gathers dirt, Mona Lisa
‘Fore ya bathe in the light

Aint nothin’ that stays the same
Won't ask it a’ you
Just that burgundy smile you wore yesterday
Say ya won't ever lose

Oh ya taught me this much, Mona Lisa
I done set it aside
For when you need the same magic touch
For for when you need remindin’

Aint nothin’ that stays the same
Won't ask it a’ you
Just that burgundy smile you wore yesterday
Say ya won't ever lose
Just that burgundy smile you wore yesterday
Say ya won't ever lose


Mona Lisa - Grant Lee Phillips

Broken windows and empty hallways...

Broken windows and empty hallways,
A pale dead moon in a sky streaked with grey.
Human kindness... overflowing,
And I think it's going to rain today.

Scarecrows dressed in the latest styles,
The frozen smiles to chase love away.
Human kindness... overflowing,
And I think it's going to rain today.

Lonely, lonely.
Tin can at my feet,
I think I'll kick it down the street.
That's the way to treat a friend.

Bright before me the signs implore me:
"Help the needy and show them the way"
Human kindness... overflowing,
And I think it's going to rain today.


Think It's Going to Rain Today - Claudine Longet

These are the days when you wish your bed was already made.

Six o'clock already
I was just in the middle of a dream
I was kissin' Valentino
By a crystal blue Italian stream

But I can't be late
'Cause then I guess I just won't get paid
These are the days
When you wish your bed was already made

It's just another manic Monday
I wish it were Sunday
'Cause that's my funday
My "I don't have to run day "
It's just another manic Monday

Have to catch an early train
Got to be to work by nine
And if I had an air-o-plane
I still couldn't make it on time

'Cause it takes me so long
Just to figure out what I'm gonna wear
Blame it on the train
But the boss is already there

It's just another manic Monday
I wish it were Sunday
'Cause that's my funday
My "I don't have to run day"
It's just another manic Monday

All of the nights
Why did my lover have to pick last night
To get down
Doesn't it matter
That I have to feed the both of us
Employment's down

He tells me in his bedroom voice
C'mon honey, let's go make some noise
Time it goes so fast
When you're having fun

It's just another manic Monday
I wish it were Sunday
'Cause that's my fun day
My "I don't have to run day"
It's just another manic Monday
I wish it was Sunday
'Cause that's my funday
It's just another manic Monday



Manic Monday - The Bangles

We got it all destined to fall our love affairs are tragical...

I didn't wanna say 'I'm sorry'
For breaking us apart,
I didn't wanna say 'It was my fault'
Even though I knew it was
I didn't wanna call you back
'Cause I knew that I was wrong
Yeah I knew I was wrong

One in the same
Never to change
Our love was beautiful
We got it all
Destined to fall
Our love was tragical
Wanted to call
No need to fight
You know I wouldn't lie
But tonight, we'll leave it on the line

Listen baby
Never would have said 'Forever'
If I knew it'd end so fast
Why did you say 'I love you'
If you knew that it wouldn't last
Baby I just can't hear what your saying
The line is breaking up
Or is that just us?
Or is that just us?

One in the same
Never to change
Our love was beautiful
We got it all
Destined to fall
Our love was tragical
Wanted to call
No need to fight
You know I wouldn't lie
But tonight, we'll leave it on the line

I try to call again
I get your mailbox
Like a letter left unread
Apologies are often open ended
But this one's better left unsaid

One in the same
Never to change
Our love was beautiful
We got it all
Destined to fall
Our love was tragical
Wanted to call
No need to fight
You know I wouldn't lie
But tonight, we'll leave it on the line.
