Travel to Persia

That day,
 
Death had already come several times
 
To ask for me.
 
But I had her told
That I was not home
 
For I had other fish to fry
Than to listen to her
 
Other cats to whip
 
And more precisely
The Cat.Shah of Persia
 
That I had captured
 
Baiting him with a superb piece of green meat
 
- the Cat.Shahs of Persia relish on it -
 
One day, as he went away
 
With his companions
 
Music in mind
 
On the road to Tehran
 
It was a cracking party day
 
And he felt very happy
 
At the thought that poor peasants
 
Could be whipped.
 
So I carried him in a big suitcase
 
And showed him
 
For free
 
To the peasants
 
And then I whipped him
publicly
 
Asking no tip
 
And all the peasants got very happy.
 
I put him back into
The suitcase
 
And carried on my trip
through Persia
 
My pleasure travel
 
Pleasure for the others
 
For little children and also their parents
 
Because, as for me, I felt no pleasure at all
 
In beating the monarch
 
Simply the same tiredness
 
That one feels beating Persian
 
Carpets.
 
When suddenly appeared
 
A Londonian animal,
 
A perfect Limehouse gentleman up on the rooves
 
He was just passing and introduced himself:
 
I am the nine-tail tomcat
 
I know the job
 
And I can give you a hand at it
 
Here are my fees:
 
I want mice every day.
 
Sounds perfect, I said.
 
And, as well, I want to be allowed to stop
 
At will on the road
 
If a she-cat I like
 
Happens to pass on that road.
 
All right, I said, all right.
 
And be allowed to make love to her
 
The tomcat pointed out
 
And I want birds
 
To offer as presents to her
 
All right, all right, everything you want
 
I said.
 
I was so tired
 
And things went better.
 
The tomcat beat the Cat.Shah of Persia
 
Really correctly
 
And I beat my drum
 
And the peasants grew happier and happier
 
And they brought to the Cat.Shah
 
Mice and corn-rats
 
And, for me,
 
Things were just the same
 
Fresh drinks
 
And beautiful girls kissing me on my lips
 
In short,.it was fabulous
 
And, even, one day,
 
Some weavers
 
Offered to the cat and me
 
A genuine flying-carpet.
 
You will go faster this way, they told us
 
To go touring.
 
This way, the whole Persian country
 
Will get a clearer view of the
 
so comforting show.
 
But,suddenly, one day,
 
The Cat.Shah
 
looked at us painfully:
 
Is this little game going to last long ?
 
I can still remember precisely
 
What his face kooked like and what the weather looked like
 
That very day, at the same time,
 
The weather was so fine.
 
We were arriving on the carpet
 
Six or nine thousand feet over Tehran
 
And the Tomcat told the Cat.Shah,
 
Gently, all smiles,
 
Come on, come on,
 
Don't go complaining,
Your Majesty,
 
Had we wanted it so
 
We might have killed you
 
Or locked you up
 
In a big translucent jar
 
In the company of wicked gherkins
 
There, you would have died of thirst,
 
Been tormented in a thousand ways
 
Good Lord,
 
said the Cat.Shah
 
One must not do things like these
 
And then, he went on:
 
At the onset, I got surprised, it astonished me and, I should say, it pleased me, to be honest, it was new, you understand, but now, I become fed up!
 
It hurts a lot, you know, and it's humiliating, not to mention the fact that I look like a zebra now,.a zebra on the throne of Persia, you must admit it is sheer Shahcking, to say the least and I mean every word I say, yet I must confess to you that I'm not happy, no, not happy at all
 
At all at all at all
 
At all at all
 
At all
 
But, what does it matter,
 
The tomcat said
 
Since we're all happy,
 
We.
 
And we went down to town
 
Where everyone was revelling,
 
Where,everywhere, the joy of living
 
Was walking, all naked, in the street,
 
Where, everywhere, drunk Persians could be seen,
 
And welcomed us.
 
It's all fine,
 
The tomcat said.
 
Life is great
 
The throne is empty
 
But the wine-tubs are full
 
Alas,
 
I can't recognize my town any more,
 
the monarch said.
 
What is to become of me ?
 
Me
 
In all this ?
 
You gonna make yourself useful.
The tomvat said.
And , to start with, you will clean my dish.

If children would rule the world





I.went for a walk today
Through friendly streets
The friendly streets of my city
Everyone turns to look at me
To look at me curiously
 

Just one small, playful, friendly child
Small and mischievous
Looked at me with trust
He was singing and laughing as he played
Laughing and playing as I walked away
 

If children would rule the world
And instead of war, they would order play
Men would have genuine smiles
And every street would be filled with singing
 

If children would rule the world
And instead of war, they would order play
Men would have genuine smiles
And every street would be filled with singing
 

Everyone turns to look at me
To look at me curiously
People are ready to judge me when I smile
When I smile, they look at me with malice
 

Just one small, playful, friendly child
Small and mischievous
Looked at me with trust
He was singing and laughing as he played
Laughing and playing as I walked away
 

If children would rule the world
And instead of war, they would order play
Men would have genuine smiles
And every street would be filled with singing
 

If children would rule the world
And instead of war, they would order play
Men would have genuine smiles
And every street would be filled with singing

Porncraving





It is known everywhere
The girls of Venus
The girls of Venus are infected by Venereal Diseases
In fact no one goes to the primaries/chief physicians to vote,
Anyone with problems of the urinary tract
But I am the chairman
And I don´t care about nothing
And further
I started again with HIV-love
And I don´t understand why you are upset
you have no reason
If I told you that the result is positive, really
You are all the porn I need
You are all the porn I need
You are all the porn I need
All the porn
Now I'm taking this sick word
And spread it to the whole electorate
This is a less invasive method
I will sit down in the armchair of a television talk show
And in a second I'll explain my program to you, so
Now I'm buying the TV, the love, newspapers and the Voodoo guru and I think
That this freedom is a little simple
As news, really
You are all the porn I need
You are all the porn I need
You are all the porn I need
You are all the porn I need
You are all the porn I need
You are all the porn I need
All the porn
All the porn
All the porn
And with a sick glow on the face
Saying: 'It's crazy not to carry this cross
Everyone thinks so much of themselves
So let it be, love,
And tell me, what am I to you?
What am I to you?

Beyond (Reprise)





And we will follow our star together
We will surge like a tide
The whole world is our home
We’ll go all the way
To the beginning of all beginnings
Where our very first dock remained
From the depths as one we will rise
We will follow the star

Even though I don't tell you





If I make it to stay quiet this time
and enjoy this moment with nothing that interrupts us
If nobody's looking for us
I can stand up on you
You keep so stable when doubts come to me
 

Where are you
I think about what you must be doing
I set a time-out every time
you leave
I can pretend I entertain myself
and I don't miss you
 

I love you so much and I know
sometimes I forget
but I can't lose
what life gives me
And I don't know what to answer
when you don't look at me
but you know I'm ok
Even though I don't tell you
 

You float on the room where you're in
And I'm trying to catch you, though you say that in every one of your lives,
you would choose me
How many mouths there are that want to eat
If they just knew what you can do when everything is over
 

Where are you
I think about what you must be doing
I set a time-out every time
you leave
I can pretend I entertain myself
and I don't miss you
 

I love you so much and I know
sometimes I forget
but I can't lose
what life gives me
And I don't know what to answer
when you don't look at me
but you know I'm ok
Even though I don't tell you
 

Even though I don't tell you
Even though everything's over
Even though I don't tell you
This may end well
Even though I don't tell you
even though everything's over
Even though I don't tell you
this may end well
 

I love you so much and I know
sometimes I forget
but I can't lose
what life gives me
And I don't know what to answer
when you don't look at me
but you know I'm ok
Even though I don't tell you
