A Question of Honour


Ebbene? ... N'andrò lontana,
Come va l'eco della pia camana,
Là, fra la neve bianca;
Là, fra le nubi d'or;
Là, dov'è la speranza, la speranza
Il rimpianto, il rimpianto, e il dolor!
Well? I will go far,
As the echo of the devout bell goes,
Here, between the snow white woman;
Here, between clouds of or;
Here, dov' it is the hope, the hope
The regret, the regret, and the dolor!


Ebbene? ... N'andrò lontana,
Là, dov'è la speranza, la speranza
Il rimpianto
Sola e lontana!
Well? N' I will go far,
Here, dov' it is the hope, the hope
The regret
Single and far!


Two men collide
When two men collide, when two men collide
It's a question of honour
Two men collide
When two men collide, when two men collide
It's a question of honour
Two men collide
When two men collide, when two men collide

If you win or you lose, it's a question of honour
And the way that you choose, it's a question of honour

I can't tell what's wrong or right
If black is white or day is night
But I know when two men collide
It's a question of honour

If you win or you lose, it's a question of honour
And the way that you choose, it's a question of honour
If you win or you lose, it's a question of honour
And the way that you choose, it's a question of honour

I can't tell what's wrong or right
If black is white or day is night
I know when two men collide
It's a question of honour

Ebbene? ... N'andrò lontana,
Come l'eco della pia campana,
Là, fra la neve bianca;
Là, fra le nubi d'or;
N'andrò, n'andrò sola e lontana!
E fra le nubi d'or!
Well? N' I will go far,
Like the echo of the devout bell,
Here, between the snow white woman;
Here, between clouds of or;
N' I will go, n' I will go single and far!
And between clouds of or!

A Salty Dog


All hands on deck
We've run afloat
I heard the captain cry
Explore the ship
Replace the cook
Let no one leave alive
Across the straits
Around the horn
How far can sailors fly
A twisted path
Our tortured course
And no one left alive

We sailed for parts
Unknown to man
Where ships come home to die
No lofty peak
Nor fortress hold
Could match our captain's eye

Upon the seventh sea sick day
We made our port of call
A sand so white
And seas so blue
No mortal place at all

We fired the gun
And burned the mast
And rowed from ship to shore
The captain cried
We sailors wept
Our tears were tears of joy
How many moons
And many Junes
Have passed since we made land
A salty dog
The seaman's log
Your witness, my own hand

A Whiter Shade of Pale


We skipped the light Fandango
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kind of seasick
But the crowd called out for more
The room was humming harder
As the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
The waiter brought a tray

And so it was that later
As the Miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale


She said there is no reason
And the truth is plain to see
But I wandered through my playing cards
And I would not let her be
One of the sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were open
They might just as well've been closed


And so it was that later
As the Miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale

Action Man


I'm not gonna sleep my life away
I do what, I do, I do; and now this is I like it (like it)
See, there's this guy in town that I'd like to know
I do what, I feel, I feel it now I have nothing to hide it

[Refrain:]
I need my action man tonight.
I need him here to hold me tight.
I need my action man to stay
I need him here 'cause I want to play.

Won't stay at home, livin' by the phone
I do what I do and I'm never alone

It's electrifyin' never stops to fly in
He's a total stranger so I'm looking for danger
I need my action man tonight you're gonna be hangin'
And he's gonna hide me, is my action man alive?

Watching TV's really quite a bore
I do what, I do, I do, and now this is I like it (like it)
See he don't have to pick stuff off the floor
I do what, I feel, I feel it now I don't have to fight it

I need my action man tonight.
I need him here to hold me tight.
I need my action man to stay
I need him here 'cause I want to play.

Won't stay at home, livin' by the phone
So I do what I do and I'm never alone

It's electrifyin' never stops to fly in
He's a total stranger so I'm looking for danger
I need my action man tonight you're gonna be hangin'
And he's gonna hide me, is my action man alive?

[Instrumental]

You know I'm so delighted when you're around
You make me high and frisker, feet off the ground
You know I'm so excited when you are near
When you're here

It's electrifyin' never stops to fly in
He's a total stranger so I'm looking for danger

[Electronic Voice:]
I'm on the town, they're all kids, but I'm the action man.
Night after night they fight for a piece of the action man.

[Choir:]
Action man, you know that I want ya
Action man, you know that I need ya

ALHAMBRA


Duermen tus recuerdos
De ebano y perfume
En tus aposentos,
Llenos de ternura,
Mi querida Alhambra.

Viste mil amores
Nacer en tus entranas,
Luces que acarician
Desde tus ventanas,
Despechada Alhambra.
Brillan tus ensuenos
En un mar de estrellas
Y la luna canta
Tu silencio, Alhambra.
Lagrimas de yedra
Lloran los vencidos,
Entre espada y rosa
Crecen tus olivos,
Mi querida Alhambra.

Guardo en mi recuerdo
Tu sabor la luna,
Brillas sobre el pueblo
Como el sol, Alhambra.

Sueno con Alhambra,
Mi querida Alhambra.

All I Ask of You


From The Phantom of the Opera Raoul

No more talk of darkness,
forget these wide-eyed fears;
I'm here, nothing can harm you,
my words will warm and calm you.
Let me be your freedom,
let daylight dry your tears;
I'm here, with you, beside you,
to guard you and to guide you.

Christine
Say you'll love me ev'ry waking moment;
turn my head with talk of summertime.
Say you need me with you now and always;
promise me that all you say is true,
that's all I ask of you.

Raoul
Let me be your shelter,
let me be your light;
you're safe, no one will find you,
your fears are far behind you.

Christine
All I want is freedom,
a world with no more night;
and you, always beside me,
to hold me and to hide me.

Raoul
Then say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime;
let me lead you from you solitude.
Say you want me with you, here beside you,
anywhere you go, let me go too,
that's all I ask of you.

Christine
Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime.

Together
Say the word and I will follow you.
Share each day with me, each night, each morning.

Christine
Say you love me...

Raoul
You know I do.

Together
Love me, that's all I ask of you.

Anywhere you go let me go too

Love me...
that's all I ask of you.
