My Sister Rose
[ jerome augustyniak/natalie merchant ]
Big plans are being made for my sisters wedding day.
Well have a ball at the sons of roma hall.
Family, friends come one and all.
First the best man makes a toast to rocky and my sister rose,
A life of years free of tears. bottoms up and lots of luck!
'
Polka, tango everyone, cha-cha, mambo rose and rock alone.
Frankie rizzo and his combo play on.
Single girls all hear the call from a crowd at the back wall
And when the bouquet flies each one tries to be the best catch and next years bride.
Uncle sam and uncle joe take their places in the row.
Theyre standing by side to side for dollar dances with the bride.
Polka, tango everyone, cha-cha, mambo, rose and rock alone.
Hes a banker, shell be well off now.
Sister rose take your mothers place.
Trade your home and your maiden name.
For a list of vows and a veil of lace made a wife of you today.
Now they cut the five tier cake, that colucci, he can bake.
A frosted tower of sugar and flour for the couple of the hour.

Randolphs Tango
The senorita took off her bobby socks
She said shes gonna wear a skirt that shocks
Shes pulling out all the stops
To get her randolph back again
Meanwhile randolph, hes back at the ranch
Hes getting ready for tonights song and dance
Hes doesnt know he doesnt stand a chance
His last affair will be his last romance
The senorita will be there waiting
Dont go my randolph slow tango with me
Underneath the latin moonlight
The danced and seen a falling star in flight
To the strum of guitars she held him tight
She wants her randolph back again
Meanwhile its worthwhile for randolph to wait
till he gets the nerve then he wont hesitate
He doesnt know but hes just bit the bait
He just asked if he could make a date
The senorita will be there waiting
Dont go my randolph slow tango with me

Letters From The Wasteland
Now coming down
Out of this swandive to your arms
I make no sounds
Wheni move thru your reservoirs
I wake up quick
I wake up sick
As you abandon me
Into these fields of rank and file
Thru this cloudi hear you breathing
Thru these barsi watch them bring more in
Nowi send back letters from the wasteland home
Last slowdance to this romance on my own
May take two to tango, but boy it takes one to let go
It just takes one to let go.
Now boy keep still
Dont spread yourself around
Get back in line
Eat your bread
And just work the ground
cause youre not through

It Takes Two To Tango
In an affair, it takes two to tango.
To elope to, it takes two to tango.
Woman is the target to soil her repute.
Man is the victim of people assault.

Liber tango
You move like rain
Like drops too cold
Still burning the skin
You’re the sound
Of my heart
Something too fragile
Under my shirt
Beating fading out
You move like days
Summit hidden years
Oblivion scattered
Down the street
You’re the craving of time
Locked behind my door
Something too close
To my walk through it
My feet at war my heart at peace

Queen of tango
I swap ten of my stories for one letter from you.
Letter and gingerbread heart with a mirror in it.
I want to do the tango, I'm tired of chess.
We can: Hidalgo, guitar and Argentina are close
for the souls that fly across the ocean.
Chess is better: a game in which the queen checkmates the king.
But the queen wants to dance, not play.
Make a move and dance, and I'm going to watch.
The queen goes to the dance floor with a pawn.
Here is my castle shooting at your pawn.
The pawn falls; the queen is going for a new one.
The king resigns: Do not go for a new pawn, we will do the tango.

Gothic Romance
Dream and dance, dream and dance
As tango through the turquoise tide.
Dream, dream, flying at the flower's glance
As tango through the turquoise tide,
Keeping bumblebees in trance.
Mountain brooks in sunshine glance,
Glance and trickle their path to hide.
Love me, sweetheart, stay with me in this Gothic romance.
Romance me and stay, romance me and stay.
Do you hear the whistle's wonderfully song?
Stay, stay, this night we may search the milky way.
Do you hear the whistle's wonderfully song?
Wonderfully weird whistling demand the light of the day.
So let the tears go and they will flow away
And stay with me, when love may be so strong.
Just stay with me, sweetheart, love me in this Gothic romance.

It Would Not Feel For Me Right
It would not feel for me right,
If I could live over...
My life.
Or show that I could be more polite,
Than those opposing that I chose,
What I do because it is liked.
And,
It would not feel for me right,
If I slept peacefully and deep at night.
When others around me knew hunger,
And I had not a problem with my appetite.
It would not feel for me right,
If I pretended to dislike flying kites.
Since if I had a bike I would try to fly a kite,
And not get entangled.
It would not feel for me right,
If I slept peacefully and deep at night...

Tango For Two
Tango for Two.
On internet I looked up dancing in Algarve, got ballet
dance and dance schools, those were out, lap dance
too which is even more embarrassing, a girl on your
lap jumping up and if you don’t get an erection due
to your knees hurting the girl will feel offended and
tell the audience that you are impotent; and it beats
me why she want to humiliate the poor punter who
has paid for this salacious make believe intercourse.
Maybe it has to do with pride, professional honour,
the woman may feel that she is a failure if she can’t
get her client exited; so why do I care? I just want to
go to a place and sway to the tango remember
a warm night in Buenos Aires 1945 after being stuck
on German u-boat for months knowing the war was
lost, and get some exercise too, is that too much to
ask a wintery Saturday night in Algarve.
