Oh, now it has been so long since we’ve gotten to play
I wonder if we could be reunited today
Because I’ve missed the brown, red, orange, yellow, and grey, And, surely, it’s due time...
When we are together at last
I know the days will grow so cold so fast
Because they sure fly by when you’re having a blast! Autumn is a friend of mine.
The glow of trees with fiery leaves is a sight I thrill to see They whisper secrets in the evening breeze
Of tragedies and glories - I love those kinds of stories!
Then at midnight will shine every star and when again it’s time for us to part We won’t say goodbye, just “au revoir!” ‘Cause Autumn is a friend of mine
The squash, the gourds, the pumpkin hordes, hot toddies and parades,
The moonlight stroll sweet Fall affords - everything is better in this kinda weather!
And then I’ll make a wish on every star and when again it’s time for us to part We won’t say goodbye, just “au revoir!” ‘Cause Autumn is a friend of mine Autumn is a friend of mine, Autumn is a friend of mine!

Shine On, Harvest Moon
03:26
|
|||

The night was mighty dark so you could hardly see, for the moon refused to shine Couple sitting underneath a willow tree- for love they did pine.
Little maid was kinda ‘fraid of darkness, so she said, “I guess I’ll go,”
Boy began to sigh, looked up at the sky, and told the moon his little tale of woe
Oh shine on, shine on harvest moon, up in the sky
I ain’t had no lovin’ since April, February, June, or July. Snow time ain’t no time to stay outdoors and spoon;
So shine on, shine on harvest moon - for me and my gal.
I can’t see why a boy should sigh when by his side is the girl he loves so true.
All he has to say is: “Won’t you be my bride? for I love you.”
I can’t see why I’m telling you this secret, when I know that you can guess- Harvest moon will smile, shine on all the while, if the little girl should answer “yes.”
Oh shine on, shine on harvest moon, up in the sky
I ain’t had no lovin’ since January, February, June, or July. Snow time, ain’t no time to stay outdoors and spoon;
So shine on, shine on harvest moon - for me and my gal.

The House is Haunted
03:44
|

The house is haunted by the echo of your last goodbye The house is haunted by memories that refuse to die
I can't get away from a vision that brings intimate glimpses of intimate things A voice in my heart like a torch singer sings: I wonder who's kissing you now
The house is haunted by the echo of your favorite song
The place is cluttered up with memories that have lived too long, much too long The ceilings are white, but the shadows are black,
a ghost in my heart says you'll never come back!
The house is haunted by the echo of your last goodbye
I can't get away from a vision that brings intimate glimpses of intimate things A voice in my heart like a torch singer sings: I wonder who's kissing you now
The house is haunted by the echo of your favorite song
The place is cluttered up with memories that have lived too long, much too long The ceilings are white, but the shadows are black,
a ghost in my heart says you'll never come back!
The house is haunted by the echo of your last goodbye

I Love Your Bones
02:13

I’ve heard it said the angels blessed my heart and let me sing
But I have a dark and dismal secret my darling
My voice and I were not the gift of my mother’s Christmas wish
The devil cursed me with it in exchange for a kiss upon my lips
So if you wanna be my lover, you should know you’ve got a foe
Not one you wanna fuck with so maybe you should let me go
Really, I like you too, but I already gave my soul - well, maybe more like “sold”
You could hold my hand but it would be quite cold
Honeydew, I would gladly follow you until the earth were through
But as it is now the only ones that would make it out would be me and my old man, Lu
So let’s just wait and see ‘cause one can never know
How these things go and if you love me I won’t mind if you tell me so
Really, no place on or off this earth could suit me half as well
Than my lovin’ evil sugar-daddy’s fires of Hell
Without a doubt, I want to shout out loud
It’s about you I truly care
But at the rate I’m goin, honey-bear
I’m only bound to meet you shortly there
I love your bones, I wouldn’t want him to swallow ‘em whole
So keep it under control
And if the fire fizzles out I swear you’ll be the first to know
Right now I’m his but maybe someday my heart will again be mine
And then I could give it to you but for now
I could be someone worser’s concubine
I know you’re puttin’ your heart out on the line
But I’d like to keep you alive
Even if mine’s not all mine your love keeps me satisfied

I wouldn’t change places with anyone tonight
We’ll carve pumpkin faces and watch the witches’ flight
Every human heart will shudder, Every soul will shake with fear
Tonight, the creepiest... Tonight, the scariest... Tonight, the most wonderful night of the year!
Anything can happen on Halloween. Your dog could turn into a cat
There may be a toad in your bass guitar, o your sister could turn into a bat
Christmas time brings the snow summertime brings the sun
But on Halloween your blood begins to run... Something spooky’s goin’ down now...
Anything can happen on Halloween, it’s better than a video Gremlins gonna mess up every cassette from London to Idaho
April 1st can be fun, New Year’s Eve is a ball
But on Halloween your flesh begins to crawl! Oh I’m losin’ control
Anything can happen on Halloween, your toenails grow long and your hair turns green Your teacher could become a sardine, Your dentist could turn into a queen
Has anybody seen my tambourine? The band starts to play “Begin the Beguine” The craziest night you’ve ever seen
This hairy, scary, creepy, crawly, Hall...ow...een!

Here’s a thrilling invitation that I cannot pretend
Will not provoke excitation (and I am obliged to extend):
There’s a secret damnèd dance-hall, a party like you’ve never seen
To which your presence is requested, and anyone can tell you that it’s quite a scream!
Among its guests all you will see are the burdened and the cursed, It thrives off its exclusivity - only the best of the worst!
Best to not overthink it, your end could meet you any day
Come get your laughs, kicks, and tricks etern’lly at the shadowside soirée!
If you’ve longed for love and luxury, then here’s a game that you can win, Follow me to where all are lucky, and all it’ll cost ya is your soul to get in
Any deed you’ve ever deemed unfit to do’s fair game Shuffle off that mortal coil of despair, and loss, and shame!
Best to not overthink it, your end could meet you any day
Come get your laughs, kicks, and tricks etern’lly at the shadowside soirée!

Sally's Song
02:00

I sense there's something in the wind
I think it's not to be
Try as I may, it doesn't last
That feels like tragedy's at hand
And though I'd like to stand by him
Can't shake this feeling that I have
The worst is just around the bend
And does he notice my feelings for him?
And will he see how much he means to me?
What will become of my dear friend?
Where will his actions lead us then?
Although I'd like to join the crowd
In their enthusiastic cloud
And will we ever end up together?
No, I think not, it's never to become
For I am not the one

Halloween
02:43

Bonfires burning bright, Pumpkin faces in the night
I remember Halloween
Dead cats hanging from poles, Little dead are out in droves
I remember Halloween
Brown leafed vertigo, where skeletal life is known
I remember Halloween
This day anything goes, Burning bodies hanging from poles
I remember Halloween
Halloween, Halloween, Halloween, Halloween
Candy apples and razor blades, Little dead are soon in graves
I remember Halloween
This day anything goes, Burning bodies hanging from poles
I remember Halloween
Halloween, Halloween, Halloween, Halloween Halloween, Halloween, Halloween, Halloween

To Keep My Love Alive
03:01
|
|||
|
I've been married, and married, and often I've sighed: "I'm never a bridesmaid, I'm always a bride"
I never divorced them, I hadn't the heart - yet remembered these sweet words: "'till death do us part!"
I married many men, a ton of them, because I was untrue to none of them
Because I bumped off every one of them to keep my love alive
Sir Paul was frail, he looked a wreck to me, at night he was a horse's neck to me
So I performed an appendectomy to keep my love alive
Sir Thomas had insomnia, he couldn't sleep at night
I bought a little arsenic, he's sleeping now all right
Sir Philip played the harp, I cussed the thing, I crowned him with his harp to bust the thing
And now he plays where harps are just the thing to keep my love alive
To keep my love alive
I thought Sir George had possibilities, but his flirtations made me ill at ease
And when I'm ill at ease, I kill at ease to keep my love alive
Sir Charles came from a sanatorium, and yelled for drinks in my emporium
I mixed one drink, he's in memoriam - to keep my love alive
Sir Francis was a singing bird, a nightingale, that's why
I tossed him off my balcony, to see if he, could fly
Sir Athelsane indulged in fratricide, he killed his dad and that was patricide
One night I stabbed him by my mattress-side to keep my love alive
To keep my love alive

Ghost of a Chance
02:45

I need your love so badly, I love you oh, so madly,
but I don’t stand a ghost of a chance with you
I thought at last. I’d found you, but other arms surround you and I don’t stand a ghost of a chance with you
if you’d surrender just for a tender kiss or two
you might discover that I’m the lover meant for you, and I’d be true
but what’s the use in scheming? I know I must be dreaming, for I don’t stand a ghost of a chance with you.

Remember Me

Recuérdame, hoy me tengo que ir mi amor Recuérdame, no llores por favor
Te llevo en mi corazón y cerca me tendrás A solas yo te cantaré, soñando en regresar Recuérdame, aunque tenga que emigrar Recuérdame, si mi guitarra oyes llorar
Ella con su triste canto te acompañará Hasta que en mis brazos estés, recuérdame
Remember me though I have to say goodbye Remember me, don't let it make you cry
For ever if I'm far away, I hold you in my heart
I sing a secret song to you each night we are apart Remember me, though I have to travel far Remember me, each time you hear a sad guitar Know that I'm with you, the only way that I can be Until you're in my arms again
Remember me
