Weird Nightmare
(Charles Mingus)
Weird nightmare
You haunt my every dream
Weird nightmare
Tell me what's your scheme?
Can it be that you're a part
Of a lonely broken heart?
Weird nightmare
Why must you torment me?
Weird nightmare
Pain and misery
In a heart that's loved and lost
Take away the grief you've caused
Can't sleep at night
Twist, turn in fright
With the fear that I'll live it all again
In my dreams
You're there to haunt me
When you say she doesn't want me
I've been hurt
Do you know what that means?
Weird nightmare
Take away this dream you've born
Weird nightmare
Mend a heart that's torn
That has paid the price of love
A thousand fold
Bring me a love
With a heart of gold
Weird nightmare
Shamed Into Love
(Elvis Costello/Ruben Blades)
I fear, my dear
We've forgotten the things strangers do
If we could look back
To the terrible thrill that we knew
Am I imagining a world without you?
Must we be shamed into love?
What can I say?
Will you pardon my stupid embrace?
Sometimes I'm desperate
While you're wiping the smile from your face
Am I surrendering, or am I replaced?
Must we be shamed into love?
Shamed into love
You're once a fool for having it
Twice a fool for letting it go
Somewhere my love there's a feeling deep inside of me
That I can't let go
Oh you'll never know
But then my darling
I've forbidden myself to confess
I've looked around now
But I always return to your face
In a world where everything
I once cursed, I bless
It must be you who shamed me into love
Must we be shamed into love?
Gigi
(Alan J. Lerner/Frederic Lowe)
Gigi
Am I a fool without a mind?
Or have I nearly been too blind to realize
Oh Gigi
While you've been growing up before my eyes
Gigi
You're not at all that funny awkard little girl I knew
No, overnight there's been a breathless change in you
Oh Gigi
While you were trembling on the brink
Was I out yonder somewhere blinking at a star?
Oh Gigi
Have I been standing up too close or back too far?
When did your sparkle turn to fire?
And your warmth become desire
Oh what miracle has made you the way you are?
When did your warmth become desire?
And your sparkle turn to fire?
Oh what miracle has made you the way you are?
Oh Gigi
Deep Dead Blue
(Words: Elvis Costello, Music: Bill Frisell)
Deep dead blue
That I invite
Bringing on disguise of night
Turn the whole Kaleidoscope
Deep dead blue
Deep dead blue that nightly shades
Most unlikely escapades
As the lights that frighten fade
Till the dawn drags into view
I'm lost in deep dead blue
Deep dead blue
I'd rather stay
Far from the cruel coloured day
Leave me in my monochrome
Till I find a finer hue
Beyond the deep dead blue
