Could not find this anywhere on the webs, so I scratched them out here. I know it is Jazz and not Synthpop at all. Background fodder.
Intro
-Spoken: Good evening ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the end of the world.
-I hope you’re all comfortable for this last evening’s performance of the Clerkenwell Kid
I’ll see you in my dreams (Isham Jones, 1924)
Though the days are long
Twilight sings a song
Of the happiness that used to be.
Soon my eyes will close
Soon Ill find repose
And in dreams you’re always near to me.
I’ll see you in my dreams.
Hold you in my dreams
Someone took you out of my arms
Still I feel the thrill of your charms.
Lips that once were mine
Tender eyes that shine
They will light my way tonight
I’ll see you in my dreams.
Lips that once were mine
Tender eyes that shine
They will light my way tonight
I’ll see you in my dreams.
They will light my way tonight
I’ll see you in my dreams.
-Spoken: Hello, so here we all are at the end of the world on Valentines eve.
Epitaph for a Dream
You were mine
You were mine
For all time, time, time
Found in the forest
Far from your home
Naked, abandoned, lost, alone
In the mirror of dreams
I had seen you timid
Stripped to the bone
Fur skin and feathered
I tamed you with tears
Trained you with violence
Cloaked you in blood
Changing in silence
Loved you right un-
to the end..
of.. (love?)
-Spoken: Thank you. I’ve been dreaming again.
Over the Hillsides
I kiss you and creep
Cross the floor
Through the door
And I’m gone
-Yodeling-
Through the trees where the meadow
We planted in spring has grown long
-Yodeling-
Saddle the steed
That’s tethered for me and I’m gone
You’re sleeping and dreaming
You’re reaping the seed you have sown
With kids and a house and bringing the harvest back home
And you’ll never guess
When you wake I’ll have left you alone.
– Yodeling-
I’ll go back into the stories you heard as a child
Back over the boundary where you found me running wild
And you’ll grow old
And wonder if I
Was a dream that you had once upon
A time
And you’ll grow old
And wonder if I
Was a dream that you had once upon
A time
-Spoken: Cheers. Ok, Ready?
Black Birdies Come
– Instrumental
-Spoken: Thank You. Here’s a song for the dark times ahead.
What it Takes
Have you got what it takes
To see me through these bad days
Have you got what it takes
To weather my wicked ways
Oh I
Hope I
Find that
You might
Have just what it takes
To bear me though your back breaks
Have you got what it takes
To hold on tight
Though your hand shakes
Oh I hope I find that you might
Oh I hope I find that you might
Have just what it takes
To see me through these bad days.
-Spoken: Ladies and Gentlemen, It’s my great pleasure to introduce our very own nightingale, your very own Miss Mara Carlisle.
-Spoken: Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen. There’s a bird flying high above the city. It looks down and on a station platform it sees two figures and a train about to leave.
Nightingales
A shade is dre fa
A whistle blows a train slows
You wave once more in dro again
Your lose yourself against
In twilight dreams it sweet regretfulness
And maybe you’ll forget what you’ve become.
With sad like nightingales
Or happy fits and childhood fairytales
Forever setting sail into a sun
Nightingales
Nightingales
-Spoken: Thanks Mara, Thank you.
Dreaming of you
-Spoken: So this is it ladies and gentlemen, this is the end. So yes; sweet dreams
I’ve been dreamin’ of you all the night through
And the summer sunshine found me still sleeping and dreamin’ of you
I’ve been dreamin’ of you lost in the blue
And I get the most peculiar feeling you’ve been dreaming too
You know I thought that I was falling
But I woke up just before I hit the ground
And found
I’ve been dreamin’ of you
My friends all gathered round me
Their lips moving in time
I felt that life surround me
As they were waving me goodbye
I’ve been dreamin’ of you
You know I get lost in the dreaming
I’ve been dreamin’ of you
You know I get the most peculiar feeling
That I’ve been dreamin’ of you
– Spoken: Thank you but we’re almost out of time ladies and Gentlemen It’s almost Valentines Day and who knows what surprises tomorrow might bring. Good Day.
Valentines
Well this is my Valentine to you
And I hope that it finds you out there in the blue
If you’ll be mine I’ll be your valentine
And though this ain’t just for a boy or a girl (though?)
This is a love letter to the world
Come rain or shine I’ll be your Valentine
Will you be my Valentine
Though war religion money sex death love may
One day prove the end of us
Well there’s still time shall we be valentines?
Then even if they don’t make it through
We’ll know that you once loved me and I loved you too
And the stars will shine on all those dead valentines
So will you be my valentine?
Well there’s still time you be my valentine?
-Spoken: Cheers
Outro
-Spoken: Ladies and gentlemen thank you, thank you. You have been a pleasure. And it just remains for me to say as this evening draws to a close, “Good luck and goodnight.”
