Escape - Lyrics - Rupert Holmes

Title: Escape
Artist: Rupert Holmes
Composer(s): Rupert Holmes

Lyric:
I was tired of my lady, we'd been together too long
Like a worn-out recording, of a favorite song
So while she lay there sleeping, I read the paper in bed
And in the personals column, there was this letter I read

"If you like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain
If you're not into yoga, if you have half-a-brain
If you like making love at midnight, in the dunes of the cape
I'm the lady you've looked for, write to me, and escape"

I didn't think about my lady, I know that sounds kind of mean
But me and my old lady, had fallen into the same old dull routine
So I wrote to the paper, took out a personal ad
And though I'm nobody's poet, I thought it wasn't half-bad

"Yes, I like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain
I'm not much into health food, I am into champagne
I've got to meet you by tomorrow noon, and cut through all this red tape
At a bar called O'Malley's, where we'll plan our escape"

So I waited with high hopes, then she walked in the place
I knew her smile in an instant, I knew the curve of her face
It was my own lovely lady, and she said, "Oh, it's you"
And we laughed for a moment, and I said, "I never knew"

"That you liked Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain
And the feel of the ocean, and the taste of champagne
If you like making love at midnight, in the dunes of the cape
You're the love that I've looked for, come with me, and escape"

"If you like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain
And the feel of the ocean, and the taste of champagne
If you like making love at midnight, in the dunes of the cape
You're the love that I've looked for, come with me, and escape"

Widescreen - Lyrics - Barbra Streisand

Title: Widescreen
Artist: Barbra Streisand
Composer(s): Rupert Holmes

Lyric:
There are songs that sound like movies
There are themes that fill the screen
There are lines I say that sound as if they?re written
There are looks I wear the theater should have seen

But though I?ve made my life a movie
The matinee must end by five
And I must stagger out into the blinding sunlight half alive
Wishing I were back inside the picture show

There where it?s always night
Notice how the screen is wide
The second role, I?ve said around too tight
Will I stay? Yes, I might

Oh, widescreen wider on my eyes
Lie my mind with lies
Find the world like nothing that I?ve seen
Oh, widescreen dreams are just my sighs

As we walk from out the movie
Are we acting out a scene
Does the orchestra play chords when we start loving?
Do we move just like slow motion on the screen?

Life?s a constant disappointment
When you live on celluloid
But my movie expectations are a dream
I can?t avoid

Waiting for a man to say the things
That I heard in the film last night
But he doesn?t want to play the role
And he can?t pick his cues up right

Will I dream? Yes, I might
Oh, widescreen winding 'round my eyes
Blinding me with lies
Finding I?ve been fooled by what I?ve seen

No, widescreen dreams are more than you
How can lies be true?
All we have is life and mind
And love we find with a friend

Oh, let the movie end

Letters That Cross In The Mail - Lyrics - Barbra Streisand

Title: Letters That Cross In The Mail
Artist: Barbra Streisand
Composer(s): Rupert Holmes

Lyric:
Last month while thinking of love
I wrote him some words and mailed them away
But the next day I found at my door a letter from Spain
He?d sent long before and his note read

I haven?t heard from you in weeks
I must assume
That you no longer care
Too bad that?s it, goodbye

It?s just amazing how loving can fail
From letters that cross in the mail

A life, a love, a chance to win it all
Can pass you by in the foreign scene
And you think you?ll find your fate tomorrow night
And he finds somebody else in between

I sat with swords in my heart
And pen in my hand I wrote
I?m glad that we?re through
Full of hate I mailed it

But then in a week a letter arrived
With love did it speak and his note read
I loved the tender words you sent
It seems I wronged you, please forgive me

I?ll return, I should leave soon
But God, I know now
That he?ll never sail
Our letters will cross in the mail

It?s just amazing how time brings a loss
And loving can fail like letters that cross in the mail

You Got It All - Lyrics - Jet

Title: You Got It All
Artist: Jet
Composer(s): Rupert Holmes

{AdsenseCode:2D080010-7055-443A-8D12-2B79DDC71256}

Lyric:
I, I was a game he would play
He brought the clouds to my day
Then like a ray of light
You came my way one night
Just one look and I knew

You would make everything clear
Make all the clouds disappear
Put all your fears to rest
Who do I love the best?
Don't you know, don't you know

You got it all over him
You got me over him
Honey it's true
There's just you
You must have been heaven sent
Hearing me call you went
Out on a limb
And you're all that he's not
Just look what I got
'Cause you got it all
Over him

No, don't let him worry you so
Once I met you I let go
Oh you can surely see
You're so much more to me
Just one look and I knew

You would make everything clear
Make all the clouds disappear
You're better than all the rest
Who do I love the best
Don't you know, don't you know

You got it all over him
You got me over him
Honey it's true
There's just you
You must have been heaven sent
Hearing me call you went
Out on a limb
And you're all that he's not
(All that he's not)
Just look what I got
(Look what I got)
'Cause you got it all
(You got it all)
All over him

(You got it all over him)
(You got me over him)
Honey it's true
There's just you
You must have been heaven sent
Hearing me call you went
Out on a limb
And you're all that he's not
(All that he's not)
Just look what I got
(Look what I got)
'Cause you got it all
(You got it all)
All over him

(You got it all over him)
(You got me over him)
Honey it's true
There's just you
You must have been heaven sent

Studio Musician - Lyrics - Barry Manilow

Title: Studio Musician
Artist: Barry Manilow
Composer(s): Rupert Holmes

Lyric:
I am a studio musician
We've never met
But you know me well

I am the English horn
Who plays the poignant counter line
Upon the song you heard
While making love in some hotel

I am a part of you
I've never tried for fame
You'll never know my name

I am the strings that enter softly
Or three guitars
That glitter gold

I am the thousand trumpet lines
That were an afterthought
Intended as a way
To get a dying record sold

I never ride the road
I never play around
I play what they set down

I'm a working musician
Living from week to week
I'm the voice through which empty men try to speak

A studio musician
Blowin' the chance I seek

And when the woodwind cushion rises
I start to dream
On a low brass bed

But I awake to horns
The drummer calls to me
We're up to letter D

I'm a man of the moment
Pop is my stock and trade
Singles, jingles, and demos
Conveniently made

A studio musician
Whose music will die unplayed
A studio musician
Whose music could have died unplayed

Queen Bee - Lyrics - Barbra Streisand

Title: Queen Bee
Artist: Barbra Streisand
Composer(s): Rupert Holmes

Lyric:
The black, black widow is sittin' in the middle of the web
It's the fly she seeks
You may be her lover but you never will recover, 'cause
She ain't had a bite for weeks

You think your the same, 'cause you got the same name
But the widow has a mobile home
Remember what I told you, she got eight arms to hold you
And she's never gonna let you roam

She'll tuck into bed and truck on your head, then she'll
Wrap you as a midnight snack
So if you see a spider, don't you sidle up beside her
Why'd you think the widow's wearin' black?

Queen bee, baby
Pray that you may be left on your own, uh huh
Nothin' she'll give you, gonna outlive you, uh, uh, uh
But the queen bee's never gonna be alone. Uh huh

Long before Atlantis there has been a praying mantis and
You knows why he's on his knees
He may have religion but he's just a sittin' pigeon if a
Woman even starts to tease

He won't even quibble if she has a little nibble on his neck
What a way to go
And now you done and torn it! You been messin' with a
Hornet, she's a blue-blooded wasp, you know

And just as you do it, she'll inject you with a fluid that you
Ain't even got but none
You're the meat on the plate, not even first rate, she's
Gonna feed you to her seventh son

Just like the Queen Bee, baby
Pray that you may be left on your own
Nothin' she'll give you, gonna outlive you, uh, uh, uh
But the queen bee's never gonna be alone. Uh huh. Uh huh

So, in conclusion, it's an optical illusion, if you think that
We're the weaker race
Men got the muscle, but the ladies got the hustle, and the
Truth is staring in your face

The mother bear stalks, and the queen of the hawks, is the
One who brings home the bread
The lion that is regal, and the bald headed eagle, need a
Woman just to keep them fed

But come the evenin', we're like Adam and his Eve, inside
The garden. Hear the serpent's sound?
It's so frustratin', when you're really into matin', and there
Ain't a lovin' man around

Whoever wrote this story
(It's so frustratin', when you're really
Into matin', and there ain't a lovin' man around)
Throw out the glory
(It's so frustratin', when you're really
Into matin', and there ain't a lovin' man around)
Bring in the men (give me them and I'll swing)
Write me a sequel
Give me an equal, oh, oh, oh
And I'll give that man
I said I'm give that lovin' man
I said I'm gonna give that lovin' man
I'm gonna give him that lovin' sting! Zap

Everything - Lyrics - Barbra Streisand

Title: Everything
Artist: Barbra Streisand
Composer(s): Rupert Holmes, Paul H. Williams

Lyric:
I want to learn what life is for
I don't want much, I just want more
Ask what I want and I will sing
I want everything, everything

I'd cure the cold and the traffic jam
If there were floods, I'd give a dam
I'd never sleep, I'd only sing
Let me do everything, everything

I'd like to plan a city, and play the cello
Play at Monte Carlo, play Othello
Move into the White House, paint it yellow
Speak Portuguese and Dutch

And if it's not too much
I'd like to have the perfect twin
One who'd go out as I came in
I've got to grab the big brass ring
So I'll have everything, everything

I'm like a child who's set free
At the fun fair
Every ride invites me
And it's unfair

Saying that I only
Get my one share
Doesn't seem just
I could live as I must

If they'd give me the time to turn a tide
Give me the truth if once I lied
Give me the man who's gonna bring

More of everything, more of everything
Then I'll have everything, then I'll have everything
Everything, everything

Yeah, she knows that I'm an artist, but that's regardless
Situation elevatin', I'm anticipatin'
Body got me mesmerized, I ain't tell no lies
You better tell those guys, you belong to me

Give her to me, I'll make her hotter than a fever
Talk to me ma, is it the palm trees
Blue water while we fallin' off our jet-skis

Back to the hood, we can get nice together now
Take the tobacco out the wood whatever
You know I'm number one, you bangin' like the drums
Listen to the ocean while we chill under the sun
As tastefully, basically it
I came to Miami just to see you shake your shh

To see a Senorita, with flowers in her hair

Tell the DJ play the record let the needle drop

Mami give me up, punani you can be on top now
Slow, your, roll is where we go
No one knows I'm gettin' dropped

My Father'S Song - Lyrics - Barbra Streisand

Title: My Father'S Song
Artist: Barbra Streisand
Composer(s): Rupert Holmes

Lyric:
?Whatever you are, you're going to be
Whatever you are is all right with me
You're going to be what you want anyway?
These are the words I heard my father say

When I was a young girl and shy of men
He said, ?When you're ready, you'll know just when?
And when I was taken and thrown away
There wasn't a reason to face the day

And he said, ?Whatever you are, you're going to be
Whatever you are is all right with me
You're going to be what you want anyway?
These are the words I heard my father say

My father's soul is clear and easy
And though he's gone, he lives in my heart
When I go wrong I swear he sees me
And he smiles for a start and he says

?Wherever you are, I'm here by your side
My life is a rope that won't come untied
Oh, I'm going to stand by you, right or wrong?
These are the words within my father's song

These are the words within my father's song

Escape - Lyrics - Jimmy Buffett

Title: Escape
Artist: Jimmy Buffett
Composer(s): Rupert Holmes

Lyric:
I was tired of my lady, we'd been together too long
Like a worn-out recording of a favorite song
So while she lay there sleeping, I read the paper in bed
And in the personals columns, there was this letter I read

"If you like Pina Coladas and getting caught in the rain
If you're not into yoga, if you have half-a-brain
If you like making love at midnight, in the dunes of the cape
I'm the love that you've looked for, write to me and escape"

I didn't think about my lady, I know that sounds kind of mean
But me and my old lady had fallen into the same old dull routine
So I wrote to the paper, took out a personal ad
And though I'm nobody's poet, I thought it wasn't half-bad

Yes, I like Pina Coladas and getting caught in the rain
I'm not much into health food, I am into champagne
I've got to meet you by tomorrow noon and cut through all this red tape
At a bar called O'Malley's where we'll plan our escape

So I waited with high hopes, then she walked in the place
I knew her smile in an instant, I knew the curve of her face
It was my own lovely lady and she said, "Oh, it's you"
And we laughed for a moment and I said, "I never knew

That you liked Pina Coladas and getting caught in the rain
And the feel of the ocean and the taste of champagne
If you like making love at midnight, in the dunes of the cape
You're the lady I've looked for, come with me and escape"

If you like Pina Coladas and getting caught in the rain
