Here Lies Love lyrics - Fatboy Slim

When I was a young girl in Leyte

My dresses were all hand-me-downs and scraps

I'd see the people smile, when I would sing for them

How happy they all seemed, when I would dance

We lived a stone's throw from the palace

A simple country girl who had a dream

The ladies passing by, a better class than I

How much it meant to me to be like these

Is it a sin to love too much?

Is it a sin to care?

I do it all for you

How can it be unfair?

I know that when my number's up

When I am called by God above

Don't have my name inscribed into the stone

Just say:

Here lies love…here lies love…here lies love

Just say:

Here lies love…here lies love…here lies love

The most important things are love and beauty

It doesn't matter if you're rich or poor

To prosper and to fly, a basic human right

The feeling in your heart that you're secure

Is it a sin to love too much?

Is it a sin to care?

I do it all for you

How can it be unfair?

I know that when my number's up

When I am called by God above

Don't have my name inscribed into the stone

Just say:

Here lies love…here lies love…here lies love—

Just say:

Here lies love…here lies love…here lies love—

Every Drop Of Rain lyrics - Fatboy Slim

[Estrella:]

I was just a young girl

A girl with curly hair

Your mother called me family

I became quite close to her

I handled all the money

Washed the clothes and made the meals

In the night she'd wake up screaming

So you children slept with me

[Estrella & Imelda:]

They called us garage people

Where we lived there, you and me

When you're poor — it's like you're naked

And every drop of rain you feel

[Estrella:]

When it rained we slept on boxes

There was water all around

[Imelda:]

But the people in the big house

Never bothered to find out

No clothes, no bed, no jewelry

Sometimes I had no shoes

[Estrella:]

A typhoon came — the house collapsed

And the neighbors passed us food

[Estrella & Imelda:]

They called us garage people

Where we lived there, you and me

When you're poor — it's like you're naked

And every drop of rain you feel

Every little tiny drop of rain you feel — every drop of rain

Every little tiny drop of rain you feel — every drop of rain

[Estrella:]

I handled our finances

I myself was never paid

[Imelda:]

My teachers paid a visit

I felt, felt so ashamed

But I had kept my dignity

Some things cannot be killed

I smiled and kept my head up

A Romualdez I was still

[Estrella & Imelda:]

Every little tiny drop of rain you feel — every drop of rain

Every little tiny drop of rain you feel — every drop of rain

You'll Be Taken Care Of lyrics - Fatboy Slim

Precious little children — what can I do?

Someday they'll remember — what I told you

Did it together just you and me

Without a man in this family

I didn't raise them — it's you they love

They will remember the things you've done

Sometimes I felt that I've lost my mind

Things didn't work out the way we planned

And when they grow up and they make good

They will repay what I owe to

You'll be taken care of

And they'll remember you

Precious little children

On that you can be sure

You will never want for more

When they grow up they'll be kind and smart

And you will see that they'll all go far

I haven't long but I know it's true

These little ones owe a lot to

You'll be taken care of

And they'll remember you

Precious little children

On that you can be sure

You will never want for more

You'll be taken care of they'll remember you

Someday they will give you things I never could

You'll be taken care of on that you can be sure

If there's any justice in this world you'll never want for more

Someday I promise you

Remember what I say is true

Someday I promise you

Remember what I say is true

The Rose Of Tacloban lyrics - Fatboy Slim

I wrote inside my yearbook

"To try is to succeed

Fried chicken and the rumba

The colors pink and cream"

Ninoy was my first love

But he said I was too tall

A rich girl stole the sweetheart

Of the Rose of Tacloban

The heart grows slightly colder

Necessary to survive

And money makes it easy

In many people's lives

The sky above protects us

Don't know what I will become

Or what lies beyond tomorrow

For the Rose of Tacloban

Elegant women on a magazine page

Elegant women, like a paper parade

I don't go out dancing, I just stay at home

Cutting out their faces, and replacing them with my own

Cutting out their faces, and replacing them with my own

The sky above protects us

Don't know what I will become

Or what lies beyond tomorrow

For the Rose of Tacloban

What lies beyond tomorrow for the Rose—

Of Tacloban

How Are You? lyrics - Fatboy Slim

How are you? — I'm learning English

You're looking good — it's so hot today

We should keep in touch — oh, you'd better be going

It's a long long way — to your uncle's place

I got a job — it's just okay

And how's your dad? — it's hard to say

I miss you all — it's been so long

And who can say where love has gone?

And your life — is just beginning

And my life — is almost through

I've given up — never finished school

There was too much — too much work to do

How are you? Shall we get a soda?

You're looking good — it's so hot today

We should keep in touch — oh you'd better be going

It's a long long way — to your uncle's place

I was right there — right with your mother

And her last words — 'fore she passed away

Did they tell you — about the promise?

Should I ask you? Tell me what'd they say?

And there's no way that you could help me

And you're barely better off than I

You're a beauty — sing like an angel

We're together for both our lives

How are you? — well I'm okay

You're looking good — it's hot today

I miss you all — it's been so long

And who can tell, where love has gone?

Now I've really liked, this conversation

It was long ago — you were just a child

It's getting late — I must be going

Life is hard sometimes — but I'll be alright

How are you?

Oh, I'm okay

This is a nice place

It's so hot today

A Perfect Hand lyrics - Fatboy Slim

They occupied our country

We were almost overrun

I knew if I did not react

They'd kill us, ev'ryone

I promised to my mother

She meant so much to me

That for ev'ry single tear she shed

There'd be a victory

Who's holding aces?

And who's gonna fold and

Who's got a secret?

And who's feeling bold?

It's a winning combination

If a lady understands…that the

King and the Queen of Hearts

Could be a perfect hand

So know what you are holding

But be prepared to bluff

There are many ways to win a game

And skill is not enough

In the Senate or in business

But most of all in love

You ladies all know how things work

You know how to get things done

And if you open the door for a lady

You open a door for yourself

And a stranger's only someone

Who you have yet to help

Who's holding aces?

And who's gonna fold and

Who's got a secret?

And who's feeling bold?

It's a winning combination

If a lady understands…that the

King and the Queen of Hearts

Could be a perfect hand

Eleven Days lyrics - Fatboy Slim

He's so fast, tell me what's his name?

It was only a moment, but I don't feel the same

He gave me — two roses

He gave me — two roses

One is open

One is closed

One is the future

And—one is my love

Eleven days since the moment we met

Eleven days I will never forget

Eleven diamonds on the ring that he gave

I haven't seen him — in

Eleven days

Eleven days

Eleven days

Eleven days

What am I doin'? Must be out of my mind

He pulled out the paper and I signed on the line

He gave me — two roses

He gave me — two roses

One is open

One is closed

One is the future

And one is my love

Eleven days since the moment we met

Eleven days I will never forget

Eleven diamonds on the ring that he gave

I haven't seen him — in

Eleven days

Eleven days

Eleven days

Eleven days

When She Passed By lyrics - Fatboy Slim

I heard that you were getting married

I always knew that you'd do well

You're a legendary beauty

From our small provincial town

Ilocos joined to Leyte

Two important families

A glorious occasion

A foretold destiny

I followed in the morning papers

How exciting it has been

The courtship and the whirlwind romance

For the sweetest of beauty queens

He's crazy for you

Who wouldn't be, I'm sure

And nothing matters more than that

And you'll never be poor no more

How she looked when she passed by

How she looked when she passed by

I feel like I'm watching history

Living before my eyes

Many years from now

We'll recall just how

How she looked when she passed by

I know that you are in there somewhere

Letters get misplaced in the mail

Guess that there was some confusion

Amidst those throngs and swells

Did you see me outside?

Did you see me wave?

When you passed in your car

Ah well, that's okay

How she looked when she passed by

How she looked when she passed by

Feel like I'm watching history

Living before my eyes

Many years from now

We'll recall just how

How she looked when she passed by

Walk Like A Woman lyrics - Fatboy Slim

He taught me — how to do it

He taught me — lightly

He taught me — you'll get through it

He taught me — nightly

And to be married to such a man

I can't believe how lucky I am

I am so lucky — so lucky to be

Never poor no more — I have all that I need

I'm going to learn how to walk like a woman

I'm going to learn how to dress, how to dance

I'm going to learn how to make an impression

Do anything for the love of this man

And if he loved me on the day we met

Then why must I be someone else?

The girl he married — now is that still me?

Who am I now? I ask myself

See him look at someone else

I copy her hair and the way that she dress

I live to see him look at me

That's all I want, that's all that I need

I'm going to learn how to walk like a woman

I'm going to learn how to dress, how to dance

I'm going to learn how to make an impression

Do anything for the love of this man

Shouldn't he love me for the way I am?

And if he loves me, then why must I change?

Was that the reason that we fell in love?

Will he still love me if I'm not the same?

And if I bang my head on the wall for hours

Then I won't feel the confusion no more

The New York doctor — bright yellow pills he gave me

Remind yourself what you're doing it for

It's for love — it's for love — it's for love

It's for love — it's for love — it's for love

It's for love(in your head, there's nothing wrong with your heart)

I'm going to learn how to walk like a woman

I'm going to learn how to dress, how to dance

I'm going to learn how to go out in public

Do anything for the love of my man

It's for love — it's for love — it's for love

It's for love — it's for love — it's for love

It's for love (in your head, there's nothing wrong with your heart)

Don't You Agree? lyrics - Fatboy Slim

With my heart and with my skin

From town to town and back again

With my skin and with my soul

How each one smiles when he's alone

And here we are convention center

Traveled so far crossed many rivers

No time to rest no time to sleep

Keep movin' on my tired feet

Sometimes we need a hero

Can't make it on our own

Sometimes you need a strongman

When things are out of control

Don't you agree? Agree with me

Don't you agree? Don't you agree?

Don't you agree? Agree with me

Don't you agree? Don't you agree?

Who needs a chair? Whose roof has leaks?

Their children's names, what each one needs

Got my people ev'rywhere

The bellboys and the operators

Now, who stood up to the Japanese?

Who cares about the Philippines?

He'll build a house I'll decorate

I'm telling all you delegates

Don't you agree? Agree with me

Don't you agree? Don't you agree?

Don't you agree? Agree with me

Don't you agree? Don't you agree?

Sometimes we need a hero

Can't make it on our own

Sometimes you need a strongman

When things are out of control

Pretty Face lyrics - Fatboy Slim

Will you reach into your pockets?

And show us that you care

For the orphans, and the farmers

Ev'ryone give their share

I feel so guilty, when I'm resting

Though I rise at early dawn

For ev'ry hour that passes

I could have helped someone

And we'll show the world

What a country girl can change

And we'll show the whole wide world

That we have a pretty face

Pretty face, pretty face, pretty face have we

Pretty face, pretty face, pretty face have we

A thousand miles of concrete

Schools and dams and parks

Two thousand day care centers

And a center for the arts

There will always be poor people

Got to teach them how to care

If a hospital is needed

Ev'ry business give its share

And we'll show the world

What a country girl can change

And we'll show the whole wide world

That we have a pretty face

Pretty face, pretty face, pretty face have we

Pretty face, pretty face, pretty face have we

Some would call me Robin Hood

But this work we do I know is good

So dig a little deeper now

We're gonna turn this thing around

Pretty face, pretty face, pretty face have we

Pretty face, pretty face, pretty face have we

Ladies In Blue lyrics - Fatboy Slim

I have a life

It is good, you might say

My husband is best

When he works, when he plays

The maids clean the house

They take care of the kids

But I know that somehow

There is much more than this

And we—we ladies in blue

The ripples spread out

From the stones that you threw

We—we ladies in blue

Concentric circles

From the ladies in blue

Some people might say

But I don't need to think twice

I could be like some others

And be content with my life

But she never sleeps

Never seems to need rest

How does she do it?

And still look her best?

We—we ladies in blue

Ripples spread out

From the stones that you threw

We—we ladies in blue

Wider and wider

From the ladies in blue

Ladies in blue, ladies in blue, ladies in blue

Concentric circles

From the ladies in blue

Ladies in blue, ladies in blue, ladies in blue

Wider and wider

From the stones that you threw

The world isn't perfect

And it never may be

But ev'ry little bit helps

Some from you, some from me

Ladies in blue, ladies in blue, ladies in blue

Concentric circles

From the ladies in blue

Ladies in blue, ladies in blue, ladies in blue

Wider and wider

From the stones that you threw

Dancing Together lyrics - Fatboy Slim

Went to the house of Mary Lasker

Saw Matisses, Picassos, Renoirs and Gauguins

Golf course and flowers, statues and stables

I met a Whitney, Rockefeller and Brown!

And they were dancin', dancing together

Dancin', oh so beautifully

Dancin', dancing together

Dancin', oh as if in a dream

Charles Jourdan, Oleg Cassini

There was Andy Warhol and Hanae Mori

Beautiful products all over the table

Fills my heart up with thoughts of my people

And they were dancin', dancing together...

I love my little people

You don't know what it's like

I'd rather be back in my Leyte

Back in the Quonset hut

Ali Hassan, Margot Fonteyn

Christina Onassis and the Queen of Spain

Beautiful women in beautiful homes

Just out of reach if your skin's colored brown

And they'll be dancin', dancing together...

"Hello Mr. Zeibel? Yes, my name is Jane Ryan—Mr.

Saunders and I would like to make a deposit…"

Mm-hmm, now listen:

Breakfast with George, disco with George

It must be us who truly serve!

Men Will Do Anything lyrics - Fatboy Slim

You play around with that woman

Didn't you know I cared?

Walking 'round, ev'ryone can see

A sleazy cheap affair

What's the matter with me baby?

Am I not good enough for you?

If you prefer that slut—okay

I'll tell you what we'll do

Men will do anything

For a little piece of mind

Men will do anything

That's how you keep them in line

Men will do anything

For some sweet tranquility

Men will do anything

And there's nothing you can do to me

Do anything that you want them to

If you leave them on their own

They'll sign here on the dotted line

If you ignore what they have done

Like a poor little mangy puppy

With his tail between his legs

If you catch them fooling around

Outside the mosquito net

Men will do anything

For a little piece of mind

Men will do anything

That's how you keep them in line

Men will do anything

For some sweet tranquility

Men they'll do anything

And there's nothing you can do to me

The Whole Man lyrics - Fatboy Slim

We're talking about the whole man

In body in mind and in spirit

And you, give the body, what is good, good, good, good

You make him educated

What makes a home?

The answer is love

What is love when it's real?

The answer is beauty

We're talking about the whole man

When he's whole we see him smile

But take just one part away from the rest

And now he's a—a crocodile

What makes a home?

The answer is love

What is love when it's real?

The answer is beauty

Beauty through time

Culture and spirit

At home where he lives

He's up when he's in it

The heart and the home

Wherever he lives

He's up when he's down

He takes when he gives

How do the children draw a tree?

Zero and one are you following me?

Human order woman and man

So on and on are you seeing the plan?

Going in circles chasing the dollar

Like a Pac-Man—a vicious creature!

Here, over here, the center is mankind

But I'll never be a teacher!

What makes a home?

The answer is love

What is love when it's real?

The answer is beauty

Beauty through time

Culture and spirit

At home where he lives

He's up when he's in it

The heart and the home

Wherever he lives

He's up when he's down

He takes when he gives - he's a:

Cos-mos man

A cross to a flower!

Switch! Recycle

Ecological order

Cos-mos man

A cross to a flower!

Switch! Recycle

Ecological order

Never So Big lyrics - Fatboy Slim

People ask me if I knew you

I tell them, “It's true”

You were just a simple schoolgirl

When I took care of you

One is never so big

As when one stoops down

To help someone in need

Get their feet on the ground

I gave up ev'rything

To give you both a start

And in my time of need

Could you open your heart?

Don't make me beg—don't turn away

She always said you'd help someday

Can I get a message through to you?

Are you the girl that I once knew?

What was I thinking of?

What am I doing here?

What was I thinking of?

What am I doing here?

Woo hoo woo hoo woo hoo

Woo hoo woo hoo woo hoo

It's your old hometown

There's the park and the tree

And the house where we lived

At the end of the street

It's a crazy idea

Could I get through to you?

It won't take very long

Just a minute or two

Never so big—never so tall

Never so big—when you are small

Never so big—never so tall

Never so big—when you are small

You never know, where love is found

God only knows, where we are bound

Woo hoo, woo hoo, woo hoo

Woo hoo, woo hoo, woo hoo

Woo hoo, woo hoo, woo hoo

Woo hoo, woo hoo, woo hoo

Please Don't lyrics - Fatboy Slim

The world is full of intolerance

Greed, injustice and dominance

A woman, a woman knows, knows relationships

That's why, why I make, make my little trips

So if there's a problem

It's really better this way

I don't need the President

I'll get my little bag and say

Please don't

(Oh, no)

Don't let them look down on us

Please don't

(Ooh)

Like they used to do to me

Nixon, Castro, Zhou Enlai

Oh, Qaddafi is easy and I'll tell you why

A woman knows just how to do, only rub his leg

He understood my point of view so I don't have to beg

So if there's a problem

It's really better this way

I don't need the President

I'll get my little bag and say

Please don't, please don't

(Ohh)

Don't let them look down on us

Please don't, please don't

Like they used to do to me

Ronald Reagan, Mao Zedong, they're all the same

Kissinger, Anwar Sadat, let me explain

Talk a bit, a little dance, champagne on ice

An hour or two relationship, we're friends for life

So if there's a problem

It's really better this way

Well, I don't need the President

I'll get my little bag and say

Please don't

Don't let them look down on us

Please don't

(Please don't)

Like they used to do to me

Please don't

(Please, please don't)

Don't let them look down on us

Please don't

(Oh, no)

Like they used to do to me

American Troglodyte lyrics - Fatboy Slim

I could be a dancer, maybe

I could be a judge

Used to sing that karaoke

But I, I don't do it much

Democracy in action

There is nothin' up my sleeve

A watermelon postcard I am

Plantin' all my seeds

Americans are wearin' those sexy jeans

Americans are usin' technology

Americans are surfin' that Internet

Americans are listenin' to 50 Cent

Americans are buyin' that modern art

Americans are drivin' gigantic cars

Americans are doin' that exercise

Americans are livin' like troglodytes

Ev'rybody knows me

They are drinkin' to my health

I terrorized my fam'ly and I

Terrorized myself

Evangelized my bedroom—you can

Ride away with me

All the girls together in a

Mighty symphony

Americans are playin' that basketball

Americans are doin' that rock and roll

Americans are goin' to outer space

Americans are buyin' that real estate

Americans are livin' the simple life

Americans are dancin' on Friday nights

Americans are goin' to Broadway shows

Americans believe in the Holy Ghost

Americans are wearin' that lingerie

Americans are throwin' that shit away

Americans are watchin' reality

Americans are goin' from A to Z

Americans are dancin' in discothèques

Americans are payin' their income tax

Americans are workin' from 9 to 5

Americans are livin' like troglodytes

Solano Avenue lyrics - Fatboy Slim

What did I do to make you mad?

I swear I only told the truth

And none of this could hurt you now

And it's no insult to be poor

So take back all your money

Although I need it more than you

Just acknowledge that you knew me

On Solano Avenu, oohh

I didn't mean you any harm

I didn't mean to bring you shame

It's not a sin that we had nothing

You and I were not to blame

When they teased you on the street

When they hurt you deep inside

To me it was that you came running

And I held you when you cried

So take back all your money

Although I need it more than you

Just acknowledge that you knew me

On Solano Avenue, oohh
