Akio Dobashi And Annie Haslam Fox

It's awfully bad luck on diana
Her ponies have swallowed their bits
She fished down their throats with a spanner
And frightened them all into fits

So now she's attempting to borrow
Do lend her some bits mummy do
I'll lend her my own for tomorrow
But today i'll be wanting them too

Just look at prunella on guzzle
The wizardest pony on earth
Why doesn't she slacken his muzzle
And tighten the breech in his girth

I say mummy there's mrs. geyser
And doesn't she look pretty sick
I bet it's because mona lisa
Was hit on the hock with a brick

Miss blewitt says monica threw it
But monica says it was joan
And joan's very thick with miss blewitt
So monica's sulking alone

And margaret failed in her paces
Her withers got tied in a noose
So her coronets caught in the traces
And now all her fetlocks are loose

Oh it's me now i'm terribly nervous
I wonder if smudges will shy
She's practically certain to swerve us
Her pelham is over one eye

Oh wasn't it naughty of smudges
Oh mummy i'm sick with disgust
She threw me in front of the judges
And my silly old collarbone's bust

Did you see him there by the willows bending?
The moon's white shots fell like rain from on high
The love from his eyes floated, rivers unending
Into the sands where the spring of our hearts had run dry

Did you see him there and hear his soft calling?
The love sweet song rising from bottomless pain
The lord of our woes, on his wide shoulders falling
He bears in his mercy to break hatred's reign

Did you see him there in the ages of song?
His truth too simple for man to endure
I long to die for him there and i could not
And the dawns treat the sky with rose and azure

Did you see him there?
Did you see him there?
Did you see him there?
Did you see him there? ... there

First we take one step forward then we move back back two
In this time of selfless giving just think what we can do
Every day they wait for something not knowing what will be
Every night they lay back dreamin' of things we can not see--and

So the story goes
So the story goes

Take the time to give this christmas, show them all you care
Here we stand hands joined together, we have this gift to share
We'll sing a song for all the people livin' in the streets
We'll give them hope to carry on now and dreams they'll always keep--oh

So the story goes
So the story goes

Think about your christimas tidings, think of those with less
Give them all you've got to give to make this year the best
Now everybody make a circle and dance 'til you fall down
Bring them joy and love and laughter, the spirit has been found--yeah

So the story goes ... make them smile like christmas time
So the story goes ... make them smile like christmas time, christmas time
So the story goes ... make them smile like christmas time
So the story goes ... make them smile like christmas time, christmas time
So the story goes ...

Maybe he'll touch me, maybe he won't
Maybe he's just turning over
Feeling the words drying up in my throat
Maybe he's sleeping, maybe he's not
Maybe i whisper i love you
Maybe the whisper is all that i've got

Could this be heaven, could this be hell
Lying asleep with a stranger
The stranger's the man that i once knew so well
Lying in darkness, lying so still
Why do we lie to each other?
Pretending the things will work out until ...

Chorus:

Communication lets us down
It just went over and out
Communication gets us down
It just went over and over and over and ...

Once there was loving, then there was love
Two people wrapped in each other
Now separate shadows on the ceiling - no more
Then there was screaming, yelling and fights - over and over and over
Now the silence in this silent night .... aaawh

Chorus

Now won't you listen please
Oh, don't pretend that you're asleep
It seems like such an empty bed
It's over, it's over, it's over, it's over ...

Communication lets us down
It just went over and out
Communication gets us down
It just went over and out


Repeat chorus twice

Communication

It's too bad, we just made it past the start
It's too bad, you stole away my heart
I won't sleep right till i've got you by my side
I'll live and breathe you, the hunger won't subside

Chorus:

Oh, you don't know a good thing till it's gone
Oh no, you don't know a good thing

I can't stand not knowing how you feel
I can't stand not knowing if it's real
I don't believe it, is love ever fair
I just can't leave it hanging in the air

Repeat chorus twice

You fill an empty space, you're under my skin
I just can't walk away from this state i'm in
When darkeness comes to me, i'll see your face
I'll feel you next to me and no one can take your place

I won't sleep right till i've got you by my side
(she wants) i want, (she needs) i need
The hunger won't subside

Repeat chorus twice
