Tropical Brainstorm

She awakes when the sun has found her face
And she reaches for the tin where she keeps important things
A cigarette, a magic bean, a page torn from a magazine
And a letter that he sent full of promises and dreams
Of how he walked across the jungle
Across the desert to the bright shiny city by the sea

She's not waiting anymore
Não esperando seu amor
(she's not waiting for her love)
Now the sun is up the spell is broken
She's not waiting anymore
Não esperando seu amor
(she's not waiting for her love)
Now the sun is up the dream has flown away

Another day, now his words have worn away
And his face, well she can't quite remember
And she sighs with remorse, all her dreams are flying north
Where they wear fancy clothes, painted nails and long blonde hair
And where they fly across the jungle
Across the desert to the bright shiny city by the sea

She's not waiting anymore
Não esperando seu amor
(she's not waiting for her love)
Now the sun is up the spell is broken
She's not waiting anymore
Não esperando seu amor
(she's not waiting for her love)
Now the sun is up the dream has flown away

See her fly across the jungle
Across the desert to the bright shiny city by the sea

She's not waiting anymore
Não esperando seu amor
(she's not waiting for her love)
Now the sun is up the spell is broken
She's not waiting anymore
Não esperando seu amor
(she's not waiting for her love)
Now the sun is up the dream has flown away

I close my eyes, another dream arrives
Deeper and deeper into the sweet water
Filling my senses with happiness and joy
Happiness and joy

Alegria

Happiness and joy

I'm an autumn girl, flying over london
With the trees on fire it looks like home
I'm an autumn girl on the endless search for summer
Cause i need some love to cook my frozen bones
You needed something to get your teeth into
And in my voodoo kitchen you said
"i've got something to show you,
It's a recipe handed down from father to son
For a thousand years, and it goes with those hot salt tears."

I'm an autumn girl, crying over london
With a heart on fire but no-one home
I'm an autumn girl on the endless search for summer
Cause i need some love to heat my frozen bones

Get me on the boil and reduce me
To a simmering wreck with a slow kiss
To the back of my neck
Carve up my heart on a very low flame
Separate my feelings then pour them down the drain
Close my eyes and sweeten me with lies
Pierce my skin with a few well chosen words
Now you can stuff me with whatever you've got handy
And on a cold grey day a cold grey man will do

I'm an autumn girl, flying over london
With the trees on fire it looks like home
I'm an autumn girl on the endless search for summer
Cause i need some love to heat my frozen bones

So give me something to whet my appetite
And chill my soul with a sudden lack of interest
Oh, but the winter freezes on and the candle's burned low
Fill me with the hot stuff then say you've got to go
Take my mind, marinade it in red wine
Grate my thighs with your chinny chin chin
And i will let you in
Oh on a long dark night a long dark man might ...

I'm stalking a fan
He lives in a high rise block
And here i am
He shouldn't have turned my rock
He's brushing his teeth
He doesn't look bad from this far
I'm hailing a cab
And i'm gonna follow his car
Wherever he goes
I won't be too far behind
Just hanging around
Driving him out of his mind
Treachery made a monster out of me
Treachery made a monster out of me

I'm stalking a fan
He used to write all the time
How lovely i am
He really made me feel fine
But how they forget
He needed a wake-up call
And he will regret
Having been so shallow
He made me believe
That i was some kind of myth
So here i am
How could he treat me like this?

Treachery made a monster out of me
Treachery made a monster out of me
Treachery made a monster out of me
Treachery made a monster out of me

Wherever he goes
I won't be too far behind
Just hanging around
Driving him out of his mind
I'm stalking a fan
He's gone to the record store
To buy a cd
By some other girl not me
He's taking her home
Getting her out of her box
And putting her on
And dancing around in his socks

Treachery made a monster out of me
Treachery made a monster out of me
Treachery made a monster out of me
Treachery made a monster out of me

Getting her out of her box
Treachery
And dancing around in his socks
Treachery
Treachery
And dancing around in his socks
Treachery
Driving him out of his mind

Oh she is hot, she's hot, she's hot
She's just a wild and wicked slut
And she lives inside my head and stops me sleeping
And when i think she's finally gone
Some guy arrives and turns her on
Then she parties until dawn
This can't go on
Celestine
Get out my dreams
You're killing me so slowly

So many men, so many fights
So many parties and late nights
She plumbs the depths and hits the heights
That celestine
She pretends that she can't hear me
She pretends she's nowhere near me
She just goes quiet and pretends that she's not in
But celestine i know you're there
In your exotic underwear
And you are fixing up your hair now, celestine

Celestine
Get out my dreams
You're killing me so slowly

My lover looked into my eyes
And i could tell by his surprise
It was not me he saw in there but celestine
And now it's her that he lusts after
I can hear that wicked laughter
Still he comes to me but i know where he's been

Celestine
Get out my dreams
You're killing me so slowly

Celestine
Get out my dreams
You're killing me so slowly

My lover hasn't got a clue
He doesn't know that he's untrue
And it's not me he makes love to but celestine
Oh yes she's hot, she's hot, she's hot
I guess she's everything i'm not
And she lives inside my head and stops me sleeping

Every friday night she rides the whole way over town
Just to see some stupid boy who never turns around
He never sees the girl whose dreams have told her he's the one
Still she gets excited whenever friday comes
There is no reason in love's sweet plan
It's deeper than the sea
Things happen, we fall in love
It just comes naturally

Anyone who saw her in the street would never know
The passion of the feeling she never puts on show
We can not choose the ones with whom we think that we belong
Just when you're not looking someone comes along

There is no reason in love's sweet plan
It's deeper than the sea
Things happen, we fall in love
It just comes naturally

There she stands, clothes around her feet
Choosing what to wear so she can just stand in his street
"please, oh please, this time i'll make him mine"
She begs of her reflection in her dressing table shrine

Oh, there is no reason in love's sweet plan
It's deeper than the sea
Things happen, we fall in love
It just comes naturally

Here in the country we dance and we play
And we pray to our saints and we make love all day
I fell in love with a real city boy
Who's afraid of his nature, afraid of his joy
I punched him out and brought him to this hut
But i know he'll thank me when he wakes up
We got trees, we got snakes, we got acres of sky
His life in the city was making him cry

Come on, come on darling, be brave for a while
You don't look afraid when you laugh and you smile
I'll be good, i'll be strong
I'll be just what you needed all along

Here in the country we dance and we play
And we pray to our saints and we make love all day
I fell in love with a real city boy
Who's afraid of his nature, afraid of his joy

Us amazonians know where we stand
We got kids, we got jobs, why do we need a man?
Us amazonians make out alright
But we want something to hold in the forest at night

Come on, come on darling, be brave for a while
You don't look afraid when you laugh and you smile
Breathe in deep, stick with me
You'll still be free as you let yourself be

If you're certain, if you're true
I'll be the only country girl for you
I'll be good, i'll be strong
I'll be just what you needed all along

Here in the country we dance and we play
And we pray to our saints and we make love all day
I fell in love with a real city boy
Gotta teach him about nature, and teach him about joy

Us amazonians know where we stand
We got kids, we got jobs, why do we need a man?
Us amazonians make out alright
But we want something to hold in the forest at night

Here's my boyfriend, he's small, he is blue
He is cold, he is rough, he's appalling that's true
But he's got the power, he's got the fire
To be just like us is his only desire

He'll learn to hunt and i'll teach him to fish
We'll boil up our rice in a satellite dish
We'll plant cassava wherever we can
Us amazonians always get our man

Us amazonians know where we stand
We got kids, we got jobs, why do we need a man?
Us amazonians make out alright
But we want something to hold in the forest at night

I know an island where the people are kind
And the rest of the world seems far away
Maybe it's only in the back of my mind
But i know when i go that's where i'll stay

I know a land where they live for today
'cause tomorrow is too far away
Maybe one day you will go there with me
And we'll dance underneath the ceiba tree

Love is the key to the dance, you can move in a trance when the music sets you free
Don't be afraid of the rhythm it's made to give life to the way you want to be

Si, yo te quiero como quiero agua pura
(yes, i want you like i want pure water)
Si, yo te quiero como mueves la cintura
(yes, i want you, how you move your waist)
