rupert holmes - escape
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 sleepin' I read the paper in bed
And in the personal columns, there was this letter I read
If you like piña 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
Then 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 piña 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 and 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, "Aw, it's you."
Then we laughed for a moment and I said, "I never knew."
That you like piña coladas and gettin' 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 on the cape
You're the lady I've looked for, come with me and escape
If you like piña 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 on the cape
Then I'm the love that you've looked for, write to me and escape
Yes I like piña 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
rupert holmes - annabella
I just want to wake your heart
but you go to sleep
and you break my heart:
Annabella ...
where will you be,
who do you see,
when you dream at night?
Could it be the other guy
who had more than me
and was less than shy?
Annabella ...
You tease me all day
Please, may I say
that we're on tonight
In the morning
things are working out fine
Come the evening
you refuse to be mine
but you stay
and you say
That I hope to find some love
But each girl I find
will remind me of
Annabella ...
In the morning
you say "Wait til tonight"
Come the evening
you say "Now just ain't right":
No surprise ...
But I'm wise
I won't take another day
or another night
or another way
Annabella ...
REPEAT 6x, WITH FADE STARTING AT 4th REPEAT:
Annabella ...

rupert holmes - him
Over by the window
There's a pack of cigarettes
Not my brand you understand
Sometimes the girl forgets
She forgets to hide them
I know who left those smokes behind
She'll say, oh, he's just a friend
And I'll say, oh, I'm not blind to
Him, him, him, what's she gonna do about him
She's gonna have to do without him
It's him or it's me, me, me
No one gets to get it for free
It's me or it's him
Don't know what he looks like
Don't know who he is
Don't know why she thought that I
Would say what's mine is his
I dont want to own her
But I can't let her have it both ways
Three is one too many of us
She leaves with me or stays with
Him, him, him, what's she gonna do about him
She's gonna have to live without him
It's him or it's me, me, me
No one gets to get it for free
It's me or it's him
If she wants him she can have him
Just exactly how we once were
It's goodbye to he and I
Back to me and her
Without
Him, him, him, what's she gonna do about him
She's gonna have to do without him
Or do without me, me, me
No one gets to get it for free
Time for me to make the girl see
It's me or it's him, him, him
What's she gonna do about him
She's gonna have to do without him
Or do without me, me, me
No one gets to get it for free
Time for me to make the girl see
It's me or it's him
rupert holmes - singles
Singles,
you & I are singles
Strangers
trying to stay warm in the snow
Maybe
we will wake as strangers
or maybe we will find
we have somewhere to go.
Couples
all start out as singles
Lovers
like to walk alone now & then
Even
married folks act single
if they should feel the need
to find themselves again
REFRAIN x2: Singles,
all my loves were singles,
Like the dollar bills that slip away
before you even know
Music,
pourin' out on singles,
finds a home
on someone's stereo
And like a stack of singles
We'll survive as singles
Trying
hard to match one shoe with one glove
Lovers,
'cause we share the same dreams
Dreams of what the world
can't have too many of
Like singles
doubled up with love
rupert holmes - terminal
I've come back this mornin' to where I first
came alive
Here within this terminal where the buses
arrive
I was a commuter on the 804
Work for a computer on the 19th floor and...
You came down the aisle of the bus and you
sat by my side
Shoulder up to shoulder we shared that 9
o'clock ride
Oh, my heart was screamin' as you left your
seat
Followin' your movements I was at your feet
and...
Oh, down into the terminal both of us smiled
So we entered the terminal just as you smiled
"Won't you leave out work for today?" you
ask of me then
So I phoned-in-sick on the way to the home
of a friend
We were all alone from 10 A.M. till 3
Really thought the fire had gone out of me
but...
You awoke the sleep of my life from gray
into red
Made the weary wonder of Wall Street rise
from the dead
Could have held up budding my entire life
But I had to get home to the kids and the
wife and...
So I left for the terminal where I began
Baby, no, I wouldn't have left if I'd been
half a man
So here I am this morning where love had
asked for the dance
Here within this terminal where I passed on
a chance
Lord, I'll never find her though I've truly tried
Probably she's found another bus to ride and...
I am now about to begin the last of my days
I'm within what others would call a terminal
phase
I myself can only say it's livin' dead
Ridin' to the office with a song in my head
that goes...
La da da...
And you know it grows
La da da...
Oh, la da da...
Oh, la da da...
rupert holmes - the long way home
I haven't seen you for long on sundays
Ah you look so good today
You're that instant rush of breeze
That shakes the pinecombs from their trees
And blows the smoke of stain that quietly sinks away
This quiet town seems just they way we left it
When we left not long ago
Though we know each by heart
Lets take the massive lanes from start
And ease ourselves along the path we used to know
The long way home
The long way home
Let's walk the long way home
Long after dark we strolled the park
We're hand in hand we go past the shores
Where love is soon to grow
I'll take you back
The long way home
And so I love you like I loved this river
As if flows from then to there
Like that silent village pond
Like the rabbits far beyond
You are the answer to the unforgotten prayer
The long way home
The long way home
Let's walk the long way home
Long after dark we strolled the park
We're hand in hand we go past the shores
Where love is soon to grow
I'll take you back
The long way home
rupert holmes - the people that you never get to love
You're browsing through
A second hand bookstore
And you see her
In non-fiction
V through Y
She looks up
From World War Two
And then you catch
His catching you
Catching his eye
And you quickly turn away
Your wishful stare
And take a sudden interest
In your shoes
If you only had the courage
But you don't she turns
And leaves and you both lose
And you think about
The people
That you never get to love
It's not as if you even
Have the chance
So many worth
A second life
But rarely do you get
A second glance
Until fate cuts
In on your dance
And you'll see her on a train
That you've just missed
At a bus stop
Where your bus will never stop
Or in a passing Buick
When you've been pulled over
By a traffic cop
Or you'll share an elevator
Just you two
And you'll rise
In solemn silence
To your floor
Like the fool
You are you get off
And she leaves your life
Behind a closing door
And you think about
The people
That you never get to love
The poem you intended to begin
The saddest words
That anyone has ever said
Are "Lord what might have been"
But noone said you get to win
Still you're never gonna miss
What you don't know
And you don't know
Who you'll meet
At half past three
It could be a total stranger
Who looks something
Just exactly much like me
One of the people
That you never get to love
One of the people
That you never get to love
The people
That you nver get to love
