The Friends Of Mr Cairo - Vangelis
She came as in the book Mickey Spillane
That Saturday night dark masquerade
Had filled his friend with lead
The same sweetheart but then
As nothing happens quite the same
Investigation is the game
He had to check her story right away he dead
Sam Space his buddy Archer first to go he got it
She spelt it out how could they know
The 'Fatman' got it he dead
Her sister didn't really live at all
Confusion he dead
His chase led to the Fatman
To face the friends of Mr Cairo
That night the double crosser got it right
Pretending he was really dim
He slipped to Sam a double gin
Mickey Finn
He woke the boys had gone but not his gun
They'd left a note to lead him on
The chase to find the Maltese Falcon you bet
Early thirties gangster movies
Set to spellbind population
From Chicago to Hong Kong
Via Istanbul the Talking Tong
Dirty rats through prohibition
Money flowed through gangsterism
Acting out his fantasy in Hollywood's vicinity
The best part for the best rendition
Al Capone he sent to prison
Citizen Kane came fast and quickly conquerin'
Ol' New York City
Poking fun at superstition media became television
Give me Cagney any day or Jimmy Stewart for President
Or Edward 'G' and all those guys
Who always shoot between the eyes
Between the eyes between the eyes
Father love do you work
Do you work for Mother
Chances could call and except that be no other
Science as it might
Disappear correspond with color
Chance is the fruit will outlive
What is now the brother
Call for total wealth to distribute like a picture
In black and white give it joy give it
Let it hit you
Spoil our existence by extreme gift to population
Father love do you work
Do you work for Mother
Tell me straight
Be the Godfather be no other
Media Kings give us
Now give us total movie
Now being here being now
Being here believing
One on one to talk to you
Like film stars they get close to you
You've mirrored his appeal
He wants you so
He wants to be beside you
Then you pass by giving
Him the other side of you
Like the mystics do
So that every time he moves
He moves for you
Soul and light can always see
The melting of true love and she
This silent night and I
I guess a lonely mind might see
I've seen love on the screen
I've seen a screen goddesses and me-oh
How often this how often
This the power of you
And so I must confess whatever I see
I'm meant to be there with you
With you
Silent golden movies talkies
Technicolor long ago
My younger ways stand clearer
Clearer than my footprints
Stardom greats I've followed closely
Closer than the nearest heartbeat
Longer that expected there were great
Oh love oh love just to see them
Acting on the silver screen oh my
Clark Gable Fairbanks
Maureen O'Sullivan
Fantasy would fill my life
And I love fantasy so much
Did you see in the morning light
I really talked yes I did
To Gods early dawning light
And I was privileged to be as I am to this day
To be with you to be with you
To be with you to be with you
To be with you
