Caro Emerald - The Shocking Miss Emerald (2013)
01. Miss Emerald: Intro
Instrumental
02. One Day
I feel a little lazy
I gotta make a plan
To live in a hotel
Is heaven and it's hell
I don't know where I stand
My life is but a rumor
They're flying in the press
I'm dating every man
Why can't they understand
My life is not a mess
Even if the words are all untrue
I'll say to them, forever
What is overdue
Don't wait
'Cause when I fall in love
You will see the moon and every star
Declare it from above
One day
The world will feel a spark
Feel it in the day and in the dark
The day it's really love
For now I'm in a prison
That I put up myself
When papers start a fire
They're started by a liar
Who's cryin' out for help
I'll walk out in the lobby
Pout in a photograph
It's one day in the life
But it cuts like a knife
Nobody gets a laugh
Even if the words are all untrue
I'll say to them, forever
What is overdue
Don't wait
'Cause when I fall in love
You will see the moon and every star
Declare it from above
One day
The world will feel a spark
Feel it in the day and in the dark
The day it's really love
When I'm blue
Or feeling sad
I'm immune to anything they do
Don't wait
'Cause when I fall in love
You will see the moon and every star
Declare it from above
One day
The world will feel a spark
Feel it in the day and in the dark
The day it's really love
03. Coming Back As A Man
I live on the edge
But something has me really turning red
Yea I said it
I'm unsatisfied
With all the Romeos and their goodbyes
Their see ya laters incomplete their lies
That's why I sigh
It's not just me I talk about
Our age is on the way
All the money in the women's world will never make him change
Gonna grab the yellow pages
Find Da Vinci of the threads
To dress me up and make me look like someone else instead
It's time for my rehearsal, the ultimate reversal
You see, I've got it planned
I'm coming back as a man
I'm gonna wear blue
And find a pair of flat black leather shoes
But shine more than a diamond mine could do
And add something new
Like wear a cologne
That says you are the man I'm gonna own
And whispers baby, will you take me home?
Ba ba va va va voom
I drop a hint and then my keys
And then I cast a net
To catch someone who's in for such a night he won't forget
Gonna grab the yellow pages
Find Da Vinci of the threads
To dress me up and make me look like someone else instead
It's time for my rehearsal, the ultimate reversal
You see, I've got it planned
I'm coming back as a man
I'll hide behind the Errol Flynn moustache
Remove that false impression to make sure the feeling lasts
Call me the equalizer for the girls
And tell me baby, tell me where it hurts
Gonna grab the yellow pages
Find Da Vinci of the threads
To dress me up and make me look like someone else instead
It's time for my rehearsal, the ultimate reversal
You see, I've got it planned
I'm coming back as a man
04. Tangled Up
I took the perfect avenue, down the road to both of you
Did I go dutch?
This is too much!
With all the money in the world
You could never buy this girl
Quite enough, it will be tough
If romancing me with neons is something you should do
May the letters write in luminous, in-lou
And get me wicked up
Shake it up
Tangled up
You could be breaking up, making up
Tangled up
Making it from my love
This is a mess,
Is this a test?
How many guesses do I get?
Till only one of you is left
I want to see emotions coloring the sky
To the point it will make me wanna cry
And get me wicked up
Shake it up
Tangled up
You could be breaking up, making up
Tangled up
Making it from my love
Tangled up
Treating girls like a yo-yo is a no no of monumental kind
If playing with your string had lanced to be your thing
And get me wicked up
Shake it up
Tangled up
You could be breaking up, making up
Tangled W
Making it from my love
Tangled up
Tangled up
Tangled up
05. Completely
I recall the days that I was single
Used to flirt, fool around and mingle
And you came along
And suddenly it changed completely
Now some girls fall
And others keep on playing
Forget the now and keep on yesterdayin
You came along, I changed completely
Darling do you know, the sky performs a show
Each and every night before I sleep
When I look up at the stars in the galaxy near and far
I look at you and I sure see a genius
You filled up my heart
And I know that I changed completely
Darling do you know, the sky performs a show
Each and every night before I sleep
When I look up at the stars in the galaxy near and far
I still feel protected
And you came along,
Your feel got my heart
And I know that I changed completely
06. Black Valentine
Who needs a captain on a love ship?
Someone with no clue of the destination due bow
Who needs a diamond on a hand of stone?
A trophy because you slipped
You might be tough, you might even be strong
They make lovers blind when they cover every inch of their lies
A smoke and some wine is the life of the Black Valentine
Who needs a journey on a runaway train?
When heart beats overwork
Who needs redemption from a guiltless crime?
Someone caries dreams from scene to scene
Til they tear apart your mind
They make lovers blind when they cover every inch of their lies
A smoke and some wine is the life of the Black Valentine
This is their demand for another night they spend in self-conversation
To repeat the situation
They lie in a loop
They make lovers blind when they cover every inch of their lies
A smoke and some wine is the life of the Black Valentine
07. Pack Up The Louie
Time just flies
Hearin stories and 1000 lies
Gotta get it, gotta do it fast
Gotta grab a piece of paper, I wish I could find my pen
What am I taking you? What am I waited for?
I gotta pack, gotta pack up the Louie
Gotta pack, gotta pack up the Louie
For every different change of mind
I got a pocket for every reason
Every season be another day
I gotta pack, gotta pack up the Louie
I love my louie when I go away
Louie, louie, louie, pack up the louie
Louie, louie, louie, pack up the louie
Louie, louie, louie, pack up the louie
Louie, louie, louie, pack up the louie
Louie, louie, louie, pack up the louie
First stop is gonna be Buenos Aires
Tango listener all night long
Kind of running from morning til dawn
Do Havana down the emerald way
But before I get on the line
Some gotta go, some gotta stay
So I brought a piece of paper, tear it out of my cahier
I gotta pack, gotta pack up the Louie
Gotta pack, gotta pack up the Louie
For every different change of mind
I got a pocket for every reason
Every season be another day
I gotta pack, gotta pack up the Louie
I love my louie when I go away
All aboard, Buenos Aired, Rio de Janeiro, Havana and the Emerald way
I gotta get to Pier 19
Pier 19 on the west side
Is there a Porter somewhere?
For a lady in despair
Can you help little me
Get this fabulous trunk in the air
I gotta pack, gotta pack up the Louie
Gotta pack, gotta pack up the Louie
For every different change of mind
I got a pocket for every reason
Every season be another day
I gotta pack, gotta pack up the Louie
I love my louie when I go away
Louie, louie, louie, pack up the louie
Louie, louie, louie, pack up the louie
Louie, louie, louie, pack up the louie
Louie, louie, louie, pack up the louie
08. I Belong To You
Under the stars the shines one light
That always glistens, always listens to the whispers of the night
When skies are black, full of despair
I asked the sun to tell the moon that two of us are there
Is when I see your smile
And in your eyes, true love assigns
Forever is a word that cries
That I belong to you
That endless nights are far away
And I love you
Could never never never
And I run into
We overlooked as ocean deep
The suns comes up, there is no heat
So let it burn, it takes its turn
One we never would allow
There is no heart that chance will break
Nothing else could ever stop us now
That endless nights are far away
And I love you
Could never never never
And I run into
I belong to you
Is when I see your smile
And in your eyes, true love assigns
Forever is a word that cries
That I belong to you
That endless nights are far away
And I love you
Could never never never
And I run into
I belong to you
09. The Maestro
Presence, elegance, an unmistakable dominance
Behind those steely eyes
Anything you know is coincidence
No one seems to know anything about his age, just his name
Uh, the Kaiser is the maestro
Let a girl dream a bit
To wear a garment so delish
The slightest designs, the ultimate can't miss
Ladies, his designs make the words fall out of a pantomime
Colors, how they flow, go from avant-garde to beyond sublime
History and mystery, he stops the hands of time
The magic's in his mind
Let a girl dream a bit
To wear a garment so delish
The slightest designs, the ultimate can't miss
Uh he is a maestro
He is a maestro
10. Liquid Lunch
Baby pass the aspirin, something's gotta work
I know I did it to myself but man oh man it hurts
That second last Martini, the one that went down real smooth
Set me on the bender with nothing left to lose
I just can't apologize
For what I did to myself
My bed's an ocean liner
And I can't call for help
Yeah baby, it hurts a bunch
The girl's got going and we had a munch
I promise on a dime it's the last time
I'll never have a liquid lunch
I think I've got the symptoms and none of them will leave
They think that it's a party to laugh at all my grieve
It must've been a doozy, I had 200 dreams
At least I found my pillow 'cause I can't find my keys
It's hard to remember
All of the events
But I must've faded out
'Cause all that's left is 50 cents
Yeah baby, it hurts a bunch
The girl's got going and we had a munch
I promise on a dime it's the last time
I'll never have a liquid lunch
Maybe I can call the pharmacy
They'll bring something up, something up too sweet
Some exotic medicine to cure my every ill
With some kind of magic pill
I just can't apologize
For what I did to myself
My bed's an ocean liner
And I can't call for help
Yeah baby, it hurts a bunch
The girl's got going and we had a munch
I promise on a dime it's the last time
I'll never have a liquid lunch
11. Excuse My French
I don't know what you must be on
You walked in like the Aga Khan
Did you fly in on a jet?
Win a million dollar bet?
So let me get my good shoes on
I wanna follow in the same old steps
Where you waltz around like you're the best
Where you garden blooms in May
But it snowing every day
'Cause you have everything you want
You must be
The Houdini in my life
But you can't see
I could never be your wife
'Cause I'm still a lady
No, I'm not some wench
That falls for your lines
I'm not on the fence
Your routine is fading, boy
I could use a wretch
I know my words won't fail me
Please excuse my French
(Pardonnez-moi)
Today you think you're Erol Flynn
Sharing stories where you think you've been
Your style must be cramped, without a passport stamp
Can't you see the twister that you're in
Why drown inside a sea of words?
You're going under, now you won't get hurt
So just give it a rest, this time your more is less
You're going solo in this dream
But you must be
The Houdini in my life
But you can't see
I could never be your wife
'Cause I'm still a lady
No, I'm not some wench
That falls for your lines
I'm not on the fence
Your routine is fading, boy
I could use a wretch
I know my words won't fail me
Please excuse my French
(Pardonnez-moi)
12. Paris
I live deep in symmetry
In my anonymity
In this room of disconnect
All I need are mannequins and me
Fabric straight from arm to arm
Rescuing my heart from harm
All that I can see speaks of finesse
Radically my fashion dreams,
Costumed men and models scream
Fame is nothing more than force duress
Let them comment of my cold behaviour
Where I am
I will stand alone
I do want for much
These two hands
Never will they mourn
Before you want too much
Travelling I do forget
Every single last regret
Solitarily there is one quest
To my cause I will devote
All my passion, note for note
To create and fill this emptiness
Freedom that lies underneath
Let it fall and let them breathe
Bodies are not meant to be so bound
Let the socialites in her hands
When they speak their words of my demeanor
I will let them fuel, wipe their fire
Where I am
I will stand alone
I do want for much
These two hands
Never will they mourn
Before you want too much
Fading as I live in isolation
Information spreads that I have left
For them let it be an education
Those who cherish me will not let them forget
Where I am
I will stand alone
I do want for much
These two hands
Never will they mourn
Before you want too much
13. My 2 Cents
Those big blue eyes are hard to reach
So impossible, it makes you me
Like a guitar that cries for days
Seduces you in a thousand ways
It makes any girl we can out of sight
There is no evidence
He creates an illusion that leads to confusion
And you give up your common sense
Too cold to touch but not much to feel
His silent smile he shares with you
Into thin air he disappears
Gives one last look and frozen leaf
Your heart for sure is good as gone
There is no evidence
He creates an illusion that leads to confusion
And you give up your common sense
All the coins dissipate when there are no fingerprints
A one man casino
If you spin the wheel you lose
There is no evidence
He creates an illusion that leads to confusion
And you give up your common sense
14. The Wonderful In You
A dane when you look in the mirror
Your reflection is a ruse
Your heart refuses to tell you the truth
Surrenders every element of you
And you abuse it
So someone you love, you really love
May never seen the wonderful in you
Games, you never seem too tired
Oh his games
The make-up starts to drift, this is insane
Another masquerade, where is the shame?
Please forget his name
Hands are tickin on the clock
Too tired for a walk
Your heart is desperately trying to find you
Surrenders every element of you
And you abuse it
So someone you love, you really love
May never seen the wonderful in you
Surrenders every element of you
And you abuse it
So someone you love, you really love
May never seen the wonderful in you
15. Tell Me How Long
He kinda looks a little ordinary
A little work and I think that I could easily change his mind
Give him a wing, romantic play
I start to break him down
Tell me how long until you say you love me
Call me morning, noon or night
I make it rain or shine
I really like the differences you bring when you arrive
But when you say you miss her
You really mean missing me
Tell me how long until you say you love me
Call me morning, noon or night
I make it rain or shine
A one night affair could last longer if you dare
Just me over here
And you over there
So hey be good and tell me are you scared
Well you keep looking at me over there
Tell me how long until you say you love me
Call me morning, noon or night
I make it rain or shine
16. No Charge
It's raining in Chicago
And I know I'm late
I get into a taxi
It's way past eight
He turned around and looked
at me with big blue eyes
Then he said good evening,
I said "my oh my"
Good thing he didn't hear me
Underneath my breath
The words came out so quickly
They coulda used a net
He drove me in his Packard
And picked up the speed
Smilin' like I'm falling
At the foot of his feet
He said "here we are"
Put his hand and waved
to simply say "No charge"
No charge
Tell me baby, what does that mean? (No charge)
In an era where the coin is lean (No charge)
Are you loaded?
Are you some kinda dream?
Whadaya mean no charge?
Another dinner party
And the crowd's a bore
I've been there twenty minutes
Oh, I need to snore
But there was no escaping
I'm pre-occupied
My chariot awaiting
Valentino inside
The rain was fallin'
As I walked outside
Then in twenty seconds I heard
"Need a ride?"
Tell me baby, what does that mean? (No charge)
In era where the coin is lean (No charge)
Are you loaded?
Are you some kinda dream?
Whadaya mean no charge?
17. The Bullet
Whisper to me
Let the air inside you
Be your lesson
Start with a word
You know will make
The ultimate impression
Words lie between
The feelings we
Can now no longer say
Forget
The repartee
I'll take the bullet
But not the blame
Did you expect
I'd never know her name
I feel her blood
Course through my veins
I'll take the bullet
But not the blame
Elevate your
Sense of pride
And face me at your leisure
To hear you
Hesitate and plea
Gives me a sense of pleasure
You're made of glass
It's final scene
Is pure transparency
This end
Was meant for me
I'll take the bullet
But not the blame
Did you expect
I'd never know her name
I feel her blood
Course through my veins
I'll take the bullet
But not the blame
