Sweeney Todd

Bryan Adams Sweeney Todd Lyrics
1.Tantalize

Lyrics:Gilder/Mcculloch
Music:Gilder/Mcculloch

From the east-side street, kick a tin can beat
Run through the jungle, a lion, a mongrel like you.
Such an easy mark for a hungry shark
Lost in the haze of the big city maze and its through

Tantalize you, mesmerize you
Trick you with a smile
Capture with the style
A touch of magic sure to make you sigh

Can you still be a sail with this ball and chain
Run through the jungle, a lecher, a scoundrel, its you
Keep yourself wide-eyed or theyll bleed you dry
Runnin thru shadows of streets broad and narrow with you

Tantalize you, mesmerize you
Start to lose control
The city takes its toll
Beaten once, twice, shy, beware the law

Do you see (do you see)
At nights (at nights)
Do you see (do you see)
At nights (at nights)


2.If Wishes Were Horses

Lyrics:Gilder
Music:Gilder

Come with me you can wish upon a star
You can do all the things that youve longed to
And you wont have to wonder who you are
You can be anybody you want to
In a land full of promises and kings
All your best laid dreams are for catchin
You can have the world to tie up on a string
Just close your eyes and imagine

If wishes were horses
Beggars would ride
All dreams and desires would ride along side
Worries and troubles would fall off behind
If wishes were horses, beggars would ride

To a land far or near come along
Theres an all new-round everyday glow
Like the young girl sang in the song
'Somewhere over the rainbow'


3.Until I Find You

Lyrics:Adams/Marr
Music:Adams/Marr

Im feelin tired, my thoughts are lost without you
But I wont quit, Ill go down with my ship
Until I find you

Good thoughts are like wine, I think Ill bottle and share them
Please take the time, to open your eyes and shine
Until I find you

They can say what they will
But I really believe
Yes I really believe
Ill catch you if I can
Ill catch you if I can
Ill catch you if I can

They can say what they will
But I really believe
Yes I really believe


4.Pushin' & Shovin'

Lyrics:Adams/Marr
Music:Adams/Marr

I could love her if she were a Rolls Royce
But she handles like a model - T
So get her in high gear, she cant stay here with me

At show time shell be in the front row
And shell try to put the make on me
Her friends will all laugh
While their instamatics flash
Will you see me all meanwhile
And shell push and shell shove and Ill smile

If you cast a glance in her direction
Shes sure to wrap herself around your knees
Shes always pushin and shovin at me

She cant control herself, it seems shes fallen off a shelf
And I can only say, Why me?§
And shell push and shell shove desperately

I could love her if she were a Rolls Royce
But she handles like a model - T
So get her in high gear, she cant stay here with me

If you cast a glance in her direction
Shes sure to wrap herself around your knees
Shes always pushin and shovin at me

Pushin and shovin
Pushin and shovin
Pushin and shovin me


5.No.5243605 Smith

Lyrics:Gaudin/Shear
Music:Gaudin/Shear

Stone cold cell
Raised from hell
Holdin me
For first degree
One more morn
For calm, for dawn
You shall see
Theyll come for me

I confessed
Ive been blessed
All I need is one last request

Ill only get up in the morning
Tearin down the songs
Hearing the radio
Blarin, darin, dancin vigorly down the hall
Well get in the do, I did it
Shoo-bee-doos and all
Give us the grass around to tumble down
That gobbles our way, rocknroll
I wanna get up in the morning
Tearin down the walls
Ive got to face my music
&Fore I face my lord

To think this is over
A crazy kind of show
Cant any of you tell me
Is there a better way to go?
Oh no!

5:15
Nows the time
Ill be fine
Heres my music one more time

Ill be here in the early morning
Tearin down the song
Knockin the radio
Blarin, darin, dancin vigorly down the hall
Ill get in the do, I did it§
Shoo-bee-doos and all
Watchin the grass around
A rollin round to good old passion rocknroll
Ill be here in the early morning
Tearin down these walls

The music played and I must say I really had a ball
And now I guess I gotta go and meet those odd people down the
hall

I dont wanna go this way
Though I know Ive gotta pay
Would it change things anyway
If I said Id like to stay?
What da ya say?


6.Song For A Star

Lyrics:Adams/Gaudin
Music:Adams/Gaudin

This is a song for a star
If you really are a star
Here is a song for you all
Take a lesson before you fall

Were caught in the middle of everything
Its like trying to figure out which bell to ring
You think youd made the start of it
But this is just the start of it now

Steppin in time with your pace
Tho weve never yet met face to face
This is a song for yourself
In the hopes that we dont do it wrong

Were caught in the middle of everything
Lookin and turnin out songs to sing
It couldve been the start of it
But this is just the start of it now

You can be a star if you can climb
Just make sure you are in the nick of time

This is a song for a star (song for a star)
This is a song for a star (song for a star)
This is a song for a star
If you really are a star
This to whoever you are
If you really are a star


7.Shut Up

Lyrics:Shear/Marr/Prest
Music:Shear/Marr/Prest

May it never be said shes knockin them dead
But is there a fame, its such a cryin shame what theyre
sayin
Its more than a game that theyre playin
At the start as we all should know
That shes some kind of sleaze, thats a social disease
Shut up, shut up

Dont tell me that my best friends a menace
She might wind up in a book written by Guinness
Its all right with me, if she wants to be
As loony as the day she was born
Shut up, shut up

Call her name in the air and shell soon be there
If you want her to be
Round me a bend and Im needin a friend she comes to me

The story book lies, theres stars in her eyes
Shes one of a kind and I sure am glad that I met her
I couldnt have found one much better
But theres something we all should know
Shes a kind of a gnu that belongs in a zoo
Shut up, shut up

Dont tell me that my best friends like Alice
Who might wind up in a looking-glass palace
Its all right with me, if she wants to be
As naughty as the day she was born
Shut up, shut up

Call her name in the air and shell soon be there
If you want her to be
Round me a bend and Im needin a friend she comes to me

Dont tell me that my best friends a menace
She might wind up in a book written by Guinness
Its all right with me, if she longs to be
As nutty as the day she was born
Shut up, shut up

Call her name in the air and shell soon be there
If you want her to be
Round me a bend and Im needin a friend she comes to me

Shut up, shut up


8.Wastin' Time

Lyrics:Shear/Prest
Music:Shear/Prest

Lazy day you got it all to tell
Rest your weary wings come and sit a spell
And talk to me for a little while
Wastin time, wastin time

Yesterday as a child at play
I didnt think so hard, took it all in my stride
Wastin time, wastin time

People rushin round, going nowhere fast
Talk about, oh first or last
Got one there, aint got no class
Wastin time, wastin time

Lazy day you got it all to tell
Rest your weary wings come and sit a spell
And talk to me for a little while
Wastin time, wastin time
Wastin time, wastin time
Wastin time, wastin time


9.Say Hello Say Goodbye

Lyrics:Berlin/Gaudin/Marr
Music:Berlin/Gaudin/Marr

The costumes, the scenery that make up the props
The audience that lifts you when youre down
The headaches, the heartaches, the packing, the flops
The sheriff who escorts you out of town

Theres no business like show business
Theres no business I know
Everything about it is appealing
Everything the traffic will allow
Knowing that you get that happy feeling
When youre taking that extra bow

Theres no business like show business
Theres no business I know
Everything about it is appealing
Everything the traffic will allow
Knowing that you get that happy feeling
When youre taking that extra bow

Say hello say goodbye
Good to see youre glad to rock and roll you
Say hello say goodbye

Youre the ones that really stole the show yeah
Split your spats as youre gone thru the band
Its good to move, to groove to you tonight
Tip your hat, to the boys in the band
Sorry but its time to end this show yeah


10.Roxy Roller

Moxy from the Roxy might turn some heads tonight
Flashlight dream, peaches and cream delight
Roxy Roller

Fab up job she's got bubble gum on her knees
Down between the seats sometimes she'll toss you her key
Roxy Roller

Daddy the commissioner took far more than his share
So Roxy join the syndicate knowing it wasn't fair
Roxy Roller
