I Am Kloot - To You

The gods and the saints preserve you,
Cos nobody here deserves you,
I’m living my life in flashback,
Since I lost my card or cashback,
And I’ve gone to wrack and ruin,
Since I don’t know what you’re doing,
There’s no clear or present danger
That I see in any stranger.

Someone, somewhere said to me,
Will someone somewhere set me free,
Wont hurry up or harry me,
Will someone somewhere marry me
To you, to you, to you, to you.

The line on the screen has broken,
What once was asleep has woken,
I cover your face in make-up praying
You’ll one day wake up,
I’ve littered my life with magic,
Yet I’m neither dead nor tragic,
The gods and the saints preserve you
Cos nobody here deserves you.

Someone, somewhere said to me,
Will someone somewhere set me free,
From all that I’m supposed to be,
Will someone somewhere marry me
To you, to you, to you, to you.

Someone, somewhere said to me,
Wont someone somewhere marry me
Wont hurry up or harry me,
Will someone somewhere marry me
To you, to you, to you, to you

I Am Kloot - Morning Rain

Unscrew your face from your laptop screen
See the people, the places in your magazines
They’re a big headed bunch, you know what I mean
Someone made them out of plasticine.

I’m the morning rain, it’s me again, I won’t go away
I’m the morning rain, it’s me again, I won’t go away.

Come down off your barbed wire fence
What you’re saying sounds stupid, it makes no sense
It may be used later in your defence
It may be used later as evidence for the

Morning rain, it’s me agian, I won’t go away
I’ the morning rain, it’s me again, I won’t go away.

Undo your head from the sink plug chain
Unscrew the cheap wine and drink like a drain
You may never want to waltz again
You may never want to walk away from

The morning rain, it’s me again, I won’t go away
I’m the morning rain, it’s me again, I won’t go away.

Pack your bags your room’s for let
They’re putting up the barricades
And laying off all bets
I’ve never seen so many people smoke
So many cigarettes
Pack your bags now your room’s for rent

I’m the morning rain, it’s me again, I won’t go away
I’m the morning rain, it’s me again, I won’t go away
I’m the morning rain, don’t you know my name,
Don’t you know my name
I’m the morning rain, don’t you know my name?

I Am Kloot - Bigger Wheels

Healers, dealer, skinflick traders, save my skin for
Later or else you won’t get free,
Your dim and dismal, loves gone rotten, grim and
Greedy and best forgotten, yet still you say to me

There are bigger wheels than this, wider skies of blue.

Hookers, lookers, pink skinned babies here’s a list
Of maybes I have saved for you
Your mad, appalling love and laughter,
Stuck here for ever after
Swimming all around you

There are bigger wheels than this, wider skies of blue.
There are bigger deals, there are bigger wheels
Than you get through.

Healers, dealer, skinflick traders, save my skin for
Later or else you won’t get free,
Your dim and dismal, loves gone rotten, grim and
Greedy and best forgotten, and yet still you say to me

There are bigger wheels than this, wider skies of blue.
There are bigger deals, there are bigger wheels
Than you get through.

Hookers, lookers, pink skinned babies here’s a list
Of maybes I have saved for you

I Am Kloot - No Fear Of Falling

Through my sleepless days I’ve found
That in my dreamless sleep I’m bound
To one night hear the sound of your calling
Do not stumble through tonight, have no fear of falling.

And if nobody got lost and if no-one pays the cost
The price of this you may surmise is ever after
You won’t stumble through tonight drowning
In their laughter
You won’t stumble through tonight drowning

I Am Kloot - Storn Warning

Hell for leather, lathered, drunk, you’re soused,
You’re pissed, you’re sunk,
The juke box now is drunk, just along the way,.
I had a call last
Saturday to say I’d thrown
My friends away, reversed the charges
On them all,
I made a lot of calls.

Is there a storm coming or are we just another shower,
Is this a storm warning,
Has someone just cut the power, is there a storm coming
Or are we just another shower,
Is there a storm coming, coming, coming.

I would have kept you free from harm rang the bells or
Raised alarms, I would have kept
Them all at bay except I thought I heard you say,
You’re the leper boy you can’t come in
The moneky god is now you’re king, you’re out,
You’re in, you’re out,
You’re in, you’re out,
You’re in, you’re out.

Is there a storm coming or are we just another shower,
Is this a storm warning,
Has someone just cut the power, is there a storm coming
Or are we just another shower,
Is there a storm coming, coming, coming

I Am Kloot - Dark Star

A dark star follows me tonight
Filled with horror and delight

She’s come to make another son
A brother for the other one, who’s gone

The black storm on the pillow there,
Is the colour of her hair
Held by some strange gravity are my dark star and me.

A dark star follows you tonight, you’re filled
With horror and delight
You’ve come to make another son,
A brother for the other one
I hold a picture of your face, in my memory in embrace
With you I find I can’t replace
My dark star

I Am Kloot - Stop

You think you’re lovely, I know that you’re wrong.
God made me ugly, so don’t string me along.
Give me the good stuff, I’ll leave you the rest,
Send me the good stuff and I’ll put you to the test,
I’m going to

Stop messing around, cos what have you found
On the dirty ground.

You think I’m stupid and I know that you’re right,
Or else why would I lie here in this big hollow night.
Did god make it easy, so easy on you,
Were you sent here to please me, well it won’t
Ge tyou through, cos I’m going to

Stop messing around, cos what have I found
On the dirty ground.
You’re going to stop messing around, cos what
have you found on the dirty ground.
Are we going to stop, are we going to stop,
Are we going to stop?

I Am Kloot - Sunlight Hits The Snow

Are your hand sunsteady, ready to be free
Are you almost ready, to sit next to me

If I go to where the sunlight hits the snow
Cos everyone knows that we’re bored with letting go

Is your head unready, ready to believe
Do you feel unsteady, sit next to me

Should I go to where the sunlight hits the snow
Cos everyone knows that we’re bored with letting go.

Cos everyone knows that when the sunlight hits the snow
We shall go, I just get bored with letting you know

I Am Kloot - Twist

Twisted on destiny, fate and three wishes
We fuck and we fight, someone else does the dishes,
And meantime my memory reminisces and twists,
There was a time when we were filled with laughter,
Haplessly hoping happy ever after,
Did we string up a heart, let it swing from the rafters
And bleed.

There’s blood on your legs ,I love you
There’s blood on your legs, I love you
There’s blood on your legs, I love you

Evoke the rich tapestry of love and devotion,
Emote the sweet saccharine of all that devotion,
Forget all about that and fall in this ocean with me,
With me.

Twist, snap, I love you
Twist, snap, I love you
Twist, snap, I love you

Da da da…

There’s blood on your legs, I love you
There’s blood on your legs, I love you
There’s blood on your legs, I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you

I Am Kloot - Because

She turns the blue ksy black, I put her on her back
Am I dying, she is lying next to me, she comes again
From the central reservations,
In the subways at the station
It is waiting, it is waiting to be free, to come to me.

From the devil came a daughter,
I was bathing in her waters
She was crying, she was lying over me, we come again.

She turns the blue sky black, she puts me on my back
Is it the night time, it’s a lifeline to the day,
It will come again.

Kill me before you die, kill me before you die,
Cos I love you, cos I love you, don’t let it go, it will come again

Duet with bonnie raitt
Written by victor young and edward heyman

Love letters straight from your heart
Keep us so near while apart
I’m not alone in the night
When I can have all the love you write

I memorize every line
And I kiss the name that you sign
And, darling, then I read again right from the start
Love letters straight from your heart

I memorize every line
And I kiss the name that you sign
And, darling, then I read again right from the start
Love letters straight from your heart
And, darling, then I read again right from the start
Love letters straight from your heart

Elton John - Old Friend

Elton John - Old Friend


Duet with nik kershaw
Written by nik kershaw
Available on the album duets

I want to be good, I want to be strong
But I treated him bad, I’ve done him wrong

I’ve taken his money, I’m given him hell
And he takes it all ’cause he knows me well

We can say what we mean and mean what we say
We don’t like to mess around
But we’re there to hold each other up
When we’re falling down

Just like an old friend
Putting me on my feet again
Giving me back my pride then
Letting me go
Just like an old friend
Putting me in my place again
Giving me back my hope then
Letting me know that he’s an old friend

I don’t suffer no fools *i testify*
But he must be one for being by my side
I’ve broken his heart
I’ve shaken his tree
But still he doesn’t want anything from a fool like me

We won’t talk for a year or two
Maybe when we do we won’t say much
Even so we know that out of mind is never out of touch

We’re having a man-to-man
Don’t want to get sentimental
But both of us understand
We’ll never have to say goodbye, just see you later

Duet with don henley

Available on the album duets

Lady luck and the four leaf clover
Won’t be as hurt as I feel all over
My life for one special occasion
`til you leave in depth the situation

Well well well
Standing on shakey ground
Ever since you put me down
Standing on shakey ground
Ever since you put me down

My car got repossessed this morning
Harder times I haven’t seen in years
Able to throw me a life preserver
`cause I’m about to drown in my own tears

Well well well
Standing on shakey ground
Ever since you put me down
Standing on shakey ground
Ever since you put me down

Well well well
Standing on shakey ground
Ever since you put me down

Standing on shakey ground
Ever since you put me down
Standing on shakey ground
Ever since you put me down

Well well well
Standing on shakey ground
Shaking, shakey ground
Standing, standing
Standing on shakey ground

Duet with k. d. lang
Written by zekkariyas and zeriiya zekkariyas
Available on the album duets

Whenever I hear good-byes
Reminds me, baby, of you
I break down and cry
The next time I’ll be true

Feels as if we lost romance
Reminds me, baby, of you
I took a crazy chance
The next time I’ll be true, I’ll be true

Footsteps on the dance floor
Remind me, baby, of you
Teardrops in my eyes
Next time I’ll be true, yeah

Whispers in the back room
And cries on every tune, every tune

And the music don’t feel like it did
When I felt it with you
Nothing that I do or feel ever feels
Like I felt it with you

When I’m messing round
Reminds me, baby, of you
I really let you down
The next time I’ll be true, I’ll be true

Elton John - The Power

Elton John - The Power


Duet with little richard
Music by elton john
Lyrics by bernie taupin
Available on the album duets

I have sold myself through and through
I have walked in the darkness too
I’ve felt a red sun, the living proof
Washed my hands in the honest truth

I have carried this weight time after time
I have bettered the dumb and the blind
I’ve seen dignity fail and colors run
Seen justice denied by the voice of a gun

And we walk, yes we walk
And we walk with the power every day
Never letting the light slip away

Reaching out, reaching in
Touching truth and touching skin
Never letting the light slip away
And we walk with the power every day

If our faith is a fire then burn baby burn
We’ve had fire long enough to learn
Keeping me whole is a healing light
Kept alive by the flames of night

Walk tall in the power day after day
Never, never, never lose sight of the way
See the dawn come and the dusk end
See the power rise from an open hand

Elton John - True Love

Duet with kiki dee
Written by cole porter
Available on the album duets

Suntanned, windblown
Honeymooners at last alone
Feeling far above par
Oh, how lucky we are

While I give to you and you give to me
True love, true love
So on and on it will always be
True love, true love

For you and I have a guardian angel
On high, with nothing to do
But to give to you as you give to me
Love forever, true
Love forever, true

Give me more true love
Oh yeah
True love, true love

Gotta give me your true love
Oh yeah
True love, true love

Elton John - When I Think About Love

Duet with p. m. dawn
Written by attrel cordes
Available on the album duets

Holding all the pictures that my life draw
I never find a missing love
Remembering all the rays that have been made
But never cloudy leaving love

Ask me what it is that makes it special
Why is it so real to me
It’s knowing who keeps their place in my heart
It’s knowing how is it I can feel you
It’s knowing never will I change my mind, baby
When I think about love I think about you
When I think about love I think about you

Too many times I’ve turned my emotions on and off
Without realizing what it does
I know what’s moved me and kept me going this far
But I never questioned what it was

Elton John - Don’t Let The Sun Go Down on Me

I can’t light no more of your darkness
All my pictures seem to fade to black and white
I’m growing tired and time stands still before me
Frozen here on the ladder of my life

It’s much too late to save myself from falling
I took a chance and changed your way of life
But you misread my meaning when I met you
Closed the door and left me blinded by the light

Don’t let the sun go down on me
Although I search myself, it’s always someone else I see
I’d just allow a fragment of your life to wander free
But losing everything is like the sun going down on me

Ladies and gentlemen mr. elton john

I can’t find
Oh, the right romantic line
But see me once and see the way feel
Don’t discard me baby don’t
Just because you think I mean you harm
Just because you think I mean you harm, oh
But these cuts I have, cuts I have
They need love
They need love, they need love to help them heal

Oh, don’t let the sun go down on me
Although I search myself, it’s always someone else I see
I’d just allow a fragment of your life to wander free
Cause’ losing everything is like the sun going down on me

Don’t let the sun go down on me
Although I search myself, it’s always someone else I that see, yeah
I’d just allow a fragment of your life to wander free baby, oh
Cause’ losing everything is like the sun going down on me
