-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now I'm A Toreador
I Am For Sure
I Kill Bulls By The Score
And Sometimes More
And When They Hear The Bell Ring
Inside The Bullring
The Bullocks All Start Trembling
They Know I'm Coming

I'm Don Alfonso
Some Call Me Pedro
But That Is Not So
I'm Don Alfonso
I Fought Bullocks Out In Sunny Spain
Out In Sunny Spain
I Fought Bulls In The Sunshine
And I Fought Them In The Rain
I'm Don Alfonso
I Work For Oxo
And All The Bullocks Are Affraid Of Me
Oh My Sword I Pull
Kill Si Bull
Yes Sir Yes Sir Three Bags Full
Then We Have Steak And Chips For Tea

I Met A Sweet Señora
In Barcelona
Her Christian Name Was Mona
She Was Thumbs Up Bona
She Told Me She Was Single
That Made Me Tingle
My Heart Went Jingle Jingle
I Said: Let's Mingle

I'm Don Alfonso
Some Call Me Pedro
But That Is Not So
I'm Don Alfonso
I Fought Bullocks Out In Sunny Spain
Out In Sunny Spain
I Fought Bulls In The Sunshine
And I Fought Bulls In The Rain
I'm Don Alfonso
I Work For Oxo
And All The Bullocks Are Affraid Of Me
Oh My Sword I Pull
Kill Si Bull
Yes Sir Yes Sir Three Bags Full
Then We Have Fully Beff For Tea
(Repeat Two Times)

I Fight Bulls Every Sunday
And Sometimes Monday
And When I Fight On Sunday
We've Cold Meat Monday
We Have Meat Hash On Tuesday
Sometimes Hashed Wednesday
We Don't Eat Meat On Friday
We Wait Till Sunday

I'm Don Alfonso
Some Call Me Pedro
But That Is Not So
I'm Don Alfonso
I Fought Bullocks Out In Sunny Spain
Out In Sunny Spain
I Fought Bulls In The Sunshine
And We Fought Bulls In The Rain
I'm Don Alfonso
I Work For Oxo
And All The Bullocks Are Affraid Of Me
Oh My Sword I Pull
Kill Si Bull
Yes Sir Yes Sir Three Bags Full
Then We Have Ham And Eggs For Tea

 

RITE OF A MAN____________________________________

musica y letra: Mike Oldfield
---------------------------------------------
So now we went our merry, merry way
To break the life monastic.
There's one two words I'd like to say
As we trip the light fantastic.
To hold a course and forge a way.
Here's to another folk cliché.
Do not dismay tra-lu-ai-lay,
Speak up for the right of Man.

[ Chorus ]

Speak up, speak up, speak up for the rite of Man.
Speak up, speak up, speak up for the rite of Man.
Take your fortunes when you can.
Make your break like Superman.
Come back like a boomerang.
Speak up for the right of Man.

[ Repeat Chorus ]

[ Repeat Chorus ]

[ Repeat Chorus ]

Oh!

 

FROGGY WENT A COURTING___________________

Tradicional; Voces: Bridget St. John y Mike Oldfield

---------------------------------------------------------------------

The Frog Went A-Courting In A Heated Ride
The Frog Went A-Courting And He Did Right
The Frog Went A-Courting On A Little White Horse
The Sword And Pistol By His Side

He Went Down To Miss Mouse's Door
He Went Down To Miss Mouse's Door
He Went Down To Miss Mouse's Door
Where He Had Been Many Times Before

Then He Took Miss Mouse Upon His Knee
And He Took Miss Mouse Upon His Knee
Yes, He Took Miss Mouse Upon His Knee
And He Said: Miss Mouse Will You Marry Me?

Without My Onkel Rat's Consent
I'm Affraid Without My Onkel Rat's Consent
Oh No, Without My Onkel Rat's Consent
I Would Not Marry The President

Then Onkel Rat Laughed And He Shock His Fat Side
Yes, Then Onkel Rat Laughed And He Shock His Fat Side
Onkel Rat Laughed And He Shock His Fat Side
To Think That His Niece Would Be A Bride

Then He Said: Where Will The Wedding Breakfast Be?
Oh, Where Will The Wedding Breakfast Be?
Where Will The Wedding Breakfast Be?
Way Down Yonder In That Hollow Tree?

The Owls Did Hoot And The Birds They Sang
The Owls Did Hoot And The Birds They Sang
And The Owls Did Hoot And The Birds They Sang
Through The Woods The Music Rang

(UK Version Sung By Bridget St. John,
German Version Sung By Mike Oldfield)

And They All Went Sailing Across The Lake
And They All Went Sailing Across The Lake
And They All Went Sailing Across The Lake
And They Got Swollowed Up By A Big Fat Snake

There's Bread And Cheese Upon The Shelf
There's Bread And Cheese Upon The Shelf
There's Bread And Cheese Upon The Shelf
If You Want Anymore You Can Sing It Yourself

MISTAKE_____________________________________

 

music and lyrics by Mike Oldfield; sung by Maggie Reilly
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
There was a mistake under the weather,
One shout's gonna turn into another.
It's a heartbreak under the weather,
Standing out in the cold.

Highway is frightning.
Rain hammering on your window.
I hate sheet lightning.
You reach for the telephone.

[ Chorus ]

Mistake under the weather,
One shout's gonna turn into another.
It's a heartbreak under the weather,
Standing out in the cold.

I pray for blue skies,
Rain hammering on your window.
On your way you wonder why
You're spending on your own.

[ Repeat Chorus ]

And talking on the radio,
You never know how to say
Anything's a plan that could be on your mind,
It could vanish in a tragical way.
Get lost in dreaming.
Rain hammering on your window,
Try to catch the meaning.
You're dancing on your own.

[ Repeat Chorus ]

And talking on the radio,
You never know how to say
Anything's a plan that could be on your mind,
It could vanish in a tragical way.

(Hammering)

(Meaning)

There was a mistake under the weather,
One shout's gonna turn into another.
It's a heartbreak under the weather,
Standing out in the cold.

It was a mistake under the weather,
One shout's gonna turn into another.
It's a heartbreak under the weather,
Standing out in the cold.

There was a mistake under the weather,
One shout's gonna turn into another.
It's a heartbreak under the weather,
Standing out in the cold.

It was a mistake!

PICTURES IN THE DARK_______________________

 

music and lyrics by Mike Oldfield
---------------------------------------------
Follow the light that glows
Through your bedroom window.
Tonight, tonight, the fading twilight.
There's a hollow deep in the woods
Where you know you're crazy
To go, to go, not even meant to know
There are...

Pictures in the dark, I see all around.
Voices calling underground
And I'm watching the stars since the
World was found.

One, two, three.

[ Chorus ]

Pictures in the dark, I see
Morpheus comes to me.
Pictures in the dark, I see.
Aurora sets you free.

And in the deepest dark
You come to a maze in.
The night, the night, the fading twilight.
And you shiver the glistening path
Where you know you're crazy
To go, to go, not even meant to know.
There are...

Pictures in the dark, I see all around.
Voices calling underground
And I'm watching the stars since the
World was found.

One, two, three.

Lost in my dreams.

This night will never end.
You can only fly in your dreams.
Midnight will be your friend.
Drift away on starlight beams.
Clocks are ticking the night away.
You can only fly until dawn ascends.

[ Repeat Chorus ]

The moon shines starlight beams
And you'll be flying in your dreams.

[ Repeat Chorus ]

The moon shines starlight beams
And you'll be flying in your dreams.

[ Repeat Chorus ]

 

CRIME OF PASSION__________________________

 

music and lyrics by Mike Oldfield; sung by Barry Palmer

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

On A Bright Day She Passed Away
In The Morning It's A Cruel Way
To Take Her Away With No Warning
He Took Her Hand Through Every Midnight Hour
And Then He Saw Her Fading Away Like A Spring Shower

(Chorus 1)

I Can See A Complete Life's Time
Pictures And Posters Of Times And Fashion
Nineteen Years With No Reason Or Rhyme
Taken Away In A Crime Of Passion

He Stood To See If He Could Catch Her Breathing
But I Was No Good He Understood She Was Leaving
He Looked Outside The Frosty Window Pane
And Then He Saw Her Moving Away Elizabeth Jane

(Repeat Chorus 1)

I See Freedom In Sight It's A Long Climb
But She Would Not Give Up The Fight For A Long Time
And I See A Light Come Shining Into Night
Baby It's All Right We Couldn't Have Changed It Was
Second Sight

(Repeat Chorus 1)

I See Freedom Light Shining In The Night
I See Freedom But She Wouldn't Give Up The Fight
I See Her Light Come Shining Into Night
Baby It's All Right We Couldn't Have Changed It Was
Second Sight

(Chorus 2)

I See A Light Come Shining Into Night
Baby It's All Right We Couldn't Have Changed It Was
Second Sight
