Natural Charm
Olivia, my darling Olivia,
my young voluptuous queen,
displaying your many assets
on the television screen.
I mean those natural assets,
your hair, your eyes, your smile,
viewers are attracted to programme three
and linger there awhile.
But time is taking quite a toll
on my darling 'work of art'...
now you are pictured on programme four
sliding down the chart!
O Olivia, liken to Sylvia,
I pray you'll not slide again,
a backward step to programme five
could bring your fans much pain.
I do believe you've lost the sparkle
and the beautiful radiant glow;
but still you possess a ladylike charm
and your intellect is 'raring to go'
You will make a come-back
that I know...
and today I give you a rose.

It would be wrong to assume that one must stay with a research programme until it has exhausted all its heuristic power, that one must not introduce a rival programme before everybody agrees that the point of degeneration has probably been reached.

Look Around Ft. Jimmy Cozier
[Verse1: Olivia]
I feel so lost
This emptiness deep inside me
u might as well just stay with her
Did you lay with her?
'Cause whereever you were
You sure ain't thinking 'bout me
I've been spining around
Thinking about our love
And so far you helped me babe oooh
You've been messin' around
And lettin' me down
Simple lies and alibies
If you walk out the door you should..
[Chorus:]
[Chorus1: Olivia]
Just look around
And see that she ain't me
And she'll never be
[Chorus2: Jimmy]
Take a look around
And know that you're lettin' go
The best love you'll ever know
[Verse2: Jimmy]
It's just those simple things
Like Jealosy, houndin' me
Accusing me of things
I never did yea
And Thursday you're so in love
Then Friday comes you flip again
Tell me does the drama ever end?
I've been spinnin' around
Thinking about our love
And so far it's crazy
And you keep on talking about
I'm messing around
I cheated you, mistreated you
There's nothing in the world for you I won't do
[Chorus2: Jimmy]
Take a look around
And know that you're lettin' go
The best love you'll ever know
[Chorus1: Olivia]
Just look around
And see that she ain't me
And she'll never be
[Verse3: Olivia]
Look around
[Jimmy:]
Look around and realize
That being good to you
You can't believe every little thing
That your friends be tellin' you

You lied before and you lied some more
It's clear to see

And see that she ain't me
And she'll never be
[Chorus2: Jimmy]
Take a look around
And know that you're lettin' go
The best love you'll ever know
[Over chorus]
[Olivia]
Look around and think about it
That girl ain't me
You're trying my patience baby
This is your last chance
[Jimmy:]
Look around and think about
The things that you said
'Cause I don't deserve
To be talked to this way
[Olivia:]
Look around and think about it
That girl ain't me I won't be yours
If you keep mistreatin' me oh yea
[Jimmy:]
Look around and think about it
Get it out of your mind
If I waned her, why am I by your side?

And I know it sounds like I'm frontin', but I ain't
Jerk jerk ya body, and work work 'em proudly, go and hurt somebody if I don't hit that
If you don't see 'em wit me don't ask bout 50
Cuz if he was here he'd be standin' right here
And if you don't care so much about my fame
Then why you keep starin' at my chain? I'm doin' my thing
From the club to the telly on a late night
Box of Magnums sippin' hen, finna get right
Checkout time ain't til daylight
From the club to the telly on a late night
[Olivia:]
Ooh babe you know I like it when you feel on me
Pullin on my waist I'm feelin energy

Twist it, shake it, bend but don't break it
Work that body gettin' so crazy
Don't hurt nobody up in this party

Work that body gettin' butt naked
Don't hurt nobody up in this party
Twist it, shake it, bend but don't break it

Mix a little hypno with some hennessey
Like the way this jig goes when it goes through me
Think I need to stop because I'm feelin' tipsy (one more drink)

This programme would only really make sense and work properly if it was also broadcast on France's international television channel TV5. So I ended up with a double production, on France 2 and TV5.

After The Concert
After the concert you went
around the back and there
was the bus with John Lewis
talking to some guy by the
door and having got by them
you climbed aboard the bus
and saw the other members
of the MJQ and having made
your way towards them Percy
Heath gave you a big smile and
you said who you were and he
gave you the low down on his
double bass and signed your
programme and so did Connie
Kay although he didn’t have a
lot to say and then there was
Milt Jackson who was sitting
in a side seat a guy you wanted
to meet who had played with
most of the jazz greats years
before and he said a few words
and signed with a quick squiggle
and then as you departed the bus
John Lewis all gentlemanly and
soft spoken signed the programme
too and then you were off back
home to play the record of the
MHQ you’d bought carrying your
images of the MJQ guys in your
memory that you’d caught.

On Matchdays
Meet in the pub
have a few beers
banter with away fans
wind each other up.
Make way to the ground
soak up the atmosphere
quick flick through the programme
clap the players onto the pitch.
A half time pint and pie
chat about the game
then back to your seat
hug your mate, just scored.
Gutted a late equaliser
but hold on for a draw
some boo, some clap
back to the pub.
Have a few beers
banter with away fans
wind each other up
shake hands,
'safe journey home '

More Than A Woman
To: Mom
From: Bambo A` Olivia
Note: loVE U MOM
More than a woman
So sweet and kind
with a smile so bright.
a woman, a hero.
caring she is
unconditional love she gives.
her heart so warm, with arms so wide; could hug the world.
a gift from the heavens above
an angel.
turns our frowns to smiles.
shes more than a woman
a mother, a wife. a best friend.
giving but never taking
no words can xpress what we feel.
we love u, cherish u and honor u with pride.
u`r a blessing from the heavens above.
mother we love u.
u love us unconditionally.
u `r 1 in a million.

The Waves Of Emotion
My hero—where art thou hero
Calling you in my sleep
Afraid of what seeps
Through the covers
That clings to my chest
And claws into my soul
You monstrosity of an emotion
I detest you
Yet you mock me
I vomit all the sickness
All the hate
All the tears
All the screams
Onto you
I scratch and claw
And push
Yet you still hold on to me
I’m your precious china doll
So fragile
I break in an instant
I crack permanently
My pieces unwilling to bind together
But then someone comes along and glues me back
But not as I should be
Forgetting all the pain that caused me to break
Will never go away, but to learn to change
To recover and to gain myself to a higher understanding
That I can do, that I can accept.
And so, I am me again.

Virtual World (12" Extended Mix)
Written by ricky & kim wilde
Images projected on a screen
Step into an artificial dream
Programme all the things you want to feel
Make a world where fantasies are real
Stand back and let the future unfurl
Well all be living in a virtual world
In a virtual world
Ah-ah, in a virtual world
Journey far beyond the atmosphere
Watch the world behind you disappear
Float inside a microscopic cell
Is this dream a heaven or a hell?
Stand back and watch the future unfurl
Well all be living in a virtual world
In a virtual world
Ah-ah, in a virtual world
In the name of progress science stands
Pushing all the frontiers known to man
When they go too far the frontiers break
And were left to deal with their mistakes
Stand back and watch the future unfurl
Well all be living in a virtual world
In a virtual world
Ah-ah, in a virtual world
Images projected on a screen
Step into an artificial dream
Programme all the things you want to feel
Make a world where fantasies are real
In the name of progress science stands
Pushing all the frontiers known to man
When they go too far the frontiers break
And were left to deal with their mistakes
Stand back and watch the future unfurl
Well all be living in a virtual world
Stand back and watch the future unfurl
Well all be living in a virtual world
In a virtual world
Ah-ah, in a virtual world
Ah-ah, (ah-ah) in a virtual world
Ah-ah, in a virtual world

Coronation on the tele
In 1953 the television came
A big brown wooden box
which coddled a tiny screen
behind the glass
On either side a knob to twizzle
but my dad said If you touch
the screen will all explode
So we didn't
We watched the tiny Queen
waving from her big glass coach
-except it wasn't really glass
except the windows - not the wheels
The neighbours crowded in
to borrow sugar - or to see the prize -
sitting on our mam's armchair arms
refusing to go home
And as the Queen was seen
they clapped and cheered as if the Queen could hear
and waved their little Union Flags
just like the crowds in London
standing in the rain all day
to see the people passing by
The enormous Queen of Tonga and her son
- and boring Heads of State
Children wet and waving flags
were standing on their daddies' shoulders
Some were clutching guardsmen's trouser legs
and waving from the gutter
But we could see it all at home - and jockey with the neighbours
Our mam spent all the programme making tea
and moaning as the milk was running out
and missing all the Queen

Come Back Darling
Come back darling
Give me another try
I'll make you satisfied
Don't you know, I need you badly
And I'll give my poor heart gladly
I need your love like roses need the rain
Don't let me cry in pain
Come back darling
Give me another try
I'll make you satisfied
Can't you see the love still burning
Please return, relieve my yearning
A day without you is like a year of emptiness
Please return and bring me happiness
Come back darling
Give me another try
I'll make you satisfied

Alien planet
It was a fresh dazzling day
I gradually openened my eyes
I was in a strange place
That I had not seen before
So much serenity, so much charm
That I had not encountered before
Crystal clear water, milky mountains
Such tasty fruits, the place pollution free
No hatred, no crime, no war and no corruption
The aliens live in a total peace
With much helping tendency, they all live united
My mind and heart were at tranquility
It was a pleasurable experience
Suddenly the vision began to vanish
I was once again back on earth
Seeing a programme on my television
About the life in the other planets

Beautiful Boy
Close your eyes
Have no fear
The monster's gone
He's on the run and your daddy's here
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy
Before you go to sleep
Say a little prayer
Every day in every way
It's getting better and better
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy
Out on the ocean sailing away
I can hardly wait
To see you come of age
But i guess we'll both just have to be patient
'cause it's a long way to go
A hard row to hoe
Yes it's a long way to go
But in the meantime
Before you cross the street
Take my hand
Life is what happens to you
While you're busy making other plans
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy
Before you go to sleep
Say a little prayer
Every day in every way
It's getting better and better
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy
