Honeymoon In Beirut
I wake up every night (to the sound)
To the sound of breaking glass
Got troops in the bed
And tanks in the hall
I kidnapped and held for ransom (the one in me)
The one in me that you loved
We wait for the fall
And put emotional bullet holes in the wall
And we both, keep sending signals all is well
Wish you were here
Honeymoon in beirut
Although I keep on sending postcards
From heaven (tell me)
Why do I stay (I dont know)
Honeymoon in beirut
And we still keep pretending
Sixes are sevens (tell me)
Why cant we say
There is no honeymoon
This is no honeymoon, no
This is no honeymoon
There is no honeymoon, no
Honeymoon in beirut
There are no peace talks pending
No quarter given (theres just)
Blood on the bed, where there used to be love
Strategy and maneuvers (have replaced)
Any love that was here
We have dinner in silence
And bullets with beer
I dont know what you want (my defeat)
Or complete surrender
Or peace in our time
While in bed we draw the battle line
And we sit, out in the rain
Writing cards to friends back home
The weather is fine
Honeymoon in beirut
Although I keep on sending postcards
From heaven (tell me)
Why do I stay (I dont know)
Honeymoon in beirut
And we still keep pretending
Sixes are sevens (tell me)
Why cant we say
There is no honeymoon
This is no honeymoon, no
This is no honeymoon
There is no honeymoon, no
And we stand out in the rain
Smiling as we sink like a stone
And hope for the end (whatever it is)
Honeymoon in beirut
Although I keep on sending postcards
From heaven (tell me)
Why do I stay (I dont know)
Honeymoon in beirut
And we still keep pretending
Sixes are sevens (tell me)
Why cant we say
There is no honeymoon
This is no honeymoon, no
This is no honeymoon
There is no honeymoon, no

Hometown Honeymoon
Hey baby, won't you take my hand
And make me a happy man
I ain't rich but I found my fortune in you
Two jobs on the nighttime shift
I'm still left with an empty fist
But my heart is full and my love is true
We can still get married in the style of our friends and family
Gather all of them to celebrate while we slip out quietly
And have a hometown honeymoon
Wildflowers and love is in bloom
We'll have a hometown honeymoon just me and you
Hometown honeymoon
Get out of church and up to your room
We'll have a hoe-down afternoon
Dancing to the rhythm of love
We can sing and laugh out loud
Lifestyles of the poor but proud
Cuddle up on the porch and enjoy the view
We can't afford Niagara Falls
But there's a fountain by the old town hall
We'll make a wish by the light of a lover's moon
I'll get my Grandma's wedding ring
And my brother's Chevrolet
We can stay at your mama's house;
We don't have to go away
To have a hometown honeymoon
Wildflowers and love is in bloom
We'll have a hometown honeymoon
Dancing to the rhythm of love
Instrumental
Your daddy's prize possession
I'll make a good impression
I'm gonna get his blessing
That's all we need
Hometown honeymoon
Wildflowers and love is in bloom
We'll have a hometown honeymoon just me and you
Hometown Honeymoon
Get out of church and up to your room
We'll have a hoe-down afternoon
Dancing to the rhythm of love
Hometown honeymoon
Hometown honeymoon
Hometown honeymoon
Wildflowers and love is in bloom...

The Honeymoon Song
One, two, three
Two, two, three
You know I love you baby
And I know you love me too
But the fun that day
Didnt start until
We left on our honeymoon
Stepped off the plane into a warm sunny day
Then we got leid together
The sun shines down on a lonely town
Where the fish all smile cause they know us
Our wedding day was warm and sunny
Our friends and family came from out of town
We said I do, then ate some food
And smiled til the sun went down
Well take the zodiac, the cadillac
Around the north shore and then well head back
The sea turtles come to greet us
So lets get loaded tonight
Well drink on the flight
Back home, the honeymoon is over
You know I love you baby
And I know you love me too
But the fun that day
Didnt start until
We left on our honeymoon
Were on our honeymoon
Were on our honeymoon
The fun that day
Didnt start until
We left on our honeymoon

Lady Godivas Room
Words and music mick hucknall
before we go on the honeymoon is over...
Just because Ive never known your face
Dont look at me in the wrong way
To try and pick you out from all this space
The coldest room in the whole damn place
Chorus
Lady godivas room
The only place she ever played in tune
Lady godivas room
The only place she ever played her bells in
Ah this is madness
This is insane
Gloom
Before we go on the honeymoon is over
When I asked I was beside myself
Thought that marrige would turn out well
The love we have is still inside us
The dreams we had have left inside and died
In this holly and ivy age
The day we kissed on the mistletoe train
Chorus
Before we go on the honeymoon is over
Bofore we go on the honeymoon is over
Lady godiva the honeymoon is over

The Honeymoon Is Over
The honeymoon is over
And he has left for work
Whistling something obvious from La Boheme
And carrying a brown calfskin attache case
I never dreamed he was capable of owning,
Having started the day
With ten pushups and a cold shower
Followed by hearty breakfast.
(What do we actually have in common?)
The honeymoon is over
And I am dry-mopping the floor
In a green Dacron dry-mopping outfit from Saks,
Wondering why I'm not dancing in the dark,
Or rejecting princes,
Or hearing people gasp at my one-man show,
My god, so beautiful and so gifted!
(The trouble is I never knew a prince.)
The honeymoon is over
And we find that dining by candlelight makes us squint,
And that all the time
I was letting him borrow my comb and hang up his wet
raincoat in my closet
I was really waiting
To stop letting him.
And that all the time
He was saying how he loved my chicken pot pie,
He was really waiting
To stop eating it.
(I guess they call this getting to know each other.)

Black Honeymoon
(simon/goldman/brackman)
You may think Im dumb
Or you may think youre sly
But I know what youre cravin
Ive been watchin your eyes
Theres a girl cross the room
Shes been glancin this way
Both of you wonderin
When youll have your day
(chorus)
Black honeymoon
Ill be leavin you soon
Next time maybe Ill be the girl
Across the room
Black honeymoon
Shes tossin her hair
She wont meet my stare
I turn to accuse you
You pretend shes not there
The pains not so bad
Cause Ive played thru this game
The players are different
But the moves theyre the same
Now shes gone
And youre smilin back
But my bloods turned to ice, ice, ice, ice
Now I dont feel undone
And I dont feel afraid
Theres nothing quite so cold
As the heart youve betrayed

The Long Honeymoon
All the bedroom lights go out
As the neighbourhood gets quiet
Everything in heaven and earth is almost right
But theres a wife whos wondering where her husband could be tonight
And when the phone rang only once she took a dreadful fright
Little things just seem to undermine her confidence in him
He was late this time last week
Who can she turn to when the chance of coincidence is slim
cause the baby isnt old enought to speak
Theres been a long honeymoon
She thought too late and spoke too soon
Theres no money back guarantee on future happiness
Theres been a long honeymoon
If hes out on a date then her lifes in ruins
She never thought her love could ever be as strong as this
All the movies and the papers
Feature the murders of lonely women
If he isnt in by ten shell call up her best friend
Why doesnt he come home
Why does her friends phone keep on ringing
Maybe she should just pretend
(chorus)

If I Aint Got You
(written by craig wiseman, trey bruce)
Well, Ive got a steady job that pays enough
A pretty good car that dont break down much
Ive got a two-tone hound dog wagging his tail
Ed mcmahon promising a million in the mail
Ought to be enough to see me through
But it dont mean nothing
If I aint got you
Ive got every eight track that elvis ever made
Crank it up loud and dance the night away
Ive got chardonnay chillin in the frigidaire
A dozen ways of telling you how I care
Just out the window theres a lovers moon
But it dont mean nothing
If I aint got you
If I aint got you
Baby, its all in vain
If I aint got you
Oh, its like a honeymoon without champagne
A shiny set of rails without a train
Well, Ive got a little dream about the rest of my life
Find a good man and be the perfect wife
Start a little family and watch it grow
Visit on sundays after we get old
Make enough love to last a whole life through
But it dont mean nothing
If I aint got you
If I aint got you
Baby, its all in vain
If I aint got you
Oh, its like a honeymoon without champagne
A shiny set of wheels without a train
Ive got a doublewide heart with room for two
But it dont mean nothing
If I aint got you
No it dont mean nothing
If I aint got you

Some things never change.
I do.
She said and so did I
We wed,
one Saturday in June.
We went
away on honeymoon.
A taste
of paradise for two.
We swore.
Each year we would renew.
The vows
we made when we were wed.
Today
though many years have flown.
We are
on honeymoon again
The kids
grown up and fled the nest.
Nothing
has changed we feel the same.
Our love
grew deeper day by day.
The same
hotel the same bedroom.
We had
reviving memories.
Although
We have raised a family.
We knew
all those years ago.
We would
return to paradise.
A dream
that would come true.
Today.
While watching the sun rise.
She said,
I love you so did I.
It’s true.
We were wiser than we knew.
When we
decided we should wed.
We two.
Were meant to be a pair.
Decreed
by fate: We still care.
The way
we did when we first wed.
She knows
its true and so do I.

The Second Wedding
No long white beaded dress and veil
No bridesmaids
No lovely old craggy church and vicar
No guests.
No embarrassing speeches and jokes
No best man
No sumptious reception and cake
No disco.
No worries about long lost relations
No hassle
No last minute catering snags
No problems.
Just a beautiful hot sunny day
and helicopter
Just a pilot, witnesses and
Las Vegas.
Just a romantic exchange of vows
at last!
Just a mix up of our rings
and laughter.
Just a redstone secluded mountain
and champagne
Just a perfect wonderful day
and us.
Just a fabulous West Coast honeymoon
and LA
Just an amazing Wedding our style
Brilliant! !
Thank you to the American people for making our Wedding and honeymoon so special. Thank you for all the upgrades especially on the Queen Mary! You were fantastic and we hope to revisit soon. x

Come Fly With Me
Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly away
If you can use some exotic booze
There's a bar in far Bombay
Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly away
Come fly with me, let's float down to Peru
In llama land there's a one-man band
And he'll toot his flute for you
Come fly with me, let's take off in the blue
Once I get you up there where the air is rarified
We'll just glide, starry-eyed
Once I get you up there I'll be holding you so near
You may hear all the angels cheer 'cause we're together
Weather-wise it's such a lovely day
You just say the words and we'll beat the birds
Down to Acapulco Bay
It's perfect for a flying honeymoon, they say
Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly away
Once I get you up there where the air is rarified
We'll just glide, starry-eyed
Once I get you up there I'll be holding you so near
You may even hear, a whole gangof cheers just because we're together
Weather-wise it's such a cool, cool day
You just say the words and we'll beat the birds
Down to Acapulco Bay
It's perfect for a flying honeymoon, oh babe!
Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly
Pack up, let's fly away!!
And don't tell your momma!!
