The Carnival is Over - The Seekers
The Carnival is Over (Goodbye True Lover) - Boney M.

Traditional, Chappell, T.Springfield, F.Farian 
                Boney M.

Say goodbye, my own true lover
As we sing a lover's song
How it breaks my heart to leave you
Now the carnival is gone

High above the dawn is waking
And my tears are falling rain
For the carnival is over
We may never meet again
For the carnival is over
We may never meet again

Like a drum my heart was beating
And your kiss was sweet as wine
For the joys of love are fleeting
For Pierrot and Columbine

Now the harbor light is calling
This will be our last goodbye
Though the carnival is over
I will love you till I die

Say goodbye, my own true lover
As we sing a lover's song
How it breaks my heart to leave you
Now the carnival is gone

Say goodbye, my own true lover
This will be our last goodbye
Though the carnival is over
I will love you till I die

Though the carnival is over
I will love you till I die
Though the carnival is over
I will love you till I die

Take The Heat Off Me - Boney M.
Take The Heat Off Me - Boney M.

    G.Bigazzi, G.Bella
         Boney M.

Take the heat off me
Please take the heat off me
Yes I'm burning
If you really lie and cheat
I don't want to meet your kind of terms no more

So take the heat off me
Please take the heat off me
Yes I'm burning
Don't believe you're trying to make it
And I just can't keep on taking it no more

Don't mean to say you double-crossed me
But somehow I think that you've lost me
Maybe you weren't even trying to see
Where I was or where I should be
And if you're just faking
We'd better start breaking away tonight
So take this fire from my heart tonight

So take the heat off me
Please take the heat off me
Yes I'm burning
Don't believe you're trying to make it
And I just can't keep on taking it no more

Take the heat off me
Please take the heat off me
Yes I'm burning
If you really lie and cheat
I don't want to meet your kind of terms no more

Don't mean to say you double-crossed me
But somehow I think that you've lost me
Maybe you weren't even trying to see
Where I was or where I should be
And if you're just faking
We'd better start breaking away tonight
So take this fire from my heart tonight

So Take the heat off me
Please take the heat off me
Take the heat off me
Please take the heat off me
Take the heat off me
Yes I'm burning
If you really lie and cheat
I don't want to meet your kind of terms no more

So Take the heat off me
Please take the heat off me
Take the heat off me
Please take the heat off me
Take the heat off me
Yes I'm burning
If you really lie and cheat
I don't want to meet your kind of terms no more

So Take the heat off me
Please take the heat off me
Take the heat off me
Please take the heat off me
Take the heat off me
Yes I'm burning
If you really lie and cheat
I don't want to meet your kind of terms no more

So Take the heat off me
Please take the heat off me
Take the heat off me
Please take the heat off me
Take the heat off me
Yes I'm burning
If you really lie and cheat
I don't want to meet your kind of terms no more

Sunny, yesterday my life was filled with rain.
Sunny, you smiled at me and really eased the pain.
The dark days are gone, and the bright days are here,
My sunny one shines so sincere.
Sunny one so true, i love you.

Sunny, thank you for the sunshine bouquet.
Sunny, thank you for the love you brought my way.
You gave to me your all and all.
Now i feel ten feet tall.
Sunny one so true, i love you.

Sunny, thank you for the truth you let me see.
Sunny, thank you for the facts from a to c.
My life was torn like a windblown sand,
And the rock was formed when you held my hand.
Sunny one so true, i love you.

Sunny
Sunny, thank you for the smile upon your face.
Sunny, thank you for the gleam that shows its grace.
You're my spark of nature's fire,
You're my sweet complete desire.
Sunny one so true, i love you.

Still I'm Sad - Boney M.

        J.McCarty, P.Samwell-Smith
                 Boney M.

See the stars come joining down from the sky
Gently passing they kiss your tears when you cry
See the wind the summer blow your hair upon your head
See the rain, the falling rain, it's great
Still I'm sad

All my sounds my tears just fall into days
They are driving the night will find they are lost
Now I found the wind is blowing time into my heart
When the wind blows hard we are apart
Still I'm sad

See the stars come joining down from the sky
Gently passing they kiss your tears when you cry
See the wind the summer blow your hair upon your head
See the rain, the falling rain, it's great
Still I'm sad

Still I'm sad
Oh heart, I'm sad
Still I'm sad
Oh heart, I'm sad

Silent lover, secret lover, run for cover
When my man's in town

You never been a shy one
You really are a sly one yes sire, yes sire, oh
Coming right out of hiding
Slipping right in and sliding, down to me, oh baby oh
And when it's time for worryin'
You're doing what you're doing, gracefully, oh baby
When you took me into your arms and shook me
To the core, oh yeah...

Silent lover, secret lover, run for cover
When my man's in town
Silent lover, secret lover, run for cover
When my man's in town

Oh I guess you really change me
You sort of rearrange me more and more, oh baby yeah...
Each day you come on stronger
I know you really longer
What's the score, what's the score, alright
And I know you're much too clever,
Just to go run forever
No, not you, oh baby
You're like a wind wing rover
Just like a wind wing rover, passing through, oh yeah...
And one day you'll say
No use to keep on saying, name the truth, oh baby

Silent lover, secret lover, run for cover
When my man's in town
Silent lover, secret lover, run for cover
When my man's in town

You never been a shy one
You really are a sly one yes sire, oh baby

Slipping right in and sliding, down to me, oh yeah...
Oh...and when it's time for worryin'
You're doing what you're doing, gracefully, gracefully
Oh you took me into your arms and shook me
To the score, to a score
Oh I guess you really change me
You sort of rearrange me more and more, oh...yeah...

Silent lover, secret lover, run for cover
When my man's in town

By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down

Ye-eah we wept, when we remembered Zion.

When the wicked
Carried us away in captivity
Required from us a song
Now how shall we sing the lord's song in a strange land

When the wicked
Carried us away in captivity
Requiering of us a song
Now how shall we sing the lord's song in a strange land

Let the words of our mouth and the meditations of our heart
Be acceptable in thy sight here tonight

Let the words of our mouth and the meditation of our hearts
Be acceptable in thy sight here tonight

By the rivers of babylon, there we sat down
Ye-eah we wept, when we remembered Zion.

By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down
Ye-eah we wept, when we remembered Zion.

By the rivers of Babylon (dark tears of Babylon)
There we sat down (you got to sing a song)
Ye-eah we wept, (sing a song of love)
When we remember Zion. (yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)

By the rivers of babylon (rough bits of Babylon)
There we sat down (you hear the people cry)
Ye-eah we wept, (they need their god)
When we remember Zion. (ooh, have the power)

Ribbons Of Blue - Boney M.

           K.Forsey, L.Andrew
                Boney M.

Ribbons of blue remind me of you
Ribbons of red are the way that my heart bled
Memories so clear are still ringing in my ears
So I wanna send to you my ol' ribbons of blue

Ribbons of blue now remind me of you
Ribbons of red are the way that my heart bled
Memories so clear are still ringing in my ears
So I wanna send to you my ol' ribbons of blue

Got me a ribbon, bright blue ribbon for my hair
Made me a promise, now I know he didn't care
Touched by his first kiss, fooled by his first song
The way he led me along with my ribbons undone

Ribbons of blue now remind me of you
Ribbons of red are the way that my heart bled
Memories so clear are still ringing in my ears
So I wanna send to you my ol' ribbons of blue

Ribbons of blue now remind me of you
Ribbons of red are the way that my heart bled
Memories so clear are still ringing in my ears
So I wanna send to you my ol' ribbons of blue

Rasputin - Boney M.

    F.Farian, F.Jay, G.Reyam, (H.-J.Mayer)
                 Boney M.

There lived a certain man in Russia long ago
He was big and strong, in his eyes a flaming glow
Most people looked at him with terror and with fear
But to Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear
He could preach the bible like a preacher
Full of ecstasy and fire
But he also was the kind of teacher
Women would desire

Ra ra Rasputin
Lover of the Russian queen
There was a cat that really was gone
Ra ra Rasputin
Russia's greatest love machine
It was a shame how he carried on

He ruled the Russian land and never mind the czar
But the cassock he danced really wunderbar
In all affairs of state he was the man to please
But he was real great when he had a girl to squeeze
For the queen he was no wheeler dealer
Though she'd heard the things he'd done
She believed he was a holy healer
Who would heal her son

But when his drinking and lusting and his hunger
For power became known to more and more people,
The demands to do something about this outrageous
Man became louder and louder.

"This man's just got to go!" declared his enemies
But the ladies begged "don't you try to do it, please"
No doubt this Rasputin had lots of hidden charms
Though he was a brute they just fell into his arms
Then one night some men of higher standing
Set a trap, they're not to blame
"Come to visit us" they kept demanding
And he really came

Ra ra Rasputin
Lover of the Russian queen
They put some poison into his wine
Ra ra Rasputin
Russia's greatest love machine
He drank it all and he said "I feel fine"

Ra ra Rasputin
Lover of the Russian queen
They didn't quit, they wanted his head
Ra ra Rasputin
Russia's greatest love machine
And so they shot him till he was dead

 Plantation Boy - Boney M.

            F.Jay, King 
              Boney M.

Lots of people walk about proud and free
Lift up your head start looking around
There's a brandnew feeling of liberty
Like a clear bell that's starting to sound

Plantation Boy
C'mon and get going
Yesterday's chains have broken in two
Plantation Boy
The new move is growing
Reaching the hills and the valleys and you
Plantation Boy
Plantation Boy

Lots of smiling faces for you to meet
So many hands to help you along
Just shake off the mud that weighs down your feet
If you stand tall you just can't go wrong

Plantation Boy
C'mon and get going
Yesterday's chains have broken in two
Plantation Boy
The new move is growing
Reaching the hills, the valleys and you
Plantation Boy
Plantation Boy

Years of picking cotton for little pay
Living alone in some wooden shack
Sweating in the heat of a summer's day
This is all over, you won't come back

Plantation Boy
C'mon and get going
Yesterday's chains have broken in two
Plantation Boy
The new move is growing
Reaching the hills, the valleys and you
Plantation Boy
Plantation Boy

Plantation Boy
C'mon and get going
Yesterday's chains have broken in two
Plantation Boy
The new move is growing
Reaching the hills, the valleys and you
Plantation Boy
Plantation Boy

Plantation Boy
Plantation Boy
Wherever you may go

Reaching the hills and the valleys and you...
Reaching the hills and the valleys and you...
Reaching the hills and the valleys and you...
Reaching the hills and the valleys and you...
Reaching the hills and the valleys and you...
Reaching the hills and the valleys and you...
Reaching the hills and the valleys and you...
Reaching the hills and the valleys and you...
Reaching the hills and the valleys and you...
Reaching the hills and the valleys and you...
Reaching the hills and the valleys and you...
