Elton John: Sacrifice

It's a human sign
When things go wrong
When the scent of her lingers
And temptation's strong
Into the boundary
Of each married man
Sweet deceit comes calling
And negativity lands
Cold cold heart
Hard done by you
Some things look better baby
Just passing through
And it's no sacrifice
Just a simple word
It's two hearts living
In two separate worlds
But it's no sacrifice
No sacrifice
It's no sacrifice at all
Mutual misunderstanding
After the fact
Sensitivity builds a prison
In the final act
We lose direction
No stone unturned
No tears to damn you
When jealousy burns

Purcell: Fairest Isle

Fairest isle, all isles excelling, Seat of pleasure and of love,
Venus here will choose her dwelling, And forsake her cyprian grove.
Cupid from his fav'rite nation, Care and envy will remove;
Jealousy that poisnous passion, And despair that dies for love.

Gentle murmurs sweet complaining, Sighs that blow the fire of love.
Soft repulses, kind disdaining, Shall be all the pains you prove.
Ev'ry swain shall pay his duty, Grateful ev'ry nymph shall prove;
And as these excel in beauty, Those shall be re-nowned for love.

Don't Cry For Me Argentina

[Eva:]
It won't be easy, you'll think it strange
When I try to explain how I feel
That I still need your love after all that I've done

You won't believe me
All you will see is a girl you once knew
Although she's dressed up to the nines
At sixes and sevens with you

I had to let it happen, I had to change
Couldn't stay all my life down at heel
Looking out of the window, staying out of the sun

So I chose freedom
Running around, trying everything new
But nothing impressed me at all
I never expected it to

[Chorus:]

Don't cry for me Argentina
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days
My mad existence
I kept my promise
Don't keep your distance

And as for fortune, and as for fame
I never invited them in
Though it seemed to the world they were all I desired

They are illusions
They are not the solutions they promised to be
The answer was here all the time
I love you and hope you love me

Don't cry for me Argentina

[chorus]

Have I said too much?
There's nothing more I can think of to say to you.
But all you have to do is look at me to know
That every word is true
