Den da rainstorm came ovah Anansi 
An' Anansi felt Anansi's spirit break 
Anansi had lost all of Anansi's belief choo see 
An' realized Anansi's mistake 
But time t'rough a prayah ta Anansi 
An' all 'round Anansi became still 

Anansi need love, love's divine 
Please forgive Anansi now Anansi sees dat Anansi's been blind 
Give Anansi love, love's what Anansi needs ta help Anansi know Anansi's name 

T'rough da rainstorm came sanctuary 
An' Anansi felt Anansi's spirit fly 
Anansi had found all of Anansi's reality 
Anansi realizes what it takes 

'Cause Anansi's need love, love's divine 
Please forgive Anansi now Anansi sees dat Anansi's been blind 
Give Anansi love, love's what Anansi needs ta help Anansi know Anansi's name 

Oh Anansi doan bet, doan pray 
Show Anansi how ta live an' promise Anansi choo woan forsake 
'Cause love can help Anansi know Anansi's name 

Well Anansi tries ta say dere's nuttin' wrong 
But inside Anansi felt Anansi lyin' all alone 
But da message here was plain ta see 
Believe in Anansi

Please forgive Anansi now Anansi sees dat Anansi's been blind 
Give Anansi love, love be what Anansi needs ta help Anansi know Anansi's name

Goodnight, Anansi's angel 
Time ta close yer eyes 
An' save dese questions fer an'nuddah day 
Anansi t'inks Anansi knows what choo've been asking Anansi 
Anansi t'inks choo know what Anansi's been tryin' ta say 
Anansi promised Anansi would nevah leave choo 
An' choo should always know 
Wherevah choo may go 
No mattah where choo be 
Anansi nevah will be far away 

Goodnight, Anansi's angel 
Now it be time ta sleep 
An' still so many t'in's Anansi wants ta say 
Remembah all da songs choo sang fer Anansi 
When we went sailin' on an emerald bay 
An' like a boat out on da ocean 
Anansi's rockin' choo ta sleep 
Da watah's dark 
An' deep inside dis ancient heart 
Choo'll always be a part of Anansi 

Goodnight, Anansi's angel 
Now it be time ta dream 
An' dream how wonderful yer life will be 
Someday yer child may cry

Someday we'll all be gone 
But lullabyes go on an' on...

But dere's nuttin' at all 

Put on Anansi's boots, Anansi den find dat 
She be still in her pajamas 
Den found in a dream

She be wit' da sun

An' roam da streets 
Canna see da way out 
An' so use da stars 
She sits fer eternity 
An' den climbs out 

She be da glowing sun 
So come out

Outta control

Dat it be now compulsory

Fer Peejee

Choo see 'em comin' at choo ev'ry night 
Strung on pretension dey fall for choo at first sight 
Choo know dere business--choo t'ink it be a bore 
Dey make choo restless--it be nuttin' choo ain't seen before 
Get 'round town, spend yer time on da run 
Choo nevah let down...say choo do it fer fun 
Nevah miss a play, dough choo make quite a few 
Choo give it all away when ev'rybody wants choo 


Choo crave attention--choo can nevah say 
Throw yer affections any way da wind blows 
Choo always make it--you're on top of the scene 
Choo sell da copy like da covah of a magazine 
Puttin' on da eyes 'til dere's nobody else 
Choo nevah realize what choo do ta yourself 
Da t'in's dat dey see make da daily reviews 
Choo nevah get free when ev'rybody wants choo 


Ev'rybody knows choo 
Ev'rybody snows choo 
Ev'rybody needs choo...leads choo...bleeds choo 


Nights of confusion an' impossible dreams 
Days at da mirrah, patchin' up 'round da seams 
Choo got yer glory--choo paid for it all 
Choo take yer pension in loneliness an' alcohol 
Say goodbye ta conventional ways 
Choo canna escape da hours--choo lose track of da days 
Da more choo unnahstand, seems da more like choo do 
Choo nevah get away...ev'rybody wants choo 

Fer Peejee (again - a la Mischief)

((This was a VERY specific request for a very specific song. Blame Elaran for this choice...))

Now ev'rybody - have choo heard 
If yer in da game, den da stroke's da word 
Doan take no rhythm - doan take no style 
Got a thirst fer killing - grab yer vile... 

Choo put yer right hand out...give a firm hand-shake 
Talk ta Anansi 'bout da one big break.. 
Spread da ear pollution bot' far an' wide... 
Keep yer contributions by yer side an' stroke Anansi, stroke Anansi... 

Could be a winnah girl, choo move quite well... 
Choo got yer numbeah down... 
Say choo be a winnah girl - woman choo be jus' a sinnah now 

Choo put yer left foot out - keep it all in place 
Work yer way right inta Anansi's case 
First choo try ta bed Anansi - choo make Anansi's backbone slide... 
But when choo find choo bled Anansi - skip on by... 
Keep on - stroke Anansi, stroke Anansi 

Give Anansi da business all night long... 
Yer so togeddah girl... 
Say choo be a winnah but woman choo be jus' a sinnah now 

Bettah listen now...said it ain't no joke 
Let yer conscience fail choo...jus' do da stroke 
Doan choo take no chances...keep yer eye on top 
Do yer fancy dances...choo canna stop, choo jus' stroke 

Fer Meris

Far off in da distance, a shape in da night, alright 
On a mission of mercy, if da price be right 
He tries ta possess her an' she bites 

It be a ritual slayin', but da tables be turned, oh no 
An' now he's prayin', but it be his turn ta burn 
Like a thief in da night - she breaks inta his heart 
Like a thief in da night - she nevah leaves her mark 
In a hotel chambah, on a cryptic note 
'Cos where dere's fiah, dere's gotta be smoke, oh no 
Footsteps in da twilight, an' red nails 'round his throat 

It be a ritual slayin', wit'out strings attached, oh no 
An' now he's prayin', but dere's no turnin' back 
Like a thief in da night - she breaks inta his heart 
Like a thief in da night 

Like a thief in da night - she never leaves her mark 
Like a thief in da night - alright, alright 
Like a thief in da night - breaks inta his heart 
Like a thief in da night - alright, alright 
Like a thief in da night - she nevah leaves her mark 
Like a thief in da night

Save da dance fer an'nuddah life

Da days of dreamin' and bein' in love be precious treasuahs 
Aftah lessons when Anansi'd like ta go on chattin' endlessly

So as not ta be carried 'long da rush of peoples

Forevah sealed in da pieces of time dat passes by

"Wherever we go be okay,"

Now what may have been 
Done been stopped by time 

On dat night, dat was too long 
Anansi had a dream where choo left Anansi 
Starin at a foreign sky 
Anansi hugged da loneliness 

Anansis fallen teahs 
Be pilin up on da winds of time 
At da end 
Anansi feels yer breath 

Dry yer teahs wit love 
Dry yer teahs wit love 

Lonelinessyer silent whispah 
Fills a rivah of teahs trough da night 
Memorychoo nevah let Anansi cry 
An choo, choo nevah said goodbye 
Sometimes our teahs blinded da love 
We lost our dreams long da way 
But Anansi nevah tought chood trade yer soul ta da fates 
Nevah tought chood leave Anansi lone 

Time trough da rain has set Anansi free 
Sands of time will keep yer memory 
Love evahlastin fades away 
Alive witin yer beatless heart 

Dry yer teahs wit love 
Dry yer teahs wit love 

My fallen tears 
Be piling up on da winds of time 
Dis feeling at da end 
Makes Anansis blue rose change* 
Dry yer teahs wit love 
Dry yer teahs wit love 

Anansis fallen tears be piled on da winds of time again 
At da end Anansi can feel yer breat 
Dry yer teahs wit love

Choo would have found what love be 
If choo could have taught Anansi what be on yer mind

Fer now Anansi will try ta live fer choo 
An fer...

Try ta live da love, da dreams,

We be young

Searchin' our hearts fer so long 
Bot' of us knowin' 
Love be a battlefield 

Yer beggin' Anansi ta go, yer makin' Anansi stay 
Why do choo hurt Anansi so bad 
It would help Anansi ta know 
Does Anansi stand in yer way, or be Anansi da best t'in' choo've had 
Believe Anansi, Anansi canna tell choo why 
But Anansi be trapped by yer love an' Anansi's chained ta yer side 

We be young 
Heartache ta heartache we stand 
No promises, no demads 
Love be a battlefield 

We be strong, no once can tell us we be wrong 
Searchin' our hearts fer so long 
Bot' of us knowin' 
Love be a battlefield 

We be losin' control 
Will choo turn Anansi away or touch Anansi deep inside 
An' befoah dis gets old, will it still feel da same 
Dere's no way dis will die 
But if'n we get much closer, I could lose control 
An' if'n yer heart surrendahs, choo'll need Anansi ta hold 

We be young 
Heartache ta heartache we stand 
No promises, no demands 
Love be a battlefield 

We be strong, no one can tell us we be wrong 
Searchin' our hearts fer so long 
Bot' of us knowin'

Da wisdom of a fool woan set choo free 
But dat's da way dat it goes 
An' it be what nobody knows 
An' ev'ry day Anansi's confusion grows 
Ev'ry time Anansi see choo t'ree fallin' 
Anansi gets down on Anansi's knees an' pray s 
Anansi's waitin' fer da final moment 
Choo t'ree say da words dat Anansi canna say 

Anansi feels fine an' Anansi feels good 
Anansi feels like Anansi nevah should 
Whenever Anansi gets dis way 
Anansi jus' doan know what ta say 
Why canna we be ourselves like we be yestahday 
Anansi's not sure what dis could mean 
Anansi doan t'ink choo be what choo t'ree seem 
Anansi do admit ta Anansi's self 
Dat if'n Anansi hurts someone else 
Den Anansi'll nevah see just what we all be meant ta be 
Ev'ry time Anansi sees choo t'ree fallin' 
Anansi gets down on Anansi's knees an' prays 
Anansi be waitin' fer da final moment 
Choo t'ree say da words dat Anansi canna say 
Ev'ry time Anansi see choo t'ree fallin' 
Anansi'll get down on Anansi's knees an' prays 
Anansi be waitin' fer da final moment 
Choo t'ree say da words dat Anansi canna say...

From lashes ta ashes 
An' from lust ta dust 
In yer sweetest torment 
Anansi be lost 
An' no heaven can help us 
Ready, willin', an' able 
Ta lose it all 
Fer a kiss so fatal 
An' so worn 

Oh it be heartache ev'ry moment 
From da start 'til da end 
It be heartache ev'ry moment 
Wit' choo 
Deepah inta our heavenly sufferin' 
Our fragile souls be fallin' 
It be heartache ev'ry moment 
Baby wit' choo 

An' we sense da dangah 
But doan wanna give up 
'Cause dere's no smile of da Light 
Wit'out da wrath of da gods 

Oh it be heartache ev'ry moment 
From da start 'til da end 
It be heartache ev'ry moment 
Wit' choo 
Deepah inta our heavenly suffahin' 
Our fragile souls be fallin' 
It be heartache ev'ry moment 
Baby wit' choo 
Anansi's fel darlin', wit' choo 

From lashes ta ashes 
An' from lust ta dust 
In yer sweetest torment 
Anansi be lost 
An' we sense da dangah 
But doan wanna give up 

Oh it be heartache ev'ry moment 
From da start 'til da end 
It be heartache ev'ry moment 
Wit' choo 
Deepah inta our heavenly sufferin' 
Our fragile souls be fallin' 
It be heartache ev'ry moment wit' choo 
Dat's right

Someday when Anansi be awfully low 
When da world be cold 
Anansi will feel a glow 
Jus' t'inkin' of choo 
An' da way choo look tanight 

Oh, but yer lovely 
Wit' yer smile so warm 
An' yer cheeks so soft 
Dere be nuttin' fer Anansi ta love choo 
Jus' da way choo look tanight 

Wit' each word, yer tenderness grows 
Tearin' Anansi's fear apart 
An' dat laugh dat wrinkles yer nose 
Touches Anansi's foolish heart 

Lovely, nevah nevah change 
Keep dat breathless change 
Woan choo please arrange it 
Cause Anansi, Anansi loves choo 
Jus' da way choo look tonight 

Jus' da way choo look tonight
