Majda Roumi Feat. Lara Fabian - Habibi - Adagio

Fayrouz - ya ana  فيروز يا أنا

You didn’t say goodbye, just slipped away,
Like perfume at the break of day.
No tear, no sound, no last caress—
Just silence dressed in your finesse.
You left no shoes beside the door,
But I still feel you in the floor.
The way you danced, the way you sighed—
Still lingers like a tide inside.

Was it love… or just the thrill?
The way you moved, the way you killed
My calm, my breath, my steady ground—
You turned it all around.

Still under my skin, like a whisper in wine,
You play in my rhythm, just out of time.
Still in my veins, like a moonlight spin,
I feel you dance beneath my skin.
Was it love… or just a sweet charade?
A kiss I sip but never fade.
One more night, one last refrain—
Spin me back to you again. 🎵

You smiled like jazz at 2 a.m.,
Too smooth to know where truth begins.
You dressed your words in honey tones,
I swallowed them like saxophone.
You didn’t stay, but you remain—
A note I hum through joy and pain.
It’s not your arms I miss the most—
It’s who I was inside your ghost.

Was it you… or just the dream?
A solo line in my routine.
You never stayed, but played so well—
I bought the magic that you sell.

Still under my skin, like a spice in the air,
You haunt the room, though you’re not there.
Still on my lips, like a song I knew,
One soft refrain that feels like you.
Was it love… or just a melody
That hit too sweet, then danced from me?
If that was love, I’d play it blind—
Loop the night and press rewind. 🎵

Some love is sugar… some is smoke.
Yours was rhythm, yours was joke.
A beat I chased through every bar,
A kiss that played me like guitar.

Still under my skin, like a pulse in the rain,
Still moving slow through joy and pain.
Still in my steps, still in my sway,
You dance with me when jazz starts to play.
If that was love… don’t let it end—
Just one more round, then we pretend…
You never left…
You never left… 🎵

Scratchings on a Wall
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

[intro]

"Words are mightier than the sword"
Words coined by those who write
They believe this clear delusion
When there are no swords in sight

When you have said it all
and have nothing more in mind
Just a few words on a wall
is all you've left behind

words written there for nothing
with no meaning, for no cause
words that once had seemed unending
like water from a hose

[instrumental]

Today I wonder about things
Why did I write those words
Did I think the world would change
I have no power and less range

I could have said anything at all
More crap thrown at the wall
A wall inside my mind
A wall that I have stood behind

I thought that words were action
That writing had meant doing
But you can tell by no reaction
I got no satisfaction

[instrumental]

When you have said it all
and have nothing more in mind
Just a few words on a wall

Words written there for nothing
with no meaning, for no cause
words that once had seemed unending
like water from a hose

I could have said it all
More crap thrown at the wall
A wall inside my mind
A wall that I have stood behind

I thought that words were action
That writing had meant doing
By you can tell by no reaction
I got no satisfaction

But you can tell by no reaction
I got no satisfaction

Scratchings on a Wall

On the Batshit Side
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey


[intro]
[piano]

More than a bit on the batshit side
That's what they said about her
A dark streak she could not hide
But she could sing like death itself

The woman sang the blues
She could bring you down to hell
She could make you believe it all
and could always cast a spell

I met her at a session
I was cleaning up the room
I was playing air guitar
All I had was a broom

[piano]

She walked in like a queen
I tried to run and hide
But I was not quick enough
And she called me to her side

I thought that I had had it
That I had lost my job again
But she asked if I would sing
A song about her pain

[piano]

What else could I do
I grabbed my broom and I pretended
She took it away from me
I thought our chat had ended

She said to come and see her
Wrote down her number on my hand
She worked with me for years
She helped me join the band

[bridge]

I will not ever forget her
Or what I was when I met her
As I stand here by her grave
All I am is what she made

[piano]

[clear singing]
More than a bit on the batshit side
That's what they said about her
A dark streak she could not hide
But she could sing like death itself

[clear singing]
I will not ever forget her
Or the way that I had met her
As I stand here by her grave
All I have is what she gave

[piano]

On the Batshit Side (B)

We Play Our Way
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

[intro]

We are running, running, running
We move fast, our engines humming
We are growing, growing, growing
We are big, and it is showing

We are taking, taking, taking
We need more, things need making
Talking faster, faster, faster
Never thinking 'bout disaster

[bridge]

We have one life, we gotta live it
If there's trouble, we gotta give it
We don't care, who was there
We're there now, might not be fair

[instrumental]

We come flying, from up there
We are above them, in the air
We got guns, we got iphones
We are tough, with big cojones

We will save them, from themselves
We will teach them, the true faith
They will help us take their wealth
We will put them in their place

We will take their riches home
They can't come it's all our own
Our land is just for us
They must stay, back of the bus

[instrumental]

We are Americans, we are the best
We always win, we won the West
We wear shorts, and fanny packs
There is nothing, that we lack

We are Americans, we are the best
We are bigger than the rest
We are taller, and much wider
We are nice, just like a spider

We are Americans, we are the best
What can I say, we came to play
If we can't win the local games
We change the rules, and play our way

We play our way
We play our way

!USA !USA !USA
!USA !USA !USA

[instrumental]

We Are Americans (A soul)

Be Patient
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

[intro]

We are a silly stupid people
We believe all our own lies
We tell ourselves that we're ok
While each day more children die

We are cowardly and lazy
We don't act at any cost
Our reactions surely crazy
We look like we are lost

We are a greedy nasty lot
We want all that we ain't got
We don't care how we get it
About the victims we forgot

[bridge]

But big changes coming soon
We can't all go to the moon
No more water no more food
No one standing where you stood

Just be patient, wait a bit
Watch TV, take one more hit
Just lay cozy in your bed
No one knows when they are dead

[instrumental]

But big changes coming soon
We can't all go to the moon
No more water no more food
No one standing where you stood

Just be patient, wait a bit
Watch TV, take one more hit
Just lay cozy in your bed
No one knows when they are dead

[instrumental]

I Love Madonna
(c) J. Murdock McInnes

[intro]

I took Madonna to a movie
we sat alone on the back row
She had other things in mind
and did not care about the show

She wanted to hold hands
But I did not understand
She was a famous movie star, and
I had never gone too far

[bridge]

I had to say Ok
I let her have her way
The lights all went away
And she began to play

I had a hard time keeping still
I felt other people watching
But she had a lot of skill
So I did not need a pill

[instrumental]

So I did not need a pill

She let me have her picture
She told me I was great
And left with a big laugh
I got her autograph

oooooooooohhhh

I took Madonna to a movie
I let her have her way
I am embarrassed to get up
So here I'll have to stay

Here I'll have to stay

[instrumental]

[outro]

I Love Madonna

Looking for the Zombies
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

I'm am looking for The Zombies
I'm am looking for The Troggs
I'm not looking for a soul
Who's  played The Isle of Dogs

I am not looking for the big guns
The ones who made it rich
I'm not looking for the freaks
Or one more crazy bitch

[bridge]

When I think about The Zombies
whatever time whatever season
I have to hear she's not there
i tell her no, because I care

[instrumental] 

When my mind is filled with Troggs
Wild things come to the front
any way you want me,
a girl like you is what I want

If Kinks is what you like
I can play with with them all day
and all of the night, and on a sunny afternoon
till Lola comes to stay

[bridge]

Lola breaks the bank
and Wild Thing is in the tank
but i do not need a reason
to choose Time of the Season

The Zombies nailed that one down
I would see them one more time
If Mr Argent's back in town
You know that I am down

[instrumental]

The Zombies nailed that one down
I would see them one more time
If Mr Argent's back in town
You know that I am down

[instrumental]

Looking for The Zombies

Sway With Me

يا راوي حكي حكاية
مادابك تكون رواية
حكي لي على ناس الزمان
حكي لي على ألف ليلة وليلة
وعلى لنجة بنت الغولة
وعلى ولد السلطان

حاجيتك ماجيتك
دنا بعيد من هادي دنيا
حاجيتك ماجيتك
كل واحد منا في قلبه حكاية

حكي وانسى بلي احنا كبار
في بالك رانا صغار
حكي لنا على الجنة حكي لنا على النار
على طير عمره ما طار
فهمنا معانى الدنيا

يا راوي حكي كما حكوا لك
ما تزيد ما نقص من عندك
كاين نشفوا على بالك
حكي لنسينا في هاد زمان
خلينا في كان يا ما كان

I write the lyrics; Mr. Alfonso Suno composes the music.  Working with the lovely Ms. Ai Ongaku, they create the arrangements.  Ms. Ongaku and her crowd are responsible for the performances.  My part in creating these tracks is very small. Nonetheless, I am to blame.  Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.
