Perfect world (Hartley / Sting)

There are despots and dictators
political manipulators
there are blue bloods with the intellects of fleas
there are kings and catty tyrants
who are so lacking in refinements
they'd be better suited swinging from the trees

He was born and raised to rule
no one has ever been this cool
in a thousand years of aristocracy
an enigma and a mystery
in Mesoamerican history
the quintessence of perfection that is he

Movie Version Single Version
He's the sovereign lord of the nation
he's the hippest cat in creation
he's the alpha, the omega, A to Z
and this perfect world will spin
around his every little whim
cause this perfect world begins and ends with - ME
He's the sovereign lord of the nation
he's the hippest dude in creation
he's a hep cat in the emperor's new clothes
years of such selective breeding
generations have been leading
to this miracle of life that we all know

What's his name ? (Kuzco)
that's his name (Kuzco)
he's the king of the world (Kuzco)
is he hip or what ? (Kuzco) - yeah

He's the sovereign lord of the nation
he's the hippest cat in creation
he's the alpha, the omega, A to Z
and this perfect world will spin
around his every little whim
cause this perfect world begins and ends with him

What's his name ?
Kuzco, Kuzco, Kuzco

Kuzco (that's his name)
Kuzco, Kuzco (is he hip or what)
Kuzco (don't you know he's the king of the world ?)
Kuzco-(oh yeah) ooooh (ow)

Reprise:
You'd be the coolest dude in the nation
or the hippest cat in creation
but if you ain't got friends then nothing's worth the fuss
a perfect world will come to be
when everybody here can see
that a perfect world begins and ends
a perfect world begins and ends
a perfect world begins and ends with us

My funny friend and me (Hartley / Sting)

In the quiet time of evening
when the stars assume their patterns
and the day has made his journey
and we wondered just what happened
to the life we knew before the world changed
when not a thing I held was true
but you were kind to me and you reminded me
that the world is not my playground
there are other things that matter
and when a simple needs protecting
my illusions all would shatter
but you stayed in my corner
the only world I know was upside down
and now the world and me, I know you carry me

You see the patterns in the big sky
those constellations look like you and I
just like the patterns in the big sky
we could be lost we could refuse to try
but we made it through in the dark night
would those lucky guys turn out to be
but that unusual blend of my funny friend and me

I'm not as clever as I thought I was
I'm not the boy I used to be because
you showed me something different, you showed me something pure
I always seemed so certain but I was really never sure
but you stayed and you called my name
when others would have walked out on a lousy game
and you could've made it through
but your funny friend and me

You see the patterns in the big sky
those constellations look like you and I
that tiny planet in a bigger guy
I don't know whether I should laugh or cry
just like the patterns in the big sky
we'll be together till the end is nigh
don't know the answer or the reason why
we'll stick together til the day we die
if I had to do this all a second time
I won't complain or make a fuss
when the angels sing that that unlikely blend
are those two funny friends
that's us

Snuff out the light (Yzma's song) (Hartley / Sting)

When a woman acquires a certain age
and the men who adored you no longer swoon
it pays to avoid the sunlit days
and live by the light of the kindly moon
but the moon grows old, just like us all
and her beautiful years are done
so now she prays through endless days
to take her revenge on the sun

When I was a girl at my daddy's side
papa, the royal mortician
revealed to me in secret signs
the mark of a magician

And daddy was no dummy
did outrageous things with a mummy
and often the stiffs that he would shrive
would look better dead than they did alive

I studied well I learnt the trade
I thought my looks would never fade
if I could find that recipe
to give eternal youth to me

It was always my ambition
to use papa's tuition
and gain some small remission
from the vagaries of time

Every little ray of sunshine robs me of my youth
who to blame - who the one - who to curse ?
you know the only on to blame
would be my enemy the sun

Snuff out the light, claim your right
to a world of darkness
snuff out the light, Neophytes
of a world of darkness

Supai baby turn me on
every wrinkle soon be gone
I could squeeze myself with glee
the promises you made to me

I've really stopped at nothing
murder, treachery, and lying
whatever it takes to keep my looks
you really can't blame a girl for trying

Snuff out the light, claim your right
to a world of darkness
snuff out the light, Neophytes
of a world of darkness

Snuff out the light, claim your right
to a world of darkness

snuff out the light, here tonight

Apparitions of eternal darkness
spiraling in circles through the night
creatures of beguiling blackness
no more squinting in the light

Bats and owls and coiled sea dragons
crocodile and carrion beasts
swirling in the growing darkness
join us in the coming feast

Spectre wraith and apparition
spirit demon phantom shade
salamander serpents dog-faced devils
dance and watch the dying sunlight fade

Walk the llama llama (Jay Demarcus / Sting)

Walk the llama llama
walk the llama llama
take in the panorama
walk the llama llama - llama llama
don't have to be a drama
walk the llama llama - llama llama
no one could be calmer
walk the llama llama
walk the llama llama
double L.A.M.A

Fluff up your fur
stick out your chest
walk the llama llama
now your looking your best
keep out the wind
keep out the snow
wool by llama from head to toe

Walk the llama llama - llama llama
take in the panorama
walk the llama llama
walk the llama llama
double L.A.M.A

Cool in the summer
warm in the cold
a perfect fashion statement
for the young and the old
a cloak for the priest
a hat for the farmer
you could be looking at the emperor's pajamas

That's way the llama walks so proud
that's way the llama holds his head up in the crowd
all of us applaud his generosity
he's more than just a passing curiosity
he covers up our pride
and all those things we have to hide
in any civilized society

Walk the llama llama

One day she'll love me (Shawn Colvin / Sting)

I'd never imagined before
that the world could be turned on it's head
I'd never have thought
to be here in this place
I'd never have dreamt that in love
I'd be lost and so easily led
I guess I was caught
by that hint of a smile on her face

I thought I was happy
when my life was as easy as pie
but that was the past
of an ignorant youth
I'm falling in love with the girl
but I'm forced to be living a lie
and she'd never love me
if she knew the truth

Is it asking too much
if I pray for a miracle, miracle
that one day she'll love me
one day she'll say I care

Although he's changing day by day
he finds these tender words of love
impossible to say
he walks in the room
and I'm never quite sure
if he's trying to be somebody else
I'm liking him better that he's
not his arrogant self
perhaps I'm expecting too much
of a miracle, miracle
one day he'll love me
one day he'll say I love you
and I will love him until I die

Distant star, cast your light on my life

And one by one
I didn't anticipate feeling the power of love
in this way

And day by day
we've never been closer than this
and I find myself daring to pray

We'll find these tender ways of love
impossible to disobey

One day she'll love me
one day he'll say I love you
and I will love her

Until the moment
our hearts stop beating
and we are light
