RUPERT HOLMES-"ESCAPE (THE PINA COLADA SONG)"
WENT TO #1 IN 1979.
I was tired of my lady, we'd been together too long
Like a worn-out recording, of a favorite song
So while she lay there sleeping, I read the paper in bed
And in the personals column, there was this letter I read
"If you like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain
If you're not into yoga, if you have half-a-brain
If you like making love at midnight, in the dunes of the cape
I'm the lady you've looked for, write to me, and escape"
I didn't think about my lady, I know that sounds kind of mean
But me and my old lady, had fallen into the same old dull routine
So I wrote to the paper, took out a personal ad
And though I'm nobody's poet, I thought it wasn't half-bad
"Yes, I like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain
I'm not much into health food, I am into champagne
I've got to meet you by tomorrow noon, and cut through all this red tape
At a bar called O'Malley's, where we'll plan our escape"
So I waited with high hopes, then she walked in the place
I knew her smile in an instant, I knew the curve of her face
It was my own lovely lady, and she said, "Oh, it's you"
And we laughed for a moment, and I said, "I never knew"
"That you liked Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain
And the feel of the ocean, and the taste of champagne
If you like making love at midnight, in the dunes of the cape
You're the love that I've looked for, come with me, and escape"
"If you like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain
And the feel of the ocean, and the taste of champagne
If you like making love at midnight, in the dunes of the cape
You're the love that I've looked for, come with me, and escape"

* We Don't Talk Anymore
Used to think that life was sweet
Used to think we were so complete
I can't believe you'd throw it away
Used to feel we had it made
Used to feel we could sail away
Can you imagine how I feel today
Well, it seems a long time ago
You were the lonely one
Now it comes to letting go
You are the only one
Do you know what you've done
It's so funny
How we don't talk anymore
It's so funny
Why we don't talk anymore
But I ain't losing sleep
And I ain't counting sheep
It's so funny
How we don't talk anymore
Oooooooh, we don't talk
Well, it really doesn't matter to me
I guess you're leaving was meant to be
It's down to you now
You wanna be free
Well I hope you know which way to go
You're on your own again
Don't come crying to me
When you're the lonely one
Remember what you've done
It's so funny
How we don't talk anymore
It's so funny
Why we don't talk anymore
But I ain't losing sleep
And I ain't counting sheep (sheeeeep)
No, no, no
It's so funny how we don't talk anymore
Oooooooh, we don't talk
Whoooooo, we don't talk
But I ain't no, losing sleep
No, I ain't counting sheep (sheeeeep)
No, no, no ,no
It's so funny
How we don't talk anymore
