Biografija

Cyndi Lauper rođena je u Queensu, New York. Karijeru je započela u bendu Blue Angel, a 1983. godine počela je vezu sa svojim menadžerom Davidom Wolffom, koji joj je pomogao izdati She's So Unusual, hit-album koji je od Lauperove napravio svjetski poznato ime. Album je bio mješavina tinejdžerskog pop-rocka i žešćih, gotovo punk-zvukova; najveći hit s albuma, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, ubrzo se etablirao kao omiljena pjesma žena diljem svijeta. 1984. Lauperova je za taj album osvojila i Grammy u kategoriji najboljeg novog izvođača, a postala je i prva žena s četiri uzastopna hita među prvih pet na ljestvici singlova.

Omot prve ploče Cyndi Lauper, She's So Unusual odlično prikazuje njen osebujan stil s početka '80-ih.

Na albumu su se također nalazile pjesme She Bop, o ženskoj masturbaciji, i romantična balada Time After Time, instant-klasik koji će poslije obraditi preko 70 izvođača. Lauperova je postala vrlo popularna među tinejdžerskom populacijom, zahvaljujući popularnom punk-imidžu iz kasnih '70-ih prilagođenom mainstream publici. U ovom stadiju karijere često je uspoređivana s Madonnom.

1986. godine, nakon što je snimila pjesmu za soundtrack filma Goonies, Lauperova izdaje svoj drugi album, True Colors. Album nešto zrelija zvuka dosegao je broj 4 na američkoj ljestvici singlova, a naslovna pjesma postala je njen drugi platinasti singl.

1988. pojavila se u glavnoj ulozi u neobičnoj komediji Vibes, koji su kritika i publika potpuno sasjekli. Pjesma koju je Lauperova snimila za soundtrack filma, Hole In My Heart (All the Way to China), također je komercijalno propao.

Treći album Cyndi Lauper, A Night to Remember iz 1989., iako toplo primljen kod kritike, nije bio komercijalno uspješan kao njegovi prethodnici i stvorio je tek jedan hit - I Drove All Night.

1990. godine pridružila se mnogim drugim slavnim gostima na ogromnom nastupu Rogera Watersa na Berlinskom zidu.

Nakon toga se odlučila na odmor od pjevanja, i ponovno se pojavila 1993. godine s hvaljenim albumom Hat Full of Stars, ali prodaja tog albuma bila je slaba, djelomično i zato što se, uz novi R&B prizvuk, u svojim tekstovima Lauperova osvrnula na teške teme, kao što su nasilje u obitelji i pobačaj.

1995. godine osvojila je Emmy u kategoriji najbolje gošće u humorističnoj TV-seriji za pojavljivanje u seriji Lud za tobom. Također, iste godine izdaje best of kompilaciju 12 Deadly Cyns... And Then Some.

Danas je Lauperova mnogo ozbiljnija, s jednobojnom kosom i ozbiljnijim stilom odijevanja vidimo je na omotu albuma At Last.

Njen album iz 1997., Sisters of Avalon, vratio ju je u središte pozornosti; sa tematikom još ozbiljnijom nego prije, vrlo je prihvaćen u gay zajednici zbog svog klupskog disco zvuka. Tom, tzv. "ružičastom" prizvuku potpomogle su i pjesme Ballad of Cleo and Joe koja govori o zamršenom dvostrukom životu transseksualne osobe i You Don't Know koja se bavi nezgodnom temom otkrivanja homoseksualnosti. Lauper je postala česta gošća na gay pride događanjima diljem svijeta.

2002. počela je s radom na albumu Naked City, koji je na koncu objavljen 2003. godine pod nazivom At Last, i dosegao ljestvice singlova u SAD i Australiji. 2005. nagrađena je Grammyjem u kategoriji najboje instrumentalne skladbe u pratnji vokala za svoju interpretaciju skladbe Unchained Melody na tom albumu.

Cyndi i danas ima veliku bazu obožavatelja i živi u New Yorku sa suprugom, glumcem Davidom Thorntonom, i njihovim djetetom.

"Maybe He'll Know (First Version)"


Maybe he'll know
I'm not so sure
Maybe he'll know
Maybe he'll be my cure
ah, ah, ah.

Maybe he'll know
I'm not so sure
Maybe he'll know
Maybe he'll be - oh

Something calls to me
I know, I know
I hear an echo start to pound like a drum, I'm
Chanting a song, anchor me-
But don't take too long... no, no, no, no

I got an anxious feeling
Got this ache engraved in me like stone-
Don't take too long
Say you'll never leave me - say you'll never go.
 
"Fade"


I think I'm walkin' down your street
I sense a silent shuffle to my heartbeat
Why cry, I'll just fade
Fade you away

I watch your window from the street
I guess I'll etch a vision in my daydreams of you
Of you, of you, but you

Never thought I'd be so proud-
But I will never live without you
Oh, oh, oh, oh, fade
Fade you away, I will fade, fade you away
I think I'm walkin' down your street...
 
"Anna Blue"


Anna Blue oh
Anna Blue oh
Anna

Not me, not you
Just time and a sigh
On a line look in fine print-
The small town dream
To be part of the scene
You can wear it with a style
In your eyes a story never spoken-

Anna Blue oh
Anne Blue oh
Anna

Just me, just you
Just a wide eyed girl
Turn around quick-
I'm walkin' my high heeled shoes
And I'll be talkin' pretty smooth
Like some souped up cosmo girl
In a stupifying world
But before I fall I wake up crying
Oh... when I sit back
I'll sigh and think...
 
"Can't Blame Me"


Baby I want the
Love you been savin'
Tell me the truth
Boy why you been waitin'
Oh, oh, oh, oh can't blame me

We could be sweethearts
We could be never
Did you forget
I love you forever
Oh, oh, oh, oh can't blame me

I can see by now
You don't want to know
Can't blame me if I love you so

I'll be your dancer
A silky eyed lady
Dreamin' of moonlight
Hopin' that maybe
Oh, oh, oh, oh can't blame me

We could be sweethearts...
 
"Late"


My oh my it's a quarter to eight
Don't shoot me down dreamboat I'm a late date
Don't ask me no questions I ain't got a smooth line,
Please a' wait a little longer tryin' to make it there on time

Tickety tock, oh the clock don't stop

Lazy, dizzy, daisy it's a quarter to whoops, uh, oh
Doin' nothing honey just a' thinkin' of you
So don't you give me no suggestions
while I ain't got the time
Won't ya move a little closer and a kiss
me one more time

Tickety tock, oh the clock don't stop

It doesn't matter cause
I know that you would love me too-

But I was late late late.
 
"Take A Chance"


I wanna run my fingers through your hair
Squeeze your hand and tell you that I care
Park in the dark and kiss goodnight
Thrill me h-h-hold me tight
C'mon pretty baby you could maybe take a chance with me

I'll fall still when you walk in the room
I'll look up and you'll be lookin' c-c-cool
Curled up smile upon your lips
One button low my heart just flips
C'mon pretty baby you could maybe take a chance with me

The stars complete the melody
Could you say you belong to me
And as they ride the milkyway
Baby, baby can I have this dance
Baby, baby can you take a chance someday-
Did I tell you now

I wanna...
 
"Just The Other Day"


Just the other day-
I heard you walked out on her
Just the other day-
I heard it's not forever

You say, anyway-
You said it's not like before
Just the other day-

Did she let you go
Did she let you go.

Just the other day-
You lost the girl you adored
Just the other day-
You boyish love was the cause
Did she cost you pain
You could have held out for more
Just the other day-

Did she let you go
Did she let you go

I see your walking alone
Will you still talk to me
If she's not by your side anymore.
 
"I'm Gonna Be Strong"


I can see
You're slipping away from me
And you're so afraid
That I'll plead with you to stay
But I'm gonna be strong
And let you go your way

Love is gone
There's no sense in holding on
And your pity now
Would be more than I could bare
But I'm gonna be strong
And pretend I don't care

I'm gonna be strong
And stand as tall as I can
I'm gonna be strong
And let you go along
And take it like a man

When you say it's the end
I'll hand you a line
I'll smile and say
Don't you worry I'm fine
But you'll never know darling
After you kiss me goodbye
How I'll break down and cry.
 
"Lorraine"


Long ago a lonely man stood
Off of a quiet avenue
A pretty girl in passing chanced to look
That's when he fell, fell for you

I listen to the rain
Pounding on the railing
The beat's a sweet, soft refrain
of how he found you LORRAINE

He's rocking on a porch you used to know
Here where he swore his love was true
He sips his drink and dreams the days of old
Of when he fell, fell for you

I listen to the rain...
 
"Everybody's Got An Angel"


Don't worry, everybody's got an angel
Sooner or later somebody's gonna love you well
There's no hurry
So don't worry
Cause you'll find the broken hearted
Fallen- fallen- now don't you worry
Cause everybody's got an angel.

Don't worry, everybody's got an angel
Sooner or later everybody's bound to tell
There's no hurry
So don't worry
Cause you'll find the broken hearted
Fallen- fallen- now don't you worry
Cause everybody's got an angel.
 
"Money Changes Everything"


She said I'm sorry baby I'm leaving you tonight
I found someone new he's waitin' in the car outside
Ah honey how could you do it
We swore each other everlasting love
She said well yeah I know but when
We did - there was one thing we weren't
Really thinking of and that's money

Money changes everything
Money, money changes everything
We think we know what we're doin'
That don't mean a thing
It's all in the past now
Money changes everything

They shake your hand and they smile
And they buy you a drink
They say we'll be your friends
We'll stick with you till the end
Ah but everybody's only
Looking out for themselves
And you say well who can you trust
I'll tell you it's just
Nobody else's money

Money changes everything
Money changes everything
We think we know what we're doin'
We don't pull the strings
It's all in the past now
Money changes everything

Money changes everything
Money changes everything
We think we know what we're doing
We don't know a thing
It's all in the past now

Money changes everything
Money changes everything
Money changes everything
 
"Girls Just Want To Have Fun"


I come home in the morning light
My mother says when you gonna live your life right
Oh mother dear we're not the fortunate ones
And girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun

The phone rings in the middle of the night
My father yells what you gonna do with your life
Oh daddy dear you know you're still number one
But girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have

That's all they really want
Some fun
When the working day is done
Girls - they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun

Some boys take a beautiful girl
And hide her away from the rest of the world
I want to be the one to walk in the sun
Oh girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have

That's all they really want
Some fun
When the working day is done
Girls - they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun,
They want to have fun,
They want to have fun...
 
"When You Were Mine"


When u were mine
I gave u all of my money
Time after time
U done me wrong
Cause, just like a train
U let all my friends come over and eat
And u were so strange
U didn't have the decency to change the sheets
Oh girl, when u were mine
I use to let u wear all my clothes
U were so fine
Maybe that's the reason that it hurt me so
I know, that you're goin with another guy
But I don't care, cause I love u baby that's no lie
Love u more mine than I did when u were mine
When u were mine
U were kindasorta my best friend
So I was blind
I let u fool around
I never cared
I never was the kind to make a fuss
When he was there
Sleepin in between the two of us
I know, that you`re goin with another guy
But I don't care, cause I love u baby that's no lie
Love u more than I did when u were mine
When u were mine
U were all I ever wanted to do
Now I spend my time
Following him whenever he's with u
I know that you're goin with another guy
But I don't care, cause I love u baby that's no lie
Love u more than I did when u were mine
 
"Time After Time"


Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick,
And think of you
Caught up in circles confusion -
Is nothing new
Flashback - warm nights -
Almost left behind
Suitcases of memories,
Time after -

Sometimes you picture me -
I'm walking too far ahead
You're calling to me, I can't hear
What you've said -
Then you say - go slow -
I fall behind -
The second hand unwinds

Chorus:
If you're lost you can look - and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you - I'll be waiting
Time after time

After my picture fades and darkness has
Turned to gray
Watching through windows - you're wondering
If I'm OK
Secrets stolen from deep inside
The drum beats out of time -

Chorus:
If you're lost...

You said go slow -
I fall behind
The second hand unwinds -

Chorus:
If you're lost...
...Time after time
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time
 
"She Bop"


We-hell-I see them every night in tight blue jeans -
In the pages of a blue boy magazine
Hey I've been thinking of a new sensation
I'm picking up - good vibration -
Oop - she bop

Do I wanna go out with a lion's roar
Huh, yea, I wanna go south n get me some more
Hey, they say that a stitch in time saves nine
They say I better stop - or I'll go blind
Oop - she bop - she bop

She bop--he bop--a--we bop
I bop--you bop--a--they bop
Be bop--be bop--a--lu--she bop,
I hope He will understand
She bop--he bop--a--we bop
I bop--you bop--a--they bop
Be bop--be bop--a--lu--she bop,
Oo--oo--she--do--she bop--she bop

(whistle along here)...

Hey, hey - they say I better get a chaperone
Because I can't stop messin' with the danger zone
No, I won't worry, and I won't fret
Ain't no law against it yet
Oop - she bop - she bop

She bop - he bop - we bop...
 
"All Through The Night"


All through the night
I'll be awake and I'll be with you
All through the night
This precious time when time is new
Oh, all through the night today
Knowing that we feel the same without saying

We have no past we won't reach back
Keep with me forward all through the night
And once we start the meter clicks
And it goes running all through the night
Until it ends there is no end

All through the night
stray cat is crying so stray cat sings back
All through the night
They have forgotten what by day they lack
Oh under those white street lamps
There is a little chance they may see

We have no past we won't reach back
Keep with me forward all through the night
And once we start the meter clicks
And it goes running all through the night
Until it ends there is no end

Oh the sleep in your eyes is enough
Let me be there let me stay there awhile

We have no past we won't reach back
Keep with me forward all through the night
And once we start the meter clicks
And it goes running all through the night
Until it ends there is no end
Keep with me forward all through the night
And once we start the meter clicks
And it goes running all through the night
Until it ends there is no end
 
"Witness"


You're sorry now
And you'll change some how -
And I am what you need to get out, but -
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be a witness

Cause I'm crawling back
I'm searchin the right track -
I'm standin - at last I'm sure
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be a witness
No, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh - witness
No, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh - witness

Jailbird chained to walk
How you used to - talk, talk, talk -
But the melody - none at all my love -
And I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be a witness
I don't wanna be
No I don't...
Oh, oh, oh, oh...witness - witness -
Witness - witness -
 
"I'll Kiss You"


Went down to the local gypsy
And I handed her the same line -
'You know what I want from you
So honey won't ya gimme #9'
Cause you know lately I ain't feelin so great -
Last time she gave me love potion #8
And you know pretty baby how I think you're pretty smart
But one sip from this bottle and I'll tear you all apart -

The gypsy told me that the first thing
That would happen you get dizzy
Second thing you better make sure
That your boyfriend isn't busy
Cause you won't wanna eat
And you won't wanna drink
You won't wanna talk
And you won't wanna think
My mother used to tell me not to kiss on this first date
This time when I see you, you know I ain't gonna wait!

I'll Kiss you
Gonna corner you and not let you go
I'll Kiss you
Don't tell me nothing - I - I - don't wanna know
And twidely - dee - and twidely - dum
I'll Kiss you, I'll Kiss you, I'll Kiss you

Hopped into a taxi, and I told the driver
Got to get me cross town
Killed the bottle, started seeing double
When the driver turned around
And though I was a failure with love potion #8
#9 was different and the hour's getting late
Now I'm standing on the corner
Everyone looks great to me
And if you come and get me take me where I want to be

I'll Kiss you...
...I'll Kiss you
I'll Kiss you
 
"He's So Unusual"


You talk of sweeties bashful sweeties
I've got one of those
Oh he's handsome as can be
But he worries me

He goes to college
And gathers knowledge
Oo, what that boy knows
He's up in his Latin and Greek
But in his chicin' he's weak cause,
When I want some lovin'
And I gotta have some lovin'
He says please stop it please
he's so unusual...
 
"Yeah Yeah"


Through the burning sun
And the driving rain
Over the sea
And across the plain
Oh I'll ask you once
And I'll ask you again
Won't you be my love
Won't you be my friend

Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Well the lights are low
And the hour is late
Don't you want me baby
Through your garden gate
Don't you feel it coming
And it feels so strong
I will never ever ever
Ever do you wrong

Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Chorus:]
Now the mountain is high
And the river is deep
We always knew
And we hold the key
Violets blue
Roses red
Love you baby
Till I'm dead

Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
 
"Change Of Heart"


Here I am
Just like I said I would be
I'm your friend
Just like you think it should be
Did you think I would stand here and lie
As our moment was passing us by
Oh I am here

Waiting for your change of heart
It just takes a beat
To turn it around
Yes I'm waiting for your change of heart
At the edge of my seat
Please turn it around

Days go by
Leaving me with a hunger
I could fly
Back to when we were younger
When adventures like cars we would ride
And the years lied ahead still untried
While I stand here

Waiting for your change of heart...

Blind leading blind
Never hear the laughter
Search through time
Nothing reveals the answer
If it's truth that you're looking to find
It is nowhere outside of your mind
I bide my time
Waiting for your change of heart...
 
"Maybe He'll Know (Second Version)"


Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh

Maybe he'll know
I'm not so sure
Maybe he'll know, well
Maybe he'll be my cure

Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh

Maybe he'll know, well
I'm not so sure
Maybe he'll know why
Maybe he'll be, oh oh

Something calls to me,
I know
I hear an echo start to pound
Like a drum
Chanting a song, anchor me
But don't take too long, no no
I got this anxious feeling
I got this ache engraved
In me like stone
Don't take too long
Say you'll never leave me
Say you'll never go
No no no no

Oh oh, oh oh, ...

[repeat song and sing along]
 
"Boy Blue"


You never knew yourself well enough
But she never knew you at all
And when she put you out on your own
It may have stolen your innocence
But not your soul

Tell me where is little boy blue
You'll find him standing always
One step ahead
Fast a little, shy a little, boy blue
Wise blood runs warms and deep
On the street
... Kids walking, just a kid walking

You send a letter with photographs
And I'll tuck them under my dreams
And if we wake up old beyond our years
Not quite as brave as we seem
It's just the pain that never disappears

Tell me where is boy blue
You'll find him standing always one step ahead...

Dance a little, cry a little...

Where are you boy blue
Where are you...
