red hot valentine special







These songs are dedicated to Jurgen and Nikita, our favorite sweethearts.  No DSM diagnoses here--they're practically the only sane ones in Section!  Now Michael is another story...

The first song, "Secret Agent Man," was the American  theme song for Patrick McGoohan's TV series from the 1960s, the prequel, if you will, to our favorite TV series, The Prisoner. The next two, Now or Never and Love Me Tender, were, of course, done by Elvis Presley.  We've only mauled them slightly.




Secret Agent Man
(dedicated to Jurgen)

There's a man who leads a life of danger.
To everyone he meets he stays a stranger
[except Nikita, oooh-la-la]
With every move he makes,
Another chance he takes.
Odds are he won't live to see tomorrow.

Secret Agent Man.
Secret Agent Man.
They've given you to Section.
And your freedom taken away.

She’s the only pretty face that you trust.
A pretty face that love you must.
Ooh be careful what you say.
Or you give yourself away.
Odds are you won't live to see tomorrow.
[especially if Michael has a say in it…]

Secret Agent Man.
Secret Agent Man.
They've given you to Section.
And your freedom taken away.

Blowing up all the bad guys one day
Hiding from Operation’s spies the next.
Oh don't let the wrong word slip.
Kissing her persuasive lips.
Odds are you won't live to see tomorrow.

Secret Agent Man.
Secret Agent Man.
They've given you to Section.
And your freedom taken away.





Now or Never
(dedicated to Jurgen from Nikita)

It’s now or never,
Come hold me tight
Kiss me my darling,
Be mine tonight
Tomorrow will be too late,
[especially if Michael finds out]
It’s now or never
My love won’t wait.

When I first saw you
With your scowl so severe
My mind was worried,
With Michael unrelenting
But you’re so sweet now
Your smile a delight, wow
Now that we’re alone
The time is here at last.
[no thanks to that jerk Michael]

It’s now or never,
Watch out for my gun
Kiss me my darling,
Be mine on the run
Tomorrow will be too late,
It’s now or never
My love won’t wait.
[unless I get a damn “Josefina” phone call…]




Love Me Tender
(dedicated to Jurgen from Nikita)

Love me secret,
Love me cool,
Never make me cry.
No, you’re not such a fool
Not like that other guy
[Mr. Sourpuss Michae].

Love me secret,
Love me true,
Not my emotions kill
[like you know who…]
For my darlin’ I love you,
And I always will.

Love me secret,
Love me rough,
[ooh, not too kinky now…]
Take me to your heart.
If Michael frets, it’s too tough
And we’ll never part.
[at least for three episodes…]

Love me tender,
Love me pure,
Tell me you are mine.
I won’t be Michael’s, that’s for sure
Till the end of time.
[or at least till one of us gets blown up,
shot, maimed or brainwashed…]


When at last my dreams come true
Darling this I know
We’ll get the hell out of this dive
Any place we can go.
[that doesn’t have TVs, spies,
surveillance cameras, tape recorders…]
