Tombac
Tombac, as it is spelled in French, or Tombak, is a brass alloy with high copper content and 5-20% zinc content.Tin, lead or arsenic may be added for colouration. It is a cheap malleable alloy mainly used for medals, ornament, decoration and some munitions. In older use, the term may apply to brass alloy with a zinc content as high as 28%-35%.
Etymology
The term tombak is derived from tembaga, an Indonesian/Malay word of Javanese origin meaning copper. Tembaga entered Dutch usage concurrent with their colonisation of Indonesia. Likely, the term was used generically to describe Indonesian high-copper brass items, including gamelan gongs. It is one of the very few Indonesian loan words used in English, German, or Dutch.

CAN'T GET YOU OUTTA MY MIND
by: Tommy PagePage Tommy
From The Heart
Can't Get You Out Of My Mind
(Written by Tommy Page and L. Russell Brown)
I fall to pieces when I hear your name
Well my concentration somehow isn't the same
I think about you from the moment I rise
I see visions of you when I close my eyes
No baby I, I can't see
Living my life without you next to me
Chorus
Oh girl, I can't get you outta my mind
Can't get you outta my mind
And I can't get you outta my mind
Sometimes I wish that we could run away
So we could be together every night and day
I'd love to spend my whole life through
On a tropical island all alone with you
Oh we were meant to be
In each other's arms for eternity
You know that I'll love you forever
Wherever you are, no metter how far
