Sometimes late when things are real
And people share the gift of gab between themselves Some are quick to take the bait And catch the perfect prize that waits among the shelves But Oz never did give nothing to the Tin Man That he didn't, didn't already have And Cause never was the reason for the evening Or the tropic of Sir Galahad. So please believe in me When I say I'm spinning round, round, round, round Smoke glass stain bright color Image going down, down, down, down Soapsuds green like bubbles Oh, Oz never did give nothing to the Tin Man That he didn't, didn't already have And Cause never was the reason for the evening Or the tropic of Sir Galahad So please believe in me When I say I'm spinning round, round, round, round Smoke glass stain bright color Image going down, down, down, down Soapsuds green like bubbles No, Oz never did give nothing to the Tin Man That he didn't, didn't already have And Cause never was the reason for the evening Or the tropic of Sir Galahad So please believe in me |

Hey, Daddy just lost his pay
What did he do it for It never made it through our door He drank the week away What can a family say There must be a better way Now, Mama don't start to cry Let's give him another try Pick up the telephone Tell him you want him home To sit and watch the evenings pass And readin' the Leaves of Grass I'm caught in a closing door It's pinning me to the floor Now, Mama don't start to cry Let's give him another try I'm caught in a closing door It's pinning me to the floor Now, Mama don't start to cry Let's give him another try When we're old and gray And the things we say Are the things we rarely mean So why cause a scene When things ain't what they seem 'Cause the end result's the same Now what can a family say There must be a better way Now, Mama don't start to cry Let's give him another try |

This is for all the lonely people
Thinking that life has passed them by Don't give up until you drink from the silver cup And ride that highway in the sky This is for all the single people Thinking that love has left them dry Don't give up until you drink from the silver cup You never know until you try Well, I'm on my way Yes, I'm back to stay Well, I'm on my way back home Hit it This is for all the lonely people Thinking that life has passed them by Don't give up until you drink from the silver cup She'll never take you down or never give you up You'll never know until you try |

Bells ring in in my ear
Voices I hear Whispering daily to me Love in your fire High on a wire When I know you're near me God, I'm glad to see you I thought you'd left me far away I wouldn't give much to be you But I want you to know I feel this way All over the world Flags are being unfurled Waving before the dawning I'm watching the show The last one to know Which way that things are going God, I'm glad to know you I thought you'd left me far away I wouldn't give much to be you But I want you to know I feel this way Cars fighting their way Out of L.A. On a Sunday morning I'm watching the show The last one to know Which way that things are going God, I'm glad to see you I thought you'd left me far away I wouldn't give much to be you But I want you to know I feel this way God, I'm glad to know you |

Orange and yellow and purple and green
The lights of the city at night set the scene Stumble through the bars of forget-me-not lane Sparkle through the glitter but don't show the pain In Hollywood Underneath a golden palm tree Hollywood Come to the party the drinks are on me For free Heartbeats echo through a cavern of love Come to the tavern I'll meet you up above Soaring through the heavens, what a fabulous ride But everybody's heading for the same place to hide In Hollywood Underneath a golden palm tree Hollywood Come to the party the drinks are on me For free The drink's on me For free The drink's on me For free The drink's on me The drink's on me The drink's on me The drink's on me |

(Great hits of the sixties)
Look the lady's got a photograph Silver framed and velvet backed Well, she took it quite a while ago Funny that she never let me know What does it matter to me If it doesn't show I just don't know It's only just a memory Just a little history Oh, oh, oh And now she's wearing satin shoes Gilded hair to pay the dues I guess that I should tip my hat I wonder if she'd think of looking back What does it matter to me If it doesn't show I just don't know It's only just a memory Just a little history Oh, oh In the parking lot late at night Paper straws never worked out right I knew I wanted to But didn't know why So I just said "Hi" (Everybody sing along now) |

Can you feel the way the old wind blows From one to another Here to discover Indian summer Indian summer Honeysuckle vines outside the door Dandelion wine and so much more We can discover Into each other Indian summer Indian summer Indian summer Indian summer Night fall, fireflies light up the lawn Pink skies mirrored on the sea at dawn From one to another Here to discover Indian summer Indian summer Indian summer Indian summer |

One chance
For a true love If a heart breaks, Does it break forever? There'll be no more, Though you want back together You soon will start running baby, I know you will. Though I've seen it coming lately, I love you still. How long must I keep on trying To change your mind? How long till there's no denying We're out of time? Is there really just, One chance At a true love If a heart breaks, Does it break forever? There'll be no more, Though you want back together. Is there really just, One chance At a new start But just one glance Tells you it doesn't matter So you turn 'round so you Don't have to face it. Where are you goin' baby? Where have you been? I don't even know you lately, Let me back in. I guess I'll just keep on waiting, It's all I can do. Feels like the future's fadin' into the blue. Is there really just, One chance At a true love If a heart breaks Does it break forever? There'll be no more Though you want back together. Is there really just, One chance At a new start But just one glance Tells you it doesn't matter So you turn 'round so you Don't have to face it. One chance For a true love If a heart breaks Does it break forever? There'll be no more Though you want back together.

Watchin' a stretch of road, miles of light explode
Driftin' off a thing I'd never done before Watchin' the crowd roll in, out go the lights it begins A feelin' in my bones I never felt before Mmm... People always told me that bars are dark and lonely And talk is often cheap and filled with air Sure sometimes they thrill me But nothin' could ever chill me Like the way they make the time just disappear Feelin' you here again, hot on my skin again Feelin' good a thing I'd never known before What does it mean to feel, millions of dreams come real A feelin' in my soul I'd never felt before Mmm... And you, you always told me No matter how long it holds me If it falls apart or makes us millionaires You'll be right here forever We'll go thru this thing together And on heaven's golden shore we'll lay our heads |

Hey Slim how long's it been
Five minutes maybe 10 Can't wait to see you again and again First taste of this romance Hell baby I almost danced Caught myself close to believing But every time is a brand new feeling Lay me down in cool clear water For a moment I've forgot her Still I know where this is leading Win, lose, which we choose Won once and once refused Already burning down the fuse Don't wanna be building walls Cause everything rising falls It's darkness here the light's concealing Love it seems is too revealing Hidden in some secret place Etched in lines around my face The ghosts in here are all competing Over one more song about love and leaving Ummmmm Down, down we all fall down Down, down we all fall down We all fall down, yeah we all fall down Let's toast to new love blooming It's all around and all consuming It's a dream you're bound to follow Til you find it's only hollow I can hear the angels grieving Over one more song about love and leaving Ummmmm |

If we just took a walk To see where this path leads to Maybe stop in awhile Lay down, see you smile Looking up at those clouds in view It doesn't matter that the sky isn't blue A walk in the woods will do Sometimes it's better just being alone Being alone with you With the snow in your hair A crystal halo you wear While the chill winter air streams through Amid the birch and the oak Smell the fireplace smoke And the warmth we will go home to It doesn't matter that the sky isn't blue A walk in the woods will do Sometimes it's better just being alone Being alone with you Oh whoa ., . .

Muskrat, muskrat candlelight
Doing the town and doing it right In the evening It's pretty pleasing Muskrat Susie, Muskrat Sam Do the jitterbug out in muskrat land And they shimmy And Sammy's so skinny And they whirled and they twirled and they tangoed Singing and jinging the jango Floating like the heavens above Looks like muskrat love Nibbling on bacon, chewing on cheese Sammy says to Susie, "honey, would you please Be my missus?" And she says yes with her kisses And now he's tickling her fancy, rubbing her toes Muzzle to muzzle, now anything goes As they wriggle And Sue starts to giggle And they whirled and they twirled and they tangoed Singing and jinging the jango Floating like the heavens above Looks like muskrat love |

All the planes have been grounded Ain't' the fire inside Let's all go stand around it Funny, I've been there And you've been here We ain't have no time to drink that beer (Chorus) Cuz' I understand you've been runnin' from the man That goes by the name of the Sandman He flies the sky like an eagle in the eye of a hurricane thats abandond Ain't the years gone by fast I suppose you have missed them Oh I almost forgot to ask Did you hear of my enlistment Funny I've been there And you've been here We ain't have no time to drink that beer Cuz' I understand you've been runnin' from the man That goes by the name of the Sandman He flies the sky like an eagle in the eye of a hurricane thats abandond (Repeat chorus x3) |

Well I tried to make it Sunday
But I got so damned depressed That I set my sights on Monday And I got myself undressed I ain't ready for the altar But I do agree there's times When a woman sure can be a friend of mine Well, I keep on thinkin' 'bout you Sister Golden Hair surprise And I just can't live without you Can't you see it in my eyes I've been one poor correspondent And I've been too, too hard to find But it doesn't mean you ain't been on my mind Will you meet me in the middle Will you meet me in the end Will you love me just a little Just enough to show you care Well I tried to fake it I don't mind sayin' I just can't make it Well, I keep on thinkin' 'bout you Sister Golden Hair surprise And I just can't live without you Can't you see it in my eyes Now, I've been one poor correspondent And I've been too, too hard to find But it doesn't mean you ain't been on my mind Will you meet me in the middle Will you meet me in the end? Will you love me just a little Just enough to show you care Well I tried to fake it I don't mind sayin' I just can't make it |

On the first part of the journey
I was looking at all the life There were plants and birds and rocks and things There was sand and hills and rings The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz And the sky with no clouds The heat was hot and the ground was dry But the air was full of sound I've been through the desert on a horse with no name It felt good to be out of the rain In the desert you can remember your name 'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain La, la... After two days in the desert sun My skin began to turn red After three days in the desert fun I was looking at a river bed And the story it told of a river that flowed Made me sad to think it was dead You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name It felt good to be out of the rain In the desert you can remember your name 'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain La, la... After nine days I let the horse run free 'Cause the desert had turned to sea There were plants and birds and rocks and things there was sand and hills and rings The ocean is a desert with it's life underground And a perfect disguise above Under the cities lies a heart made of ground But the humans will give no love You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name It felt good to be out of the rain In the desert you can remember your name 'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain |

We used to laugh
We used to cry We used to bow our heads then Wonder why But now you're gone I guess I'll carry on And make the best of what you've left to me Left to me, left to me I need you Like the flower needs the rain You know, I need you Guess I'll start it all again You know, I need you Like the winter needs the spring You know I need you I need you And every day I'd laugh the hours away Just knowing you were thinking of me Then it came That I was put to blame For every story told about me About me, about me I need you Like the flower needs the rain You know, I need you Guess I'll start it all again You know, I need you Like the winter needs the spring You know I need you I need you, I need you |

Heaven may be an answer
If you're lookin' for Eden in the sky On your waters I see a strange reflection Rumor has it I'll see you when I die Everyone I meet is from California There's dancin' in the streets in California In California you watch the shadow dancer Floating gently, gently on the sea In California you're such a strange romancer Come and see me when the world has set you free Everyone I meet is from California There's dancin' in the streets in California Everyone I meet is from California There's dancin' in the streets in California |

Walking down the road Tell me, how long you gonna stay here Joe? Some people say this town don't look good in snow You don't care, I know Ventura Highway, in the sunshine Where the days are longer The nights are stronger Than moonshine You're gonna go, I know 'Cause the free wind is blowin' through your hair And the days surround your daylight there Seasons crying no despair Alligator lizards in the air Wishin' on a falling star Waitin' for the early train Sorry boy, but I've been hit by a purple rain Aw, come on Joe, you can always change your name Thanks a lot son, just the same Ventura Highway in the sunshine Where the days are longer The nights are stronger Than moonshine You're gonna go, I know 'Cause the free wind is blowin' through your hair And the days surround you daylight there Seasons crying no despair Alligator lizards in the air In the air |

To walk alone you have to be It's all for you and all for me, you'll see I'm gonna miss you, yes, I will No matter who you are, I'll love you still For my life is my conscience, the seeds I sow I just wanted to let you know Familiar faces that I've seen Turnin' red and turnin' green They just got caught with writing on their sleeve, I guess I'll leave I'm gonna miss you, yes, I will No matter who you are, I'll love you still Will you cancel my papers and lock the door Cause I ain't gonna be 'round no more Will I make it through the summer Breaking ties with the old and new Losing one just gains another There is nothing I can do I'm gonna miss you, yes, I will No matter who you are I'll love you still For my life is my conscience, the seeds I sow And I just wanted to let you know I'm gonna miss you, yes, I will No matter who you are, I'll love you still Will you cancel my papers and lock the door Cause I ain't gonna be 'round no more I'm gonna miss you, yes, I will No matter who you are I'll love you still For my life is my conscience, the seeds I sow And I just wanted to let you know I'm gonna miss you ... |

Muskrat, muskrat candlelight
Doing the town and doing it right In the evening It's pretty pleasing Muskrat Susie, Muskrat Sam Do the jitterbug out in muskrat land And they shimmy And Sammy's so skinny And they whirled and they twirled and they tangoed Singing and jinging the jango Floating like the heavens above Looks like muskrat love Nibbling on bacon, chewing on cheese Sammy says to Susie, "honey, would you please Be my missus?" And she says yes with her kisses And now he's tickling her fancy, rubbing her toes Muzzle to muzzle, now anything goes As they wriggle And Sue starts to giggle And they whirled and they twirled and they tangoed Singing and jinging the jango Floating like the heavens above Looks like muskrat love |

When the deep blue night is running close on your track
And you can feel the green monkey crawlin' across your back Don't take me so real that you forget how to feel Don't let the threat of the dagger turn your heart into steel Smell the perfume of the silent dream Fly the ocean, read a story to me Speak the wisdom of a redwood tree Speak to me So you think that star cluster shining bright in the sky Will speak the fate of your evening, tell the truth to your lie Don't let the features you read control the tickets you buy Soon as you learn that you live, you're just beginning to die Smell the perfume of the silent dream Fly the ocean, read a story to me Speak the wisdom of a redwood tree Speak to me Smell the perfume of the silent dream Fly the ocean, read a story to me Speak the wisdom of a redwood tree Speak to me |

Take your money and drop you to the ground Wouldn't want to see you messed around After all the love you think you've found She's gonna let you down Doesn't matter what we say Love's the stubbornest game to play Given time you might see it our way And we'll be sorry boy until that day She's gonna break away Remember all the times you helped us through Now here's our chance to do the same for you Guess the thing to do is wait around Lend a hand when you are on the ground She's gonna let you down She's gonna let you down She's gonna let you down |

Window frames a picture of winter time within my room
Sometimes then I laugh at the funny times we had in school Blowing leaves, broken dreams Seventeen, dancing queen, dancing queen I am asleep on a rainbow Hiding from the wake of the tide I am asleep on a rainbow Hoping for the rest of the ride Can you feel it moving inside of you? Can you let it go? The purple ghost of England in winter time, and who I used to know Blowing leaves, broken dreams Seventeen, dancing queen, dancing queen I am asleep on a rainbow Hiding from the wake of the tide I am a sleep on a rainbow Hoping for the rest of the ride Blowing leaves, broken dreams Seventeen, dancing queen, dancing queen I am asleep on a rainbow Hiding from the wake of the tide I am asleep on a rainbow Hoping for the rest of the ride I am asleep on a rainbow Hiding from the wake of the tide I am asleep on a rainbow Hoping for the rest of the ride |

Sometimes late when things are real
And people share the gift of gab between themselves Some are quick to take the bait And catch the perfect prize that waits among the shelves But Oz never did give nothing to the Tin Man That he didn't, didn't already have And Cause never was the reason for the evening Or the tropic of Sir Galahad. So please believe in me When I say I'm spinning round, round, round, round Smoke glass stain bright color Image going down, down, down, down Soapsuds green like bubbles Oh, Oz never did give nothing to the Tin Man That he didn't, didn't already have And Cause never was the reason for the evening Or the tropic of Sir Galahad So please believe in me When I say I'm spinning round, round, round, round Smoke glass stain bright color Image going down, down, down, down Soapsuds green like bubbles No, Oz never did give nothing to the Tin Man That he didn't, didn't already have And Cause never was the reason for the evening Or the tropic of Sir Galahad So please believe in me |

Hey, Daddy just lost his pay
What did he do it for It never made it through our door He drank the week away What can a family say There must be a better way Now, Mama don't start to cry Let's give him another try Pick up the telephone Tell him you want him home To sit and watch the evenings pass And readin' the Leaves of Grass I'm caught in a closing door It's pinning me to the floor Now, Mama don't start to cry Let's give him another try I'm caught in a closing door It's pinning me to the floor Now, Mama don't start to cry Let's give him another try When we're old and gray And the things we say Are the things we rarely mean So why cause a scene When things ain't what they seem 'Cause the end result's the same Now what can a family say There must be a better way Now, Mama don't start to cry Let's give him another try |

The lights of the city at night set the scene Stumble through the bars of forget-me-not lane Sparkle through the glitter but don't show the pain In Hollywood Underneath a golden palm tree Hollywood Come to the party the drinks are on me For free Heartbeats echo through a cavern of love Come to the tavern I'll meet you up above Soaring through the heavens, what a fabulous ride But everybody's heading for the same place to hide In Hollywood Underneath a golden palm tree Hollywood Come to the party the drinks are on me For free The drink's on me For free The drink's on me For free The drink's on me The drink's on me The drink's on me The drink's on me |

Then we walk on a crooked catwalk Only to be delayed Bubbles of blue burst into two Eaten up by the incoming tide Of the new Then we call to the man who walks on the water We talk of a plan to stop all the slaughter in view It's in view Granite charades are played in the rain Till we fall through a sand castle window To avoid the pain Summer canoe paddles up to you 'Cause it's time for another beer run Or something that's equally true Then we call to the man who walks on the water We talk of a plan to stop all the slaughter in view Then we call to the man who walks on the water We talk of a plan to stop all the slaughter in view It's in view |

Don't make me wait till the morning comes Light in the sky Look me in the eye, eye, eye, eye Don't, keep me waiting around Too much longer now Don't, don't keep me waiting around, around, around, around When I called you from my river of darkness An echo was all that came back Saw you wave goodbye Down the railroad track Sometimes when you're out and all alone And you can't find your way back Wonder if you'll ever make it home God of the sun I'll be around till the day's begun One sight of your ray Takes the night away, away, away, away Oh, but when I walk through that door Take my hat and my coat off waiting for you to call I tell you not right now, lady, I got work on my mind And I'll talk to you soon Always remember When I called you from my river of darkness An echo was all that came back I saw you wave goodbye Down the railroad track Sometimes when you're out and all alone And you can't find your way back Wonder if we'll ever make it home No more |

Thank the morning for bringing you
Hope you never turn your head and run And thank the sun for shining, too Hope the darkness never comes again What it does to me Isn't good to see You say that fortune brought you Sailin' cross the sea I don't believe you I don't see how it's true I think my dreamin' brought you here And if I wake tomorrow will you still be near Once a miser, twice a son Three's a devil, four's a lot of fun Fun for living one and all Start a battle, who's the first to fall Hope it isn't me Have to wait and see You say that fortune brought you Sailin' cross the sea I don't believe you I don't see how it's true I think my dreamin' brought you here If I wake tomorrow will you still be near Should I live with rain and then the sky will clear |

Sarah, please
Where is the love you said you'd save for me Am I a fool to think that something's strange I think you've changed Golly, Dad She was the best thing that I ever had Torn and battered now and due for repair But she's not there What does it matter and who really cares With no one to turn to when she's not there Ah, but it's all right, I'll get by Miles apart Left here standing with a broken heart Call me names but I'll refuse to cry Don't ask my why What does it matter and who really cares With no one to turn to when she's not there Ah, but it's all right, I'll get by |

Ain't it foggy outside
All the planes have been grounded Ain't' the fire inside Let's all go stand around it Funny, I've been there And you've been here We ain't have no time to drink that beer (Chorus) Cuz' I understand you've been runnin' from the man That goes by the name of the Sandman He flies the sky like an eagle in the eye of a hurricane thats abandond Ain't the years gone by fast I suppose you have missed them Oh I almost forgot to ask Did you hear of my enlistment Funny I've been there And you've been here We ain't have no time to drink that beer Cuz' I understand you've been runnin' from the man That goes by the name of the Sandman He flies the sky like an eagle in the eye of a hurricane thats abandond (Repeat chorus x3) |

On the first part of the journey, I was looking at all the life
There were plants and birds and rocks and things There was sand and hills and rings The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz And the sky with no clouds The heat was hot and the ground was dry, But the air was full of sounds I've been through the desert on a horse with no name It felt good to be out of the rain In the desert you can't remember your name 'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la After two days in the desert sun, my skin began to turn red After three days in the desert fun, I was looking at a river bed And the story it told of a river that flowed Made me sad to think it was dead You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name It felt good to be out of the rain In the desert you can't remember your name 'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la After nine days, I let the horse run free 'cause the desert had turned to sea There were plants and birds and rocks and things There was sand and hills and rings The ocean is a desert with its life underground And a perfect disguise above Under the cities lies a heart made of ground But the humans will give no love You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name It felt good to be out of the rain In the desert you can't remember your name 'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la |

We led ourselves astray In more than many ways Here, within the time we've spent Wonderin' what we meant By livin' all those years By livin' all those years We are here with nothing to do today It's something we can't explain And tomorrow, where will we be tomorrow?

Whenever it's a rainy day
I pack my troubles up in my room I chase all the clouds away I get myself back to the womb But I know that you're gonna cry Tears are runnin' from your eyes The piece of my life you take Is one that so often breaks Whenever you are miles away I think of you the way you are Your shining lips, your auburn hair And then it don't seem quite so far Well I know that you're gonna cry Tears are runnin' from your eyes The piece of my life you take Is one that so often breaks Well I know that you're gonna cry Tears are runnin' from your eyes The piece of my life you take Is one that so often breaks |

I never found the time
To see things quite through I never found the time To give them to you If living don't come easy Don't stop your own voice 'Cause the worst part of living Is havin' no choice tell me a story Tell it with your eyes I'm gonna stop believin' If I hear another lie Drink some cold water Your mouth's getting dry If I only had the time To see things right through I'd give up all my treasures And send them to you Then livin' would seem easy No lights and no noise Just me and my lady And the echo of her voice Tell me a story Tell it with your eyes I'm gonna stop believin' If I hear another lie Drink some cold water Your mouth's getting dry I never found the time To see into my lady And memories don't die But with time become hazy I never found the time To see into my lady And memories don't die But with time become hazy I never found the time To see into my lady And memories don't die But with time become hazy I never found the time ... |
