1. _ Mulling It Over
Music & lyrics: chan kinchla & john popper
I'm mulling it over
Thoughts at a grasp
You know i'm taking it in now
So much, so fast
I'm riding a feeling
Into deeper seas
I can't seem to fret now
It don't bother me
'cause i'm mulling it over, yeah
Said i'm mulling it over
I said i'm mulling it over
I said i'm mulling it over
Oh, mulling it over...
I said i'm mulling it mulling it
Mulling it mulling it
Mulling it over mulling it over
Twinkle twinkle little star
Wish i could afford a guitar
Sing a song of sixpence, pocketful of rye
Wish it was more than crumbs i could buy
Meet forever after
Don't he dress real well
You know he's clutching his chest now
Or couldn't you tell
Desperate to score now
No matter how hard he tries
You know he's strung out on future
See it in his eyes
And i'm mulling it over
Said i'm mulling it over
I said i'm mulling it over
I said i'm mulling it over and over and over and over and over, yeah

2. _ Warmer Days
Music & lyrics: john popper
When people think of holidays
They think of cold weather
"let's spend this frozen wonderland together"
Not me, i'm into warmer days
Don't wanna hear bout your winter wonderland
I am into
I'm into warmer days
Well, frozen fingers, frozen toes
Topped with a frozen stare
Numb your heart, and you numb your mind
Pretend that you don't care
Not me, i'm into warmer days
Don't wanna hear bout your winter wonderland
I am into
I'm into warmer days
Well say what you want about santa claus
Go on ahead, do your thing
And solace yourself in your righteous cause
While you're holding out for spring
Not me, i'm into warmer days
Don't wanna hear bout your winter wonderland
I am into
I'm into warmer days
When you were young, you walked to school
Uphill both ways in freezing rain
And when i'm frozen in solid ice
How dare i even complain
Not me, i'm into warmer days
Don't wanna hear bout your winter wonderland
I am into
I'm into warmer days
Don't wanna hear bout your winter wonderland
I am into
I'm into warmer days

3. _ Gina
Music & lyrics: chan kinchla & john popper
Gina, gina
Don't you cry
Gina, gina
Wonder why, i said wonder why
Gina, gina
Dance all night
Gina, gina
Feel all right
Gina, gina
Can't you see
Gina, gina
You're just free, i said you're just free
Well once upon a time
A long time ago
There was a rock'n'roll queen
We came to know
She kept on dancing
She'd dance till dawn
She'd dance till the people and the liquor were gone
She kept on dancing as the crowd grew large
When it came to grooving, you know, she was in charge
She still finds ways today to groove somehow
In fact she could be listening to this music right now
Gina, gina
Don't you cry
Gina, gina
Wonder why, i said wonder why

4. _ Alone
Music & lyrics: john popper
I said "i love you"
She began to cry
She said she needed a friend
I said "i'll try"
Soon we'd say nothing
Somehow i never wondered why
You see, she left me
She left me
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'd loved her always
She didn't know
I tried patience
Let a friendship grow
I tried to keep her
That's what made her go
You see, she left me
She left me
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
Beauty and the beast
Was how it seemed to be
A love like hers
Ain't meant for guys like me
Some call me crazy
Some politely call me free
But either way you see
You see, she left me
She left me
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm trying to forget you but it just won't work
Think i'm losing my mind, think i'm going berserk
I love you with a passion that you just don't know
And i kinda wish right now that i was telling you so
I could rant, or rave, or play some little game
But when i look into your eyes, it all seems the same
That you weren't meant for me and that's a sad but true fact
Now i don't care how i look and don't care how i act
Cuz you set me free
I'm a man among men
But when i think of what i missed it starts all again
Now alone in the darkness of each new day
My heart is on its own
I wanna rip it from my chest and throw it away
Watch this bassman take me home
I guess some day
Love will soon be here
And maybe then
I'll see things more clear
I guess i got excited
Cause it felt so near
And
You see, she left me
She left me
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
But i know i'd give my life
Just to hold her now
And who knows
I might see her around
Hopes can always go up
Tears can only come down
You see, she left me
She left me
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone

5. _ 100 Years
Music & lyrics: john popper
The sun is warm as the day is long
I just got the feeling i can do no wrong
I've got a long way to walk
Can't afford my next meal
I tell a few lies but my hunger is real
And it won't mean a thing in a hundred years
No, it won't mean a thing in a hundred years
Mademoiselle tell me do you play
Well, if she shakes her head, well then that's okay
I watch her walk away in haste
There's just no accounting for some people's taste,
And it won't mean a thing in a hundred years
No, it won't mean a thing in a hundred years
Big angry man in the doorway there
Just keep on walking like i don't care
Why you giving such an evil eye
Could it be you were ignored by every passerby
And it won't mean a thing in a hundred years
No, it won't mean a thing in a hundred years
Play in the park for tobacco and food
Then i excuse myself but they think i'm rude
Tourist don't want me to end his show
But this colorful attraction got places to go
And it won't mean a thing in a hundred years
No, it won't mean a thing in a hundred years
Sit at the pier watch the sun go down
Another lost little boy in a big old town
I want to laugh i want to cry
But no matter how hard i may try
It won't mean a thing in a hundred years
No, it won't mean a thing in a hundred years
It won't mean a thing in a hundred years
No, it won't mean a thing in a hundred years

6. _ Dropping Some Nyc
Music & lyrics: chan kinchla, bob sheehan & john popper
Come on everybody take a trip with us
Gonna raise some hell gonna raise a fuss
Cost you a dollar if you care to see
So just belly on up and tell me what'll it be
I've got a little something that i don't think you've tried
No need to run, no need to hide
Just take a little taste and tell me, what do you see
'cause tonight we're gonna drop a little nyc
Having some fun, well, all of us are
Everyone around you's gonna be a star
'cause it's the best and the worst, and it's life out loud
Don't mind if i preach; don't wanna get too proud
It's hard to be humble when it's all at your feet
And someday soon, it's gonna leave the street
They say the truth shall set you free
Well you're on parole when you're on nyc
2, 3, 4...dropping some nyc

7. _ Slow Change
Music & lyrics: john popper & bob sheehan
Just think about what you and i have been through
And tell me why i should not be afraid
I said don't want to hear about the promises they told us
I don't wanna hear about the progress that they made
Slow change
Don't mean nothing to me
Well fear not, cause my fear soon turns to anger
As i watch my world get ruined by a pristine hand
And i'm out here, saying excuse me like a stranger
Cause i never did learn how to say isn't this grand
Slow change
Don't mean nothing to me
Black cat
Squashed flat...pretty gory
Came to play
Swept away...no big story
We shall overcome is what they tell us
But the sun goes down and dawns just too many times
That's all right, don't worry, in god do we trust
Besides, you went and got yours, so i guess i'll just go get mine
Slow change
Don't mean nothing to me
Slow change
Don't mean nothing to me
Slow change
Don't mean nothing to me

8. _ But Anyway
Music & lyrics: chan kinchla & john popper
I lied and told her i loved her,
She didn't care, but anyway
I told her we'd still be friends,
And she didn't care, but anyway
I tried last week for to call her,
She wasn't home, but anyway
I think i'll spend my life alone,
I really don't care right now, but anyway
It's a state of affairs and a state of emotions
The kind of thing that you must understand
I tell you one thing; you tell me another
We walk away, maybe then shake hands
I'm quitting cigarette smoking
It's bad for me, but anyway
I don't think the tv was joking
When it told me this, but anyway
The newsman said not to sit on strange toilet seats
It's my life he's trying to save, but anyway
I found out that i've got eye cancer
Too many television waves, but anyway
It's a state of affairs and a state of emotions
The kind of thing that you must understand
I tell you one thing; you tell me another
We walk away, maybe then shake hands
Some day an answer will find us
Quite a long shot, but anyway
I think the past, the past is behind us
Be real confusing if not, but anyway
I put all my hope in tomorrow
It's gonna be great, i can tell but anyway
I see a new, a new day a dawning
I like to sleep late, oh well, but anyway
It's a state of affairs and a state of emotions
The kind of thing that you must understand
I tell you one thing; you tell me another
We walk away, maybe then shake hands

9. _ Crystal Flame
Music & lyrics: chan kinchla & john popper
Sitting in clover looking for the fifth leaf
Something soon will come my way
Never failing to amaze me
I feel its wisdom anyway
Rays of sweet illumination
Inspiration too untold
I hope some day i can befriend it
I think that comes with growing old
Crystal flame
I'll do anything you say
You're my heart and my mind and my soul
At least you fill them when i play
Light so bright it hypnotizes
But it never hurts to gaze
Never to burn or char with fire
Simply the heat from warmer days
And when the moment tends to savor
When the song is close at hand
That frozen ember fills my vision
Letting the brightness take command... take command
Crystal flame
I'll do anything you say
You're my heart and my mind and my soul
At least you fill them when i play
Please, please won't you take me away
It's easy, easy just let me play
Please, please won't you take me away
It's easy, easy just let me play
Sometimes its brilliance all around me
Sometimes its light i barely see
And though i utilize its grandeur
It does not belong to me
Cause all i can do is vague description
As i do my best to share
The smooth perfection i can only dream of
The flow of all the life that's there
Life that's there
Crystal flame
I'll do anything you say
You're my heart and my mind and my soul
At least you fill them when i play
Keep me safe and never lonely
Let the rain fall where it may
And let me find the peace within me
I can find it when i play
They say that solid wet or vapor
The only forms that are portrayed
To them i ask one burning question
Of what stuff are ideas made
Are they made?
Crystal flame
I'll do anything you say
You're my heart and my mind and my soul
At least you fill them when i play
Sitting in clover looking for the fifth leaf
Something soon will come my way

10. _ Sweet Talking Hippie
Music & lyrics: chan kinchla, bob sheehan, brendan hill & john popper
Sweet talking hippie
Cross your killing floor
Gonna come a little closer
Cause you know i want more
Don't run off
Don't you be afraid of me
You know you are what you made you baby
I am what i try to be
You know i need your love
And i could use your money
And if you ain't got a dime
We'll sell tickets, honey
You know we need each other, baby
Like a diamond and a ring
Now settle back, woman
And watch me do my thing
Just a little bit closer, it's all right
A little bit closer, closer now, closer now, closer now
Closer now, closer now, it's all right,it's all right
"come into my apartment"
Said the spider to the fly
Why would you wanna stick that thing in my heart?
Huh, oh well, good-bye.
Sweet talking hippie
Cross your killing floor
Gonna come a little closer
Cause you know i want more
That's all i am, that's all i am
You know that's all i am, that's all i am
I'm alone
I'm alone
Thank you.

11. _ Gotta Get Mean
Music & lyrics: chan kinchla, brendan hill & john popper
In this vale of toil and sin
You're stuck in a race that you just can't win
Just take a look around and it's so obscene
But that's the way it is, so you gotta get mean
Don't waste your time wondering why
Cause the only thing you know is that someday you'll die
You gotta get tough, you gotta get lean
But best of all you get to gotta get mean
You give me an itch and i'll blow you away
It's part of this dangerous game that we play
You'd do the same if you'd seen what i'd seen
C'est la vie, mon cherie, ya gotta get mean
