1. _ Do I Move You
Lyrics & music: n. simone
Are you ready? are you willing?
Do i groove you? tell me, is it thrilling?
Do i soothe you? tell the truth, now
Do i move you? c'mon, tell me, are you loose now?
The answer better be
Yes, yes
Great god almighty, that pleases me
Are you ready for this action?
Does it give you satisfaction?
Are you hip to what i'm singing?
If you are, c'mon, let's get swinging
The answer better be
Yes, yes
Great god almighty, that pleases me
When i touch it, do you quiver?
From your head on down to your liver?
If you like it, please let me know it
Don't be psychic, lord, 'cause you'll blow it
The answer better be
Yes, yes
Great god almighty, that pleases me
When i touch it, do you quiver?
From your head on down to your liver?
If you like it, please let me know it
Don't be psychic, lord, 'cause you'll blow it
The answer better be
Yes, yes
Great god almighty, that pleases me

3. _ H.o.r.d.e. Theme
We are all
A great big h.o.r.d.e.
We sit around
And we get bored
We're just too big
To be ignored
So thank your mom
Or thank the lord
Cause we are here
And we're the h.o.r.d.e.

4. _ Gloria
Original musician: them featuring van morrison
Well, i saw her...she was walkin' down the street
She was looking mighty tasty...she was looking so good to me
So i walked up to her with my very best smile on my face
She just kinda laughed and said "are you through?
Can we get on, can we get on down to your place."
She come to my house
She come up my stairs
She tell me she need me
She look like she cares
She make me feel good
She make me feel good all night
She make me feel good
She make me feel all right
I said "baby...what's your name?"
I said "baby...what's your name?"
And she said g...l...o...r...i-i-i-i-i-i-a
G-l-o-r-i-a (gloooria)
G-l-o-r-i-a (gloooria)
You know, i saw her again...the very next day
She was walkin' on that same strip of road
And she was headin' my way
Now, i'll never forget the night before
In fact, i'll never forget that week
But there i sat, motionless, somber, silent, unable to speak
You see, to my sorrow, and to my shame
In all the excitement, i'd forgotten this girl's name
I said "baby...what's your name?"
I said "baby...what's your name?"
And she said g...l...o...r...i-i-i-i-i-i-a
G-l-o-r-i-a (gloooria)
G-l-o-r-i-a (gloooria)

5. _ Shotgun Shell
I made you; or did you make me?
Who survives our partnership will be interesting to see
You serve amazingly
Your provision's undefined
I can't believe your attitude
I think you've lost your mind
Oh, don't turn on me, don't turn, love, you blow me away
Just a shotgun shell
Your frown is confident, i dare you just the same
You pitiful statistic without anyone to blame
What scares me most, the love itself
How i can't seem to turn to anybody else
Oh, don't turn on me, don't turn, love, you blow me away
Just a shotgun shell
I came upstairs from the basement
To take a little look around
Problems, grief and trouble
Were all that we found
Now whenever trouble comes our way
We don't run, we don't hide
We don't laugh, we don't cry, we just say...
Blam, blam, blam...[etc.]
I own you, or do you own me?
Our partnership is ending
'twas never meant to be
You are a demon, though we are not afraid
Our power is twice of yours
In the basement that we made
Oh, please turn on me, please turn, love, you blow me away
Just a shotgun shell
Oh, please turn on me, please turn, love, you blow me away...

6. _ To & Fro
Music & lyrics: john popper
Don't give up, don't allow disaster
Don't give up, don't you let her win
Talking about a forever after
Don't give up, don't you dare give in
Don't give up, don't you dare give in
Please understand and hear what i'm saying
The time is now, and you don't have long
She could be oceans away tomorrow
Soon your chance will have come and gone
So soon your chance will have come and gone
The tightwire's strung and you're out in the middle
All eyes upon you, no net below
Inches to go, and you're almost home free
Feel the wire swaying to and fro
Feel the wire swaying to and fro
The light in her eyes explanation escapes you
Longing to please and not feel alone
She doesn't know it, but really she loves you
Someday soon you will make it home
Someday so soon you will make it home
Someday so soon you will make it home
Someday so soon we'll all make it home

7. _ Christmas
Words by j. popper music by t. anastasio and j. popper comes the time for christmas
And i really have to ask
If this is feeling merry
How much longer must it last
I wish a one horse open sleigh
Would come carry me away
But i've been waiting here all day
And one just hasn't come my way
Now excuse me if i'm not being reverent
But i was hoping for a miracle to hold me, wash me
Save me from my righteous doubt as i watch helpless
And everybody sings
If it's chanukah or kwanza
Solstice, harvest or december twenty-fifth
Peace on earth to everyone
And abundance to everyone you're with
Laha da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da da da
La da da da da da da da
La da da da da da da da da
Laha da da da da
Laha da da da da
Comes the time for christmas
And as you raise your yuletide flask
There's like this feeling that you carry
As if from every christmas past
It's as if each year it grows
It's like you feel it in your toes
And on and on your carol goes
Harvesting love among your woes
I want to buy into the benevolent
And i was hoping for a miracle to hold me, wash me
Make me know what it's about
As the longing in me makes me want to sing
Noel or navidad
Season celebration or just the end of the year
Christmas can mean anything
And i mean to keep its hope forever near
Laha da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da da da
La da da da da da da da da
La da da da da da da da da da
Laha da da da da
Laha da da da da
As if a cold and frozen soul is warm to love
By loves own hand
So goes the prayer if for a day peace on earth
And good will to man
At twenty below the winter storm it billows
But the fire is so warm inside
And the children while nestled in their pillows
Dream of st. nicholas's ride
And how the next day they'll get up and they will play
In the still falling christmas snow
And together we'll celebrate forever
In defiance of the winds that blow
My god in heaven now i feel like i'm seven
And spirit calls to me as well
As if christmas had made the winter warmer
Made a paradise from what was hell
As if a cold and frozen soul is warm to love
By loves own hand
So goes the prayer if for a day peace on earth
And good will to man.......
I wish a one horse open sleigh would come carry me away
And i'll keep waiting through next may
Until christmas comes my way

8. _ Fallen Empire
Here's to the fallen empire, and all the treasure there
Here's to the fallen empire, and i just don't care
A toast to the mighty buildings
That cluttered up the sky
And i'll drink to all those fine, brave lads
Who gave it their best try
The armies came on charging
But the battle lasted a day
By dawn the conquest halted there
And a handful rode away
So here's to the fallen empire, and all the treasure there
Here's to the fallen empire, and i just don't care
With the general dead and buried
The corporal of resource
Rallied up the small remains
Of once-undefeated force
Their final charge came quickly
Their horses seemed to fly
Each man knew an age had ended
Each man knew he'd die
So here's to the fallen empire, and all the treasure there
Hip hip hooray for the fallen empire, and i just don't care
The defenders made quick work of them
And the war was finally won
An era's culture grew no more
And a new era begun
The defenders, now the conquerors
Grow docile with desire
Their expansion surely justified now
All hail the new empire
So here's to the fallen empire, and all the treasure there
Here's to the fallen empire, and i just can't seem to care
You know, that was many empires ago
Many since have rose and fell
Many more shall rise under god and heaven
And ride off into hell
Their children have our faces
Their children we're among
And as i too dream, my turn draws near
Because i am that young
So here's to the fallen empire, and all the treasure there
Here's to the fallen empire, and i really don't care
I can hear it call to me
Like a wolf howls to the moon
You know, now there is no life up there
We'll colonize it soon
So here's to our falling empire
And all that's fine and fair
Come ride with me for an emperor's crown
I'm young and i just don't care
So here's to the fallen empire, and all the trouble there
Here's to the fallen empire, i'm a young man and i just don't care

11. _ The Light In Her Eyes
The sun began to get busy
Trying to find the way
The storm was upping the ante
It was time to make a play
He was sure his plan was perfect
He was sure he would win
All he needed was a woman's heart
To let the magic in
He could force the seduction
By simply using heat
But the bet was for love to win
And there was no good way to cheat
So he would have to go find some
And grow it like a seed
But with his illumination
A spark was all he'd need
He said,
"i'll put the light in her eyes
I'll make the moon want to shine like she does
He won't resist the warmth i give her
Even if he tries
I'll put the light in her eyes"
Sure enough there was a prospect
By the name of maiden fair
A true friend of r. hero
She really seemed to care
And with feelings unnoticed
By either he or she
[mumble mumble] play
And sun giggled with glee
"yeah i'm the catalyst of nature
And i make the world go round
All i have to do is shine upon her
Whenever he's around
And this love will grow stronger
Than any dream could be
And the heavens will know at last
Who will rule all destiny - that's me
Because
I'll put the light in her eyes
I'll make the moon want to shine like she does
He won't resist the warmth i give her
Even if he tries
I'll put the light in her eyes
I'll put the light in her eyes
I'll make the moon want to shine like she does
He won't resist the warmth i give her
Even if he tries
I'll put the light in her eyes
I'll put the light in her eyes
I'll make the moon want to shine like she does
He won't resist the warmth i give her
Even if he tries
I'll put the light in her eyes
I'll put the light in her eyes"

12. _ Feelin' Groovy (52nd Street Bridge Song)
Original performers: simon & garfunkel
Slow down, don't move too fast
You've got to make the morning last
Kickin' down the cobblestones
Lookin' for fun and feelin' groovy
Feelin' groovy
Hello little folks, what you know
I've come to watch the flowers grow
Now ain't you got no rhyme for me
Doo doo doo feelin' groovy
Feelin' groovy
I've got no deeds to do, no promises to keep
I'm baffled and drowsy and ready for sleep
Like a morning to cast all the petals on me
Life, i love you, all is groovy

13. _ Home Is Where You Are
Music & lyrics: john popper
Barbara, won't you listen for a while
I so honestly, honestly need to smile
I've never felt the need to say goodbye
When you keep someone in your heart
You never leave them behind
Leave it all behind
Is it a home you'll find
Need i dare remind
That home's where you are
Lately i've seen your face, and i'm afraid
I try to sing you your song, but the lyrics they fade
Then i look again, and new words fill my ears
As i see a friend that i love, it calms all my fears
No, i'll shed no tears
Best friends of years and years
And as the bridge soon nears
I'll say home's where you are
Home's where you are
It's in everything you do
Home's where you are
You're gonna find out that it's true
Home's where you are
In every song you play
Home's where you are
Even in what you can't say
Barbara, won't you listen for a while
I so honestly, honestly need to smile

14. _ Johnny B. Goode
Original performer: chuck berry
Way down in louisiana close to new orleans
Way back up in the woods among the evergreens
There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood
Where lived a country boy name of johnny b. goode
He never ever learned to read or write so well
But he could play the guitar like ringing a bell
Go go
Go johnny go, go
Go johnny go, go
Go johnny go, go
Johnny b. goode
He use to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
And sit beneath the trees by the railroad track
Oh, the engineers used to see him sitting in the shade
Playing to the rhythm that the drivers made
People passing by would stop and say
"oh my, but that little country boy can play"
Go go
Go johnny go, go
Go johnny go, go
Go johnny go, go
Johnny b. goode
His mama told him someday he would be a man
And he would be the leader of a big old band
Many people coming from miles around
To hear him play his music til the sun go down
Maybe someday his name would be in lights
Saying johnny b. goode tonight
Go go
Go johnny go, go
Go johnny go, go
Go johnny go, go
Johnny b. goode

16. _ Bad To The Bone
Original performer: george thorogood and the destroyers
On the day i was born
The nurses all gathered round
And they gazed in wild wonder
At the joy they had found
The head nurse spoke up
Said "leave this one alone."
She could tell right away
I was bad to the bone
Bad to the bone
Bad to the bone
Ba ba ba bad
Bad to the bone
I broke a thousand hearts
Before i met you
I'll break a thousand more, baby
Before i am through
I wanna be yours, pretty baby
Yours and yours alone
I'm here to tell ya, woman
That i'm bad to the bone
Bad to the bone
Bad to the bone
Ba ba ba bad
Bad to the bone
I'll make a rich woman beg
And i'll make a good woman steal
I'll make an old woman blush
And i'll make a young girl squeal
I wanna tell you pretty baby
What i see i make my own
I'm here to tell you pretty woman
That i'm bad to the bone
Bad to the bone
Bad to the bone
Ba ba ba bad
Bad to the bone
Now when i walk the streets
Kings and queens step aside
Every woman i meet
They all stay satisfied.
I wanna tell ya, baby
What i see i make my own.
And i'm here to tell ya, pretty woman
That i'm bad to the bone
Bad to the bone
Bad to the bone
Ba ba ba bad
Bad to the bone

17. _ Just For Me
just another one four five about as cute as can be
And danceable but i don't really care
I was just glad i'm alive and i had nothing else to do
And besides the beat was already there
Oh that's right, no it wasn't me, i didn't do it
Say what you will but you can't blame a thing on me
And really even if you could i said i couldn't care less
Not now not today this morning you got me feeling free
(chorus)
Yeah just me
This one's, this one's just for me
Yeah yeah just me
Somethings, somethings are just for me
I swear to god i took a walk and it occurred to me while i was outside
That if i was looking for a miracle i might do well to look up to the sky
The dawn breaking open the day you'd say that it was blinding me
But still i had to stop right there and wonder why
Now i know for certain 'cause i've been around
That the sun shines every day even though you might not get to see
No matter who no matter where no matter weather permitting
The miracle is that sometimes it can burn just for you
...or just me
Oh this one's burning just for me
Yeah yeah yeah me
Somethings, somethings are just for me
I wrote the editor for some news print shots
But he just sent me some old forget me nots
And this ain't vegas but i've played the slots
So i figure on dropping one coin in
And some old seminole yelled look out below
You know long ago they wouldn't let him go
But now they're laying low in idaho
And so geronimo, he finally gets to win
...or lose, who cares about the news
We all live and schmooze as we choose
The effort's always in the details
I've put in my time
I bump and grind and rise and shine
I whine and whine and pine and ache like everybody else
(chorus x2)
Just another one four five about as cute as can be
And danceable but i don't really care

18. _ Secret Agent Man
Original performer: the ventures
There's a man who lives a life of danger
To everyone he meets, he stays a stranger
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 a number
And taken away your name
Beware of pretty faces that you find
A pretty face can hide an evil mind
Don't let the wrong word slip
While kissing persuasive lips
Or odds are you won't live to see tomorrow
Secret agent man, secret agent man
They've given you a number
And taken away your name
Swinging on the riviera one day
Lying in a bombay alley next day
Be careful what you say
Or you'll give yourself away
Odds are you won't live to see tomorrow
Secret agent man, secret agent man
They've given you a number
And taken away your name

19. _ Jabberwock
Poet: lewis carroll
Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe
All mimsy were the borogoves
And the mome raths outgrabe
"beware the jabberwock, my son
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch
Beware the jubjub bird and shun
The frumious bandersnatch"
He took his vorpal blade in hand
Long time the manxome foe he sought
So rested he by the tumtum tree
And stood awhile in thought
And as in uffish thought he stood
The jabberwock, with eyes of flame
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood
And burbled as it came
One, two, one, two
And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker snack
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back
"and hast thou slain the jabberwock
Come to my arms, my beamish boy
O frabjous day! callooh! callay!"
He chortled in his joy
Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe
All mimsy were the borogoves
And the mome raths outgrabe.

20. _ 1999
Original performer: prince
Don't worry, i won't hurt you
I only want you to have some fun
I was dreamin' when i wrote this
Forgive me if it goes astray
But when i woke up this mornin'
Coulda sworn it was judgment day
The sky was all purple
There were people runnin' everywhere
Tryin' to run from the destruction
You know i didn't even care
'cuz they say two thousand zero zero party over
Oops out of time
So tonight i'm gonna party like it's 1999
I was dreamin' when i wrote this
So sue me if i go too fast
But life is just a party
And parties weren't meant to last
War is all around us
My mind says prepare to fight
So if i gotta die
I'm gonna listen to my body tonight
Yeah, they say two thousand zero zero party over
Oops out of time
So tonight i'm gonna party like it's 1999
Yeah
Lemme tell ya somethin'
If you didn't come to party
Don't bother knockin' on my door
I got a lion in my pocket
And baby he's ready to roar
Yeah, everybody's got a bomb
We could all die any day
But before i'll let that happen
I'll dance my life away
They say two thousand zero zero party over
Oops out of time
We're runnin' outta time
So tonight i'm gonna party like it's 1999
Say it one more time
Two thousand zero zero party over
Oops out of time

So tonight i'm gonna party like it's 1999
Alright, it's 1999
You say it, 1999

Two thousand zero zero party over
Oops out of time

So tonight i'm gonna party like it's 1999
Yeah, 1999
Don'tcha wanna go
Don'tcha wanna go
We could all die any day
I don't wanna die
I'd rather dance my life away
Listen to what i'm tryin' to say
Everybody, everybody say party
C'mon now, you say party
That's right, everybody say
Can't run from the revelation, no
Sing it for your nation y'all
Tell me what you're singin', baby say
Telephone's a-ringin', mama

Come on, take my body, baby party

Got a lion in my pocket mama, say party
Oh, and he's ready to roar party
Mommy, why does everybody have a bomb?
Mommy, why does everybody have a bomb?

21. _ Pretty Angry (for J. Sheehan)
i wish i drank tequila
I wish i stayed up late
But lately when the sandman comes
You know i just can't wait
No lately i can't wait
And we packed up all your boxes
It's all been hauled away
I never stare at walls so bare
'cause something always stays
Yeah something of you stays
And i wanna shout from my guitar
Come out come out wherever you are
The joke is over open up your eyes
A heart like yours it never dies
And i found your keys behind your chair
I still can see you sitting there
This isn't funny don't fool around
You let me go... you let me down
(chorus)
And i guess i'm still pretty angry
And i don't want to be
I don't know which was the bigger waste of time
Missing you or wishing instead it was me
I wish i walked on water
Pulling rabbits from my sleeve
Guessing cards and saving everyone
I wish i still believed
Oh i wish that i believed
That i could also channel voices
That i've endured the burning blade
That i could make some of your choices
I wish i weren't afraid
Of those choices that you made
Like i could give you what you need
So ally ally oxen free
The game is up and i give in
So show yourself so that you can win
Come claim your prize and i don't care
I still can see you standing there
How you could leave, how you could lie
You cut me off in mid reply
(chorus)
The will to win the urge to race
I still can see it on your face
Thought i'd keep up but only crashed
I wasn't built to move that fast
Thought i could match you stride for stride
But i was on the other side
And holding on to the safety rail
With knuckles white complexion pale
A could of dust and you were gone
Thought i would catch you later on
I limped behind your race was won
But were you racing or on the run?
How you enjoyed, you loved to drive
And i'm destroyed... 'cause i'm alive
'cause i'm alive
(chorus x2)

22. _ What Do You Want From Me?
I held you, i said that i loved you
I said that i'd never leave
You said i'm easy, much too easy to hurt
And too easy to believe
So i'm on my own now
I've got myself for a friend
And it gets better every day
And now you wonder, yes you wonder aloud
Why i won't come out and play
What do you want from me?
Some say i'm jaded, disillusioned by
This heart that's turned to stone
Well, that's not true, there's a fire inside me
That won't leave me alone
But you have to ou understand, my fire needs air
The flame must burn free
Do you want control?
Do you want to put the fire out
Or the flame too bright to see?
What do you want?
What do you want?
What do you want from me?
What do you want?
Now i still love you but hold you i won't
Because you're free to what you need
And want you free
From the chain to the dungeon of your greed
Oh, tell me why, why couldn't i just accept and let it be?
Oh tell me what, when i want but for you,
What do you want?
What do you want from me?
What do you want?

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the lord
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of his terrible swift sword

24. _ Cleopatra's Cat
Cleopatra's favorite cat
Got his hands on caeser's spats
The heat was on as you could see
So he front 'em to mark antony
Said, "my girlfriend's cat is smarter than me."
Caeser had an eye for clothes
He saw them spats and said, "i like those."
Caeser had not thing to say, except
"jesu christi domine
Et tu, brute
Jesu christi domine
Et tu, brute."
The senate tried to sympathize
It was the cat they should despise
Informant told his whereabouts
Centurions to seek him out
Centurions! there go the centurions
Brutus had to turn his head
When that cat done went and said
"if he's got this thing for shoes
He just might be ambitious, too
They got holidays all in his name
And all a tyrant needs is fame
Those fascists don't play pretty games
Egypt is the place to be
But rome is a democracy
Rome!
Caeser never got them back
Cause they killed his ass in the second act
Brutus spoke, then antony
Said, "my girlfriend's cat is smarter than me
Egypt's biggest rivalry
Cleopatra's cat and me."

Got to be a joker he just do what he please
He wear no shoeshine he got toe-jam football
He got monkey finger he shoot coca-cola
He say "i know you, you know me"
One thing i can tell you is you got to be free
Come together right now over me
He bag production he got walrus gumboot
He got ono sideboard he one spinal cracker
He got feet down below his knee
Hold you in his armchair you can feel his disease
Come together right now over me
He roller-coaster he got early warning
He got muddy water he one mojo filter
He say "one and one and one is three"
Got to be good-looking 'cause he's so hard to see
Come together right now over me

26. _ Outta My Hands
I never said that i loved you baby
I never said that i cared
I never said that i'd weep at your passing
I never said i'd be there
So you're down and out and you need a friend
You need somebody to turn to
Keep on looking cause if i'm not there
There's nothing more that i can do
Cause it's outta my hands with the way that you talk
Cause it's outta my hands with the way i listen
Cause it's outta my hands with the way that you treat me
Cause it's outta my hands when it's given
Cause it's outta my hands with the way that you talk
Cause it's outta my hands with the way i listen
Cause it's outta my hands with the way that you treat me
Cause it's outta my hands when it's given

Written by: henry vestine, adolfo de la parra, alan wilson, larry taylor, and robert hite, jr.
Well it's christmastime everybody
But it's raining in my heart
Yes it's christmastime everybody
But it's raining in my heart
Well you know that i love you baby
Tell me why must we be apart
Well you told me new year's eve
That we'd be together christmastime
Well you told me new year's eve
That we'd be together at christmastime
Well it's christmas eve my darling
Will you be here when the bell
Begins to chime
Okay
What is a ship without a cre-ew
What is the morning without the de-ew baby
What's a ship without a cre-ew
What is the morning without the de-ew baby
What is my life little darling
Another lonely christmas
Without you

29. _ Diner
Music & lyrics: bob sheehan
Seven a.m. welcomes in the next morning
Here again
Early to bed, when must i rise
If given no reason, i don't need to try
The seasons turn from cold to bare
So how come i still want to care
Somewhere she works in a diner
I'd like to go there and order a meal
But she's hard in my heart
Yeah you're hard in my heart
You're so hard in my heart
Do you know how i feel
There's a road that's long and scary
Where she lives her life of plenty
I'm driving home and i wish it was on the way
But the map i have leaves out that highway
Somewhere she works in a diner
I'd like to go there and order a meal
But she's hard in my heart
Yeah you're hard in my heart
You're so hard in my heart
Do you know how i feel
All in all i know she won't fall
Time will come once again
When our paths will meet, my friend
I will greet you with a smile
And see you've reached a place worthwhile
Somewhere she works in a diner
I'd like to go there and order a meal
But she's hard in my heart
Yeah you're hard in my heart
You're so hard in my heart
Yeah you're hard in my heart
You're so hard in my heart
Do you know how i feel

30. _ And So It Goes
(note: this song changes with every version...this version is from 5-13-94, when it was brought back after a two-year absence, at the aragon ballroom, in chicago)
Rock and roll!
Well i've been around this world and i'll tell you some things
There ain't no free lunches, you gotta watch for the strings
You stand up for your rights and then you try to hold your ground
But only lady luck determines if you're up or you're down
Oh faith in my friend and faith in my brother
And faith in my life, i don't know no other
You try to stay happy, you try to stay sane
You get a little pleasure and you get a little pain
You grab the brass ring, you know you've gotta try
You keep right on a-grabbing until the day you die
Life's a big gamble, you have to work on yet
It's a big card shuffle, you gave what you could get
You get your joy, you get to have your blows,
And where she stops, nobody knows
And so it goes...and so it goes...
I could tell you scary stories; i could tell you some lies
It'll take much more than that for me to open your eyes
So go anywhere you want to; do whatever you choose
And only lady luck determines if you win or you lose...
Oh faith in my friend and faith in my brother
And faith in my life, i don't know no other
You try to stay happy, you try to stay sane
You get a little pleasure and you get a little pain
You grab the brass ring, you know you've gotta try
You keep right on a-grabbing until the day you die
Life's a big gamble, you have to work on yet
It's a big card shuffle, you gave what you could get
You get your joy, you get to have your blows,
And where she stops, nobody knows
And so it goes...and so it goes...
(spoken)
"do you know what i love about having this microphone in front of my face where i've got this groove going on behind me all solid and smooth? well, i'll tell you. through the miracle of rock and roll, i can say absolutely anything, anything at all that will make some kind of sense in some poetic way to somebody, somehow, somewhere. observe closely...hark! what light through yon window breaks? kids who live in glass houses should learn to draw rakes. them that takes cakes that the parsee man bakes makes dreadful mistakes. and those that think we can't do chicago are big lousy fakes."
"i don't have to explain it; i just gotta make it up...oh, i guess i should play now."
"how is everybody feeling? you know, we're feeling so good, we're gonna hit it for you one time (1 hit). ho! ho! ho! ha! eh! we feel so good, we're gonna hit it for you seven times (7 hits). this isn't something you get every day, this is interdimensional, cross-rip timekeeping. okay...this has never been done before...we're gonna hit it for you 13 times in honor of friday the 13th. (13 hits) that felt pretty good! you know, i'm afraid we're going to have to hit it for you 67 times. (67
Hits)"
"okay...all right now...you guys have been such a wonderful audience...we'd be terribly remiss if we didn't teach you a little something...the incredible masculine and feminine dance of awesome and articulate power...the dance that wowed them in nigeria in the early 1800's...a dance that wowed them in the beaches of the usa in 1965...that's right, i'm talking about the one, the only, wobbling surfer. now, in order to demonstrate this dance of incredible awesome power, you need a lot of people; you need a line, as a matter of fact. this has been a dance that has been banned from most line-dancing establishments, most of your country/western line-dancing establishments have not had this dance in their bar because it causes nudity and profane language. but to demonstrate this dance, we're going to use the world famous blues traveler stage crew. stage crew, please report, in uniform! ladies and gentlemen, the virile and masculine, blues traveler stage crew...this one particularly sca

The wobbling surfer, for you, presented for your viewing pleasure...1, 2, 1, 2, 3, surf! go for the jump!"
Oh faith in my friend and faith in my brother
And faith in my life, i don't know no other
You try to stay happy, you try to stay sane
You get a little pleasure and you get a little pain
You grab the brass ring, you know you've gotta try
You keep right on a-grabbing until the day you die
Life's a big gamble, you have to work on yet
It's a big card shuffle, you gave what you could get
You get your joy, you get to have your blows,
And where she stops, nobody knows
And so it goes...and so it goes...

32. _ Who Do You Love
Original performer: elias mcdaniel
I walked forty-seven miles of barbed wire,
I got a cobra snake for a necktie,
I got a brand new house by the road side,
Made out of rattlesnake hide.
I got me a chimney made on top,
Made from a human skull,
Now come on, take a little walk with me,
Now who do you love?
Come on arlene, take me by the hand,
Let me know you understand,
Who do you love? ...
Ride nine times on the midnight train
Through the fire and cold rain,
Who do you love? ...
I've got a tombstone hand in a graveyard mine,
Just twenty-two and i don't mind dying,
Who do you love? ...

33. _ Weird Chick
Check her checking out the local eastside dojos
Looking for somebody to call her own
Watch her shake that thing between the solos
For some drinks, some attention and possibly a home
Not the big brass ring, but a little gold one
That she keeps on a chain that she usually likes to wear
One way or another she'll see to it
When she's running her fingers all the way through your hair
You know you're a weird chick
It's time that you found out
You know you're a weird chick
What it's all about
You know you're a weird chick
It's time that you did learn
You know you're a weird chick
This one you're gonna earn
You know you're a weird chick
It's time that you found out
You know you're a weird chick
What it's all about
You know you're a weird chick
It's time that you did learn
You know you're a weird chick
This one you're gonna earn

34. _ Can't Get A Light
Music & lyrics: john popper
Driving around on a monday morning
Got school in four hours, but i blew my last warning
Not much point in going today
They don't need me anyway
Decided i'm tired of looking for the catch
I'm down to my last cigarette
Gonna smoke it down, and try to forget
I know i could make it through the night
If i could only get a light
But as it happens, i don't have a match
I'm in love, i'm in hock
I'm flunking school, don't know why i'm shocked
I said, the worst, the worst of all, i can't get a light
Well, i'm always in my bit of debt
I bet i owe someone my last cigarette
In fact, everything i have, i owe
My mind, my soul, my clothes, my dough
I guess someday, i'll pay off my dues
Well, i'm still driving, and heading south
With an unlit cigarette hanging out my mouth
It won't be long before the dawn
Still with all my matches gone
And i'm just awake enough to get the blues
I'm in love, i'm in hock
I'm flunking school, don't know why i'm shocked
I said, the worst, the worst of all, i can't get a light
Nothing's coming right
Well, i'm just too tired to think about my baby
Is she a yes, or just another maybe
I wish that i could tell her so
But i'm just too scared to let her know
Just how it is i want things to be
Well, if i could have just one last smoke
Life might seem like just another joke
Tomorrow wouldn't be so bad
I wish it was a match i had
A smoke is quite essential to someone like me
I'm in love, i'm in hock
I'm flunking school, don't know why i'm shocked
I said, the worst, the worst of all, i can't get a light
Well, so a brand new day's begun
But i just cannot seem to get this game won
I guess i'm sorta lucky, though
Cause everybody tells me so
Blew my last chance a long time ago, there's nothing left but strife
Well, maybe someday i'll get out from under
And everybody gonna feel my thunder
But i don't think it'll go down that way
If i'm having trouble lasting one more day
Cigarettes and no matches
That's the story of my life
Where's that rusty knife
I'm in love, i'm in hock
I'm flunking school, don't know why i'm shocked
I said, the worst, the worst of all, i can't get a light

35. _ Her & Me
I see like i read
And i say like i write
And if i could touch the smile within her
I'd forget to be polite
And i'm marching in directions
In which she doesn't care to go
I don't deviate where we intersect
But to linger i walk slow
Am i coming to a stand still
Am i about to lose my mind
All i know for sure when she's around
Is i forget to watch the time
I know we head down different streets
But i don't want to walk away
So burns a lamp on amber
So i stutter and i stay
She gives me everything
She believes
She'll do anything
But she won't follow me
Something in her warms me
And i've been so very cold
Something in a memory
About a promise that i hold
Resigned to fates and destinies
Was the way i've always been
But the only one that interests me
Is the one that won't begin
But before we both can turn away
We look for one more glance
And find some brand new way to stall
So close to doing the dance
She gives me everything
She believes
She'll do anything
But she won't follow me
Is it happening to you
It must be
Cause i can feel it too
Our destiny
Take my hand and hold it tight
Hold on to my heart
Till the changing of the light
Tears us apart
So delicious the dilemma
So delinquent the denial
Try to stick together
For at least another mile
And i see no solution
Is the direction on her face
It's where i've always tended towards
It's always been the place
She has her own directions too
And she might fly off free
I wonder how to follow though
When i don't know how to see
She gives me everything
She believes
She'll do anything
But she won't follow me
She gives me everything
She believes
She'll do anything
But she won't follow me
But before we get too carried away
We both are here right now
When i hold on, i hold on forever
Even if i can't see how

36. _ Mother Funker
Mother funker!
If you see her come, you better look away
When she's down for a kill, that bitch is ready to play
If you need some time, she'll hook you for a while
With her jasmine eyes and her granite smile
Her kingdom's one twenty fifth to the lower east side
For the proper fee she'll hook you for that ride
To her bad ass haunts that span all across town
She can speak with a sheik as well as get the funk down
Geronimo!
Chan!
So if you crave brass rings, then son you'd best beware
But if that's the case, then you're already there
She'll spit you out and leave you wanting more
The queen of the night is just a burnt out whore

But you know i won't buy it
Wouldn't it make you mad
If i came up to you
Wouldn't it make you mad
If i could tell you what to do
Wouldn't it make you mad
If i broke down your door
Wouldn't it make you mad
If i started your war
Wouldn't it make you mad

Music & lyrics: john popper
When she speaks, it thrills me
When there's rage in her heart, it kills me
But one look from her eyes could still me
And oh, when she smiles
I'm talking about sarah
What a name, i'm not ashamed
To tell the world if you'd be my girl
I'm talking about you sarah
Oh, i love you
I really do
And if you'd be my girl
Wouldn't it be a wonderful world
Oh when she weeps, it pains me
The air that she breathes sustains me
One look from her eyes can tame me
And oh, when she smiles
I'm talking about sarah
What a name, i'm not ashamed
To tell the world if you'd be my girl
I'm talking to you sarah
Oh, i love you
I really do
And if you'd be my girl
Wouldn't it be a wonderful world
Oh, if there's a god above
He'd know who i'm thinking of
Soaring like the wing on a dove
Whenever she smiles
Cuz when she smiles
I said when she smiles
I know i'm in love
I'm talking bout sarah
What a name, i'm not ashamed
To tell the world if you'd be my girl
I'm talking about you sarah
Oh, i love you
I really do
And if you'd be my girl

You'll have me when i'm on my knees
One day it's fine, the next it's black
So if you want me off your back
Won't you come on and let me know, let me know
Should i cool it or should i blow?
This indecision's bugging me
Please, baby, please, set me free
I don't think i can repel off your attack
So if you want me off your back
Won't you come on and let me know
Should i cool it or should i blow?

43. _ Dream On
Music & lyrics: john popper
How can i stay awake when i know that my dreams will be of you
These moments i spend with you in my slumber are much too few
There are those who say that i spend too much time with my mind in an unconscious state
But how can there be harm in your arms in the dreams i create
What is right, what is wrong
What is poetry and what is song
Why can't i be left where i belong
Oh, to dream on, oh to dream on
Oh, what's sincere
What is fake
Why do they fear for my own sake
What magic rule will i break
Oh, to dream on, oh, to dream on
It's not a crime, too sublime to imagine a better life than this
One thought of you and i can't resist
I don't want to stay in a gray world that is so corrupt
Sometimes i pray, and i pray that i'll never wake up
What is right, what is wrong
What is poetry and what is song
Why can't i be left where i belong
Oh, to dream on, oh to dream on
Oh, what's sincere
What is fake
Why do they fear for my own sake
What magic rule will i break
Oh, to dream on, oh, to dream on
Oh, you know that i want you, so please let me sleep
In my dreams i will see you, in my dreams we will meet
In my sleep, love is easy, you know how i care
But i wake in the morning i and find you're not there
Come back to the living is what my friends say
One thought of you washes all of the words away
And i tell them
And i tell them
Why don't you just let me dream on

And it isn't you
It's just a friend of mine saying "hey, what's the matter, man, i've got some puerto rican girls just dying to meet you"
Gonna bring a case of wine
Have a good old time
Just like we used to
Oh, everybody waits so long
Oh, you wanna wait so long

Oh, everybody waits so long
Oh, you wanna wait so long

45. _ Monster
[inaudible line]
Holding up last night
Tearing things apart
He giggles with delight
[something] temptation
[something] out tonight
You can work your incantation
With garlic at your door
Or hide until tomorrow
It hasn't worked before
When his love is known
It turns to stone
This creature goes out hunting
And feeling that he prowls
Makes a jungle cat afraid to pounce
The wolf afraid to howl
When the [?] becomes his victim
And prayer becomes his prey
Well that's his way
You can work your incantation
With garlic at your door
Or hide until tomorrow
It hasn't worked before
When his love is known
It turns to stone
He puts upon the canvas
Visions in his head
With a pressure razor-fine
He paints until i'm bled
When the moment's captured
By his artistic eye
He lets it die
You can work your incantation
With garlic at your door
Or hide until tomorrow
It hasn't worked before
When his love is known
It turns to stone
And he can't be lonely
Time comes away
He has my own identity
Or so he does say
Only once the fast have weakened
Since statue i was free
He let it be
The demon all but vanquished
He's finally rid of him
But still i couldn't touch you
And it frightened me no end
And when at last you'd come
The beast raged on
You can work your incantation
With garlic at your door
Or hide until tomorrow
It hasn't worked before
When his love is known
It turns to stone
And when his love is known...
It turns to stone

46. _ The Weight
Original performer: the band
I pulled into nazareth, was feeling bout half past dead;
I just need a place where i can lay my head.
"hey mister, can you tell me where a man might find a bed?"
He just grinned and shook my hand, "no" was all he said.
Take the load off fanny, take a load for free;
Take a load off fanny, and you put the load right on me.
I picked up my bag, i went looking for a place to hide;
When i saw carmen and the devil walking side by side.
I said "hey carmen, come on, let's go downtown."
She said "i gotta go, but my friend can stick around."
Take the load off fanny, take a load for free;
Take a load off fanny, and you put the load right on me.
Go down, miss moses, there's nothing you can say
It's just old luke, and luke's waiting on the judgment day.
"well, luke, my friend, what about young anna lee?"
He said, "do me a favor, son, won't you stay and keep anna lee company?"
Take the load off fanny, take a load for free;
Take a load off fanny, and you put the load right on me.
Crazy chester followed me, and he caught me in the fog.
He said, "i will fix your rack, if you'll take jack, my dog."
I said "wait a minute, chester, you know i'm a peaceful man."
He said, "that's okay, boy, won't you feed him when you can."
Take the load off fanny, take a load for free;
Take a load off fanny, and you put the load right on me.
Catch a cannon ball now, take me down the line.
My bag is sinking low, and i do believe it's time
To get back to miss fanny, you know she's the only one
Who sent me here with her regards for everyone.
Take the load off fanny, take a load for free;
Take a load off fanny, and you put the load right on me.

47. _ Get Out Of Denver
Original performer: bob seger
I still remember it was autumn and the moon was shining
Our 60 cadillac was roaring through nebraska whining
Doing 120 man the fields was bending over
Heading up for the mountains knowing we was traveling further
All the fires were blazing and the spinning wheels were turning turning
Had my girlfriend beside me, brother, she was burning burning
I walked up back to speak to this southern funky school teacher
She had a lot of somethig heavy but we couldn't reach her
We told her we needed something that would get us going
She pulled out all she had and laid it on the counter showing
All i had to do was lay my money down and pick it up
The cops came busting in and we lit out in a pickup truck
Go! get out of denver, baby, go, go
Get out of denver, baby, go
Get out of denver, baby, go, go
Get out of denver cause you look just like a commie
And you might just be a member
Better get out of denver
Better get out of denver
Well, all red lights were flashing and the sirens were screaming screaming
We had to pinch each other just to see if we were dreaming
Made it to lovely pass in under less than half an hour
Lord, it started drizzling and it turned into a thundershower
The rain was driving but the caddy kept on burning rubber
We kept on driving till we ran into some fog cover
We couldn't see a thing but somehow we just kept on going
We kept on driving all night long and then into the morning
Fog had finally lifted when we looked to see where we was at
We're staring at colorado state policeman trooper cat
Go! get out of denver, baby, go, go
Get out of denver, baby, go
Get out of denver, baby, go, go
Get out of denver cause you look just like a commie

48. _ Sick Of It All
Music: simon & garfunkel lyrics: john popper
Well, my eyes are tired and my knees are weak
And so's my soul, it's been one hell of a week
Not much else could go wrong
But damn, this could make a great song
Well, she looks into my eyes and sees only a friend
And i'm looking back seeing my world at an end
Cause i'm sure that by now she must know
You know, this ain't s bad as songs go
Well i try not to smile, and i try not to stare
And i try not to meet her eyes cause i know nothing's there
It's getting harder every day
But upon reflection, this song is okay
You see when i'm down with the blues
I try to put it to some good use
And if i could make something to play
Well, then something's come of it anyway
So at least my songs are all right
At least at the end of the tunnel there's some kind of light
And if all they do is give me something to write
As far as i'm concerned, my songs are all right
At least my songs are okay
At least they help make the pain the pain go away
And although i know i'll cry myself to sleep tonight
As far as i'm concerned, my songs are all right
My songs are all right
Well, i've got to realize that love isn't real
And all that stays with you is the pain that you feel
I don't see where i could be wrong
So i might as well finish up this song
Oh, love unrequited, so what else is new
I'm one of the many, not one of the lucky few
I've got lots of lonely friends
I bet they wish that this song would end
You see when i'm down with the blues
I try to put it to some good use
And if i can make something to play
Well something's come of it anyway
So at least my songs are all right
At least at the end of the tunnel there's some kind of light
And if all they do is give me something to write
Well, as far as i'm concerned, my songs are all right
At least my songs are okay
At least they help make the pain go away
And even though i'll cry myself to sleep tonight
Well, rest assured, my songs are all right
My songs are all right
Oh, love unrequited, so what else is new
I'm one of many, not one of the lucky few
I said i'm sick of loving her and i'm sick of telling you
I'm sick of being in pain, and i know what to do
She says we're good friends, but she's no friend of mine
I'm sick of being patient, and i'm sick of being kind
I'd love her in a big way but i know she don't care
And i'm sick of finding out that life just ain't that fair
I'm sick of being patient, and i'm sick of being kind
And i'm sick of these new thing that i'm trying to find
I'm sick of he loves her and i'm sick of she loves him
I'm sick of broken hearts and cold hearted whim
The list of what i'm sick of is so long
And finally
I'm getting sick of this song

49. _ As We Wonder
Last night the devil came out to play with me
Singing "let the games begin"
You know the harder i try to play his game
The more impossible to win
And i wonder aloud
Do they understand what the music means
You know a baby
Is singing the blues when it first screams
Playing for some dimes the rate of exchange
Laughing all the way
You know it doesn't really matter what they put us through
As long as we get to play
And i wonder aloud
Do they understand what the music means
You know a baby
Is singing the blues when it first screams
Feeling the crowd on a (seasonal/locational reference)
Freedom to call the tunes
You know you're the ones we came here for
And we won't be leaving soon
And we wonder aloud
Do they understand what the music means
You know a baby
Is singing the blues when it first screams
And we wonder aloud
We wonder aloud
Wonder, wonder, wonder aloud

Music & lyrics: john popper
I wonder if she cried
I wonder what she said
I wonder if i'll ever know
What was going through her head
Was it a shock
Was it a surprise
What was going on
Behind those princeton eyes
Those beautiful princeton eyes
Those goddamn princeton eyes
Years of isolation
Have finally set you free
Luck and relocation
Showed me how i'm supposed to be
There's something in a memory
Something in disguise
Something i just could not see
Blinded by those princeton eyes
Those beautiful princeton eyes
Those goddamn princeton eyes
Dreams and success
Don't have to be the same
But no need to let your bridges burn
Everything is easy
Just play the silly game
One way or another
What better place to learn
I guess you know i'm leaving
And sadly say good bye
As sad as it may be, though
I'm finding it hard to cry
I almost believed you
Almost bought your pack of lies
I guess i was just taken in
By those beautiful princeton eyes
Those beautiful princeton eyes
Those goddamn princeton eyes
Those goddamn princeton eyes
Those goddamn princeton eyes

51. _ Decision Of The Skies
When you're living in a series of atmospheres
You don't stand upon the world, but within it
And the faster that you move, the lighter you become
The farther out you go, the better the view
And you wanna rise
So that you can last
Take it all in slowly
Real fast
The capsule goes at 17,000 miles an hour
To make the sky act like a pond
And if it should slow down
Then the mighty ship will sink
As if falling through the sea
So your destination for the outskirts
Thinks the answer lies beyond
But the slower that you go
The more substantial you become
Come to rest against the pure and solid center
And you wanna last
So that you might rise
Take it all in slow
That's the decision of the skies
The decision of the skies
Your best discovery will always be
Simply what you see
And there's something to look at
...everywhere
Devoid of any destination
Yes, you're part of a relation
From the cold ocean floor
And beyond the softest air
When you're living, you're just a series of atmospheres
Whatever velocity appeals
And no matter how you move
You're going to become
You cannot end and there's no beginning
The farthest you can go is right behind you
The closest you can get is nowhere near
And it could make you wonder where
When you're discussing here or there
And do you really have to get going
And nothing lasts
And only time really flies
And you're always free
From the decision of the skies
Decision of the skies

52. _ Change
Music & lyrics: john popper
I can feel the autumn on the summer's heels
I hate to notice how much colder the night it feels
And you're leaving
Yes, you're leaving
Time to change
Time to change
I can remember a time not too long ago
But now i almost wish i didn't so
These memories wouldn't hurt me so
Wouldn't hurt me so
Afraid of change
Afraid of change
Just take what you learn from your past
Feel your heart and your mind yearning and burning and learning and turning so fast
So damn fast
Freedom of change
Freedom of change
Time for your dreams to be put to test
Time to find out that you're just like the rest
It's so deceiving
So deceiving
A part of change
A part of change
Can you feel the excitement that's about to take place
A bold new adventure with so many dangers you must face
At times you'll hope, but you're all to hold on to
And freedom, and untold possibilities couldn't stop you
Some freedoms make you free to last
Of all the questions you might ask, let this one go
Let this one go
Will i change
Yes you will change
So the road is yours and without end
Remember me always, because i am your friend
I am your friend
And now change
You and i will change
And we'll be all right
Yes we will

53. _ Never A Lover And Always The Friend
Music & lyrics: john popper
Come to me madam, come one and all
I'll be there to save you from your romancing fall
I'll be there to touch you with some words to a song
And i'll see what i can do to fix what is wrong
You're sharing my power you're sharing my pain
You tell me you love me and i will not complain
My advice seems to work, for you're soon on your way
And you thank me so much and i will tell you it's okay
But a kiss on the cheek is where it will end
Cause i'm never the lover and always the friend
I put on no pressure and know i'm on your mind
I love you forever and i'll always be kind
Loneliness knows me so i know what to say
And i see how it will be so i know when to play
Come share in my power, come share in my pain
Come tell me you love me and i will not complain
My advice seems to work for you're soon on your way
And you thank me so much and i will tell you it's okay
But a kiss on the cheek is where it will end
Because i'm never the lover and always the friend
I can remember a time that was enough
And the safety we had made it seem almost like being in love
Being in love
Oh, love
A bartending minstrel, i will answer your call
A carnival gypsy with his twelve-string crystal ball
I can't really touch you so my songs are all lies
The truth is simply pain and the tears in your eyes
But you can share in my power, you can share in my pain
You can tell me love me and i cannot complain
My advice seems to work and you're soon on your way
And you thank me so much and i will tell you it's okay
But a kiss on the cheek is where it must end
Because i'm never the lover and always the friend
Come share in my power, come share in my pain
You can tell me love me and i cannot complain
My advice seems to work for you're soon on your way
And you thank me so much and i tell you it's okay
But a kiss on the cheek is where it must end

55. _ When The Levee Breaks
Memphis minnie
If it keeps on raining, the levee's going to break,
If it keeps on raining, the levee's going to break,
When the levee breaks i'll have no place to stay.
Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan,
Lord, mean old levee taught me to weep and moan,
Got what it takes to make a mountain man leave his home
Don't it make you feel bad
When you're tryin' to find your way home,
You don't know which way to go?
If you're goin' down south
They go no work to do,
If you don't know about chicago.
Cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good,
Now, cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good,
When the levee breaks, mama, you got to move.
All last night sat on the levee and moaned,
All last night sat on the levee and moaned,
Thinkin' 'bout me baby and my happy home.
Going, goin' to chicago,
Goin' to chicago,
Sorry but i can't take you.
Going down, going down now, going down.

And that's the corn mash whiskey that they make in tennessee
I'm gonna get back, right now
Don't care where, don't care how
Gonna get back to tennessee
Where my whiskey's waiting for me
Nothing's gonna do it but that corn mash whiskey of mine
Oh, back at home, my baby's got a nice little still
I said back at home, my baby's got a nice little still
She say she gonna leave me, but i don't believe she will
I been wasting my time drinking that jackie d.
I been wasting my time drinking that jackie d.
They say it's got a kick but it don't do the trick for me

59. _ In The Name Of A Cause
Music & lyrics: john popper
Alan had always planned to be a doctor
Servicing mankind was really where it was
Working in small towns, he's unhappy
So great a surgeon deserves some applause
In the name of a cause
In the name of a cause
In the name of a cause
Sylvia's ashamed of her family
They love her a lot, but they never get it right
Marrying a millionaire's mommy
Biding her time, she finally says goodnight
In the name of a cause
In the name of a cause
In the name of a cause
In the name of a cause
Effect has nothing to do with a cause
May we take a pause
For another cause
Bartholomew jones is quite crazy
Ruling men and nations; all of them at war
Braving conflict undaunted
Down to the last bit and not one minute before
In the name of a cause
In the name of a cause
In the name of a cause
Ideas are what you make them

Spinning, spiraling machine
Tumble and toil in my command
Imagination, be my eye
Bring your vision to my hand
Spinning, spiraling machine
I've a prayer for you to hear
Let not your gear wheels fly away
Bringing cause for me to fear
For in this world of grand illusion
Muscles tear and muscles heal
And muscles have their own perception
And muscles need to know the real
It's a muscle that beats and pumps the blood flow
And hearts, they need a chance to grow
Nourished on a chance to understand them
The progress comes out ever slow
Like a flash of lightning to a blind man
A coat of paint upon the wall
You never let them see my horrible pain
You never let them see the fall
I will not care if points a finger
I will not care if called insane
It's in the storm i will find shelter
If lost and lonely i'll complain
Spinning, spiraling machine
You spin and spiral in my head
Tis up to me if i'm to love you
Tis up to me if i'm to dread
Tis up to me if i'm to love you
Tis up to me if i'm to dread

Strung out on moonlight, waiting to be sold
When the sun goes down, the city's just shining on
People running around wondering where the time has gone
When the sun goes down...

Waiting on the corner to see what comes around
Just hanging on the corner to see what's coming down
When the sun goes down, the city's just shining on
People running around wondering where the time has gone
When the sun goes down...
Anything goes
I said anything goes
Anything goes
You know anything goes

63. _ My Only Regret
Music & lyrics: john popper
Please let me speak of my only regret
Let me speak of the girl that i'm sure you've all met
A kind with the earth like a dream that you've had
Terribly happy and wonderfully sad
This dream got to know me when i was in school
She made me look silly while i tried to act cool
She asked me to dance and i flatly refused
For my perpetual fear of being abused
She brushed me once more, and i turned away
So i can't help but wonder, what if i'd stayed
Devoid of a purpose, devoid of a place
I muster my courage by the smile on her face
I'm not used to people didn't know who they were
It needed a reason so i'd do it all for her
To pry for a meeting, how secretly i dreamed
Song and dance to hide, how easily it screamed
She asked me to dance and i flatly refused
For my perpetual fear of being abused
She brushed me once more, and i turned away
But i can't help but wonder, what if i'd stayed
Soon i wound up in a rock and roll band
A conquested number part of my total plan
One night we played for many, but i played for one
She'd not yet arrived and soon we'd be done
We finished too early and another band was on
My hopes for impressing this girl were gone
She asked me to dance and i flatly refused
For my perpetual fear of being abused
She brushed me once more, and i turned away
But i can't help but wonder, what if i'd stayed
She got there soon after and to my surprise
She walked right up to me with those beautiful eyes
She tried conversation, i tried to be bold
I came off indifferent, my manner was cold
I could see i was tired, perhaps unprepared
But the truth of the matter, i was too damn scared
You see she asked me to dance and i flatly refused
For my perpetual fear of being abused
She brushed me once more, and i turned away
But i can't help but wonder, what if i'd stayed
In different directions our two lives have led
And though not with her, but with thoughts in my head
Regrets can be scary, they can choke like a noose
But i also believe they can be put to good use
So follow your views, but be sure that they're yours
And try them out in real life, cause that's what they're for
She asked me to dance and i flatly refused
My perpetual fear of being abused
She brushed me once more, and i turned away
But i can't help but wonder, to this very day
The next time the girl of your dreams asks to dance
Put your dreams on the shelf and just give it a chance

64. _ Ain't That Life
Music: john popper
Lyrics: john popper/rich vink
Sometimes we try to reach the stars
And sometimes we just try
Sometimes we try to live a little
And sometimes we only die
Sometimes we try to hit new heights
And sometimes we hit the ground
Sometimes when we do, it's a silent night
And sometimes, there's a terrible sound
But ain't that life?
Ain't that life, anyway?
We can hope and we can pray
We can try and make a better day
But when it's over, what's left to say
But ain't that life, anyway?
We wanna teach, we wanna learn
We don't wanna feel alone
We want to say that we're gods on earth
We're really just flesh and bone
We're so damn proud of our intellect
That we try and chase the sun
The war of technology's over
We really don't know who won
But ain't that life?
Ain't that life, anyway?
We can hope and we can pray
We can try and make a better day
But when it's over, what's left to say
But ain't that life, anyway?
Teacher in space, went and died in disgrace
The tv sets saw everybody cry
Take another glance at a good distance
And just a couple of people died
With hope in her eyes, she streaked up through the sky
The wreckage washed up on the beach
I wonder if anybody asked her
"is there anyone up there to teach?"
But ain't that life?
Ain't that life, anyway?
We can hope and we can pray
We can try and make a better day
But when it's over, what's left to say
But ain't that life, anyway?
Somewhere, someone's laughing
Somewhere, someone cries
Somewhere, someone sees the truth
While someone else tells lies
Somewhere, there's a christian
Who's contemplating zen
Somewhere, there's a pervert
Luring children to his den
Somewhere, a girl rides a skateboard
And hopes to be president
And somewhere an aging actor
Decides to give up lent
A realtor takes up smoking
But cannot find a match
A kid nearly dies in his dad's new car
But worries about the scratch
A newborn kitten freezes
While two young lovers part
And maybe here, some sucker
Could be taking this song to heart
It's beautiful, it's oh so beautiful
It's beautiful, it's oh so beautiful
Dreams can live long after we're gone
But what's really in a dream?
Sometimes it's the lies in a gambler's eyes
And sometimes, it's a silent scream
Some people die while others are born
And the circle of life goes on
When you get down to it, we're just visitors here
So you can't really do nothing wrong
But ain't that life?
Ain't that life, anyway?
We can hope and we can pray
We can try and make a better day
But when it's over, what's left to say
But ain't that life, anyway?
When it's over, what's left to say...
But ain't that life, anyway?

65. _ The Way
Nobody told me it would be good
But i still wanted it to be
Do your homework like you should
Hoping something sets you free
What'll it be
Afraid of ultimate decay
Never stopping but to rust
Eager to get it underway
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, if you must
And if you want to worship truth
Be it medicine, meditation or god on the evening news
Or a fairy tale i might sing to you
But as you learn you will increase
You will affect your own release
A million ways to hear its voice
And in the end you've got no choice
You will finally feel aware
Of what you're part of everywhere
And there's an answer when you pray
The way of things, there is a way
The way of things, there is a way
You tell me god is dead
Well i say god always was
Life and death, living and dying all at once
That's all it ever does
Could be god is our idea
And ideas never die
Created in its image
We seek its light from up on high, give it a try
And if you want to worship truth
Be it medicine, meditation or god on the evening news
Or a fairy tale i might sing to you
But as you learn you will increase
You will affect your own release
A million ways to hear its voice
And in the end you've got no choice
You will finally feel aware
Of what you're part of everywhere
And there's an answer when you pray
The way of things, there is a way
The way of things, there is a way
I wanna try to play the way
Like r2-d2 squeaks and beeps and tells me everything
You know there's so much else to say
That the only way to even try is to just to start your riffing
Is it the chicken or the egg
It's the very notion to even try to figure out which one came first
I hate to see somebody beg
The infinite eternal chase
The quenching of the thirst
And if you want to worship truth
Be it medicine, meditation or god on the evening news
Or a fairy tale i might sing to you
But as you learn you will increase
You will affect your own release
A million ways to hear its voice
And in the end you've got no choice
You will finally feel aware
Of what you're part of everywhere
And there's an answer when you pray
The way of things, there is a way
The way of things, there is a way
There is a way
There is a way

Music & lyrics: john popper
Misty misty morning
Coming round for my head
Oh i wish i was dead
So i wouldn't have to get up today
I didn't like the morning light
So the world is bloody red
I should go back to sleep instead
Cause it really don't matter either way
But there's a point that's neither night or day
And she smiles, tells me it's okay
And with her left hand, she starts to play and play
Some wind that moves that'll blow you far away
Well maybe some people have died in there
I've lived there forever
And i wouldn't have to be clever
Because then i'd get to stay
If i die tomorrow it'll be filled with sorrow
Like i really can't say
But at least i want to get out today

69. _ The Devil Went Down To Georgia
Original performer: charlie daniels band
The devil went down to georgia, he was looking for a soul to steal
He was in a bind, cause he was way behind
And he was willing to make a deal
Well he come across a young man sawing on a fiddle and he played it hot
The devil jumped up on a hickory stump
And said "boy, let me tell you what
In case you didn't know it, i'm a fiddle player too
And if you care to make a dare
I'll make a bet with you
Now you play pretty good fiddle, son but give the devil his due
I'll bet a fiddle of gold against your soul
Cause i think i'm better than you"
Well the boy said "my name's johnny, and it might be a sin
But i'll take your bet you're gonna regret
Cause i'm the best there's ever been"
Johnny rosin up your bow and play your fiddle hard
Cause hell's broke loose in georgia
And the devil deals the cards
And if you win you'll get this shiny fiddle made of gold
But if you lose the devil gets your soul
The devil opened up his case, and said, "i'll start this show"
And fire flew from his finger tips as he rosined up his bow
When he pulled that bow across the strings, it made an evil hiss
And a band of demons joined in, it sounded just like this
When the devil finished, johnny said, "well you're pretty good old son
But just sit down in that chair right there and let me show you how it's done"
He played fire on the mountain, run, boys, run
The devil's in the house with the rising sun,
Chicken in the breadpan picking out dough,
Granny does your dog bite, "no, child, no"
The devil bowed his head because he knew that he'd been beat
And he laid that golden fiddle on the ground at johnny's feet
And johnny said, "devil, come on back if you ever want to try again
But i told you once, you son of a bitch, i'm the best there's ever been!"
He played fire on the mountain, run, boys, run
The devil's in the house with the rising sun
Chicken in the breadpan picking out dough
Granny does your dog bite, "no, child, no"

Tell albert i'll see him near
Tell old pistol pete
Everybody gonna meet
Tonite we need no rest
We're really gonna throw a mess
We're gonna break out all the windows
Gonna kick down all the doors
We're gonna pitch a wang dang doodle all nite long
Tell fats and washboard sam
That everybody's gonna jam
Just shake it boxcar joe
We got sawdust on the floor
Tell chicken head till i die
We're gonna have a time
When the fish head fills the air
Be snuff juice everywhere
We're gonna pitch a wang dang doodle all nite long

71. _ Didn't Mean To Wake Up
I came so close to paradise
The feelings were so true
You cried for me to come home
Now, i was crying too
We said so many things in anger
There seems little left to do
Than put the pen to paper
I can't write good-bye to you
I didn't mean to wake up
From the dream that was my life
I didn't mean to wake up
I can't stop the changes now
When you wake up in the morning
Don't look for me, i'll be gone
There's a letter on the table
With best regards from john
I didn't mean to wake up
From the dream that was my life
I didn't mean to wake up
I can't stop the changes now
I came so close to paradise
The feelings were so true
You cried for me to come home
Now i'm crying too
I didn't mean to wake up
From the dream that was my life
I didn't mean to wake up
I can't stop the changes now

Hey joe, where you goin' with that gun in your hand?
Hey joe, where you goin' with that gun in your hand?
Goin' out to shoot my lady
You know i caught her messin' 'round with another man
Goin' out to shoot my lady
You know i caught her messin' 'round with another man

Hey joe, you know i heard you shot your woman down

I'm gonna run, gonna run, gonna run, the hangman can't put a rope around me anyhow...

73. _ Roland D. Rhodes
Please, please, he's on his knees
Flying through the air with the greatest of ease
Roland d. rhodes, clean and fat
Worst gets a wish that he never had
Here in the fast lane
He's hard up again
The sweet and the sour
Are one and the same
Forgo all conclusions
It's not over yet
And always remember
You're not who you met
Like roland d. rhodes
Doesn't really know and doesn't seem to care
Can't score a connection to anywhere
Roland d. rhodes isn't worried at all
In fact he tells you that he's having a ball
Here in the fast lane
He's hard up again
The sweet and the sour
Are one and the same
Forgo all conclusions
It's not over yet
And always remember
You're not who you met
Like roland d. rhodes

74. _ The Heavens Get Pissed
Cast an eye up upon the heavens
There's a new attitude in the air
The elements have realized the obvious
They may be [solid then] they're coming aware
The sun and storm can't believe what they're seeing
To some [the natural] had made up their mind
They're still recovering from this rude reaction
And satisfaction is what they have defined
[chorus]
Strap us in the chair
Because the weather's throwing a rager
They're looking down, each expecting to win
The sun and storm have just come to wager
The storm said to the sun "i've got a better idea"
A different bet with a more challenging role
Those people down there are just so damn intriguing
Let's pick out one and fight it out for his soul
The sun said "great, i'll take them for ...
The storm said "i guess i'll take his deepest desire
Whoever wins shall be the lord over heaven
Best to the winner and the loser retires."
[chorus]
The bet was on and the opponents willing
With no holds barred, the rules were brutally clear
Now all they needed was a deserving victim
One whose direction each could alter and steer
Sure enough they happened on a wandering minstrel
No home to speak of and an ambitious mind
With about ... each would ...
To suit the purpose he was a perfect find

76. _ Mmmbop
Original performer: hanson
You have so many
Relationships in this life
Only one or two will last
You're going through all this pain and strife
Then you turn your back and they're gone so fast
And they're gone so fast
So hold on the ones who really care
In the end they'll be the only ones there
When you get old and start losing your hair
Can you tell me who will still care
Can you tell me who will still care

Mmm bop, ba duba dop

Plant a seed, plant a flower, plant a rose
You can plant any one of those
Keep planting to find out which one grows
It's a secret no one knows
It's a secret no one knows

78. _ View
Tranquility can end in all its forms
And disaster can rule the day
I'm sitting in the center of hell
And i yearn to strike the match
And seldom surprised, the damned and cursed
The plans of mice and men
As he's walking out the door with a crowbar
I can hear him as he pries the latch
And the view of the light at the end of the tunnel
Makes me see more that i want to
The finish line's promise so far away
Still remains to get through
Wishing ever skyward, all i seem to see are circling hawks
Once fledglings turned to eagles, i regret having ever, ever urged them on
And all at once a voice reminds me
That salvation comes only to the brave
But the voice is growing fainter as desperately i search
And search for some small glimpse of dawn
And the view of the light at the end of the tunnel
Makes me see more that i want to
The finish line's promise so far away
Still remains to get through
Alas i sit behind an immense boulder
And i pretend to push it up a hill
I claw and scratch my way as the tunnel
On its side becomes a hole
Nervous and in shock from the battle's rage
My mount bucks and rears and throws me to the ground
A broken sword in hand, i get to my knees
I am fighting for my soul
And the view of the light at the end of the tunnel
Makes me see more that i want to
The finish line's promise so far away
Still remains to get through
And the view of the light at the end of the tunnel
Makes me see more that i want to
The finish line's promise so far away
Still remains to get through

79. _ When Johnny Comes Marching Home
Take a look out to the east, where the sun will rise
And think of all the possibility it brings
And it's that which makes it seem a hope that life dead lies
With its rationale that enslaves kings
But now i can't escape the fact that it feel wrong to me
And though the sun shines all the same i still feel lost
Because illumination doesn't mean you get to see what matters
Sometimes you buy the fear and know the cost
Sometimes you have to buy the fear to know the cost
And when i come marching home
When i come marching home
When johnny comes marching home again to you
I swear it'll be the last time
I close my eyes and i can see a thousand scenes of happy ending
But i'm relieved to wake up to the darkest sky
The night feels clear, the course unchanged
And a lonely wind gives call
The darkest sky allows the brightest stars to steer your own ship by
But now i can't escape the fact those dreams feel real to me
And though before i've laid my siege and faced attack
In the end, i must admit, i'm just the least bit terrified
For the first time i look for home and i think of starting back
For the first time, i think of starting back
The heart that beats
Is a heart that grows
And through torrid gale
I hold it wheel, because i know
Where you are
Is where i'll be
But it's who you are
That already gives comfort to me
And should the dawn ever decide to set me free
Perhaps in a new way by the light of day
I could learn to face the sunrise
But that still remains for you and i to see
Cause now i'm able to escape that i'm alone in this
And though before i've always taken it that way
And though i'm not used to the exercise
I can offer you my hand
I might even learn to love the light of day
I might even learn to love the light of day
And when i come marching home
When i come marching home
When johnny comes marching home again to you
I swear it'll be the last time
Because this time i want to stay
I won't ever want to go away
And when i come marching home again to you
I swear it'll be the last time

80. _ You Rescued Me
Music & lyrics: john popper
What about the time
When you seemed to need a friend
Not to be your champion
At least i could pretend
And it took so long to know you
For me to finally see
In the midst of my confusion
When i tried to rescue you
You rescued me
You rescued me
You rescued me
You rescued me
You rescued me
I don't think me too conceited
But i didn't think you could
Or maybe just too used to solitude
Do you think anybody would
You welcomed me completely
Smiled at what was inside
When the game of hide and seek was over
And to my sweet surprise
I didn't need to hide
And you rescued me
You rescued me
You rescued me
You rescued me
I could tell you how you're beautiful
In every way that i know
Or admit how much i need you
How i need you not to go
But for me these things are difficult
Still battling with my pride
But there is some cause for hoping
Because though the battle isn't over
At least just now i tried
And you rescued me
You rescued me
You rescued me
You rescued me
And i ask you to be patient
These things are hard for me to say
And thought it took so long to stay please, don't go away
If only, but if only, my face is turning red
Ah screw it, here goes nothing
I love you, i love you
And if now i'm feeling free
It's only because you rescued me
And you rescued me
You rescued me
You rescued me
You rescued me

81. _ All Up To You
Well, it seems no one can protect you
And your friends just don't understand
When your hopes and your courage neglect you
And no arm long enough to lend a hand
When your road seems like any other
Cold and dry, wonder why
You've just gotta believe one way or another
It's just gotta be worth one more try
And though the world is spitting venom
And there ain't nothing nobody else can do
Simply remember that it's all
All up to you
When your heart's been crushed like a baby
When the one you love is walking away
What's left of you is thinking how just maybe
You might find that's that special something left to say
And that cruel, cruel heaven above you
Let it be soft, just let her go, let her go
Facing it, she just doesn't love you
I know it hurts, lord i know
And though without her, it seems you've got nothing
No matter all the heavy heartache you've been through
Truth of the matter, though it's hard to swallow
It's still all up to you
Up to you
I know sometimes the answer ain't easy
Sometimes it's hard enough to carry on
But i know somewhere, somebody needs me
If the entire loving universe was gone
All that i'm saying is that pain comes from you
From deep inside, don't run and hide
Unto thine own self you must be true
If you've ever laughed or ever cried
Now you could say i've had one too many
You could say i've had one too few
Either way, you know it's okay
I'd live on to fight just one more day
Call it a matter of foolish pride
But at least i could say that at least i tried
Once and forever, it's still all up to you

83. _ Far Away
Music & lyrics: john popper
Sometimes when i'm far away i ask myself
Are you all right, are you okay
Sometimes i laugh out loud or to myself
Thinking about something funny you might say
When i'm far away
Do you call my name
This is something i need to know
When you call my name
Do you really think of me
Please won't you tell me yes or no
I'm thinking back on all the times i needed you
But knew somehow it was never meant to be
Then i have to ask myself just one more time
Was there ever once that you just needed me
When i'm far away
Do you call my name
This is something i need to know
When you call my name
Do you really think of me
Please won't you tell me yes or no
I guess all that's left to say is i'm proud of you
I hope that i'll see you again some day
And i know very well i'll be near you again
The time will come when i won't be too far away
When i'm far away
Do you call my name
This is something i need to know
When you call my name
Do you really think of me
Please won't you tell me yes or no

I know you can't control yourself any longer
Come on, shake your body baby, do the conga
I know you can't control yourself any longer
Come on, shake your body baby, do the conga

Feel the rhythm of the music getting stronger
Don't you fight it 'til you tried it, do that conga beat
Everybody gather 'round now
Let your body feel the heat
Don't you worry if you can't dance
Let the music move your feet
It's the rhythm of the island, and like the sugar cane so sweet
If you want to do the conga, you've got to listen to the beat
Come on, shake your body baby, do the conga
I know you can't control yourself any longer
Feel the rhythm of the music getting stronger
Don't you fight it 'til you tried it, do that conga beat
Feel the fire of desire, as you dance the night away
'cause tonight were gonna party, 'til we see the break of day
Better get yourself together, and hold on to what you've got
Once the music hits your system, there's no way your gonna stop
Come on, shake your body baby, do the conga
I know you can't control yourself any longer
Feel the rhythm of the music getting stronger
Don't you fight it 'til you tried it, do that conga beat
Come on, shake your body baby, do the conga

86. _ With You
Music & lyrics: john popper
Forgive me this intrusion, please forgive me this cardinal sin
But i have to inform you how lucky you happen to be
There's an army behind you no matter the trouble you're in
And if it isn't an army, well i'm sure that at least you have me
There are times when it seems like
Your dreams have come to an end
They're the times right before you remember
That you've got a friend
A part of me will be with you wherever you go
And i guess this is my cute little way of letting you know
You see i know sometimes it's enough to drive you insane
But no matter the pressure you're under, no matter the pain
With some luck and some laughter we'll get through
Because forever after i am with you
With you
Oh with you
With you
Late night summer sunrise comes to mind whenever i think of you
There's fear in your eyes and a satisfied smile on your face
You're my friend and i love you
I'm entertained and scared by the things you do
A heart full of laughter that none on this earth could replace
There are times when it seems like
Your dreams have come to an end
They're the times right before you remember
That you've got a friend
A part of me will be with you wherever you go
And i guess this is my cute little way of letting you know
You see i know sometimes it's enough to drive you insane
But no matter the pressure you're under, no matter the pain
With some luck and some laughter we'll get throughv because forever after i am with you
With you
Oh with you
With you
In closing all i can say is try not to look for an answer
Life and its logic tend to dance and to always rearrange
I'm sure you'll be fine in every sense you're a hell of a dancer
Besides i'm with you and that's one thing that will never change
There are times when it seems like
Your dreams have come to an end
They're the times right before you remember
That you've got a friend
A part of me will be with you wherever you go
And i guess this is my cute little way of letting you know
You see i know sometimes it's enough to drive you insane
But no matter the pressure you're under, no matter the pain
With some luck and some laughter we'll get through
Because forever after i am with you

In the picture is a tepee
I can handle this every day
I'm down here at johnny's restaurant, and so
I don't care about em lagging in their way
Oh, the principles of power
Grow balanced every year
Though i may not survive, it's the next man
For whom the crowd should cheer
And this is the american way
Yeah this is the american way
Just roll the dice, and we come to play
Give me the american way
I could have come from sweden
But i would have gotten tired
And the struggle for my family's life or death
It keeps my heart inspired
Yes we like to face the gamble
And we love to make the stand
And we worship in the shopping malls
With lotto tickets in our hand
And this is the american way
Yeah this is the american way
Just roll the dice, and we come to play
Give me the american way
Call it a travesty or an empire
But i prefer to call it home
No matter trod the horseman
Will soon become to rome
I said maybe the rules are broken
But tradition's kept alive
There just isn't one miracle
But thirty little tries
Yeah, that's the american way
This is the american way
Yeah, this is the american way
All the players have been played and played and played
They love the american way
That's why we want to stay
Give up the american way
Just roll the dice and we come to play

Shadows of the evening crawl across your skin
You walk across with your flower in your hand

90. _ Hard To Exist
You know how i tend to feel when nothing's happening
Like some big old bird so fat that he just can't fly
Far be it from me to be overreacting
My body hurts like hell and all i can do is wonder why
Like i'm in prison, my mind is occupied with busting out
When our sleeper has risen
Said what are these walking blues about
Hey peter pan come play with me
Please forget your lessons
The wind is warm outside
The breeze is blowing fast and free
I don't seem to care that much
But now when you're waiting for mama, says she
"right now my mind is wandering up with the wind, just peter pan and me."
Without being artistic, i prefer to trust my heart again
It seems so sadistic, to try to write down
When i'm walking out again
Well, well well well, welcome aboard to the rest of your life
This is it, you're really in it now, good luck and good-bye
And oh look, there goes a youth, watch options fade to mist
That's all right, baby, you'll do fine, baby, it's so hard
Terribly hard, terribly hard, terribly hard...
To exist
You know how i tend to feel when nothing's happening
Like some big old bird so fat that he just can't fly
Far be it for me to be overreacting
My body hurts like hell and all i can do is wonder why
Like i'm in prison, my mind is occupied with busting out
When the sleepers have risen
Said what are these walking blues about
Terribly hard, terribly hard, terribly hard...

I wanna show you that your wildest dreams can come true

Maybe i'm wrong thinking you want something better
Maybe i'm wrong thinking you got no problem making it through the night
Maybe i'm wrong about every little thing i'm talking about
Maybe i'm wrong, but just maybe, maybe i'm right
No, it's none of my business but i think i can make you happy
But it really doesn't matter if it's me or it's someone else
All that i know is that i think you're kinda special
And one way or another gonna see that i can treat you well
Maybe i'm wrong thinking you want something better
Maybe i'm wrong thinking you got no problem making it through the night
Maybe i'm wrong about every little thing i'm talking about

Well, i've been trying to believe that the lady just ain't that dumb
Oh, just give her time to get here
And i'm sure that when she gets here
She'll be really glad to be here when she comes.
Maybe i'm wrong thinking you want something better
Maybe i'm wrong thinking you got no problem making it through the night

92. _ Some Things I Will Not Pretend
In an act of desperation she tried to play the game
And finalize the deal, now they would never be the same
He wondered if inside him, he should have hidden what was real
Couldn't learn to live without it, how was it supposed to feel
Her voice then broke the silence saying soon they'd both forget
Then another silence, then he said without regret
I will not be afraid
Though there ain't no miracles coming round the bend
Sometimes it's better just to let them end
Pain is your foe unless you make it your friend
And some things, some things i will not pretend
In a decision made in haste, he quickly said good bye
To a world he couldn't get through, but a world well worth a try
It is a lesser road now traveled, took him away from what he knew
And as his words became reality, he wondered what to do
But for reasons beyond his reckoning, he was so free from fear
And i wondered who was speaking as i listen to him here
I will not be afraid
Though there ain't no miracles coming round the bend
Sometimes it's better just to let them end
Pain is your foe, unless you make it your friend
And some things, some things i will not pretend
Felix lost his magic bag of tricks
For how else is a kitty cat gonna get his kicks
He tried believing that he knew where his magic bag was at
He tried believing in the beat up black felt top hat
He knew the show was bad, and the trick was a lie
But he didn't want to tell them, because they thought that he might cry
He could be inside a bottle or a camouflage vest
But the world is just a pillow, and we all need a rest
But don't forget that when you and your dreams have survived
Remembrance is the pain that keeps those things alive
And he woke up the next morning and it was all swept away
I bet i'd know what felix would say
He'd say
I will not be afraid
Though there ain't no miracles coming round the bend
Sometimes it's better just to let them end
Pain is your foe, unless you make it your friend
And some things, some things i will not pretend

94. _ The Path
When the sun and the storm refuse to yield
Each celebrating power that they wield
Their stubbornness and strength are revealed
And they combine to grow the crops in every field
And the partnership is sealed
I've come to realize they've grown me too
And there isn't much about it either can do
When dreams that you chase after shower you
While the love that you allow comes shining through
Creates a path of every hue
This path is narrow
Just wide enough to follow
I wonder where it will go
So i shall try, with my sharpest eye
To keep this rainbow in my view
(rapping)
Prepared is the way i see
Before me lies my destiny
It sprawls out to infinity
Should i choose to step upon
Always just believeable
With colors inconceivable
It forces me to see him
For what hope has now become
...what hope has now become
This path is narrow
Just wide enough to follow
I wonder where it will go
So i shall try, with my sharpest eye
To keep this rainbow in my view
So i teeter, so i sway
Eternally almost falling off, i'm on my way
The path so fragile
And the path forgives
But only he who seeks its color truly lives
This path is narrow
Just wide enough to follow
I wonder where it will go
So i shall try, with my sharpest eye
To keep this rainbow in my view
This path is narrow
Just wide enough to follow
I wonder where it will go
So i shall try, with my sharpest eye
To keep this rainbow in my view
The sun on the one hand
And the storm on the other
Only when i stand between
Do i become yet another

Music & lyrics: john popper
I ain't no broken-winged bird
My reams fly high
And i can't go on a memory
Can't accept or deny
I don't really know how to feel now
But i'm getting used to that
How instantly the feelings
Never leave and still come back
And that same old role has been played
And that age old course has been laid
And as usual, i'm afraid
But by heaven or hell, i will not be swayed
By the light of the moonlight serenade
By the light of the moonlight serenade
I think my heart is a racehorse
Whenever you're around
When there's usually a leaf
It tumbles to the ground
And i'm looking out my window
At a brand new day's begin
A junkie who is hurting
For seeing you again
And that same old role has been played
And that age old course has been laid
And as usual, i'm afraid
But by heaven or hell, i will not be swayed
By the light of the moonlight serenade
By the light of the moonlight serenade
But if it takes till forever
I will try to understand
Though i guessed i may never
These wings won't let me land
So i still keep on guessing
Till an instant makes it clear
This instant i am addressing
The instant you get here
I feel your soul coming on
And soon will fill my mind
I guess there are feelings
You just can't leave behind
The racehorse is off and running
And headed round the bend
Though jockey he is fearful
Saying here we go again
And that same old role has been played
And that age old course has been laid
And as usual, i'm afraid
But by heaven or hell, i will not be swayed
By the light of the moonlight serenade
By the light of the moonlight serenade
By the light of the moonlight serenade

96. _ Put Your Lollipop Away

97. _ Traveler Suite
She's all i ever wanted
She could make me alive
I don't think she's dead or anything, but i still feel haunted
Something in the way she said goodbye
This time
The night before
It could be me but it seemed like i needn't return
That's right little johnny gets to go and fight his war
And as he rides off in the sunset he feels the last ray's burn
And shine
The setting sun, though we ain't done
The setting sun, though we ain't done
The only one that makes me run
The setting sun, though we ain't done
What the hell did she mean
When she turned away and said "don't you ever forget me"
And why the sad routine
The tear in her eye, and my big reply
When i said you'd never let me
Oh no, not she
I found a letter
I found it in a pocket that she must have slipped it in
It basically told me to forget her
Now i ain't no genius, but i think i could begin
To see
The setting sun, though we ain't done
The setting sun, though we ain't done
The only one that makes me run
The setting sun, though we ain't done
With the sun obscured from view
And none but the night left to keep me warm
Is it me my darling, there's nothing left to do
But surrender to the coming storm
Where i am born...
With nothing to lose, and freedom to gain
I rode west at nightfall through freezing rain
Relying on luck, and the wit of my brain
Visions of plunder and endless campaign
Numb the pain
There is comfort in the sun
And the earth is good and soft
Now my sail catch the wind send my chariot aloft
I am rounding all the parapets
As another city burns
Harvest all creation for its ominous return
And then well before dawn
In cover we've gone
Moving on to the next after killing my prey
Growing steadily easier each one i'd slay
By blood and by battle, making my way
Onto the breach and into the fray
When i play...
There is comfort in the sun
And the earth is good and soft
Now my sail catch the wind send my chariot aloft
I am rounding all the parapets
As another city burns
Harvest all creation for its ominous return
And then well before dawn
In cover we've gone
Come hell, come high water, come into me
Storm bring your flood waters, turn desert to sea
Destroy all my obstacles, whatever they be
Extinguish all light and fell every tree
Set me free!
Said a low branch touching the water
Feels the current's take
Said a mighty river bends her
But oh |
98. _ Best Be On My Way
Doorway finds a highway and i'm leaving
Wish me well and send me on my way
Goodbyes and sunrise always leave me feeling
That there's no one here to show me how to stay
And some folks never stray from home
Some with business at the other end of town
And some even dream of striking out on their own
But the ones who really do are the ones that never can be found
Yeah
Oh yeah
Yeah
For all its hell and heartache love is something you can never own
Fate will follow you and leave you as soon as it will
Festering and eating like some cancer down to the bone
In my rear-view mirror, it's haunting me still
There are those who never stray from home
Some with business at the other end of town
And some even dream of striking out on their own
But the ones who really do are the ones that never can be found
Doorway finds a highway and the sunrise finds me gone
A hundred towns with a thousand doors like yours
And a million ways to lose the one that you really care about
And i promise i will return again once more
There are those who never stray from home
Some with business at the other end of town
And some even dream of striking out on their own
But the ones who really do are the ones that never can be found

99. _ She Caught The Katy
Original performer: taj mahal
She caught the katy
Left me a mule to ride
She caught the katy
Left me a mule to ride
Well my baby caught the katy
Left me amule to ride
The train pulled out
I walked on behind
Crazy bout her
That hard-headed woman of mine
Man, my baby long
Great gosh almight my baby tall
I said man, my baby long
Great gosh almighty my baby tall
Well, my baby she long
My baby she tall
She sleep with her head in the kitchen
And her feet out in the hall
Crazy bout her
Hard-headed woman of mine
Well i love my baby
She's so fine
Wish she'd come and see me sometime
She don't believe in a lover
Look what a hole i'm in
She don't believe what i'm saying
Look at the shape i'm in
She don't believe in a lover
Look what a hole i'm in
She don't believe what i'm saying
Look at the shape i'm in
She caught the katy
Left me a mule to ride
She caught the katy
Left me a mule to ride
Well my baby caught the katy
Left me a mule to ride
The train pulled out
And i'm walkin' out behind
Crazy about her
Hard-headed woman
Hard-headed woman of mine

100. _ Blister In The Sun
Original performer:violent femmes
When i'm a-walking, i strut my stuff, then i'm so strung out
I'm high as a kite, i just might, stop to check you out
Let me go on, like a blister in the sun
Let me go on, big hands i know you're the one
Body and beats, i stain my sheets, i don't even know why
My girl friend, she's at the end, she is starting to cry
Let me go on, like a blister in the sun
Let me go on, big hands i know you're the one
When i'm a-walking, i strut my stuff, then i'm so strung out
I'm high as a kite, i just might, stop to check you out
When i'm a walking, i strut my stuff, then i'm so strung out
I'm high as a kite, i just might, stop to check you out
Body and beats, i stain my sheets, i don't even know why
My girl friend, she's at the end, she is starting to cry
Let me go on, like a blister in the sun
Let me go on, big hands i know you're the one

Original musician: wilson pickett/steve cropper
Gonna wait till the midnight hour
When there's no one else around
Gonna wait till the midnight hour
When my love comes tumbling down
I'm gonna take you girl, and hold you

102. _ Cracks In The Stone
To err is human, to forgive can be most divine
You know i found it hard to take it that way once you broke that big heart of mine
Magnanimous in nature, mine was a trusting simple way
Until my platitudes were challenged
And he darkened the world that i threw away
Fire breaks through the cracks of a stone
Seems familiar until it heals in time
Into a new world that has grown
I once worshiped a hero and a friend
Until he turned a chilly back on me
I guess there was no other way
In the end for me to really find and really see
How desperate do you feel and how sad
My hero had become
And that there's pain in this world
Everybody gets some
Fire breaks through the cracks of a stone
Seems familiar until it heals in time
Into a new world that has grown
To err is human, to forgive can be most maligned
You know i found it hard to believe once you broke that big heart of mine
Magnanimous in nature, mine was a trusting simple way
Until my platitudes were challenged
And he darkened the world that i threw away
Fire breaks through the cracks of a stone
Seems familiar until it heals in time
Into a new world that has |
103. _ Faith In You
I hear the trouble is
Making it impossible
For you to meet my eye
Which is worse than anything
Help me to see
What i've done
To make you so ashamed
To make you miss
This supposed expectation
Oh, i couldn't really say
If the promise is in vain
Never gave a thought
Never caused me any pain
Cause trusting you is easy
And i never had to try
As strange as it may seem now
I never wondered why
I have faith in you
I have faith in you
Would you feel that much better
If you never said you lied
Well, your actions give the answer
We're here because you tried to tell me
And what pride
And what hope
And what trust
You could never try to take
It only really takes time
To mend the things that tend to break on you
Oh, i couldn't really say
If the promise is in vain
Never gave a thought
Never caused me any pain
Cause trusting you is easy
And i never had to try
As strange as it may seem now
I never wondered why
I have faith in you
I have faith in you
If it seems like i can't be hurt
I wish that that were true
But sometimes, someone gives in the wrong direction
Leaving work for you to do
Well, i can forgive
And you're worth it to me
Besides, a little faith goes a long way
It can move mountains
And change the weather
And even set everybody free
Oh, i couldn't really say
If the promise is in vain
Never gave a thought
Never caused me any pain
Cause trusting you is easy
And i never had to try
As strange as it may seem now
I never doubted why
I have faith in you
I have faith in you
In you...

105. _ Time Is Free
You recall the day when everybody stopped to see
The blazing sun
Did you really see the way they all looked up and asked that question
"why?"
Boom boom, bang bang look out here it comes again
Can't stop the way it flows
It never knows
Why it goes:
Time is free
Time is free
You been known to take the time to look and want
You been known to take the time to stop the want
That's the place where we all go
I don't know why we do it
Never any reason to be not free
Play a little music
You recall the day when everybody stoped to see
The blazing sun
Did you really see the way they all looked up and asked that question
"why?"
Boom boom, bang bang look out here it comes again
Can't stop the way it flows
It never knows
Why it goes
Time is free
Time is free
Time is
Time is free

106. _ 4th Of July
Music & lyrics: john popper
Well she hated the 4th of july
Bombs bursting in air, and she'd never know why
She'd keep me up all night, too terrified to cry
Oh yes, she hated 4th of july
Don't you be scared, don't you start to shake
Go back to sleep because i am wide awake
I'm right here, i'm not going anywhere tonight
Feel my hand, i'm gonna hold you till the early light
And when the thunder clapped, she'd run to me afraid
She tried to be brave, but she couldn't figure out the terrible sound it made
I was smarter, but she just couldn't see
And when the thunder clapped, she'd always run to me
Don't you be scared, don't you start to shake
Go back to sleep because i am wide awake
I'm right here, i'm not going anywhere tonight
Feel my hand, i'm gonna hold you till the early light
Oh yes, she loved the world on a crisp, autumn day
The leaves would turn her color, the children were at play
Sit on hilltops with her, she'd smile as if to say
You couldn't touch the world when autumn comes this way
And i don't believe she cared for getting old
The limbs move a little slower, the hearing just goes cold
One day she looked at me through a gray haired eye
And i couldn't believe she was telling me good bye
Don't you be scared, don't you start to shake
Go back to sleep because i am wide awake
I'm right here, i'm not going anywhere tonight
Feel my hand, i'm gonna hold you till the early light
And i do believe her soul was rich and blue
We taught each other lessons, lessons that we knew
When we kept growing, there was nothing we could do
But i loved her and i know she loved me too
Now you can call me a sentimental fool
But i learned more from her than i ever did in school
I still get apprehensive, i still remember why
When the thunder claps or it's the 4th of july
Don't you be scared, don't you start to shake
Go back to sleep because i am wide awake
I'm right here, i'm not going anywhere tonight
Feel my hand, i'm gonna hold you till the early light
Oh yes she hated the 4th of july

107. _ Mind To Ramble
I got a mind to ramble
I got a mind to leave this town
I got a mind to ramble
I got a mind to leave this town
Well if i don't go to memphis
I'll be alabama-bound
I hate to hear that
I hate to hear that whistle blow
I hate to hear that
I hate to hear that lonesome train whistle blow
Every time i hear it blow, i feel just like writing to you
Well hello baby, i had to call you on the telephone
Said hello pretty mama, i had to call you on the telephone
Well i am here today, but tomorrow i might be gone
Said yeah
Well alright
Alright
I said goodbye baby
Darling if you really want to call back home
I said goodbye pretty mama
Darling if you really want to call back home
I got a new woman
She gonna move into your happy home
I got a mind to ramble
I got a mind to leave this town
I got a mind to ramble
I got a mind to leave this town
Well if i don't go to memphis
I'll be alabama-bound
