1. _ Slave
(carly simon/jacob brackman)
Listening for your footsteps
Just waiting like a fool
Burning with a fever
Only you can cool
The clock beside my pillow
Has ticked away the night
Like a heartbeat mocking me
Until the light
Gotta stop these thoughts about you
Gotta learn to live without you
Gotta find some freedom for this weary slave
'cause i'm hungry for you
And i'm longing for you
And i'm burning for you
I worship your opinions
I imitate your ways
I try to make you grace me
With a word of praise
However much i tell myself
That i'm strong and free and brave
I'm just another woman
Raised to be a slave
Slave, nothing but a slave
Mind of a slave
Body of a slave
I find i gave away the soul
That i wanted you to save
I'm just another woman
Raised to be a slave
Hungry for you
And longing for you
Burning for you
And i'm longing for you
Burning for you
And i'm yearning for you
Longing for you

2. _ Sons Of Summer
(billy mernit)
It makes me smile
To think of what we dreamed of
Where are those sons of summer now
With their wild-haired women in their
Patchwork gowns
Who could laugh the lights away
Nights on the beach and bay
The course on farms
And the course in the bar
Sweet smokin' in the back of the car
Always the first time shines to last like a morning star
Like a morning star
It's been a while since the last time we were dancing
Where are those sons of summer now
With their long-limber ladies who all knew how
To chase the blues away
I've got the blues today
Your ivy days and your clubhouse ways
Wine mug nights when the music played
Love that is real will not fade away like a morning star
Where are those sons of summer now
The winter has come
And you don't know how to turn your
Dreams into coal
Your books won't hold you
The woods get cold
And i feel too old
I begin to question your schoolboy soul
Clever remarks that once won my heart
When the fire won't light they lose their spark
And i can't help but get a little bit blue
Thinking about the precious nothing we
Once knew

3. _ Waterfall
(carly simon)
Something's going down like a waterfall
Some strong feeling's some old love
I saw you and it made no sense at all
Now i feel like there's too much caffeine in my blood
Like a waterfall goin' down
Like a waterfall washing me down
Spinnin' me around
Lord, and i'm drownin'
Like a waterfall going down
Just like a waterfall washing me down
Like a waterfall going down and down and down
You're an old lover making new contact
Making those cold defenses melt
And though lying in your arms is after the fact
Once again i'm feeling like i've never felt
It's like a waterfall going down
Like a waterfall washing me down
Spinnin'me round
Lord, and i'm drowning
Like a waterfall going down
Just like a waterfall washing me down
Like a waterfall going down and down and down

4. _ More And More
(mac rebennack/alvin robinson)
I want to give you more
More and more
More and more
More than just a melody
To let you know that i love you
I want to give you more
More and more
More and more
More than just a song to sing
To let you know that it's the real thing
I want to make us be
You and me
In close harmony
I want to make us be
You and me
In close harmony
Serenades and symphonies
Lullabyes and sweet melodies
We'll make romantic rhapsodies
Music, maestro, if you please
I want to give you more
More and more
More and more
More than just a love affair
Cause, darlin', you can find that anywhere
Lay your head upon my breast
Fondle me with your tenderness
We've got the key to happiness
Close your eyes and i'll do the rest
I want to give you more
More and more
More and more
More than even life itself
I wouldn't settle for nothing else

5. _ Attitude Dancing
(carly simon/jacob brackman)
There's a new kind of dancing
That's gonna be the rage
You just leave yourself behind
Like an actor on a stage
Cop a different pose
>from the pose you're in
Shine a different attitude
>from underneath your skin
Attitude dancing
Strut around the floor in a different attitide
Attitude dancing
Any attitude is the proper attitude
Attitude dancing
Don't be afraid to change your attitude
Attitude dancing
Free up your spirit with a new attitude
It don't even matter
If you stretch or shake
And it don't really matter
What moves your body makes
And it don't really matter
What steps you choose to do
Only one thing matters:
That's your attitude
Your attitude, attitude dancing
Attitude dancing
Strut around the floor in a different attitide
Attitude dancing
Learn to move in another attitude
Attitude dancing
Find the groove in a new attitude
Attitude dancing
Don't be afraid of a new attitude
It don't really matter
What steps you choose to do
Only one thing matters:
Is your attitude
Your attitude, attitude dancing
Strut around the floor in a new attitude
Do the locomotion in a new attitude
Do the mashed potato in a new attitude
Do the hully gully in a new attitude
Find a role you like
Capture it and freeze
Then turn it around
A hundred and eighty degrees
Or if you're at a loss
Observe some natural dude
And turn into a mirror of his attitude
Attitude, attitude, attitude
Dancing

6. _ After The Storm
(carly simon)
Heat's up, tea's brewed
Clothes strewn around the room
Looks like a wind swept through
Made a wild man out of you
And doesn't anger turn you on
And expectation of a calm
After the storm
And your body feels so warm
After the storm
The wind's pulling the moon down
Under the eiderdown
You're taking me to town
And you're tossing me around
You come on like a hurricane
I'm settling like youre weathervane
After the storm
And your body feels so warm
After the storm

7. _ Are You Ticklish
(carly simon)
Are you ticklish
Or did i just hit a funny bone
Are you ticklish
Are we really alone?
Do you like me
Or am i just hoping for too much
Do you like me
Do you like to touch
Do you like me
I hear there's another side to you
Well there's another side to me too
Let's get over to the other side
Real soon
I hear there's an underneath to you
Well there's an underneath to me too
Let's get down underneath
Real soon
Are you lonesome
Well everybody's lonesome
So it's safe to assume you're lonesome
But are you ticklish
Are you ticklish

8. _ Playing Possum
(carly simon)
We lived up here in cambridge
And browsed in the hippest newsstands
The we started our own newspaper
Gave the truth about uncle sam
We loved to be so radical
But like a ragged love affair
Some became disenchanted
And some of us just got scared
Now are you playing possum
Keeping a low profile
Are you playing possum for a while
Then you moved to the country
Bought a farm and tilled the land
Then you took your books to india
And got hooked on a holy man
But the wells they do run dry
And the speeches turn to words
And the woods are full of tigers
And freedom's for the birds
Now you run a bookstore
And you've taken on a wife
You wear patches on your elbows
And you live an easy life
But are you finally satisfied
Is it what you were lookin' for
Or does it sneak up on you
That there might be something more

9. _ Love Out In The Street
(carly simon)
I've seen the sidewalks
And i've been aware
Of the lamps and tables and the paperback books
That you throw out there
All your artifacts
In disrepair
Make up a pile so high
Could tie up the traffic in the thoroughfare
Put your love out on the street
Put your love out on the street
Put your love out on the street
Put your love out on the street tonight
I don't mind your sinning
I'm no saint myself
And if the neighbours call you a hellcat
Then let them call me a jezebel
Cause i've come to know you
I've come to know you so well
>from spying on you from my bathroom window
In this cheap hotel
So let flow the hydrants
And we'll dance in the spray
And we'll wash out our dirty laundry
In the alleyway

10. _ Look Me In The Eyes
(carly simon)
Won't you give me all your limes
And i will give you a reason
I'll rub them on my body
And smell like the west indies
And when i'm feelin' like the islands
And i'm giving you all my sighs
I beg you when you love me -
Look me in the eyes
It's your heat that makes me warm
Makes me climb on you like a tree
And i don't need no fancy dancing
When you bend over me
We'll be like two lazy sunbathers
Swaying palm trees against the sky
And i beg you when you love me -
Look me in the eyes
