1. _ Spy
(carly simon/james taylor/arif mardin)
Got my eye on you, nothing's slipping by
Watching everything you do, like a spy
I come here everynight, i'm like a firefly
Moving through the strobe lights, like a spy
(chorus)
I know your shadow hides, just what i need
There's something there inside, i want to see
I've got to take the lead, undercover lover
I'm so intrigued by you
Been wearing my disguise, for too long a time
Tonight i'm movin' in, like a spy
(chorus)
I know your shadow hides, just what i need
There's something there inside, i want to see
I've got to take the lead, undercover lover
I'm so intrigued by you
You have your reputation in this town
For dressing up and letting people down
Until i find out for myself, i'll follow you around
You were flying high the night we met
I was just another stranger in your bed
But i remember showing you, one thing you won't forget
So here's a little note for you, it says: "please reply
I'm the girl with the blue tattoo of you (it's a bunny), i'm the spy"
(chorus)
I know your shadow hides, just what i need
There's something there inside, i want to see
I've got to take the lead, undercover lover
I'm so intrigued by you

2. _ Pure Sin
(carly simon/frank carillo)
I can barely see your sneakers
You say i got to keep my head down
You're painting my portrait
In a red velvet gown
How do you see me
As demure and discreet?
But do you know what i'll do
Do you know what i'll do
When i go out on the street?
Pure sin, pure sin
The kind you won't mind
The kind there could be trouble in
I can barely see your sneakers
You know they look pretty rough
Well i bet when you get loaded
You can get pretty tough
You pass me the caviar
Say "hey baby do you want something to eat?"
But do you know what i'll do
Do you know what i'll do
When i go out on the street?
Pure sin, pure sin
The kind you won't mind
The kind there could be trouble in
I can barely see your sneakers
You're dripping paint all over the place
Why not get right to the point
And splash it right on my face!
How do you see me?
As silly and sweet?
But do you know what i'll do
When i go out on the street.
Pure sin, pure sin
The kind you won't mind
The kind there could be trouble in

3. _ Never Been Gone
(carly simon/jacob brackman)
The wind is coming up strong and fast
And the moon is smiling on me
Miles from nowhere so small at last
In between the sky and the sea
I'm bound for the island
The tide is with me
I think i can make it before dawn
It's night on the ocean
I'm going home
And it feels like i've never
I've never been gone
Seagulls cry and the hills are green
And my friends are waiting for me
Freat ambition is all a dream
Let me drown my pride in the sea -
I'm bound for the ocean
The tide is with me
I think i can make it by dawn
It's night on the ocean
I'm going home
And it feels like i've never
I've never been gone
Oh it feels like i've never
I've never been gone

4. _ Memorial Day
(carly simon)
It should have been so soft, this morning as we left
But the valley was infected, by a different kind of beauty
And the indians they knew, it was a devil's sanctuary.
Out of this unholy dawn, a car came stirring up the sand
And a woman from a passion play
Held up the limousine that brought me
All this way today. and i didn't need to turn around
So strong was the message, and the man who planned her life
Commanded all that followed: well they bellowed, and they hollered
And they threw each other down, down in this valley
This cruel and lovely valley, oh it should have been an alley
In some low down part of town
As the lights came up, there was no sun
And brandy splattered all over the ground
As this woman with her head held high
Yelled love and why oh why, you're killing me oh follow me-
As i watched safe and clean, from the frosted windows of that limousine
Well they bellowed and they hollered, and they threw each other down
Down in this valley, this cruel and lovely valley
Oh it sould have been an alley, in some low down part of town
Before he'd been so funny, imagining the best:
That he'd escaper recrimination, for abandoning the nest
He'd been joking and stoned, while he was entertaining me
But then turned and was stunned, by her panic and her misery
And i was in the get-away car
Giving him a chance, to get away
Get away, get away
And how the valley smoked, as he crossed route 25
With his cymbals and his shattered crown, leaving all alone
His eyes fixed on the ground. and he didn't even turn around
So strong was the message, and he fell into the shallow sky
And was swallowed.
Well they bellowed and they hollered, and they threw each other down
Down in this valley, this cruel and lovely valley
Well it should have been an alley, in some low down part of town

5. _ We're So Close
(carly simon)
I've lived in all of the houses he's built
The one in the air
The one underground
The one on the water
The one in the sand
He says: it doesn't matter how we live
He says: it doesn't matter where we live
We're so close we can dispense with houses
We don't need a home at all
It's come to be a habit with me to dine alone
You're never home
And the evenings end so early
He says: we can be close from afar
He says: the closest people always are
We're so close that in our separation,
There's no distance at all.
Sometimes i gout to the car,
Turn on the headlights
Intending to leave-
Sometimes i need to hear the words,
My imagination's not as strong as you'd believe-
But i've talked to you;
You haven't listened at all.
I've said i'm numb,
I can't even cry,
I'm stuck with acting out a part.
He says: what do words ever reveal?
He says: in speaking one can be so false-
We're so close we have a silent language,
We don't need words at all.
There's a husky voice
That speaks to me in the dark
And on the phone from studios
And westside bars,
Through tunnels of long distance.
He says: we're beyond flowers
He says: we're beyond compliments-
We're so close we can dispense with love
We don't need love at all.

6. _ Just Like You Do
(carly simon)
If you think you're alone
That you're the only one who is afraid
Let me tell you, i feel just like you do
And sometimes i stand back
>from desires and dreams i don't understand
They overwhelm me
I feel just like you do
(chorus)
I feel just like you do
I feel just like you do
Just like you do
Just like you do
I feel just like you do
Just like you do
I feel just like you do
And when it comes to love
You want me to be the one to say
The words: i love you
But i feel just like you do
But let's try to return
To that brave innocence we once knew
I wish you were an ocean
So i could jump into you
(chorus)

7. _ Coming To Get You
(carly simon)
Last night you called me from arkansas
So that's where you are!
I'm coming to get you, let there be no mistaking
So they think they can take you away from your ma -
I'm coming to get you, let there be no mistaking
Mother in-law, father in-law
Lovers and lawyers in arkansas
Laid down the law;
Said i was crazy
Crazy and lazy
They expect me to go before a judge and stand there shaking
While my heart is breaking
I'm coming to get you, let there be no mistaking
I'm coming to get you, let there be no mistaking
I'm coming to get you, let there be no mistaking
Mother in-law, father in-law
Lovers and lawyers in arkansas
Laid down the law;
Said i was crazy
Crazy and lazy
Oh i'm gonna get a judge who is a lady
I'm comin' to get you, let there be no mistaking
Maybe she knows about having a baby.
I'm coming to get you, let there be no mistaking
I'm coming to get you, let there be no mistaking
I'm coming to get you, let there be no mistaking

8. _ Vengeance
(carly simon)
That's dangerous driving baby, the policeman said.
I can smell the passion of another man on your breath
I could give you life, get you back for what i saw
That's vengeance he said, that's the law
You throw your misdemeanors right up in my face
The kind of man i am, i got to put you right in your lace
I should lock you up, getyou back for what i saw
That's vengeance he said, that's the law
That's vengeance, oh that's vengeance
Yeah that's vengeance he said, that's the law
You've taken your half out of the middle
Time and time again
But now i'm damned if i'll give you and itch
Till i get even
She said: just because you're stronger and you hold it over me
I'll put the pedal to the floor, and prove to you that i'm free
Though you've stopped me once again, it's not the end of the war
It's vengeance she said, that's the law
That's vengeance, that's vengeance she said,
That's the law

9. _ Love You By Heart
(carly simon/libby titus/jacob brackman)
The lies that you tell will leave you alone
They'll keep you down,
They'll catch you and trip you up
Keep you hangin' around
The habit is old - you don't need it anymore
Go on and kiss it goodbye
'cause you got me, and i can see
Who you really are
I want to show you my heart
I want to know you by heart
And love you by heart
I'm right here beside you
There's nobody else to set you straight
To shake you, to let you know
That it's still not too late -
I want to show you my heart
I want to know you by heart
And love you by heart
Don't make up stories,
I know you by your eyes
I think i know what's inside
The streets you've been on
Will leave you out in the cold
But you know i care,
And years from now
We'll both look down from the top of the stairs -
Here i've shown you my heart
I want to know you by heart
And love you by heart
