1. _ Sugar Trade
Now back when this earth was a silver blue jewel
And back when your grandfather's father was young
Men of these shores made and gave up their lives
Pulling up fish from the sea
While down in the african slavery trade
Stealing young men to cut sugar cane
Rum to new bedford and codfish from maine
They were building a wall that will always remain
Oh, the crown and the cross the musket and chain
The white man's religion, the family name
Two hundred years later and who is to blame?
The captain or the cargo or the juice of the sugar cane
The doryman he knows when the riptides will run
He sets out his nets and he sits in the sun
He thinks of his family and drinks of his rum
And he waits for the codfish to come
It's the same god-damned ocean that keeps them alive
It will swallow you up, it will let you survive
It will heal you and steal you and take you away
Like a note in a bottle with nothing to say
Now back when this earth was a silver blue jewel
And back when your grandfather's father was young
Men of these shores made and gave up their lives
Pulling up fish from the sea

2. _ London Town
I do believe
I must believe
I think i can begin again
Become again the man i was back when
So i'm walking on your streets again
Feeling now as i did then
I've since become a different man
London town, turn be around
London town, carry me back
O london town, lost and found
And i feel like going back
I can remember lots of time and space
If i lose the name, still i know the faces
Time as come and left its traces
London town, turn be around
London town, carry me back
O london town, lost and found
And i feel like going back
When i grew too old and dull to rock 'n roll
Like to hold on tight to you darling
And when my fires have all burned out
I'd like to think i can still think about
The things i used to sing about
When i was spending all my time alone
By myself and on my own
Seldom seen and quite unknown
London town, turn be around
London town, carry me back
O london town, lost and found
And i feel like going back

3. _ Stand And Fight
Lonely hearted hunter don't say nothing
The hunger and the hurt
Got only one law
Never mind your words
Unseen, unheard, unsung, undone
Ain't bot one place left to run
Stand up, stand and fight
Undercover creature that don't see sunshine
Make it in the dark
Don't think twice
Never mind making nice
Black eyes, black sights, black magical rites tonight
There comes a time, babe
Stand up, stand and fight
Don't you worry 'bout me little darling
No, i ain't breaking
I'm shaking and aching
'cause i can't stand waiting
There comes a time to stand and fight
Maximum destruction
Blood red deadheads
Tearing it up, wearing it down
Never mind my name
I'm unclaimed, unnamed and unashamed
I'd like to say
Fan the flames
Stand and fight
You ain't doing nobody no kind of favors
Lying around like a rug on the floor
Sooner or later you've got to stand up
And say you won't take it any more
Stand up, stand and fight

4. _ I Will Follow
Yonder mountain so high
I can't make it all on my own, no
Rolling river why so wide?
To sweep me up and to bear me on
Up against the sky so bright
That i can't even close my eyes
I know i will follow (follow love)
Yes, yes, i will follow (follow love)
I will follow (follow love)
Follow love
Growing slowly like a tree
Someday soon, darling i love you
I love you
Soft and gentle, full summer moon
Set my soul free
Thank you, baby
Drifting like a cloud in the sky
I can see myself from high above
I know i must follow (follow love)
Somehow i will follow (follow love)
I must follow (follow love)
Follow love
Oh, half the future and half the past
They're waiting inside your eyes
Yes, and after all of this
To last and last
Till at last it's your time to rise, rise
True believer that i am
I am blind, lead me on (lead me on)
Blessed receiver of your love
I own my own time
And i've been holding on (holding on)
Leave the word unspoken
And the spell will not be broken
And i'm bound to follow, now (follow love)
I know i must go (follow love)
I must follow (follow love)
Yes, i must follow (follow love)
Someone to hold my hand (follow love)
Somebody to lead me on(follow love)
Somebody to walk beside me (follow love)
Someone to follow me now (follow love)
I must follow love (follow love)
I will fall in love
I will follow love (follow love)
Anywhere it leads me
I will follow love (follow love)
Follow love

5. _ Only For Me
Down the end of this barroom,
Out of sight of the light in the window
His mind in his whiskey
And his body in a folding chair
Far beyond repair
I enter his vision
He watches me look for my seat
He makes his decision
And he stands to his feet
Lord, it's a long way down
It happened to me
Wonderful sight
Only for me
Only for you
It happened to be a light shining through
Form one who was lost and found
Just like me and you
Old man says, "young man, my you're looking
Pretty green
Like a stranger to this kind of place
Come sit at my table
Come and look into my face
I've got a story to tell."
"there was a father and son
But that was a long time ago
And when the time came to run
I just couldn't say no
So i left them behind."
It happened to me
Wonderful sight
Only for me
Only for you
It happened to be a light shining through
Form one who was lost and found
Just like me and you
We have seen it before
In times of great sorrow
That human compassion will flow from a well
That has long run dry
It happened to me
Wonderful sight
Only for me
Only for you
It happened to be a light shining through
Form one who was lost and found
Just like me and you

6. _ Hard Times
We've seen some hard times, hard times
Holding it together ain't always easy
An angry man, hungry woman
They're driving each other crazy
It's so low down, show down
There's nothing else safe to say
Baby's on the town, baby's looking 'round
Talking 'bout walking away
Don't let go
Got to give it one more chance
We've got to hold on
Loving me may not make much sense
But i'm gone on you, baby
Baby, i'm gone
And i want you back again
I may be wrong for you, baby
Maybe i'm wrong
But i love you just the same
Now, we've got to hold on, got to hold on
We've got to hold on, got to hold on
We've got to hold on, got to hold on
We've got to hold on, got to hold on
We've got to hold on, got to hold on
Hard times, hard times
Holding it together ain't always easy
Angry man, hungry woman
Driving each other crazy
We've got to hold on through all
Those hard times

7. _ Summer's Here
Summer's here
I'm for that
Got my rubber sandals
Got my straw hat
Got my cold beer
I'm just glad that i'm here
Summer's here
That suits me fine
It may rain today
But i don't mind
It's my favorite time of the year
And i'm glad that i'm here
Old man wintertime
He goes so slow
It's ten degrees below, you know
You can take your ice and snow
And let my balmy breezes blow
Yeah, the water is cold but i've been in
Baby, lose the laundry and jump on in
I mean all god's children got skin
And it's summer again
Old man wintertime
He goes so slow
It's ten degrees below, you know
You can take your ice and snow
And let my balmy breezes blow
Summer's here
I'm for that
Got my rubber sandals
Got my straw hat
Drinking cold beer
Man i'm just that i'm here
It's my favorite time of the year
And i'm glad that i'm here, yeah

8. _ That Lonesome Road
Walk down that lonesome road all by yourself
Don't turn your head back over your shoulder
And only stop to rest yourself when the silver moon
Is shining high above the trees
If i had stopped to listen once or twice
If i had closed my mouth and opened my eyes
If i had cooled my head and warmed my heart
I'd not be on this road tonight
Carry on
Never mind feeling sorry for yourself
It doesn't save you from your troubled mind
Walk down that lonesome road all by yourself
Don't turn your head back over your shoulder
And only stop to rest yourself when the silver moon
Is shining high above the trees

9. _ Believe It Or Not
Believe it or not
I've been waiting for you to come through
Love of my life
Believe it or not
I've been waiting for you to come through
Love of my life
And though the hour grew later and later
I would hold on for one more heartbeat
While my friends around me were calling
"today, today, today, today"
As strange as it seems
I remember your face from before
Believe it or not
Before you and i were washed up
On this alien shore
As strange as that seems
Though the hour grew later and later
Still i'd hold on for one more heartbeat
While my friends around me were calling
"today, today, today, today"
Today the world seems brighter
Light and bright and right somehow
I could not have held on tighter
Waiting for the past to come to pass, no
Once in a dream i've seen myself through your eyes
This you should know
Wading the stream that flows in between you and i
Once in a dream
And though the hour grows later and later
I would hold on for one more heartbeat
While my friends around me were calling
"today, today, today, today"

10. _ Her Town Too
She's been afraid to go out
She's afraid of the knock on her door
There's always a shade of a doubt
She can never be sure
Who comes to call
Maybe the friend of a friend of a friend
Anyone at all
Anything but nothing again
It used to be her town
It used to be her town, too
It used to be her town
It used to be her town, too
Seems like even her old girlfriends
Might be talking her down
She's got her name on the grapevine
Running up and down
The telephone line
Talking 'bout
Someone said, someone said
Something 'bout, something else
Someone might have said about her
She always figured that they were her friends
But maybe they can live without her
It used to be her town
It used to be her town, too
It used to be her town
It used to be her town, too
Well, people got used to seeing them both together
But now he's gone and life goes on
Nothing lasts forever, oh no
She gets the house and the garden
He gets the boys in the band
Some of them his friends
Some of them her friends
Some of them understand
Lord knows that this is just a small town city
Yes, and everyone can see you fall
It's got nothing to do with pity
I just wanted to give you a call
It used to be your town
It used to be my town, too
You never know 'till it all falls down
Somebody loves you
Somebody loves you
Darling, somebody still loves you
I can still remember
When it used to be her town, too
It used to be your town
It used to be my town, too

11. _ Hour That The Morning Comes
Mama makes the music and she makes the news
She dances all night in her golden shoes
She's high flying
Going, going , gone
She'll be halfway to heaven by
The hour that the morning comes
And papa's kacked out with his head in his lap
Mama likes to think that he's taking a nap
'cause he's working so hard
Working all night long
He'll be halfway to hell in
The hour that the morning comes
Like a bat out of hell in the moonlight
Like the pieces of the picture
That you broke last night
I'm sure it's going to be all right
I'll be halfway heavy by
The hour that the morning comes
Oh, look at that fool with the lampshade on
Somebody told him he was having fun
But they were wrong
Wrong, wrong, wrong
If he's fool enough he might open his eyes
When the morning comes along
Now look at that secret agent man
Sneaking out of church with blood on his hands
He's for sale
Going, going, gone
He'll be the first to know and the last to go
When the shit hits the fan
Give me a little water
Give me a little wine
You're looking at a man who's been out in the sunshine
Just a little too long
Little bit too long
But i'll be halfway home in
The hour that the morning comes
