1. _ Fever
You'll never know how much i love you
You'll never know how much i care
When you put your arms around me
I get a fever that's so hard to bear
(you give me such a)
Fever in the morning
Fever all through the night
Fever when you kiss me, baby
And fever when you hold me tight
The sun lights up the daytime
The moon lights up the night
Yeah but i light up every time you call my name
And i know you're gonna treat me right
(you know i just can't stand by myself,
'cause i got a fever....)

2. _ Isn't That So
Did he know what he was doing
Putting eyes into my head
If he didn't want me watching women
He should've left my eyeballs dead
Isn't that so
Isn't that so
You've got to go where your heart says go
Isn't that so
Did he know what he was doing
When he divided high and low
You've got to bury the seeds in the dirt my friend
If you want the thing to grow
[chorus]
Well it's the line of the least resistance
That leads me on....
Did he know what he was doing
When he made that perfect vine
His own son got the reputation
Of turning water into wine
[chorus]
You've got to go where your heart says go
Isn't that so

3. _ Ma'oz Tzur (rock Of Ages)
Rock of ages let our song
Praise (your) saving power;
Thou amidst the raging foes;
(you were) our sheltering tower
(our sheltering tower).
Rock of ages let our song
Praise thy saving power;
Thou amidst the raging foes;
(you were) our sheltering tower
(our sheltering tower.)
Furious they assailed us,
But thine arm availed us,
And thy word broke their sword,
When our own strength failed us.
And (your) word broke their sword,
When our own strength failed us.
Children of the (wanderers)
Whether free or fettered
Wake the echoes of the songs
Where ye may be scattered
Yours the message cheering
That the time is nearing
Which will see all men free
And tyrants disappearing
(hope will see all men free,
And tyrants disappearing)

4. _ The Calling
Johnny took the 4:05 and he rode it
Rode it down the line
He did not know that the ghost of charlie christian
Was riding too
That's when he got the feeling
Felt his soul and spirit rise
Closed his eyes and saw a vision
And he was sanctified
He said,
"i have heard a calling
I have heard a calling
I have heard it in the night
And i stood under the light of the calling."
Somebody brushed him on the shoulder
He felt a chill run right down his spine
He did not know that the ghost of charlie christian
Was riding too
(riding too)
But that's when he got the feeling
[with?] the music coming up from the back
Heard the sound of fingers on steel
And a wheel upon a track
(chorus)
He said,
"i have heard a calling
I can heard a calling
Like a priest or a missionary
I am only following the calling."
Following the calling....

5. _ The Days
I was just thinking
Of when we were younger
Under the sky so blue
Laying our blankets out
The things that we talked about
How i remember you
We were like soldiers
We never got older
I guess everything fades away
I'm closing my eyes now
Cause i'm feeling so tired today
Whoa....the days with you
Whoa....the days with you
I told you my secret
Cause i knew you could keep it
There was nothing we had to hide
It was so many years ago
But i just wanted you to know
That i miss you here by my side
Whoa....the days with you
Whoa....the days with you

6. _ Nowhere Fast
When i was a boy
I went running off to school
Went home every evening
Like there was nothing else to do
One night i looked out my window
And while the moon was racing past
I sat up there and wondered
Am i goin' nowhere fast?
I see the telephone post
I watch a sparrow fly
And all the lonely souls know
But i just drive on by
And i think of all the dreams there
That never came to pass
And i can't help but wonder
Hey are we goin' nowhere fast?
Nowhere fast
And i don't have an answer
And i don't have a clue
Why people act so crazy
But i guess i'm crazy too
A little bit crazy too
I watch my baby sleeping
It's been a long hard day
And she looks so peaceful
Lost in the faraway
Sometimes i just wanna hold her
And make one moment last
But all i do is wonder
Hey are we goin' nowhere fast?
Nowhere fast
Nowhere
Are we goin' nowhere fast?

7. _ Take Me To Hamburg
Let's go down to hamburg
Let's go down right now
Let's go down to hamburg
Let's go down right now
I don't wanna go to berlin
Would be such a sin
Let's go down to hamburg
Right now
Don't gimme no paris
Don't gimme no france
Take me to hamburg, baby
Where they know how to dance
I don't need munich
And i don't want rome
Just take me to hamburg
'cause i can't find cologne
Just take me to hamburg
In the music hall
Take me to hamburg
I'm sure we're gonna have a ball
Take me to hamburg....
I really don't miss the usa
I'll stay in europe any old day
I wanna be where i get relief
Give me the place where they invented beef
Take me to hamburg....

8. _ Far Away, Nearby
A little boy sits by the light of the moon
He knows that he's lost something precious too soon
But he's quiety singing a nursery tune
He sings for whoever may hear him
But one day he finds for whatever it's worth
The moon and the stars and the blue spinning earth
They'll all come and go through death and rebirth
And the ones that he's lost will be near him
Chorus:
No matter the distance they're putting between us
Whether on earth or on high
I'll send up a prayer, if you blow me some kisses
From the far away, nearby
Bye
Bye
So whether you're weary or cold as a stone
Baby, maybe you're reeling and feeling alone
But remember your sadness, well it isn't unknown
Just think of the one's that you're missing (and sing)
[chorus]
Middle 8:
You can hear them all singing and dancing
Kicking up their heels from across the divide...listen
You can hear the music playing
A calling out to someone from the other side
[chorus to end]

9. _ Old Soldier
Listen old soldier
Wherever you are
The hills or the valleys
Come near or come far
They say youth is a treasure
We waste when we're young
So come down from that place
Where your medals are hung
You're forever returning
And yearning to fight
And you feel just like
An old soldier tonight...
Listen old soldier
'cause time doesn't wait
The moon's on your shoulder
And the hour is late
And something there inside
Still calls out to you
And you won't fade away
Whatever you do
You're forever beginning
Barely winning the fight
You feel just like
An old soldier tonight...
You're not getting no younger
That much is true now
But you still got that hunger
Burning in you now
So what do you do now?
(what do you do now?)
Listen old soldier
To the sound in your ears
Of too many battles
Of too many years
But there's only one thing
You've learned in defeat:
That losing is bitter
And victory is sweet
Yeah you're always unravelling
Travelling light
And you feel just like
An old soldier tonight
You feel just like
An old soldier tonight
(that's right)
Just an old soldier...

10. _ Bits And Pieces
Sleepless nights and senseless fights
Many that i've known
Are proportional to the desperate hours
Spent on the telephone
Now i'm sitting here trying to get through to god
Screaming in a microphone
Singing, watch out for me cause it's plain to see
I can't make it on my own
When all i got are them
[chorus]
Bits and pieces
Of my sorrow and regret
A memorial for lovers
And a covenance they respect
And though here on this young man's face
A tear trace you detect
Well it's only for the bits and pieces
That i can recollect
[bridge]
I had to let you know
So you'll try to understand
It wasn't a scheme it was a foolish dream
That didn't work out like i planned
Just didn't work out like i planned
Hey tell me that you understand, yeah
So give me back my music
And those off-stage whispered cues
Cause i got me a ten song repitoire
Hey it includes a sad song too
So when you see me serenading the darkness
You'll know exactly who i'm singing to
And those tears are only for the years
I may just spend with you
But all i'm left with is
Bits and pieces...

11. _ One Thing Of Beauty
Gimme just one thing of beauty
To last me for all of my years
Gimme just one thing of beauty
And wash away all of my tears
I won't need to get no religion
When i throw all my burdens away
So gimme just one thing of beauty
And i'll stand at this alter and pray
Gimme one thing of beauty
I need one thing of beauty
Baby one thing of beauty
It's hard times down on the corner
Yeah, there's loneliness out on the street
I mean, everywhere you go there's someone you know
Who suffered some kind of defeat
But there's dreams being dreamed down in the doorway
Of all these places nobody goes
Yeah the ones that just so many [are] praising
They're the ones now that nobody knows
They just need one thing of beauty
Maybe one thing of beauty
They need one thing of beauty
(that's right...that's all they need)
You can keep every diamond and ruby
You can forget all those pharaohs and kings
Gimme just one thing of beauty
Take away all these material things
Gimme one thing of beauty
Since it all turns to ashes and dust
Gimme one thing of beauty
Yeah, the rest of you can do what you must
But i need.... (chorus)
There's hard times...
There's loneliness down on the street
But all we need is just one thing....
When you go way down
You're looking for one thing....

12. _ Blow On Chilly Wind
A little gray around the crown
A little hint of slowing down
She puts on some old evening gown
And dances alone
Years are hazy and days are slow
The seasons come and the reasons go
And while the wind and memory blows
She turns to stone
Sayin'
Blow on, blow on chilly wind
Go ahead and blow
Blow on chilly wind
Just let the chilly wind blow
Yeah let the chilly wind blow
Down the halls that whisper names
Through the walls and the picture frames
It's not just old in here
It's swirling underneath the door
And all around the cabinet drawers
It's getting pretty cold in here
But i say
Blow on, blow on chilly wind
Go ahead and blow
Blow on chilly wind
Just let the chilly wind blow
Let the chilly wind blow
And the chilly wind will blow
I took a walk down by shaker square
A christmas tree was standing there
That same old chill was in the air
And i buttoned up my overcoat
I thought of things that change and things that don't
How they say some folks will and some folks won't
But i say
Blow on, blow on chilly wind
Go ahead and blow
Blow on chilly wind
Just let the chilly wind blow
Let the chilly wind blow
And the chilly wind will blow
Said you must blow on, mama
Blow on chilly wind
You must blow on
