1.Before My Eyes
(Keith, Skeoch, Hannon, Luccketta)
She comes on softly as she moves across the room before me
I can't resist, I'm hypnotized, I'm surrounded by her
I can't, I can't forget that face, and I will, I will go back to
that place
She stands before my eyes, right before my eyes
I can see the colours are coming one after another for me
I see the words, I hear the sound, going round in my head
But I know there's something out there, please tell me, is this
reality
Right before my eyes, right before my eyes
(Solo)
She comes on softly as she moves across the room before me
I can't resist, I'm hypnotized
I can see the colours are coming one after another for me
I see an image of myself
Before my eyes, right before my eyes
Before my eyes, before my eyes
That was nice, whoo! Typical nice, right Philadelphia？ Right？
Yeah, I mean, you know (can you turn on the air conditioning,
please？)
Can you turn on the air conditioner, please？ It's fuckin' hot!
Turn on the air conditioner, or these people are gonna kill you!
Wait a minute, here. Oh! Oh, hey! (Oh, hey, we got a...)
Oh, Brian, you tried to give this play bass, didn't you, oh,
hell no
Let's go jam a little Ebony and Ivory
Maybe I'm amazed at the way you love me all the time
Maybe I'm afraid of the... well, we don't know that song
But, anyway, right, we got mr. Brian Wheat...
Thank you, that's just what I was... oh, and old Ted Tulsa hat
Well shit, goddamn, hell-puh - alright!
And anyway, we got mr. Brian Wheat on the piano for ya on this

It's a tune of our second album (hit it!)
Hit it
2.Comin' Atcha Live , Truckin'
(Keith, Hannon, Wheat ／ Garcia, Hunter, Lesh, Weir)
Alright!
Hey, are we ready？
Well I'm a mean machine, I'm the kind you don't wanna meet
My middle name is trouble, I'm a danger in the street
My motor's in overdrive, my pedal's to the floor
I never get enough, I'm always comin' back for more
Here I come, better step aside
I said here I come, oh yeah, well I'm a-comin' at you live
I'm comin' atcha live
The only one you want, I never give a warning twice
Well anything could happen like the rollin' of the dice
Here we come, you better step aside
I said here we come, we're comin' at you live
Comin' at you live - we're comin' atcha live
Comin' at you live - comin' atcha live
Comin' at you live - you better step aside
Comin' at you live - ow! ow!
(Solo)
Comin' at you live - we're comin' atcha live
Comin' at you live - comin' atcha live
Comin' at you live - you better step aside
Comin' at you live - comin' atcha live
Comin' at you live - comin' atcha live
Comin' at you live - comin' atcha live
Comin' at you live - step aside, step aside
Comin' at you live - 'cos here we come
Truckin', I'm a-goin' home, whoa whoa, baby, back where I belong
Back home, sit down and patch my bones, and get back truckin' on
What in the hell ever happened to sweet Jane？
She's lost her marbles, you know the chick ain't the same
Livin' on reds, and vitamin C, and cocaine
All the friend can say is 'ain't it a bitch'
Busted down on Bourbon Street, set up like a bowlin' pin
Knocked down, sometimes I'm wearin' thin, they just won't let
you in
Sometimes the light's all shinin' on me, other times I can
barely see
Lately it occurs to me, what a long strange trip is this -
that's right
Alright! You guys liked that one, right？
(Just like at home, that's pretty good...)
Hang on a second, I gotta tune up here, or tune down, actually
Alright! We're just fuckin' round tonight, but we're gonna have
a good time
Ain't we, Philadelphia？ Alright. Let's kick some ass!
3.Down Fo' Boogie
But we wrote this one, way back in the club days matters
When this was where it's at.
You know, fuck all that 15,000, this was it, you know
And we just love it, and this is the kind of shit we was writin'
on the side
'Cos we love to get down fo' boogie
Oh take it away, Frankie, baby!
I wanna ride all around, into the sun
And I won't be back 'til the morning comes
I'm gettin' down fo' boogie, all night long
I said come what come, all gather round, 'cos we're all gonna
put it down
Get down fo' boogie, all night long, ow!
(Solo)
Mr. Skeoch
(Solo)
I wanna ride all around, into the sun
And I won't be back 'til the morning comes
I'm gettin' down fo' boogie, all night long
I'm gettin' down fo' boogie, down fo' boogie
I'm gettin' down fo' boogie, all night long, yes I do
I'm gettin' down fo' boogie, all night long, tell me, how 'bout

I'm gettin' down fo' boogie, all night long
That's all folks!
Philadelphia, thank you very much for puttin' up with us tonight
Thank you
4.Gettin' Better
(Keith, Hannon)
All that rain outside my window, it goes on and on, I know
It's gettin' better every day
Soon the sun will shine outside my window, when it's gonna come
No I really, I couldn't say
No no no no no no, it's gettin' better every day - thank you
Can you hear it？ Oh, it's gettin' better now, every day, yeah
yeah yeah yeah
I'm a hard workin' man, doin' all that I can, tryin' to make
ends meet
Just a-makin' my way through the jungle today, it's gettin' the
best of me
But it's only gettin' better, and a change is gonna come my way
Yes it's only gettin' better, better every day, aha yeah
I've been changin' the scene, if you know what I mean
Good things are comin' my way
And now I'm livin' my life, and I try doin' it right
Sun shinin' every day
Well it's only gettin' better, and a change is gonna come my way
Yes it's only gettin' better, better every day
(Solo)
Now it's only gettin' better, and a change is gonna come my way
Yes it's only so much better, oh, gettin' better every day, yeah
I can feel it, feel it gettin' better, whoa, day and night
I feel it, feel it gettin' better every day
Gettin' better, it's gettin' better, it's gettin' better
5.Heaven's Trail (No Way Out)
Lyricist：Alan Doyle
You know I'm on a slick trip
I'm always ready to kick ass
Up on the stage I'm in a rage
Yes, I'm havin' the time of my life
Yes, indeed. What a sweet, sweet life it is
Until some loco two bit floosie
With a Louie Le-strange
Ain't good for nothin' but trouble
They're just two fools livin' up to their names
And now it's startin' to rain on my parade
(You) know there's nothin' like the real world
To get me down
Nothin' like the world outside
That turns me upside down
Makes me feel like I'm headin' down a one way, dead end street
There's no way out, no way out
Of this living hell
No way out, no way out
Unless you walk heaven's trail
No way out, no way out
Of this living hell, livin' hell
You know I had it made in the shade
Thinkin' that it's not so bad after all
That's when I woke up, smelled the coffee
Now I'm back where I started again, yes
And now it's pourin' rain on my parade
You know there's nothin' like the real world
To get me down. No
One is there to lift you up
One to drag you down
Now, don't you see
That we're headin' down a one-way, dead-end street
There's no way out, no way out
Of this living hell
No way out, no way out
Unless you walk heaven's trail
No way out, no way out
Of this living hell
I guess I'll live in hell
There's no way out, no way out
Of this living hell
No way out, no way out
Unless you walk heaven's trail
No way out, no way out
Of this living hell, livin' hell
You know, I'm on a slick trip
I'm always ready to kick ass
6.Lodi
Lyricist：John Fogerty
Just about a year ago, I set out on the road
Seekin' my fame and fortune, I'm lookin' for a pot of gold
Things got bad and things got worse
I guess you know the tune
Oh Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again
I boarded on the Greyhound, and I'm walkin' there, by the road
I was just passin' through, it must be seven months or more
I ran out of time and money
It looks like the two were friends
Oh Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again
Man from a magazine, who said I was on my way
But somewhere I lost connection, I ran out of songs to play
I planned many times of one-night stands
It looks like my plans fell through
Oh Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again
If I had a million dollars for every song I've sung
Or every time I had to play while people slapped their tongue
I know I'll catch the next train
Back to where I live
Oh Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again
Oh Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again
There we go, get ready
7.Love Song
Lyricist：Chester Burnett
So you think that it's over
Say your love has finally reached the end
Any time you call, night or day
I'll be right there for you, if you need a friend, yeah
It's gonna take a little time
Time is sure to mend your broken heart
But don't you even worry, pretty darlin'
'Cos I know you'll find love again
Yeah, love is all around you
Love is knockin' outside your door
Waitin' for you is this love made just for two
Keep an open heart and you'll find love again, I know
Love is all around you
Yeah, love is knockin' outside your door
Waitin' for you is this love made just for two
Keep an open heart and you'll find love again, I know
It's all around
It's all around
Love will find a way
Darlin', love is gonna find a way
Find its way back to you
Love will find a way
So look around, open your eyes
Love is gonna find a way
Love is gonna, love is gonna find a way
Love will find a way, love is gonna find
A way back to you, yeah, yeah
I know
I know
I know
I know
8.Modern Day Cowboy
Stormy night under dead black skies, Billy pulls into town
Thunder rolls and the lightning bolts come crashin' to the
ground
Cold as ice, hard as stone, as he walks into the room
With another man who was feeling the same way, all hell is
breakin' loose
Chorus：
I said bang bang, shoot 'em all, I said bang bang, blow you away
It's a showdown in the no man's land, for the cowboy of the
modern day
Come sundown, don't be hangin' round, 'cos the cowboy'll blow
you away
Al Capone and Bad Boy Jones, on the wrong side of the law
Johnny and his company, always fast to the draw, yeah
Get so lean, feelin' so mean, I try to take my lucky share
'Cos all I saw was ruin, oh, the smell of blood was in the air
(chorus)
(Solo)
Ole!
So here we are and we've come this far, but it's only getting
worse
hurt
The U.S.A., the U.S.S.R., wearin' six-guns to the side
I see the message, it's written on the wall, to my chain-gun
deep inside
(chorus)
It's a showdown, yeah yeah yeah, ohh
9.Mother's Little Helper
Lyricist：Mick Jagger, Keith Richard
What a drag, it is getting old
'Kids are different today', I hear every mother say
You just need something today to calm her down
And though she's not really ill
There's a little yellow pill
She goes running for the shelter
Of a mother's little helper
And two gets her on her way
Gets her through her busy day
'Things are different today', I hear every mother say
Cooking fresh food for a husband's such a drag
So she buys an instant cake
And she burns her frozen steak
And goes running for the shelter
Of a mother's little helper
And two gets her on her way
Gets her through her busy day
Oh, Doctor, please
Some more of these
Outside the door
She took four more
What a drag, it is getting old
'Men just aren't the same today', I hear every mother say
They just don't appreciate that you get tired
They're so hard to satisfy
You can tranquilize your mind
And go running for the shelter
Of a mother's little helper
And four gets her through the night
Helps to minimize her plight
Oh, Doctor, please
Some more of these
Outside the door
She took four more
What a drag, it is getting old
'You just aren't the same today', I hear every mother say
Your pursuit of happiness is such a bore
If you take some more of those
You will get an overdose
No more running for the shelter
Of a mother's little helper
And four gets her on her way
Hey!
10.Paradise
(Keith, Wheat, Hannon)
Hold me close now, hold me tight, don't let go of me tonight
You're all I want, you're all I need
Hold me close now, hold me tight, and don't let go of me tonight
Sweet paradise, yeah
How I love all of those crazy little things you've said and done
for me
You're the one for me
Darlin', dry your eyes, I can't stand to see you cry
Now just turn and walk away, don't look back when I say goodbye
paradise
Days go by and life goes on, I feel I've been away too long
What I would give to be with you, days go by and life drags on
Feel I've been away too long, for much too long, yeah
And all the while that I'm away, don't let our love fade away
Don't you fade away
Now as sure as the sun is gonna shine, the day will come
Now I'm waitin' for the day, there'll be no more sayin' goodbye
paradise
My sweet paradise, you are the reason why it tears me up inside
And I break down and cry, didn't wanna say goodbye paradise
I'm comin' home to you tonight, comin' home to you tonight
So hold on tight, tonight I'm on my way back home to paradise
I'm so lost without you, I can't live without you
I've been away too long, now, tonight I'm on my way back home to
you
My my paradise, my my paradise
To hold you in my arms, you're all that I adore
To see your smilin' face as I walk through the door
I'll never say goodbye again, no
(Solo)
Hey, we're Pogo! Oh, okay. Here we go
As a matter of fact, this song was wrote about a town that is
not part of
where we're from (Freebird!) No, we're not from Alabama, man
We're from California (Californ-I-A. We like Philadelphia
though, I mean)
Oh yeah, we like ya a whole bunch (yeah, we're ready)
11.Signs
Lyricist：Les Emmerson
And the sign says, 'Long haired freaky people need not apply'
So I put my hair up under my hat and I went in to ask him why？
He said, 'You look like a fine outstanding young man, I think
you'll do'
So I took off my hat, I said 'Imagine that! Huh! Me, working for
you!', oh
Signs, signs, everywhere there's signs
Fuckin' up the scenery, breakin' my mind
'Do this, don't do that', can't you read the sign？
And the sign says, 'Anybody caught trespassing will be shot on
sight'
So I jumped the fence and I yelled at the house
'Hey! What gives you the right？
To put up a fence and keep me out, or to keep mother nature in？
If God was here, he'd tell it to your face, man, you're some
kind of sinner'
Signs, signs, everywhere there's signs
Fuckin' up the scenery, breakin' my mind
'Do this, don't do that', can't you read the sign？
Oh, say now mister, can't you read？
You got to have a shirt and tie to get a seat
You can't watch, no, you can't eat, you ain't supposed to be
here
And the sign says, 'You got to have a membership card to get
inside', uh
And the sign says, 'Everybody welcome, come in, kneel down and
pray'
But then they passed around a plate at the end of it all
And I didn't have a penny to pay
So I got me a pen and a paper and I made up my own fuckin' sign
I said, 'Thank you Lord, for thinking 'bout me I'm alive and
doing fine', oh
Signs, signs, everywhere there's signs
Fuckin' up the scenery, breakin' my mind
'Do this, don't do that', can't you read the sign？
Signs, signs, everywhere there's signs
Fuckin' up the scenery, breakin' my mind
'Do this, don't do that', can't you read the sign？
{Yes! Some old song, called 'Signs Signs'
I wish we did write that one, but we didn't
Wow! Alright}
12.The Way It Is
(Keith, Luccketta, Skeoch, Hannon)
Doesn't matter who gets the best of who, or who can hurt who the
most, no
It never was meant for it to be that way, never should be that
way at all
Chorus：
The way it is, that's the way that it goes, happenin' day after
day, yes
That's the way it is, that's the way that it goes
Workin' in the strangest ways
Even though we could never seem to work things out
I still love you just the same, I do
I miss your smile and that sparkle in your eyes
You're so beautiful, never change!
(chorus)
What it is, and what it was, what shall be shall be, yeah
Sometimes it happens in the strangest ways
Sometimes it's hard to believe (do you believe？)
Do you believe, can you believe？
The way it is, that's the way that it goes
Workin' in the, workin' in the strangest ways
(Solo)
Now it really don't matter who, who gets the best of who
It never did and it never will, no
It never was meant for it to be that way, why must it be that
way at all？
The way it is, that's the way that it goes, happenin' day after
day, yeah yeah
That's the way it is, that's the way that it goes
Workin' in the, workin' in the strangest ways
That's the way it is, that's the way it is
That's the way it is, that's the way it goes, yeah
Yeah, that's the way it is, that's the way it goes
That's the way it is, that's the way it goes
I see it happen day after day, yeah, yeah
Now I'm workin' in the strangest ways
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
(Solo)
Can you believe, do you believe？ Do you believe, can you
believe？
That's the way it is, that's the way it is, yeah yeah yeah
That's the way it is, that's the way it goes, yes it do
Alright!
'Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Tommy Skeoch'
13.Tommy's Down Home
I don't smoke marihuana, I don't take LSD
'Cos I'm a country boy from Nashville, with my boots up to my
knees
I like to sit around and be lazy, I like to drink a lot of beer
'Cos I'm a country boy from Nashville, with my hair cut to my
ears
I'd like to cut the balls of a long-haired hippy, and tie them
up to a tree
'Cos I'm a country boy from Nashville, that's Nashville,
Tennessee
Well I'm a country boy from Nashville, Tennessee, don't fuck
with me
That's right, they made me do it
Well a hail from Oklahoma, and I don't care who you be...
You see, we didn't write that song, in case you didn't know
14.We Can Work It Out
Lyricist：John Lennon, Paul Mc Cartney
(Lennon／McCartney)
Try to see it my way
Do I have to keep on talking till I can't go on
While you see it your way
Run the risk of knowing that our love may soon be gone
We can work it out
We can work it out
Think of what you're saying
You can get it wrong and still you think that it's alright
Think of what I'm saying
We can work it out and get it straight, or say good night
We can work it out
We can work it out
Life is very short, and there's no time
For fussing and fighting, my friend
I have always thought that it's a crime
So I will ask you once again
Try to see it my way
Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong
While you see it your way
There's a chance that we may fall apart before too long
We can work it out
We can work it out
Life is very short, and there's no time
For fussing and fighting, my friend
I have always thought that it's a crime
So I will ask you once again
Try to see it my way
Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong
While you see it your way
There's a chance that we may fall apart before too long
We can work it out
We can work it out
