1.A Horse With No Name
Lyrics：Dewey Bunnell
Music：Dewey Bunnell
On the first part of the journey
I was looking at all the life
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rings
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
And the sky with no clouds
The heat was hot and the ground was dry
But the air was full of sound
I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la ...
After two days in the desert sun
My skin began to turn red
After three days in the desert fun
I was looking at a river bed
And the story it told of a river that flowed
Made me sad to think it was dead
You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la ...
After nine days I let the horse run free
'Cause the desert had turned to sea
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
there was sand and hills and rings
The ocean is a desert with it's life underground
And a perfect disguise above
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
But the humans will give no love
You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la ...
2.I Need You
Lyrics：Gerry Beckley
Music：Gerry Beckley
We used to laugh, we used to cry
We used to bow our heads then, wonder why
And now you're gone, I guess I'll carry on
And make the best of what you've left to me
Left to me, left to me
I need you like the flower needs the rain
You know I need you, guess I'll start it all again
You know I need you like the winter needs the spring
You know I need you, I need you
And every day, I'd laugh the hours away
Just knowing you were thinking of me
And then it came that I was put to blame
For every story told about me
About me, about me
I need you like the flower needs the rain
You know I need you, guess I'll start it all again
You know I need you, I need you
I need you like the winter needs the spring
You know I need you, guess I'll start it all again
You know I need you, I need you
I need you like the flower needs the rain
You know I need you, guess I'll start it all again
You know I need you, I need you
I need you like the winter needs the spring
You know I need you, guess I'll start it all again
You know I need you, I need you ...
3.Sandman
Lyrics：Dewey Bunnell
Music：Dewey Bunnell
Ain't it foggy outside
All the planes have been grounded
Ain't the fire inside？
Let's all go stand around it
Funny, I've been there
And you've been here
And we ain't had no time to drink that beer
'Cause I understand you've been running from the man
That goes by the name of the Sandman
He flies the sky like an eagle in the eye
Of a hurricane that's abandoned
Ain't the years gone by fast
I suppose you have missed them
Oh, I almost forgot to ask
Did you hear of my enlistment？
Funny, I've been there
And you've been here
And we ain't had no time to drink that beer
'Cause I understand you've been running from the man
That goes by the name of the Sandman
He flies the sky like an eagle in the eye
Of a hurricane that's abandoned
I understand you've been running from the man
That goes by the name of the Sandman
He flies the sky like an eagle in the eye
Of a hurricane that's abandoned
I understand you've been running from the man
That goes by the name of the Sandman
He flies the sky like an eagle in the eye
Of a hurricane that's abandoned
I understand you've been running from the man
That goes by the name of the Sandman
He flies the sky like an eagle in the eye
Of a hurricane that's abandoned
4.Ventura Highway
Lyrics：Dewey Bunnell
Music：Dewey Bunnell
Chewing on a piece of grass
Walking down the road
Tell me, how long you gonna stay here, Joe？
Some people say this town don't look good in snow
You don't care, I know
Ventura Highway in the sunshine
Where the days are longer
The nights are stronger than moonshine
You're gonna go I know
'Cause the free wind is blowin' through your hair
And the days surround your daylight there
Seasons crying no despair
Alligator lizards in the air, in the air
Did di di di dit ...
Wishin' on a falling star
Waitin' for the early train
Sorry boy, but I've been hit by purple rain
Aw, come on, Joe, you can always
Change your name
Thanks a lot, son, just the same
Ventura Highway in the sunshine
Where the days are longer
The nights are stronger than moonshine
You're gonna go I know
'Cause the free wind is blowin' through your hair
And the days surround your daylight there
Seasons crying no despair
Alligator lizards in the air, in the air
Did di di di dit ...
5.Baby It's Up to You
Lyrics：Gerry Beckley
Music：Gerry Beckley
Time to make a change
Time to rearrange
Sooner or later
It's somethin' you gotta do
Baby it's up to you
What are you gonna do
Lately it's up to you
Who's gonna help you through
Every now and then
Trying to pretend
I don't wanna see you
Sorry but that ain't true
Baby it's up to you
What are you gonna do
Lately it's up to you
Who's gonna see you through
Every now and then
Trying to pretend
I don't wanna see you
Sorry but that ain't true
Baby it's up to you
What are you gonna do
Lately it's up to you
What are you gonna do
Baby it's up to you (Baby it's up to you)
Baby it's up to you (Baby it's up to you)
Baby it's up to you
Who's gonna help you through
6.Cornwall Blank
Lyrics：Dewey Bunnell
Music：Dewey Bunnell
I've been down to the water
I've been on top of the world
Somebody should come and see me
Somebody should give me the word
'Cause I don't know how many more
I don't know how many more
I don't know how many more to see
Sometimes the free thoughts clash
Sometimes I see through the grass
Sometime the light begins to dim
Somebody should come and be me
Somebody should come and free me
'Cause I don't know how many more (many more)
I don't know how many more (many more)
I don't know how many more to see
Oh darlin', darlin', I always wanna see you
Oh darlin', darlin', I always wanna see you
I cannot learn much more life
I cannot see much more
Somebody should stop the new sight
Somebody should close the door
'Cause I don't know how many more (many more)
I don't know how many more (many more)
I don't know how many more to see
Wrapped in a blanket, lyin' in the snow
Feelin' like the men felt a long time ago
Goin' to find me a home, goin' to build it with my hands
Can't you see there's food to be grown
Got to dig up, dig up the land
7.Today's The Day
Lyrics：Dan Peek
Music：Dan Peek
Hold me close
You turn nighttime into day
And you're the most
Brightest star that lights my way
So come home to me now
'Cause it won't matter anyhow
I've got this feeling that today's the day
I've got this feeling today's the day
Turn me out
Turn me out on this fine day
'Cause all about
All the people like to play
So come home to me now
'Cause it won't matter anyhow
I've got this feeling that today's the day
I've got this feeling today's the day
I've got this feeling that today's the day
I've got this feeling today's the day
Oo, oo ...
Hold me close
You turn nighttime into day
And you're the most
Brightest star that lights my way
So come home to me now
'Cause it won't matter anyhow
I've got this feeling that today's the day
I've got this feeling today's the day
I've got this feeling that today's the day
I've got this feeling today's the day
I've got this feeling today's the day
I've got this feeling today's the day ...
8.Sister Golden Hair
Lyrics：Gerry Beckley
Music：Gerry Beckley
Well I tried to make it Sunday, but I got so damn depressed
That I set my sights on Monday and I got myself undressed
I ain't ready for the altar but I do agree there's times
When a woman sure can be a friend of mine
Well, I keep on thinkin' 'bout you, Sister Golden Hair surprise
And I just can't live without you; can't you see it in my eyes？
I been one poor correspondent, and I been too, too hard to find
But it doesn't mean you ain't been on my mind
Will you meet me in the middle, will you meet me in the air？
Will you love me just a little, just enough to show you care？
Well I tried to fake it, I don't mind sayin', I just can't make
it
Well, I keep on thinkin' 'bout you, Sister Golden Hair surprise
And I just can't live without you; can't you see it in my eyes？
Now I been one poor correspondent, and I been too, too hard to
find
But it doesn't mean you ain't been on my mind
Will you meet me in the middle, will you meet me in the air？
Will you love me just a little, just enough to show you care？
Well I tried to fake it, I don't mind sayin', I just can't make
it
Doo wop doo wop ...
9.Muskrat Love
Lyrics：Willis Alan Ramsey
Music：Willis Alan Ramsey
Muskrat, muskrat candlelight
Doin' the town and doin' it right
In the evenin'
It's pretty pleasin'
Muskrat Susie, Muskrat Sam
Do the jitterbug out in muskrat land
And they shimmy
And Sammy's so skinny
And they whirled and they twirled and they tangoed
Singin' and jingin' the jango
Floatin' like the heavens above
It looks like muskrat love
Nibbling on bacon, chewin' on cheese
Sammy says to Susie 'Honey, would you please be my missus？'
And she say yes
With her kisses
And now he's ticklin' her fancy
Rubbin' her toes
Muzzle to muzzle, now anything goes
As they wriggle, and Sue starts to giggle
And they whirled and they twirled and they tangoed
Singin' and jingin' the jango
Floatin' like the heavens above
It looks like muskrat love
La da da da da ...
10.Tin Man
Lyrics：Dewey Bunnell
Music：Dewey Bunnell
Sometimes late when things are real
And people share the gift of gab between themselves
Some are quick to take the bait
And catch the perfect prize that waits among the shelves
But Oz never did give nothing to the Tin Man
That he didn't, didn't already have
And Cause never was the reason for the evening
Or the tropic of Sir Galahad.
So please believe in me
When I say I'm spinning round, round, round, round
Smoke glass stain bright color
Image going down, down, down, down
Soapsuds green like bubbles
Oh, Oz never did give nothing to the Tin Man
That he didn't, didn't already have
And Cause never was the reason for the evening
Or the tropic of Sir Galahad
So please believe in me
When I say I'm spinning round, round, round, round
Smoke glass stain bright color
Image going down, down, down, down
Soapsuds green like bubbles
No, Oz never did give nothing to the Tin Man
That he didn't, didn't already have
And Cause never was the reason for the evening
Or the tropic of Sir Galahad
So please believe in me
11.Lonely People
Written：Dan Peek／Catherine L.Peek
This is for all the lonely people
Thinking that life has passed them by
Don't give up until you drink from the silver cup
And ride that highway in the sky
This is for all the single people
Thinking that love has left them dry
Don't give up until you drink from the silver cup
You never know until you try
Well, I'm on my way
Yes, I'm back to stay
Well, I'm on my way back home (Hit it)
This is for all the lonely people
Thinking that life has passed them by
Don't give up until you drink from the silver cup
And never take you down or never give you up
You never know until you try
12.Daisy Jane
Lyrics：Gerry Beckley
Music：Gerry Beckley
Flyin' me back to Memphis
Gotta find my Daisy Jane
Well, the summer's gone
And I hope she's feelin' the same
Well, I left her just to roam the city
Thinkin' it would ease the pain
I'm a crazy man
And I'm playin' my crazy game, game
Does she really love me
I think she does
Like the stars above me
I know because
When the sky is bright
Everything's alright
Flyin' me back to Memphis
Honey, keep the oven warm
All the clouds are clearin'
And I think we're over the storm
Well, I've been pickin' it up around me
Daisy, I think I'm sane
And I'm awful glad
And I guess you're really to blame, blame
Do you really love me
I hope you do
Like the stars above me
How I love you
When it's cold at night
Everything's alright
Does she really love me
I think she does
Like the stars above me
I know because
When the sky is bright
Everything's alright
13.Donkey Jaw
Lyrics：Dan Peek
Music：Dan Peek
Ah, get behind me Satan
Quit ravishing the land
Does it take the children
To make you understand？
Ah, all across the nation
People don't understand
Does it take the children
To make a better land？
Then, get behind me Satan
Quit ravishing the land
Does it take the children
To make you understand？
Does it take the children
To make a better land？
14.Don't Cross The River
Lyrics：Dan Peek
Music：Dan Peek
There's a little girl out lyin' on her own
She's got a broken heart
She's not the kind to take you down for long
She knows and plays it smart
(Ah--) And if she's comin' she's showed no mark
She's heard no whistle blowin' from the dark
She feels like leavin' and she don't know why
Without no bridges she's trapped, so I sigh
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
Don't try denyin' livin' on the other side
All your life
You were on your own
If you want you can ride my train
And soon forget the reason that you're leaving
You'll lose yourself and then sometime
Maybe even save yourself some grievin'
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
Don't try denyin' livin' on the other side
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
Don't try denyin' livin' on the other side
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide ...
15.California Revisited
Lyrics：Dan Peek
Music：Dan Peek
Heaven may be an answer
If you're lookin' for Eden in the sky
On your waters I see a strange reflection
Rumor has it I'll see you when I die
Everyone I meet is from California
There's dancin' in the streets in California
In California you watch the shadow dancer
Floating gently, gently on the sea
In California you're such a strange romancer
Come and see me when the world has set you free
Everyone I meet is from California
There's dancin' in the streets in California
Everyone I meet is from California
There's dancin' in the streets in California
16.Here
Lyrics：Gerry Beckley
Music：Gerry Beckley
I am thinkin' 'bout the days
We led ourselves astray
In more than many ways
Here, within the time we've spent
Wonderin' what we meant
By livin' all those years
By livin' all those years
We are here with nothing to do today
It's something we can't explain
And tomorrow, where will we be tomorrow？
What will we see today？
I am thinkin' 'bout the days
We led ourselves astray
In more than many ways
(Here) Here, within the time we've spent
Wonderin' what we meant
By livin' all those years
(Here) By livin' all those years
(Here) By livin' all those years
(Here) By livin' all those years
(Here) By livin' all those years
(Here, here, here ...)
