1.God Of The Sun

Lyrics:Gerry Beckley
Music:Gerry Beckley

God of the sun
Don't make me wait till the morning comes
Light in the sky
Look me in the eye, eye, eye, eye

Don't, keep me waiting around
Too much longer now
Don't, don't keep me waiting around, around, around, around

When I called you from my river of darkness
An echo was all that came back
Saw you wave goodbye
Down the railroad track
Sometimes when you're out and all alone
And you can't find your way back
Wonder if you'll ever make it home

God of the sun
I'll be around till the day's begun
One sight of your ray
Takes the night away, away, away, away

Oh, but when I walk through that door
Take my hat and my coat off waiting for you to call
I tell you not right now, lady, I got work on my mind
And I'll talk to you soon
Always remember

When I called you from my river of darkness
An echo was all that came back
I saw you wave goodbye
Down the railroad track
Sometimes when you're out and all alone
And you can't find your way back
Wonder if we'll ever make it home
No more


2.Slow Down

Lyrics:Dan Peek
Music:Dan Peek

I hear you knockin' but you can't come in
You wear your stockings like you think it's a sin
Don't try to tell me you ain't been where you been
'Cause I know that you've been messin' round with him

So slow down
(Bop shoo wop, you'd better slow down)
Come on down
(Bop shoo wop, you'd better slow down)
Oh down
(Bop shoo wop, you'd better slow down)
Before it gets too late
Before it gets too late

I met you dancin' at the high school gym
You rubbed against me my head started to spin
You turned around gave me a wink and a grin
And then you told me that you'd like to be friends

Don't slow down
(Bop shoo wop, you'd better slow down)
Don't slow down
(Bop shoo wop, you'd better slow down)
Don't slow down
(Bop shoo wop, you'd better slow down)
Don't slow down
Before it gets too late
Before it gets too late
Take it!

(Bop shoo wop, you'd better slow down)
On down
(Bop shoo wop, you'd better slow down)
On down
(Bop shoo wop, you'd better slow down)
Don't try to tell me
(Bop shoo wop, you'd better slow down)
You'll never sell me
(Bop shoo wop, you'd better slow down)
Before it gets too late
I said before it gets too late
You know before it gets too late
Oh, hey


3.Don't Cry Baby

Lyrics:Dan Peek
Music:Dan Peek

Starlight falling through your hair
Sometimes I wonder if you know I'm there
Awake in the morning a smile on your face
The same old feeling that I just can't place

And you say don't cry, baby
You know I'll always be the one who cares
Don't cry, baby
Come closer let me wipe away your tears

A man came in with a violin
He played for me like I've never been
Courted before and forevermore
As the bow touched the strings
He made the whole world sing

Don't cry, baby (Baby, don't you cry)
You know there'll always be someone who cares
Don't cry, baby (Baby, don't you cry)
Come closer let me wipe away your tears

I know I've been wrong
You've had to be strong
I guess I belong to you, my baby (Baby, don't you cry)
You know I'll always be the one who cares
Don't cry baby (Baby, don't you cry)
Come closer let me wipe away your tears

The sound of your voice singing songs in the night
Have taken me far away and mystified
The songs of the lovers brought tears to my eyes
The words that you'd spoken made me realize


4.Now She's Gone

Lyrics:Gerry Beckley
Music:Gerry Beckley

Please believe in me
Though my love is hard to see
Now she's gone (She's gone, she's gone, she's gone)
I'll remain (She's gone, she's gone, she's gone)
But these tears (She's gone, she's gone, she's gone)
I can't contain (She's gone, she's gone)

So can I count on you to be my light to guide me
Right through the night beside me
Is it all right to count on you

Smile away these blues
I don't care if I'm accused
Now she's gone (She's gone, she's gone, she's gone)
I don't mind (She's gone, she's gone, she's gone)
But, I got a feelin' (She's gone, she's gone, she's gone)
It's all designed (She's gone, she's gone)

To make me call on you to be my light to guide me
Right through the night beside me
Is it all right to call on you


5.Political Poachers

Lyrics:Dewey Bunnell
Music:Dewey Bunnell

Someone told me you got to be free
Someone told me to stand in the rear
Keep on searchin' for kings in the street
Keep on cryin' for something that's clear

You are one more posse to pass in the night
One more con to conceal
One more tiger to paint on a stripe
One more player to deal

Political poachers push plump packages
Past pacified places
Concerned citizens cry crude conduct
'Cause Captain Command
Don't do dreams
Do dreary drivel drive
Doctor, daddy divine
Prize shipment tonight, tomorrow tame tempers
To touch tender time

You are one more posse to pass in the night
One more con to conceal
One more tiger to paint on a stripe
One more player to deal

You are one more posse to pass in the night
One more con to conceal
One more tiger to paint on a stripe
One more player to deal

It takes one more moment of time in your life
One more light to reveal
One more place in the sun to turn ripe
One more kingdom to feel

You are one more posse to pass in the night
One more con to conceal
One more tiger to paint on a stripe
One more player to deal

It takes one more moment of time in your life
One more light to reveal
One more place in the sun to turn ripe
One more kingdom to feel


6.Sarah

Lyrics:Gerry Beckley
Music:Gerry Beckley

Sarah, please
Where is the love you said you'd save for me
Am I a fool to think that something's strange
I think you've changed

Golly, Dad
She was the best thing that I ever had
Torn and battered now and due for repair
But she's not there

What does it matter and who really cares
With no one to turn to when she's not there
Ah, but it's all right, I'll get by

Miles apart
Left here standing with a broken heart
Call me names but I'll refuse to cry
Don't ask my why

What does it matter and who really cares
With no one to turn to when she's not there
Ah, but it's all right, I'll get by


7.Sergeant Darkness

Lyrics:Gerry Beckley
Music:Gerry Beckley

Thank the morning for bringing you
Hope you never turn your head and run
And thank the sun for shining, too
Hope the darkness never comes again
What it does to me
Isn't good to see

You say that fortune brought you
Sailin' cross the sea
I don't believe you
I don't see how it's true
I think my dreamin' brought you here
And if I wake tomorrow will you still be near

Once a miser, twice a son
Three's a devil, four's a lot of fun
Fun for living one and all
Start a battle, who's the first to fall
Hope it isn't me
Have to wait and see

You say that fortune brought you
Sailin' cross the sea
I don't believe you
I don't see how it's true
I think my dreamin' brought you here
If I wake tomorrow will you still be near
Should I live with rain and then the sky will clear


8.Are You There

Lyrics:Dewey Bunnell
Music:Dewey Bunnell

The day we lost our voice with little choice, I can't explain
An act of agony
And someone told me too that it's true when you call aloud
It's only destiny
Or is it mystery
But then we came around and sang our song and acted proud
And posed for memory

We made a cry to the underground
Are you there
I looked and saw that they were still around
But do you care

I drank a little bit, so underlit to see it now
The show was never seen
And all the time I lost is never lost
It's only thumbing through eternity

We made a cry to the underground
Are you there
I looked and saw that they were still around
But do you care

Who are you going to see
What are you going to be

You made a cry to the underground
Are you there
I looked and saw that they were still around
But do you care

Are you there (Are you there)
Are you there (Are you there)
Are you there (Are you there)
Are you there (Are you there)
Are you there (Are you there)
Are you there (Are you there) ...


9.These Brown Eyes

Lyrics:Dan Peek
Music:Dan Peek

These brown eyes of mine
They've been doin' some powerful cryin'
Thinkin' 'bout all those years
That always bring back the tears

Winter's come and gone
And I've been left alone
Now I'm here home with you (I'm here home with you)
I do all the things that you do

Then I stop and I look around
I never know if my feet touch the ground
But oh, baby, I know you're right

Seems like a long, long time
Since I've held you in these arms of mine
Thinkin' 'bout all those years (Thinkin' 'bout all those years)
That always bring back the tears

The winter's come and gone
And I've been left all alone
But, oh, baby, I know you're right

And now that you're far away
I think of your love
And I'm praying that you're still mine

These brown eyes of mine
They've been doin' some powerful cryin'
Thinkin' 'bout all those years (Thinkin' 'bout all those years)
That always bring back the tears

Then I stop and I look around
I never know if my feet touch the ground
But oh, baby, I know you're right
Baby, I know you're right
Baby, I know you're right


10.Monster

Lyrics:Gerry Beckley
Music:Gerry Beckley

The monster exposed himself from underground
Burning his face as he ran through the town
Hoping the patrons just don't hear a sound

Heart, court and harmony just ain't the same
My black and their green playing some games
I've got all these pictures I just need the frames

These are the things that you'll never do
Feeding the wife on the phone
And there you are, all on your own

Red and blue, I want to like a hole in the head
It slopes in the middle and is stopping them dead
I'd like to help them; I've already said

These are the things that you'll never do
Running away from your home
And there you are, all on your own
Mm, mm. Mm, mm.


11.Hurricane

Lyrics:Dan Peek
Music:Dan Peek

Sailin' down the coast of Mexico
With a person I loved since long ago
Into a place nobody wants to go

Into a hurricane
Whoa, hurricane
Some'll be taken
Some'll remain

Heard people screamin' and the sky was torn
I looked around and the faces were so forlorn
No relief, only scorn

In a hurricane
In a hurricane
Some'll be taken
Some'll remain

Hurricane's just another name
For the torment in a man's soul
His mind is gone
And he starts to lose control

In a hurricane
Oh, the hurricane
Some'll be taken
Some'll remain

How long will the wind blow?
How long will the wind blow?
Everybody talks; nobody really knows
How long will the wind blow?
How long will the wind blow?
Shoo-ba-ree-ba, shoo-ba-ree-ba
Nobody knows

How long will the wind blow?
How long will the wind blow?
Everybody talks; nobody really knows
How long will the wind blow?
How long will the wind blow?
Shoo-ba-ree-ba, shoo-ba-ree-ba ...


12.Down To The Water

Lyrics:Dewey Bunnell
Music:Dewey Bunnell

The waves come in
Crash on the shoreline
Salty water, don't you know
It's yours, yours and mine
So grab your girl
And don't go wastin' time
And let's go down to the water tonight

White capped clouds
Dance in the sunlight
Purple fishes watch
And show you some of their delight
The weather's fine
And everything's all right
So let's go down to the water tonight
Let's go down to the water tonight

Come on down, come on down
Come on down, down to the water
Come on down, come on down
Come on down, down to the water
Down to the water

Island music
Sways with a palm tree
Friends of mine lay back
And talk of times that weren't so free
So let's have fun
And that means you and me
And let's go down to the water tonight
Let's go down to the water tonight.

Down, down, down to the water
Down, down, down to the water
Down, down, down to the water
Down, down, down to the water
Down, down, down to the water
Down, down, down to the water ...


13.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


14.Half A Man

Lyrics:Dan Peek
Music:Dan Peek

I'm only half a man
When I'm not by your side
I try to make a plan
And I don't try to hide

So come on over closer to me
And everything will be just like it should be

Why don't you help me
Please don't stand on your pride
I feel so empty
Why don't you let me inside

So come on over closer to me
And everything will be just like it should be

You (you, you, you)
Set my soul on fire
You (you, you, you)
Fill me with desire
When ever I'm near you

I'm only half a man
When I'm not by your side
I try to make a plan
And I don't try to hide

So come on over closer to me
And everything will be just like it should be


15.Midnight

Written:Dewey Bunnell/Gerry Beckley

Midnight rolling in, sunlight
Reaching out for your return

As you were running through the tunnel of life
And soon you'll dance around the fire of fright
Tonight

When you're standing on the corner
And the sun is getting hot
Does this day begin to worry you a lot

You are, what you are, too far
Golden star, a ruby light

As you were running through the tunnel of life
And soon you'll dance around the fire of fright
Tonight

When you're standing on the corner
And the sun is getting hot
Does the day begin to worry you a lot


16.Bell Tree

Lyrics:Gerry Beckley
Music:Gerry Beckley

Eyes
Holdin' back the tears
That they've held for years

How can I tell you?
I don't want to make you cry
Why should I even try?
Why should I even try?

Days
Where'd you go so fast
Fin'lly lost at last

How can I tell you?
I don't want to let you down
Why should I even try?
Why should I even try?

How can I tell you?
I don't want to let you down
Why should I even try?
Why should I even try?


17.Old Virginia

Lyrics:Dan Peek/Catherine Peek
Music:Dan Peek/Catherine Peek

Hey, honey, won't you sit down
And stop here for a spell
Singin' the sweet old lullabies
To forget about your health
Don't think about tomorrow
It's a whole night's sleep away
Sure would be pleased to have you stay

And it's reach out old Virginia
Won't you rock him close to you
The poor boy's had a hotel so long
He don't know what to do
It's time to come on home
And put your feet up for a while
So much travlin' 'round tends to take away your smile

'Pears to me it's all a body can do to stay in tune
And you've been strainin' at those strings
From mornin' till noon
So come on down and hang around
It'll put you right real soon
'Cause nothing's changed
It's all the same

Reach out old Virginia
Won't you rock him close to you
The poor boy's had a hotel so long
He don't know what to do
It's time to come on home
And put your feet up for a while
So much travlin' 'round can take away your smile

Reach out old Virginia
Won't you rock him close to you
The poor boy's had a hotel so long
He don't know what to do
It's time to come on home
And put your feet up for a while
So much travlin' 'round can take away your smile


18.People In The Valley

Lyrics:Dewey Bunnell
Music:Dewey Bunnell

Some came down to hang out by the river
Others were waiting to find the night
We stood long just waiting for the picture
Looking at people to see what was right

Soon came the people
From over in the valley
Hundreds of them walking
Towards us in the rain
Then we turned around
And hid out in the alley
Met along the stones
Down Tomorrow Day Lane

Take away the road and no one will remember
How many journeys we hedged in the stone
Friends around will take away the wonder
Sharing a moment of being alone

Soon came the people
From over in the valley
Hundreds of them walking
Towards us in the rain
And we turned around
And hid out in the alley
Met along the stones
Down Tomorrow Day Lane

Ba ba ba ba ba ba ...

Ba da da da da da ba, ba da da da da da ba ba ba ...


19.Company

Lyrics:Dewey Bunnell
Music:Dewey Bunnell

Some can see it's poetry
Come as you are in your broken car
The company

Carousel is wishing well
As a wonder night that spoke delight
To the company

Can you hear the summer calling you
Can you hear him call you now
Can you hear the summer calling you
Can you hear him call you now

Broken dream, just a token scheme
Silver man with a telegram
For the company

Scalding blue, come talk to you
Search the cave for the grave
Of the company

Can you hear the summer calling you
Can you hear him call you now
Can you hear the summer calling you
Can you hear him call you now

Can you hear the summer calling you
Can you hear him call you now
Can you hear the summer calling you
Can you hear him call you now

Can you hear the summer calling you
Can you hear him call you now
Can you hear the summer calling you
Can you hear him call you now


20.Woman Tonight

Lyrics:Dan Peek
Music:Dan Peek

Oh, hold me tight
Won't you be my woman tonight?
Oh, hold me tight
Won't you be my woman tonight?

I get the shivers up and down my spine
The only time I'm happy's when I know she's mine
So hold me, hold me tight

Treat me right
Won't you be my woman tonight?
So treat me right
Won't you be my woman tonight?

First I see you
And then you let me go
The only time I touch you's when you don't wanna know
So hold me, hold me tight, all right.

Hold me tight
Hold me tight
Won't you be my woman tonight
Hold me tight
Won't you be my woman tonight

I get the shivers up and down my spine
The only time I'm happy's when I know she's mine
So, hold me, hold me tight
Hold me tight, woman tonight


21.The Story Of A Teenager

Lyrics:Dan Peek/Gerry Beckley
Music:Dan Peek/Gerry Beckley

Boy, please don't throw away your life
All the joy, please don't end it with a knife
'Cause you know there's hope for you

I was alone like the silence in the night
I had no home no one close to hold me tight
But you know there's hope for you, for you

Everywhere I look I see your face
Every step I take seems out of place
You got to be a man to run the race
I'm not a hopeless man
How can you say I am?

I was alone like the silence in the night
I had no home no one close to hold me tight
But you know there's hope for you, for you

Everywhere I look I see your face
Every step I take seems out of place
You got to be a man to run the race
I'm not a hopeless man
How can you say I am


22.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 ...


23.Tomorrow

Lyrics:Dan Peek
Music:Dan Peek

Time goes on
People burning candles
Will I ever see you tomorrow

When will I ever be home from across the sea
When will I ever be free
When will it ever be, oh Lord, just you and me
When will I ever be free

Life goes on
People turning handles
Making sure I'll be here tomorrow

When will I ever be home from across the sea
When will I ever be free
When will it ever be, oh Lord, just you and me
When will I ever be free

When will I ever be home from across the sea
When will I ever be free
When will it ever be, oh Lord, just you and me
When will I ever be free

When will I ever be home from across the sea
When will I ever be free
When will I ever be home from across the sea
When will I ever be free
When will I ever be home from across the sea
When will I ever be free ...


24.Seasons

Lyrics:Dewey Bunnell
Music:Dewey Bunnell

First came the winter
And then came the morning
Bright coral branches that pass you again
Down from the meadow and onto the seashore
Came the vast checkerboard kingdom of men

Sun radiates gold infrarays
Time to prepare for the fall
Harvest the corn, watch for the storm
Soon we will hear winter call

Ice on the pond, won't stay too long
Too thin to walk it today
Ice on the pond, something went wrong
Frost must be lost on the way

Evening is falling
The tree is a silhouette
As seen by the teddy bear
Watching his den

Spring came so quickly
That I did not see her
Just turn around
And she's coming again

Wind chimes along, rising at dawn
Seasons in circles too match
Each comes along, singing his song
Burying thoughts of the past


25.Lovely Night

Lyrics:Gerry Beckley
Music:Gerry Beckley

It's a lovely night
It's a lovely night
Well, the sky is clear and the stars are bright
It's a lovely night

But I'll go lookin' for the fallin' rain
Keep on movin', keep on playin' that game
Let's go lookin' for the fallin' rain

It's a lovely night (It's a lovely night)
It's a lovely night (It's a lovely night)
Well, the sky is clear and the stars they are bright
It's a lovely night (It's a lovely night)

But I'll go lookin' for the fallin' rain
Keep on movin', keep on playin' that game
Let's go lookin' for the fallin' rain
On this lovely night
This lovely night
On this lovely night

On this lovely night
This lovely night
On this lovely night
Wo ho ho ho ho ho, this lovely night
Wo ho ho ho ho ho, this lovely night
Wo ho ho ho ho ho, this lovely night
Wo ho ho ho ho ho, this lovely night


26.Amber Cascades

Lyrics:Dewey Bunnell
Music:Dewey Bunnell

Amber cascades all over today
Then we walk on a crooked catwalk
Only to be delayed
Bubbles of blue burst into two
Eaten up by the incoming tide
Of the new

Then we call to the man who walks on the water
We talk of a plan to stop all the slaughter in view
It's in view

Granite charades are played in the rain
Till we fall through a sand castle window
To avoid the pain
Summer canoe paddles up to you
'Cause it's time for another beer run
Or something that's equally true

Then we call to the man who walks on the water
We talk of a plan to stop all the slaughter in view

Then we call to the man who walks on the water
We talk of a plan to stop all the slaughter in view
It's in view


27.Don't Let It Get You Down

Lyrics:Dewey Bunnell
Music:Dewey Bunnell

Somebody told me that the time was right
To keep on ridin' and to hang on tight
I heard the cry of a dog in the night
But nobody told me it would be all right

Don't let it get you down
But nobody make a sound
Don't let it get you down

We took a ride down a hill that night
The man was crazy but he wouldn't fight
With bullets in his back and money in a sack
We robbed a bank and we never looked back

Don't let it get you down
But nobody make a sound
Don't let it get you down

We took the bank, kept on runnin', but never too slow
The ride was fun and you know we went to Mexico
But the action that felt all right
Still haunts me in the night

We took the bank, kept on runnin', but never too slow
The ride was fun and you know we went to Mexico
But the action that felt all right
Still haunts me in the night, alright

Don't let it get you down
'Cause nobody made a sound
Don't let it get you down
They'll be lucky if we're ever found

Don't let it get you down (Don't let it get you down)
Don't let it get you down (Don't let it get you down)
Don't let it get you down (Don't let it get you down)
Don't let it get you down (Don't let it get you down) ...


28.Can't You See

Lyrics:Dan Peek
Music:Dan Peek

Alone, sitting here on my own
There's no place I'd rather be
Or so it seems

Home, miles away from home
And there's no place I'd rather be
Can't you see?

You hold your life in your hands
And no one takes from a man
Who gives the best that he can
To make someone understand

I've flown miles away from home
And there's no place I'd rather be
Can't you see?

You hold your life in your hands
And no one takes from a man
Who gives the best that he can
To make someone understand

Home, miles away from home
And there's no place I'd rather be
Can't you see, can't you see, can't you see?
Can't you see, can't you see, can't you see?
Can't you see, can't you see, can't you see?


29.Watership Down

Lyrics:Gerry Beckley
Music:Gerry Beckley

Watership Down, gather around
There's a story to be told
It's for the young and for the old
You might hear them in the distance
If your ear's to the ground

Whisper it loud, carry the sound
Of the footsteps alone
When they're heading for home
Through the raining of the dangers
And the grayness of the dawn

I can feel there's better days
Well, they're comin', they're comin'
I can see them through the haze
So can you

Watership Down, gather around
There's a story to be told
It's for the young and for the old
You might hear them in the distance
If your ear's to the ground

I can feel there's better days
Well, they're comin', they're comin'
I can see them through the haze
So can you

Oo, oo, oo

Watership Down, gather around
There's a story to be told
It's for the young and for the old
You might hear them in the distance
If your ear's to the ground

Whisper it loud, carry the sound
Of the footsteps alone
When they're heading for home
Through the raining of the dangers
And the grayness of the dawn.

I can feel there's better days
Well, they're comin', they're comin'
I can see them through the haze
So can you

Oo, oo, oo, oo ...


30.She's Beside You

Lyrics:Dan Peek
Music:Dan Peek

Do wop, do wop ...

You've got to give, you've got to live
You've got to show everyone that you know
Till you know she's beside you
Till you know she's beside you

You've got to shout all about
You've got to tell everyone that you know
Till you know she's beside you
Till you know she's beside you

'Cause I know just how it feels
To find that love is real, so real

You've got to shout all about
You've got to tell everyone that you know
Till you know she's beside you
Till you know she's beside you

'Cause I know just how it feels
To find that love is real, so real

You've got to give, you've got to live
You've got to show everyone that you know
Till you know she's beside you
Till you know she's beside you
Till you know she's beside you
Till you know she's beside you

Do wop, do wop ...

32.She's A Liar

Lyrics:Gerry Beckley
Music:Gerry Beckley

Caroline is falling in and out of love
Try'n' to get those things that she's been thinkin' of
She can't be what she wants to be
Though she never really tries

She's a liar
She's a liar
But I might try her tonight
And if things go right

Caroline is calling everyone in town
First she calls them friends and then she puts them down
She can't be what she wants to be
Though she never really tries

She's a liar
She's a liar
But I might try her tonight
And if things go right

She can't be what she wants to be
Though she never really tries

She's a liar
She's a liar
But I might try her tonight
And if things go right

Wo, she's a liar (She's a liar)
She's a liar (She's a liar)
She's a liar (She's a liar)
She's a liar (She's a liar)
She's a liar (She's a liar)


33.Letter

Lyrics:Dewey Bunnell
Music:Dewey Bunnell

You have one letter left to send
With no beginning and no end
You saw them in the park
The laughter in the dark, oh no
How can you face him and pretend

So now you thank him carefully, oh no
'Cause that's the way he's going to be, oh no
I hope you find some reason to be free

There is no sunshine in your eyes
You make no sound and yet you cry
It's not the double cross
You feel the love you lost, oh no
This letter has to say goodbye

So now you thank him carefully, oh no
'Cause that's the way he's going to be, oh no
I hope you find some reason to be free

You saw them in the park
The laughter in the dark, oh no
How can you face him and pretend

So now you thank him carefully, oh no
'Cause that's the way he's going to be, oh no
I hope you find some reason to be free


34.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 ...


35.Jet Boy Blue

Lyrics:Dan Peek/Catherine Peek
Music:Dan Peek/Catherine Peek

Jet Boy Blue
You steal and you think that it's right
Like a thief in the night
Ah, oh yeah
I'll tell you it's true
You come around with your stories to tell
I don't hold no int'rest
But I let you go
I know you've fallen under his spell
Don't let him kill you
He'll only fill you with lies
You're a fool and you know it
Done your best not to show it
But it's all over
You're through
Jet Boy Blue
He'll only take you for a ride
Only cost you your pride
Jet Boy Blue

Stop, stop while you're still ahead
You've got a lot to learn
You're still so young
Listen to what your mama said

Try to tell you go to hell
You're just a kid
Don't take no advice, you never think twice
Close the door
Jump in, don't mention what you did

Stop, stop while you're still ahead
You've got a lot to learn
You're still so young
Listen to what your mama said

You're a fool and you know it
Done your best not to show it
But it's all over
You're through
Jet Boy Blue
He'll only take you for a ride
Only cost you your pride
Jet Boy Blue

Stop, stop while you're still ahead
You've got a lot to learn
You're still so young
Listen to what your mama said

Jet Boy Blue
You steal and you think that it's right
Like a thief in the night

Wo, Jet, Jet, Jet, Jet Boy Blue
Jet Boy Blue
Jet Boy Blue
Jet Boy Blue
Jet Boy Blue
Jet Boy Blue
Jet Boy Blue
Jet Boy Blue ...


36.Who Loves You

Lyrics:Gerry Beckley
Music:Gerry Beckley

Love is falling on me
Time will tell how much you mean to me
Can't stop looking in your eyes
Count the stars hiding up in the sky

Look who loves you when you're feelin' down
Just like you're the only one around
Look who loves you when you're feelin' down

Somewhere peace will be found
Past the clouds or somewhere near the ground
Who knows, who really cares?
Take your time as we both climb the stairs

Well, who cares if I live or die
Somebody's always asking why
Who loves you when you're feelin' down

Who's gonna trust you now, boy?
Who's gonna trust you now, boy?
Who's gonna trust you now, boy?
Who's gonna trust you now, boy?

Look who loves you when you're feelin' down
Just like you're the only one around
Look who loves you when you're feelin' down
Just like you're the only one around
Look who loves you when you're feelin' down
Just like you're the only one around
Look who loves you when you're feelin' down
Just like you're the only one around ...

39.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


40.Another Try

Lyrics:Gerry Beckley
Music:Gerry Beckley

Hey, Daddy just lost his pay
What did he do it for
It never made it through our door
He drank the whole week away
And what can a family say
There must be a better way
Now mama don't start to cry
Let's give him another try

Pick up the telephone
Tell him you want him home
To sit and watch the evenings pass
And readin' the Leaves of Grass

I'm caught in a closing door
It's pinning me to the floor
Now mama don't start to cry
Let's give him another try

I'm caught in a closing door
It's pinning me to the floor
Now mama don't start to cry
Let's give him another try

When we're old and gray
And the things we say are the things we really mean
So why cause a scene
When things ain't what they seem
'Cause the end result's the same
Now what can a family say
There must be a better way
Now mama don't start to cry
Let's give him another try


41.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


42.Glad to See You

Lyrics:Dan Peek
Music:Dan Peek

Bells ring in in my ear
Voices I hear
Whispering daily to me
Love in your fire
High on a wire
When I know you're near me

God, I'm glad to see you
I thought you'd left me far away
I wouldn't give much to be you
But I want you to know I feel this way

All over the world
Flags are being unfurled
Waving before the dawning
I'm watching the show
The last one to know
Which way that things are going

God, I'm glad to know you
I thought you'd left me far away
I wouldn't give much to be you
But I want you to know I feel this way

Cars fighting their way
Out of L.A.
On a Sunday morning
I'm watching the show
The last one to know
Which way that things are going

God, I'm glad to see you
I thought you'd left me far away
I wouldn't give much to be you
But I want you to know I feel this way

God, I'm glad to know you


43.Mad Dog

Lyrics:Gerry Beckley
Music:Gerry Beckley

Through the darkness I see you again
Watch my temperature rise
Can't believe my eyes, don't tell me
I've had way too much tonight

Drank the potion stronger than me
Got me all confused
Why you so amused, don't tell me
You've had way too much tonight

Please don't tell me no
God, I miss you so
One thing you should know
God, I love you so, oh

Had way too much tonight
I'm a mad dog at times like these
Don't know where to turn
Ain't the time to learn my lesson
I've had way too much tonight

Ain't the time to learn my lesson
I've had way too much to-
Really too much to-
I've had way too much tonight
Alright

I've had way too much to-
Really too much to-
I've had way too much tonight


44.Hollywood

Lyrics:Dewey Bunnell
Music:Dewey Bunnell

Orange and yellow and purple and green
The lights of the city at night set the scene
Stumble through the bars of forget-me-not lane
Sparkle through the glitter but don't show the pain

In Hollywood
Underneath a golden palm tree
Hollywood
Come to the party the drinks are on me
For free

Heartbeats echo through a cavern of love
Come to the tavern I'll meet you up above
Soaring through the heavens, what a fabulous ride
But everybody's heading for the same place to hide

In Hollywood
Underneath a golden palm tree
Hollywood
Come to the party the drinks are on me
For free
The drink's on me
For free
The drink's on me
For free
The drink's on me
The drink's on me
The drink's on me
The drink's on me


45.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


46.You

Lyrics:Dan Peek
Music:Dan Peek

You
How'd you ever get so cool
Your mother must have kept you out of school
You never learned the golden rule
You think you've got a reputation

You had a smile on your face too soon
Too bad you never learned the tune
Without me, who loves you now

You had a smile on your face too soon
Too bad you never learned the tune
Without me, who loves you now

Go to who loves you now
And tell 'em you're sorry
Don't need eyes to see you
No one else can tell you how

We were so close to you
There was not anything we wouldn't do
For you

Nobody loves you now
Nobody loves you now
Nobody loves you now
Nobody loves you now


47.Old Man Took

Lyrics:Dewey Bunnell
Music:Dewey Bunnell

For the last time
I watched Old Man Took bait his hook
And then throw his line
Pick up his wine

He's a friend of mine
Known him all my life and his wife
'Neath the swayin' pine
And the clingin' vine
Just before he left

He said now young man
Take good care don't let the bugs bite
Please make sure to say a word at night
For all your brothers feeling blue
Blue, blue, blue
All the time

So I stayed awhile
Took my tea alone, called it home
Like a playing child
Running wild

Heard a bluejay call
Said we got you now
Hope you bow
To the old man's word
I'm sure you heard
Just before he left

He said now young man
Take good care don't let the bugs bite
Please make sure to say a word at night
For all your brothers feeling blue
Blue, blue, blue
All the time

Now young man
Take good care don't let the bugs bite
Please make sure to say a word at night
For all your brothers feeling blue
Feeling blue
Feeling blue
Feeling blue
Feeling blue
Feeling blue
Feeling blue
Feeling blue
Feeling blue ...


48.What Does It Matter

Lyrics:Gerry Beckley
Music:Gerry Beckley

(Great hits of the sixties)
Look the lady's got a photograph
Silver framed and velvet backed
Well, she took it quite a while ago
Funny that she never let me know

What does it matter to me
If it doesn't show
I just don't know
It's only just a memory
Just a little history
Oh, oh, oh

And now she's wearing satin shoes
Gilded hair to pay the dues
I guess that I should tip my hat
I wonder if she'd think of looking back

What does it matter to me
If it doesn't show
I just don't know
It's only just a memory
Just a little history
Oh, oh

In the parking lot late at night
Paper straws never worked out right
I knew I wanted to
But didn't know why
So I just said 'Hi'
(Everybody sing along now)


49.In The Country

Lyrics:Dan Peek
Music:Dan Peek

All you brothers and sisters
Lookin' for a better way
Why don't you all go to the country
Hitch a ride from the city
Get away for the day

The summertime is gonna take you
People playing music won't forsake you
But when it's hot
You gotta go all the way

All you dancers and twisters
Lookin' for a place to play
Why don't you all go to the country
People in the city
Get away for the day

I don't know how I'm gonna do it
But someone else will push me to it
But when it's hot
You gotta go all the way

The summertime is gonna take you
People playing music won't forsake you
I don't know how I'm gonna do it
But someone else will push me to it
