1.I Can See Clearly

Lyrics:Baker/Mcilwaine
Music:Baker/Mcilwaine

Daybreak comes alive when I'm with you boy
Too late
Can't survive without you in my world
Falling down like rain I hear the thunder
I've thrown it all away to keep from going under
I gotta go back back from the place that has no shame
I gotta go back to go where the past don't show
I'll take the blame
I can see clearly now
I can go all the way
I can see clearly now that you're near me
All left gone away
Open up your eyes
You've seen yesterday
Now time to run and hide
I've got to go back back from the place that has no shame I've
got to go back to go where the past don't show I'll take the
blame I can see clearly now
I can go all the way
I can see clearly now that you're near me


2.Stability

Lyrics:Harry/Stein/Golde/Willis
Music:Harry/Stein/Golde/Willis

Hey I don't feel so good lately
I wake up with the thought of you penetrating my head
Instead I wanna fill my bed
With thoughts of us joined at the heart like we were at the
start
You left me talking to myself underneath the weather
No good-bye kiss or long love letter
Don't orchestrate my life just be-bop
Must I take pills for stability?
With you I can hardly speak
Must I confess to the stress that I feel?
You take me right to the edge
You take me right to the edge
I need some more of your time
I'm not trying to be funny!
If you think I'm a joke you got another thing coming
When your orders came by phone today I'm not alone
I heard you but what did you say?
So now you're talking to yourself
Do ya like it?
Well do you like it any better?
Don't orchestrate my life just be-bop
If you are so sophisticated why am I still denigrated
When I should be venerated?
I'm sick and tired of repudiation where upon your orchestration
Leads to endless complication and causes me great consternation
Must I take pills for stability?
With you I can hardly speak
Must I confess to the stress that I feel?
You take me right to the edge
You take me right to the edge
La la la You love to dance but you maintain you're not romantic
Bla bla bla
You love to talk but I'm still out here stranded
La la la
You love to sing but don't you know a different key?
Ha ha ha
If I'm your last laugh are you sure the joke's on me?
You don't have to hubby love me
Don't try to chubby shove me
You don't have to tell me I'm your ultimate honey
Medicinal value na na natural cure don't analyze the 98% pure
Value for value with no medicinal taste
He should had a license for that thing below his waist
Don't ya know the leash laws
Sittin' on a seesaw hanging out with bull dogs and assorted pit
frogs
Put him down if ya don't know where he's been
Pick him up if he's looking too thin
Don't inhale or derail or curtail my train of thoughts
overwrought can't be bought
You got me talkin' to myself sweating in my sweater underneath
the weather
No good-bye kiss or long love letter
Don't orchestrate my life just be-bop


3.Strike Me Pink

Lyrics:Harry/Dudley/Bernstein
Music:Harry/Dudley/Bernstein

Everytime I meet you at the feet of Eros
We'll be in our street clothes and pretend we've never met
And I will tell you My name is Angel
When you call me Angel I'll freeze like a statuette
And they will point and say I look very real
Yes they will
I guess we all take turns on the water wheel
Baby last night you made me think now strike me pink
Maybe you'll bring me a lucky streak
Well strike me pink
So what if our love is tragic part of a missing link?
Baby your touch is magic
You strike me pink
I know that I'm in for a rude awakening
Only you can make me come from behind the door
Is it me or the earth that's shaking
Only you can make me still come back for more
And they will point and say I look very real yes they will
I guess we all take turns on the water wheel
And they will point and say I look very real yes they will
I guess we all have turns on the wonder wheel
Baby last night you made me think now strike me pink
Maybe you'll bring me a lucky streak
Well strike me pink
So what if our love is tragic part of a missing link?
Baby your touch is magic
You strike me pink


4.Rain

Lyrics:Foxx
Music:Foxx

All I get is rain
Thunder clouds up above my head
Storm warning's been posted
Heavy weather predicted today
There's a storm on outside
I've been thinking about the day
It was in late September
I thought that you would have changed my life But it's only
rainy rainy December
I get caught in the I get caught in the rain
Rain rain go away come again some other day
Baby baby unchain my heart!
Unchain my soul
Let the sunshine back into my life
Bring it on let it go
Make the wind blow the clouds away hey
All I want is inspiration
Let the voices within me speak
But for now it's only rainy rainy December
I've had enough of this rain crying for my pain
Let in some light again
Make the day night again
It's raining in my heart
The sky is always dark
The calm before the storm
There was no time to warn
Got to keep brewing on
The water's coming into my heart before there was time to warn
you
I can't give up my reason
I love the change in season


5.Communion

Lyrics:Harry/Pratt
Music:Harry/Pratt

I've touched some objects of faith
More precious than pieces of eight
Seen sacred places and ritual ways But for communion let's go to
my place
I learned to pray on my knees
Been taken in hand if you please
Had my own revelations ideas about fate
But for communion let's go to my place
So as the body so as the blood
Sacred as the soul is to love
Don't be mistaken if you don't understand
Divinely simple
Part of the plan
Take
Eat
This is my body
I give it to you
Take
Drink
This is my blood
Do it in remembrance of me so you won't forget me
Now I've been a witness of grace
I stare sacred days in the face
The long long parade of ritual ways
But for communion let's go to my place
Sacred stories are told
They're passed on like pieces of gold
So make your conclusions consider your fate
But for communion let's go to my place
So as the body so as the blood
Sacred as the soul is to love
Don't be mistaken if you don't understand
Divinely simple
Part of the plan
Take
Eat
This is my body
I give it to you
Take
Drink
This is my blood
Do it in remembrance of me so you won't forget me
Are you ready?
Are you ready for communion?


6.Lip Service

Lyrics:Harry/Toni C
Music:Harry/Toni C

I can tell you've got it bottled up inside
I can tell 'cause it shows in your eyes
You keep on keeping your secrets inside
And I I will tell you tell you no lies
That's my lip service lip service
That's my lip service lip service
I can tell you heard a lot of this before
I can tell you've had your fill
You you keep yours
And I'll keep mine and when we tell stories we'll wait for
bedtime
But the raven still beguiling all my fancy inter-smiling
Straight I wheeled a cushioned seat in front of bird and bust
and door
Then upon the velvet sinking I betook myself to linking
Fancy unto fancy thinking what this ominous bird of yore
Said the Raven Nevermore
Your lips are sealed
But your eyes reveal the reason you tell me the reason you
squeal
For my lip service lip service
That's my lip service lip service


7.Mood Ring

Lyrics:Harry/Stein
Music:Harry/Stein

Where does it start?
Where does it end?
Where's the division in ocean and sand?
Days are quiet nights are long
Everything is August everything is calm
We're lying here in the heat in suspended animation with a
slow-mo beat
Taken together taken apart I feel your excitement
Take it to heart
Changes of season changes of reason Changes in a mood ring come
straight from the heart
Where does it stand
Where does it bend
Where does my love light begin and yours end
Days are quiet nights are long
Everything is August everything is calm
We're lying here in the groove in the heat equation
We don't wanna move
Light as a feather
Light in the dark
I need to feel the beat of your heart
Changes of season changes of reason
Changes in a mood ring come straight from the heart


8.Keep On Going

Lyrics:Astley
Music:Astley

There'll come a time you need a friend When disappointment
follows you around
and although we scheme in the shallow end
Both mice and men continue to be drowned
So if you're out and get caught in the rain
Just give a smile cast your line out again
When you are down keep on going
Determination will change your luck
Don't look around no keep on going
If you believe that you've had enough then you must keep on
going
Don't ever give up
And although it's been said before There is always someone worse
off than you
With the milk of human kindness on the floor Your tears will
only turn it a shade of blue

So if you're out and get caught in the rain
Just give a smile cast your line out again
When you are down keep on going
Determination will change your luck
Don't look around no keep on going
If you believe that you've had enough then you must keep on
going
Don't ever give up


9.Dancing Down The Moon

Lyrics:Harry/Stein
Music:Harry/Stein

Night comes a calling calling on you
Slips in behind ya long overdue
You'll be dancing down the moon
Sunlight's blinding shuts my eyes
Sunset sliding my time to rise and be dancing down the moon
You whisper to me
Don't fear the dark
Come closer darling you'll feel the spark
I'll hold you tighter tight as I can
Moving together hard as we can
Sunlight don't burn me
Sunlight be cool
Moonlight's kind to me
I'm in night school and I'm dancing down the moon
Should I watch the night be dreamless
Stay away from light be seen less
Am I sleeping
Stay awake all night
Night comes a crawling curling round you
Slips in behind ya long overdue
You'll be dancing down the moon
I love the moonight
I love the night
Oh baby hold me tight now
I want you near me when it's five o'clock in the morning
It's hangin' overhead
We should be home sleeping or in bed doing it
(Wish) I had a chart I'd know what's up ahead
But we're still out here holding tight holding tight instead
Yeah yeah we're dancing dancing down the moon


10.Standing In My Way

Lyrics:Harry/Foxx
Music:Harry/Foxx

There's a banging in my head
Every day I'm seeing red
Feel I can do nothing at all til I break the chains
Tear down the wall
Too many people tell me what to do what to think and say
Now it's time for me to do what I want
You better get out of my way
I'm moving out getting out of here
I can't waste anymore time
Pack my bags tie my shoes before I lose my mind
You're standing standing in my way
Well don't say I didn't tell you
No one hold me back
I'm gonna do some climbing
I'm pulling in the slack
Lots of things to see and do and none of them include you
I wrote your name on the bathroom wall
You won't be lonely everybody's gonna call
You better move
Too many people tell me what to do what to think and say
Now it's time for me to do what I want
You better get out of my way
I'm moving out getting out of here
I can't waste anymore time
Cause I know it's all out there and some of it is mine
Yeah that's right
Step aside
Yeah move over
Go on get out


11.The Fugitive

Lyrics:Harry/Stein
Music:Harry/Stein

Give it up baby
Don't be so mean
Give it up baby
Why don't you come clean?
What harm can come from a stolen kiss
How could ya leave me at a time like this
Convicted by forbidden bliss You hit the road like a fugitive
Give it up baby
Give it to me
I said give it up baby
Come clean
Were we just getting too intimate?
Like falling into a bottomless pit?
Committed crimes are pa-passionate And just when it gets so
primitive You hit the road like a fugitive
Work me now
Work me now
Show me how
Work me now
Running scared's no way to live
Hesitant and tentative
Something else has got to give
It can be so primitive
All in one night we'll scheme our way to the heavens
You're captive in my grip
You're watching time crawl by
Attending to my needs
Emotion boiling over I count the explosions
Then you hit the road like a fugitive!
Work me now!
Oh baby show me how!
Work me now!
Work me now!
Staring for a moment as I sneak attack
You run away
I watch your back
You got to make your getaway
You better get it good
You're just a primitive fugitive
I said work me now!
I said surrender surrender give it to me
Mmm baby give it up don't be so mean
Ah baby baby can't ya why don't you come clean
Come on and show me how!
Baby work me now!


12.Dog Star Girl

Lyrics:Stein/Gibson
Music:Stein/Gibson

Maybe it's just a twist of light tonight But the city's so
bright this whole town's in focus
He'd always call me Baby Strange
He's hold my head and pray for rain
Oh Johnny let me be your dog star girl
Let me curl inside
The fire's just right
The fire's just right in focus
But then he said
Like anything goes baby
But I don't know
I just don't know
Do you?
And how'd I ever get to this dead man's town where the rain
Where the rain falls down where the rain falls down forever?
And then he said
So much for you so much for me but I don't see no I don't see
Do you?
And how'd I ever get to this dead man's town where the rain
Where the rain falls down where the rain falls down forever?
Forever
Forever


13.My Last Date With You

Lyrics:Bryant/Davis/Cramer
Music:Bryant/Davis/Cramer

One hour and I'll be leaving you, I know you're gonna make me
blue
My heart is trembling though and through
'Cause I know very well I can tell I can tell
this will be my last date with you
Just can't believe that this could end, I know I'll never love
again
You'll ask me to be just a friend
It's as plain as can be
I can see I can see this will be, my last date with you
And when you say goodbye I know I will cry
'cause I'll know it's my last date with you
I know you met somebody new, you tell me you and I are through
My plans and dreams cannot come true
And when you say goodbye I know I will cry
'Cause I'll know it's my last date with you


14.Teardrops

Lyrics:Calhoun/Golder
Music:Calhoun/Golder

Teardrops, teardrops
I sit in my room looking out at the rain
My tears are like crystals, they cover my window pane
I was thinking of our lost romance And how it should have been
Oh if we only could start over again
I know you'll never forgive me dear, for running out on you
I was wrong to take the chance with somebody new
I sit in my room looking out at the rain
My tears are like crystals, they cover my windowpane
I know you'll never forgive me dear for running out on you
Oh how I Iong to do the things we used to do
I'm lonely and blue but I'll try to get along without you
Oh Teardrops, teardrops
I had to gain faith hope and charity
God only knows the boy who will love me
Oh if we only could start over again
