Monkees Unreleased Songs Lyrics
1.(I'm Not Your) Steppin' Stone

Lyricist:Tommy Boyce, Bobby Hart

One, two, one, two, three, four

I met you, girl, you didn't have no shoes
Now you're walking 'round like you're front page news
You've been awful, careful 'bout the friends you choose
But, you won't have my name in your book of who's who

Not your steppin' stone
Not your steppin' stone
Not your steppin' stone
Not your steppin' stone
Not your steppin' stone
Not your steppin' stone

You're making your mark in society
Using all the tricks that you used on me
All them high fashion magazines
The clothes you're wearin', girl, are causing public scenes

Not your steppin' stone
Not your steppin' stone

One, two, one, two, three, four

Not your steppin' stone
Not your steppin' stone
Not your steppin' stone
Not your steppin' stone

Not your steppin' stone
Not your steppin' stone
Not your steppin' stone
Oh, not your steppin' stone, no, not me

Oh, babe, I'm not your steppin' stone
No babe, I'm not your steppin' stone
Babe, not your steppin' stone, not me
Not your steppin' stone
No babe, I'm not your


2.Look Out (Here Comes Tomorrow)

Lyricist:Neil Diamond

Look out, here comes tomorrow
That's when I'll have to choose
How I wish I could borrow
Someone else's shoes

Mary, oh what a sweet girl
Lips like strawberry pie
Sandra, the long hair and pig tails
Can't make up my mind

I see all kinds of sorrow
Wish I only loved one
Look out, here comes tomorrow
Oh how I wish tomorrow would never come

Told them both that I loved them
Said it and it was true
But I can't have both of them
Don't know what to do

I see all kinds of sorrow
Wish I only loved one
Look out, here comes tomorrow
Oh how I wish tomorrow would never come

Mary I love you
Sandra I love you

I see all kinds of sorrow
Wish I only loved one
Look out, here comes tomorrow
Oh how I wish tomorrow would never come

I love you, darling, I love you


3.When Love Comes Knockin' (At Your Door)

Lyricist:Carole Bayer Sager, Neil Sedaka

When love comes knocking at your door
Just open up and let him in
It's gonna be a magic carpet ride
So little girl now don't you run and hide

I know that you've been hurt before
But don't you be afraid no more
Throw off the chains that bind
And leave the past behind
When love comes knocking at your door

When love comes knocking at your door
Just open up and let him in
It's gonna be a magic carpet ride
So little girl now don't you run and hide

You'll see a rainbow every day
The sun will shine in every way
Throw off the chains that bind
And leave the past behind no need to worry anymore
When love comes knocking at your door

At your door
At your door
At your door


4.Randy Scouse Git

Lyricist:Micky Dolenz

She's a wonderful lady and she's mine, all mine
And there doesn't seem a way that she won't come and lose my
mind
It's too easy hummin' songs to a girl in yellow dress
It's been a long time since the party and the room is in a mess

The four kings of EMI are sitting stately on the floor
There are birds out on the sidewalk and a valet at the door
He reminds me of a penguin, with few and plastered hair
Talcum powder on the letter, and the birthday boy is there

Why don't you cut your hair?
Why don't you live up there?
Why don't you do what I do
See what I feel when I care?

Now they've darkened all the windows and the seats in Naugahyde
I've been waiting for an hour, I can't find a place to hide
The being known as wonder girl is speaking I believe
It's not easy trying to tell her that I shortly have to leave

Why don't you be like me?
Why don't you stop and see?
Why don't you hate who I hate
Kill who I kill to be free?

Why don't you cut your hair?
Why don't you live up there?
Why don't you do what I do
See what I feel when I care?

Why don't you be like me?
Why don't you stop and see?
Why don't you hate who I hate
Kill who I kill to be free?

Why don't you cut your hair?
Why don't you live up there?
Why don't you do what I do
See what I feel when I care?


5.I Can't Get Her Off Of My Mind

Lyricist:Tommy Boyce, Bobby Hart

I've been standing on the corner all day
Trying to think of little things to say
'Cause she walks by every day about this time
And I don't think I'll ever get her off of my mind

Well, I only met her 'bout a week ago
But the way she smiles lets me know
But she could see that maybe we were two-of-a-kind
And I don't think I'll ever get her off of my mind

Oh, she's so pretty
I couldn't believe she'd ever look my way
But the way I'm feeling
I'm going to be stealing that little girl's heart today

Well, I'm so happy, I could almost fly
And I guess you know the reason why
I'm walking down the street with her little hand in mine
And I don't think I'll ever get her off of my mind

Oh, she's so pretty
I couldn't believe she'd ever look my way
But the way I'm feeling
I'm going to be stealing that little girl's heart today

Well, I'm so happy, I could almost fly
And I guess you know the reason why
I'm walking down the street with her little hand in mine
And I don't think I'll ever get her off of my mind
And I don't think I'll ever get her off of my mind


6.What Am I Doing Hangin' 'Round

Lyricist:Owen Castleman, Michael Murphey

Just a loud mouth Yankee I went down to Mexico
I didn't have much time to spend, about a week or so
There I lightly took advantage of a girl who loved me so
But I found myself a-thinkin' when the time had come to go

What am I doin' hangin' 'round?
I should be on that train and gone
I should be ridin' on that train to San Antone
What am I doin' hangin' 'round?

She took me to the garden just for a little walk
I didn't know much Spanish and there was no time for talk
Then she told me that she loved me not with words but with a
kiss
And like a fool I kept on thinkin' of a train I could not miss

What am I doin' hangin' 'round?
I should be on that train and gone
I should be ridin' on that train to San Antone
What am I doin' hangin' 'round?

Well, it's been a year or so, and I want to go back again
And if I get the money, well, I'll ride the same old train
But I guess your chances come but once and boy I sure missed
mine
And still I can't stop thinkin' when I hear some whistle cryin'

What am I doin' hangin' 'round?
I should be on that train and gone
I should be ridin' on that train to San Antone
What am I doin' hangin' 'round?

What am I doin' hangin' 'round?
I should be on that train and gone
I should be ridin' on that train to San Antone
What am I doin' hangin' 'round?

What am I doin' hangin' 'round?
I should be on that train and gone
I should be ridin' on that train to San Antone
What am I doin' hangin' 'round?


7.(Theme From) The Monkees

Lyricist:Tommy Boyce, Bobby Hart

Here we come
Walkin' down the street
We get the funniest looks from
Every one we meet

Hey, hey, we're the Monkees
And people say we monkey around
But we're too busy singing
To put anybody down

We go wherever we want to
Do what we like to do
We don't have time to get restless
There's always something new

Hey, hey, we're the Monkees
And people say we monkey around
But we're too busy singing
To put anybody down.

We're just tryin' to be friendly
Come and watch us sing and play
We're the young generation
And we've got something to say

Any time
Or anywhere
Just look over your shoulder
Guess who'll be standing there

Hey, hey, we're the Monkees
And people say we monkey around
But we're too busy singing
To put anybody down


Hey, hey, we're the Monkees
And people say we monkey around
But we're too busy singing
To put anybody down

We're just tryin' to be friendly
Come and watch us sing and play
We're the young generation
And we've got something to say

Hey, hey, we're the Monkees
Hey, hey, we're the Monkees


8.I'll Be True To You

Lyricist:Gerry Goffin, Russ Titelman

I'll be true to you, yes I will
I'll be true to you, yes I will
I won't look twice when the other girls go by
(Aaa aaa aaa)
I'll be true to you
(Yes, I'll be true)
Yes, I will

Somehow this time it's all so clear to me
The way to go is easy to see
My heart is sure you're the girl I'm waiting for
(Aaa aaa aaa)
And I'll be true to you
(Yes, I'll be true)
Yes, I will
Yes, I will

I used to be the kind
(Tu turu tu turu)
Who said that ev'ry girl's the same
(Tu turu tu turu)
And the love was just a game for having fun
(Aaa aaa aaa)
(Tu tu turu)
But when I looked at you
(Tu turu tu turu)
I knew that I was wrong
(Tu turu tu turu)
And that I really could belong to only one
(Aaa aaa aaa)
(Tu tu tu)

I'll be true to you, yes I will
Ev'ry dream that you have, I'll fulfill
I never promised this to anyone before
(Aaa aaa aaa)
But I'll be true to you
(Yes, I'll be true)
Yes, I will

I'll be true to you, yes I will
Ev'ry dream that you have, I'll fulfill
I never promised this to anyone before
(Aaa aaa aaa)
But I'll be true to you
(Yes, I'll be true)
Yes, I will

Yes, I will
Yes, I will
(Oooh)


9.Anytime, Anyplace, Anywhere

Lyricist:K. Gobel, S. Weinerhall

Anytime, anyplace, anywhere
I'll never forget what we shared
Comes a day there's a knock on my door
I hope that you'll be standing there

I wonder what you'll say if we meet
On the street one day, years from now
Maybe you'll need time to recall
Oh, but I won't need anytime at all

Now I guess we've come from circle
'Cause we're parting as friends

Anytime, anyplace, anywhere
I'll never forget what we shared
Comes a day there's a knock on my door
I hope that you'll be standing there

Love can make the tears in the rain
And the brightest flame can fade away
When you look into the eyes of a friend
There's a feeling in your heart that will never end

After all the songs I sang you
There's no doubt in my mind

Anytime, anyplace, anywhere
I'll never forget what we shared
Comes a day there's a knock on your door
And maybe I'll be standing there

Another road's ahead of me
The night, it moves on
This heart never lies
These tears in my eyes, say carry on

Anytime, anyplace, anywhere
I'll never forget what we shared
Comes a day there's a knock on my door
I hope that you'll be standing there

Any day, any week, any month, any year
I'll never forget what we shared
Comes a day there's a knock on my door
I hope that you'll be standing there

Any day, any week, any month, any year
I'll never forget what we shared
Comes a day there's a knock on my door
I hope that you'll be standing there


10.Apples, Peaches, Bananas & Pears

Apples, Peaches, Bananas and Pears

I love you, girl, now that's the truth
I need you
Don't be cruel, don't be cruel
Give me just a little help and to show how much I care
I bring you Apples, Peaches, Bananas and Pears

Run to me
Girl don't wait to long
And you'll see
I won't do you wrong
Promise me no matter what
Forever you'll be there
I'll bring you Apples, Peaches, Bananas and Pears

I've said all I can today, girl
That's the way I am
Take it for what it's worth,
Throw the rest into the sun

Give me you
Girl, that's all I ask
Please be true
All I want's a love to last
I'll give it all back to you
And just to prove I'm fair
I bring you Apples, Peaches, Bananas and Pears

Whoa!

I need you
Don't be cruel, don't be cruel
Give me just a little help
And to show how much I care
I bring you Apples, Peaches, Bananas and Pears
Apples, Peaches, Bananas and Pears


11.Can You Dig It

Lyricist:Peter Tork

Something doesn't change
There is only one
Always changing inside
What does it become?

Can you dig it? Do you know?
Would you care to let it show?

Those who know it use it
Those who scorn it die
To sing that you can dig it
Is to make your soul to fly to heaven

Can you dig it? Do you know?
Would you care to let it show?

Can you dig it? Do you know?
Would you care to let it show?

There is only feeling
In this world of life and death
I sing the praise of never change
With every single breath

Can you dig it? Do you know?
Would you care to let it show?

Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey


12.D.W. Washburn

Lyricist:Jerry Leiber, Mike Stoller

D.W. Washburn, I heard a sweet voice say
D.W. Washburn, this is your lucky day
A hot bowl of soup is waitin'
A hot bowl of soup and a shave

D.W. Washburn, we picked you to say
Can't you hear the bugle call?
Can't you hear the bells?
Even you can be reborn, you naughty n'er do well

If you don't get out of that gutter
Before the next big rain
D.W. Washburn, you're gonna
Wash right down the drain

Up, up, come on get up, get up off your street
If you can only make it from your hands to your knees
I know you can make it to your feet

D.W. Washburn, I said to myself
D.W. Washburn, why don't you go
Save somebody else?

Well, I got no job to go to
I don't work and I don't get paid
I got a bottle of wine, I'm feelin' fine
And I believe I got it made

I'd like to thank all you good people
For comin' to my aid
But I'm D.W. Washburn
I do believe I got it made

I do believe I got it made
Don't need nobody
I do believe I got it made
I do believe I got it made

One more time
I do do do do do believe that got it made


13.Do It In The Name Of Love

You could make it all so easy. (Aaah)
Girl you know just how to please me. (Aaah)
Don't you do it if you think you got to. (Aaah)
Don't you do it cause you think you ought to. (Aaah)

Ooh, do it in the name of love.
If you really want me that's reason enough.
Do it in the name of love. (do it in the name)
Do it in the name of love.

Baby, ain't it good to go together? (Aaah)
I swear it feels just like forever. (Aaah)
Hmmm don't be scared and don't you worry, no (Aaah)
It's all right, there's no hurry.(Aaah) Oh no.

Ooh, do it in the name of love.
If you really want me that's reason enough.
Do it in the name of love. (do it in the name)
Do it in the name of love.

Do it in the name of love.
If you really want me that's reason enough.
Do it in the name of love. (do it in the name)
Do it in the name of love.

Do it in the name of love.
If you really want me that's reason enough.
Do it in the name of love. (do it in the name)
Do it in the name of love.


14.Early Morning Blues & Greens

A distant night bird mocks the sun.
I wake as I have always done,
To freshly scented sycamore
And cold bare feet on hardwood floor.

My steaming coffee warms ny face
I'm diappointed in the taste.
But there's a peace the early brings
The morning world of growing things.


I feel the moments hurry on
It was today, it's died away,
And now it is forever gone.

And I will drink my coffee slow
And I will watch my shadow grow
And disappear in firelight
And sleep alone again tonight.


15.Goin' Down

Lyricist:Mickey Dolenz, D Hilderbrand, David Jones, Michael Nesmith,
Peter Tork

Sock it to me

Floatin' down the river
With a saturated liver
And I wish I could forgive her
But I do believe she meant it
When she told me to forget it
And I bet she will regret it
When they find me in the morning wet and drowned
And the word gets 'round

Goin' down
Goin' down

Coming' up for air
It's pretty stuffy under there
I'd like to say I didn't care
But I forgot to leave a note
And it's so hard to stay afloat
I'm soakin' wet without a boat
And I knew I should have taken off my shoes
It's front page news

Goin' down
Goin' down

I wish, I had another drink
It wouldn't be so hard to sink
I should have taken time to think
Besides I got the picture straight
She must have had another date
I didn't need this extra weight
I wish that I could see the way to shore
I don't want no more

Goin' down
I'm goin' down

And now I see the life I led
I slept it all away in bed
I should have learned to swim instead
And now it's really got me stumped
I can't believe why I jumped
I'd like to get my tummy pumped
I can't believe they drink this stuff in town
This dirty brown

Goin' down
Goin' down
I'm goin' down
Goin' down
I'm down
I'm down
Goin' down
Goin' down
Goin' down
Goin' down

I wish, I looked before I leaped
I didn't know it was so deep
Been down so far I don't get wet
Haven't touched the bottom yet
This river scene is gettin' old
I'm hungry, sleepy, wet and cold
She told me to forget it nice
I should have taken her advice

I only want to go on home
I'd gladly leave that girl alone
What a way to spend the night
If I don't drown, I'll die of fright
My pappy taught me how to float
But I can't swim a single note

He threw me in to teach me how
I stayed there floatin' like a mama cow
And now I've floated way down stream
I know this has to be a dream
If I could find my way to shore
I'd never, never do this anymore
I'll give you three, I've been down nine
I'm goin' down just one more time

Goin' down
Goin' down
Goin' down
Goin' down
I'm goin' down
Goin' down
I'm goin' down
Goin' down
I'm goin' down
I'm goin' back home

Back to my friend
Back to the world
Back to tutor
I'm goin' home

Now the sky is gettin' light
An everything will be alright
Think I finally got the knack
Just floatin' here lazy on my back
I never really liked that town
I think I'll ride the river down
Just movin' slow and floatin' free
There's a river swingin' under me

Waving back to the folks on shore
I should have thought of this before
I'm floatin' on down to New Orleans
And pick up on some swingin' scenes
I know I'll know a better day
I'll go down groovin' all the way

Goin' down
I'm goin' goin' down
I'm goin' down
New Orleans
Back home
I'm goin' goin' down
Goin' down
Goin' goin' goin' down
I'm goin' down
Goin' down
Gotcha go back home
I'm goin' down
Down, down, down
Got to go, got to go, got to go


16.Goldilocks Sometime

Smiling a painted smile for awhile
Ragidy Ann and I walk along
Under the painted sky
Funny how time is flying

Alice in Wonderland
Would you minds
If I just hold your hand for awhile
Maybe you'll understand when I say

Hello Cinderella
I believe their playing our song
It certainly has been lovely
But I've got to be getting along

So Goldilocks for a while
Would you mind
Smiling your perfect smile
You and I walking the painted road
Going where time won't follow

Yes Little Red Riding Hood
Isn't it perfectly understood
When I say
Living a storybook is better than
Waiting for tomorrow


17.Il Tema Dei Monkees

Ecco qua
passiamo noi
e la gente ci guarda
ed ammir con voi
Ci chiamano i Monkees,
e siamo meno matti di chi
si crede piu' intelligente
di noi che la pensiamo cosi'.
Dovunque parliamo
non e' giusto mai
c'e' sempre qualcuno che
ne sa piu' di noi.
Ci chiamano i Monkees
e siamo meno matti di chi
si crede piu' intelligente
di noi che la pensiamo cosi'
Ci chiamano i Monkees...


TRANSLATION!

Here we are
we are passing by
and people are looking at us
and they admire us with you.
They call us the Monkees
and we are less crazy than those
who think are more intelligent
than us who think this way.
Everywhere we talk
it's never right
there's always someone
who knows more than us.
They call us the Monkees
and we are less crazy than those
who think are more intelligent
than us who think this way.
Ci chiamano i Monkees....


18.It's Got To Be Love (Alternate Version)

I held you tight and it felt like it
Took a breath made me weak like it
Kissed your lips and I know that it tasted just like it felt
I've never seen all this happen to me
But it feels like love
Makes me weak like love
And it tastes just like it's got to be love
Oh it's in the air I feel it everywhere
I'm so happy 'cause I know it's got to be love
No two ways about it, it's got to be love
I look at you and it looks like it
When you talk, oh it sounds like it
Deep inside, all my thoughts and my heart say it's so
Still I've got to be sure 'cause I've been fooled before
But it looks like love
And it sounds like love
And my heart tells me it's got to be love
Oh it's in the air I feel it everywhere
I'm so happy 'cause I know it's got to be love
No two ways about it, it's got to be love...


19.It's Nice To Be With You

Lyricist:Jerry Goldstein

Hey, look what you have done
Showing me the sun
And now it's shining through
It's nice to be with you

Hey, I like the things you say
And I like the way
You do the things you do
It's nice to be with you

Each time that I give my heart
To someone new
They just turn it blue
But this time is my time
And my time is all the time
I have to be with you

So, please, never go away
Say you're going to stay
And make my dreams come true
It's nice to be with you

Each time that I give my heart
To someone new
They just turn it blue
But this time is my time
And my time is all the time
I have to be with you

So, please, never go away
Say you're going to stay
And make my dreams come true
It's so nice to be with you


20.Kicks

Lyricist:Barry Mann, Cynthia Weil

You thought you found the answer on that magic carpet ride last
night
But, when you wake up in the morning, the world still gets you
uptight
Well, there's nothing that you ain't tried to fill the emptiness
inside
But, when you come back down, you still ain't feeling right

And it seems like kicks just keep getting harder to find
All your kicks ain't bringing you peace of mind
Before you find out it's too late, you'd better get straight
But, not with kicks, you just need help now

You think you're gonna find yourself a little piece of paradise
But, it ain't happened yet, so now you'd better think twice
Don't you see, no matter what you do, you'll never run away from
you
If you keep on running, you'll have to pay the price

Don't it seem like, kicks just keep getting harder to find
All your kicks ain't bringing you peace of mind
Before you find out it's too late, you'd better get straight
But, not with kicks

To help you face the world each day
That road goes nowhere
I'm gonna help you find yourself another way

Kicks just keep getting harder to find
(You don't need kicks, now)
And all your kicks ain't bringing you peace of mind
(You just need help, now)
Before you find out it's too late, you'd better get straight
(You'd better, you'd better, you'd better)

Kicks just keep getting harder to find
(You don't need kicks, now)
And all your kicks ain't bringing you peace of mind
(You just need help, now)
Before you find out it's too late, you'd better get straight
(You'd better, you'd better, you'd better)

Kicks just keep getting harder to find
And all your kicks ain't bringing you peace of mind
Before you find out it's too late, you'd better get straight

Kicks just keep getting harder to find
And all your kicks ain't bringing you


21.Ladies Aid Society

In every little town and village too
Somewhere in the neighborhood
You'll find a little band of ladies who
Can't stop doing good
Good for the pigeons in the park
Good for the weekly tea
Good for the national bank where they keep their treasury

We're the ladies aid society
And we're really a great bunch of girls
We're the ladies aid society
And soon we'll take over the world

Here they come marching down the street
Witgh their picket signs in hand
With their blue and white pleated uniforms
And their all girl five-piece band
Down with long haired singing groups
Down with the mayor too
And if you;re under 65 they're down on you

We're the ladies aid society
And we just want to sell you the truth
Were the ladies aid society
And it's time we clamp down on the youth

We're the ladies aid society
and we're really a great bunch of girls
We're the ladies aid soicety
And soon we'll take over the world

We're the ladies aid society
And we just want to sell you the truth
Were the ladies aid society
And it's time we clamp down on the youth


22.Long Title: Do I Have to Do This All Over Again

Lyricist:Peter Tork

Do I have to do this all over again?
Didn't I do it right the first time?
Do I have to do this all over again?
Oh, how many times do I have to make this climb?
Didn't I? Didn't I?

Can I see my way to know what's really real
They say time can fix things by itself
I know life's more than just some kind of deal
When my soul comes off the shelf
Didn't I? Didn't I?

Do I have to do this all over again?
Didn't I do it right the first time?
Do I have to do this all over again?
Oh, how many times do I have to make this climb?
Didn't I? Didn't I? Didn't I?


23.Love to Love

Lyricist:Neil Diamond

Love's a thing that needs one to thrive on
Then it grows at least that's what I've been told
You can't love someone if you find that
All you get in return a heart that's cold

They say you need love to love
You gotta have love to love
They all say it works that way
But if it's true
Why do I love you?
Why do I love you?

Seems like you keep trying to break me
You do things designed just to make me cry
And I've heard if warm lips don't touch you
Love won't grow no matter how much you try

They say you need love to love
You gotta have love to love
They all say it works that way
But if it's true
Why do I love you?
Why do I love you?

You gotta have love to love
You gotta have love to love
They all say it works that way
But if it's true
Why do I love you?
Why do I love you?
Why do I love you?
...


24.Mommy And Daddy (Alternate Version)

Ask your mommy and daddy, 'What happened to the Indian?'
Ask your mommy and daddy to tell you where you really came from
Then mommy and daddy will probably turn and quickly walk away
Then ask your mommy and daddy who really killed J.F.K
Wa ta tick it ta too too...

Ask your mommy if she really gets off on all her - all her pills
Ask your Daddy, 'Why doesn't that soldier care who he kills?'
After they've put you to sleep and tucked you safely down in
your bed
Whisper Mommy and Daddy,
'Would it matter if the bullet went through my head?
If it was my blood spilling on the kitchen floor
If it was my blood, mommy, would you care a little more?'
Don't be surprised when they turn and start to cry
And tell your Mommy and Daddy, tell your mommy and daddy
Scream it to your mommy and daddy
They're living in a lie, a lie, a lie
It's all a lie, a lie, a lie
A lie, a lie...


25.Penny Music

Lyricist:Michael J Leonard, Stroll, Bobby Weinstein

Throw a penny from the window
Watch an old man play a song
On a twenty dollar violin
He bought before the war

Though he screeches and he scratches
And the notes are always wrong
But he plays like he's in concert
On the street outside my door

Tunes to suit your fancy
Are there any requests?
I'll play them for a penny
(Play them penny music, play them for a penny)
And not a penny less

He's the local virtuoso
It's his only way of life
Plays ninety-seven overtures
And goes home to his wife

In the quiet of the evening
While his frozen fingers bleed
He counts pennies on a blanket
To supply his meager need

Tunes to suit your fancy
Are there any requests?
I'll play them for a penny
(Play them penny music, play them for a penny)
And not a penny less

When there's frost upon the pumpkin
In the weakness of the sun
People stand there in the cold
Until his symphony is done

In the early gray of morning
He's sure to come around
You can hear him through the window
When the pennies hit the ground

Tunes to suit your fancy
Are there any requests?
I'll play them for a penny
(Play them penny music, play them for a penny)
And not a penny less

They're playing penny music
Playing penny music
They're playing penny music
Playing penny music
Playing penny music


26.Porpoise Song (Theme from 'Head')

Lyricist:Gerry Goffin

My, my, the clock in the sky
Is pounding away
And there's so much to say

A face, a voice
An overdub has no choice
An image cannot rejoice

Wanting to be
To hear and to see
Crying to the sky

But the porpoise is laughing
Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

Clicks, clacks, riding the backs
Of giraffes for laughs
S'alright for a while

The ego sings of castles
And kings and things that go
With a life of style

Wanting to feel
To know what is real
Living is a, is a lie

The porpoise is waiting
Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye


27.Randy Scouse Git (Alternate Title)

She's a wonderful lady
And she's mine all mine
And there doesn't seem a way
That she won't come and lose my mind.
It's too easy humming songs
To a girl in yellow dress
It's been a long time since the party
And the room is in a mess.

The four kings of E.M.I.
Are sitting stately on the floor
There are birds out on the sidewalk
And a valet at the door.
He reminds me of a penguin
With few and plastered hair,
There's talcum powder on the letter
And the birthday boy is there.

Why don't you cut your hair?
Why don't you live up there?
Why don't you do what I do,
See what I feel when I care?

Now they've darkened all the windows
And the seats are naugh-a-hyde.
I've been waiting for an hour,
I can't find a place to hide.
The being known as Wonder Girl
Is speaking I believe.
It's not easy tryin' to tell her
That I shortly have to leave.

Why don't you be like me?
Why don't you stop and see?
Why don't you hate who I hate,
Kill who I kill to be free.


Why don't you cut your hair?
Why don't you live up there?
Why don't you do what I do,
See what I feel when I care?
Why don't you be like me?
Why don't you stop and see?
Why don't you hate who I hate,
Kill who I kill to be free.


28.She's Movin' In With Rico

There were tears in her eyes when she gave me the news last
night
I tried to disguise all the hurt that I felt inside
She said she'd always like to be my friend
Ooh, what could I say - this was the end

She's moving in with Rico, everybody's hero
She's moving in with Rico and she don't need me no more

We stood by the door and she put her hand in mine
Could have fell through the floor when we said our last goodbye
I just stood and watched her walk away
The love of my life is leaving today

She's moving in with Rico, everybody's hero
She's moving in with Rico and she don't love me no more

Suddenly, she was gone
How sad it feels to be alone
Now there's a stranger in my shoes
Some you win, and some you lose

Na na-na na na-na na na-na na na na
Na na-na na na-na na na-na na na na
She said she'd always like to be my friend
Ooh, what could I say - is this the end

She's moving in with Rico, everybody's hero
She's moving in with Rico and she don't need me no more

She's moving in with Rico, everybody's hero
She's moving in with Rico, she's moving in with Rico


29.Steam Engine

Lyricist:Douglas Farthing Hatlelid

Mr. Engineer
Slow the engine down some more
You're movin' just a little too fast
I've got my foot down clear to the floor

Steam engine, engine 99
Steam drivers, rollin' right on by

Mr. Engineer
You see I've got a little problem here
My baby, she's aboard your train
She says, never comin' back again

Steam engine, engine 99
Steam drivers, rollin' right on by

She told me good bye
She said, I'm leavin' you behind
I think I'm gonna die
If I hear that whistle whine

Mr. Engineer
Slow the engine down some more
You're movin' movin' just a little too fast
I've got my foot down clear to the floor

Steam engine, engine 99
Steam drivers, rollin' right on by

(Steam engines, steam engines)
Gotta keep on keep on rollin'
(Steam engines)
She's gonna leave me behind
(Steam engines)
I might as well go home
(Steam engines)
She's gonna leave me behind
(Steam engines)


30.Tear The Top Right Off Of My Head

Walkin' down the lonely street,
I need someone to meet.
I run across sweet lookin' you,
Do you know what you do?

Oh, you tear the top right off my head
Blow my mind.
Yeah, I'm goin' blind.

Freakin' out in the afternoon,
Lookin' at a daytime moon.
Talk to me, I'll talk to you,
Do you know what you do?

Yeah, you tear the top right off my head
Blow my mind.
I'm goin' blind.

Sittin' by a firelight,
Coffee cups for two.
Touch my lips with your fingertips,
Do you know what you do?

Yeah, you tear the top right off my head
Blow my mind.
Yeah, I'm goin' blind.


31.That Was Then, This Is Now

You always say you like my style.
You say I'm tough and kind of wild.
Am I too much for you to tame?
I swear this time it's not a game.

I've known a lot of girls.
No, this I won't deny.
I'll give our love,
I'll give it more than a try.

That was then, (that was then) this is now.
Let me prove my love girl, I'll make you proud.
I never made (never made) this kind of vow.
That was then, this is now

I've led a thousand lives it seems.
And there's been a lot of broken dreams.
My mind's just swept love aside.
But you broke me down and put me wise.

I've doubted all compassion,
But you showed me the door.
I can't doubt it,
I don't doubt it no more.

That was then, (that was then) this is now.
Let me prove my love girl, I'll make you proud.
I never made (never made) this kind of vow.
That was then, this is now.

I've known a lot of girls.
No, this I won't deny.
I'll give our love,
I'll give it more than a try.

That was then, (that was then) this is now.
Let me prove my love girl, I'll make you proud.
I never made (never made) this kind of vow.
That was then, this is now.

That was then, this is now.
That was then, this is now.


32.The Good Earth

When I was a child and the road was dark and the way was long
and alone,
My heart would lift as I turned the bend and saw the lights of
home.
Now high above in a silent sky,
In a still and starry space,
A man looks down on the earth below,
And that blue and green and shining glow,
To him is the lights of home.

It's the good earth, yes the good earth.
It's a land of sun and rain and snow,
And mulberry trees and mistletoe,
And burning plains and raging seas,
And Sunday morning taking your ease,
Watching your children grow.

It's the good earth, yes the good earth,
Where we fought and loved and killed and died,
And ruined and ravished the countryside,
But now, from a million miles away,
From another world that's cold and gray,
Someone is able to look and say,
'That's the good earth.'

So isn't it time we stopped the tears?
We've lived together for thousands of years,
And whether I'm wrong, and whether you're right,
Whether you're black, and whether I'm white,
One day we'll stand on the edge of the world,
And someone will ask us the land of our birth,
And we'll look into his eyes and quietly say:
'It's the good earth, yes the good earth.'

Why can't we be good on the good earth?


33.When Love Comes Knockin'

When love comes knockin' at your door
Just open up and let 'im in.
It's gonna be a magic carpet ride;
So little girl now don't you run and hide.

I know that you've been hurt before
But don't you be afraid no more.
Throw off the chains that bind
And leave the past behind;
When love comes knocking at your door.

When love comes knocking at your door
Just open up and let 'im in.
It's gonna be a magic carpet ride;
So little girl now don't you run and hide.
You'll see a rainbow ev'ry day,
The sun will shine in ev'ry way.
Throw off the chains that bind
And leave the past behind;
No need to worry anymore,
When love comes knocking at your door
At your door,
At your door,
At your door.
Ah.


34.You and I (Alternative Version)

After all the spotlights and the flowers
After all the parties and goodbyes
There was something in the air
Something that we realized we would always share

And it was You and I
You and I

After all the music and the madness
After all the late night fantasies
We knew that we would make it through
There was little in our way
Nothing they could do

'Cause it was You and I and promises not broken
You and I and magic memories
After all was said and done they never understood
How we always made it. We knew we always would
'Cause it was You and I
You and I

Now it seems that we are still together
And all the others never made it through
Someday they'll learn our secret way
It isn't such a secret, it isn't hard to do

'Cause it's You and I and promises not broken
You and I and magic memories
After all was said and done they never understood
How we always made it. We knew we always would
'Cause it was You and I
You and I
You and I


35.You're So Good For Me

If you were an apple
I would take a bite
If you were a lemon
I would squeeze you tight

CHORUS:
You're so good I've got to have you
You're so good that nothing else matters
You're so good
You're so good
You're so good for me

If you were a penny
You'd be good as good
If you were a snowball
I would love the cold

CHORUS:
'Cause you're so good I've got to have you
You're so good that nothing else matters
You're so good
You're so good
You're so good
You're so good for me

If you were a candle
I would light your fire
And if you were hot labor
I would never tire

CHORUS:
'Cause you're so good I've got to have you
You're so good that nothing else matters
You're so good
You're so good
You're so good
You're so good for me

You're so good
You're so good
You're so good
You're so good for me

WHEN LOVE COMES KNOCKING AT YOUR DOOR
(Neil Sedaka/Carole Bayer Sager)
MONKEES - 1967


When love comes knocking at your door
just open up and let it in
It's going to be a magic carpet ride
so little girl now don't you run and hide

I know that you've been hurt before
but don't you be afraid no more
throw out the chains that are binding
leave the clouds behind
when love comes knocking at your door

(I know) when love comes knocking at your door
(They told afraid of love in me)
Just open up and let it in (but don't go bye and you see)
It's going to be a magic carpet ride
(that love in middle make you hide)
so little girl now don't you run and hide

(Don't stay me up) You'll see a rainbow every day
(I know that you've been hurt before)
The sun will shine in every day (but don't you be afraid no
more)
Throw out the chains that're binding leave the clouds behind
no need to worry anymore when love comes knocking at your door
At your door, at your door, at your door

41.Until It's Time For You To Go (Demo Vocal)

Lyricist:Buffy Sainte-marie

Oh, I have here a record by Michael Blessing
Thank you very much, thank you very much, Lloyd
Lloyd and Clyde, let's go, huh? Glad to be here, Dick
I'm just so jealous, I could squish grapes, okay

I'm not a dream, I'm not an angel
I'm a man
You're not a queen, you're just a woman
So hold my hand

We'll make a space in the lives
We both had planned
And here we'll stay
Until it's time for you to go

Yes, we're different, worlds apart
We're not the same
We laughed and played at the start
As in a game

You could have stayed outside my heart
But in you came
So here you'll stay
Until it's time for you to go

Don't ask why of me
Don't ask how of me
Don't ask forever of me
Love me now

This love of mine had no beginning
It has no end
I was an oak, now I'm a willow
And I can bend

And though I'll never in my life
See you again
Still, I will stay
Until it's time for you to go


42.You and I (Instant Replay Version)

Lyricist:Bill Chadwick, Davy Jones

You and I have seen what time does, haven't we?
We both had time to grow
You know we've got more growin' to do, me and you
And the rest of them too

You can see the changes we've been going through
Such a pity, what a shame
Who can we blame?
You and me, me and you, and the rest of them too

In a year or maybe two
We'll be gone and some one new will take our place
There'll be another song
Another voice, another pretty face

You and I have seen what time does, haven't we?
We've both had time to grow
You know we've got more growin' to do, me and you
And the rest of them too


43.Theme

Lyricist:Tommy Boyce, Bobby Hart

Here we come
Walking down the street
We get the funniest looks from
Everyone we meet

Hey, hey, we're the Monkees
And people say we monkey around
But we're too busy singing
To put anybody down

We go wherever we want to
Do what we like to do
We don't have time to get restless
There's always something new

Hey, hey, we're the Monkees
And people say we monkey around
But we're too busy singing
To put anybody down

We're just trying to be friendly
Come watch us sing and play
We're the young generation
And we got something to say

Hey, hey, we're the Monkees
You never know where we'll be found
So you'd better get ready
We may be comin' to your town

Hey, hey, we're the Monkees
And people say we monkey around
But we're too busy singing
To put anybody down


44.You Told Me (Album Version)

Lyricist:Michael Nesmith

You told me you'd always stay, you told me
You told me you'd never stray, you told me
All these things you said, you said sincerely
Still I am leaving you in spite of what you told me

I've heard things that did not match what you told me
And of your love that would not last as you told me
Forewarned is forearmed, it hurts, I'm leaving
I may be wrong I can't love what I'm just hearing

Times have made me shy
Of all the things you're saying
Time have made me shy
Of girls and all the games they are playing

Someday I may see the truth of what you told me
I may find I left too soon and that you told me
Only things that you were honestly feeling
I must have more to love than what you told me

Yes, I must have more to love than what you told me
Yes, I must have more to love than what you told me


45.Forget That Girl (Album Version)

Lyricist:Douglas Hatlelid

Forget that girl
She'll only make you sad someday
Forget that girl
She'll never make you happy
Stay away from her, my friend
Stay away from her

Forget that girl
She'll only bring you down again
Forget that girl
She'll only make you lonely
Stay away from her, my friend
Stay away from her

There was a time when she could really love you
When she was thinking only of you
But now she's thrown herself above you
And there's nothing you can do

Forget that girl
Even though you find it's hard
Forget that girl
Even though you love her
She's in love with him, my friend
She's in love with him
Oh yeah, she's in love with him

Forget that girl
Forget that girl
Forget that girl

46.Sunny Girlfriend (Album Version)

Lyricist:Michael Nesmith

She owns and operates her own sunshine factory
Of painting smiles on dolls and then on me
She's my sunny girlfriend and personality

Well, she's got a book that tells about everybody's past
And she can make you slow while making your mind move fast
She's my sunny girlfriend and she is never last

Oh, while I am sleeping
Then she comes creeping into my thoughts at night
Gazing down through eyes as bright as wonder

She can send you on your way to everywhere
She's only started after you think that she is there
Well, she's my sunny girlfriend and she just doesn't care
Yes, she's my sunny girlfriend she doesn't really care


47.Carlisle Wheeling (Alternate Version)

Lyricist:Michael Nesmith

In a long and involved conversation with myself
I saw a precious things come into view
And I poured through the files taken off my mental shelf
And dusted off some memories of you

Then I thought about the times when our affair was green
How the phoenix of our love first flapped its silken wings
All the urgency and passion of each new day as it happened
And how it all mellowed as it grew

I remember the times that our laughter would explode
And how you would turn to hide your smile
Then the hours of silence while the perfumed candle glowed
And both of us meandered on for miles

I remember the time I said I really had to go
I remember the tears that filled your eyes
Then I touched your hand and told you that it really was a lie
And though you never knew it dear, I cried

Well it's amazing how time can so softly change your ways
And make you look at things that can't be seen
And how the years that roll by, can start you listening
Not just to what they say, but what they mean

So forgive me my dear if I seem preoccupied
And if the razor edge of youth filled love is gone
But we're both a little older, our relationship has grown
Not just in how it's shaped, but how it's shown

So forgive me my dear if I seem preoccupied
And if the razor edge of youth filled love is gone
But we're both a little older, our relationship has grown
Not just in how it's shaped, but how it's shown


48.The Girl I Left Behind Me (Early Version)

Lyricist:Carole Jill Bayer, Neil Sedaka

Its old enough to try and tie you down
So, I just couldn't place and hung around
You always said that you must be free
Well you couldn't see you were loosing me
And messing up the one good thing we had

And now I'm going out the same way that I came in
The game is over now, I couldn't win
My heart is all I have to pack
And this time girl, I won't be back
And years from now I'll turn around and see
The girl I left behind me

I told myself that things would be ok
You'd come around to my way any day
As time went on you just stayed the same
No, you couldn't change or be rearranged
I'm picking up the pieces of my life

And now I'm going out the same way that I came in
The game is over now, I couldn't win
My heart is all I have to pack
And this time girl I won't be back
And years from now I'll turn around and see
The girl I left behind me

As time went on you just stayed the same
No you, you couldn't change or be rearranged
I'm picking up the pieces of my life

And now I'm going out the same way that I came in
The game is over now, I couldn't win
My heart is all I have to pack
And this time girl I won't be back
And years from now I'll turn around and see
The girl I left behind me

Behind me
Behind me
Behind me

49.Hard to Believe (LP Version)

Lyricist:Eddie Brick, Kim Capli, David Jones, Charlie Rockett

It's hard to believe
That you could ever doubt me
I try not to hear
The things you say about me

And if you feel like I feel
Please, I'd like to explain
My love for you
Is more than just a game

I hope and I pray
We'll get together someday
Then you'd see right away
How hurt I am when I say

That if you feel what I feel
You won't go away
A broken heart
Can't be the only way

And if you feel what I feel
You won't go away
A broken heart, a broken heart
Can't be the only way

Now you must believe
That when I saw you today
Oh, I just couldn't say
You held his hand the same way

If you don't feel what I feel
I'll go on my way
But as I turn
My heart still wants to say

I love you, I need you
I do love you


50.Propinquity (I've Just Begun to Care)

Lyricist:Michael Nesmith

I've known for a long time, the kind of girl you are
Of a smile that covers teardrops, the way your head yields to
your heart
Of things you've kept inside that most girls couldn't bear
I've known you for a long time but I've just begun to care

I've known of all the heartaches, I've known of all the pain
I've seen you when the sun shines and I've seen you when it
rains
I've seen you make a look of love from just an icy stare
I've known you for a long time but I've just begun to care

I know I've been blind to not have loved you all this time
But the image of you wasn't clear
I guess, I've been standing too near

Oh, it's taken me a while but I have fin'ly found
What you are to me and that's what really counts
And what you are to me is something we can share
I've known you for a long time but I've just begun to care

Oh, it's taken me a while but I have fin'ly found
What you are to me and that's what really counts
And what you are to me is something we can share
I've known you for a long time but I've just begun to care

52.Little Red Rider

Lyricist:Michael Nesmith

Little Red Rider ride on the railroad
And she rides
Little Red Rider ride on the railroad
Wave good-bye
So, so long, Sunshine, ride away
I know you'll come back some day, and line by line

Little Miss Red's asleep on the railroad
There she goes
Oh, little Miss Red's asleep on the railroad
And no one knows
That little Miss Red is little Miss Blue
And she looks a lot like you, around the eyes

Nobody was home in town
Oh, nobody was home in town
Nobody was home in the town I call home
Somebody said they all had drown

Bye-bye, sweet miss, give me one kiss
And then I'll go
Bye-bye, sweet miss, give me one kiss
But don't let it show
Then turn your brown eyes to the wall
Was that message there before you were so wise


53.I Don't Think You Know Me (First Recorded Version)

Lyricist:Gerry Goffin, Carole King

If you think I want the life you choose to live
I don't think, I want the love, you've got to give
If you think my goals could be so trivial and small
I don't think you know me at all

Born between the covers of your fashion books
You think you can make it, girl, on just your looks
You could never bring me up between us stands a wall
I don't think you know me at all

Believing in the promise painted in your smile
I've chased what I was running from, girl, all the while
Known you a hundred times in memories I recall
Still I don't think you know me at all
I don't think you know me at all

56.I Can't Get Her Off My Mind (Previously Unissued Early Version)

Lyricist:Tommy Boyce, Bobby Hart

I've been standing on the corner all day
Trying to think of little things to say
'Cause she walks by every day about this time
And I can't, I can't get her off of my mind

I only met her about a week ago
But the way she smiled let me know
She could see that maybe we were two-of-a-kind
And I can't, I can't get her off of my mind

She's so pretty
I couldn't believe she'd ever look my way
Ah, but the way I'm feeling
I'm gonna be stealing that little girls heart today

I'm so happy, I could almost fly
And I guess you know the reason why
I'm walking down the street with her little hand in mine
And I don't think I'll ever get her off of my mind

She's so pretty
I couldn't believe she'd ever look my way
But the way I'm feeling
I'm gonna be stealing that little girls heart today

I'm so happy, I could almost fly
And I guess you know the reason why
I'm walking down the street with her little hand in mine
And I don't think I'll ever get her off of my mind

And I don't think I'll ever get her off of my mind
And I don't think I'll ever get her off of my mind
And I don't think I'll ever get her off of my mind


57.Look Down

Lyricist:Carole King, Toni Stern

I'm holding my hand out, keeping my head high
Trying to get out of mechanical nights
When I get to the top of the clear, crystal mountain
I'm going to stay up there as long as I can

And look down, dig in the sights all around
Listenin' to all of the sounds and look down
And look down and look in

And my mind sends me reeling, breathing and feeling
I remember the time when I tried to come clean
But my interests collided, besides I was misguided
And who do you confide in when you trip on a dream?

And look down, dig in the sights all around
Listenin' to all of the sounds and look down
And look down and look in

If you want to come with me and tell me what you see
Just step in beside me and do what you want
And you may see clearly, though it sometimes is lonely
To be free is the only possession that counts

I'm holding my hand out, I'm keeping my head high
Trying to get out of mechanical nights
When I get to the top of the clear, crystal mountain
I'm going to stay up there as long as I can

Dig in the sights all around
Listen to all of the sounds and look down
And look down and look down and look down
Look down, look down, look down

Hold on, I'm coming


58.Hollywood

Lyricist:Nesmith

The sun that's falling from the southwestern sky
Tells me that I must depart
So, by sundown today, I'll be on my way
But I'll be leaving my heart

It's not the countryside that appealed to my eyes
It's the spirit and it captured my mind
But the things I tried to be made a wreck out of me
Now a different road, I must find

These things I think are new, I guess they're really old
It seems I've done 'em once before
Now, to go back to that fork in the road
Takes all the strength of my soul and more

Oh, goodbye, goodbye you cruel town
You've been a fair-weathered friend
Now I will go to some places that I know
Where things don't start just to end

These things I think are new, I guess they're really old
It seems that I've done 'em once before
Now, to go back to that fork in the road
Takes all the strength of my soul and more

Oh, goodbye, good goodbye you cruel town
You've been a fair-weathered friend
Now I will go to some place that I know
Where things don't start just to end


59.She'll Be There

Lyricist:Mack David

When your dreams have died around you, she'll be there
When you need a hand to guide you, she'll be there
And when you feel rejected 'cause life is not what you expected
I know that she'll be there

If I hadn't lied and cheated, she'd be here
If she wasn't so mistreated, she'd be here
And if you don't abuse her, I know you'll never, ever lose her
And she will always be there

I was too late to discover
How much I really did love her
But now, her place is with you
And I must face it, it's over with you

She'll be there, she'll be there
And if you don't abuse her, I know you'll never, ever lose her
And she will always be there, she'll be there
She'll be there, she'll be there


60.Zor and Zam (TV Version)

Lyricist:Bill Chadwick, John Chadwick

The king of Zor, he called for war
And the king of Zam, he answered
They fashioned their weapons one upon one
Ton upon ton and they called for war at the rise of the sun

Out went the call, to one and to all
That echoed and rung like the thunder
Trumpets and drums, war upon war, more upon more
Rolling the call of come down to war

Throughout the night, they fashioned their might
With right on the side of the mighty
They puzzled their minds, plan upon plan, man upon man
And they're dying of dawn, the great war began

The met on the battlefield, banner in hand
And they looked out across the vacant land
And they counted the missing, one upon one, none upon none
The war, it was over before it began

Two little kings playing a game
They gave a war and nobody came
Nobody came, nobody comes, nobody comes
Nobody comes, nobody comes, nobody comes
Nobody comes


61.Carlisle Wheeling (First Recorded Version)

Lyricist:Michael Nesmith

In a long and involved conversation with myself
I saw precious things come into view
And I poured through the files taken off my mental shelf
I dusted off some memories of you

Then I thought about the times when all the fair was green
How the phoenix of our love, first flapped it's silver wings
All the urgency and passion of each new day as it happened
And how it all mellowed as it grew

I remember the times that our laughter would explode
And how you would turn to hide your smile
And then the hours of silence while the perfumed candle glowed
And both of us meandered on for miles

I remember the time I said, I really had to go
I remember the tears that filled your eyes
Then I touched your hand and told you that it really was a lie
And though you never knew it dear, I cried

Well it's amazing how time can so softly change your ways
And make you look at things that can't be seen
And how the years that roll by can start you listening
Not just to what they say, but what they mean

So forgive me my dear if I seem preoccupied
And if the razor edge of youth filled love is gone
But we're both a little older, our relationship has grown
Not just in how it's shaped, but how it's shown

So forgive me my dear if I seem preoccupied
And if the razor edge of youth filled love is gone
But we're both a little older and our relationship has grown
Not just in how it's shaped, but how it's shown


62.Tear the Top Right Off My Head

Lyricist:Peter Tork

Walkin' down the lonely street
I need someone to meet
I run across sweet lookin' you
Do you know what you do?

Oh, you tear the top right off my head
Blow my mind
Yeah, I'm goin' blind

Freakin' out in the afternoon
Lookin' at a daytime moon
Talk to me, I'll talk to you
Do you know what you do?

Yeah, you tear the top right off my head
Blow my mind
I'm goin' blind

Sittin' by a firelight
Coffee cups for two
Touch my lips with your fingertips
Do you know what you do?

Yeah, you tear the top right off my head
You blow my mind
Yeah, I'm goin' blind


63.Circle Sky (Live)

Lyricist:Michael Nesmith

Circle sky
Telling lies
Here I stand
At demand

'Cause it looks like we've made it once again
Yes, it looks like we've made it once again

Color sound
Is all around
Wing-tipped smile
Sees for miles

And it looks like we've made it once again
Yes, it looks like we've made it once again

It's a very extraordinary scene
To those who don't understand
But what you have seen you must believe
If you can, if you can

Hamilton
Smiling down
Telling more
Than before

And it looks like we've made it once again
Yes, it looks like we've made it to the end


64.Daily Nightly (Album Version)

Lyricist:Barry Mann, Michael Nesmith, Cynthia Weil

Darkened rolling figures move through prisms of no color
Hand in hand, they walk the night, but never know each other
Passioned pastel neon lights, light up the jeweled traveler
Who, lost in scenes of smoke filled dreams find questions, but
no answers

Startled eyes that sometimes see phantasmagoric splendor
Pirouette down palsied paths, with pennies for the vendor
Salvation's yours for just the time it takes to pay the dancer
And once again such anxious men find questions, but no answers

The night has gone and taken it's infractions
While saddened eyes hope there will be a next one

Sahara signs look down upon a world that glitters glibly
And mountain sides put arms around the unsuspecting city
Second hands that minds have slowed are moving even faster
Toward bringing down someone who's found the questions, but no
answers


65.All the King's Horses (Originally Version)

Lyricist:Michael Nesmith

All the king's horses and all the king's men
They couldn't put my broken heart back together again
I woke up this morning, and this is what I found
You had gone and left me and you never even made a farewell
sound

All the king's horses and all the king's men
They couldn't put my broken heart back together again
I asked your friends about you, and this is what they said
'She can live without you, she's gonna find a man with money
instead'

All the king's horses and all the king's men
They couldn't put my broken heart back together again
Someday, you will know the meaning of a love that's true
But when you find out, I won't be around to share it with you

All the king's horses and all the king's men, hey, yeah yeah
They couldn't put my broken heart back together again, no, no,
no
All the king's horses and all the king's men, hey, yeah yeah
They couldn't put my broken heart back together again


Lyricist:Michael Nesmith

There's a certain something in the way
You looked at me and said you'd stay
That let me know that I was out of line

But I didn't know what else to do
And like a fool I tested you
By demanding things of you which weren't mine

And now I feel like such a fool
For making you crawl back to me
But you did it with such love
That you're standing far above
Me and all I did to you
I'm sorry now, what can I do?

I know that never in the world
Could I have found me such a girl
Who's there to pick me up before I fall

And if in the end we should go
Both our separate ways I know
The lessons I've learned here is worth it all

And now I feel like such a fool
For making you crawl back to me
But you did it with such love
That you're standing far above
Me and all I did to you
I'm sorry now, what can I do?

I know that never in the world
Could I have found me such a girl
Who's there to pick me up before I fall

And if in the end we should go
Both our separate ways
I know the lessons I've learned here is worth it all


Lyricist:Bill Martin

One, two aah yeah, aah yeah
Aah yeah

Once upon a, once in a while
It's hard to remember to smile
Just like all of your toys

Can't you see I don't wanna play
I don't need it
Can't you say you want me to stay
I'd believe it, just like all of your toys

When all of your play things
Someday disappear
Girl, will you be happy
With nothing but tears?
With nothing but tears?

Once upon a, once in a while
It's hard to remember to smile
Just like all of your toys

Don't you ever feel kind of sad?
'Cause you're lonely
Think about the love that we had
Are you lonely? Just like all of your toys

When all of your play things
Someday disappear
Girl, will you be happy
With nothing but tears?
With nothing but tears?

Just like all of your toys, I don't wanna be
(Just like all of your toys)
Just like all of your toys, I don't need to be
(Like all of your toys)
Just like all of your, just like all of your toys
(Like all of your toys)

(Just like all of your toys)
I should have known I'd be alone
(Like all of your toys)
No, no, no I don't need it

(Just like all of your toys)
Oh, don't you have me believe it
(Like all of your toys)
Just like all of your toys

(Just like all of your toys)
I still believe it


68.(I'd Go The) Whole Wide World

Lyricist:Eric Goulden

When I was a young boy
My momma she said to me
There's only one girl in the world for you
And she probably lives in Tahiti

Or maybe in the Bahamas
Where the Caribbean sea is blue
Weepin' away in the tropical night
Because nobody's told her 'bout you

I'd go the whole wide world
I'd go the whole wide world
Just to find her
I'd go the whole wide world
I'd go the whole wide world
To find out where they hide her, yeah

Why am I hanging around in the rain out here?
Tryin' to think of a girl
Why are my eyes fillin' up with these lonely tears
When there's girls all over the world?

Or is she lying on a tropical beach somewhere
Underneath the tropical sun
Hiding away in the heat wave there
Hopin' that I won't be long?

I'd go the whole wide world
I'd go the whole wide world
Just to find her
I'd go the whole wide world
I'd go the whole wide world
To find out where they hide her

I'd go the whole wide world
I'd go the whole wide world
Just to find her
I'd go the whole wide world
I'd go the whole wide world
To find out where they hide her
Yeah

I'd go the whole wide world
I'd go the whole wide world
I'd go the whole wide world
...


69.(I'll) Love You Forever

Lyricist:David Thomas Jones

I love you this year
I'll love you next year
And then forever

I'll always need you
I'll never leave you
I'll love you forever

And if you ever change your mind
Think again and give me time
For you're my first love, you are my last love
You're my forever

I love this feeling
My heart is beating
A mile a minute

No other woman
Has ever been
So deep inside in it

And when the sun shines on our love
That's when I thank the Lord above
You're my first love, you are my last love
You're my beginning

And when the sun shines on our love
That's when I thank the Lord above
You're my first love, you are my last love
You are my everlasting love

You're my first love, you are my last love
You're my forever


70.St. Matthew (Alternate Mix)

Lyricist:Michael Nesmith

She walks around on brass rings that never touch her feet
She speaks in conversations that never are complete
And looking over past things that she has never done
She calls herself St. Matthew when she is on the run

She stoops down to gather partly shattered men
And knows that when it's over it will start again
Both the times she smiled it was a portrait of the sun
She calls herself St. Matthew when she is on the run

Part of it is loneliness and knowing how to steal
But most of it is weariness from standing up, trying not to
kneel

She discovered three new ways that she could help the dead
Sometime she must raise her hand to tell you what she said
Then standing in a landslide she suddenly becomes
A girl that's named St. Matthew when she is on the run

Part of it is loneliness and knowing how to steal
But most of it is weariness from standing up, trying not to
kneel

She discovered three new ways that she could help the dead
Sometime she must raise her hand to tell you what she said
Then standing in a landslide she suddenly becomes
A girl that's named St. Matthew, when she is on the run


71.No Time (Album Version)

Lyricist:Hank Cicalo

Hober reeber sabasoben hobaseeba snick
Seeberraber hobosoben what did you expect?

No time, no time for you
I got no time baby, got lots of better things to do

Runnin' from the risin' heat to find a place to hide
The grass is always greener growin' on the other side

No time, no time for you
I got no time baby, got lots of better things to do

No time, no time for you
I got no time baby, got lots of better things to do

No time, no time for you
I got no time baby, got lots of better things to do

Tryin' to tell the world somehow of how I feel
Tell me what you said again I can't believe it's real

No time, I got no time for you
I got no time baby, got lots of better things to do

Andy you're a dandy you don't seem to make no sense
Never mind the furthermore the plea is self-defense

No time, I got no time for you
I got no time baby, got lots of better things to do

I got no time
I got no time
No time for you
I got no time
I got no time


72.Don't Call On Me (LP Version)

Lyricist:Jack London, Michael Nesmith

Don't call on me, when you're feeling footloose, and fancy-free
You've done that before, and like a fool I came back for more
It's all over now, I've finally seen my way
I need you no more, not now or any other day

Okay, little girl, live for yourself in your own little world
I know that you'll find
Someone who'll play and love you, be just your kind
Be just your kind, be just your kind, be just your kind

74.I Can't Get Her Off My Mind (Early Version)

Lyricist:Tommy Boyce, Bobby Hart

I've been standing on the corner all day
Trying to think of little things to say
'Cause she walks by every day about this time
And I can't, I can't get her off of my mind

I only met her about a week ago
But, the way she smiled, let me know
She could see that maybe we were two of a kind
And I can't, I can't get her off of my mind

She's so pretty
I couldn't believe, she'd ever look my way
Ah, but the way I'm feeling
I'm gonna be stealing that little girl's heart today

I'm so happy, I could almost fly
And I guess you know the reason why
I'm walking down the street with her little hand in mine
And I don't think, I'll ever get her off of my mind

She's so pretty
I couldn't believe, she'd ever look my way
Ah, but the way I'm feeling
I'm gonna be stealing that little girl's heart today

I'm so happy, I could almost fly
And I guess you know the reason why
I'm walking down the street with her little hand in mine
And I don't think, I'll ever get her off of my mind

And I don't think, I'll ever get her off of my mind
And I don't think, I'll ever get her off of my mind
And I don't think, I'll ever get her off of my mind


75.The Monkees

Lyricist:Tommy Boyce, Bobby Hart

Here we come
Walkin' down the street
We get funniest looks from
Every one we meet

Hey, hey, we're the Monkees
And people say we monkey around
But we're too busy singing
To put anybody down

We go wherever we want to
Do what we like to do
We don't have time to get restless
There's always something new

Hey, hey, we're the Monkees
And people say we monkey around
But we're too busy singing
To put anybody down

We're just tryin' to be friendly
Come and watch us sing and play
We're the young generation
And we've got something to say

Any time or anywhere
Just look over your shoulder
Guess who'll be standing there

Hey, hey, we're the Monkees
And people say we monkey around
But we're too busy singing
To put anybody down

Hey, hey, we're the Monkees
And people say we monkey around
But we're too busy singing
To put anybody down

We're just tryin' to be friendly
Come and watch us sing and play
We're the young generation
And we've got something to say

Hey, hey, we're the Monkees
Hey, hey, we're the Monkees


76.Last Train Of Clarksville

Lyricist:Tommy Boyce, Bobby Hart

Take the last train to Clarksville
And I'll meet you at the station
You can be here by four-thirty
'Cause I've made your reservation

Don't be slow
Oh, no, no, no

'Cause I'm leaving in the morning
And I must see you again

I can't hear you in this noisy
Railroad station all alone

I'm feeling low
Oh, no, no, no

77.Shades Of Grey

Lyricist:Barry Mann, Cynthia Weil

When the world and I were young, just yesterday
Live was such a simple game, a child could play
It was easy then to tell right from wrong
Easy then to tell weak from strong
When a man should stand and fight or just go along

But today there is no day or night
Today there is no dark or light
Today there is no black or white
Only shades of gray

I remember when the answers seemed so clear
We had never lived with doubt or tasted fear
It was easy then to tell truth from lies, selling out from
compromise
Who to love and who to hate, the foolish from the wise

But today there is no day or night
Today there is no dark or light
Today there is no black or white
Only shades of gray

It was easy then to know what was fair when to keep and when to
share
How much to protect your heart and how much to care
But today there is no day or night, today there is no dark or
light
Today there is no black or white

Only shades of gray
Only shades of gray


Lyricist:Gerry Goffin, Carole King

Take a letter, keep on going
Where ever it is, she's goin', too
Give her my autograph and tell her
It's been nice knowin' you

She's a star collector
(Collector of stars)
She only seems to please young celebrities
Yes she's a star collector
(Collector of stars)
How can I love her, when I just don't respect her?

When everything is goin' my way
She wants to be close at hand
She moves to some other doorway
When things don't go the way she planned

Yes she's a star collector
(Collector of stars)
She only seems to please young celebrities
Yes she's a star collector
(Collector of stars)
It won't take much time before I get her off my mind

Yes she's a star collector
(Collector of stars)
She only seems to please young celebrities
Yes she's a star collector
(Collector of stars)
It won't take much time before I get her off my mind


Lyricist:Barry Mann, Michael Nesmith, Cynthia Weil

Darkened rolling figures move through
Prisms of no color
Hand in hand, they walk the night
But never know each other

Passioned pastel neon lights
Light up the jeweled trav'ler
Who, lost in scenes of smoke filled dreams
Find questions, but no answers

Startled eyes that sometimes see
Phantasmagoria splendor
Pirouette down palsied paths
With pennies for the vendor

Salvation's yours for just the time
It takes to pay the dancer
And once again such anxious men
Find questions, but no answers

The night has gone
And taken it's infractions
While saddened eyes
Hope there will be a next one

Sahara signs look down upon
A world that glitters glibly
And mountain sides put arms around
The unsuspecting city

Second hands that minds have slowed
Are moving even faster
Toward bringing down someone who's found
The questions, but no answers


Lyricist:Barry Mann, Cynthia Weil

She looked at me
And the emptiness in her eyes
Was cruel to see

Then she turned away and said
'Once I loved, but love is dead'
And I whispered
'Sometimes love is only sleeping'

She said, 'I cannot cry
And I cannot give or feel
Or even try'

And her voice was hard and cold
Then her sweet young face looked old
And I whispered
'Sometimes love is only sleeping'

Through the endless days and nights
She could not help but wrap herself in sorrow, sorrow
Through the endless days and nights
We waited for a shiny new tomorrow, tomorrow

Love was sleeping, sleeping
(Sleeping, sleeping)

She looked at me
And her smiling tears feel warm
And sweet and free

And the moonlight kissed her eyes
As it mingled with our sighs
And she whispered
'Sometimes love is only sleeping'

And she whispered
'Sometimes love is only sleeping'
Only sleeping, only sleeping
Only sleeping, only sleeping
(Sleeping)
Only sleeping


Lyricist:Chip Douglas, Bill Martin

With his fool's gold stacked up all around him
From a killing in the market on the war
The children left King Midas there as they found him
In his counting house where nothing counts but more

And he thought he heard the echoes of a penny whistle band
And the laughter from a distant caravan
And the brightly painted line of circus wagons in the sand
Fading through the door into summer

With his travel logs of 'maybe next year' places
As a trade-in for a name upon the door
And he pays for it with years he cannot buy back with his tears
As he finds out there's been no one keeping score

And he thought he heard the echoes of a penny whistle band
And the laughter from a distant caravan
And the brightly painted line of circus wagons in the sand
Fading through the door into summer

Yes, he thought he heard the echoes of a penny whistle band
And the laughter from a distant caravan
And the brightly painted line of circus wagons in the sand
Fading through the door into summer

Fading through the door into summer
Fading through the door into summer
Fading through the door into summer
...


82.How Insensitive

Lyricist:Vinicius De Moraes, Norman (english) Gimbel, Antonio Carlos
Jobim

How insensitive I must have seemed
When she told me that she loved me
How unmoved and cold I must have seemed
When she told me so sincerely

Why? She must have asked
Did I just turn and stare in icy silence?

What was I to do, what can you do?
When a love affair is over?

So now she's gone away and I'm alone
With the memory of her last look
Vague and drawn and sad, I see it still
All the heartache in that last look

Why? She must have asked
Did I just turn and stare in icy silence?

What was I to say, what can you say?
When a love affair is over?


83.Valleri (First Recorded Version)

Lyricist:Tommy Boyce, Bobby Hart

Valleri, I love her
Valleri

There's a girl I know
Who makes me feel so good
And I wouldn't live without her
Even if I could

I call her Valleri
I love my Valleri

She's the same little girl
Who used to hang around my door
But she sure looks different
Than the way she looked before

I need her, Valleri
I want her, Valleri

Valleri
I want her, Valleri

Valleri
I want her, Valleri


84.Theme From 'The Monkeys'

Lyricist:Tommy Boyce, Bobby Hart

Here we come
Walking down the street
We get the funniest looks from
Everyone we meet

Hey, hey we're the Monkees
And people say we monkey around
But we're too busy singing
To put anybody down

We go wherever we want to
Do what we like to do
We don't have time to get restless
There's always something new

Hey, hey we're the Monkees
And people say we monkey around
But we're too busy singing
To put anybody down

We're just trying to be friendly
Come watch us sing and play
We're the young generation
And we got something to say

Hey, hey we're the Monkees
You never know where we'll be found
So you'd better get ready
We may be coming to your town

Hey, hey we're the Monkees
And people say we monkey around
But we're too busy singing
To put anybody down


85.I Can't Get Her Off My Mind (LP Version)

Lyricist:Tommy Boyce, Bobby Hart

I've been standing on the corner all day
Tryin' to think of little things to say
'Cause she walks by, ev'ry day about this time
And I don't think I'll ever get her off of my mind

Well, I only met her 'bout a week ago
But the way she smiles, lets me know
That she could see, that maybe we were two of a kind
And I don't think I'll ever get her off of my mind

Oh, she's so pretty, I couldn't believe
She'd ever look my way
But the way I'm feeling
I'm going to be stealing
That little girl's heart today

Well, I'm so happy, I could almost fly
And I guess you know the reason why
I'm walkin' down the street with her little hand in mine
And I don't think I'll ever get her off of my mind

Oh, she's so pretty, I couldn't believe
She'd ever look my way
But the way I'm feeling
I'm going to be stealing
That little girl's heart today

Well, I'm so happy, I could almost fly
And I guess you know the reason why
I'm walkin' down the street with her little hand in mine
And I don't think I'll ever get her off of my mind
And I don't think I'll ever get her off of my mind


86.Early Morning Blues and Greens (LP Version)

Lyricist:Diane Hilderbrand, Jack Keller

A distant night bird mocks the sun
I wake as I have always done
To freshly scented sycamore
And cold bare feet on hardwood floor

My steaming coffee warms my face
I'm disappointed in the taste
But there's a peace the early brings
The morning world of growing things

I feel the moments hurry on
It was today, it's died away
And now it is forever gone

And I will drink my coffee slow
And I will watch my shadow grow
And disappear in firelight
And sleep alone again tonight


87.The Monkees (Theme Song from the Show)

Lyricist:Tommy Boyce, Bobby Hart

Here we come
Walkin' down the street
We get the funniest looks from
Every one we meet

Hey, hey, we're The Monkees
And people say we monkey around
But we're too busy singing
To put anybody down

We go wherever we want to
Do, what we like to do
We don't have time to get restless
There's always something new

Hey, hey, we're The Monkees
And people say we monkey around
But we're too busy singing
To put anybody down

We're just tryin' to be friendly
Come and watch us sing and play
We're the young generation
And we've got something to say

Any time
Or anywhere
Just look over your shoulder
Guess who'll be standing there

Hey, hey, we're The Monkees
And people say we monkey around
But we're too busy singing
To put anybody down

Hey, hey, we're The Monkees
And people say we monkey around
But we're too busy singing

89.Hey Hey We're The Monkeys

Lyricist:Tommy Boyce, Bobby Hart

Here we come, here we come crawling out of the mud
From chaos primeval to the barnyard sun
Dragging our bad selves from one end of time
With nothing to declare but some half written rhymes

We're happy and dire, confused and depressed
The songs that we sing are the songs of the blessed
With flowers to pick and blood on our hands
Who or what, I'll help you understand

Hey hey, we're the Monkees
What? Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
What? What's going on?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

We're not the Monkees
Hey, hey, we're the Monkees
We're not the monkeys
We don't even like the monkeys

Have I ever liked the Monkees?
Hey hey we're the Monkees
Monkees, monkeys, monkeys
Monkees, monkey, monkey
Monkees, monkey, monkey, monkey
Monkey, monkey, Monkees

A whomp bam baloo bop ballop bam bomp
A whomp bam baloo bop ballop bam bomp

We're justified and we're ancient
And we like to roam the land
We're justified and we're ancient
I hope you understand

We don't want to upset the apple cart
And we don't want to 'cause any harm
But if you don't like what we're going to do
You better not stop us 'cause we're coming through

We're justified and we're ancient
And we like to roam the land
We're justified and we're ancient
I hope you understand

We don't want to upset the apple cart
And we don't want to 'cause any harm

You better not stop us 'cause we're coming through

We're justified and we're ancient
And we like to roam the land
We're justified and we're ancient

And we don't want to 'cause any harm
But if you don't like what we're going to do
You better not stop us 'cause we're coming through

We don't want to upset the apple cart
And we don't want to 'cause any harm
But if you don't like what we're going to do
You better not stop us 'cause we're coming through

We're justified and we're ancient
And we like to roam the land
We're justified and we're ancient
I hope you understand

We don't want to upset the apple cart
And we don't want to 'cause any harm
But if you don't like what we're going to do
You better not stop us 'cause we're coming through
Ooh ah

Mind the gap, mind the gap, mind the gap
Stand clear of the doors please


90.For Pete's Sake (Closing Theme)

Lyricist:J Richards, Peter Tork

Love is understandin'
Don't you know that this is true
Love is understandin'
It's in everything we do

In this generation
In this lovin' time
In this generation
We will make the world shine

We were born to love one another
This is somethin', we all need
We were born to love one another
We must be what we're goin' to be
And what we have to be, is free

In this generation
In this lovin' time
In this generation
We will make the world shine

We were born to love one another
This is somethin', we all need
We were born to love one another
We must be what we're goin' to be
And what we have to be, is free

Love is understandin'
We gotta be free
Love is understandin'
We gotta be free

In this generation
Love is understandin'
We gotta be free
We gotta be free
We gotta be free
We gotta be free


Lyricist:Michael Nesmith

You tell me that you've never been this way before
You tell me things I know that I've heard somewhere
You're standing in the places and you're staring down through
faces
That bring to mind traces of a girl, a girl that I knew
somewhere

I just can't put my finger on what it is
That says to me, 'Watch out, don't believe her'
I can't give any reasons girl, my thoughts are bound down in a
whirl
I just can't think who in the world was that girl, I know I met
her somewhere

Someway, somehow this same thing was done
Someone, somewhere did me this same wrong

So, goodbye dear, I just can't take this chance again
My fingers are still burning from the last time
And if your love was not a game, I only have myself to blame
That's as maybe, I can't explain, just ask the girl that I knew
somewhere

And if your love was not a game, I only have myself to blame
That's as maybe, I can't explain, just ask the girl that I knew
somewhere


92.Don't Listen to Linda (Unissued Version)

Lyricist:Tommy Boyce, Bobby Hart

Don't listen to Linda
She said all those things before
She's just a pretender
And though you couldn't love her more

She'll lead you on but then one day
She'll say you have to part
Don't listen to Linda
She'll only break your heart

Don't listen to Linda
If you want some good advice
Just try to remember
She did it once, she'll do it twice

There's more to her little games
Than your eyes can see
Don't listen to Linda
Or you'll end up like me

You'll never understand her
All the presents you could hand her
Would never be enough

Oh, no, so, don't underestimate her
'Cause sooner or later
The going's gonna start to get rough

Don't listen to Linda
Don't believe the things you hear
You're her top contender
For the 'Loser Of The Year'

I've said everything I can
To try and make you see
Don't listen to Linda
Or you'll end up like me

Don't listen to Linda
She said all those things before
She's just a pretender
And though you couldn't love her more

She'll lead you on but then one day
She'll say you have to part
Don't listen to Linda
She'll only break your heart


93.The Porpoise Song - Micky Dolenz

Lyricist:Gerry Goffin

My, my the clock in the sky is pounding away
There's so much to say
A face, a voice, an overdub has no choice
And it cannot rejoice

Wanting to be, to hear and to see
Crying to the sky

But the porpoise is laughing goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

Clicks, clacks, riding the backs of giraffes
For laughs is alright for a while
The ego sings of castles and kings and things
That go with a life of style

Wanting to feel, to know what is real
Living is a lie

But the porpoise is waiting goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye


94.The Girl I Left Behind Me (First Recorded Version)

Lyricist:Carole Bayer Sager, Neil Sedaka

It's old enough to try and tie you down
So, I just couldn't place and hung around
You always said that you must be free
Well you couldn't see you were losing me
And messin' up the one good thing we had

And now I'm goin' out the same way that I came in
The game is over now, I couldn't win
My heart is all I have to pack
And this time girl I won't be back
And years from now I'll turn around and see
The girl I left behind me

I told myself that things would be okay
It come around to my way any day
As time went on you just stayed the same
No, you couldn't change or be rearranged
I'm pickin' up the pieces of my life

And now I'm goin' out the same way that I came in
The game is over now, I couldn't win
My heart is all I have to pack
And this time girl I won't be back
And years from now I'll turn around and see
The girl I left behind me

As time went on you just stayed the same
No, you, you couldn't change or be rearranged
I'm pickin' up the pieces of my life

And now I'm goin' out the same way. I came in
The game is over now, I couldn't win
My heart is all I have to pack
And this time girl I won't be back
And years from now I'll turn around and see
The girl I left behind me
Behind me, behind me


95.The Door Into Summer (Album Version)

Lyricist:Hatlelid Douglas Farthing, Martin William E

With his fool's gold stacked up all around him
From a killing in the market on the war
The children left King Midas there, as they found him
In his counting house where nothing counts but more

And he thought he heard the echo of a penny whistle band
And the laughter from a distant caravan
And the brightly painted line of circus wagons in the sand
Fading through the door into summer

With it's travel onto maybe next year's places
As a trade-in for a name upon the door
And he pays for every years, he cannot buy back with his tears
And he finds out there's been no one keeping score

And he thought he heard the echoes of a penny whistle band
And the laughter from a distant caravan
And the brightly painted line of circus wagons in the sand
Fading through the door into summer

Yes he thought he heard the echoes of a penny whistle band
And the laughter from a distant caravan
And the brightly painted line of circus wagons in the sand
Fading through the door into summer

Fading through the door
Fading through the door into summer
Fading through the door into summer
Fading through the door into summer

97.Alvin

Lyricist:Peter Tork

Did you ever step on a water pipe
Pipe falls to the bottom of the water system
And there did you meet a little alligator
Who answered to the name of Alvin?

If you did, he's mine, I lost him
I threw my Alvin down the water pipe
Pipe, down to the bottom of the water system
Because he was getting to big for his britches
But now I'm getting lonely since he's gone
I miss him


Lyricist:Neil Diamond

Look out, here comes tomorrow
That's when I'll have to choose
How I wish I could borrow
Someone else's shoes

Mary, oh what a sweet girl
Lips like strawberry pie
Sandra, the long hair and pig tails
Can't make up my mind

I see all kinds of sorrow
Wish I only loved one
Look out, here comes tomorrow
Oh how I wish tomorrow would never come

Told them both that I loved them
Said it, and it was true
But I can't have both of them
Don't know what to do

I see all kinds of sorrow
Wish I only loved one
Look out, here comes tomorrow
Oh how I wish tomorrow would never come

Mary I love you
Sandra I love you

Well I see all kinds of sorrow
Wish I only loved one
Look out, here comes tomorrow
Oh how I wish tomorrow would never come

Well I see all kinds of sorrow
Wish I only loved one
Look out, here comes tomorrow
Oh how I wish tomorrow would never come

I love you
Darling, I love you


99.Ceiling In My Room

Lyricist:De Mieri Dominick Peter, Dick Robert, Jones David

I'm a millionaire
Without a care in the world
I have played the game
I've made the grade, I've shown them all

I'm a teenage idol
Just starting a tune
No, it's just
The ceiling in my room

I have got more friends
Than I've ever had before
But are all these friends
Like the ones I knew before?

Hey, look, there's my old schoolmates
There at my back door
No, it's just
The ceiling in my room

If I could only be part
Of the things that I see
I'd trade all the wealth and fame
You've given to me

Oh, I want to be free
But, no matter what, my future may bring
I always will remember
Just one simple thing

That when all my visions
Contain only gloom
I know, it's just
The ceiling in my room, my room, my room

La da ta, la da ta, da da da, da da, ta ta
La da da, la da da, da da daah

La da ta, la da ta, da da da, da da, ta ta
La da da, la da da, da da daah

La da ta, la da ta, da da da, da da, ta ta
La da da, la da da, da da daah

Lyricist:Bloom Bobby, Goldberg Neil Brian

You could make it all so easy
Girl you know just how to please me
Don't you do it if you think you got to
Don't you do it 'cause you think you ought to

Ooh, do it in the name of love
If you really want me that's reason enough
Do it in the name of love
Do it in the name of love

Baby, ain't it good to go together?
I swear it feels just like forever
Hmm don't be scared and don't you worry, no
It's all right, there's no hurry, oh no

Do it in the name of love
If you really want me that's reason enough
Do it in the name of love
Do it in the name of love

Come on now do it in the name of love
If you really want me that's reason enough
Do it in the name of love

101.I'll Spend My Life With You (Album Version)

Lyricist:Tommy Boyce, Bobby Hart

People come and people go
Movin' fast and movin' slow
I'm in a crowd yet I'm all alone

The road is long, the road is rough
I do believe I've had enough
I'm gonna turn around and head for home

And I hope you're there
And you still care
And if you do
I'll spend my life with you

I've had all the time I need
To rearrange my mind and lead
The life I thought I wanted yesterday

I played a game that couldn't last
And now some memories from the past
Have turned my thoughts around a different way

And girl, I find
You're still on my mind
And if you want me to
I'll spend my life with you

And girl, I find
You're still on my mind
And if you want me to
I'll spend my life with you

Happy birthday to you


103.Now I'm A Believer

Lyricist:Neil Diamond

I thought love was only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else but not for me
Love was out to get me, that's the way it seemed
Disappointment haunted all my dreams

Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
I'm in love, I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her if I tried

I thought love was more or less a given thing
Seems the more I gave the less I got
What's the use in tryin'? All you get is pain
When I needed sunshine I got rain

Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
I'm in love, I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her if I tried


104.Lady Jane

Lyricist:Robert Bloom, Neil Goldberg

She's my lady
She's my girl
She's my woman
She is my world

She's what I want
She's what I need
She's what I got, Lord
She's just my speed

She's my daytime
And she's my night
All through the darkness
She is my light

Oh, she is a dream, she is
And everything real
She is my heartbeat
She's how I feel

She's a song
Without an end
She's my lover
And my best friend

Oh, deep in the night, all right, all right
I whisper her name
I say, 'Lady, lady, lady
Lady Jane'

Lady Jane
Lady Jane
Lady Jane
...


Lyricist:Janelle Scott, Matt Willis

There's a Wonderland for Alice
There's a tall beanstalk for Jack
The sleepy train will take you there
Safely down the track

With the sandman at the throttle
You'll be off to dreams and back
It's pillow time again

You will meet all your storybook friends
As you go down Mother Goose Lane
Romp with Jack and Jill, up and down the hill
And try to put Humpty together again

Close your sleepy eyes and listen
While we take a little hop
The candy whistle's blowing
Don't you miss your station stop

So, good night, my weary farer
Pleasant dreams to you, old top
It's pillow time again

There's a Wonderland for Alice
There's a tall beanstalk for Jack
The sleepy train will take you there
Safely down the track

With the sandman at the throttle
You'll be off to dreams and back
It's pillow time again

You will meet all your storybook friends
As you go down Mother Goose Lane
Romp with Jack and Jill, up and down the hill
And try to put Humpty together again


106.Tema Dei Monkees

Ecco qua
Passiamo noi
E la gente ci guarda
Ed ammir con voi

Ci chiamano i Monkees
E siamo meno matti di chi
Si crede piu' intelligente
Di noi che la pensiamo cosi'

Dovunque parliamo
Non e' giusto mai
C'e' sempre qualcuno che
Ne sa piu' di noi

Ci chiamano i Monkees
E siamo meno matti di chi
Si crede piu' intelligente
Di noi che la pensiamo cosi'
Ci chiamano i Monkees


107.(I'm Not Your) Steppin' Stone

Lyricist:Tommy Boyce, Bobby Hart

One, two, one, two, three, four

I met you, girl, you didn't have no shoes
Now you're walking 'round like you're front page news
You've been awful, careful 'bout the friends you choose
But, you won't have my name in your book of who's who

Not your steppin' stone
Not your steppin' stone
Not your steppin' stone
Not your steppin' stone
Not your steppin' stone
Not your steppin' stone

You're making your mark in society
Using all the tricks that you used on me
All them high fashion magazines
The clothes you're wearin', girl, are causing public scenes

Not your steppin' stone
Not your steppin' stone

One, two, one, two, three, four

Not your steppin' stone
Not your steppin' stone
Not your steppin' stone
Not your steppin' stone

Not your steppin' stone
Not your steppin' stone
Not your steppin' stone
Oh, not your steppin' stone, no, not me

Oh, babe, I'm not your steppin' stone
No babe, I'm not your steppin' stone
Babe, not your steppin' stone, not me
Not your steppin' stone
No babe, I'm not your


108.Someday Man

Lyricist:Roger Nichols, Paul Williams

Some people always complain
That their life is too short so they hurry it along
Their worries drive them insane
But they still go along for the ride

As for me, I have all the time in the world

I was born a someday man
I'm a maybe child
I was born a someday man
I was always wild

Tomorrow's a new day, baby
Anything can happen
Anything can happen at all

Some folks are working for reasons
And waiting for answers they're never gonna find
They keep on searching for pleasures
And looking so hard they can't see

But for me, life can be a sweet holiday

I was born a someday man
I'm a maybe child
I was born a someday man
I was always wild

Tomorrow's a new day, baby
Anything can happen
Anything can happen at all

I was born a someday man
I'm a maybe child
I was born a someday man
I was always wild

I was born a someday man
I'm a maybe child
I was born a someday man
I was always wild


109.Smile

I wake to the sun shining, orange and blue skies
Oh, what a feeling deep inside
It's so hard for me to hide

You cannot imagine, a feeling so different
You've come so far, you're at my door
You're knocking at my door

Won't you come inside and talk awhile?
What I have to say may make you smile
Smile, smile, smile

I wake to the sun shining, orange and blue skies
Oh, what a feeling deep inside
It's so hard for me to hide

Won't you come inside and talk awhile?
What I have to say may make you smile
Smile, smile, smile


110.Swami-Plus Strings

Lyricist:Kenneth Thorne

We were speaking of belief
Beliefs and conditioning
All belief possibly could be said
To be the result of some conditioning

Thus the study of history is simply
The study of one system of beliefs
Deposing another
And so on and so on and so on

A psychologically tested belief of our time
Is that the central nervous system
Which feeds it's impulses
Directly to the brain

Is unable to discern between the real and the vividly
Imagined experience if there is a difference
And most of us believe there is
Am I being clear?

To examine these concepts requires
Tremendous energy and discipline
To experience the now
Without preconception or belief

To allow the unknown to occur
And to occur requires clarity
For where there is clarity
There is no choice

And where there is choice, there is misery
But then why should anyone listen to me?
Why should I speak since I know nothing?


111.Theme From 'The Monkeys'

Lyricist:Tommy Boyce, Bobby Hart

Here we come
Walking down the street
We get the funniest looks from
Everyone we meet

Hey, hey we're the Monkees
And people say we monkey around
But we're too busy singing
To put anybody down

We go wherever we want to
Do what we like to do
We don't have time to get restless
There's always something new

Hey, hey we're the Monkees
And people say we monkey around
But we're too busy singing
To put anybody down

We're just trying to be friendly
Come watch us sing and play
We're the young generation
And we got something to say

Hey, hey we're the Monkees
You never know where we'll be found
So you'd better get ready
We may be coming to your town

Hey, hey we're the Monkees
And people say we monkey around
But we're too busy singing
To put anybody down


112.My Share of the Sidewalk

Lyricist:Michael Nesmith

If you're the girl that I know this, putting designs in my mind
Than you're more than welcome to my share of the sidewalk
If you're the chick I saw in the tall grass looking at someone
Through tinted blue glass
Than you're more than welcome to my share of the sidewalk

'Cause I've never been this close before
To someone who didn't seem to mind
I've never found hellos before, I've only found goodbyes

If you're the girl I met in my daydreams
Handing out flowers and chocolate ice cream
Than you're more than welcome to my share of the sidewalk
If you're the girl that I talked to and said do you mind if I
love you
Than you're more than welcome to my share of the sidewalk

'Cause I've never been this close before
To someone who didn't seem to mind
I've never found hellos before, I've only found goodbyes

If you're the girl I met in my daydreams
Handing out flowers and chocolate ice cream
Than you're more than welcome to my share of the sidewalk
If you're the girl that I talked to and said do you mind if I
love you
Than you're more than welcome to my share of the sidewalk


113.Porpoise Song (Theme from 'Head')

Lyricist:Gerry Goffin

My, my, the clock in the sky
Is pounding away
And there's so much to say

A face, a voice
An overdub has no choice
An image cannot rejoice

Wanting to be
To hear and to see
Crying to the sky

But the porpoise is laughing
Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

Clicks, clacks, riding the backs
Of giraffes for laughs
S'alright for a while

The ego sings of castles
And kings and things that go
With a life of style

Wanting to feel
To know what is real
Living is a, is a lie

The porpoise is waiting
Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
