1.BALL AND CHAIN

Lyrics:Young/Barfield
Music:Young/Barfield

Oh the room goes quiet at the mention of her name
As her face comes back to haunt you once again
And the rumour's going 'round she's with another guy
Don't worry, all of the damage is done
No reason to tell her 'Get outta here'
She's in a party of one
And one is such an unhappy number

(Chorus)
I wonder why she came
Everywhere there's thunder
Sure you're gonna find some rain
I wonder why you play the game
Oh that spell you're under
Maybe she's your ball and chain

All I see is a girl who's having to pretend
And I tell her 'have a heart'
If she had a heart to mend
Don't worry, all of the damage is done
No reason to tell her et outta here?/p>
She's in a party of one
And one is such an unhappy number

(repeat chorus)

Don't worry, poor little rich girl have fun
Her jealousy fears you're the stronger one
Maybe tomorrow won't come
And one is such an unlucky number

I wonder why she came
Everywhere there's thunder
Sure you're gonna find some rain
I wonder why you play the game
Oh that spell you're under
Maybe she's your ball and chain


2.I WISH YOU LOVE

Lyrics:Young/Barfield
Music:Young/Barfield

It was long ago
You remember though
Like it's yesterday
How you look my innocence and then you stole away
Never to return

Glad it's over now
I can laugh at now
You said I'm the one
Then you lit the fuse and so amused you turned and run
And it's me who got burned

But you'll always stay in love they say
(With the first love, it's your last love)
And you'll always be a part of me
Wouldn't want it any other way

(Chorus)
And I wish you luck
I wish you love
Wherever you call home
And you'll always be a part of me
May you never be alone

There's been many times
When I feel that I'm
Living in despair
And believing in a dream that nobody shares
Well you live and learn

But you'll always stay in love they say
(With the first love, it's your last love)
And you'll always be a part of me
Wouldn't want it any other way

(Repeat chorus)

But you'll always stay in love they say
And you'll always be a part of me
But you'll always stay in love they say
(With the first love, it's your last love)
And you'll always be a part of me
Wouldn't want it any other way

(Repeat chorus)

And I wish you luck
I wish you love
Wherever you call home
And I'm here to tell
I wish you well
May you never be alone


3.TULAROSA

Lyrics:Young/Barfield
Music:Young/Barfield

Don't trust in me she said
I'll always lie to you
That way you'll never know
Just where you stand

I'll soothe your loneliness
Until it's time to go
And you need never know
Just where you stand

I know all there is to know
On how a dream gets shattered
And you know all you need to know
One more bleeding heart won't matter now

Don't tell me baby
Don't tell me how
How you love me
Thing can never be the same
'Cause a part of me will still remain

In Tularose, In Tularosa

In times of solitude
I won't remember you
That way you'll never know
Just where you stand

And I don't need your sympathy
Your food upon my table
And no-one watching over me
You won't rock my baby's cradle now

Don't tell me baby
Don't tell me how
How you love me
Things can never be the same
'Cause a part of me will still remain

In Tularose, In Tularosa

I won't remember you
You'll soon forget about me too
My heart belongs somewhere else...
My baby's calling, my baby's calling...


4.VANISH

Lyrics:Young/Burr/Wilson
Music:Young/Burr/Wilson

He'll fall asleep touching her skin
And wake up alone
He'll call out her name in the night
And she will be gone
Just when he thinks he's found
Someone to turn his world around
She'll vanish again

He'll never know how often
She's done this before
There are so many warnings he'll choose
To simply ignore
Just when he thinks he's saved
The same tragic scene is replayed...
She'll vanish again

There'll always be somebody else
Just over the rise
The proof is right there in her eyes
She'll do it to him don't you see
She's done it to me...
And just when he thinks he's found
Someone to turn his world around...
She'll vanish again

Just when he's feeling so sure
And he says that magic word...
She'll vanish again


5.HARD CARGO

Lyrics:Howardine/Booker
Music:Howardine/Booker

I work the long haul on the dockside
Building boats is what I know
Each one takes another year of my life
And then I watch them go
There are no lights around this harbour
The tide has never been so low
You teach them to walk and then you teach them to run
And then you watch them go. You watch them go

(Chorus)
And it's a hard cargo to carry
To see them slipping away
And it's a hard cargo to carry
To see them slipping away, slipping away

Mary was the one who waited
Even when the working was getting slow
You think you know somebody inside out
And then you watch them go. You watch them go

(Repeat chorus)

I believe that when you go
You leave something behind
I believe that out of sight
Is never out of mind

And then you watch them go, you watch them go...
And it's hard cargo to carry
To see them slipping away...
Slipping away, slipping away


6.SAY GOODBYE

Lyrics:Young/Barfield
Music:Young/Barfield

Say goodbye to the wind in your sails
Say goodbye darling
Now you know there's no waves in those shells
Say goodbye darling

Tell me when
You will ever get back to that place again
To the place where you feel that you're safe again
Now you're in love for the first time

Say goodbye to the man in your dreams
Say goodbye darling
Now you know he ain't all that he seems
Say goodbye darling

If you could
You would tell everybody his love is good
And you're feeling a little misunderstood
Now you're in love for the first time

Don't worry. Don't worry. I can read you like a book
Don't take much to get you hooked
Don't take much to get you hooked

When everything that you thought you know is wrong
Hey baby call me I'll be the last one to string you along
Won't you just do one thing and trust in me
If you're looking for a lifeline
'Cos this is just the first time
And it sure won't be the last

Say goodbye to the wind in your sails
Say goodbye darling
Say goodbye to the man in your dreams
Say goodbye darling
Don't worry. Don't worry...


7.IN A DREAM GONE BY

Lyrics:Young/Barfield/Moses
Music:Young/Barfield/Moses

The night rolls on
The emptiness comes
And I know with the dawn
I'll never forget your name
If in time, only the memory shall remain
If love has a heart
Then so it will die
But love, you and I
Always and forever stay
On my mind, soothing the loneliness that we find

(Chorus)
In a dream gone by
You appeared to show me our love was alive
In a dream gone by
Now I know my hunger will be satisfied
In each passing day

The longer I roam
The further from home
Deep in heart of me
Love lives on, tenderly taking control of me
Though I carry on
The reasons are wrong
I wish I was home
Holding you close to me
Oh my love, just when I fear for my sanity

(Repeat chorus)

D'amor corazon
Un dia morira
Y'amor estaras
En mi memoria
Calmando, la soledad que tengo adentro

In a dream gone by
You appeared to show me our love was alive
In a dream gone by
There's no place where everyone's love will survive
In a dream gone by
I can see the passion, that light in your eyes
In a dream gone by
Now I know my hunger will be satisfied


8.YOU'D BETTER RUN AWAY

Lyrics:Young/Barfield/Keys
Music:Young/Barfield/Keys

If you won't change
If you won't change you'd better run away

My so called sense of humour
You say it's just a rumour
You'd never see me laugh
When you two walk away
Why do you stick together
The coward and his feather
Can't do without the part
That's eating them away
Though it's easier said than done
I am not the only one

(Chorus)
But I can't wait so run away
Run away and stay
I'm married to this fatal memory
And I can't wait so run away
Run away and stay
If you won't change
If you won't change you'd better run away

Goldiggers are united
You stand there undecided
Between my love and all that foreign currency
Don't want your party line
Don't wanna own or call you mine
Is there no answer but some painful surgery
Though it's easier said than done
I am not the only one

(Repeat chorus)

If you won't change
If you won't change you'd better run away
(You'd better run away)

(Repeat chorus)

If you won't change
If you won't change you'd better run away


9.ACROSS THE BORDERLINE

Lyrics:Hiatt/Cooder/Dickinson
Music:Hiatt/Cooder/Dickinson

There's a place that I've been told
Every street is paved with gold
And it's just across the borderline

When it's time to take your turn
There's a lesson you must learn
You can lose more that you ever hope to find

And when you reach the broken promised land
Every dream slips through your hand
Then you'll know that it's too late
To change your mind
'Cause you pay the price to come this far
Just to wind up where you are
And you're still just across the borderline

Up and down the Rio Grande
A thousand footprints in the sand
They reveal the secrets no one can define

The river flows on like a breath
In between our life and death
Tell me who's the next to cross the borderline

And when you reach the broken promised land
Every dream slips through your hand
And you'll lose more than you'll ever hope to find
'Cause you pay the price to come this far
Just to wind up where you are
And you're still just across the borderline


10.THEN THERE'S YOU

Lyrics:Young/Seskin/Macdonald
Music:Young/Seskin/Macdonald

Another Monday morning
Gotta clear my head
No more time for dreaming

Traffic was a nightmare
Boss is on my back
If I hear one more cross word
I think I'm gonna crack

And then there's you
Comin' in right on cue
When I say no can do
You give me strength to fight
To see a new shade of blue
Everything's black and white
And then there's you

The sky is clear this morning
Looks like a brighter day
And I don't need to worry
When it fades away

'Cos then there's you
Someone to hold on to
When all of my plans fall through
To give me strength to fight
To see a new shade of blue
Everything's black and white
And then there's you

You, keep me warm when nights are cold
You, light a fire in my soul
You give strength to fight
To see a new shade of blue
Everything's black and white
And then there's you


11.It Was A Very Good Year

Lyrics:Ervin M.Drake
Music:Ervin M.Drake

When I was seventeen, it was a very good year
It was a very good year for small town girls
And soft summer nights, we'd hide from the lights
On the village green, when I was seventeen

When I was twenty-one, it was a very good year
It was a very good year for city girls
Who lived up the stair, with all that crazy hair
And it came undone, when I was twenty-one

When I was thirty-five, it was a very good year
It was a very good year for blue-blooded girls
Of independent means, we'd ride in limousines
Their chauffeur would drive, when I was thirty-five

But when the days are short in the autumn of the year
I will think my life as vintage wine
From fine old kegs, from the brim to the dregs
Pouring sweet and clear, it was a very good year


12.WINDOW WORLD

Lyrics:Young/Barfield
Music:Young/Barfield

Are you willing girl
To share with me this crazy window world
Are you willing girl
Although you're gonna cry some tears
Don't answer yet, there's no going back from here

Are you worried now
Worried 'bout those crazy starin' eyes
Are you telling me
You're fool enough to want me too
Don't answer yet, there's no telling what I might do
Don't answer yet, there's no telling what I might do

Now here I am within this room
A prisoner in a home
When I tell you spread your wings for beaches you should comb
You still come back to me
You still come back to me

Baby I've seen everyone
And taken every pill
But you're the closest thing I've got
To cure me of this ill
You know I love you girl
You know I love you girl

Now here I am within this room
A prisoner in a home
When I tell you spread your wings for beaches you should comb
You still come back to me
You still come back to me

Are you willing girl
To share with me this crazy window world
Are you willing girl
Although you're gonna cry some tears

Don't answer yet, there's no going back from here
Don't answer yet, there's no going back from here
Don't answer yet, there's no going back from here
