1.This life
It's a little device
It's a little device
Keeps you warm
Keeps you warm
It's a little surprise
Just a little surprise
To keep you calm
To keep you calm
Shadows and light
Shadows and light
I see your face on every single street
Got to get out of this place tonight
Got to get out of this way of life
Got to get out of this place tonight
It's a little device
It's a little device
Keeps you warm
Keeps you warm
Got to get out of this place tonight
Got to get out of this way of life
2.California
A new life is what we need
A new life is out of here
Little moments, don't you know?
Maybe go to California, where it's warm
Get some work, I can see
You and I breaking waves
In the sunshine
Don't start slipping away
Don't start slipping away
No sad refrains
They belong to yesterday
Don't start slipping away
Don't start slipping away
California, California
3.Pretty Love Songs
Sing a pretty love song
Sing it straight from your heart
'Cause these pretty love songs
They're what keep us alive
And we know they lie
But we'll always try to
Sing pretty love songs
Sing them straight from the heart
'Cause these pretty love songs
They're what keep us alive
Yes we know they lie
But everyone likes that
Ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba
Don't speak of the truth
Just make an excuse
'Cause these pretty love songs
They're what keep us alive
Yes we know they're shit
But we like the hits
So sing a pretty love song
Sing it straight from your heart
'Cause these pretty love songs
They're what keep us alive
They're what keep us alive
4.Saying Goodbye
Always dreaming, always dreaming of you
Always on my mind now
As you've always been
Some things are best forgotten
So you can sleep
The world was not enough love
And baby it'll never be
Just fall into the arms of
Someone who'll lie.
And if this is a way of saying goodbye
Goodbye.
And if this is a way of saying goodbye
Goodbye.
Always dreaming, always dreaming of you
Summer fills the canyon
California free
The blossoms and the birdsong
Are all I need
And if this is a way of saying goodbye
Goodbye.
And if this is a way of saying goodbye
Goodbye.
5.The Road To Hollywood
It's a dirty little world
Full of dirty little complications
And I've been kneeling at your feet
I've been holding up the cross for us now
And it's a sad sad sad song
Yeah it's a sad sad sad song
We're all on the road to Hollywood
See you on the road to Hollywood
Hollywood
It's a situation lost in the midst
Of the bitch renaissance
And I've been burying the past
In a place that I can't locate now.
And it's the season of love
Yeah it's the season of love
We're all on the road to Hollywood
See you on the road to Hollywood
Hollywood
I got my teenage kicks
From a middle aged man in slacks
So forgive me if it takes a while
For me to laugh.
We're all on the road to Hollywood
See you on the road to Hollywood
Hollywood
6.How Can The Knower Be Known?
How can the knower be known John John?
How can the knower be known?
If it rains everyday
If it rains everyday
If it rains everyday
Will you sink?
Will you swim?
Will you sink?
Will you swim?
Will you sing like a bird in jail?
How can the knower be known John John?
How can the knower be known?
If it rains everyday
If it rains everyday
If it rains.
7.Ordinary Day
I need you wa ba da ba da
I need you wa ba da ba da
I need you
I need you
I need you
I need you
Who loves you wa ba da ba da?
Who loves you wa ba da ba da?
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
It's an ordinary day
It's just an ordinary day
Nothing much to laugh about
Nothing much to cry about
I love you wa ba da ba da
I love you wa ba da ba da
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
It's an ordinary day
It's just an ordinary day
Nothing much to laugh about
Nothing much to cry about
It's just an ordinary day.
8.A Face In The Crowd
Does it hurt that much to love?
I sing myself a lullaby
To take me through the darkest night
Does it hurt to love that much?
I have found and I have lost
Everything I ever wanted in you.
A face in the crowd
Such a pretty one
A face in the crowd
Oh my little one
A face in the crowd
I have lost you now.
So was he the better man?
Did he sing you lullabies
To take you through the starry skies above?
Wipe the blackspots from your hands?
As the night falls into day
I wish you could've stayed that way
A face in the crowd
Such a pretty one
A face in the crowd
Oh my little love
A face in the crowd
I have lost you now.
9.Morning Song
I'm free now, I'm free
Good morning, good morning
Blue sky, blue sky
I'm free now, good morning
Good morning blue sky
Blue sky, it's so blue
Pick up the papers, put on your clothes
Everything seems just like it used to be,
Used to be.
And all that wasted time
I just waited for a smile
All my wasted time
And all I needed was a smile
'Cause you're free
And you're alive
You're free and you're alive
You're free
Pick up the papers, put on your clothes
Everything seems just like it used to be,
Used to be.
Pick up the papers, put on your clothes
Everything seems just like it used to be,
Used to be.
10.Venus Of The Canyon
Venus, here's your answer
Venus, this girl's not for you
And it's true she's your alibi
She's your golden child.
I had it all
I had it all
I gave it up
Solitude
Solitude
Solitude
Silent night
Silent night
Silent night.
Seamless, seamless as the days roll by
Venus, she's your alibi
And it's true
She will never cry for you
I had it all
I had it all
I gave it up
Solitude
Solitude
Solitude
Silent night
Silent night
Silent night
Where are you?
Wake up!
Where are your solitude?
Where are you?
Wake up...
As the years roll by
Venus, she's your golden child
And it's true
She will never cry...
I had it all
I had it all
I gave it up
Solitude
Solitude
Solitude
Silent night
Silent night
Silent night.
