1.Walking Down Your Street

Written:Susanna Hoffs/David Kahne&Louis Gutierrez
Arranger:David Kahne

Oooh, oh I've had sleepless nights
Toss and turn, wake up burning
For what you inspire.

So, I'm gonna walk right down your street
With a love that I can't hide
I've got one thing on my mind
Yeah, I'll even sacrifice my pride, 'cause I want you.

Oooh, oh how I wish you would be mine
My pulse is weak, I'm blushing brighter
Then a valentine.

'Cause I've been walking down your street
With a love that I can't hide
I've got one thing on my mind
Yeah, I'll even sacrifice my pride.

'Cause I can't stop the way I feel
So, I'll keep walking on, 'cause I want you.

(Walking...down...down...down your street
Walking...down your street)
Walking...down your street (walking)
Down your street (walking...down...down...down)
Oh no (walking) oh-woe-oh.

I can't stop the way I feel
So, I'll keep walking on.

Walking down your street
With a love that I can't hide
Oh, I've got one thing on my mind
Yeah, I'll even sacrifice my pride ('cause I want you).

Walking down your street
With a love that I can't hide
Yeah, I've got one thing on my mind
Yeah, I'll even sacrifice my pride ('cause I want you).

Walking down your street
With a love that I can't hide
Oh, I've got one thing on my mind
Yeah, I'll even sacrifice my pride ('cause I want you).

Lyrics:Alex Chilton

Arranger:David Kahne

September gurls do so much
And for so long, 'til we touched
I love you, boy nevermind
I've been crying all the time.

December boys got it bad
December boys got it bad.

September gurls, I don't know why
How can I deny what's inside
Even though I keep away
They will love all our days.

December boys got it bad
December boys got it bad.

When I get to bed late at night
That's the time he makes things right
Ooh, when he makes love to me
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh.

September gurls do so much
And for so long, 'til we touched
I loved you, boy nevermind
I've been crying all the time.

December boys got it bad
December boys got it bad
December boys got it bad
Oooh, oooh, oooh.

Oooh, oooh, oooh
Oooh, oooh, (oooh) oooh
Oooh, oooh, oooh.


3.Be With You

Lyrics:Debbi Peterson&Walker Igleheart
Music:Davitt Sigerson

Out my window
The rain starts to fall
And the wind blows
Through an empty hall
In the mirror
Ooh, reflections of you.

In the distance I hear a sound
Is that you coming around.

(What you gonna do) oh, what you gonna do
(I think I should) I think I should be with you
(A love that's overdue) a love that's overdue
Oh, I think I should be with you.

Thought I saw you
Through a stranger's face
Should I call you
Or should I walk away
Round the corner
Is around the world.

Is that you looking at me
Or am I living a dream, woe-oh.

(What you gonna do) oh, what you gonna do
(I think I should) I think I should be with you
(A love that's overdue) oh, a love that's overdue
Oh, I think I should be with you.

And when I'm lost in a dream
You are all I can see
All alone in the night I'm waiting for you
Every moment I'd die
Just to look in your eyes
The dream is alive...I'm waiting.

Oh, my (oh my)
How I try
To make you see that
I should be with you.

In the distance I hear a sound
Is that you coming around.

(What you gonna do) oh, what you gonna do
(I think I should) I think I should be with you
(A love that's overdue) oh, a love that's overdue
Oh, I think I should be with you.

(Oh-I-I-I-I-I) I think I should be with you
(I-I-I-I-I) I think I should be with you
(I-I-I-I-I) I think I should be with you.


4.If She Knew What She Wants

Lyrics:Jules Shear
Music:David Kahne

Oooooh.

If she knew what she wants
(He'd be giving it to her)
If she knew what she needs
(He could give her that too)
If she knew what she wants
(But he can't see through her)
If she knew what she wants
He'd be giving it to her
Giving it to her.

But she wants everything
(He can pretend to give her everything)
Or there's nothing she wants
(She don't want to sort it out)
He's crazy for this girl
(But she don't know what she's looking for)
If she knew what she wants
He'd be giving it to her
Giving it to her.

I'd say her values are corrupted
But she's open to change
Then one day she's satisfied
And the next I'll find her crying
And it's nothing she can explain.

If she knew what she wants
(He'd be giving it to her)
If she knew what she needs
(He could give her that too)
If she knew what she wants
(But he can't see through her)
If she knew what she wants
He'd be giving it to her
Giving it to her (giving it to her).

Some have a style
That they work hard to refine
So they walk a crooked line
But she won't understand
Why anyone would have to try
To walk a line when they could fly.

No sense thinking I could rehabilitate her
When she's fine, fine, fine
She's got so many ideas traveling around in her head
She doesn't need nothing from mine.

If she knew what she wants
(He'd be giving it to her)
If she knew what she needs
(He could give her that too)
If she knew what she wants
(But he can't see through her)
If she knew what she wants
He'd be giving it to her
Giving it to her.

But she wants everything
(He can pretend to give her everything)
Or there's nothing she wants
(She don't want to sort it out)
He's crazy for this girl
(But she don't know what she's looking for)
If she knew what she wants
He'd be giving it to her
Giving it to her.

(He'd be giving it to her)
(He could give her that too)
(But he can't see through her)
Ooooooh
Giving it to her
Giving it to her now.


5.I'll Set You Free

Lyrics:Susanna Hoffs/Eric Lowen&Dan Navarro
Music:Davitt Sigerson

I hear you through the wire
The words all sound like noise
What happened to the fire in your voice
Don't try to hide the distance
It's just too big to ignore
We work it out like business
It won't work anymore.

I remember eyes that shined
As they looked so hard back into mine
Now it's just a memory
So I'll set you free (I'll set you free)
(I'll) set you free.

Still sometimes late at night
Moonlight comes into my window
I can make believe it's how it used to be
We made it look so easy
We never tried to resist
Somehow you stopped believing
Somehow we've come to this.

I remember eyes that shined
As they looked so hard back into mine
Now it's just a memory
So I'll set you free
I remember words that fell
Like coins into a wishing well
It was never meant to be
So I'll set you free (I'll set you free)
(I'll) set you free.

So now I must go on
What more can I do
What good is being strong
When all I ever really want is you.

I remember eyes that shined
As they looked so hard back into mine
Now it's just a memory
So I'll set you free
I remember words that fell
Like coins into a wishing well
It was never meant to be
So I'll set you free (I'll set you free)
(I'll) set you free.

I remember eyes that shined (I remember)
As they looked so hard back into mine (all I want is you)
All I want is you
(I remember) I remember words that fell
Like coins into a wishing well (all I want is you)
It's you want that I want
It's you want but I won't tell, oh
I remember eyes that shined
As they looked so hard back into mine (all I want is you).


6.Hero Takes A Fall

Lyrics:Susanna Hoffs&Vicki Peterson
Music:David Kahne

The hero is exposed when
His crimes are brought to the light of day
Won't be feelin' sorry, sorry, sorry
On the judgment day.

It wasn't me who said
There'll be a price to pay
And I won't feel bad at all
When the hero takes a fall
When the hero takes a fall
(Hero takes a fall) oh no.

Your mother told you stories
You substitute with girls who tell you more
Suddenly you sight a fancy chance
Since love is at your door.

We're seeing through you now
I saw it all before
And I won't feel bad at all
When the hero takes a fall
When the hero takes a fall
(Hero takes a fall) oh no.

Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh, uh-huh oh.

Emotion is a virtue
For you, it is the one fatal flaw
Sitting on your throne and drinking,
Thinking she'll return your call.

Every story's got an ending
Look out! Here it comes, here it comes
And I won't feel bad at all
When the hero takes a fall
When the hero takes a fall
(Hero takes a fall) oh woe, woe hoe.

Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh, uh-huh oh.


7.Going Down To Liverpool

Lyrics:Kimberley Rew
Music:David Kahne

Hey now...
Where you going with that load of nothing in your hand
I said:Hey now...
All through this green and pleasant land.

I'm going down to Liverpool to do nothing
I'm going down to Liverpool to do nothing
I'm going down to Liverpool to do nothing
All the days of my life
All the days of my life.

Hey there...
Where you going with that UB40 in your hand
I said: Hey there...
All through this green and pleasant land.

I'm going down to Liverpool to do nothing
I'm going down to Liverpool to do nothing
I'm going down to Liverpool to do nothing
All the days of my life
All the days of my life.

Hey now
Where you going with that UB40 in your hand
I said: Hey now
All through this green and pleasant land.

I'm going down to Liverpool to do nothing
I'm going down to Liverpool to do nothing
All the days of my life
All the days of my life.


8.Crash And Burn

Lyrics:Vicki Peterson&Rachel Sweet
Music:Davitt Sigerson

L.A. to Reno
Checking out the scene-o
Feeling so mean-o
Sometimes I wish I could crash and burn.

Winding through the hot night
Without my headlights
20/20 hindsight
Sometimes I wish I could crash and burn.

Crash and burn
And I never ever felt so lonely
Crash and burn
Can't look them in the eye
Just want to drive and drive and drive.

Going nowhere
And I don't care
Can't wait 'til I get there
Sometimes I wish I could crash and burn.

Crash and burn
And I never ever felt so lonely
Crash and burn
Can't look them in the eye
Just want to drive and drive and drive.

Fifty, sixty, seventy, eighty, ninety
Gotta be a place where they can't find me
Watching all those bridges burn behind me.

And if I can't see
What's passing me
Nothing can touch me
Well, I'll fly, I wish I could.

Crash and burn
And I never ever felt so lonely
Crash and burn
Can't look them in the eye
Just want to drive and drive and drive.

On my Philco
I hear an echo
There was a wreck-o
Yesterday.

And by tomorrow
They'll sweep the char-o
And wash the tar
And trouble away.

I wish I would
I wish I would
I wish I could.


9.Bell Jar

Lyrics:Debbi Peterson&Vicki Peterson
Music:Davitt Sigerson

She walks in the room
And checks out the faces
We think she's all the seven wonders of the world
But there's a sadness
Hidden in the bizarre
Moonlight and madness
Living in a bell jar.

She dresses in black
'Cause sorrow is a magnet
Everything comes to her like it was meant to be
But she's frustrated
Leaving things as they are
What she created
Living in a bell jar.

She seems so at home
She's never alone
But she's oh so lonely
What is the crime
In knowing your mind
Set it free.

Attached to a mirror
In her glass-sided prison
She writes the note that will excuse her from this world (this
world)
It's complicated
Living in a bell jar
And she suffocated
Living in a bell jar.

Bell jar
Bell jar.


10.James

Lyrics:Vicki Peterson
Music:David Kahne

I knew it'd turn out like this
I'm keeping one foot on the train
And I must be a masochist
To ever take up with you, James.

It sounds familiar
That tone in your voice
You're gonna quit, James
You leave me no choice.

Oh, James
Letting me down again, James.

Well, it wasn't so long ago
I saw love in your eyes
And I think I should've known
But I'm feelin' somewhat surprised.

You think there's someone
Better for you
You think I'm too young
To see this thing through.

Oh, James
Letting me down again, James.

(Ooh, let me down) down, down
(Ooh, let me down) let me down, down, down, down
(Ooh, let me down) down, down
(Ooh, let me down) let me down, down, down, down
(Ooh, let me down) down.

I knew it'd turn out like this
I'm keeping one foot out the door
And I don't think I should trust
That kind of love anymore.

And now I realize
I had it all wrong
I'll only take this
Trip for so long.

Woe, James
Letting me down again, James
Guess this is goodbye again, James
Letting me down again
Letting me down again, James.
