1.Little Black Submarines (Single)
Little black submarines
Operator please
Put me back on the line
Told my girl I'd be back
Operator please
This is wreckin' my mind
Oh can it be
The voices calling me
They get lost
And out of time
I should've seen it glow
But everybody knows
That a broken heart is blind
That a broken heart is blind
Pick you up, let you down
When I wanna go
To a place I can hide
You know me, I had plans
But they just disappeared
To the back of my mind
Oh can it be
The voices calling me
They get lost
And out of time
I should've seen a glow
But everybody knows
That a broken heart is blind
That a broken heart is blind
Treasure maps, fallen trees
Operator please
Call me back when it's time
Stolen friends and disease
Operator please
Patch me back to my mind
Oh can it be
The voices calling me
They get lost
And out of time
I should've seen a glow
But everybody knows
That a broken heart is blind
That a broken heart is blind
That a broken heart is blind
2.Oceans & Streams
Lyricist:Daniel Quine Auerbach, Patrick James Carney
With guilt that no man should carry
Heavy enough for me to get buried
I see death on the road tonight
It's got me to where I wanna run and hide
Oh, I used to dream of oceans and streams
Flowing and growing strong
Where have all those days gone?
These days I'm so slow
All those thoughts and nowhere to go
My aim it used to be so true
My world had a place in it darling just for you
Oh, I used to dream of oceans and streams
Flowing and growing strong
Where have all those days gone?
Excuse me now I gotta go
Can't stand to be here anymore, no
I'm sick and I gotta go to bed
If I stay now I'm better off dead
Oh, I used to dream of oceans and streams
Flowing and growing strong
Where have all those days gone?
3.So He Won't Break
Lyricist:Daniel Quine Auerbach, Patrick James Carney
Gone like the wind
And the state it put him in
To hold his head high
When he really wanna die
And you know the difference it makes
And you know all that he thinks
Is love, so he won't break
He won't break
He's crazy from the pain
And can't get hurt again
And if he ever falls
I'd be sorry for us all
And you know the difference it makes
And you know all that he thinks
Is love, so he won't break
He won't break, won't break, he won't break
Right around the way
Is where they go to pay
Remedies and pills
To ease their ills
And you know the difference it makes
And you know all that he thinks
Is love, so he won't break
He won't break, won't break, he won't break
4.'She Said, She Said'
Lyricist:John Lennon, Paul Mccartney
She said, 'I know what it's like to be dead
I know what it is to be sad'
And she's making me feel like I never was born
I said, 'Who put all those things in your head?
Things that make me feel like I'm mad
And you're making me feel like I never was born'
She said, 'You don't understand what I've said'
I said, 'No, no, no you're wrong, when I was a boy
Everything was right
Everything was right'
I said, 'Even though you know what you know
I know that I'm ready to leave
'Cause you're makin' me feel like I never was born'
She said
She said
She said
She said
5.If You See Me
Lyricist:Daniel Auerbach, Patrick Carney
If you see me comin'
Open up your door
If you see me comin'
Open up your door
I'll give you more lovin'
Than any man before
When I hit your door
Better treat me right
When I hit your door
Better treat me right
Oh, I need you, baby
Got no time to
I'll do for you
I'm gonna do for you
If you do for me
I'm gonna do for you
I'll be your man
If you ask me
6.The Wicked Messenger
Lyricist:Bob Dylan
There was a wicked messenger
From Eli he did come
With a mind that multiplied the smallest matter
When questioned who had sent for him
He answered with his thumb
For his tongue it could not speak but only flatter
He stayed behind the assembly hall
It was there he made his bed
And oftentimes he could be seen returnin'
Until one day he just appeared
With a note in his hand that read
The soles of my feet, I swear they're burnin'
Oh, the leaves began to fall
The seas began to part
And the people that confronted him were many
And he was told but these few words
Which opened up his heart
If you cannot bring good news don't bring any
7.No Trust
Lyricist:Daniel Auerbach, Patrick Carney
She wanna get out of the car, in the middle of the road
And her screaming and hollerin', is getting mighty old
She check every paper, oh when you step out the room
Ain't go no trust in your mama
Ain't got no trust in your daddy
Ain't got no trust in your sister
And she ain't got trust in you
She want a simple life, she need a simple man
That don't drink or smoke darlin', play in a rock and roll band
Oh but she want you to hold her at night when she's lonely and
blue, yeah
Ain't go no trust in your mama
Ain't got no trust in your daddy
Ain't got no trust in your sister
And she ain't got trust in you
Yeah she's a beautiful gal, yeah when she wanna be
But if you told her so darlin', she'd just disagree
Oh, she hates your job and what you want him to do
Ain't go no trust in your mama
Ain't got no trust in your daddy
Ain't got no trust in your sister
And she ain't got trust in you
8.Midnight In Her Eyes
Lyricist:Daniel Auerbach, Patrick Carney
Midnight is in her eyes
Tear drops like a child
You never thought about goin' wrong
Now you wonder where your man has gone
Midnight is in her eyes
Lately you're feeling low
Heartache on the floor
Your manic ways have got the best of you
But your heart is gonna see you through
Lately you're feeling low
I see her everywhere
Long amber hair
Calling out my name
I'm calling just the same
Midnight is in her eyes
Tear drops like a child
You never thought about goin' wrong
Now you wonder where your man has gone
Midnight is in her eyes
Is in her eyes
Is in her eyes
Is in her eyes
9.I Cry Alone
Lyricist:Daniel Auerbach, Patrick Carney
My girl, my girl had a hold on me
So tight, so tight that I could not see
Girl, she had a hold on me
She held so tight that I could not see
My girl, my girl had a hold on me
One day, one day I let her go
It hurt, it hurt so, you'll never know
The day I had to let her go
It hurt so bad that you cannot know
One day, one day I let her go
At night, at night I cry alone
I weep, I weep 'til the early morn'
At night, night I cry alone
I weep all night, 'til the early morn'
At night, at night I cry alone
10.Hold Me In Your Arms
Lyricist:Daniel Auerbach, Patrick Carney
Well, I need you, need you by my side
Lonely evenin', eyes are open wide
Nothin' you say could make me turn my back
Well, I see you and you see me too
Moon is risin', night will be here soon
Follow me and lay down in my room
Hold me, hold me in your arms
Well, now heal me, heal me with your touch
Your touch keeps me hangin' on
11.Hurt Like Mine
Lyricist:Daniel Auerbach, Patrick James Carney
How you hurt me
Oh, how you cause me pain
Well hurt like mine you could
You could never, never understand
Never understand

River town is burnin', the clouds they roll on by
Roll on by
She said, 'I'm alright if you're hangin' on'
Be your shoulder, lay your troubles on
Your troubles on
12.Set You Free
Lyricist:Daniel Auerbach, Patrick Carney
You hold on to love that's gone
Run a mile to see him smile
But you don't know he's door to door
Playin' you for the fool
Let him go
Walk out your door
And come to me
I'm gonna set you free
Now you know, there you go
Back to him, he's gonna do you in
Tear you down and run you 'round
Treat you wrong and then you're gone
Let him go
Walk out your door
And come to me
I'm gonna set you free
You hold on to love that's gone
Run a mile to see him smile
But you don't know he's door to door
Playin' you for the fool
Let him go
Walk out your door
And come to me
I'm gonna set you free
I'll set you free
I'll set you free
I'll set you, I'll set you free
I'll set you free
13.Hard Row
Lyricist:Chuck Auerbach, Daniel Auerbach, Patrick Carney
If you wanna go and leave your man
Go on, I'll understand
But then the night gets dark, all is still
Pray for me, I know you will
Hard row to hoe all by yourself
We hit the city and it swallow you whole
You got no friends darlin' to satisfy your soul
And then the sidewalk ends, lights all red
You say it yourself, better off dead
Hard row to hoe all by yourself
Walk out on me, walk out on him
You need no man to do you in
But if the night gets dark, all is still
I'll pray for you, you know I will
Hard row to hoe all by yourself
All by yourself, all by yourself, all by yourself
14.Thickfreakness
Lyricist:Daniel Auerbach, Patrick Carney
Here I am
I'm not here now, no, no, no
And I'll care for you
Hey, that's all I want to do

And I'll whisper in your ear
I'll take your hand
I will make me understand
Hold me, love me, in your heart
15.Just A Little Heat
Lyricist:Dan Auerbach, Patrick Carney
Just a little heat
From now on, it's a cold day
You know it would take
My worry away, worry away
Shake my hand, can't let go
No matter what you said
'Cause I already know
Believe in this place
'Cause you, you got it written
All over your face
Why can't trouble find a new friend?
'Cause this can't be the way
For the story to end, oh no
Shake my hand now, I can't let go
No matter what you said
'Cause I already know
Believe in this place
'Cause you, you got it written
All over your face
16.Elevator
Lyricist:Dan Auerbach, Patrick Carney
In the elevator, I pick my floor
In the elevator, I pick my floor
Every time, every time
I was blind for a time, now fine
The choice is mine
When I get sea sick on dry land
When I hear voices saying, 'Do what you can'
All the time, every time
Oh
I was blind for a time, now fine
The choice is mine
All the time, every time
Oh
I was blind for a time, now fine
The choice is mine, the choice is mine
Oh, the choice is mine, oh
17.You're The One
Lyricist:Dan Auerbach, Patrick Carney
When I was 13
My mom said
â½Son, you're the one I adoreâ

Be the one I adore, oh
You're the one I adore

19.Goodbye Babylon
Lyricist:Dan Auerbach, Patrick Carney
Well I came to see
And what I found was not alright with me
Their desperation, some vocation
And it'd been the same thing all along
Goodbye Babylon
Goodbye Babylon
Goodbye Babylon
Now I know times are changin'
And the people need rearrangin'
So now, it's written here in song
Goodbye Babylon
Goodbye Babylon
Goodbye Babylon, goodbye
Now our boys, the fallen
Our leaders are all appallin'
And you can bet by God
Goodwill is gone
Goodbye Babylon
Goodbye Babylon
Oh, goodbye Babylon
Goodbye Babylon
20.Modern Times
Lyricist:Dan Auerbach, Patrick Carney
Gonna get to it tomorrow, but they don't care at call
They're gonna ease your pain and sorrow
But we heard the same before
All my loving friends taking nothin' home
And I can't be the one to let trouble come
All their homes are broken and what are they gonna do
There's no magic potion, their lying days are through
Love and lust go hand in hand
Everything turned to dust in our promised land
Take away the chain and watch your past go by
While your lies are red, leave me alone to cry
In these modern times
Gonna scream it on a mountain to every valley wide
It's all your money they're counting and to your face they lie
Put on your work boots, Momma, in your morning gown
Tell me day-to-day, they're already in the ground
See the way they explain, watch your past go by
Would you die for it, leave me alone to cry
In these modern times
In these modern times
In these modern times
21.The Deperate Man
Lyricist:Daniel Auerbach, Patrick Carney
See her walkin' with a fella
Two of them so nice and mellow
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
My heart is broken, open wide
Feel so down, deep inside
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Summer slipped by and still it's fall
Wonder what she dumped me for
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
I'm too far down the deepest ditch
To far gone to ever switch
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Drivin' on now without a care
Hope to catch you standin' there
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Don't forsake a desperate man
Hope you know that's who am
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
22.Just Got To Be
Lyricist:Dan Auerbach, Patrick Carney
When it come to pride
And other sinful matters
You're gonna be misled
Left feared and tattered
I got to go because
Some thing's on my mind
And it wont get better
No matter how hard I try
Whoa, yeah
You just got to be
The best man for me
Evil hides in dark places
But now I find it in familiar faces
I got to go because
Some thing's on my mind
And it won't get better
No matter how hard I try
Whoa, yeah
You just got to be
The best thing for me
23.Give Your Heart Away
Lyricist:Dan Auerbach, Patrick Carney
Follow you down, hold your hand
Make you realize I'm the only man
Who got to win and the way
To be the one, to give my heart away
Lady love, when you lay in the bed
There are men who will live your dismay
And be the one to give their heart away
I'm long gone in other space
And no one here will gonna take my place
So bye-bye, baby, I'm gone away
And no one there will give their heart away
24.The Flame
Lyricist:Dan Auerbach, Patrick Carney
Out of all the things you've ever done
This time I can't go back
When a heart gets broke this many times
It's easy to lose track
Takin' all this pain
And you know I can't regain
The flame, oh, the flame
Like a dreamer needs
Time with you so unreal
Baby, and all our life
Love for me is what you feel
Takin' all this pain
And you know I can't regain
The flame, oh
Greater men have made it here
Only to turn back
So cut me loose if you want
Or tighten up the slack
Takin' all this pain
And you know we can't regain
The flame, oh, the flame
25.Strange Desire
Lyricist:Dan Auerbach, Patrick Carney
I don't wanna go to hell
But, if I do, it'll be 'cause of you
Any young man gonna make mistakes
Till he hits the brakes
My heart's on fire
With a strange desire
All those birds on the wire
Are gonna say, I'm a liar
But, we all know, in the end
They never were my friends
My heart's on fire
With a strange desire
26.No Fun
Lyricist:David Alexander, Ronald Asheton, Scott Asheton, James
Osterberg
Yeah
No fun, my baby, no fun
No fun, my baby, no fun
No fun to hang around
Feelin' that same old way
No fun to hand around
Freaked out for another day
No fun, my baby, no fun
No fun, my baby, baby, no fun
No fun to be alone
Walkin' by myself
No fun to be alone
In love with nobody else
Maybe go out, maybe stay home
Maybe call my mom
On the telephone, come on
No fun, no fun to be alone
No fun to be alone
No fun to be alone
Lone, lone, lone, lone, lone
To be alone
No fun to be alone
No fun to be alone
27.Chop & Change
Lyricist:Daniel Auerbach, Patrick Carney
An innocent child in New Orleans
A simple girl from simple means
Walked the rails, rode her thumb
She hitched a ride with everyone
The regular
She'd rearrange
The girl knew how
To chop and change
Chop and change
Chop and change
Chop and change
Chop and change
Took a job, working late
Jacking cars from out of state
She found no love in this town
So she'd never mess around
Had no luck
But ain't it strange
The girl knew how
To chop and change
Chop and change
Chop and change
Chop and change
Chop and change

Lyricist:Don Van Vliet
Yeah, her eyes, oh, her eyes
Her eyes are a blue million miles
Yeah, her eyes, oh, her eyes
Her eyes are a blue million miles
I look at her and she looks at me
In her eyes I see the sea
I can't see what she sees in a man like me
Her eyes, her eyes
Her eyes are a blue million miles
Yeah, her eyes, oh, her eyes
Her eyes are a blue million miles
I look at her and she looks at me
In her eyes I see the sea

30.Too Afraid To Love You
My gears, they grind more each day*
And I feel like they're gonna grind away
The city blocks, they drive my wild
The never-ending mile after mile
I just don't know what to do
I'm too afraid to love you
Heaven on earth, it's in her embrace
A gentle touch and a smiling face
I'm just one wishing that I was a pair
With someone oh somewhere
I just don't know what to do
I'm too afraid to love you
All those sleepless nights
And all those wasted days
I wish loneliness would leave me
But I think it's here to stay
What more can I do?
Cause I'm wringing myself dry
And I can't afford to lose one more tear drop from my eye
Too afraid
I'm too afraid
Just don't know what to do
With myself
Thinking all about you
Don't know what to do
Don't know what to do
Driving me out of my mind
31.Everlasting Light
Lyricist:Daniel Auerbach, Patrick Carney
Let me be your everlasting light
Your sun when there is none
I'm a shepherd for you
And I'll guide you through
Let me be your everlasting light
Let me be your everlasting light
Your home when there is cold
In me you can confide
When no one's by your side
Let me be your everlasting light
Oh baby, can't you see
It's shining just for you
Loneliness is over
Dark days are through
They're through
Let me be your everlasting light
Your train going away from pain
Love is the coal that makes this train roll
Let me be your everlasting light
Yeah, let me be your everlasting light
Let me be your everlasting light
Be your everlasting light

Well the road it overtook me to the point where I was blind
My body was weak but not as much as my mind, oh my mind
I just can't get, can't get my fill of those hills, oh but still
No matter where I am in this land I feel alone, when I'm not at
home
Whoa-oh-whoa-oh-whoa-oh-whoa-oh-whoa-Ohio! Hiyo!
Whoa-oh-whoa-oh-whoa-oh-whoa-oh whoa-Ohio! Hiyo!

Whoa-oh-whoa-oh-whoa-oh-whoa-oh whoa-Ohio! Hiyo!
So if you, if you see me hunkered down in your town
I'm just watchin' the clock on the wall
'Til I can go to the place I love most of all
Radiate- just wait to die
Break your back and never, never wonder why
Get me home before I, 'fore I lose my mind
I need some space to let my, my tape rewind
Whoa-oh-whoa-oh-whoa-oh-whoa-oh-whoa-Ohio! Hiyo!
Whoa-oh-whoa-oh-whoa-oh-whoa-oh whoa-Ohio! Hiyo!
