1.Bes' Friends
Well I've heard about the quarrels, and how it always ends
And how a couple loses edge and never make amends
And how they weave a false cocoon and how the web extends
But I've never heard of lovers that could be best friends
Yes I've heard that love that's lasting comes far and in between
And how that childhood sweetheart gets ornery and mean
They always say the honeymoon is where the romance ends
But I've never heard of lovers that can be best friends
Well I've heard your dirty stories about your last affair
And how you got in houses when you knew no one was there
If you want to find a lover gonna love til the end,
Go on and find yourself a lover that can be your best friend
2.Voodoo In My Basement
Voodoo in my basement, you'll know that it's true
All my dirty little people are gonna have some fun with you
I could smile like diamonds and be as harmless as a shmoo
I'll use the voodoo in my basement if I set my mind on you
If you wanna know, know you wanna ask for one embrace
If I can I'll drop, drop a can o'gasoline in your face
If I rob and steal your presents I'll get them back before I go
It may look like holy giving but it's the devil in my soul
I got a banshee on my back porch and she plays with magic pearls
My father was a warlock and his son eats little girls
Voodoo in my basement, you'll know that it's true
All my dirty little people are gonna have some fun with you
3.Darlin' Companion

Darlin'Companion
I'll tell the mountains and the canyons
As long as I got legs to stand on
I'm gonna run to you
Mmm, a flossy mare like you should have a steed
Mmm, a little bridlin'down with me is what you need
Darlin'Companion
Come on and give me understandin'

4.Henry Thomas
My cat dragged it
Through the door one fine morn
In its back ears hung
Forty pounds of feet and tongue
Ooh wee, my dear Henry
Dig the dog the cat dragged in
Ohh wee, my dear Henry
Dig the dog the cat dragged in
Can't fight, won't bite
Has bugs, eats rugs
Smells flowers, sleep hours
Growing like a dinosaur
5.Rain On The Roof
You and me and rain on the roof,
Caught up in a summer shower,
Drying while it soaks the flowers.
Maybe we'll be caught for hours,
Waiting out the sun.
You and me, we're gathered away
Deep in conversation, sitting in the hay.
Honey, how long was I laughing in the rain with you？
Cause I didn't feel a drop til the thunder brought us to.
You and me underneath a roof of tin.
Pretty comfy feeling, how the rain ain't leaking in.
We can sit and dry just as long as it can pour.
Cause the way it makes you look makes me hope it rains some
more.
You and me and rain on the roof,
Caught up in a summer shower.
Drying while it soaks the flowers
Maybe we'll be caught for hours,
Waiting out the sun.
6.Coconut Grove
It's really true how nothin' matters.
No mad, mad world and no mad hatters.
No one's pitchin' cause there ain't no batters
In coconut grove.
Don't bar the door
There's no one comin'.
The ocean's roar will bar the drummin'
of any city thoughts and city ways.
The ocean breezes cool my mind,
The salty days are her's and mine
Just to do what we wanna.
Tonight we'll find a dune that's ours
And softly we will see the stars
Until sun up.
It's really true how nothin' matters.
No mad, mad world and no mad hatters.
No one's pitchin' cause there ain't no batters
In coconut grove.
7.Nashville Cats
Nashville Cats, play clean as country water
Nashville Cats, play wild as mountain dew
Nashville Cats, been playin' since they's babies
Nashville Cats, get work before they're two
Well, there's thirteen hundred and fifty two
Guitar pickers in Nashville
And they can pick more notes than the number of ants
On a Tennessee anthill
Yeah, there's thirteen hundred and fifty two
Guitar cases in Nashville
And any one that unpacks 'is guitar could play
Twice as better than I will
Yeah, I was just thirteen, you might say I was a
Musical proverbial knee-high
When I heard a couple new-sounding tunes on the tubes
And they blasted me sky-high
And the record man said every one is a Yellow Sun
Record from Nashville
And up North there ain't nobody buys them
And I said, 'But I will'
And it was
Nashville Cats, play clean as country water
Nashville Cats, play wild as mountain dew
Nashville Cats, been playin' since they's babies
Nashville Cats, get work before they're two
Well, there's sixteen thousand eight hundred 'n' twenty one
Mothers from Nashville
All their friends play music, and they ain't uptight
If one of the kids will
Because it's custom made for any mother's son
To be a guitar picker in Nashville
And I sure am glad I got a chance to say a word about
The music and the mothers from Nashville
Nashville Cats, play clean as country water
Nashville Cats, play wild as mountain dew
Nashville Cats, been playin' since they's babies
Nashville Cats, get work before they're two
Pick it
8.4 Eyes
For eyes, what you gonna do now
Fore eyes, and how much do you see now
How many fingers, ha ha ha
When your kids that see through plastic
with a harness of elastic
So the girls all think you're icky
And the boys all think you're queer
Then the hinges all get rusty
And the seventh pair gets busted
So you graduate to tortoise
Shell that makes you look severe
When you're so blind they call you Batman
You can't even see a fat man
You can't dig just where he's at man
Without windows on your eyes
But the frames ain't your decision
And they're fitted with precision
And they magnify your eyes like they're a pair of cherry pies
Here's a word to all you parents
Give a break to little Clarence
When he says the blackboard's fadin'
And the world's a fuzzy place
Mister up in middle classes
And please recall that after all he
wears them on his face
9.Summer In The City
Hot town, summer in the city
Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty
Been down, isn't it a pity？
Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city
All around, people looking half dead
Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head
But at night it's a different world
Go out and find a girl
Come on, come on and dance all night
Despite the heat it'll be alright
And babe, don't you know it's a pity
That the days can't be like the nights
In the summer, in the city
In the summer, in the city
Cool town, evening in the city
Dressing so fine and looking so pretty
Cool cat, looking for a kitty
Gonna look in every corner of the city
Till I'm wheezing like a bus stop
Running up the stairs, gonna meet you on the rooftop
But at night, it's a different world
Go out and find a girl
Come on, come on and dance all night
Despite the heat, it'll be alright
And babe, don't you know it's a pity
That the days can't be like the nights
In the summer, in the city
In the summer, in the city
Hot town, summer in the city
Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty
Been down, isn't it a pity？
Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city
All around, people looking half dead
Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head
But at night, it's a different world
Go out and find a girl
Come on, come on and dance all night
Despite the heat, it'll be alright
And babe, don't you know it's a pity
That the days can't be like the nights
In the summer, in the city
In the summer, in the city
10.Lovin' You
If you are wond'rin' what I'm gonna do
While you are sleepin', am I sleepin' too？
Well, I'm just sittin' here lovin' you
Close my eyes and lovin' you
I'm just sittin' back, sittin' here lovin' you
I have been wond'rin' just what I would do
If I'd weren't sleepin', had I not found you
I'd be outside findin' you
Walkin' on the avenues findin' you
But I'm just sittin' back, sittin' here lovin' you
Now the reasons never see me runnin' 'round
Fingers on my forehead to calm me down
She can even get me up and on my feet
And when I die to take care of some business on the street
I have been walkin' all my streets along
I would keep walkin' to keep from goin' home
I couldn't quite till I could see you
Now I can't see me ever leavin' you
'Cause I'm just sittin' back lovin' you
Lovin' you, lovin' you, lovin' you
If you are wond'rin' what I'm gonna do
While you are sleepin', am I sleepin' too？
Well, I'm just sittin' here lovin' you
Close my eyes and lovin' you
'Cause I'm just sittin' here lovin' you, lovin' you, lovin' you
11.Full Measure
The full measure of your giving
You don't yet understand.
A cupful of living
That you hold in your hand.
The full weight of your loving
Makes me lighter than air.
The tax I'm receiving,
Now I know that it never was there.
It started off just sticking around
With that wonderful feeling from you.
Now there's finally someone telling me
I can really give, too.
I know you know the feeling
That getting something for nothing is wrong.
Getting love is so easy,
Giving love takes so long.
It started off just stickin' around
With that wonderful feeling from you.
Now there's finally someone telling me
I can really give, too.
I've heard them saying at Christmas,
Now I can say it to you：
The feeling of giving
It's as good as im getting from you,
It's as good as im getting from you,
It's as good as im getting from you,
It's as good as I'm getting from you.
