Thems Were Happy Times
03:22
|
|||
|
We were flying instead of walking
And that smile on your face
Blurred with the sky
I said I was happy
You weren't mad at me
It's a good thing to know before I die
There are some sweet things
I still can recall
We made love
Had a ball
Thems were happy times
I can't forget them
Can't forget them if I tried
Thems were happy times
I wanna hold on to
I don't want them to be denied
We made love in the bathroom
We did it right there in your dorm
You had this look
Just tore me up
Blew me away with its storm
There are some strange things
That make me wince
I haven't let them go ever since
Remember that club in West Hollywood
They played soul records and we got down
Then we'd go to Gorky's
And have an omelet
After midnight in that midnight town
We drove on home
Listen to Joe Frank
So many happy things
I have to thank

Two Halves of a Whole
04:03
|

|
You got me and I got you
That’s all there is and always shall be
You’re in my heart and I am in your soul
This is real not some fantasy
La-la-la love you
It is you and it is me
Two bodies, one soul
It is you and it is me
Two halves of a whole
You're my buddy and I am yours
I know your quirks and you know my flaws
I am your friend and you are mine
We are each other's Santa Claus
La-la-la love you
You complete me and I complete you
You are my yin and I am your yang
Together we form a perfect whole
We got more power than the Big Bang
La-la-la love you

Never Be Alone
04:27
|
|||
|
There is something here
Lurking in the corner
Don't know its face
Don't know its name
It is calling me
No one can hear it
Come over here
And I will set you free
Never be alone, ever be alone
Never be alone when we’re around
Never be alone, ever be alone
You and me forever bound
I feel its presence
Can't deny it
It's always been here
And it always will be
It has no color
No specific shape
No telltale smell
Just a weird, weird feel
Should I be worried
Should I be concerned
Should call the cops and lock my doors
Should I be nervous
Should I freak out
Should I get down on all fours
It’s kind of annoying
This is no way to live a life
Gotta be vigilant
Not drop my guard
You never can tell
What’s just around the corner
Just because I’m paranoid
Doesn’t mean they aren’t out for me

What Became of Me
04:49
|
|||
|
Here is the story as plain as I can make it
I’m just telling it like it is
I spent my life pursuing some kind of truth
Drawing my own analyses
But what did it get me
A whole bunch of grief
And there ain’t nothing
Gonna give me relief
And if you ask what became of me
It was mostly all nitty gritty
If you ask what became of me
Let me tell you it ain’t pretty
Here is the place that I have got to
And it’s nothing I ever really wanted
It is ugly, it feels like bad touch
It’s dark as pitch and looks kinda haunted
You can think
That should I be grateful
But what I see
Is fucking hateful
Here is the world that I live in
It’s a dark place bereft of hope
There ain’t no light
No sunny tomorrow
Just a noose at the end of a rope
Not talking metaphor
I mean it literally
One day I was here
Then it was the end of me

Make It Real
04:28
|
|||
|
You can call it what you want
You can tells it like you sees it
Believe what you choose
But that don’t guarantees it
You can act so self-assured
You can think just what you want
For what it’s all worth
Like a know-it-all savant
Does it make it real
Does it make it real
What you are and how you feel
You and your unbendable nerves of steel
Does it make it real
You can think you know the truth
Every question has an answer
Get down to the deepest depths
And weed out the cancer
You can line up all your theories
And dispense them one-two-three
I sit back in awe
And drink in your belle esprit
You can pull out all the stops
And wow me with your wisdom
Show me the error of my ways
Like who and what I am is dumb
You can do all this and more
You can shine like a beacon
All the while I decompress
And my soul it does weaken

My Buddy
04:00

|
You're the one I can turn to
When everyone else is gone
You are the one who hears me
The only one I can count on
You're my buddy
You're my good time Sal
You're my buddy
You're my buddy and pal
You're my buddy
You're the one who knows me
In the good times and the bad
You are the one who stuck by me
When I been happy and sad
I can't thank you enough
My dear old friend
I know you will there for me
Until the brutal end
You're the one who listens
Instead of dispensing advice
You are the one gives a shit
It's nice to be nice to the nice

Lost in This Moment

Baby get lost in this moment
Burning bright in the night sky
We could get lost in this moment
Coming alive in the night time
And oh no close your eyes
Let it all go
Body and mind
Burning bright in the dark sky
And oh no close your eyes
Let it all go
Body and mind
It coming alive in the night sky
Let it all go
Body and mind
Burning bright in the dark sky
And oh no close your eyes
Let it all go
Body and mind
Burning bright in the dark sky
And oh no close your eyes
Let it all go
Body and mind
It coming alive in the night sky

I can't fake it you took my heart
I can't stand it another day
I can't wait till you're back to stay

Answer Man
03:37

Whatever you think you know
He knows better
He's that much smarter than you and me
He's studied math
He's studied medicine
He's studied advanced astrology
He's got the answer
He's got the answer
He's got the answer, man
You can beseech him
Tell him your problems
But he don't listen 'cause he already knows
He's seen it all
A world of wisdom
Don't need a weathervane
To know which way the wind blows
Does he look down is nose
Is he condescending
Well maybe he is just a little tiny bit
But admittedly he knows best
And you and me
We don't know shit
We don't know shit
He's taken courses
In naturopathy
Now he's a doctor of holistic arts
Don't try to question it
Don't refuse his treatment
He's the only one with all the smarts

Amok Time
05:55
|
|||

Can keep track of where these days are headed
Like everything else they seem to be getting away from me
Can’t hold on to nothing and nothing’s holding me up
I’m blinking on and off like lights on a funky Christmas tree
And then again today’s the day
And those were the days
And now these are the days
And where is it all going
Grab your partner
And hold on tight
Just got to make it through one more night
Amok time
Got no good ideas and I’m clean out of imagination
The cupboard is bare and cobwebs are all stringy
There is dust everywhere and my beard is unruly
And whole wide world is being run by a fiendish thingy
Can’t contain all the rage that I am feeling
I always feel as if I’m on the verge of exploding
The suns spins around the sky like a dervish
And black clouds move in with foreboding

While You Could
05:07
|

|
It’s not the end
It might surprise you
A little time will tell
My heavy head has taken over
With everything you said
Whenever the memory
Hits you in the heart
Whenever the walls come down
Somewhere inside you
Find a piece of me
While you could, while you could
I’m disappointed
When all is said and done
It’s me you’ve broken
I’m all in ruins
And you don’t shed a tear
Whenever the memory
Hits you in the heart
Whenever the walls come down
Somewhere inside you
Regrets you didn’t love me
While you could, while you could
Whenever the walls come down
Somewhere inside you
Find a piece of me
Find a piece of me
Somewhere inside you
Find a piece of me
Regrets you didn’t love me
While you could
Regrets you didn’t love me
While you could

Lonesome Road
05:01

Lift your head and take a look at me
I'm standing right here in front of you
I bet you're ready to give it all up
But that's not something I will let you do
Come with me let's wander down
This lonesome road
It's always best to have yourself a friend
Come with me let's wander down
This lonesome road
And we, we will take it to the end
Don't you fret and don't you worry
You will never ever, ever be alone
I know you've taken on the weight of the world
Let me there to hold that millstone
Let us walk this lonesome road
Together we can lift that stone
Let us walk this lonesome road
Together we are not alone
No need to tell me how bad it is
I can understand what you are going through
I've been to heaven and I've been to hell
I can see it all from your point of view
