Animals
04:39
|

‘been tryin’ to be a good man
‘been tryin’ to be the best form of higher primate that I can
They say we’re animals
Sometimes I’m not so sure
Would an animal tend to take more than his share
And turn that clear blue sky into a smoky blur?
Oh, animals take what they need, when they need it,
and animals do what they have to, when they have to
We’re not animals...
Well, I’ve been watchin’ politicians
I’ve been listenin’ to the Pope
So many people out there dyin’ of complacency, an’
Hopin’ all you need is hope
And while I know we are among those many moving creatures
That hath life
Sometimes I think we’d show a little more compassion
To our brothers, our sisters, and our wife
Oh, animals do what they want to, when they want to,
and animals say what’s on their mind, if they say anything at all
We’re not animals...
Yesterday we was discussin’
This silly little thing that we have
You reminded me ‘we’re animals,’ and said I ought to feel glad
But sometimes I think that if I truly was a child of the wild
I would not wait around
I’d kick down your door, grab you by the hair, and
Lay you right there on the warm bare ground, 'cause
Animals do what they want to, when they want to, and
Animals do what they feel like, if they feel like, when they feel like, and
Animals go where they wanna go, any time they feel like goin’ and
Animals say what’s on their mind, if they say anything at all...

Stormy Inside
03:01
|
|||
It’s gettin’ stormy inside
I’m starin’ the hurricane square in the eye
Under a doorway I’m heavin’ a sigh
Hopin’ that she’ll blow over in time
It’s about an hour before sunrise
The sky’s got that smoky red thing goin’ on
I just got home
Looks like I might be headin’ right back out again
It’s gettin’ stormy inside
I’m starin’ the hurricane square in the eye
Under a doorway I’m heavin’ a sigh
Hopin’ that she’ll blow over in time
I guess I’m gonna try to cook breakfast
‘Cuz you know I know just how she likes her eggs scrambled
I’m gonna have to go into town for some eggs or some somethin'
But right now I’m not sure if I can get away
It’s gettin’ stormy inside
And I’m starin’ the hurricane square in the eye
Under a doorway, heavin' a sigh
Hopin’ that she’ll blow over in time
I said it’s gettin’ stormy inside
And I’m starin’ the hurricane right square in the eye
I’m under a doorway, heavin’ a sigh
Hopin’ that she’ll blow over in time
She’ll blow over
She’ll blow over
She’ll blow over in time
She’ll blow over
She’ll blow over
She’ll blow over in time

As You Please
05:00
|
|||
Take me for granted, and I will you
My feet are planted right next to you
Take me to the ocean, take me up to the trees
Woman I’m yours to do with as you please
The breeze is blowin’ through the window by your bed
Runnin’ my fingers through the hair on your head
I’m pretty sure you’re sleeping, though reacting to my touch
And I’m thinkin’ how I never loved anybody this much
So take me for granted, and I will you
My feet are planted right here next to you
Take me to the mountains, take me out to the seas
Woman I’m yours to do with as you please
I'm gonna fix you breakfast, and I’ll bring it to your room
Maybe I'll sit down and I'll play a little tune for ‘ya
'Cuz I want to tell ya that I'm as happy as can be...
And I'll wrap that promise in a little melody
Take me for granted, and I will you
My feet are planted right here next to you
Take me to the mountains, take me up to the trees
Woman I’m yours to do with as you please
Yeah, take me for granted, and I will you
My feet are planted right next to you
Take me to the ocean, take me over the seas
Woman I’m yours to do with as you please
As you please
As you please
As you please

04:17
|
|||
Tell me, what's your name?
Tell me, where you're from?
Tell me, what da ya do?
Tell me where you live
Tell me, what's your number?
And could I pick you up at two?
Tell me what you think
Tell me what you drink
And tell me, what's your point of view?
Tell me what you've heard
Tell me what they say
Did I get a good review?
Well, if they tell you I'm lazy
I must admit, it's probly true
But if they say that I am crazy
Well, that's just since I met you...
So, tell me how am I doin'?
And would your mother like me?
And is there anything I can do?
Could I get you ice cream?
Can I take you home?
Could I cook you breakfast too?
And so I picked you a daisy
That was supposed to be a rose
My mind is just a little hazy
I've got no feeling in my toes
So, did they tell you I'm lazy?
Did they say I'm gonna give ya the blues?
Well, If you're worried that I might be crazy
ust give me a chance and I will prove it to you
So tell me, whatcha say?
Yeh, tell me, hey, hey, hey
Tell me, doo doo doo
Tell me, whadya know?
Tell me, whoa whoa whoa
Tell me, woo hoo hooooooo
Tell me, woo hoo hooooooo
Tell me, woo woo woo

Why am I livin' a lie with you?
Why do I say the things I do?
And why am I leadin' you on?
Why can't I just tell you the truth?
You see it's been a long time since I've been home
How unaccustomed I have grown
And 'til I realize that I'm gone
Well I kinda wanna be alone
I don't wanna love anybody Ë right now
I don't wanna love anybody right now
I wanna put it nicely but I don't know how
I don't wanna love anybody right now
There's somethin' missin' I feel it too
And I know that I could find it in you
But I don't have the time, the energy, the money to do it right
Something else is gonna have to get me through, because
I don't wanna love anybody right now
I don't wanna love anybody right now
I wish I knew a better way to put it but I don’t know how
I don't wanna love anybody right now
Not right now
Not right now
No, not right now
Not right now

Cut Flowers
03:37
|
|||
Rough weather don’t trouble me
Cut flowers kinda do
It ain’t because I’ve got an allergy
And they don’t make me blue
But cut flowers coulda been somebody
They coulda gone somewhere
Instead we pick ‘em one by one by one
And stick ‘em in our hair
Don’t get me wrong, you know I like that look
Naturally.....
I’ve got some flowers pressin’ in my book
Crumblin’ slowly
I had some cut flowers on my wedding day
I’ll have ‘em by my deathbed, too
Shrivelling eventually
Just like me and you
I’ve seen some....
Cut flowers in the waiting room.
Cut flowers in the month of June
Cut flowers in a Chinese vase. I’ll bet they had some...
Cut flowers in the Wizard of Oz. Look at the...
Cut flowers bloomin’ in the shade.
Cut flowers in the Rose parade....
Cut flowers they tickle my nose
Cut flowers And a rose is a rose is a rose
Cut flowers
Cut flowers
Cut flowers
Cut flowers
Cut.

Road of Love
03:22
|
|||
Bumpy, bumpy is that road of love
Rockin’ and rollin’ you until you’ve had enough
Better get directions ‘cuz it might get rough
Out along that road of love
I think you know somebody’s lookin’ your way
‘Cuz a box of flowers got delivered yesterday
You think you can handle it--you think you’re pretty tough
But I’d say you’re on the road of love
So, you go twistin’ down that unpredictable road
Caring and commitment make a pretty heavy load, I know...
Let’s hope it doesn’t come to pushin’ and to shove
Just because you’re on the road of love..and I said:
Bumpy, bumpy is that road of love
Rockin’ and rollin’ you ‘til you’ve had enough
You’d better get directions brother, things get rough
Out along that road of love
Just when you think you’ve put some miles behind you
You’d better guess again
‘Cuz when her heart slips through your fingers
You’re gonna have to start all over again
Well, I must admit, I think you’re doin’ pretty well
I’ve seen other people get this far and look like hell
I hope I didn’t scare ‘ya ‘bout the pain and all that stuff
It’s just the ruts along the road of love
Oh, bumpy, bumpy is that road of love
Rockin’ and rollin’ you ‘til you’ve had enough
Better get directions ‘cuz it might get rough
Out along the road of love
Out along the road of love
Out along the road of love
Out along the road of love
Out along the road of love
Out along the road of love

Windy
04:23
|
|||
It's windy outside
It's cold, But I still made the ride
To see your face again
It's blowin' real hard
I been watchin' the leaves fall in the yard
Since I can't remember when
It's gustin' up a storm
Pushin' me in somewhere where it's warm
But you're not home again
Wind chillin' my bones
But I don't really feel like goin' home
'Think I'll wait another five or ten
The wind has got me shakin'
And this old house has got me thinkin' 'bout the love we were makin'
Thinkin' 'bout the times we spent
It's really blowin' hard now
But I don't really know just what to say and how
Babe, I want you back again
It's windy outside
It's cold, But I still made the ride
To see your face again
It's blowin' real hard
I been watchin' the leaves fall in the yard
Since I can't remember when
Since I can't remember when
Since I can't remember when
Since I can't remember when

A Long Day in L.A.
04:19
|
|||
Well, I’m almost outa gas
I’m up on Sepulveda pass
I’ve got a Jaguar on my ass
I didn’t go drivin’ to get harassed
It is a long day in L.A.
But never enough time
Yes, it’s a long day in L.A.
I’ve got to find another line
You won’t hear me complainin' if it’s rainin’
That would suit me fine...
Well, I went out to the big town
I was young and fame and fortune bound
But now I’m back here on the ground
Lemme tell what I’ve found
That it’s a long day in L.A.
But never enough time
Yes, it’s a long day in L.A.
I’ve got to find another line
Should I riot, should I be quiet?
Can’t seem to make up my mind...
So, I’ve been tellin’ you ‘bout that city
Man, it’s anything but pretty
Hey, I’m feelin’ kinda witty
Do you like my little ditty??
It’s a long day in L.A.
But never enough time
Yes, it’s a long day in L.A.
I’ve got to find another line
All those chances that I’ve taken, the Earth is quakin’
Could you fix me up a bean sprout and felafel sandwich...
And could you serve me up one of those south-of-the-border Cervezas...
And could you squeeze in just a little bit of lime?
‘Cuz it’s a long day in L.A.
It’s a long day in L.A.
It’s a long day in L.A.

A Funny Thing
03:45
|
|||
A funny thing happened
On the way down here
I got this little tune in my head
And it's been runnin' in between my ears
It's nuthin' special, no
But it makes me think about you
‘n now I've got you here with me
So tell me, do you think about me too?
We've got a funny thing goin'
We love each other when we can
Ain't that just like a woman and a man?
Well, I've been thinkin' about you
Just a little more than you may know
And I don't have a thing to lose, so
I thought that I might as well say so
I just want to thank you
For all the happiness you've brought to me
So much lovin' in such a short time
And so much more that we can see
We've got a funny thing goin'
We love each other when we can
Ain't that just like a woman and a man?
Well, I know that I've been tellin' you this
For an awful long time
But I would like to spend a week together
Just to try to see if you and me rhyme
So watcha say that we go up in the hills
And try to find a place where we can sing?
'Cuz if we make a little music together
Well, I'll probly end up buyin' a ring
We've got a funny thing goin'
We love each other when we can
Ain't that just like a woman and a man?
Ain't that just like a woman and a man?
Ain't that just like a woman and a man?

Funny Bone
03:35
|
|||
Well, now when I woke up this mornin'
And I saw you wasn't there
Well, I went lookin' for your suitcase
And it wasn't anywhere
And then I found the note you left me
On the 'fridgerator door
It said "there's coffee in the cupboard
And the keys are in the door..."
Well, you could always get me laughin'
You could always get me goin'
But this time I think you broke my funny bone...
So I went in to the bathroom
For a shower and a shave
And I found someone had took
My bar of soap and my best blade
Then I went into the bedroom
To try to find myself a shirt
Pretty soon I realized
I wasn't goin' to work
My baby sho' is funny
But I'm laughin' all alone
This time I think she went and broke my funny bone
I love that lady 'cuz she keeps me in a line
That crazy woman keeps me laughin' all the time
Baby, I can tell you know I don't mind stayin' home
But why'd you have to break my funny bone?
So, I was sittin' home and scratchin'
In my day-old underwear
I couldn't find no chores to do
I couldn't even find a chair
And so I drank my cup of coffee
I had six or seven more
While I was waitin' for your call so you could
Laugh at me some more
Then I looked around and sure enough
I could not find a phone
Honey, why'd you have to break my funny bone?

‘Said you're a...sweet lovin' dancer
Won’t you let me take a look behind your scenes......

Get Along
06:09
|
|||
Well, I've spent my life
Seeking out friends
Climbing the walls of miscommunication
Jumping the fence
I've spent some years
Working through uncomfortable times
Learning about the things that break a person
Drawing crooked lines
Among all people
I know there is a way to get along
When I find out what it is I'm gonna
Have to sit and write another song
In all my time
I've met only one you
Of all the folks I've stayed with and played with
And everything that I've been through
Well, I might have settled down, now
But I'm still learning every day
Some folks don't have the knack to get along with others
But you can't let that get in your way
Among all people
I know there is a way to get along
When I find out what it is I'm gonna
Have to sit and write another song
I've got his dream where all the people are standing' in a circle
And they're all workin' together, workin' a miracle
And then I hear 'em singin, 'least I think that's what they're doin'
But I still can't seem to quite make out the tune
That's all I've got for now
But I'd be glad to sing you more
If you should happen down my little dirt road
And you should walk through my open door
We'll sit and make some music
That I have traveled far to hear
Crawl thru all the mud together
And fly right outa here
‘Cuz among all people
I am sure there is a way to get along
And when I find out what it is I'm gonna
Have to sit and write another song
Yes among all people
I am sure there is a way that we can get along
And when I find out what it is I'm gonna
Have to sit and write another song
One more song

Let It Go
04:29
|
|||
If you can't take it
Don't think you'll make it
Let it go, Let it go
If someone hurts you
Someone deserts you
Let it go, Just let it go
Let it go, let it go
Take care of things tomorrow
If you just can't get it right
If you just can't see the light
Let it go, Let it go
If things won't go your way
There will be another day
Let it go, let it go
Let it go, let it go
Take care of things tomorrow
If after all that you've tried
You still feel sick inside
Let it go, Let it go
If you can't rest at night
Well, it's just not worth the fight
Let it go, Just let it go
Let it go, let it go
Take care of things tomorrow
Let it go, let it go
Take care of things tommorrow
Let it go, let it go, let it go
Let it go, let it go, let it go
Let it go, let it go, let it go
