What do we do
Given life
We move around
Solitude
Reach for light
Rich...
Or slight...
We move around
We move around
One searches
For the sake of searching
Clearly then
Stunbling...
Falling...
Lurching...
We move...
We move around
A supurb point of reference detected
becomes absured with a moments reflection
leaves one a simple thought
not sagging with the excess weight of excess baggage
and we move around
We move around
One thinks then
...Jinks
...Then stands at a brink
Finds a key...
And stinking of revelation
...drinking in exaltation
We move...
We move...around
No need
To prove
No one around
No one
...but
You to stand your
...ground
We move around
Don't you know its all right...
...To be wrong thus you grow be amused and be strong
The acceptance of error with grace
Is to refuse to be vain and so afraid of losing face
This fear drives one further into what one thinks
To be a race of life...or death
Or simply take another breath
Of nature's...air now...
Which is fair now...
Which is to be alive
To move
I've got to run to keep from hiding
And I'm bound to keep on riding
And I've got one more silver dollar
But I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no
Not gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider
I don't own the clothes I'm wearing
And the road goes on forever
And I've got one more silver dollar
But I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no
Not gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider
I've gone by the point of caring
Some old bed I'll soon be sharing
And I've got one more silver dollar
But I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no
Not gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider
No, I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no
Not gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider
No, I'm not gonna let 'em catch me no

Can I get through to you now
Can I Marianne
What are you trying to do now
Come on Marianne
Ain't no use in conversation
Poor little girl you're outta this world Marianne
Everyone seems to think you're too much Marianne
Everyone seems to think they know you Marianne
Why you don't even know yourself
Poor little girl you're out of this world Marianne
Wake up Marianne
Ooo I can tell
You're a sweet little heart breaker Marianne
Don't mind me,
But I think I'll see you later Marianne
Don't you go flip out, trip out, skip out
Poor little girl you're outta this world Marianne
Wake up, Wake up, Wake up
Or are you afraid of the shakeup
There's a better thing you can take up,
Most of my life I have spent alone
Most of this past year I been searchin' for my home
I met a girl she won't leave my mind alone
If she's listening I hope she understands my song
It goes:
If you get lonely >
All you gotta >
Do is call me > chorus
I'll come on the run >
Wherever you are >
No matter how far >
Bless my soul I think I'm fallin' again
I hear my woman she is callin' me again
If she needs me I gotta go she's my best friend
Y'see I promised her and I remember what I said
I said:
chorus --
Most of this life is such a hard road to go down, go down
Count your blessings on the good friends you got hangin' around
It takes two to be friends it takes two to be lovers
Know you got it made when you got one thats the same as the other
Then you say:
If you get lonely
All you gotta
Do is call me
I come on the run
Wherever you are
(Stephen Stills)
Think I'll go back home
Think I'll go back home
Think I'll go back home
Back where I belong
Think I'll go back home
Nothin' for me here
Nothin' for me here, child, no there ain't
Nothin' for me here
People trapped by fear
And you can't get near
Lived with you I felt
Lived with you I felt, child
Lived with you I felt
I was by myself
I was someone else
Babe, come home with me
Babe, come home with me now
Babe, come home with me
And I'll make you see
Yes, I'm gonna set you free
When I woke up this morning
I found that I was alone, yeah
Till I called your number
They told me there's no one home again
Baby, what does it mean?
---------------------------
In your face
I saw risk
Well worth the taking
Time alone
The first kiss
No taking
I loved you from the start
Lost control
Of my flaming heart
Too cold when we're apart
Babe behold
This flaming heart
As the years
Been rollin' by
I've been searchin'
Who had the keys
To the flaming heart
You see emergin'
I loved you from the start
Can't you feel
My flaming heart
Never be apart
No one can steal from you this
Flaming heart
(Talk about it James)
(So listen baby we're talkin' 'bout)
The fire
I can see
Within you burnin'
Desire
Same as me
Endless yearnin'
I loved you from the start
With the heat
Of a flamin' heart
We can't be apart no more with need
Of this
Flamin' heart
---------------
Fortunes of time making up a rhyme
How do we save tomorrow
Given a voice can you make a choice
Is it black, is it grey, is it yellow
Mother nature made it green
Prettiest place you've ever seen
People don't know what they need
Open your window
What do you see
Do you remember
How it used to be
All of this crying, while the earth is dying
It's a shock they won't stop because of the money
America is lost, figurin' the cost
You can hang your head in shame
It's disgusting
Mother nature made it green
Prettiest place you've seen
People don't know what they need
Open your window
What do you see
--------------
Would you knock a man down if you don't like the cut of his clothes
Could you put a man away if you don't want to hear what he knows
Well it's happening right here people dying of fear by the droves
And I know most of you
Either don't believe it's true,
Or else you don't know what to do
Or maybe I'm singing about you,
Who knows.
It's incredibly sick, you can feel it, as across the land it flows
Prejudice is slick when it's a word game, it festers and grows,
Move along quick, it furthers one to have somewhere to go
You can feel it as it's rumblin'
Let emotions keep a tumblin'
Then as cities start to crumblin'
Mostly empty bellies grumblin'
Here we go
People see somebody different fear is the first reaction shown
Then they think they've got him licked the barbaric hunt begins and they move in slow
A human spirit is devoured the remains left to carrion crow
I was told that life is change
And yet history remains,
Does it always stay the same
Do we shrug it off and say
Only God knows
By and by, somebody usually goes down to the ghetto
Try and help but they don't know why folks treat them cold
And the rich keep getting richer and the rest of us just keep getting old.
You see one must have a mission
In order to be a good Christian
If you don't you will be missing
High Mass or the evening show
And the well fed masters reap the harvests of the polluted seeds they've sown,
Smug and self-righteous they bitch about people they owe,
And you can't prove them wrong, they're so God damn sure they know
I have seen these things with my very own eyes and defended my battered soul,
It must be too tough to die,
American propaganda, South African lies
Will not force me to take up arms, that's my enemies' pride,
Ands I won't fight by his rules that's foolishness besides,
His ignorance is gonna do him in and nobody's gonna cry,
Because his children they are growing up
With bigots and their silver cups
They're fed up, they might throw up
by Stephen Stills
Woman woman
Can I tell you about my girl
She's lost and gone away
Don't know where she's goin'
Wish she'd come home to stay.
Woman woman woman woman
Ese mujer me ha mentido
Como mujer eres niña
vive en un mundo sin paredes
Inocentemiento no lo crees querida
And when you think of me
Try to remember
All of the good times
And love that was tender

I was lost in a voyage at sea
I was waiting for you and me
To remember just how it was
So that we can sing together
When will you realize
I got one of your stronger
And I know we can work it
I know we can work it work it out
together
But look hiding behind the walls
Closing doorways to the hall
Nothing ventured nothing gained
What's your game
Just take a look at that blackened tree
It is not for the cause of me
But a stranger was passed there long
And he stepped right in-between us
Picture of empty places
Eyes of reflecting faces
Now your fast emptiness
Now you can see what the fear does
You go hiding behind walls
We can tear away the wall
Change the shutters from the hall
Never voices as that are called
Then you're singing that is all
And the reason for the game
Becomes clearly quite a statement
That's what you get for playing your game

I thought I knew you
I guess I took myself
Right down the wrong road
Leading to the past
I know you're trying
To rearrange your mind
But you were lying
Do you laugh in my face
Turn back turn back the pages
Who remembers names
Who remembers faces
Turn back don't drive yourself crazy
Life's too short for ritualistic chases
Maybe tomorrow
You'll find you have to cry
And in your sorrow
See the mirror it doesn't lie
Just like the last time
You try to pull me down
You are the past time
And blind and death to sound
Turn back turn back the pages
Who remembers names
Who remembers faces
Turn back don't drive yourself crazy
Life's too short for repetitious changes
No use denying
You wasted my time
And caused the crying
And the bitterness to hide
Just trying to prove
You need nobody else
But you're bound to lose
Lying to yourself
Turn back turn back the pages
Who remembers names
Who remembers faces
Turn back don't drive yourself crazy
Life's too short for ritualistic chases
Turn back turn back turn back the pages
I could be a rambler from the seven dials
I don't pay taxes 'cause I never file
I don't do business that don't make me smile
I love my aeroplane 'cause she's got style
I'm a treetop flyer
Born survivor
I will fly any cargo you can pay to run
these bush league pilots just can't get the job done
Got to fly down into the canyons, never see the sun
There's no such thing as an easy run
For a treetop flier
Born survivor
I'm flyin' low, I'm in high demand
Fly fifteen feet off the Rio Grande
Blow the mesquite right up off the sand
Seldom seen, especially when I land
I'm a treetop flier
Born Survivor
People ask me, "Where'd you learn to fly that way?"
Over in Vietnam, chasin' NVA
The government taught me, and they taught me right,
Stay under the treeline, and you might come out alright
I'm a treetop flier
Born survivor
Comin' home, I'm runnin' low and fast
promised my woman this one's gonna be my last
Get the ship down, and I tie her fast
then some old boy walks up, says "Son, you wanna make some fast cash?"
I'm a treetop flyer
There's things I am and there's things I'm not
I am a smuggler and I could get shot
But I gonna die, I ain't goin' to get caught,
'Cause I'm a flyin' fool and my aeroplane is just too hot
I'm a treetop flier
Born survivor
Alone with my guitar
Living on a mountain
Far away
I saw girl
Gypsy woman deepest in the world
When she moved it was a dance
We hid ourselves
And I had no chance
For the treasure of the oneness
That like sand becomes a diamond
Before the wind
And while I changed my strings
A rocky mountain woman
Came to town to sing
Took my heart and ran
When she bade me follow
I just took her hand
I began my journey to the east
A country boy searching for my peace
In the treasure of the oneness
That like sand becomes a diamond
Before the wind
I sit in deep reflection
There are no answers
To my questions
Where did they go
And which one took my heart
Which one took my soul
I may never see it clearly there comes another
Now she turns to beckon me with the Devil's key
The treasure of the oneness
Then becomes sand and lies there naked
Before the wind
drawn to a flame
she is far away
out of reach
will she burn her wings
i can oly watch
out of touch
out of my mind
i wish i could tell
if she's alright
feeling fine
it's lucky for me
i'm not a jealous man
out of hand
out of my mind
when this partys over
over
i will loose her
to another
get yourself someone
and then wave goodbye
don't you cry
go ahead break your heart
but don't fall apart
it's like saying goodbye
to friends for the first time
I'm out on the street
All alone by the newsstand
The lady of leisure comes
Tearin' by
Almost knocking me down
She turns at the corner
And looking back
Lets her eyes send the message
I'm helpless alone
And I'm goin' down
Help me I need someone gentle to love me
My life is a miserable comedy
Of strangers
Posing as friends
I know they don't know
Who I am
Hurry it's time to make your move boy
Hurry better get along with it soon boy
Hurry there she goes
Hurry she's out the door boy
You know you can win the battle
But you can lose
The war
Hurry are your feet glued to the pavement boy
You know you can win the battle
But you can lose
The war
Thought I saw a fox I did I saw a fox
Amidst that sea of pride
Running
Let me call a hansom cab
We'll both get in and then go for a ride
Nowhere
Nothing spoken I retreat
Find the subway take a seat
I let myself get in my way
And let her get away
I got off the train at the next stop
And headed back uptown
I knew I could find her
She so needed a friend
I found her alone in a doorway
The tears in her eyes
Said there's nothing that you can say
I just need an ending
I gave her a flower
And got her to smile
And asked her quite frankly
Would she not prefer
A beginning
(Stephen Stills/Tom Pogue)
She's a honky tonk angel that
You meet in the night
And she knows how to love you
And make you feel right
She's gonna wave you goodbyeBut the people there are poor
Can't see the forest for the trees
In the time it takes to sing this song
Another acre's gone
Gotta save the Amazonia
Before all of it is gone
Amazonia
Amazonia
With so many people hungry
All those children there to feed
No use blaming the Sinterras
They've got families
Finding other ways to prosper
Realize the damage done
Educate them with an answer
And take care of everyone
In Amazonia
Amazonia
Amazonia
Simple answers are much harder
To accomplish than the rest
And there's always someone getting hurt
When you have to do what's best
So put your imagination
And your shoulder to the task
Save the rain forest from ourselves
There's no more we can ask
So many times
I've been fooling myself
It's a hard hand to play
Falls on nobody else
Those in the city
Reaching out to grab hold
Of something they've only heard about
And never been shown
Who do you turn to and what do you say
When she's got the power and she got the way
Does it matter at all
Who survives and who falls
When we live under darkness
And hide behind walls
Why would anyone
Even try to hold sway
Over somebody else
In such a small way
Where are the answers
To the problems we face
Who would teach us
About sharing and living in grace
Who do you turn to and what do you say
When she's got the power and she got the way
Does it matter at all
Who survives and who falls
When we live under darkness
And hide behind walls
4+20
Four and twenty years ago, I come into this life,
the song of a woman and a man who lived in strife.
He was tired of being poor and he wasn't into selling door to door
and he worked like the devil to be more.
A different kind of poverty now upsets me so.
Night after sleepless night, I walk the floor and I want to know- why am I so alone?
Where is my woman can I bring her home? Have I driven her away? Is she gone?
Morning comes to sunrise and I'm driven to my bed.
I see that it is empty and there's devils in my head.
I embrace the many colored beast. I grow weary of the torment, can there be no peace?
And I find myself just wishing that my life would simply cease.
When I look
And my eyes finally meet a lady
Who has something unique
I must know her
Don't stumble on my feet
Get together
At least just enough to speak
To this stranger
If I dream, I'm bound to lose my place
Fascinated, with this beautiful face
Watching her eyes
There focusin' on me
Pay attention, she is talking to me
I'm the stranger
Tryin' to remember that getting it wrong
Is what everyone does
Mutual attraction can be so
Distracting, forget where you were
Strangers can fall in love
When you think about love at all
And you wind up cryin' the blues
And the lonelies person that you know
Is starin' out of the mirror at you you you
Are the stranger
And you know the danger
It'll be right
And you know that she's
With you
She ain't thinkin'
About what she's supposed to do
Worry'in
Might as well just be pretendin'
Hurryin'
When you know every new
Friend is a stranger
Spanish suite
Cuando sientes que tu amor
va saliendo de tu vida
y nunca regresará
Cuando ella diga
adios y buena suerte
no estoy interesada
tu amor no vale nada
(when you feel that your love
is going out of your life
and will never come back
when she says
goodbye and good luck
i am not interested
your love is worth nothing)
There comes a time when love becomes a trial
And some they will survive
And some are sure to fail
No matter what you do
It's not enough, for she
Is as sure as she can be
That she no longer cares to love you
So go on alone, your future is your own
For she has told you now
The time has come to follow different paths
How long will it take you to forget her?
How long for the love to finally die?
How long will the spirit live within you?
Help me, I can no longer cry
(trumpet)
So take your life in hand
And live it day by day
One moment at a time
â'Til death comes to collect you
Remember all the love, beyond just simple caring
Obsessively compelling,
But ultimately so telling
Y parece
que sabÃas que algún dÃa
iba a vivir
ese momento ya pasado
No mientas
ya no llores por tu amor
la vida continúa
olvida tu dolor, hermano mÃo
Todo todo ha pasado
estaba destinado
(and it seems
you knew that some time
i was going to live
the moment had already passed
don't lie
don't cry for your love
life goes on
forget your pain, my brother
everything is over
it's already been written)
It took me too much time to realize that it was over
There was no more me and you
Now my life has changed completely
There's an empty place that once belonged to you (yeah)
I gave up on you
That's the hardest thing I've ever had to do
Giving up on you
I gave up on you
I have nothing left to lose
Even though I know you'll never really face yourself or put your trust in someone else
That's just the same as asking all of us to turn away and just give up on you
Every day is different for me now
The air is clear, and the daily worry too (all the time)
Easier to repossess my confidence was weak
I was trapped in loving you
I gave up on you
Even with the sadness it would surely bring
I gave up on you
I gave up on you
Even knowing what I do
I was giving up the pain of living without you
My life will never be the same
So I will once again do as you wish give up on you
I feel so common now
My love of decades, (won't you really pass too late?)
Hatreds born of demons must be driven from destruction
Now must fight for its own sake
I gave up on you
I'd no more time to waste
I gave up on you
I'd harder things to face
I gave up on you
I've finished with the chase
I gave up on you
While I can still forget the bitter taste
And memories that overcome me
Seeming to be trying to convince me
That life is nothing but a time to waste
I gave up on you
And it's all in the way you wonder
If you think you're learnin' how
Pick up your feet you don't have to pick up a gun
You can prod the sacred cow
You know the song of love >
It's empty now >
As it always seems > chorus
To have been >
You can go on home >
Used to be down to tear gas and clubs
What do you think about grenades
(You know like a frag)
Nonsense is as
Nonsense does
The judge's eagle promenades
chorus --
The good book tells us
"Thou shalt not kill"
What is the meaning of this phrase
Is it sometimes right and sometimes wrong
Depends if you're foolish or brave
Soldier, soldier, soldier
Stuck in a hospital ward
Living in a wheelchair
Do you remember the war
It's not over
It'll never be over for you
It's not over
Till they stop playing war with you,
Soldier, Soldier
Do you remember who found you
The helicopter crew
Out of the Au Shan Valley
What could they do
It's not over
It'll never be over for you
It's not over
Till they stop playing war with you,
Soldier, Soldier
Was anybody with you
When you felt your body die
Knowing that you live on
The shell of a man to hide
It's not over
It'll never be over for you
It's not over
Till they stop playing God with you,
Soldier, Soldier
Soldier, Soldier

Listen to the sound of the night bird singin'
I wonder who he calls
My fingers hurt so bad, it's got me grinnin'
And I wonder can I do it all
Hit a stretch of rapids in the rushing ragin' river
Looking out for boulders and falls
A woman she watches from the top of the canyon
Hopin' we don't drown us all
Help me now, I got to slow down
Hear my singin' call
Hurt myself bad on a run through the desert
Threw a shoe and took a bad fall
Long for the peace that the ancients bring me
Murmur of the lowlands shut my jaw
Help me now, I got to slow down
Hear my singin' call
Everyone knows there's a price for the askin'
Some people buy themselves a doll
Help me, sweet Jesus
I'm weary from the journey
I need to tell my brothers what I saw
Help me now, I got to slow down
Pretty woman you lovely such and such
Think about the last time
You had a gentle touch
Did you feel it
Ain't it just too much
See somebody pretty
Look you in the eye
That's the one that touches you
Do you need a place to hide
And I'm just as bad as anything
You ever thought about anyone
And I know our time's goin' to come
Just as sure as the risin' of the sun
And I know she loves me so
See somebody pretty
Look you in the eye
That's the one that touches you
Do you need a place to hide
Round the Bend
I was a child lost in the northern plains
I was reckless, tryin' to throw my life away
I was too young for where I had been
Tryin' to regain my innocence
Already lost my best friend
Off somewhere, yeah, in Vietnam
What's the point to go look for him
My destiny's just around the bend
Come along this apparition
An enigma for my intuition
Told me hold on to what you said
You got song, and you're too classy
Hard as Canadian black ice
All over you, makin' you think twice
Y'already kin
Our destiny just around the bend
Just around the bend
So come on, let's go to New York city
Play the Night Owl, and it's a pity
Couldn't find him, so I headed west
Think everyone knows the rest
I found him on the Sunset Strip
d**n place to get a grip
Got a band in a spin
Next thing you know we're totally round the bend
We got down to some magic places
But the peoples around all had four faces
Couldn't stand such an honest heart
They couldn't wait to tear us apart
Early I didn't know
But magic is an art you know
Don't need to be a known end
That's rockin' around the next bend
by Stephen Stills and Fuzzy Samuel
Can you see them runnin' their games on my mind
See the wasted energy flyin' by
Whispering shadows standin' somewhere close by
Don't mean nothin' to me I can't see your eyes
Somebody rollin' my stone
How could you leave me alone
Oh darlin' you're on your own
Nobody rollin' my stone
On down the road
And I know I've done the same sort of thing
Hidin' inside myself, can't find my way out again
And the world can get so twisted from Mary Jane
Lookin' back it seems so ridiculously insane
Somebody rollin' my stone
How could you leave me alone
Oh darlin' you're on your own
Nobody rollin' my stone
On down the road
So then what have I got to say to you
Nobody's tryin' to tell you what to do
Then they know when you think of something new
Why are you sailin' with that fair weather crew
When I was a young man long ago
I fell in love so hard you know
She was strong, she was pretty
Such a pity
New York City took my love away
Yes it did
Chances are we're better off you know
This guitar man's life goes on the show
She was strong, she was pretty
Such a pity
City junkies cannot taste the day
So the sunken people waste away
She was strong, she was pretty
Yes she was
New York City took my love away
Ain't no thing
I got to say to you
Ain't no game
That I'm tryin' tryin' to run on you
I have fantasies about you
In the middle of the night
I could not live without you
If we ever got it right
One thing I know for sure
You ain't had no man that's yours
Ever do right by you
When you came
Into my life I was in trouble too
Were no flame
But to give up love ain't worth
These blues
I was driving myself crazy
I was wasted I was down
Weren't no time for being lazy
Pleasin' everybody round
Had some trip I had to deal with
Weren't no love that I could feel it
Ever get right by you
It's so strange
Hey hey hey little girl
What I've been through
Time for a big change
General overhaul of your
Attitude
All this misery and this cryin'
Ain't no knowin' what to do
You got circuitry that's fryin' all
This worryin' about you
Need a man knows how to fight
Get it over, get it right
Right right right by you
----------------
Everybody wants to hear
The music in my head
The price I pay is too much
And I'm winding up in debt
So if you don't mind
I think I'm gonna stay home
I am getting older now
I have no need to roam
I just need a good home
Everybody wants to know
Do I remember what I think
About revolution, mind pollution,
The kind of books I drink
After one last look around
I believe that I might like to
Settle down in a relaxing town
III.
All we ever get to see are the rednecks
And the revolution crazies
Let's rent out Soldier's Field
And have Jerry Rubin versus Mayor Daley
For the benefit of peace
Admission is free
We can all stay home and
Watch it on TV
piece of me
somewhere out yonder
mystery
cain't nothing but wonder how it got free
it's a spell i'm under
but you all want a piece of me
come out of the shadow
which you do tell
go a-dream out ya river
into a wishing well (yeah)
what y'all think i need
all want a piece of me
like i am
don't you know it's a hunger
i can't stay away
there's a sigh and a thunder
needs playing
know where i'll be
every last piece of me
can i be excused
it's my guitar phone
thinking what i will use
to get the cool tone
might get you pay
if you just fade away
go get on
Pensamiento mio
Dime que me quieres
Y que me perdones
Si he quedado mal
Pensando en ella
Y por mi coraz-n
Desde aquel dia
No hago mas que llorar
Pensando si ella
Llegara olvidarme
Dejando mi alma
Increiblemente
Sola y triste
Creo que yo nunca
Vivire sin ella
Porque mi querida
Es mi vida
Queridisima novia
Si tu supieras mi dolor
Correspondieras a mi amor
Y calamaras mi sufrir

Does everyone have their dark side
Like the backside of a lover's moon
Do we cry out for justice at sunrise
To be cleansed by confessions at noon
Have Mercy
Still my heart is an open secret
Someone tell me have I been gifted or robbed
Just as we seem to end the one act play
We draw so much farther apart
Each new opening, a different time for closing
Will I sing my last symphony to an empty room?
Still my heart is an open secret
Someone tell me have I been gifted or robbed
Most of my life has gone up and down
And I don't see no reason for all this pain
Who was it said, "Life is too short"
All this hurtin' just makes it seem a shame
Still my heart is an open secret
ole man trouble
there's a man
you know they call trouble
and he follows me everywhere i go
you know ole man trouble
he can't get me now cos i know
mr charlie yeah
you know i worked hard for you
ah but you're mean to me
just as mean as you can be
you and ole man trouble

cos my mind is free
and my pockets, lord

i got no place to lay my weary head
rather leave all my troubles
and let the green green grass be my bed
and i get what i need
and i need what i get
and there never ain't nothing that i didn't need yet
so ole man trouble
(oh it doesn't matter about what i want
do y'all get what i'm saying)
cos my heart is in my song
m' song blowing in the breeze
ole man trouble

cos my mind is free
and i got a love for the life i live
and i gotta need yeah what i got to give
so goodbye
ooooooo, goodbye
i got no need for ya
ole man trouble
ole man trouble, trouble, goodbye
------------------------
Been on the road too long
Most of these changes should be past
And gone
Clarify my position
Must be some kind of fool
I'm a musician
I got nothin' to do but today
Already on my way
Goodbye. I can't stop to say
Just quietly slip away
And lose myself it's the only way
I got nothin' to do but today
You think I'm not myself
You're confusing me with somebody else
I'm not so easily deceived
I am a blues man, I know when to leave
I hear that you're concerned
About hearing me
I understand your problem
If you see candles burn
From the middle me
I don't know how to stop them
Oh yes we catch a fire
Kick the room around
We like to keep it poppin'
And if we get inspired
Rapped up in the sound
Might come some truth a knockin'
Everybody
Got some kind of story
Ain't nobody
Near enough worried
The story goin' round
Thru the welfare line
Is that nobody matters
What it is goin' down
Easily defined
Fat cats are getting fatter
It's hard to be concerned
With what you cannot see
I don't think they see the problem
When everybody's heard
Of this agony
There's people goin' hungry right now
Everybody got some kind of story
Yeah
Nobody near enough worried
So honey spread the word
Get visibility
This is the people talkin'
Get with this real life
Your vailidity
Don't need no weapon today
This can't be all there is
To the twilight's last gleaming
I just don't think we'll have it
Willful unconsciousness
Plain and simple me me me
I think we better fix it
Right now
Everybody, got some kind of story
Ain't nobody near 'nough worried
Don't turn your back on me
I love you
It may not mean that much to you
That's OK
But don't you turn away
Let me hear you say
I love you
Y si tu no me comprendes dijame lo.
Yo te dejar tu sola y yo llorando
Y lo que llegar€ you lo pasara
Como quieres querida como quieres tu.
There may be an angry sky
Above us
Come, let's look into our eyes
And love us
'Cause I won't turn away
Let me hear you say
I love you.
No me dejes miserable que quiero.
Y si vienes de su coraz€"n como sientes t".
Oigame querida escucha me mi amor
De quiero infinamente par toda nuestra vida.
New mama's got a son
In her eyes
No clouds are in my changing skies
Each morning when I
Get up to rise
I'm livin' in a dreamland
Changing times
Ancient reasons
That turn to lies
Throw them all away
Head in hand
Gift of wonders to
Understand
And open all the way
New mama's got a son
In her eyes
No clouds are in my changing skies
Each morning when I
Get up to rise
I'm livin' in a dreamland
Are you leavin'
Bein' alone
Always made you so sad
I got memories of the city
Followin' me everywhere I go
Are you mad with heartache
Got a country home
And you a Parisienne
Gonna take all your sorrows
Right along with you when I'm gone
And I got to go away
Only need a couple of days
I got one more chance to sing it
And I ain't gon' waste my time
'Cause everything including you
Is on the line
Are you troubled
Feelin' bad
And no one seems to care
Got the myth of Sisyphus
My angel there she goes
Where she comes from
Nobody knows
She came walkin' quiet as a bird, walkin' softly
With a good word
And who was I talkin' to
Soon I must see for myself
New love don't run away
I don't think you understand
How deeply you touch me
My angel callin' me soft and low
Love me gentle I've suffered and
Fallen so low
Can I try and love you best I can
Take good care of you be your man
Who was I talkin' to
Soon she will see for herself
New love don't run away
I think she now understands
How deeply she touches me
My angel will she go
Will she move on
I just don't know
If it happens that
She has to go
I'll be sorry but
I can say that I did know
My angel yes I did
I knew my angel
There's a whole lot of magic
When you're in Paris
And I swear I've never seen
So many pretty women go by
And I can't stop from dancing
I'm spinning 'round like a clock
That's wound up too tight
I want to tell you 'bout all I see
Stars in my eyes that you would not believe
I'm a little funky wearin' out my shoes
Don't mean anything unless I'm dancin' with you
Midnight, midnight in Paris
Midnight, midnight in Paris
Donne mois ta main
Si je viens de loin
Je n'ai pas de remors †te vouloir
Et †te dsirer
Si je viens de loin
Moi je prux te parler de ma musique
Et parle moi de toi
Si tu veux me dire un jour bon quelque chose
J'ouvre un autre cot de ma vie et tu dpose
Si tu veux te sentir un moment comme moi
Tu regarde moi quand je danse avec toi
Midnight, midnight in Paris
Midnight, midnight in Paris
Well, we'll have another bottle
Monsieur Luigi
So we can toast the autumn
Since it's all around
And I'll always remember
Singing in the park
When the rain
Came down
I want to tell you 'bout all I see
Stars in my eyes that you would not believe
I'm a little funky wearin' out my shoes
Don't mean anything unless I'm dancin' with you
Midnight, midnight in Paris
Midnight, midnight in Paris
All of your time alone
How long do ya think it will take
Before you go round the bend
A permanent spiritual break
A borken heart on the mend
Somebody comin' just wait
Fate
Can be your best friend
And love
Is an accident of
Faith
Then in the end
Here is love
Come again
I had a girl I know
Love me more than life
She couldn't figure why
Confused to be precise
Finally let it go
I couldn't get enough of it right, right
Fate
Can be your best friend
And love
Is an accident of
Faith
Then in the end
Here is love
Come again
I'm with a woman now
Satisfied with me must be
Crazy about her yeah
I think maybe I got lucky
Watchin' what we are growin'
Ain't it amazing she really loves me
Fate
Can be your best friend
And love
Is an accident of
Faith
Then in the end
Here is love
Come again
Live in a dream, you've got everything you need
But it still hurts inside
The way she led you to believe
All those vicious lies
She told you some things
Same lines she's told me before
She'll win your trust
Then she'll walk over you
Leave your soul lying in the dust
I know it's so hard to believe
The same thing happened to me
You'll just have to see for yourself
That woman, she thinks of herself
And nobody else
I finally got mine, and now I'm gone
I hope you get yours
'Cause it won't be wrong
What you see is what you get...
There is a stranger where I once knew you
There is a dangerous energy flows through you
I don't know what to say
Just get out of the way
And remind you
This just isn't like you
I wouldn't pay no mind 'cept for the voices
Telling you I won't mind you makin' my choices
Not wishing to be unkind
But you are out of line
Need I remind you
This just isn't like you
And I must confess to bein' heart broken
That you would still insist I been jokin'
When I am always there
As you are well aware
Doesn't it strike you
It just isn't like you
If you dogrow
Then you must know
When you get so jive
You only half alive
Show me right now
That you know how
You can stand up
Look in a mirror and sigh
Get your feet wet
Run with the jetset
Be a good girl
Go around the world
But the longer it goes on
The harder you hang on
Til you stand up
Look in a mirror and sigh
Tryin' to be cool
You just be the fool
Let it be known
You ain't full growed
And its all right
Don't put up such a fight
You can stand up
Look in a mirror and sigh
If you dogrow
Then you must know
When you get so jive
You only half alive
Show me right now
That you know how
You can stand up
Look in a mirror and sigh
Get your feet wet
Run with the jetset
Be a good girl
Go around the world
But the longer it goes on
The harder you hang on
Til you stand up
Look in a mirror and sigh
Tryin' to be cool
You just be the fool
Let it be known
You ain't full growed
And its all right
Don't put up such a fight
You can stand up
Look in a mirror and sigh
If you're trav'lin' out west
And you see a dark haired girl
Tell her her love is a'waitin
In the rockies so near
And the mountains is high (Aaaaarrrrgggghhhhh!!!!! Not again!)
As his love it is strong
It's a fine place to be
By his side
She belongs
And they both travelled far
And they both travelled wide
But they travelled alone
With no one to confide
Their love can't grow stronger
Tho' now it is deep
They must trust in each other
Their souls
For to keep
And we all know that people
Ain't made to live lonely
They need to be trusted
And loved by one only
That one special one
Who can just let it be
And remember that Jesus
Gave love
Don't put your business in the street
Your brothers and sisters is about all you need
No tellin' who you might meet
It might make you sad, make you feel mad
Make you blue, what are you gonna do
The biggest fool of all is me
I play the music for the music you see
For money I do publicity
So I can buy guitars, put a studio in the backyard
You know what it costs me to find another key
And when you get a little bit older
You're carryin' too much weight on your shoulder
Share your heavy load come on over
So we go and see, what you're gonna be
Don't try too hard, don't you break your heart
Oh yes, wrong, right
I'm tellin' ya, tell me
Gonna be all right
Gonna be all right
Don't look now
Don't heed the warning
It's really of no concern
Don't mind the sound
They're only just bombing
Anything left to burn
Isn't it about time
Isn't it about time we learned
Isn't it about time
Isn't it about time we learned
Fire flood familiar famine
The jungle so far away
Blood baked into blackened soil
How many tons a day
Isn't it about time
Isn't it about time we learned
Isn't it about time
Isn't it about time we learned
Isn't it about time
Isn't it about time we learned
Isn't it about time
Isn't it about time we learned
Why
Does it have to take so long
Is it easy not to care
Seems to me that
Enemies are fantasies
Somebody else's living nightmare
Who gonna live
Who gonna die
Do you want to know
Does it give you
A sense of power
To say yes or no
Isn't it about time
Isn't it about time we learned
Isn't it about time
Isn't it about time we learned
Strangest sort of feelin'
With me every day
Everybody wasted
A little more than they'd like to say
Worry 'bout tomorrow
Like it was today
Leave you only sorrow
Feelin' lost
In the way
When I was in prison
It was only yesterday
There were no longer cages
Still I had to stay
Think about tomorrow
Like it was today
Leave you only sorrow
Feelin' lost
And in the way
Never saw the stranger
Clouding up the day
Never understanding
Anything I say
Do you know the meaning
When you finally lose your way
Who will be your witness
Come to judgement day
Think about tomorrow
Like it was today
Leave you only sorrow
Feelin' lost
And in the way
If I fell in love with you again
Would you simply want it said you once knew me
Could you care enough to follow and see
Just what is it lies between us, why we hide it so deep
I was told by a fried that you miss me
And you try very hard to forget me
And you live your busy life, there's no room for me
Cause the thing you're sure I'd take is your will to be free
Still you wrestle with the chains of your burden
And you're sure when they're gone you can be certain
You can live as you please, give what you sell
And you carry that weight so nobody can tell
by Stephen Stills & Joe Lala
Sometimes I think of the person I was
I really don't know him at all he was lost
Someone hurt he had to hide
Inside a shell every song was a cry
Por eso ahora ya yo no vuelvo a querer
Now I am somebody else and I know
It's not up to me whether I open or close
Someone has come to me she reaches for me
She didn't think twice when I gave her the key
Por eso ahora ya yo vuelvo a querer
I got no words left there's nothing to say
I was reborn on the Champs D'Elysee
Someone to listen somebody to share
I fell in love this time someone was there
To catch me
And I know it's not a dream
And we know who we are, who is we
And we're together
by Stephen Stills and James Newton Howard
from the Stephen Stills album "Right By You"
Certain my heart too much impaired
My life was fallin' into disrepair
I was beginning to despair
Of finding love at all
No one gave me a second look
Fewer still knew of a good book
She said "I would if I didn't
Have to work so hard"
And her eyes turn green
When she's feelin' love
When she's feelin' bad they
Turn blue
They're hazel
When she works
Until she sees
That my love can change her
Grey eyes back to green for me
Told me I caught her at her worst
Saw the confusion and the hurt
She felt that she'd been livin'
With this curse for far too long
But in the twinkling of an eye
Something between us laughed and cried
As we began to see
Indeed together we could fly
In your face
I saw risk
Well worth the taking
Time alone
The first kiss
No taking
I loved you from the start
Lost control
Of my flaming heart
Too cold when we're apart
Babe behold
This flaming heart
As the years
Been rollin' by
I've been searchin'
Who had the keys
To the flaming heart
You see emergin'
I loved you from the start
Can't you feel
My flaming heart
Never be apart
No one can steal from you this
Flaming heart
(Talk about it James)
(So listen baby we're talkin' 'bout)
I
The fire
I can see
Within you burnin'
Desire
Same as me
Endless yearnin'
I loved you from the start
With the heat
Of a flamin' heart
We can't be apart no more with need
Of this
Flamin' heart
(Guaranteed)
----------------------
Fishes and Scorpions
In the morning sun
Dance to the changing seasons
Get away with none
Water sign in the air
Touch the earth with flame
See the friendly Sagittarian
Do you remember his name
Lovers of lions
Stay away at feeding time
Is all the Taurus takes
Mimicking life in rhyme
And can you tell me
What does it do for you girl
And can you tell me
Who is that you knew girl
In the shadow of starshine
Everyone's going blind
Lookout you don't lose your mind
I don't know if it's a fantasy
It don't mean too much to me
In the shadow of starshine
Everyone's going blind
Gemini lady
Did you see me chasing you
I don't think I did
First things first
When you can quit livin' in the past
When you stop worryin' 'bout tomorrow
Then I think you just might last
And I know the price of freedom
Gettin' more than a little high
In these angry days of sorrow
We find the meaning of a lie
So I sing about first things first
First things first
Remember everything you pass
When it's time to go on back
Remember to put the first things first
And I know the price of freedom
Gettin' more than a little high
In these angry days of sorrow
We find the meaning of a lie
So I sing about first things first
Just as everythings going fine
Lose my grip and slide
Bounce the rock and catch the ball bound to fall
Fall stumble or toe the line
See my face and hide
Catch the tears I've cried
From reality it seems I've strayed
Tired of all the silly games I play
From reality it seems I've strayed
Tired of all the silly games I play
Just as everythings going fine
See my life in rhyme
Hear my hand slip from the wall bound to fall
Fall, stumble and reaching blind
Oh, how hard I've tried
Possibly I've died
Sing to the fallen eagle
Helicopters fly
Chase him 'round the mountains
Chase him 'til he dies
They say that it's good sportin'
Shootin' him on the wing
Above the roar and clatter
You can hear your rifle sing
his death song
it won't be long
Sing to the western rancher
The eagle takes his lamb
He's got a thousand others
He don't give a damn
Get up with the sunrise
Everybody gather 'round
Kill him with the first shot
He'll turn and bring you down
down down
crash on the ground
Sing to the noble eagle
Help is on the way
A government team of experts
Is a'rushin' to your aid
I know your not excited
An eagle is no waif
Fly on up to Canada
This country isn't safe
anymore
that's for sure
(Fred Neil)
Everybody's talkin' at me
Can't hear a word they're sayin'
Only the echoes of my mind
People stoppin', starin'
I can't see their faces
Only the shadows of their eyes
Goin' where the sun keeps shinin'
In the pouring rain
Goin' where the weather suits my clothes
Banking off a northeast wind
Sailin' on a summer's breeze
Skipping over the ocean
Like a stone
Everybody's talkin' at me
Can't hear a word they're sayin'
Only the echoes of my mind
People stoppin', starin'
I can't see their faces
Only the shadows of their eyes
Goin' where the sun keeps shinin'
In the pouring rain
Goin' where the weather suits my clothes
Banking off a northeast wind
Sailin' on a summer's breeze
Skipping over the ocean
Like a stone
And you know I'll never leave my love behind
When I was a young man
Standin' in the door
The room was dark and smokey
The smell of death befo' me
Think I'll go down
Mama
Go on down the road
See what's goin' on
Down the road
Lotsa friends and chirren
Layin' in the grass
Hookah makes me crazy
Believe I'm goin' have to pass
Think I'll go down
Mama
Go on down the road
See what's goin' on
Down the road
Then you find your kokane
Start to movin' fast
Trip, stumble, fall, freeze up
Hope your body last
Think I'll go down
Mama
Go on down the road
See what's goin' on
Down the road
Drinkin' plenty good liquor
Bourbon twelve years old
Herowine, just in time
Worst trip that I know
Think I'll go down
Mama
Take a pass
Go on down the road
See what's goin' on
Some people into Jesus
Other people into Zen
I'm just into every day
I don't hide from where I been
I just go down
Mama
Go on down the road
See what's goin' on
Down the road
Standin' by a snow drift in the pale moonlight
Hitchhikin' west on a highway at night
Tryin' to get to Frisco lookin' for my girl
Here comes a trucker, hope he don't mind my long curls
I remember years ago hitchin' this same road
Never saw a trucker leave a man out in the cold
No riders sign on the window never meant a thing
Nowadays they just roll on lookin' kind of mean
Kind of makes me wonder, scratch my head and kick the snow
Four years of overseas who are these strangers in my home
Where are the country people does anybody know
Do you remember the Americans where did they go
Were they simply bought and sold
different man
i am a different man
than you've ever seen me be
i got young though i'm older now
fear and anger have no power over me
dug a hole and i did fall in
there i stayed for a while
who done told to be my saviour
in their pity they done lost all sense of me
nothing really matters but the love that's in my heart
long tall sally's standing by me
many are the friends i have been loyal to a fault
who have known all along
that there ain't too much good we've done
feeling shameful for too long
and you ain't bad but you went wrong
we all are sinners
the lord forgives us every one
god forgive every one
I been burned
By a cold empty fire
I been turned and led astray
But you learn
When you deal with a liar
It's a cold cold world
Cold world when it's
Your friends
I bee taken
Down a blind street
I been shaken and led astray
You awaken
With a bad bad feelin'
It's a cold cold world
When it's your friends
You might listen you might
Not it don't bother me
You won't know till the
Time catches up with you
Can't you see how close I'm
Watching you
Feel like dirt
They've taken my pride
And what's worse
I've been so betrayed
And it hurts you deep down inside
It's a cold cold world
Cold world, when it's your friends
You know trust is so hard to give
But you must or you're gonna be alone
When you're dust it just should not be
That it was a cold cold world
Cold world... cold cold world...
In the end
Have you seen
The ladies passing by
They don't seem to notice
That I'm lonesome and I cry
But soon they'll listen
I can tell you, tell you why
Gonna make a record
Gonna go sky high
I just wanna be closer to you
I just wanna see if you can be moved
I don't wanna be a fool for you
Or be alone
Going to the city
All the hustlers in the street
Can't you imagine where
This country boy's head might be
Bright lights are shining
I can see in front of me
At night clockwork deception
Won't save or set us free
I just wanna be closer to you
I just wanna see if you can be moved
I don't wanna be a fool for you
Or be alone
Gonna tour the country
Gonna play for all my friends
Such a positive action
I've got energy to lend
So come on down, we're cookin'
Let the rhythm get you high
Bring all the ladies
Tell them why, why, why
I just wanna be closer to you
I just wanna see if you can be moved
I don't wanna be a fool for you
Or be alone
(Stephen Stills)
In my short time
I've loved, I've shined
And now I find
All my lovin' just been blind
Southern girl, come on
You and me babe, gotta move on
My fortunes mean nothing
I never cared about fame
The dark eyed Cherokee
Like the raven she knows me
The secret she keeps
Like her soul so deep
Nothin' 'round here get to me
Like the lady from Tennessee
------------------
All of the ladies attending the ball
Are requested to gaze in the faces
Found on the dance cards
Please then remember
And don't get to close
To one special one
He will take your defenses and run.
So we change partners
Time to change partners
You must change partners
Again
This is how most of our ladies grew up
At the country club dances
They learned how to handle the boys
Gently but firmly
They learned to say no
There were four more young men
Who were waiting in the color and the noise.
So we change partners
Time to change partners
You must change partners
Again
All of the ladies attending the ball
Are requested to gaze in the faces
Found on the dance cards
Please then remember
And follow your list
'Cause the dear things get hurt
And the broken hearts make you feel.
So we change partners
Time to change partners
You must change partners
by Joe Esposito and Ali Willis
from the Stephen Stills album "Right By You"
I think of the two of us
An' how we both came to trust
In each other
And how we both have grown
Suddenly you're afraid
And letting it slip away
Just you remember we're
We're a very special love
Can't let go can't let go
You and me is all I know
It took a lot of love to
Get us to this place
Can't let go can't let go
I just keep holdin' on
Tell this impatient heart
This is no mistake
So much for promises
And what you think love is
Maybe time
Will find you what you need
Slow down
Things go through change
And pleasure can come from pain
Here's a memory
Of where we both belong
Didn't it work
For us so long
Together we'll find
What's gone
Can't let go can't let go
You and me is all I know
It took a lot of love to
Get us to this place
Can't let go can't let go
I just keep holdin' on
Tell this impatient heart
This is no mistake
by Stephen Stills and Danny Kortchmar
Can't get no booty can't get no booty
Can't get no booty can't get no booty
I can't see it anyway
Because I've always been such an easy prey
Can't get no booty can't get no booty
Try'n and try'n again
No matter how hard I shake my tailfeather
in your face
All I can think of it's such a disgrace
There's so much good man goin' to waste
Maybe it's because of the clothes I wear maybe it's the
Palmade on my hair
Can't get no booty can't get no booty
Is it the way I talk maybe it's the way I walk
Is it the way I think maybe it's just the way I speak
Can't get no booty can't get no booty
Can't get no booty can't get no booty
Having trouble seeing through your shades
What you been reading `bout me in the trades?
Trying to make myself perfectly clear
It's not the inches, it's the engineer
And when I'm running my strongest way
What is the feeling that you can't fake
Maybe it's the tattoo on my face
maybe it's that I just know my place
Can't get no booty can't get no booty
Can't get no booty can't get no booty

Unless you believe in magic
There ain't much left you can be
A skeptic or a fool
Have you been watching your TV
Incredible is all I think of
Did I really see
Wordless faces double talkin'
A runnin' it down to me...
About buyin' time
Brother can you spare a dime
Ain't it a crime
How we got to buy time
People goin' hungry
Ain't no jobs, they's in the street
Nobody's got no answer
They're just staring at their feet
Ain't no doubt about it
Things are lookin' pretty bleak
An' everybody's scufflin' hard
Tryin' to make ends meet
About buyin' time
Brother can you spare a dime
Ain't it a crime
How we got to buy time
It happened once before, you know
In 1932
But now there's so many more of us
There's something we gotta do
Something radical, something different
Got to hit on something new
America, the dream is lost
And it's killin' me and you
About buyin' time
Brother can you spare a dime
Ain't it a crime
How we got to buy time
Blind Fiddler Medley ("The Blind Fiddler," Trad.; "Do for the Others," Stephen Stills; "Know You Got to Run," Stephen Stills/John Hopkins)
I lost my eyes in a blacksmith shop
In the year of fifty six
Working on a t-flange
'Twas in need of fix
It bounded from the tongs
And there concealed my doom
I am a blind fiddler
Far frommy home
I have a wife and daughter
Depending on me
What good can I do them
My God I cannot see
I wander from one place to another
My daily bread to win
I am a blind fiddler
Looking for a friend
Round round up and down
All along the lonely town
See him sinkin' low
Doesn't see the love there is to know
And he cries
From the misery
And he lies
Singing harmony
She is gone
There is no tomorrow
It is done
So now he must borrow
The life of his brothers
And living in sorrow
He must do
For the others
A chill wind hits his face
Was that a tear
I thought I saw a trace
Loving people everywhere
Where is she
She is not there
And he cries
From the misery
And he lies
Singing harmony
She is gone
There is no tomorrow
It is done
So now he must borrow
The life of his brothers
And living in sorrow
He must do
For the others
Know you got to run
And you know you got to hide
Don't know who to follow
Who is on your side
Don't know where you're going
Won't talk of where you been
And I may see you tomorrow
Never more again
And you got yourself a potion
For to keep you from your sleep
In the dark and lonely hours
I've heard you laugh and weep
Talk about you're sinkin'
What a hole you're in
But you'll never face your lonely soul
Never face your friends
And you know you got to run
And you know you got to hide
Still there is a great light
Lingerin' deep within your eyes
Open up open up
C'mon and let me in
When you can love yourself honey I
I can love you then
I lost my eyes in a blacksmith shop
In seventeen fifty six
Working on a t-flange
'Twas in need of fix
It bounded from the tongs
And there concealed my doom
I am a blind fiddler
Far from my home
Round round up and down
All along the lonely town
by Stephen Stills & Joe Vitale
Down where the moss grow on the oak tree
There's a bayou woman she waits for me
She treats me nice and she makes good gumbo
C'est ma femme out Je t'aime I love her so
C'est beaucoup yumbo
And she'll lead the way once you
know where you're goin'
She gotta soft sway, Does it without knowin'
She treats me nice and she makes good gumbo
C'est ma femme out Je t'aime I love her so
C'est beaucoup yumbo
And I don't mind telling you that
everything feels better
When I'm with my woman make me
strong and for sure more together
There's a yellow swamp steady as you're goin'
`Round that next bend the cypress never knowin'
Listen to the music of the river flowin'
Like the deep Mississippi current she always knowin'
She treats me nice and she makes good gumbo
C'est ma femme out Je t'aime I love her so
C'est beaucoup yumbo

As I come of age
I keep fallin' down
And I feel just like a schoolboy
I was in a senseless rage
Runnin' too hard
And I tore you all to pieces
Yes but it's all over now
I'm a little bit older now
The lessons that I'm learnin' now
Gonna make it easy
Somehow
Now then can I try
Starting over
Put the pieces back together
Even as I cry bitter tears
I can see it's all a puzzle
A game
Always the same
By the time I die with the passing
If I've sorted out my changes
And if you could take the time
I would tell you that it's still a puzzle
The same
Always a game
ain't it always
ain't it always (4)
ain't it always thrilling to find a lover
understands
ain't it always (2)
ain't it always chilling that you might lose her
on the snap
ain't it always
stay there arm away
cos people change
never know what they might rearrange
ain't it always(2)
ain't it always trouble
love somebody so hard
it's a trap
ain't it always (2)
ain't it always double
how much it hurts
she left you flat
ain't it always
but the big thing was how she loved you
nothing like anything you've ever seen
ain't it always (2)
ain't it always(2)
maybe when she's willing she knows the way
she'll come back
ain't it always (2)
ain't it always killing thinking back
she's all of that
for that girl she's got you trapped
four different kinds of heart attack
ain't it always (4)
In the bayous haunted by Evangeline
In the pre-dawn hours close to Halloween
There's a mist that's hanging right in between
The Spanish moss & the cypress LEAVES
And the memory of the life that's gone wrong
C'est plus quand possible
Tu les sais Acadienne
I'm a driver alone in my Cadillac
In a white chair rug you'll be thinking back
He'll be running wild as a child tonight
And the snakes and â'gators they was friends of mine
I'll forever be un petit Acadienne
C'est plus quand possible
Tu les sais Acadienne
And the father never found peace enough
To cure his permanent wanderlust
Every time we'd get settled down
We'd wake up heading for another town
From the Louisiana to the Florida
That's a be my home to a (un-im-up ???)
That's a simple people don't complicate
And you hear the future in the hands of fate
And the life you get is the life that I want
C'est plus quand possible
Tu le sais Acadienne
And my father never found peace enough
To cure his permanent wanderlust
Every time we'd get settled down
We'd wake up heading for another town
Hear me boy cos your love is why
You got two three words you gonna be alright
And there's powerful forces out up the swamp
It'll be forever, make it permanent
And the life you get is the life that I want
C'est plus quand possible
Tu le sais Acadienne
C'est plus quand possible
Tu le sais Acadienne
Much to my dismay
When I wake up in the morning
No one by my side
Nowhere left to hide
I thought
Music was enough
I could fill the empty spaces
Wandering the halls
Bouncing off the walls
Too
High to hear the song
Or
Recall the deeper meaning
There is but to seek redress
From is wretched loneliness
With
Love
That's 50/50
Or a hundred at a time
Love
That's 50/50
With both of us this time
I can hear my love
And she wouldn't try to change me
She knows that I will try to be
The best of me that I can be
And that is change enough
I could lose myself tryin' to please her
And after all was said and done
She might not like what I'd become
So listen to your love
If you let it
It will tell you
You got to try again, again
Find your lover, confidant and
Friend
That's 50/50
Or a hundred at a time
Love love love love
That's 50/50
With both of us this time
Listen to your love
It will sing to you tomorrow
Every day's new melody
Needs a different harmony
So listen to the song
And the part that never changes
The rhythm and the symmetry
Of love's collected poetry
Listen close enough
Hear the whispers of forever
What we have ourselves become
One and one is still one
Love
That's 50/50
Or a hundred at a time
Love love love love
That's 50/50
With both of us this time
Love love
That's 50/50
Or a hundred at a time
Love love love love
That's 50/50
With both of us this time
He's a perfect stranger like a cross of himself and a fox
He's a feeling arranger and a changer of the ways he talks
He's the unforeseen danger, the keeper of the key to the locks
Know when you see him, nothing can free him
Step aside, open wide, loner
If you see him in the subway, he'll be down at the end of the car
Watching you move until he knows he knows who you are
When you get off the train alone, he'll know that you are gone
Know when you see him, nothing can free him
Step aside, open wide, it's the loner
There was a woman he knew about a year or so ago
She had something that he needed and he pleaded with her not to go
On the day that she left, he died, but it did not show
Know when you see him, nothing can free him
You there in the window starin' at me
Do you think I?m blowin' my cool playin' the fool
You there on a corner staring at me
Do you think I?m someone gone
Would you like to shoot me down
Oh yes
And I keep telling you that special care has been taken
To make you aware, I?ve been forsaken
And if you don?t care, there?s a bomb to take your house down
I?m telling you that special care has been taken
To make you aware, I?ve been forsaken
And if you don?t care then there?s a bomb to blow your house down
Sit down I think I love you
Anyway I'd like to try
I can't stop thinkin of you
if you go i know ill cry
if you want someone to love you
then(?) baby make it me
its not much im askin of you
just try me and youll see
baby can't you see that i'm a desparate man
I get high just a thinkin about you
you know what they say about the bird in the hand
There are places I remember all my life
Though some have changed
Some for ever not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life, I've loved them all
And of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new
Though I know I'll never ever lose affection
For people and things that went before
And I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life, I've loved you more
I met two kind people on the road
I was parched and I was dry from the cold
I've been traveling four days and nights, sir
And I do want to thank you for the ride, sir
And the soup your wife made tasted fine
If it's all the same
I'll be on my way at the next turn
'Cause I'm three miles short from my town
And my baby's waiting, I'm [incomprehensible] sir
After fifteen trucks and an old Ford
And the government madness, I ran away
And I hate to say, I can't tell you my name
'Cause I'm four days
Said I'm four days gone into running
Fancy Dan, gamblin' man
Top hat of the peanut man
Talk about your pot of gold
With a silver lining
Tumblin' dice, hit it twice
The boats and the flushes they sure look nice
On a pot of gold
With a silver lining
Stateline, give you a hard time
Don't you stay too long
Goodbye, pretty women I ain't stayin' on
Come on and...
Get a bunch, bet a bunch
If you come to gamble, better pack a lunch
For a pot of gold
With a silver lining.
The less you bet, stayin' in
The more you lose even when you win
On a pot of gold
With a silver lining
If you don't know when to stop
Lady Luck she gonna see you're taught
That there ain't no pot of gold
And no silver lining
Easy money, come too fast
Come too quick turn a good man bad
On a pot of gold
With a silver lining.
Amazonia
Amazonia
From the heart of Amazonia
Comes the very air we breathe
But the people there are poor
Can't see the forest for the trees
In the time it takes to sing this song
Another acre's gone
Gotta save the Amazonia
Before all of it is gone
Amazonia
Amazonia
With so many people hungry
All those children there to feed
No use blaming the Sinterras
They've got families
Finding other ways to prosper
Realize the damage done
Educate them with an answer
And take care of everyone
In Amazonia
Amazonia
Amazonia
Simple answers are much harder
To accomplish than the rest
And there's always someone getting hurt
When you have to do what's best
So put your imagination
And your shoulder to the task
Save the rain forest from ourselves
There's no more we can ask
by Stephen Stills
I got a fire
Deep within me burning
I'd be a liar
If I didn't tell you so
A live wire sparklin' around me
Couldn't tire havin' you around
Dance, dance, dance, makin' a connection
Hands, hands, hands, electricity flows
Rollin' hips movin' to me slowly
Lips touch lips brush mine ever so lightly
Look at me
I am your tomorrow
Can't you see
You know how I know
Got a place
In the morning we can borrow
Ain't no haste
Follow where I go
Time, time, time, only a few hours
Crime, crime, crime, got no telephone
Late, late, late, movin' on downtown
Wait, wait, wait, I will get you home a little later
Energy, our exhilaration
Come with me silent relaxation
Let it be, let yourself alone a while
What you need is a sunrise and a smile
Chance, chance, chance, bringin' us together
Real romance. Let's go be alone
When's the dance. I might be your lover
Dance, dance, dance. Let the rhythm set the tone baby.

Makin' it hard on each other
Makin' it hard on yourself
Makin' it hard on me
Makin' it hard on you
...Its all the same
I'm not the one to tell you what to do >
I have no desire to run your life > chorus
Do you thing you know what to do >
Just don't let nobody tell ya no lies >
Could we retire
To a neutral corner
'Cause I'd like a chance
...To make myself...clear...
I said I'm still your friend
I've got a few things I'd love to say
And I'd like to think that you might want to hear...
For instance the...
chorus --
Blind stubborn pride drove us apart
Can't you see the place we went wrong
You hide in your world
And I'll get lost in mine
All we got left is a song
chorus --
When you decide that you'd like to know
What it is that makes a person go
When you decide you believe and you're trustin' Let somebody open your soul
chorus --
by Stephen Stills
To forget about lovin' you at all is
beyond me
I cannot understand yeah
Here without you is loneliness
I called out in desperation give me
back your hand
I can't believe I've heard you say forever
It may be my naïveté
But life is real and not a play
Together we will go on
And I have not the faintest glimmer
of the past
And tomorrow will come and go away
And my heart is broken but will last
My spirit cries out to you for space
It is good can you feel it
It is strong cannot defeat it
And I don't believe you've gone away
Don't believe I've heard you say forever
It may be my naïveté
But life is real and not a play
Together we will go on
And as my future grows darker every day
I can't help wonderin' how you feel
About how high a price we have to pay
Broken dreams, broken hearts that
will not heal
And I don't believe you've gone away
Don't believe I heard you say forever
It may be my naïveté
But life is real and not a play
Together we will go on

Believin' in you is believin' in me
All the same circle game that makes us feel free
So much behnd us so much to do
Some days you eat the bear
Some days the bear eats you
Nothin' to worry 'bout
But the worries
That you make up yourself
Christopher's watching me carefully now
Wonderin' who I am listenin' to the sound
He knows the best and the worst of me now
I don't think I could go on if I let him down
Nothin' to worry 'bout
But the worries
That you make up yourself
So my love do the things you got to do
Never have to be afraid, I'm always with you
Believin' in me and you like Christopher does
Believin' is the magic that makes one from the two of us
Nothin' to worry 'bout
But the worries
That you make up yourself

Sometimes I Consider My Pace
I'm Reminded Of A Train Gathering Speed
For The Climb To The Pass
In Whose Shadow It Already Lies
A Small Metal Dragon Approaching
The Ever-Present Ascending Rise
To The Seventh Mountain
Reeling And Snaking And Leaping
It Seems Like It Wants To Come Loose
From Its Path Cast In Iron
But She Can't Slow Down Now
As The Earth Has Presented
A New Crest To Reach
Without Barely A Rest
From The Last One
And You Wonder Just What Lies Beyond
Though You've Been There Before
And Forget About The Effort And The Strain
Always Ascending
Each Yard Adds A Mile
To The Never-ending Pull
Of The Steepening Grade
That's Before You
A Valley, A Forest, A Desert, A Stream
With An Oversized Bridge
For The Trickle There Beneath
You Remember The Torrent
It Turned To Last Spring
From The Snows Melting Fast
And The River It Became
In The Summer
Perhaps It Is Ruined
From A Fire That Has Scorched It
So Badly That Nothing
Will Grow Without Rain
To Wash Away The Blackened Soil
Now Useless Till Called Upon Again
In A Future As Twisted And Far Away
As The Next Range Of Mountains
So Take It As Far As You See
And Beyond
With Eyes You Don't Use Enough
Gather Up Strength
As Thoroughfare Gap
Will Await You Forever
You're Seeking To Get There
For Even Before
It's No Matter
No Distance
It's The Ride

Have you got a feelin' botherin' you like a bumble bee
Give yourself room for breathin' love you 'til you're fit to be
Tied...do you need a place to hide
Can you be believin' what they told you yesterday
Looks can be deceivin', you look like you're runnin' away
Why...if you don't stop you'll die
Everyone lookin' at my girl
Everyone thinkin'bout my girl. So tough
Everyone birdoggin' at my girl
You can take her if you got enough
You better fly
The love gangster gonna make y'cry
Policeman on the corner another one down the street
Kinda makes you wonder what you gonna do with your feet
An' it ain't no lie...everybody gonna need a place to hide
Yes...the love gangster gonna make you cry
(Bob Dylan)
Hollis Brown he lived on the outside of town
Hollis Brown he lived on the outside of town
With his wife and five children
And his cabin broken down
He looked for work and money and he walked a ragged mile
He looked for work and money and he walked a ragged mile
His children are so hungry they've
Forgotten how to smile
Your babies' eyes are crazy they're a tuggin' at your sleeve
Your babies' eyes are crazy they're a tuggin' at your sleeve
You walk the floor and wonder why
With every breath you breathe
Rats got to your flour bad blood it got your mare
Rats got to your flour bad blood it got your mare
Is there anyone that knows
Is there anyone that cares
Way out in the wilderness a cold coyote calls
Way out in the wilderness a cold coyote calls
Your eyes fix on the shotgun
That's a hangin' on the wall
Your brain is a bleedin' and your legs can't seem to stand
Your brain is a bleedin' and your legs can't seem to stand
Your eyes fix on the shotgun
That you're holdin' in your hand
There's seven breezes blowin' all around a cabin door
There's seven breezes blowin' all around a cabin door
Seven shots ring out
Like the ocean's pounding roar
There's seven people dead on a South Dakota farm
There's seven people dead on a South Dakota farm
Somewhere in the distance
There's seven new people born
Lookout mama
Its comin to you
I can't tell you
What you gonna do
Rock and roll crazies
Get you right down
Make you feel so tough
Your feet leave the ground
Lookout mama don't you go too far >
Don't you get hung up bein' no rock and roll star > chorus
You find out it's easy to lose your way >
Catch yourself practicin' bein' shallow every day yeah >
Don't wanna tell you
How to run your scene
I only can tell you
What happened to me
Keep you eyes open
Keep a clear head
The woman inside you
Might wind up dead
chorus --
Girl I love you-oo-ooh
Yes I was taken
After it'd been a while
Wondered was I mistaken
Only my foolish pride
Sensibilities shakin'
Picking up piece by piece
You say I was shaken
Musica latina es cuban bluegrass
If I could thank you now
Feeling musch smoother
If I could just be here
Make it much cooler
Dale su alma bien
Por la descarga
Nada importa pues
En lo que hagas
I met you in the strangest way
Into a night of crazy smiling faces
Had it been another day, the sound of a thousand voices wailing dismay
Having seen no other way,
We looked at each other once
And felt the love begin, love begin
'Cause you know there's a ring of love surrounding you and me
Ring of love in perfect harmony
Ring of love surrounding you and me
All the way
I've never met anyone ever could touch me so all the way
You know you're the first one to make me believe in something
People are full of lies
Always willing to compromise
Their love and their tomorrow
Such a sorrow, sorrow
The world is ours if we can cope
We don't have to lose the faith
That gave us this much hope
Let us blow with the wind
To seek out the fountain of life
And all its miracles, its miracles
'Cause you know there's a ring of love surrounding you and me
Ring of love in perfect harmony
Ring of love surrounding you and me
All the way
I've never met anyone ever could touch me so all the way
You know you're the first one to make me believe in something
People are full of lies
Always willing to compromise
Their love and their tomorrow
Such a sorrow, sorrow
'Cause you know there's a ring of love surrounding you and me
Ring of love in perfect harmony
Ring of love surrounding you and me
When You Were Young And On Your Own
How Did It Feel To Be Alone
I Was Always Thinkin' Of Games That I Was Playin'
Tryin' To Make The Best Of My Time
But Only Love Can Break Your Heart
Try To Be Sure Right From The Start
Yes Only Love Can Break Your Heart
What If Your World Should Fall Apart
I Have A Friend I've Never Seen
He Hides His Head Inside A Dream
Someone Should Call Him And See If He Can Come Out
Try To Lose The Down That He's Found
But Only Love Can Break Your Heart
Try To Be Sure Right From The Start
Yes Only Love Can Break Your Heart
What If Your World Should Fall Apart
And So My Friend If You Have Seen
The Other Side Of All Those Dreams
Know That You Can Take It As Far As You Would Want To
Don't Believe The Great Run Around
But Only Love Can Break Your Heart
Try To Be Sure Right From The Start
Yes Only Love Can Break Your Heart
What If Your World Should Fall Apart
I Have A Friend I've Never Seen
He Hides His Head Inside A Dream
Yes, Only Love Can Break Your Heart
Yes, Only Love Can Break Your Heart
Yes, Only Love Can Break Your Heart
Yes, Only Love Can Break Your Heart
Yes, Only Love Can Break Your Heart
Yes, Only Love Can Break Your Heart
by C. Hardin and N. Petty
I'm gonna tell you how it's gonna be
Come home and bring your love to me
My love for you has got to be real
All of these years and how I feel
I've been lovin' you night and day
My love is real not fade away
Can't you see that there's a good reason
For bein' together just to be pleasin'
Stompin', shoutin' and carryin' on
Just you and me baby we could have more fun
All we need is a sunny day
Love a love not fade away
Love a love not fade away
My love is real not fade away
Love a love not fade away
My love is real not fade away
Nobody else could be your man
I'm still walkin so I know I can
My love is bigger than a cadillac
Tried to chauffeur but you drove me back
Got to be with you when night turns to day
My love is real not fade away
My love is real not fade away
My love is real not fade away
My love is real not fade away
(Love a love not fade away)

There's no hiding place down here
There's no hiding place down here
I ran to the rocks to hid my face
The rocks said there's no hiding place
There's no hiding place down here
Did you hear the sport
On the TV holding forth
About war, nukes and victory
He was dreaming of course but he runs the Air Force
And he's talking about World War Three
There's no hiding place down here
There's no hiding place down here
I ran to the rocks to hid my face
The rocks said there's no hiding place
There's no hiding place down here
Then of course we got the clowns
With the plan that they got down
Keep the world paralyzed in fear
Keep the peace keep the strength
And the Rooskies on the brink
More and better, bigger faster missiles here
There's no hiding place down here
There's no hiding place down here
I ran to the rocks to hid my face
The rocks said there's no hiding place
There's no hiding place down here
With no hand upon your fate
All the prophets do await
Either ending or ten thousand years
You can do just as you will
You can live or you can kill
There's no hiding place down here
There's no hiding place down here
There's no hiding place down here
I ran to the rocks to hid my face
The rocks said there's no hiding place
There's no hiding place down here
So before it's too late
Let there be no mistake
There ain't no hiding place down here
Only faith is not absurd
In the Master's chosen words
There's no hiding place down here
There's no hiding place down here
There's no hiding place down here
I ran to the rocks to hid my face
The rocks said there's no hiding place
There's no hiding place down here
This is my favorite set of changes
Already good for a couple of songs
Thought I might play them one more time
And over again
Makes me go back to the trouble I got into
Tryin' to live up to what they said I lucked into
At twenty-five
And this part reminds me of my lady
She loves me she's waitin' at home
And the baby she's makin'
I tell you it's frightenin'
How she trusts me so
And all of the sad times the bitter taste
Left by the struggle to grow
Must my baby know the blues
So if you're still listenin'
I hope you'll remember
The kid with the big white guitar
And all the sad stories to tell
I think it's high time
I went home she'll be worryin'
And missin' me so
How long can I let it drive
Me crazy this music won't
Let me go
But here I stand tryin' so hard to find
One more clever line
For this song of mine
But I can't seem to find
Anything that will rhyme
With my favorite changes
by Stephen Stills
Feel such misery and I don't know why
Feel so bad I'm surprised I'm not
condemned to die
I never thought that heartbreak
could bring such pain.
Guess that's what it's like when you
see different things
And I'm a-lowdown
Get me out of this place
And I'm lowdown
Like a hole in space
And I'm lowdown
Spirit movin' at a dreadful pace
Slowly dyin' I can see it in my face
Sadness and anger all that keeps me goin'
Tired of nothin' but my outsides showin'
And I'm lowdown
Dying embers of a fire
Sputtering tears of a lost desire
Hangin' on to hope that just might be
But I feel like I'm hangin' from a dyin' tree
And I'm lowdown
And I'm lowdown lowdown
Get me out of this place
And I'm lowdown lowdown
Like a hole in space
And I'm lowdown and I'm lowdown

Love is a secret
That everyone knows
Love is a chime that rings
When the wind blows
Keep yourself honest
So it can grow
'Cause when you've lost it
Your heart turns cold
Isn't it so?
I remember the first girl
That I really loved
However it hurt her
She loved me enough
I wanted to wander
She knew I would go
She shed a tear knowin'
That I'd be alone
Wasn't it so?
Painfully I was most aware how
Very unfair it was
Leavin' her suddenly just like that
Goin' God knows where I was
Chasing a rainbow
She understood
She was a prophet
She told me I should
Follow my heart
Like I'd been told
Seek out your vision
Before you get old
Isn't it so?
Now many years later
I finally see
How much she did love me
She set me free
Her last few dollars
Put gas in my car
She said "Promise to write me
Wherever you are"
From out on the highway
I think I wrote twice
I always remembered
Her simple advice
Love is a secret
That everyone knows
Try too hard to hide it
It never will show
Isn't it so
How did she know?
i don't get it
maybe it's me but i don't understand what it is that you're so uptight
could it be i been thinking about what you said to me if i heard it right
i don't believe that you really believe what you're saying at all tonight
i don't get it....
what is this all about
i don't get
suddenly my love in doubt
i don't get
wondering can we work it out
i don't get it
i been paying attention and tried my best but i cannot follow
and i have to admit that it's too strange a script for me to swallow
can't swallow that
do i know i am only an echo out of the deepest hollow
i don't get it...
in all honesty
i don't get it
none of this is about me
i don't get it
why you live in misery
i don't get it
i don't get it...
wondering what you think i see
i don't get it
cos everything's wrong with me
i don't get it
this ain't no way to be
i don't get it
acccording to you there's nothing that's true about how we love each other
hearing about so much you all rather touch and we can go no further
stop
baby i know that you're hurting but i got to sit here and watch you suffer
i don't get it....
we got a love to live
i don't get it
whatever else this is
i don't get it
now it ain't happening
i don't get it
used to have so much fun
i don't get it
now you just changed and run
i don't get it
confusing to everyone
i don't get it
i can't get it
i don't get it
People find love the way they do
Ain't the same for any two
If you think you get to choose, there's heartbreak
It takes paying attention to divine intervention
Trust the decision your heart makes
In the tropical moonlight where the air feels like velvet
Only someone to share it was missing
My heart was feeling bolder, would she turn a deaf shoulder
My mind getting older by the minute
It was hard to sit & wait, look at the stars, ponder my fate
Is to fear was it too late for the risking
Now we've had a few years, we're working out our fears
Lots of laughter & tears & growing
We left room to be ourselves, got the hand we'd been dealt
And there's nobody else need know it
People find love the way they do
Ain't the same for any two
We get chosen, we don't choose at the heart's gate
If you're paying attention to divine intervention
Comes a glorious ascension you both make
At the heart's gate.
why not feed the people everywhere
and let the peace begin?
turn your swords to ploughshares everywhere
and feed the people
when they borrow in third world countries people need to be fed
so explain this to politicians while we send them guns instead
of the seeds that they're planting in the ground
making their own way
self sufficient without permission from the good old usa
but it seems they owe us a lot of money
and do you know what for?
cause the friends of senator arrogant made a killing on this civil war
chorus
it is hard to raise an army when your children are all fed
they got no motivation for making other people dead
even with governmentt persuasion of the most compelling kind
give them a choice they'll be looking at you as if you'd lost your mind
but then all of this craziness
it will not go away
till we stop feeding hatred with embargoes and blockades
why take the time to worry
about anybody else?
maybe talk about them
wonder how they felt
caught in the cross fire of someone else's fight
what is wrong?
nobody's right
all religions and ideologies
suffer from the truth
until lies become reality
when the people start to shoot
got a whole lot to answer for
but who are we to judge?
common sense and enough to eat
can settle any grudge
when the kindness of strangers
it means no disrespect
being honest with the help you give
means there's nothing to expect
chorus
(Fred Neil)
Everybody's talkin' at me
Can't hear a word they're sayin'
Only the echoes of my mind
People stoppin', starin'
I can't see their faces
Only the shadows of their eyes
Goin' where the sun keeps shinin'
In the pouring rain
Goin' where the weather suits my clothes
Banking off a northeast wind
Sailin' on a summer's breeze
Skipping over the ocean
Like a stone
Everybody's talkin' at me
Can't hear a word they're sayin'
Only the echoes of my mind
People stoppin', starin'
I can't see their faces
Only the shadows of their eyes
Goin' where the sun keeps shinin'
In the pouring rain
Goin' where the weather suits my clothes
Banking off a northeast wind
Sailin' on a summer's breeze
Skipping over the ocean
Like a stone
And you know I'll never leave my love behind
New York City years ago
Tourists in the rain
Singin' on the swing shift
For pennies
Thinkin'bout the bayou
Cajun river song
Almost got my head broke
In Texas
Purple Peacock Honky-Tonk
Eunice, Louisiana
Bourbon whiskey free, son,
Just tune up the piano
Workin' clubs in New Orleans
Bringin' down a dollar
College boys drink beer
And throw the bottles
It's been a long long long way >
I got some more to go >
Don't look at my shadow >
Its behind me > chorus
It's been a long long long way >
In twenty years or so >
Thinkin'bout those times >
Might amuse me >
L.A. Forum Sports Arena
Twenty thousand fans
Glas ya come to listen I'm gomma
Give you everything I can
I always had to play my music
Play it best I could
Hope you in the stands
Can hear me good
California dreamin' nearly put me down for good
Colorado Rocky Mountains saved my senses
chorus --
Do you know me
Can you tell me so
Do you know how my
Motivations grow
And it's all right
That's something you ought to know about me
Are you into being on the line
Facing people one at a time
And it's all right
That's something you ought to know about me
You ought to know me
Well enough by now
Watching me growing
You are the why and the how
Ev'rything you show me
Making it so we need each other more and more
I'm not exactly altogether sure
That I could handle being left here all alone
I got a house honey
I need a home Yeah
We were speaking in diff'rent tongues
Still it mattered
We did what then was done
It's still all right
That's something you ought to know about me
Do you trust me
Do you trust yourself
Do you know when it's time to ask for help
It's all right
That's something you ought to know
'Cause it has to do with growing
That's something you ought to know about me
Can I tell a people story, it ain't too long.
There's very few that can face each other or themselves alone.
Circlin', round and about, no way out, no way in.
Circlin', hasslin' doubt when you know you can, well all right.
Feet, where are you goin', you're just circlin'.
The meaning of a runaround is a circle game.
Tellin' lies and bein' jive with the one you love hurts the same.
Circlin', round and about, no way out, no way in.
Circlin', hasslin' doubt when you know you can, well all right.
Feet, where are you goin', you're just circlin'.
Go on, do it, straight ahead.
Do what you know, the best you can, it's good for your head.
Think about all the times you just up and ran.
So go on, you got to try, give yourself a hand.
Circlin', round and about, no way out, no way in.
Circlin', hasslin' doubt when you know you can, well all right.
Feet, where are you goin', you're just circlin'.
Do you know that time is only water that we drink.
Washing under bridges all eventually they gonna sink.
Circlin', round and about, no way out, no way in.
Circlin', hasslin' doubt when you know you can, well all right.
Feet, where are you goin', you're just circlin'.
The Pain Of Losing You Well It Made Me An Angry Man
Was There Something Else That I Could Do? Or Was It Over?
Had I The Chance?
So I Listened Once Again To My Bluebird Sing
Oh Yes And Children How She Made The Mountains Ring
Now When Hearts Be Stilled That Gentle Voice Is Spring
Oh My Precious My Soul Says To My Blue Eyed Sparrow
Come Back, Come Back. I Can Peal Away The Cages
Come Back, Come Back. I Can Put Away The Rages
Come Back, Come Back. Can We Turn The Next Page Together?
Listen To My Bluebird Laugh She Can Tell You Why
Deep Within Her Heart You See She Knows Only Cryin'
There She Sits Aloft At Perch Strangest Color Blue
Flying Is Forgotten Now Thinks Only Of You
Get Into All Those Blues Must Be A Thousand Years
And Each Is Differently Used You Just Know
You Sit There Mesmerized By The Depth Of Her Eyes
I Can Tell You No Lies
She's Got Soul, She's Got Soul She's Got Soul, She's Got Soul
She's Got Soul
Soon She's Goin' To Fly Away Sadness is Her Own
Give Herself A Bath Of Tears And Go Home
So I Listened Once Again To My Bluebird Sing
Oh Yes And Children How She Made The Mountains Ring
Now When Hearts Be Stilled That Voice Is Spring
Oh My Precious My Soul Says To My Blue Eyed Sparrow
Fly Back Home, Fly Back Home, Fly Back Home

ain't no dream too high
ain't no dream out of touch
anywhere around us
anywhere around us
anywhere around us, anywhere
anywhere around us
anywhere around us
(Stephen Stills)
When I was young and needed my time alone
Jump in the pirogue, pole down the Bayou
Bogafalaya River was dark and cold
Seven years old, I couldn't find my way home
chorus:
Old times, good times
Old times, good times
When I was twelve, I learned how to play the guitar
Got myself a job in a jax beer bar
Got myself together, went to New Orleans
Found myself workin' for rice and beans
chorus
New York City was so damned cold
I had to get out of that town before I got old
California, rock and roll dream
Got too high and we blew our whole scene
But we had a good time
So you're goin' out on your own
And you're finally leaving home
You?ll be alright
Just watch out for your spirit
You're gonna find that you're alone
Makin' choices of your own
Like a ship at sea
Your life goes where you steer it
It's a wounded world
Full of love and lies
It's a wounded world
But you cannot be denied
If you mean it when you try
In this wounded world
Sometimes, hurtin' bad
You're ready to give up
Can't help, can't believe
You know, you, used you like a drug
We had similar adventures
Never closed the door
Part of me is part of you
I can't tell you any more
'Bout this wounded world
I don't mean to sound so cynical
But it truly is a miracle
That your heart turned out so good
Midst all this game child
Put your faith in them that earn it
With your love you will discern it
But don't judge nobody, never out of anger
Well, it's a wounded world
Full of love and lies
It's a wounded world
But you cannot be denied
When you mean it, if you try
In this wounded world
If you smile at me, I will understand
'Cause that is something
Everybody everywhere does in the same language
I can see by your coat
You're from the other side
There's just one thing I got to know
Can you tell me please, who won the silly war?
Say, "Can I have some of your purple berries?
Yes, I've been eating them for six or seven weeks now
Haven't got sick once
Probably keep us both alive
Wooden ships on the water, very free and easy
Easy, you know the way it's supposed to be
Silver people on the shoreline, let us be
Talkin' 'bout very free and easy
Horror grips us as we watch you die
All we can do is echo your anguished cries
Stare as all human feelings die
We are leaving, you don't need us
Go, take your sister then by the hand
Lead her away from this foreign land
Far away, where we might laugh again
We are leaving, you don't need us
And it's a fair wind, blowin' warm
Out of the south over my shoulder
(Stephen Stills)
We are not helpless, we are men
What lies between us
It can be set aside and ended
Ev'ryday we learn more how to hate
Shut the door
And then we tell ourselves we can't relate
Only to the ones who are the same
Yet even they are diff'rent
And ever so they shall remain
All are strangers, all are friends
All are brothers, brothers
Open up, my friend, and learn to hear
For even lying
When it has nothing you should fear
If you cannot let yourself be known
By anyone
Then you are hiding and not whole
All are strangers, all are friends
All are brothers, brothers
We, your children, we would ask you all
Please do not hide your eyes
And listen when we call
We will whisper, shout or make a scene
We are the answer
For we can live the peace we dream
All are strangers, all are friends
All are brothers, oh yeah, oh yeah
Yes, America's children
Are askin' ev'rybody some questions about how it is
Yes, America's children
Are makin' it hard to look them in the eyes
America's children
Are makin' it hard to live lies, you know, whoa, it is
And America's children
Are diggin' that ev'rywhere children
Are diggin' we live on the earth
We live on the earth, we live on the earth right now
Yes, and it's right on, children of the earth, and it's right on
Children of the earth, and it's right on
Children of the earth and it's right on, right on, yeah
This is what has made our nation free
For life is change
And only blind men cannot see
The new order is upon us now
It is the children
They have the wisdom to be free
All are strangers, all are friends
Alone with my guitar
Living on a mountain
Far away
I saw girl
Gypsy woman deepest in the world
When she moved it was a dance
We hid ourselves
And I had no chance
For the treasure of the oneness
That like sand becomes a diamond
Before the wind
And while I changed my strings
A rocky mountain woman
Came to town to sing
Took my heart and ran
When she bade me follow
I just took her hand
I began my journey to the east
A country boy searching for my peace
In the treasure of the oneness
That like sand becomes a diamond
Before the wind
I sit in deep reflection
There are no answers
To my questions
Where did they go
And which one took my heart
Which one took my soul
I may never see it clearly there comes another
Now she turns to beckon me with the Devil's key
The treasure of the oneness
Then becomes sand and lies there naked
-------------
You can do what you want to do
You can be who you want to be
Just remember that me and you
Ain't all there is
To bein' free
People need love
People need trust
People need one another
And that means us
My sugar babe
Believe me sugar babe
Everyone knows it ain't easy
But when you get it all together in your heart
It's the easiest thing to do to be pleasin'
Folks ain't made to live apart
People need love
People need trust
People need one another
And that means us
Sugar babe
Let yourself be open honey learn to bend
Remember everyone gets scared,
But I'm still your best friend
When you forget about yourself,
And think of things to do
To make me happy then you love me girl
Like I love you
How do turtles talk to one another
They just look, there's no reason to cower
Just like people they're drawn to each other
They don't live in no ivory tower
People need love
People need trust
People need one another
And that means us
My sugar babe
Come on now sugar babe
You know you hear me sugar babe
Come on sweet Rita
You're my sugar babe
Believe me sugar babe
So close, then again so far away
Where are the answers, I hear them everyday
Lovin' you from a distance never did make it anyway
So close, then again so far away
Here come little Miss Bright eyes
Socking it to me everyday
I got to get next to the girl
And so begins the task
I have dreaded the coming of
For so long
I wait for the sun
To remind my body
It needs restin'
And I must learn to without you now
I must learn to give only part some how
Camping on the edge
Of your city I wait
Hoping someday
You might
Beyond yourself
The shadows on the ceiling
Hard
But not real
Like the bars that cage
You within yourself
And I must learn to without you now
I must learn to give only part some how
And I must learn to without you now
As I cannot learn to give only part some how
All of these cages
Must
And shall be set aside
They will only
Keep
Us from the knowing
Actors
And stages
Now fall before the truth
As th love
Shared
Between us
Remains
...Growing
And I must learn to without you now
(Stephen Stills)
When I get restless, what can I do?
When I need someone I think about you
I got to move on, not fade away
I'm only just growing a little each day
chorus:
(Hold it) I got to quit this runnin' 'round
(Hold it) Never gonna get rid of these blues
(Hold it) I got to find somebody to love
Slow me down, yeah
My, what a time (Look out now)
Sit yourself down, take a look around
Sit yourself down, take a look around
Sit yourself down, take a look around
Sit yourself down, take a look around
When I get older, mellowed down
Get myself settled on a patch of ground
Takin' it easy, live everyday
Me and the raven, we make our way
chorus
The last time I spoke to her
She couldn't talk to me
The script she read was very strange
But who did she see
A few lines from a bad dream
A frozen memory
Darkness remains the fate
Of such...illusion
Can you not wait
On what...can...be
Who was it cast the mold
The girl that I once knew
Such a carefully chosen pose
But what will the emptiness do
One of my best friends took her down
With his games for sure
Hearts made of stone
Cannot break again
I hope he understands
I hope he is secure
Old fashioned feelings
The new way of dealing
With love I see
These time were meant for me
No no no no no...
The past isn't anymore
The future only has in store
And round and round and round it goes
And where it stops nobody knows
As far as I can tell
The only game in town is going down
And only happens
If you're down and confused
And you can't remember who you're talkin' to
Concentration slips away
'Cuz your baby is so far away
Well there's a rose in a fisted glove
And the eagle flies with the dove
And if you can't be with the one you love
Honey love the one you're with
Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with
Don't be angry, don't be sad
Don't sit cryin' of about the good times you had
There's a girl right next to you
And she's just waiting for something to do
There's a rose in a fisted glove
And the eagle flies with the dove
And if you can't be with the one you love
Honey love the one you're with
Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with
Turn your heartaches run into joy
She's a girl and you're a boy
Get it together, make it nice
Ain't gonna need anymore advice
There's a rose in a fisted glove
And the eagle flies with the dove
And if you can't be with the one you love
Honey love the one you're with
Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with
---------------------
Live in a dream, you've got everything you need
But it still hurts inside
The way she led you to believe
All those vicious lies
She told you some things
Same lines she's told me before
She'll win your trust
Then she'll walk over you
Leave your soul lying in the dust
I know it's so hard to believe
The same thing happened to me
You'll just have to see for yourself
That woman, she thinks of herself
And nobody else
I finally got mine, and now I'm gone
I hope you get yours
'Cause it won't be wrong
---------------------
Know you got to run
Know you got to hide
Don't know who to follow
Who is on your side
Don't know where you're going
You won't talk of where you've been
And I may see you tomorrow
Never more again
Seen you in the city
Seen you on the road
Your face is all a twisted
'Cause your brain's a heavy load
Then you turn and ask me
How did I ever know
Talk about your searchin'
Well I think it's all for show
Heard your mournful song
Heard your baleful cry
Seen the light of hunger
Lingering deep within your eyes
Talk about your sinkin'
What a hole you're in
You expect for me to love you
When you hate yourself my friend
And you got yourself a potion
For to keep you from your sleep
In the dark and lonely hour
I heard you laugh and weep
You'll always be runnin'
Until you find your doom
Never face your lonely soul
Never face the gloom
Know you got to run
Know you got to hide
Don't know who to follow
Who is on your side
Don't know where you're going
You won't talk of where you've been
And I may see you tomorrow
----------------------------------
There is a stranger where I once knew you
There is a dangerous energy flows through you
I don't know what to say
Just get out of the way
And remind you
This just isn't like you
I wouldn't pay no mind 'cept for the voices
Telling you I won't mind you makin' my choices
Not wishing to be unkind
But you are out of line
Need I remind you
This just isn't like you
And I must confess to bein' heart broken
That you would still insist I been jokin'
When I am always there
As you are well aware
Doesn't it strike you
There's a place
I can get to
Where I'm safe
>From the city blues
And its green
And its quiet
Only trouble was
I had to buy it
And I'll do anything I got to do >
Cut my hair and shine my shoes > chorus
And keep on singin' the blues >
If I can stay here in Johnny's garden >
As the swift bird
Flies over the grasses
Dipping now and then
To take his breakfast
Thus I come and go
And I travel
And I can watch that bird
And unravel
chorus --
With his love
And his carin'
He puts his life
Into beauty sharin'
And his children
Are his flowers
There to give us peace
In quiet hours
Fallin' and spinnin'
Losin' and winnin'
Keepin' my head
Watchin' for signals
Wearisome vigil
Was I misled
I remember you said that you
Don't want to forget me
It doesn't matter
Which of our fantasies fled
Every tomorrow
Lookin' to borrow
A piece of today
Run a bit faster
Here comes the catcher
Makin' his play
You had better not stay
You will soon be surrounded
It doesn't matter
Which of our fantasies fade
Lonely and winsome
Calling for someone
Living right now
Something is shallow
Ugly and hollow
Doesn't even allow
You to want to know how you might
Live for the living and
Give for the giving.
Moment by moment
One day at a time
It doesn't matter
---------------------------
Love is a secret
That everyone knows
Love is a chime that rings
When the wind blows
Keep yourself honest
So it can grow
'Cause when you've lost it
Your heart turns cold
Isn't it so?
I remember the first girl
That I really loved
However it hurt her
She loved me enough
I wanted to wander
She knew I would go
She shed a tear knowin'
That I'd be alone
Wasn't it so?
Painfully I was most aware how
Very unfair it was
Leavin' her suddenly just like that
Goin' God knows where I was
Chasing a rainbow
She understood
She was a prophet
She told me I should
Follow my heart
Like I'd been told
Seek out your vision
Before you get old
Isn't it so?
Now many years later
I finally see
How much she did love me
She set me free
Her last few dollars
Put gas in my car
She said "Promise to write me
Wherever you are"
From out on the highway
I think I wrote twice
I always remembered
Her simple advice
Love is a secret
That everyone knows
Try too hard to hide it
It never will show
Isn't it so
I was again in Florida
Cruisin' with my crowd
Over by Datona we done heard
The most awesome sound
Went out to the speedway
What was this about?
The meanest looking cars you ever seen
Running flat out
Drivin' thunder
Rollin' down the race track
Drivin' thunder
You can't ever relax
All set up to go
Just one way to go
Stick your foot in it
Clear to the floorboard
Me I got right in it
Inside them old boys' head
Do I need a splash of gas?
How much time do I have left?
The car is feelin' good now
I got my quickest line
Stickin' back just loosen up
Took 4 seconds off the best lap time
Drivin' thunder
Rollin' down the race track
Drivin' thunder
Can't ever relax
All set up to go
Just one way to go
Stick your foot in it
Clear to the floorboard
Drivin' thunder, drivin' thunder
Drivin' thunder, drivin' thunder
Don't ever look back
Drivin' thunder, drivin' thunder
12 seconds pit stop
The rubber and the fills
A crew that good deserves
A display of my driving skills
Draggin' on the leader
Like a bird of prey
I got too much car for him
Gonna slingshot and win this race
'Cause you got drivin' thunder
Rollin' down the race track, yeah
Drivin' thunder
Can't ever relax
All set up to go
Just one way to go
Stick your foot in it
Clear to the floorboard
Drivin' thunder, drivin' thunder
Drivin' thunder, drivin' thunder
Drivin' thunder, drivin' thunder

Standin' by a snow drift in the pale moonlight
Hitchhikin' west on a highway at night
Tryin' to get to Frisco lookin' for my girl
Here comes a trucker, hope he don't mind my long curls
I remember years ago hitchin' this same road
Never saw a trucker leave a man out in the cold
No riders sign on the window never meant a thing
Nowadays they just roll on lookin' kind of mean
Kind of makes me wonder, scratch my head and kick the snow
Four years of overseas who are these strangers in my home
Where are the country people does anybody know
Do you remember the Americans where did they go
(Stephen Stills)
Round, round, up and down
All along the lonely town
See him sinkin' low
Doesn't see the joy there is to know
chorus:
And he cries from the misery
And he lies singin' harmony
She is gone there is no tomorrow
It is done so now here must borrow
The life of his brothers
And living in sorrow
Must do for the others
A chill wind hits his face
Was that a tear I thought I saw a trace?
Loving people everywhere
Where is she? She is not there
I am a man I live alone
Don't much bother me. It won't be long
Come a woman who wants to be near
Me and my mountains, we'll be right here
Colorado
Way back east in the dirt and smog
Courted a woman she had a job
Didn't want to leave her adopted home
Guess she was afraid of bein' alone in
Colorado
Way out yonder in tinsel land
Look around hard you might find a real man
Dark-eyed country girl, tears in her eyes
Needs the music of the wind in the pines
Colorado
Many's the time that I've gone astray
The things I'm thinkin' I seldom say
Guess I'm waitin' for that special girl
The one who loves me and loves my world
Colorado
-----------------------------
When I was a young man long ago
I fell in love so hard you know
She was strong, she was pretty
Such a pity
New York City took my love away
Yes it did
Chances are we're better off you know
This guitar man's life goes on the show
She was strong, she was pretty
Such a pity
City junkies cannot taste the day
So the sunken people waste away
She was strong, she was pretty
Yes she was
(Stephen Stills)
You see, it's my thing
To be part of someone
As a true friend is part of me
You know that there's so much
Oh, little girl, we've got to tell each other
About the whole world
And most especially one another, oh yeah, all right
And you know, and you know?
chorus:
And it's hard, yes it is
It's hard, yes it is
And I wonder
I wonder could it be a dream?
And you know that the self made man, babe
Is truly shallow
He knows he's no one
But who he wants to be
So while you still sing, baby
You got to tell me, baby
Is it your thing to be part of anyone?
Anyone, anyone
chorus (x2)
And it's hard, yes it is
It's hard, yes it is
And I wonder
I wonder if it's a dream
--------------------------------------
Don't put your business in the street
Your brothers and sisters is about all you need
No tellin' who you might meet
It might make you sad, make you feel mad
Make you blue, what are you gonna do
The biggest fool of all is me
I play the music for the music you see
For money I do publicity
So I can buy guitars, put a studio in the backyard
You know what it costs me to find another key
And when you get a little bit older
You're carryin' too much weight on your shoulder
Share your heavy load come on over
So we go and see, what you're gonna be
Don't try too hard, don't you break your heart
Oh yes, wrong, right
I'm tellin' ya, tell me
Gonna be all right
Why can't you hear me
Why can't you see me
How can you be so blind to this feelin' in my heart
Time is a'waistin'
What have I tasted
Can you turn a deaf ear to my call
Both of us bound to lose
Why do we have to choose
Both of us bound to lose
Now can you hear me
Now can you see me
How do you like the fool when he's down
Is that really how you see me
Just a statue making sounds
The Fallen Eagle
Sing to the fallen eagle
Helicopters fly
Chase him 'round the mountains
Chase him 'til he dies
They say that it's good sportin'
Shootin' him on the wing
Above the roar and clatter
You can hear your rifle sing
his death song
it won't be long
Sing to the western rancher
The eagle takes his lamb
He's got a thousand others
He don't give a damn
Get up with the sunrise
Everybody gather 'round
Kill him with the first shot
He'll turn and bring you down
down down
crash on the ground
Sing to the noble eagle
Help is on the way
A government team of experts
Is a'rushin' to your aid
I know your not excited
An eagle is no waif
Fly on up to Canada
This country isn't safe
anymore
(Jimi the Fox, The Owl and Skydog)
Blues man
Play your hand
Do it right
Come on strong
Don't stay too long
Runnin' wild
Singin' child
Powered sound
Push you hard
Lookin' to get down
Such a waste
Y'left such a space
I shared your dreams
I felt your heart
Did I hear you scream
Runnin' scared
Y'run everywhere
Could not choose
Where to hide
Play the blues
Played it mad
Played it sad
Blues is pain
The way men cry
Like tired rain
Blues is mean
The real thing
Three good men
I knew well
(Stephen Stills)
spoken:
This is a song about a card game
Black queen, holding hearts
Black queen, tear the game apart
Black queen, don't you know?
Can't beat aces all in a row, black queen, no you can't
Have mercy black queen
Don't you go mess with the black queen, no
Black queen, see the whole hand
Black queen, where's your black man?
Black queen, if he ain't in the hole
Black queen, you got some more to show me, black queen
Oh, get on me black queen
Oh, Lord, have mercy, black queen
She's called to beat me clean
Black queen, where's your bank roll?
Black queen, where did it go?
Black queen, the truth is hard
Hey girl how's by you
Sing your rock and roll
Sing your blues
I'm all right I pay my dues
I got 'em comin' to me
You got 'em comin' to you
I'm gonna try again >
Don't matter if I win or lose > chorus
Gonna try again anyway >
But I know you
You gonna be so cool
Ain't gonna try no sweetp???in'
I ain't no fool
Cause I know you love me girl
Just like I love you
Got my feet on the ground
And I know what I got to do
chorus --
Do you know where you're goin'
Honey where have you been
Do you see the games they're playin'
Do you really believe do can win
--------------------------
Amazonia
Amazonia
From the heart of Amazonia
Comes the very air we breathe
But the people there are poor
Can't see the forest for the trees
In the time it takes to sing this song
Another acre's gone
Gotta save the Amazonia
Before all of it is gone
Amazonia
Amazonia
With so many people hungry
All those children there to feed
No use blaming the Sinterras
They've got families
Finding other ways to prosper
Realize the damage done
Educate them with an answer
And take care of everyone
In Amazonia
Amazonia
Amazonia
Simple answers are much harder
To accomplish than the rest
And there's always someone getting hurt
When you have to do what's best
So put your imagination
And your shoulder to the task
Save the rain forest from ourselves
