"Hippie Dream"

"Hippie Dream"

Take my advice
Don't listen to me
It ain't paradise
But it used to be
There was a time
When the river was wide
And the water
came running down
To the rising tide
But the wooden ships
Were just a hippie dream
Just a hippie dream.

Don't bat an eye
Don't waste a word
Don't mention nothin'
That could go unheard
'Cause the tie-dye sails
Are the screamin' sheets
And the dusty trail
Leads to blood
in the streets
And the wooden ships
Are a hippie dream
Capsized in excess
If you know what I mean.

Just because
it's over for you
Don't mean
it's over for me
It's a victory
for the heart
Every time
the music starts
So please
don't kill the machine
Don't kill the machine
Don't kill the machine.

Another flower child
goes to seed
In an ether-filled
room of meat-hooks
It's so ugly
So ugly.

"Hit The Road"

"Hit The Road"

She looks so beautiful, with the top down
Let's jump inside and take a trip to town

(Let's hit the road) Let's make some miles and spend a little time
(And go to town) And when we get there we'll stop our only dime

(Let's hit the road) And go to town
(Let's hit the road) And go to town

On the freeway in the middle of the commute
Bumper to bumper in a giant cloud of fumes

(Let's hit the road) From city to city everyone is on the move
(And go to town) Try to find the energy to stay in the groove

(Let's hit the road) And go to town
(Let's hit the road) And go to town

When I'm rolling on those big round wheels
Puts me in heaven that's exactly how I feel

Just jump inside and turn the key
Your satisfaction is guaranteed

(Let's hit the road) And go to town
(Let's hit the road) And go to town

Someone's tryin' to find the peoples fuel
No fear of failure for that crazy fool

(Let's hit the road) (And go to town)
(Let's hit the road) (And go to town)

(Let's hit the road) And go to town

"Hitchhiker"

"Hitchhiker"

When I was a hitchhiker on the road
I had to count on you
But you needed me to ease the load
And for conversation too
Or did you just drive on through.

You didn't see me in Toronto
When I first tried out some hash
Smoked some then and I'll do it again
If I only had some cash
Only had some cash.

Then I tried amphetamines
And my head was in a glass
Taped underneath the speedometer wires
Of my '48 Buick's dash.
But I knew that wouldn't last.

Then came California
Where I first saw open water
In the land of opportunity
I knew I was getting hotter
I knew I was getting hotter.

But the neon lights
And the endless nights
The neon lights
And the endless nights
The neon lights
And the endless nights
The neon lights
And the endless nights
They took me by surprise
The doctor gave me valium
But I still couldn't close my eyes
I still couldn't close my eyes.

Then came paranoia
And it ran away with me
I couldn't sign my autograph
Or appear on TV
Or see or be seen
See or be seen
Or see or be seen.

Living in the country
Sounded good to me
Smoking grass while the summer lasts
In the real organic sea
Where everything was green
Everything was green.

Then we had a kid and we split apart
I was living on the road
A little cocaine went a long long way
To ease that different load
But my head did explode
My head did explode.

I wish I was an Aztec
Or a runner in Peru
I would build such beautiful buildings
To house the chosen few
Like an Inca from Peru.

When I was a hitchhiker on the road
I had to count on you
But you needed me to ease the load
And for conversation too
Or did you just drive on
Did you just drive on
Did you just drive on through.

Or did you just drive on
Did you just drive on
Did you just drive on through.

"Hold Back The Tears"

"Hold Back The Tears"

Hello, my old friend.
It's good
to see you smiling.
You've been around so long,
you must be strong.
And single life really
has its fine points,
Like friends to help you out
when things go wrong.

Hold back the tears
That you've been cryin'.
Push off the fears
When they come around.

Hold back the tears,
And keep on trying.
Just around the next corner
May be waiting your true love.

Two lying fools,
And then four cryin' eyes,
Counting on one another
to survive.
Crazy love
must surely have this pain,
If getting up
means going down again.

Hold back the tears
That you've been cryin'.
Push off the fears
When they come around.

Hold back the tears,
And keep on trying.
Just around the next corner
May be waiting your true love.

"Hold On To Your Love"

"Hold On To Your Love"

Hold on to your love
Hold on to your love
Though you may feel
tired and blue.
The things you say,
The things you dream
you might do,
Come true if you
Hold on to your love.

How long the day?
How dark the night
spent apart?
Is this the way to learn?
Go your own way
Although you may
break a heart
Don't let it start
Hold on to your love.

Hold on to your love.
Hold on to your love.

The things you say,
The things you dream
you might do,
If only you
hold on to your love.
Hold on to your love.

"Hold You In My Arms"

"Hold You In My Arms"

When I hold you in my arms
it's a breath of fresh air,
when I hold you in my arms
I forget what's out there,
All those people with their faces
walkin' up the street,
They don't have to say a thing
just look around and you see.

New buildings going up,
old buildings coming down,
New signs going up,
old signs coming down,
You gotta hold onto something in this life.

Well the older generation
they got something to say,
But they better say it fast
or get outta the way.
All those gangsters with their crimes
they make it look so good,
We've been blowing up the planet
just like the old neighbourhood.

New buildings going up,
old buildings coming down,
New signs going up,
old signs coming down,
You gotta hold onto something in this life.

If I only had a heart
it would beat all night for you,
If I only had a heart
I would cry the whole day through,
When I hold you in my arms
it's like a breath of fresh air,
when I hold you in my arms
I forget what's out there.

Old heart's going up,
old heart's coming down,
My feelings going up,
my feelings coming down,
You gotta hold onto someone in this life.

When I hold you in my arms
it's a breath of fresh air.
When I hold you in my arms
I forget what's out there.

"Homefires"

"Homefires"

I'm not the same man
I was a while ago
I've learned some new things,
I hope that it shows.

I'm free to give my love,
But you're not the one
I'm thinking of,
So for me
the wheels are turning
Got to keep
the homefires burning.

I'll walk these borders
In search of a line,
Between young lovers
Who live separate lives.

How long can this go on?
I can hear another song,
Late at night
when I've been drinking
Substitute comes at me winking.

How long can this go on?
I can hear another song,
Late at night
when I've been drinking
Substitute comes at me winking.

I'm not the same man
I was a while ago
I've learned some new things,
I hope that it shows.

I'm free to give my love,
But you're not the one
I'm thinking of.

"Homegrown"

"Homegrown"

Homegrown's
all right with me.
Homegrown
is the way it should be.
Homegrown
is a good thing.
Plant that bell
and let it ring.

The sun comes up
in the morning,
Shines that light around.
One day, without no warning,
Things start jumping up
from the ground.

Well, homegrown's
all right with me.
Homegrown
is the way it should be.
Homegrown
is a good thing.
Plant that bell
and let it ring.

"Honey, I Got The Blues"

"Honey, I Got The Blues"

Now, New York City
on a Friday night
A lot of things happenin',
a lot of bright lights.
Saw a pretty woman
all dressed in red
She turned to me
and this is what she said
She said, Honey I got the blues
I got the blues
from ridin' all night
in these high heel shoes.

Well, she took me to the corner
that she called her home
Turned around
and we were all alone.
Come on in, she said with a smile
Come on in and we can rest a while.
Well, Honey I got the blues
I got the blues
from ridin' all night
in these high heel shoes.

I said, Listen here,
honey, I been around
You ain't foolin' me, 'cause
I know what you've found.
She bent kinda low and then
she tickled my lips.
She said, Listen here, son,
I'm gonna give you a tip
Honey I got the blues
I got the blues
from ridin' all night
in these high heel shoes.

"Horseshoe Man"

"Horseshoe Man"

In the land of the broken hearted
People looking
for the horseshoe man
They've been
picking up little pieces
They've been
putting them all in his hand

And the way the story started
Two lovers long ago
Took a vow to live with hearbreak
Took a chance,
but how could they know...

...love?
How could they know love?
Love,
How could they know love?

Horseshoe man's
been working his magic
Fixing heartbreak everywhere
He's the one we all can count on
When we're lost
and don't know where love is

He takes the pieces in his hands
And shakes 'em up
like he doesn't care
He says that there
will always be heartbreak
Because love is everywhere

Love, I don't know about love
Love, I don't know...

Love don't care
if you're wrong or right
Love don't know if
you're black or white
Love ain't looking
for perfection
Love's the answer,
love's the question

Love, I don't know about love
Love, I don't know

Love, I don't know about love
Love, I don't know about love
