"Find The Cost Of Freedom"
(originally by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young)



Find the cost of freedom, buried in the ground
Mother earth will swallow you, lay your body down
Find the cost of freedom, buried in the ground
Mother earth will swallow you, lay your body down

"First Time"

"First Time"


The lights are low
And we're alone
The fire's glow
It keeps us warm
As I reach out and touch your face
The moon lights up our first embrace
But please don't hesitate
Hold my hand, don't be afraid
Of the feelings in your heart
Just close your eyes, no one will mind
If we're to fall in love this first time

Don't be afraid of love
Don't be afraid of love
Don't be afraid of love

It's the first time
The first time for love
There could be so many worlds and mountains
We could climb
Together, the two of us tonight

The two of us, we're quite a pair
These lonely nights we both can share
So don't be shy, 'cause it's okay
I understand feeling that way
Hold my hand, don't be afraid
Of the feelings in your heart
Close your eyes, no one will mind
If we're to fall in love this first time
It's the first time
The first time for love
There could be so many worlds and mountains
We could climb
Together, the two of us tonight

"Fooling Yourself (Palm Of Your Hands)"

"Fooling Yourself (Palm Of Your Hands)"


You see the world through your cynical eyes
You're a troubled young man
I can tell

You've got it all in the palm of your hands
But your hands wet with sweat
And your head needs a rest

You're fooling yourself
If you don't believe it
You're kidding yourself
If you don't believe it

"Fooling Yourself (The Angry Young Man)"

"Fooling Yourself (The Angry Young Man)"


Relax...Take it easy...

You see the world through your cynical eyes
You're a troubled young man I can tell
You've got it all in the palm of your hand
But your hand's wet with sweat and your head needs a rest

And you're fooling yourself if you don't believe it
You're kidding yourself if you don't believe it
Why must you be such an angry young man
When your future looks quite bright to me
How can there be such a sinister plan
That could hide such a lamb, such a caring young man

You're fooling yourself if you don't believe it
You're kidding yourself if you don't believe it
Get up, get back on your feet
You're the one they can't beat and you know it
Come on, let's see what you've got
Just take your best shot and don't blow it

You're fooling yourself if you don't believe it
You're killing yourself if you don't believe it
Get up, get back on your feet
You're the one they can't beat and you know it
Come on, let's see what you've got
Just take your best shot and don't blow it.

"Golden Lark"

"Golden Lark"


la la la la
la la la la
la la la la la

one day you're up
and the next day you're down
and all your dreams
pass you by

you sit in your room
with your face in a frown
waiting for her
last goodbye

and all of the wishing wells
and stars in the sky
won't make her stay any more

and all of the plans you've made
will soon wash to sea
like a lark who can't sing any more

once in awhile you remember her laugh
for she could make you feel strong
'twas then that you thought your love always would last
but now it seems you were wrong

and all of the wishing wells
and stars in the sky
won't make her stay anymore

and all of the plans you've made
will soon wash to sea
like a lark who can't sing any more
golden lark won't you sing any more

golden lark
keeps her heart
riding on the wind

she's a mystery
like a gypsy
hides her love within

golden lark
keeps her heart
riding on the wind

she's a mystery
like a gypsy
hides her love within

"Goodbye Roseland"

"Goodbye Roseland"


There was a time
When we were children
Blue skies would shine
And all was forgiven
And there were heroes to guide us
And we had family beside us
And there were dreams to believe in
Each and every day

I was your friend
Father and brother
And you were my wife
My mistress and mother
And through the good times and bad times
We shared the love of a lifetime
Oh what a shame and a damn crime
For it all to end

So goodbye to Roseland
How I wish I could stay
To live in the memory
Of your sweet sweet day

But every road that we travel has an end
And so the time now has come to say farewell old friend

Well goodbye to Roseland
I want you to know
Just how much I miss you
So I got to let go

But all the love that you gave me will remain
And every tear that I've cried has not been shed in vain

"Gravity"

"Gravity"


Gravity keeps pulling me down
Gravity keeps pulling me down
Gravity keeps pulling me down
Gravity keeps pulling me down
Gravity keeps pulling me down
Gravity keeps pulling me down
Gravity keeps pulling me down
Gravity keeps pulling me down

I want to go to Houston, I want to fly to the stars
But I may not have the "Right Stuff" to make the trip to Mars
'Cause it's so hard for me to get my weight off the ground
Yes, it's that Gravity--It keeps pulling me down

I want to climb Mount Everest, and find my Shangri-La
Learn the secrets of the Universe from the Wise Man in Nepal
But it's so hard for me--That mountain's so steep
I know my nose will bleed, 'cause Gravity don't sleep
It don't sleep...

I'm floating...I'm floating...above the crowd
No tensions...no pressures...I touch the clouds
I'm flying...I'm flying...in ecstasy
My problems can't find me...Zero Gravity

Gravity keeps pulling me down
That Gravity keeps pulling me down

I want to be a driver at the Monaco Grand Prix
Have the fastest car in Europe, and meet the Royal Family
But it's so dangerous--It's not the speed that I fear
It's just so difficult to get my motor in gear

I want to be a Millionaire, and own a baseball team
Have a private jet for shopping trips, and a chauffeured limousine
And pay no income tax, and be healthy and sound
But it's my Gravity--It keeps holding me down

"Great Expectations"

"Great Expectations"


Everybody will be watching
Just to see what can you do
They'll be waiting, anticipating
For the genius to come through
So raise the bar up
A little higher
They expect so much of you
Feel the madness accelerating
Cause you feel the same way too

Great, Great, Great Expectations

Everybody's masturbating
Wondering what you're gonna do
And all the doctors are contemplating
Can the smart ass still pull through
Mister big shot

With all the answers
One more time through the hoop for you
Light a fire
To the whole thing
Feel the flame as you go through

Great, Great, Great Expectations

Did you think that your ambition
Would ever end up in remission
Did ya
Now did ya
Did you think your sacrifices
Would turn your dreams into your vices
Now did ya
How could ya

All the cynics & the ciphers
Make you question what you do
So turn your amp up a little louder
To drown out that void in you
While the mantra keeps repeating
There are dreams you must pursue
If you just try a little harder
There ain't nothing you can't do

Great, Great, Great Expectations

"Great White Hope"

"Great White Hope"


When I was a young man, I had to kick and scratch and claw
Now it's like top gun in the Old West, everybody wants me to draw
If I had known it would be like this I might have given it a second thought
But if someone had told me to give it up, it's a line that I wouldn't have bought

Look at me
I'm the great white hope
Can't you see
I'm up against the ropes
Don't you know
It's so hard to cope
When you feel
Like the great white hope

Now you've paid your money you're sitting in your ringside seat
And I know that some of you out there, might wanna see the champ get beat
If I had known it would be like this I might have given it a second thought
But real life sure isn't like school, there's some lessons that just can't be taught

Look at me
I'm the great white hope
Can't you see
I'm up against the ropes
Don't you know
It's so hard to cope
When you feel
Like the great white hope
