"Set You Free This Time"

"Set You Free This Time"


The first thing that I heard you say when you were standing there
Set in your way was that you were not blind
You were sure to make a fool of me cause there was nothing there
That you could see that could go beyond your mind
Now who's standing at the door remembering the days before
And asking please be kind
It isn't how it was set up to be but I've set you free this time

I have never been so far out in front that I could ever ask for what I want
And have it any time
Knowing this you found a thought for me that told you just what I should be
And there I stood behind
With all the ones that went before and memories that always seems to
Tear me from my mind
In front of what it is you seem me to be I've set you free this time

I could never find a chance to choose between a way to win or a
Thing to lose because there was your stand
On top of all the love you took
There was only something you can look at lying in your hand
Now who's wondering what has changed and why it can not be arranged
To have each thing work fine
It isn't how it was set up to be but I'll set you free this time

"She Don't Care About Time"

"She Don't Care About Time"


Hallways and staircases everyday to climb
To go up to my white walled room out on the end of time
Where I can be with my love for she is all that is mine
And she'll always be there, my love don't care about time

I laugh with her, cry with her, hold her close she is mine
The way she tells me of her love and never is she trying
She don't have to be assured of many good things to find
And she'll always be there, my love don't care about time

Her eyes are dark and deep with love, her hair hangs long and fine
She walks with ease and all she sees is never wrong or right
And with her arms around me tight I see her all in my mind
And she'll always be there my love don't care about time

"She Has A Way"

"She Has A Way"


I was really good to her but how she broke my heart
She looked so young and she seemed so sweet but I was wrong from the start
She has a way about her that makes her run around
Now I wonder if she'll ever wanna settle down

Oh oh, oh oh

I waited so impatiently it didn't do my mind any good
I never thought she would set me free I did all the things that I should
Then all at once I looked for her but she could not be found
Now I wonder if she'll ever wanna settle down

Oh oh, oh oh

I didn't think that I
Could wait for her very long
But I didn't realize
My love for her was so strong

She might be going from heart to heart she might be putting them down
The way she took it all apart made me the laugh of the town
She has a way about her that makes her run around
Now I wonder if she'll ever wanna settle down

Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh

"So Fine"

"So Fine"


So fine, so fine
So fine yeah, my baby's so doggone fine
She sends cold chills up and down my spine
Oh oh, yeah yeah, so fine

She thrills me, she thrills me
She thrills me yeah,
She thrills me come rain or shine
She sends cold chills up and down my spine
Oh oh, yeah yeah, so fine

Well I know that she loves me so
Well I know because my baby tells me so

So fine, so fine
So fine yeah, my baby's so doggone fine
She sends cold chills up and down my spine
Oh oh, yeah yeah, so fine

"So You Want To Be A Rock'N'Roll Star"

"So You Want To Be A Rock'N'Roll Star"


So you want to be a rock'n'roll star
Then listen now to what I say
Just get an electric guitar
And take some time and learn how to play
And when your hair's combed right and your pants fit tight
It's gonna be all right

Then it's time to go down town
Where the agent men won't let you down
Sell your soul to the company
Who are waiting there to sell plastic ware
And in a week or two if you make the charts
The girls will tear you apart

What you pay for your riches and fame
Was it all a strange game
You're a little insane
The money that came and the public acclaim
Don't forget what you are
You're a rock'n'roll star

"Space Odyssey"

"Space Odyssey"


In nineteen and ninety-six we ventured to the moon
Onto the the Sea Of Crisis like children from the womb
We journeyed cross the great wall plain beneath the mountain range
And there we saw the pyramid, it looked so very strange

This beacon had a field of force, that circled all around
And not a man could get inside, no way could be found
It was here for thousands of years before our life began
Waiting very patiently for evolving man

When the galaxy was young they looked upon the earth
And saw that its position was promising for birth
They searched for life but finding none they left a beacon bright
Its signal had not been disturbed in the eternal light

How wise they were to choose this place, they knew when we arrived
That our atomic energy, we'd harnessed and survived
I look out on the milky way for people of the dawn
I know that they will come some day but will our wait be long?

In nineteen and ninety-six we ventured to the moon
Onto the the Sea Of Crisis like children from the womb
We journeyed cross the great wall plain beneath the mountain range
And there we saw the pyramid, it looked so very strange

"Spanish Harlem Incident"

"Spanish Harlem Incident"


Gypsy gal, the hands of Harlem
Cannot hold you to its heat.
Your temperature's too hot for taming,
Your flaming feet are burning up the street.
I am homeless, come and take me
Into reach of your rattling drums.
I gotta know, babe, about my fortune
Down along my restless paths.

Gypsy gal, you got me swallowed.
I have fallen far beneath
Your pearly eyes, so fast an' slashing,
An' your flashing diamond teeth.
The night is pitch black, come an' make my
Pale face fit into place, ah, please!
I gotta know, babe, I'm nearly drowning
Take me to my lifelines trace.

I been wond'rin' all about me
Ever since I seen you there.
On the cliffs of your wildcat charms I'm riding,
I know I'm 'round you but I don't know where.
You have slayed me, you have made me,
I got to laugh at this off my heel.
I got to know, babe, will you surround me
So I can know if I'm really real.

"Stanley's Song"

"Stanley's Song"


Upon my face I feel the sun
I see the children play and run
I hope they'll always stay that way
As tomorrow turns to yesterday
The trees are bending with the wind
The evening sky begins to dim
I see a man who walks alone
The warmth of love he has not known

So come my friend and let's be one
Forget your fears let them be done
It's all one world in which we live
So understand and try to give

So come my friend and let's be one
Forget your fears let them be done
It's all one world in which we live
So understand and try to give
It's all one world in which we live
So understand and try to give

"Sweet Mary"

"Sweet Mary"


Sweet Mary I've got to be leaving
Oh I can't let you into my life
Cause I know it would end in grieving and the last thing I need is a wife

When I met I met you for pleasure
And the good times of running around
Then you seemed to be so understanding
From the weight that's been draggin me down
The good times are coming between us
Though you helped me I'm carrying my load
And I've never felt more like a lover but I'm running right off the road

Sweet Mary I've got to be leaving
Oh I can't let you into my life
Cause I know it would end in grieving and the last thing I need is a wife

Oh it's nothing you said or invited
And it's nothing you did that was wrong
Our love together was heaven but I promised myself to be strong

Sweet Mary I've got to be leaving
Oh I can't let you into my life
Cause I know it would end in grieving and the last thing I need is a wife

"Take A Whiff On Me"

"Take A Whiff On Me"


Take awhiff, take a whiff, take a whiff on me
Oh birdie take a whiff on me
Hey baby take a whiff on me

Went down to the corner 4th street and Main
Trying to get some good cocaine
Oh baby take a whiff on me

Cocaine for horses and not for men
Doctors say it kills you but he don't know when
Hey baby take a whiff on me
