Please Be There When I wake up hungry please be there When I'm dark and thirsty please be there On the lowdown Sunday say my prayer When I need somebody please be there Talk to me and I'll talk to you Ain't it nice to know that you're breaking through? Anything that you want me to Ask me now and it's coming true Come with me and I'll go with you When the buds outside still wear the dew You said that last night that you dreamed you flew Take my hand that's what we'll do Please be there I can hardly believe it Please be there because you really see me Please be there so don't ever leave it Please be there with me **** John - electric guitar, lead vocal Larry - piano, organ, vocal Lance - bass, vocal Wells - drums, vocal If If you were a rainbow and I was the sun Getting up too close might make you run But if you were a sailing ship and I was in your hold It would feel just like a pot of gold If you were a fish and I was a hook We would get acquainted in a bubbling brook If you were a tree and I was the sky We would be together until we die If you were a queen and I was a king Our throne would be love and the song we sing If you would let me kiss you and hold you through the night The ending to this story would be all right If you were a riddle and I was the reply We would never have to question why If you were a shadow and I was a wall We would come together when nighttime falls *** John - guitars, lead guitar - 2nd solo and fade, lead vocal, steel drums Larry - guitars, lead guitar - 1st solo, vocals Lance - bass, vocals Wells - drums, timbales, vocal Roger Hawkins - tambourine Two Faced World I met a man who told me his contacts were so fine I would be a big star if I'd sign his dotted line I wanted to believe so it took a while to see The only connection that he really had was me It's a two faced world from the bottom to the top Two faced world, now where's it going to stop? (not yet) I gave my friend some money when his was running low I thought he'd always be there if i need a place to go I found out that he's just my enemy That good friend's been saying some bad things about me It's a two faced world everywhere you look Two faced world, got me on the hook I had a good, true lover - at least that's what she said So I was really shocked when I found her in his bed I really loved that woman but it took a lot of gall To look me in the eye and say "I just slept here, that's all" It's a two-faced world, caught me in its trap Two-faced world, sittin' in the devil's lap Once I had a country called the land of the free Pledged my allegiance to justice and liberty Now i think there's justice in the crack in the liberty bell We give them all their freedom by bombing them to hell *** John - electric guitar, lead guitar, lead vocal Larry - electric guitar, patriotism (patriotic airs) organ, vocal Wells - drums, vocal Lance - bass vocal Roger Hawkins - congas Turn Out The Light Now the time has come again when all your work is done And you need to rest awhile although it seems you've just begun Come lie here beside me, we can lay our burdens down Let the battle rage outside 'cause we've found our peace for now . We're here together such a short time it's true (Won't you please) Turn out the light Kiss me good night And the let the darkness shine through I can see as your eyes close what a rough day you've had But one night in my arms will show that things aren't really so bad The dark side's a blessing when you have done all you can I can't change the past now but we can dream of a sweeter land We don't need electric light Because the moon is full and bright We got our own electricity I can feel it when you're close to me *** John - electric guitars, lead vocal Larry - organ vocal Lance - bass vocal Wells - drums, vocals Barry Beckett - piano Marilyn Mason and the Dixie Doo-Doo Birds - backup vocals Tongue Tied I might not be able to say it out loud But I been watching you from across the crowd And just as soon as I get the chance I'll happen to be there when you want to dance Got to tell you how I feel Words won't say it but my body will I get so shy when I'm standing still I get tongue-tied when I have to speak Tongue-tied but I can move my feet Some other guys might hand you a line If you like sweet talk I guess that that's fine I won't deceive you with grandiose plans When I put it to you you'll know I'm your man Tell me why it should be That you have this effect on me Why should I be shy with you? I guess body English will just have to do Some people sit and talk for day They say funky music's a passing craze Once we start to work it on out We'll give them something to talk about *** John - guitars, vocals Larry - guitars, lead solo, vocal Lance- bass, vocal Wells - drums, cowbell, vocals Half Moon (Seven Song) Half moon in a night-time sky Seven stars - heaven's eyes Seven songs on seven seas Hope to bring your sweet love home to me Move me like a mountain Rock me like the sea Lifetimes pass and then at last Your love brings life to me Rings of fire I got arms of flame Wings rise up to call your name Sun rolls high and it burns the ground I'm gonna roll and roll my fire for the first good love I found *** John - rhythm guitar, lead guitar - 2nd solo, 1st lead vocal Larry - rhythm guitar, lead guitar - 1st solo, organ, 2nd lead vocal Lance - bass, vocals Wells - drums Roger Hawkins - congas Mountain Head up on a mountain just in back of town And I thought that you were coming up But I can see you want me back down If you do you got a surprise Cause I can never back down in your eyes We can surely be best friends It doesn't have to end We were so unhappy and afraid to be apart Now I guess we're growing up And I can feel a big jump in my heart And if we don't want this dance to repeat We got to make up a brand new beat When you hear me singing this song You know it won't be long Someday when the sun is shining And the wind don't blow so cold We might return here And before we get to old But now I'll stay here on my mountain And howl at the the moon And be thankful for the way things are I just hope they don't change too soon But nothing ever stays the same And if it did it would be a damn shame Sp I'll keep on singing the same old song It's the same old song *** Larry - electric piano, lead guitar - 2nd solo, vocal Wells- accoustic piano, drums, lead vocal Lance - bass, vocal John - lead guitar - 1st solo, rhythm electric guitar Wanderlust You might think I'm settled, you might think I'm satisfied Got the sweetest woman a man ever lay alongside So it seems so strange that this restlessness keeps building up inside Got to wander, i got to see what i can see Because wanderlust got a hold on me You know how to love me, you give me everything a man could need I get you when I want you but you understand if I have to leave There's a hunter in my blood and I don't if i can stop the flood Got to wander, I got to get out on the street Because wanderlust got a hold on me I'd never leave you, I love you too damn much Just sometimes I get hungry for the thrill of a stranger's touch Don't think that you're losing just because i'm out there cruising. *** John - guitars, 2nd solo, organ, lead vocal Larry - guitars, 1st solo, vocal Wells - drums, vocal Lance - bass, vocal Ticonderoga Moon Ticonderoga moon halfway up the sky Icy cold and far away like a love that has to die Ticonderoga moon where lies my lover now? Guess I won't be holding her till you rise and fall again Light the way show me how to make it to the day Ticonderoga moon wash my love away Ticonderoga Moon a dog walked round a cat Roses closing for the night Got to Shut her out like that *** John - accoustic guitars, electric guitars, lead vocal Larry - piano, vocal Lance - bass, vocal Wells - drums, vocal Stoned Workin' all night and day Playin' the time away I just wanna go home put my feet up and get stoned Back and forth to New York Somebody please pull the cork If I gotta be there I just know I got to be Stoned Who can depend on a life on the road Missin' your friends and havin' no home I'm not complainin' just let it be knowed That the best way to dig is to put on a load Gettin' to sleep before dawn Ain't somethin' you can count on for long But when I gotta stay up I count on that cup to get stoned Studio hours always leave you a mess They don't give you no peace they don't give you no rest Heaven knows I love that sweet music to death And when I'm dyin' from the hundredth take I take out my very best Bottle And pour me a round Things start to settle down If you can't beat'em Join'em once and for all and get Stoned, plowed, lord knows how It makes it easy to get through it all *** John - drums Wells - piano Lance - bass, vocal Larry - lead vocal, electric guitar, slide guitar Roger Hawkins - cowbell, Jew's harp It All Comes Back Again There's a place on the corner mixing gossip up with gin And the face in the window can always tell you who's been in Well you moved to the country to lose the smoke and the crowd But night like this you always wind up where the air is think and music's loud Every breath has its meaning You're blowing out and I'm breathing in So take care what you do Cause it all comes back again There's a sign on the highway telling everyone to rejoice Every moment is a crossroad, everyone must make a choice When you love take it easy cause shortcuts are a waste of time And the years bring back people you've been holding in your mind There's a man in a white house selling everyone a used car And he plays with his prophets, dreams that he's a football star But the dreams rain down fire on the little plastic men And if you think it doesn't hurt you, you had better think again *** John - electric guitar, lead vocal, dobrolin solo Larry - electric piano, organ, vocals Wells - drums, vocals Lance - bass, vocals |
