Something On The Side
04:34
|

I have just been wondering
wondering for hours and hours
why these things have to matter so much
why do I even care
Concerns that don’t concern me now
stuck in my head it can’t find a way out
unless I help to find it
It feels like I just spin around
and I look right into space
trying too hard oh what good does it do
why don’t I try to find my way
Concerns that don’t concern me now
stuck in my head it can’t find a way out
unless I help to find it
No need to act this way
It’s only something on the side
Concerns that don’t concern me now
stuck in my head it can’t find a way out
unless I help to find it
No need to act this foolish way
It’s only something on the side
I need to snap into shape
I’ll find a way to move on

Here we are
Jose, Carlos, and Maria
Crossing the border to the USA
the land of the free and the home of the brave
We gave up our homes
so our children could be free
coming to the land of opportunity
we need the support
of the community
this is
our most important plea
Aquí estamos
Jose, Carlos, y Maria
Cruzando la frontera a los E.E.U.U.
la tierra de los libres y el hogar de los valientes
We want to escape from our poverty
So we arrive in the land of opportunity
We want to work hard so we can get money
to support our growing family
We gave up our homes
so our children could be free
for a fruitful life
that they can see
we need the support
of the community
this is
our most important plea

Days And Hours

Hey, please find some way
to come out of that shell today
I find it’s such a bind
to be stuck inside and you won’t come out to play
So hey why don’t you say
why you hesitate to relax and play
Oh, it’s better to go
and do what you can if you’ve got some time to lay aside
It’s right, everyone knows
Cold nights bring warm days
So we use these days and hours
Hey, please find some way
to come out of that shell today
What good is all that work
when you don’t let it bring you happiness
It’s right, everyone knows
Cold nights bring warm days
So we use these days and hours
They say all work and no play
makes Jack a dull boy
so we use these days and hours
So please come out to play
No excuses to make
I don’t want to hear you say
You act old when you’re young and young when you’re old
It’s right, everyone knows
Cold nights bring warm days
So we use these days and hours
They say all work and no play
makes Jack a dull boy
so we use these days and hours
So please come out to play
No excuses to make
I don’t want to hear you say
You act old when you’re young and young when you’re old

Roadhouse
03:46

Poor and lonely is the life we lead and it just don't seem to jive
sometimes we feel like we're barely alive,
we start to cook and then we book
to another boogie bar in a little shanty town serving
grandad on the rocks
Roadhouse, roadhouse blues again (we got the blues, we got the blues)
Roadhouse, roadhouse blues again (we got the blues, we got the blues)
and when we come on home to our lovin' little mamas our
Roadhouse blues be gone
Now we're back on the road, cruisin for cash again
(bop shoo wop, bop shoo way)
Feelin' low down in another sad town and our music is all we got
but we know damn well we'll be feelin' just swell when we're
back with those mamas of ours
Roadhouse, roadhouse blues again (we got the blues, we got the blues)
Roadhouse, roadhouse blues again (we got the blues, we got the blues)
and when we come on home to our lovin' little mamas our
Roadhouse blues be gone
Now don't let us fool ya, we love that rock n' roll
(bop shoo wop, bop shoo way)
we can play all night, don't need no help at all
(bop shoo wop, bop shoo way)
We don't need no love or money for us
to play that boogie woogie for you
Roadhouse, roadhouse blues again (we got the blues, we got the blues)
Roadhouse, roadhouse blues again (we got the blues, we got the blues)
and when we come on home to our lovin' little mamas our
Roadhouse blues be gone
Now we're back on the road, cruisin for cash again
(bop shoo wop, bop shoo way)
Feelin' low down in another sad town and our music is all we got
but we know damn well we'll be feelin' just swell when we're
back with those mamas of ours
Roadhouse, roadhouse blues again (we got the blues, we got the blues)
Roadhouse, roadhouse blues again (we got the blues, we got the blues)
and when we come on home to our lovin' little mamas our
Roadhouse blues be gone
Bop shoo wop, bop shoo way

Guilty Pleasure

Here she comes, she’s in a disguise
silently, she’s crept into their minds
I try to run but it’s hard to hide
Once she comes, she falls so deep inside
when you see it, it seems too late
everyone suddenly just opens up the gate
from what I’ve seen it appears so clear
she flies stealthily through the air and she has
Dark eyes and a Dark smile
well it captivates and brings us down
there seems to be no way
to get away
Can’t you find another way
to feel happy
just some other kind of day
you find yourself better off so soon
Possessed in flames and passing the disease
the kind of sickness that you’re anxious to receive
why can’t you see that there is no light
to be extracted from what is known as
Dark eyes and a Dark smile
and it escalates to nothing good at all
no reason just appeasing
a social sense of being that is brought out of control
Can’t you find another way
to feel happy
just some other kind of day
you find yourself better off so soon
Can’t you find another way
to feel happy
just some other kind of day
you find yourself better off so soon

I Wish To Be King
03:59
|

Well I grew up
in a South New England town
It’s a place
where democracy abounds
I like this system
it seems to work the whole year through
but wouldn’t it be funny
If a castle sprung up from the ground
you didn’t see that coming, hey!
November with short sleeves on
We plow the fields and feel so alone
maybe we can randomly bring a
monarchy,
I wish to be King!
I wish to be King!
I wish to be King!
So I can rule the land with all my generosity and kindness
With trumpets blaring
I’d write some charters
Knight some awesome people
propose a decree
I’ll have a crown
and a throne to sit on when I tire
but wouldn’t it be funny
If I wore a robe made out of fir
to piss off animal rights activists
Bows, arrows, and a towering keep
a drawbridge over a moat of green water
maybe we can randomly bring a
monarchy,
I wish to be King!
I wish to be King!
I wish to be King!
So I can rule the land with all my generosity and kindness

Kacie's Garden
04:29
|

Some time ago
In Kacie’s garden
she watched as flowers went into bloom
It seemed to her
the days get lazy
she’s gone crazy far too soon
she finds herself
in an odd situation
biding her time as she stands there alone
she seems to like
communication
across the nation on the phone
Ooh where’s her lover now
not in his arms, she’s away
he sits and warms his hands by the fire
she’s got another sunny day
Where is she
when he needs her
or where is he when she needs him
all they do is
pick up the receiver
punch some numbers and connect their hearts
Ooh have they gone too far
sending their pictures in the mail
the sound of their voices stop the silence
the story of their day tells a tale
Safe, and watching the day
floats and flies away
feeling tired today
watch as the stars come near
Then one day
low and behold
he showed up at her front door
he wasn’t the same
as in the picture
she killed him, he was a meanie anyway
Ooh have they gone too far
sending their pictures in the mail
he lays in the ground with those flowers
he’s got another sunny day

Airplane

I had a dream once when I was a little guy
I took a plane right up into the sky
I flew around for miles and miles
The ground below all made of patches and tiles
When dreams are here they come and they go
dreams of land, water, and snow
Winter breezes, they get so cold
If I could fly 10,000 miles high
over the mountains and over the sky
it’s a brilliant day as always outside
Airplane won’t you fly
to the unknown regions of space and time
let’s take a wild ride
to the outskirts of your imagination
the sea of blue appears to be so crystal clear
As it has for so many a year
this is right where you want to be
if it’s many different places you would like to see
I see the stars out of the corner of my eye
the sun shines bright as the wind passes by
ascending now the moon draws near
The time is here, how fast can we go
such a question, nobody knows
arrange our thoughts and fly around the world
Airplane won’t you fly
to the unknown regions of space and time
let’s take a wild ride
to the outskirts of your imagination
Airplane won’t you fly
to the unknown regions of space and time
let’s take a wild ride
to the outskirts of your imagination

Well I watched the sunrise
I was looking at the New York syline
Standing tall
Explaining to myself just how I think of it
Explaining to myself some crazy dreams
The world’s on fire
I can’t deny it any longer than I have
Cause I’m imploding with all of them
Trying hard but discovering the faults I have
Trying hard to improve the progress
Now what, of me now
I’m not any better but I hope I’m not getting worse
The way I see it
Left and right there’s statements made that differ
Left and right I differ with them too
With flashing excitement
The streets light up and the people get moving
Where would they move
We all need a sense of direction to follow
We all need sincerity to come back home

Stuck In The Madness
04:40
|

I can see the night
Coming over to me
such a dangerous mess and
I can hardly see
You said you were coming
and now you’re going to go
and where I’m headed
I’m not so sure I know oh
Lost I try to find my way out
maybe easy when you think about it
Interesting how it
makes you feel a different way
Stuck in the madness
Got to get out of it
Just stuck in the madness
Thinking of a way to make things right
The sands shift around
The grounds unstable where we stand
How much are we to blame
If the walls want to cave in we push them out
and see what we find on this side
And think about our lives all the while
Where’s it going to go next
Turns are always coming along
Stuck in the madness
Got to get out of it
Just stuck in the madness
Thinking of a way to make things right
Life’s so hard to predict
You’ve got to take what comes your way
And find a way to go
That helps to better your day
Where’s it going to bring us next
Seems that you just can’t expect it
Wonder where it’s going
Making us ready
Stuck in the madness
Got to get out of it
Just stuck in the madness
Thinking of a way to make things right

The Ultra Side Of Life
04:46
|

It’s been raining
Clearing up today
The star has come our way that we have watched throughout our lives
It seems that baby
I’ve seen you lately
On a corner in the crowded afternoon
Time to smile
Watch as the world is turning green
I’ve seen you dancing in the rain
Timetable’s wild
Thoughts and memories get flowing
This just seems to be
Seems to be the ultra side of life
La la la
La la la
La la la la la X2
I think about sitting
Under a tree in some shade
As everything around me brightens up the air
We watch these other things
But what do they matter
When all that matters are the things that are so good
Time to smile
Watch as the world is turning green
I’ve seen you dancing in the rain
Timetable’s wild
Thoughts and memories get flowing
This just seems to be
Seems to be the ultra side of life
La la la
La la la
La la la la la X2
Everyone should come together
Greet each other with kindness
Thinking of how much it can make you feel alright
You’ve got to think about
Everything positive
They lead to the highest goals of happiness La la la, la la la, La la la la la X4
