Sweet Emotion    (Hamilton/Tyler, 4:36)

Sweet Emotion
Sweet Emotion

You talk about things and nobody cares
You're wearing other things that nobody wears
You're calling my name but you gotta make clear
I can't say baby where I'll be in a year

Some sweet talkin' mama with a face like a gent
Said my get up and go musta got up and went
Well I got good news, she's a real good liar
Cause the backstage boogie set your pants on fire

Sweet Emotion
Sweet Emotion

I pulled into town in a police car
Your daddy said I took it just a little too far
You're telling me things but your girlfriend lied
You can't catch me 'cause the rabbit done died
Yes it did

You stand in the front just a shakin' your ass
I'll take you backstage, you can drink from my glass
I talk about something you can sure understand
'Cause a month on the road and I'll be eating from your hand



Draw the Line    (Perry/Tyler, 3:43)

Checkmate honey,
Beat ya at your own damn game
No dice honey,
I'm livin' on the astral plane
Feet's on the ground,
And your head's goin' down the drain
Oh, heads I win, tails you lose,
To the never mind
Where to draw the line

An Indian Summer,
Carrie was all over the floor
She was a wet net winner,
And rarely ever left the store
She's sing and dance all night,
And wrong all the right out of me
Oh, pass me the vile and cross your fingers,
It don't take time
Nowhere to draw the line

Hi Ho Silver,
We were singin' all your cowboy songs
Oh, you told Carrie,
And promised her you wouldn't be long
Heads I win, tails you lose,
Lord it's such a crime

No dice honey, you're the salt,
You're the queen of the brine
Checkmate honey,
You're the only one who's got to choose
Where to draw the line
Checkmate, don't be late
Take another pull
That's right impossible
When you got to be yourself
You're the boss, the toss
The price, the dice
Grab yourself a slice
Nowhere to draw the line



Walk This Way    (Perry/Tyler, 3:40)

Backstroke lover, always hidin' 'neath the covers
Gonna talk to you my daddy say
He said, You ain't seen nothin' till you're down on a muffin
Then you're sure to be a-changin' your ways
I met a cheerleader, was a real young bleeder
All the times I could reminisce
Cause the best things of lovin' with her sister and her cousin
Only started with a little kiss, a-like this

Seesaw swinger with the boys in the school
And your feet flyin' up in the air
Singin' Hey diddle diddle with your kitty in the middle
Of the swing like you didn't care
So I took a big chance at the high school dance
With a missy who was ready to play
Was a-me she was foolin' 'cause she knew what she was doin'
Then I know'd love was here to stay

When she told me to walk this way, walk this way
Walk this way, walk this way
Walk this way, walk this way
Walk this way, walk this way
Uh, just gimme a kiss
Like this!

School girl sweetie with a classy kinda sassy
Little skirt's climbin' way up her knee
There was three young ladies in the school gym locker
When I noticed they was lookin' at me
I was a high school loser, never made it with a lady
Till the boys told me somethin' I missed
Then my next door neighbor with a daughter had a favor
So I gave her just a little kiss, a-like this

Seesaw swingin' with the boys in the school
And your feet flyin' up in the air
Singin' Hey diddle diddle with your kitty in the middle
Of the swing like you didn't care
So I took a big chance at the high school dance
With a missy who was ready to play
Was a-me she was foolin' cause she knew what she was doin'
When she told me how to walk this way

She told me to walk this way, talk this way
Walk this way, walk this way
Walk this way, walk this way
Walk this way, talk this way
Uh, just gimme a kiss
Like this!



Dream On    (Tyler, 4:26)

Every time that I look in the mirror
All these lines in my face gettin' clearer
The past is gone
It went by like dusk to dawn
Isn't that the way
Everybody's got their dues in life to pay

I know nobody knows
Where it comes and where it goes
I know it's everybody's sin
You got to lose to know how to win

Half my life's in books written pages
Lived and learned from fools and from sages
You know it's true
All these things come back to you
(all these things you do, pretty mama, come back to you)

Sing with me, sing for the years
Sing for the laughter 'n' sing for the tears
Sing with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good lord will take you away

Dream on, dream on, dream on
Dream yourself a dream come true
Dream on, dream on, dream on
Dream until your dreams come true
Dream on, dream on, dream on
Dream on, dream on, dream on, dream on

Sing with me, sing for the years
Sing for the laughter 'n' sing for the tears
Sing with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good lord will take you away



Train Kept a Rollin'    (Bradshaw/K/M, 5:41)

Well, on a train, I met a dame
She rather handsome, we kind looked the same
She was pretty, from New York City
I'm walkin' down that old Fair Lane,
I'm in heat, I'm in love
But I just couldn't tell her so

I said, train kept a-rollin' all night long
Train kept a-rollin' all night long
Train kept a-rollin' all night long
Train kept a-rollin' all night long
With a "heave!" and a "ho!"
But I just couldn't tell her so, no, no, no

Well, get along, sweet little woman get along
On your way, get along, sweet little woman get along
On your way,
I'm in heat, I'm in love
But I just couldn't tell her so, no, no, no

Well, on a train, I met a dame,
She rather handsome, we kind looked the same
She was pretty, from New York City
I'm walkin' down that old Fair Lane,
I'm in heat, I'm in love,
But I just couldn't tell her so

I said, train kept a-rollin' all night long
Train kept a-rollin' all night long
Train kept a-rollin' all night long
Train kept a-rollin' all night long
With a "heave!" and a "ho!"
But I just couldn't tell her so, no, no, no

Well, get along, sweet little woman get along
On your way, get along, sweet little woman get along
On your way,
I'm in heat, I'm in love,
But I just couldn't tell her

Well, we made a stop in Abuquerque
She musta thought I was a real cool jerk
Got off the train, and put her hands up
Lookin' so good I couldn't let her go
But I just couldn't tell her so

I said, train kept a-rollin' all night long
Train kept a-rollin' all night long
Train kept a-rollin' all night long
Train kept a-rollin' all night long
I'm in heat, I'm in love,
But I just couldn't tell her



Mama Kin    (Tyler, 4:26)

It ain't easy
Livin' like a gypsy
Tell ya honey how I feel
I've been dreamin'
Floatin' down the stream 'n'
Losin' touch with all that's real

Whole earth lover
Keepin' under cover
Never know where ya been
You've been fadin'
Always out paradin'
Keep in touch with mama kin

Well you've always got your tail on the wag
Shootin' fire from your mouth
Just like a dragon
You act like a perpetual drag
You better check it out
Cause someday soon you'll have to
Climb back on a wagon

It ain't easy
Livin' like you wanna
It's so hard to find peace of mind
Yes it is
The way I see it
You gotta say shit
But don't forget to drop me a line

Bald as an egg at eighteen
And workin' for your daddy just a drag
You still stuff your mind with them dreams
You better check it out
Cause someday you'll have to
Climb back on the wagon

Keep in touch with mama kin
Tell her where you've gone and been
Livin' out your fantasy
Sleepin' late and smokin' tea

Keep in touch with mama kin
Tell her where you've gone and been
Livin' out your fantasy
Sleepin' late and smokin' tea

It ain't easy
Livin' like you wanna
It's so hard to find peace of mind
Yes it is
The way I see it
You gotta say shit
But don't forget to drop me a line

Bald as an egg at eighteen
And workin' for your daddy just a drag
You still stuff your mind with them dreams
You better check it out
Cause someday soon you'll have to
Climb back on the wagon

Keep in touch with mama kin
Tell her where you've gone and been
Livin' out your fantasy
Sleepin' late and smokin' tea

Keep in touch with mama kin
Tell her where you've gone and been
Livin' out your fantasy
Sleepin' late and smokin' tea



Nobody's Fault    (Tyler/Whitford, 4:22)

Lord I must be dreamin'
What else could this be
Everybody's screamin'
Running for the sea

Holy lands are sinkin'
Birds take to the sky
The prophets are all stinking drunk
I know the reason why

Eyes are full of desire
Mind is so ill at ease
Everything is on fire
Shit piled up to the knees
Out of rhyme or reason
Everyone's to blame
Children of the season
Don't be lame

Sorry, you're so sorry
Don't be sorry
Man has known
And now he's blown it
Upside down and hell's the only sound
We did an awful job
And now they say it's nobody's fault

Old St. Andres
Seven years ago
Shove it up their richters
Red lines stop and go
Noblemen of courage
Listen with their ears
Spoke but how discouragin'
When no one really hears

One of these days you'll be sorry
Too many houses on stilt
Three million years or just a story
Four on the floor up to the hilt

Out of rhyme or reason
Everyone's to blame
Children of the season
Don't be lame

Sorry, we're so sorry
Don't be sorry
Man has known
And now he's blown it
Upside down and hell's the only sound
We did an awful job
And now we're just a little too late

Eyes are full of desire
Mind is so ill at ease
Everything is on fire
Shit piled up in debris

California showtime
Five o'clock's the news
Everybody's concubine
Was prone to take a snooze

Sorry, we're so sorry
Don't be sorry
Man has known
And now he's blown it
Upside down and hell's the only sound
We did an awful job
And now we're just a little too late



Seasons of Wither    (Tyler, 5:06)

Blues hearted lady
Sleepy was she
Love for the devil
Brought her to me
Tears of a thousand
Drawn to her sin
Seasons of wither
Holdin' me in

Oooh, woe is me
I feel so badly for you
Oooh, woe is me
I feel so sadly for you in time
Bound to lose your mind
Live on borrowed time
Take the wind right out of your sails

Fireflies dance in the heat of
Hound dogs that bay at the moon
My ship leaves in the midnight
Can't say I'll be back too soon
They awaken
Far, far away
Heat of my candle
Show me the way
Seas of a thousand
Drawn to her sin
Seasons of wither
Holdin' me in

Oooh, woe is me
I feel so badly for you
Oooh, woe is me
I feel so sadly for you in time
Bound to lose your mind
Live on borrowed time
Take the wind right out of your sails



Big Ten Inch Record    (Weismantel, 3:56)

Got me the strangest woman
Believe it, this chick's no sinch
When I wanna get her goin'
Then I whip out my Big Ten Inch

Record of the band that plays the blues
Well the band that plays the blues
She just loved my Big Ten Inch
Record of her favorite blues

Last night I tried to tease her
I gave my love a little pinch
But she said now stop that jivin'
And whip out your big ten inch

Record of the band that plays the blues
Well the band that plays the blues
She just loved my Big Ten Inch
Record of her favorite blues

I'll cover her with kisses
And when we're in a lover's clinch
She gets all excited
When she puts on my big ten inch

Record of the band that plays the blues
Well the band that plays the blues
She just loved my Big Ten Inch
Record of her favorite blues

My gal don't go smokin'
And liquor just makes her flinch
Seems she don't go for nothin'
'Cept for my big ten inch

Record of the band that plays the blues
Band that plays the blues
She just loved my Big Ten Inch
Record of her favorite blues



All Your Love    (Rush, 5:28)

All your love I miss lovin'
All your kiss I miss kissin'
All your love I miss lovin'
All your kiss I miss kissin'

Ever since I left you baby, I never knew what I was missin'
All your love I miss lovin'
All your kiss I miss kissin'
All your love I miss lovin'
All your kiss I miss kissin'
Ever since I left you baby, I never knew what I was missin'

All your lovin' pretty baby
That I had in store for you
All your lovin' pretty baby
That I had in store for you
All your lovin' pretty baby
What could a poor boy do

All your lovin' pretty baby
All your lovin' pretty baby
All your lovin' (
x7) pretty baby
What could a poor boy do

All your lovin' pretty baby
All your kissin' is kissin'
All the lovin' you gave me pretty baby
All your kissin' is kissin'
Ever since I left you baby
I n-never knew what I was missin'



Helter Skelter    (Lennon/McCartney, 3:15)

When I get to the bottom
I go back to the top of the slide
Where I stop and turn and I go for a ride
Till I get to the bottom
And see you again... yeah yeah yeah yeah

Do you, don't you
Want me to love you
I'm comin' down fast
But I'm miles above you
Ah tell me, tell me, tell me the answer
You may be a lover
But you ain't no dancer... yeah

Helter skelter
Helter skelter
Helter skelter... ooohhh

Will you, won't you
Want me to make you
I'm coming down fast
But don't let me break you
Tell me, tell me, tell me the answer
You may be a lover
But you ain't no dancer... that's right

Helter skelter
Helter skelter
Helter skelter
Wooo... helter skelter... lookout

When I get to the bottom
I go back to the top of the slide
And I stop and I turn and I go for a ride
And I get to the bottom and I see you again
Yeah yeah yeah

Do you, don't you
Want me to make you
I'm comin' down fast
But don't let me break you
Tell me, tell me, tell me the answer
May be a lover
But you ain't no dancer

Helter skelter
Helter skelter
Helter skelter
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Helter skelter
I'm comin' down fast
Yeah yeah yeah...



Chip Away the Stone    (Supa, 4:06)

Well you're actin' like a prima donna
Playin' so hard to get
Actin' so cool and nonchalant
Draggin' on a cigarette

You keep a wall around you
I'll get through someday
I want your love babe, but push don't shove
Gonna chip away that stone

Chip away
Chip away the stone
And I won't stop until your love is my very own
Chip away
That's what I'm gonna do
Sweet little mama I wanna get next to you

Well you stand like a marble statue
Trying to look so hard
All decked out in your antique dress
While the boys all promenade

Even a rock will crumble
If you strike it night and day
If hammer I must, I'm gonna get through your crust
Gonna chip that stone away

Chip away
Chip away at the stone
And I won't stop until your love is my very own
Chip away
That's what I'm gonna do
Sweet little mama I wanna get next to you

Chip away
Chip away at the stone
And I won't stop until your love is my very own
Chip away
That's what I'm gonna do
Sweet little mama I wanna get next to you
Oooh, yes I do

Chip away
Chip away
At the stone
Chip away
Chip away
At the stone

I won't stop  (x10)
Won't stop
Chip it, I'm gonna nip it, all night long
