Life|| Light My Fire|| Love-->Building On Fire|| Love You, Hate You



Little Wing/Maggot Brain [7/11/95; Hendrix/George Clinton]

Well she's walking through the clouds,
With a circus ming running 'round.
Butterflys and moonbeams,
Fairytales oh...
All she ever wanted
Is riding in the wind.

When I'm sad, she comes to me
With a thousand smiles she gives to me...
It's alright she says...
All she ever wanted,
It's riding in the wind...

Last Will and Testament [Eddie Solo; 11/13/99]

I'm writing my last will and testament,
It's not my, it's not an easy thing to do.
You think about everyone you've known and what they've meant.
You think about everything they've done for you.

I started low and I went high,
So what was there for me all throughout my life?
I don't want to die, but if I do,
I'm leaving... [3X]
All my everything to The Who.

Let My Love Open the Door [Pete Townsend]

The people keep repeating
That you'll never fall in love,
When everybody keeps retreating
But you can't seem to get enough,

Let my love open your door... (3x)
To your heart...
Let my love open the door (2x)

When everything feels all over,
When everybody seems unkind,
I'll give you a four-leaf clover,
Take all worries out of your mind.

Let my love open your door... (3x)
To your heart...
Let my love open the door...
To your heart...
Let my love open the door...

I have the only key to your heart...
I can stop you from fallin' apart.
Tried to say in my own way...
Somebody give me the chance to say...
Let my love open your door...
It's all I'm lookin' for.
Release yourself from misery...
There's only one thing that's gonna set you free...

When tragedy befalls you...
Don't let it drag you down.
Love can cure your problems,
You're so lucky I'm around.

Let my love open your door... [3x]
To your heart...
Let my love open the door...
To your heart...

Let my love open the door... [5x]

To your heart...
Oh let my love,
My love, [4X]
Open the door...
Let my love... [2x]

Life [9/23/98; Improv]

Wave my hands...wave your hands...
It feels good to wave your hands...
Wave 'em to the sky...
Wave 'em [and I'll scald them on the water?]
It don't matter what you give to her.
It does not matter what [a set form he is?]
It's nothin' matters except for the soul.
Nothin' matters that we ain't gonna have to grow old.
It doesn't matter whether we're someday gonna die.
'Cause we were there and we had a good time.
Yeah, yeah....[4X]

(Alright, we're gonna call that song "Life".)

Light My Fire [The Doors]

You know that I won't be untrue.
You know that I won't be a liar,
If I were to say to you,
"Girl we couldn't get much higher."
Come on, baby, light my fire... [2X]
Try to set the night on fire...

The time to hesitate is through.
No time to wallow in the mire.
Try now, we could only lose,
And our love become a funeral pyre.
Come on, baby, light my fire... [2x]
Try to set the night on fire...

The time to hesitate is through.
No time to wallow in the mire.
Try now we could only lose,
And our love become a funeral parlor.
Come on, baby, light my fire... [2x]
Try to set the night on fire...

You know that I would be untrue.
You know that I would be a liar.
If I were to say to you,
Girl we couldn't get much higher...
Come on, baby, light my fire... [2x]
Try to set the night on fire... [4x]

Love-->Building On Fire [Talking Heads]

When my love stands next to your love,
I can't compare love, and...
It's not love... [3X]
Which is my face,
Which is a building,
Which is on fire.
On fire...

When my love sits next to your love.
I can't define love, oh and...
It's not love... [3X]
Which is my face,
Which is a building,
Which is on fire.
On fire...

I've got two loves, [2X]
And they go...
Tweak... [20X]
Not love the first time...
Two loves, [2X]
Which is a building,
Which is on fire.
On fire... [3X]

Love You, Hate You [Improv]

I'll be alright...
Doctor said I, I'd be alright...
Oh, everything that I believed, it wasn't true.
I found it out when I got close to you.
I thought you were different, like a dream.
Things they ain't never what they seem...
Thought I could trust you with my soul,
But you can't do that anymore.
The doctor said I'd be alright, but I still feel blue...
The doctor said I'd be alright, but I still love you...
Love you, hate you...love you, want you...hate you...

I'm different...
Me, myself, I'm different than all the rest.
I can only speak for myself, but people can trust me...
