AMERICAN PIE (Don McLean) (various dates)

So bye, bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levy, but the levy was dry
Them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singin' this'll be the day that I die...
This'll be the day that I die...


ANGIE (The Rolling Stones)

But Angie, Angie
Ain't it time we said goodbye...yeah...

With no loving in our souls
And no money in our coats
Oh, you can't say we're satisfied...

But Angie, I still love you baby
Everywhere I look I see your eyes
There ain't a woman that comes close to you
Come on, baby, dry your eyes...


ANOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL, PART II (Pink Floyd) (various dates)

We don't need no education...
We don't need no thought patrol...
No dark sarcasms in the classroom...
Teachers leave those kids alone...
Hey, teachers, leave those kids alone!
All in all you're just another brick in the wall...


BABA O'RILEY (Pete Townshend) (various dates)

Out here in the fields, I fight for my meals
I get my back into my livin'
I don't need to fight to prove I'm right
I don't need to be forgiven
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Don't cry, don't brace your eye
It's only teenage wasteland...yeah...

Sally take my hand, we'll travel south cross land
Put out the fire, and don't look past my shoulder
The exodus is here, the happy ones are near
Let's get together, before we get much older

Teenage wasteland, on the teenage wasteland
Teenage wasteland, oh yeah, teenage wasteland  
They're all wasted

Teenage wasteland, on the teenage wasteland
Teenage wasteland, oh yeah, teenage wasteland  
They're all wasted     


BE A STAR, BOY (The Frogs) (Milwaukee, Wisconsin.  9 July 1995)

Executive with his pants down...
Sittin' behind a desk...
How bad do you wanna be a star, boy? Be a star, boy?

The mansion on the hill could be yours...
Fancy cash and girls...
How bad do you wanna be a star, boy? Be a star, boy?

Finish me off unto yourself...
Put this heroin in your arms...you're on your way...

I think we could do business boy...
It's a crazy business, but it's worth it...
How bad do you wanna be a star, boy? Be a star, boy?


BEAST OF BURDEN (The Rolling Stones) (London, England.  14 July 1993)

I will be the least of your burdens
My back is broken, my feet are hurtin'
All I want is to drink, please fuckin' leave me alone
I'll never be your beast of learning
I'm a stupid fuck, I don't know nothin' at all
All I want is to drink, maybe with just one other person

Am I hard enough...am I tough enough...
I don't give a fuck
I just wanna live life and be dumb and happy like an American
All I want is for you to make love to me
Hey hey oh...hey oh oh...
Ooh...ooh...

Got this burnin' desire coming straight from my heart
Suck you dry...suck...suck you dry...suck you dry...
Suck me dry...suck this dry...


BEE GIRL (Rockline.  18 October 1993)

You don't wanna be famous, you wanna be shy
Do your dances alone in your room
Becoming a star will become your doom
Bee Girl, be a girl... (2x)

You know time is long, and life is short, begin to live while you still can
Believe in nothing, believe me, those who can be trusted can change their mind
The anxious is the present, unwrap your gifts, take your time
Everything you imagined, needn't be stuck in your mind
Bee Girl, be a girl (2x)

DOCK OF THE BAY (Otis Redding) (Murfreesboro, Tennesee.  26 March 1994)

Sittin' in the mornin' sun, I'll be sittin' till the evening's done
Watchin' the ships roll in, then I watch 'em roll away again
Sittin' on the dock of the bay, watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay wastin' time...

I left my home in Georgia, headed for the 'Frisco Bay
I've got nothin' to live for, looks like nothing's gonna come my way, yeah...
Sittin' on the dock of the bay, watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin on the dock of the bay wastin' time...

Looks like nothing's ever gonna change, everything still remains the same
I can't do what ten people want me to, so I guess I'll remain the same
Oh, sittin' on a roll in my bones, this loneliness won't leave me alone
Two thousand miles I've roamed, just to make this dock my home, yeah...
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay, watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin on the dock of the bay wastin' time...
I left my home in Georgia, headed for the 'Frisco Bay
Sittin' here restin' my bones, this loneliness won't leave me alone, yeah...
Two thousand miles I've roamed, just to make this dock my home, yeah...
Sittin' on the dock of the bay, watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin on the dock of the bay wastin' time...


DRIVEN TO TEARS (The Police) (Stockholm, Sweden.  25 June 1992)

How can you say that you're not responsible
What does it have to do with me
What is my reaction, what should it be
Confronted by this latest atrocity

To tears...
Driven to tears  (3x)
Oh yeah...

Hide my face in my hands, shame wells in my throat
A comfortable existence is reduced to a shallow, meaningless party
Seems that when some innocent die
All we can offer them is a page in a fuckin' magazine
Too many cameras and not enough food, and this is what we've seen

Driven to tears  (3x)
Oh yeah...

Ohh...  (4x)

Protest is futile, nothing seems to get through
What's to become of our world, and who know's what to do

Driven to tears  (6x)


EVERYDAY PEOPLE (Sly and the Family Stone - Chicago.  11 July 1995)

Sometimes I'm right and I can be wrong
My own beliefs are in my song
A butcher, a baker, Jack Irons and them
It makes no difference what group I'm in
I'm, I'm everyday people, yeah, yeah...

There is a blue one who can't accept a green one
For living with a fat one, trying to make the skinny one
Different strokes for different folks
And so on, and so on, and shobby-dobby-dobby

Ooh, structure...
We've got to live together...

People aren't better, and neither are you
We're on the same boat, whatever we do
You love me, you hate me, you know me and then
You can't figure out the bag I'm in...
I'm, I'm everyday people, yeah, yeah

Ooooh, structure  (3x)

There is a blue one, who can't accept a green one
For living with a fat one, trying to make the skinny one
Different strokes for different folks
And so on, and so on, and shobby-dobby-dobby

Ooooh, structure
We've got to live together

I, I'm everyday people


FALLING DOWN (various dates)

Something to remember me by
Something to place in your hand

Frozen like stone, yeah
He's only flesh and blood
I'll be gone, yeah...
Just a memory passing like pages in a book

I'm falling down...
I'm falling...  (2x)
I don't know if I'll get up
You're a boy...  (3x)

I know why you're here
Can't guess your side
Oh no, the cry of a newborn child
Can't feel the heat
Of something fresh
Can somebody hide me
I cannot hold on...  (2x)
I cannot hold on, child...


THE FIRST TIME (Stockholm, Sweden.  25 June 1992)

Oh, the first time...
Everyone always told me it would be better the first time

There's nothing like the first, nothing will replace it
Never ever forget the first time...the first time...

I'm here to say
I'm here with proof
I'm a living example
That the second time around  (2x)
It could be better
Better  (3x)
The second time around

Let me tell you that there ain't nothing
There ain't nothing like your very first... fuck
The very first time, ain't nothing to live by
Trying to live your future, trying to live your past

The second time around, there will always be
There will always be a second time around
There will always be, there's got to be a second time around

You must have a heart of steel...why do I...

Why do I keep fuckin' up?

I can see you on a hill...why do I...
Comatose but walking still...why do I...
Curves beneath your flowing gown ...why do I...
Only I could bring you down...why do I...

Why do I keep fuckin' up?

Dogs that lick and dogs that bite...why do I...
Hounds that howl through the night...why do I...
Broken leashes all over the floor...why do I...
Keys left hanging in a swinging door...why do I...

Why do I keep fuckin' up?
Fuckin' up...fuckin' up...fuckin' up...

HARD TO IMAGINE (Vitalogy Demo)

Paint a picture, forty shades of gray
Light your pillow, lay back, watch the flames

JUST A GIRL (Ten Demo)

Thieves in the window
Trouble down the hall
The resin white ceiling
Blood, dripping, flows
Out on the front line
Preachers sweep the earth
Out on their backsides
With nothing in common, with no problem

She's just a girl...
Just...just a girl, yeah...
Just one time around
She has little chance to make good
Distance of her lie
Decided in the womb

Burning fires
See the red, true beliefs
This maid in progress
Betrayin' your mother's need for a shelter

Oh, just a girl...
Just...just a girl
Just one time around
She had little chance to make good
Treats them now, she's young
But it can be taken away
Just one time around...can be taken away
We all make mistakes

Hush my baby...don't you cry...
You're my little alibi
Oh baby, please...I need some sleep
Hmm, now be taken
You with me

Just a girl  (5x)
Just a kid, yeah...


THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT (The Who) (various dates)

I don't mind all the guys dancing with my girl
That's fine, I know them all pretty well
And I know sometimes I must get out in the light
Better leave her behind where the kids are alright...
The kids are alright...

Sometimes, I know I gotta get away
Bells chime, I know I gotta get away
And I know if I don't, I'll go out of my mind
Better leave her behind where the kids are alright...
The kids are alright...

I know if I go things would be a lot better for her
I had this plan but her folks wouldn't let her
I don't mind, I feel i gotta get away
Bells chime, i know I gotta get away

Better leave her behind where the kids are alright...
The kids are alright... (3x)

Take all worries out of your mind

To your heart...
Let my love open the door...
To your heart...
Let my love open the door...

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
And erase yourself from misery
There's only one thing that's gonna set you free...

When trouble really falls you...
Don't let it tie you down
Love can cure your problems
You're so lucky I'm around

Let my love open your door...  (3x)

LOSE YOUR SHIP (Nice Cave & The Bad Seeds) (Denver, Colorado.  20 June 1995)

Come sail your ships around me
and burn your bridges down
We make a little history, baby
Every time you come around

Come loose your dogs upon me
And let your hair hang down
You are a little mystery to me
Everytime you come around

We talked about it all night long
We define our moral ground
But when I crawl into your arms
Everything comes tumbling down

Come sail your ships around me
And burn your bridges down


LOVE YOU, HATE YOU (Zurich, Switzerland.  18 June 1992)

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, whoa...
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...ah, yeah...

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

That time has come and gone, now it's just me...
Just me...this means nothin' no more
This don't mean nothin' no more
I don't want to see this no more...
Unless you're ready, less you're ready, to stand behind it...
I don't give a fuck...
Let the words that you say to me...
Unless the actions sustain it
It's meaningless...we're all meaningless...

The world will go on...and we're all meaningless...
The world will spin...we're all meaningless...
I refuse, I refuse, to believe...
We're meaningless, meaningless, we're meaningless, I refuse...
I won't give up, yeah...
Meaningless...we're not meaningless...
We're not invisible...we're meaningless...
If you love someone, tell 'em...
Show them the way that you feel...
Shower the people you love with love, show them the way that you feel  (3x)
Oh...

Sleep, sleep tonight
And may your dreams be realized
If the thunder cloud passes rain
So let it rain, rain down him
So let it be
Sleep, sleep tonight
And may your dreams be realized
If the thunder cloud passes rain
So let it rain, let it rain
Rain on him


MY GENERATION (The Who) (various dates)

People try to put us...talkin' 'bout my generation...

MYSTERY (Ten Demo)

Yes, it's true...shining wine...
Go on leave with the morning light
My love, on the wing at night she rides
Fade away where the sun cleared out

Yeah...fade away...

Little time in this life...sometime it seems...
Twilight world, dark, living dream
Feel how...say no more, but stay, yeah...
The love you are, always...yeah...

Feel the motion with this song...
Like a river churnin', pullin'...

You said, "where have you been for a hundred years?"
Out in the sky...you fell beneath...
Turnin' down a road...leads I know not where
Forever turnin' back, yeah...

Feel the motion with this song...
Like a river churnin', pullin'...
Feel the motion with this song...
Like a river...like an...


ONCE IN OUR LIVES (Milan, Italy.  17 June 1992)

Once in our life, at least once in our lives
Someone's gonna call you crazy, someone's gonna tell you you're crazy

At least once in your life, for me at least once every day
Someone's gonna call you crazy, someone's gonna say you're crazy

But I know they're the ones, they're the ones
I'm not crazy, they're the ones...

I'm not crazy...  (4x)
They're the ones...

You don't meet the people...G-d gave the people bread...
Leave our tired...leave our tired here, yeah...

Be careful with your brother


PATRIOT (Steve Van Zandt) (various dates)

And the rivers shall open for the righteous  (2x)
And the rivers shall open for the righteous, someday

I went walking, with my brother
And he wondered, oh, how I am
Said what I believe with my soul
Ain't what I see with my eyes
And there's no turning back this time
I am a patriot, and I love my country
Because my country is all I know
I wanna be with my family
People who understand me
I got no place else to go...I am a patriot...

I went walking, with my girlfriend
She looked so fine, I said baby what's on your mind
She said I wanna run like the lions
Released from their cages
Released from the rages burning in my soul tonight...I am a patriot...

And I ain't no communist, and I ain't no socialist
And I ain't no capitalist, and I ain't no imperialist
And I ain't no democrat, I sure ain't no republican either
I only know one party, and that is freedom, I am, I am, I am
I am a patriot, and I love my country
Because my country is all I know

And the rivers shall open for the righteous  (2x)
And the rivers shall open for the righteous, someday
Someday, someday, someday...


PIECE OF CRAP (Neil Young) (various dates)

Tried to save the trees, bought a plastic bag
The bottom fell out, it was a piece 'a crap...piece of crap...

Wanted an LP, only had CD's
Digitally clean, it was a piece of crap...piece of crap...

Bought myself a can, thought it'd take me far
The dealer was a liar, he was a piece of crap...piece of crap...

Got it from my friend, on him you can depend
I found out in the end, it was a piece of crap...piece of crap...

I'm trying to save the trees, I saw it on TV
They cut the forest down to build a piece of crap...piece of crap...

Picked up a magazine to read about the scene
It didn't tell me beans, it was a piece of crap...piece of crap...

I went back to the store, they gave me four more
The guy told me at the door it was a piece of crap...
It was a piece of crap...


REDEMPTION SONG (Bob Marley) (Missoula, Montana, 2/8/95)

Pirates, I'm sayin' they rob I
Board the merchant ships
I'm not sayin' we're not a part of it
>From the bottomless pit
But my hands were made strong
By the force of the Almighty
They don't say that your generation, triumphantly

Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom
'Cause all I ever had
Redemption song

Emancipate yourself from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our mind
Have no fear for atomic energy
'Cause none of them can stop the time

How long can they steal our prophets
While we stand beside and look
They don't say I'm your generation
Oh, and I say...

Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom
'Cause all I ever had
Redemption song  (2x)

Emancipate yourself from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our mind
Have no fear for atomic energy
'Cause none of them can stop the time

How long can they steal our prophets
While we stand beside and look
Say some say it's just a part of it
You got to fulfill the book...

Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom
'Cause all I ever had
Redemption song
'Cause all I ever had
Redemption song  (2x)
This song of freedom
Oh...


ROCKIN' IN THE FREE WORLD (Neil Young) (various dates)

There are colors on the street...red, white, and blue
People shufflin' their feet, people sleepin' in their shoes
There's a warnin' sign in the road ahead
There's a lot of people sayin' we'd be better off dead
Don't feel like Satan, but I am to them
So I try to forgive 'em, any way I can, yeah...

I see a girl in the night with a baby in her hands
Under an old street light, oh, near a garbage can
Now she put her kid away, she's gone to get a hit
She hates her life, and what she's done with it
That's one more kid, that'll never go to school
Never get to fall in love, never get to be cool

Keep on rockin' in the free world  (3x)

( The US of A, the United States                               )
( Ain't a free place, it's not a free place                    )
( Ain't got the right to choose, barely got the right to vote  )
( There they got the right to make an honest buck              )
( The USA ain't a free, free place                             )

There's a thousand points of light for the colored man
There's a kinder, gentler police man's hand
There's department stores, and toilet paper
Styrofoam garbage for the Ozone layer
There's a man of the people, said 'keep hope alive'
Got fuel to burn, got roads to drive
Keep on rockin' in the free world  (4x)


RUBY TUESDAY (The Rolling Stones)

Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday
Who could hang a name on you?
When you smile with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you...


SAYING NO! (Den Haag, Holland.  2 March 1992)

He says to her he wants it easy
He expects her, to be easy
He wants it, to be, easy
But she says no, but she says no, I don't want to
She says no, she says no, I don't want to
He expects it too, easy...

But she says stop, you gotta stop
When he says go, you still gotta stop
When she says stop, you gotta stop    } (3x)
When he says go, you still gotta stop }

He wants it, he wants it

When she says no, you gotta stop
When he says go, you still gotta stop
When she says no, you gotta stop
When he says go, you still gotta stop, yeah...

He's just as hurt `cause he wants to prove it
We sit back, like they taught us
Keep quiet, just like they taught us
He just wants, he wants to prove it
He's just hurt, she don't remove it
We sit back, like they taught us
Like they taught us, like they taught us...


SHERATON GIBSON (Pete Townshend) (various dates)

I'm sittin' in the Sheraton Gibson palying my Gibson...
And boy, do I want to go home...

And boy, do I feel all alone...

Cleveland, ho!  Eveil on my mind...
Cleveland, ho!  I wish I was home this time...
Don't want to be unkind...

I'm sittin' in the Sheraton Gibson playing my Gibson...
And thinking about a Sunday barbecue...
I'm sittin' in the Sheraton Gibson playing my Gibson...
In my mind is a cleveland afternoon...

Cleveland, ho!  Eveil on my mind...
Cleveland, ho!  I wish I was home this time...
Don't want to be unkind...

I'm sittin' in the Sheraton Gibson playing my Gibson...
And boy, do I want to go home...


SHIP SONG  (Nice Cave & The Bad Seeds)

Come sail your ships around me
and burn your bridges down
We make a little history, baby
Every time you come around

Come loose your dogs upon  me
And let your hair hang down
You are a little mystery to me
Everytime you come around

We talked about it all night long
We define our moral ground
But when I crawl into your arms
Everything comes tumbling down

Come sail your ships around me
And burn your bridges down

The cloths you're wearing, girl, are causing public scenes, I said a...

Not your steppin' stone...  (2x)

When I first met you girl, you didn't have no shoes

SUGGESTION (Fugazi) (various dates)

Why can't I walk down the street free of suggestion?  (2x)

She does nothing to deserve it
He only wants, he wants to observe it
We sit back like they taught us
Keep quiet like they taught us

He just wants, he wants to prove it
She does nothing to remove it
We don't want anyone to mind us
Play the role that they've assigned us

She does nothing to conceal it
He touches her 'cause he wants to feel it
We blame her for being there


SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL (The Rolling Stones)

Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man's soul and face

And I was 'round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hand and sealed his fate

Woke up this mornin', cried with the rising sun
Three little birds were on my doorstep
Singin' sweet songs of melodies pure and smooth
Singin, 'this is a message to you'

Every little thing's gonna be alright...alright...
Said a don't worry about a thing...worry 'bout a thing now...
Every little thing, yeah, is gonna be alright...alright...yeah...

As I go runnin' down your street

I will squeeze the life right out of your

And you will throw your arms around me  (2x)

I really don't know how I came here...
I really don't know why I'm stayin' here...

I really don't know why I have to care...
Oh oh oh, I'm walkin' the cow...
But the stars in your eyes...

Words seem so out of place
words they fall off my altar

Falling out on my face, yeah...
