Take a Walk (Neil Finn) (3:53)
 
Time to slip out my back door
Sunrise dancing on my wall
Heading down off beaten tracks
Try to get that feeling back

I could take a walk again
Up a mountain to a stream
Standing on the open rock
Looking out over the sea
Funny when we move ahead
Never worry what we leave behind
I could always find some peace
In the back of beyond

Kind voice from yesterday
Give love fill up every space
But now I laugh at simple truth
Sneer and frown like we all do

When the long night awakes
With memories a midnight feast
Feel the boy in me escape
There's a field of frost beneath my feet
Run, never tire, run boy, forever and ever

I could take a walk again
Up a mountain to a stream
Standing on the open rock
Looking out over the sea
Funny when we move ahead
Never worry what we leave behind
Remember what a friend of mine said
You gotta be kind

 

Down On the Corner (Johnny Marr) (4:31)

 

There Is a Light That Never Goes Out (J. Marr, J. Morrissey) (4:22)
 
Take me out tonight
Where there's music and there's people and their young and alive
Driving in your car, I never never want to go home
Because I haven't got one, anymore
Take me out tonight
Because I want to see people and I want to see life
Driving in your car, oh please don't drop me home
Because it's not my home, it's their home, and I'm welcome no more

And if a double decker bus, kills the both of us
Today by your side is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten ton truck, crashes into us
Today by your side, well the pleasure, the privilege is mine

Take me out tonight
Well take me anywhere, I don't care I don't care
And in a darkened underpass, 
I thought my God my chance has come at least
But a strange fear gripped me and I - I just couldn't ask
Take me out tonight
Well take me anywhere, I don't care I don't care
Just driving in your car, I never never want to go home
Because I haven't got one, I haven't got one

And if a double decker bus, crashes into us
Today by your side is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten ton truck, kills the both of us
Today by your side, well the pleasure, the privilege is mine

There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out

There is a light that never goes out

 

Paper Doll (Lisa Germanno) (2:56)

 

Angels Heap (N. Finn, T. Finn) (3:50)
 
News travels fast
There's an old wreck in the underpass
Wine in a glass
And a well traveled bad
Down the length and breadth of the motorway
Down the information highway

I took a ride in an angels heap
And she took me away to where the hills are steep
And she made me come alive in a red vinyl seat
Yeah I took a ride

In the still mind of a child
There's a live bird on her shoulder
She could swallow a lie
Like she's drinking a flagon of beer
I'll never be the same again
Let the black wheels fly over

I took a ride in an angels heap
And she took me away to where the air was sweet
And she made me come alive in a red vinyl seat
Yeah I took a ride

Let the black wheels fly over

 

Edible Flowers (N. Finn, T. Finn) (4:57)
 
Everybody wants the same thing
Everybody wants the same thing
To see another birthday...

Look at all the pretty numbers
Look at all the pretty numbers
Scattered over the calendar

I can see my reflection
I can see my reflection
In the shop window

Who owns that space?
Declare it if you dare tonight
Don't let the moment pass until another day
Bright lights dissolve
Like sugar deep inside you now
All is not the same somehow
I'm hardly here at all

All the trash and the treasure,
All the trash and the treasure,
All the pain and the pleasure.

Taste the edible flowers,
Taste the edible flowers,
Scattered in the salad-days(?)

Who owns that space?
Declare it if you dare tonight
Don't let the moment pass until another day
Bright lights dissolve
Like sugar deep inside you now
And still the rain keeps coming down.
I'm hardly here at all.

Everything's gone quiet now
I'm hardly here at all.

 

Stuff and Nonsense (Tim Finn) (4:20)
 
Disobey my own decisions, I deserve all your suspicion
First it's yes and then it's no, I dilly dally down to duo
But I've got no secrets that I babble in my sleep,
I won't make promises to you that I can't keep

And you know that I love you, here and now, not forever
I can give you the present, I don't know 'bout the future,
that's all stuff and nonsense

I once lived for the future, every day was one day closer
Greener on the other side, this I believed before I met you
I soon learned your love burned brighter than the stars in my eyes
Now I know how and when, I know where and why

And you know that I love you, here and now, not forever
I can give you the present, I don't know 'bout the future,
that's all stuff and nonsense

 

I See Red (Tim Finn) (3:31)
 
When my baby's walking down the street
I see red, I see red, I see red.
How could someone wicked walk around free
I see red, I see red, I see red.
I see re-ed, I see red (red!), I see re-ed.

I respect your wishes
You gave me such precious hours
What to do without you.
Squeezed me out of your life
Down the drain like molten toothpaste
I feel used and spat out.
Poor old me

When my baby's walking down the street
I see red, I see red, I see red.
How could someone wicked walk around free
I see red, I see red, I see red.
I see re-ed, I see red (red!), I see re-ed.

I'm fed up with crying
My despair is dying,
Turning into rage, day by day
Green before you met me
In the pink when you let me love you
I was blue when you let me down
Black and Blue

When my baby's walking down the street
I see red, I see red, I see red.
How could someone wicked walk around free
I see red, I see red, I see red.
I see re-ed, I see red (red!), I see re-ed.

I see red, I see red, I see red...

 

Parting Ways (Eddie Vedder) (5:50)

 

Paradise (Wherever You Are) (N. Finn, T. Finn) (4:06)
 
Endless travel can't remember
Where I've been
Lying in this hammock, feeling tragic
Like the ones you hear so much about
Can't wait to tell you what I've seen

Skim the water, South Atlantic
Ocean grey
Always searching for his mate
Lonely albatross cannot find them
The ones you care so much about
They're lost and you're losing
Your way

Too much pressure, gin and tonic water
They'll forget you, the ones you care
So much about
They'll surrender to the need

Paradise wherever you are.
