Hardened Heart Wasting away You’re a waiting room Painful to say But you dug that tomb You’re feeling weak, but that’s the way things are Trying to make love with a hardened heart Trying to make love with a hardened heart Eyes scan the room Skin you long to touch No other man Has ever carded so much You stop to speak, but that’s the hardest part Trying to make love with a hardened heart Trying to make love with a hardened heart One day you’ll find You can’t run, you can’t hide, You can’t keep your wits about it Too scared to die — So sigh…

State Of Things Today Each night I’ve been singing songs about myself I — I always thought that this might end some pain No — I’ve come to find that some things never change But I feel all right Each night I’ve been drinking more than I should tell I — I hate to see me pinned against myself So — long to the reeling of my brain But I feel all right Each night, I’ve been dreaming ‘bout the woman with the silver cup Sweet, I know it’s water but it’s her that makes the flavor change So, She grabs another when I get the strength to stand back up And I feel all right Down for a good time and if she’s got it Take me as you need me, any way you want it Somewhere the stars shine a flash of comet Honey can you blame me for just trying to get up on it? (woah)

Neon 02:40
Neon Young thing knocks me over Where’d she come from? Who’s her lover? No time to mull it over Keep my head on I need to know her Scream if you want it Lust could lead to ecstasy Howl if you got it Girl crawl up on next to me Well I’ll take her, good gracious, I’d make her Got no reservations What’s the sense in hesitation? I’m at the railroad station Two lights burning, red conversation Chorus She’s like a neon sign Watch her shining as the beat goes on It goes on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on— She’s like a neon sign Hook and line you feel it coming on It goes on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on— She thinks she’s so rock ‘n roll She thinks she’s so full of soul She thinks she’s got it Well I don’t want to talk about it She’s got me swallowed up whole She’s got me scared for my soul I know she’s got it, And I don’t want to talk about it.

Sewanee 03:33
Sewanee When looking back at Lady Rosaline I wonder now and then Where she has gone? A Mother Goose with all her goslin’ Bolero settles in Ma mère l'oye Musing over a young corporal’s dreams Famous far-faded Egyptian queen The rose of youth is such a fickle thing It changes its name and it’s gone La di da di da da La di da di da da La di da di da da La di da da da da La di da di da da La di da di da da La di da di da di da — Left Lilthe with another nymph in mind A treasure hard to find Black as a swan I once was lost, but back then I was blind Her eyes were soft and kind Cool and withdrawn Lost my head to that sweet Salome Femme fatale lead Siegfried astray Ophelia I won’t let you just wash away All of this madness is done La di da di da da La di da di da da La di da di da da La di da da da da La di da di da da La di da di da da La di da di da di da — La di da di da da La di da di da da La di da di da da La di da da da da La di da di da da La di da di da da La di da di da di da —

So Sweet, So Subtle Something sweet, something subtle That you wear on your breast Something that gives you trouble And it keeps you from your rest Well I don’t need your name To know what God calls you I’ve seen it all of the time I’ve seen it often I do I’ve seen it all of the time And it leads you to run around This loneliness in you I’ve heard wise men call you fools You who can’t stand on your own They don’t follow their own rules No they couldn’t time has shown O but I’m coming down From this mountain Just for you I’ve seen it all of the time I’ve seen it often I do I’ve seen it all of the time And it leads you to run around This loneliness in you

Annie 03:22
Annie You should’ve been named Annie Married and torn away from me Like a film I saw with you Instead of a woman that weren’t you Bound to remain in the past, Pillar of salt that couldn’t last When the rains came down on you And looking back oh how I loved you But you’re gone, Annie gone, Annie gone But you’re gone, Annie gone, Annie gone But you’re gone, Annie gone, Annie gone Away And so it goes, c’est la vie Bring a new Annie Home to me Please don’t you ever get me wrong I’ve always loved you. But you’re gone, Annie gone, Annie gone But you’re gone, Annie gone, Annie gone But you’re gone, Annie gone, Annie gone Away

Hit the Town 02:49
Hit The Town Hit the town or burn one down? I’m ready to go (but so full of soul) I might just lay down Hit the floor and watch the ceiling Got nothing to do but muse over you Tear it up and get torn down It’s all in your head (least that’s what they said) And you’re coming around Everybody gets those feelings Got nothing to say, but live for today If it’s too much for you You’re just gonna have to Learn to be let down If it’s too much to bear Not being anywhere Make a bigger sound What’ll time take of me? What’ll time make of me? What’ll time break of me? Where will I go? What’ll time give to me? What’ll I live to be? And will I ever see Myself grow old? What’ll time take of me? What’ll time make of me? What’ll time break of me? Where will I go? What’ll time give to me? What’ll I live to be? And will I ever see Myself grow old? Hit the town and burn one down

Old, Low, and Lonesome I’ve been thrown, laid down left alone, Bound to be rejected by the seeds I’ve sown. And my home, like a barren bone, On the day my youngest left it saw how old I’d grown. Wake up in the morning listing to the streets Most days I long to join them, but I’m stuck here to the sheets. Someday I’ll die here in these sheets. Old, low, and lonesome Old, low, and lonesome And my ways, damn this old man’s ways. In the still they were perfected sent my mind ablaze. Wake up in the morning listening to the streets. Most days I long to join them, but I’m stuck here to the sheets. Someday I’ll die here in these sheets. Old, low, and lonesome Old, low, and lonesome

You Set Me 02:55
You Set Me Oh, it was a sight to see when she set him down And set her sights on me Never thought the world could be A place where getting down was just a luxury You used to send me Baa baa ba da ba Baa baa ba da ba But now you set me Baa baa ba da ba Baa baa da Loose Loose Loose Lost hope is something good for you When you forget the loss and look towards something new Well they say that nothing lasts But tell me “what is love?” And tell me, what’s the past? You used to send me Baa baa ba da ba Baa baa ba da ba But now you set me Baa baa ba da ba Baa baa da Loose Loose Loose

War be over 03:42
War Be Over Two stars in the sky Both so certain of the by and by Well if they’d come down and give love a try War’d be over Strange land, foreign lips For a second soldier’s guard it slips If every moment ended up like this War’d be over You will find as you’re wandering outside your mind That in time you will turn into somebody else If you look in then maybe, just maybe, you’ll find That to love you must first fall in love with yourself Oh Selfishly, selflessly Bulldog in the pound Cause he couldn’t find no common ground Well if you didn’t have to put him down War’d be over
11.
High Time 04:02
High Time She bites me once, I bark back too I’ve got a hunch and she knows I do Juliet you’re the East And to the West is a war Why the hell are we still even fighting it for? Deep down we’re hoping we’re the other’s cure Too long I’ve hurt on my own And this pain’s only grown Guess it’s high time I left it behind me Cause I ain’t the same man no more And for once I feel sure That it’s high time I left him behind me Where’s the medicine man? He was drinking and he slipped out last night With a curse for the world Started swimming ‘til the shores left his sight Back here on the coast we’re alone and we’re scared Just blaming each other for what isn’t there And who hurts worse? Well, who really cares? Too Long I’ve hurt on my own And this pain’s only grown Guess it’s high time I left it behind me Cause I ain’t the same man no more And for once I feel sure That it’s high time I left him behind me

Thank You 03:11
Thank You I’d like to thank you People I barely knew I couldn’t lay me down, but you shined some light On wanting to I’d like to thank you Folks who’ve said, “Give ‘em Hell!” When it’s too dark to see, oh your simple words Yeah they do me well Though I still don’t know which way to go — I got good friends all around me Though I’m alone They surround me And I’d like to thank you Face on a silver screen Life from a bygone day, but you taught me some Of what living means And I’d like to thank you Ghosts hanging round this town Talking to those same walls and they’re telling me Not to get so down Though I still don’t know which way to go — I got good friends all around me Though I’m alone They surround me Well it’s just so nice having you to talk to Well it’s just so nice having you to talk to Well it’s just so nice…
