If I Fall Through

if i stop and say that's it what would you do
if i lie down and quit and put and end to you
if i fall through that hole would you pick me up
if i lose my control and break your loving cup

if i fall through
if i fall through

if i love you too hard would you slow me down
if i crawl through your yard my face on the ground
if i fall through that hole mighty river below
if i lose my control would you not let go

if i fall through
if i fall through

(solo)

if i fall through
if i fall through
if i fall through

Thought It Was Free

if i met you you were mistaken
and i'll bet you'll be gone today
cause you got what you wanted from others
but you found out it's not my way

and i'll never lend you my records
and i'll never lend you the cash
cause to you it's always like christmas
and i know you're just a flash in the pan of love

well you hustle drinks from the cotton twill boys
even ones you didn't know
made him work for his last dollar
and you made him walk home in the snow

you thought it was rough when you thought you were down
your living in greed got you running around
thought it was love but you sure had to go
thought it was free now you spend it alone

so don't tell me that the men don't love you
you made the rules you've got to sleep with the game
hustle wine on wednesdays and thursdays
want a husband the rest of the days
then you ask if this song's got your name on it
is this song about you or for you
guilt is the only cause in the world for your fear does it really annoy you

you thought it was rough when you thought you were down
living in greed got you running around
thought it was love but you sure had to go
thought it was free now you spend it alone

you thought it was free
thought it was free
you thought it was free
thought it was free
you thought it was free

it takes a truck to take what you've taken
i gotta squint to see what you gave
it takes a shovel to hear what you're talking
it takes a miracle to make you stay

you thought it was rough when you thought you were down
living in greed got you running around
thought it was love but you sure had to go
thought it was free now you spend it alone

you thought it was free
you thought it was free
you thought it was free
you thought it was free

She Revolves

she says she's free
but she's got a baby and she don't look free to me
she don't need love
she calls him to come home she calls him her tommy gun

she revolves around the sun
she revolves around the sun

she don't need me
like she don't need breathing and she don't need eyes to see
she says it's hard
berries and babies are growing in her backyard

she revolves around the sun
she revolves around the sun
she revolves around the sun
she revolves around the sun

(solo)

she revolves around the sun
she revolves around the sun
she revolves around the sun
she revolves around the sun

What A Way To Go

i met a man out on a bridge pier
he said he's gonna jump to save his soul
i said what's the world done to make you mad man
he said sit down son now here's the dope
i can't find work 'cause i'm a blind man
i can't see but sometimes i can see the light
now is my life a labor of love or is my life a love of labor
i still got a hollow feeling in my life

what a way to go
what a way to go
what a way to go
what a way to go

i met this girl her name escapes me
said son i'd love you to be my man
she wrote her name out on a dollar
i spent that dollar on a shot of jim
spent it on a shot of jim

i talked him down and then i walked off
i turned around and he was gone himself
a mile down the road it came upon me
it was me i talked off that ledge
it was me i talked off that ledge
it was me i talked off that ledge

what a way to go
what a way to go
what a way to go

Daylights

don't look around for me
don't tell me what you wanna be
don't say it's not the same
don't walk ahead and then lose your way

you scare the daylights out of me
you scare the daylights out of me

don't stand outside my door
don't tell me what you're living for
don't tell me you don't care
i never told you life was fair

you scare the daylights out of me
you scare the daylights out of me

i don't think you understand
back to back and hand to hand

don't tell me you don't see
what went wrong and what you mean to me

you scare the daylights out of me
you scare the daylights out of me
i don't think you understand
back to back and hand to hand

you scare the daylights out of me
you scare the daylights out of me

Dear Prudence*

Dear Prudence, won't you come out to play
Dear Prudence, greet the brand new day
The sun is up, the sky is blue
It's beautiful and so are you
Dear Prudence won't you come out and play

Dear Prudence open up your eyes
Dear Prudence see the sunny skies
The wind is low the birds will sing
that you are part of everything
Dear Prudence won't you open up your eyes?

Look around round
Look around round round
Look around

Dear Prudence let me see you smile
Dear Prudence like a little child
The clouds will be a daisy chain
So let me see you smile again
Dear Prudence won't you let me see you smile?

*Written by John Lennon - 1968

Goodbye

she burns his evil heart with her evil eye
she gets her wicked way with her wicked smile
she takes him by the hand and leads him to the door
it's not what he came here for

he takes her to the gate and he says goodbye
he walks the streets alone and he wonders why
he takes her by the hand and leads her to the floor
it's not what she came here for it's not what she's looking for

goodbye she wonders why
she says what did i do what can i do
i don't know what to say i just don't want to say goodbye
it makes her cry
he says it's got nothing to do to do with you

why she wonders why
she says i'll leave you alone i'll leave you alone
try they give it one more try
she's on the floor he's out the door

Out of Sight, Out of Mind

you grew up in a sheltered world where money meant a lot
your mother was a faker your parents always fought
the values they meant more before when i look at your place
your hair it cost a hundred dollars and there's shit all over your face

out of sight out of mind
too much money too much time
out of sight out of mind
too much money too much time

the stories that we used to tell of how we'd beg and borrow
i hear your son is screaming pop would you buy me a car tomorrow
they sued the principal today for putting sister in her place
but all she sees is a reflection and the razors in her face

out of sight out of mind
too much money too much time
out of sight out of mind
too much money too much there's too much time

your father thought he sheltered you and kept you from temptation
now you watch a lot of tv and you tell him that you hate him
out of sight out of mind
too much money too much time
out of sight out of mind
too much money too much time
out of sight out of mind
too much money too much time
out of sight out of mind
too much money too much time
out of sight out of mind

Penny On The Floor

there's a penny on the floor and you're gone
the television's on
have you found another man to take my place

there's a penny on the floor and i'm wise
i try to see in your eyes
but all i see is a reflection of my face

there's a penny on the floor and you're gone
i'm trying to right what's wrong
a stronger man might do it with more grace

there's a penny on the floor and i'm wise
i look up to the skies
i cry and pray and i stare out into space

there's a penny on the floor and you're standing at the door
turn around and say goodbye
a woman like you comes around just once a life

there's a penny on the floor and and i'm strong
i'll try to carry on
realizing no one can take your place

there's a penny on the floor and and i'm fine
i know it's gonna take some time
before i look at you without looking at my own face

penny on the floor i'm tired of the war
penny on the track are you coming back

there's a penny on the floor and it stays
as a tribute to the days
that were spent with you no one can take them away

there's a penny on the floor and it stays
as a tribute to the ways
you filled my soul with courage hope and grace

there's a penny on the floor and you're standing at the door
turn around and say goodbye
a woman like you comes around just once a life

there's a penny on the floor and you're standing at the door
turn around and say goodbye
a woman like you comes around it won't bring me down

Train Of Love

there's a train of love comin' round the corner
there's a train of love crossing the border
there's a train of love comin' round the corner
gonna jump on gonna jump on at the border
train of love is comin' round the corner

i got the fear of god and some money tucked away in my shoe
i got a little green bud in a locket with a picture of you
i got permission from your dad and a kiss from your mother
they send you their love they want to send you your brother
train of love is comin' round the corner

the engineer is crazy and the train is travellin' so fast
you've got to jump on the future with little regard for the past
johnny walked the line and i'm gonna follow
get her home tonight she might not see tomorrow
train of love is comin' round the corner

grab your levi's and bring your cowboy boots
quit your job say goodbye tell your friends you're leaving tonight
on the train of love
train of love
train of love

if you're feeling kind of crazy we could take this train through the woods
we'll get married in the forest honeymoon in my neighborhood
the twins are on the way hannah and samantha
we'll buy a big house and live happy ever after
train of love is comin' round to take me to you

grab your levi's and bring your cowboy boots
quit your job say goodbye tell your friends you're leaving tonight
on the train of love

train of love
train of love
train of love
train of love

(solo)

train of love
train of love
train of love
train of love
train of love is comin' round the corner
train of love is comin' round the corner
train of love is comin' round the corner

Caroline (Hidden Track)

You can scrutinize my actions, you can break me into fractions,
you can walk away
You can polarize my friends, destroy the letters that
I send or you can run away
You can terrorize my neighbors with your Mr. Hyde behavior,
you can drink away
You can exorcise your demons, bite and scratch and kick and scream,
you can act away
And if you ever open your eyes, you won't find me standing in line

You can cauterize my feelings with your flaming tongue leave me reeling
you can talk away
You can compromise my passion, call me fake and call me fashion,
you can write away
You can rationalize a purchase with my money and say it's worth it
You can tear me up or tie me down and kick me on the ground
And if you ever open your eyes, you won't find me standing in line
Caroline, it's a waste of time

Don't you want me to come back Caroline?
Don't you want me to fly back Caroline?

You can scrutinize my actions, you can break me into fractions,
you can walk away
You can idolize your drum machine, say the Beatles suck and
dis the King and walk away
You can finalize the ending, break the rules that you've been bending
You can find a brand new lover, run away and then discover
You can't outrun your actions, you can't get no satisfaction
And if you ever open your eyes, you won't find me standing in line

Caroline, it's a waste of time
