One fine day

One fine day
You'll look at me
And you will know
Our love was meant to be
One fine day
You're gonna want me for your girl

The arms I long for
Will open wide
And you'll be proud
To have me by your side
One fine day
You're gonna want me for your girl

Though I know you're the kind of guy
Who only wants to run around
I'll keep waiting and someday, darling
You'll come to me
When you want to settle down, oh

One fine day
We'll meet once more
And then you'll want
The love you threw away before
One fine day
You're gonna want me for your girl

Though I know you're the kind of guy
Who only wants to run around
I'll keep waiting and someday, darling
You'll come to me
When you want to settle down, oh

One fine day
We'll meet once more
And then you'll want
The love you threw away before
One fine day
You're gonna want me for your girl 

Macarthur Park

Spring was never waiting for us, dear
It ran one step ahead
As we followed in the dance

MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no

I recall the yellow cotton dress
Foaming like a wave
On the ground beneath your knees
The birds, like tender babies in your hands
And the old men playing Chinese checkers by the trees

MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no

MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left my cake out in the rain
And I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no, oh 

Thundercrack

Her brains they rattle and her bones they shake
Whoah, she's an angel from the Innerlake

Thundercrack, baby's back
This time she'll tell me how she really feels
Bring me down to her lightning shack
You can watch my partner reelin'

She moves up, she moves back
Out on the floor there just is no one cleaner
She does this thing she calls the "Jump back Jack"
She's got the heart of a ballerina

She's straight from the Bronx
Hung off the line
She slips, she slides, she slops, she bops, she bumps, she grinds
Even them dance hall hacks
From the west side of the tracks
Move in close to catch her timin'

She ain't no little girl, she ain't got no curls
Her hair ain't brown, and her eyes ain't either
Round and round and round and round

My heart's wood, she's a carpenter
She's an angel in the night, what she does is alright
Dance with me, partner, dance with me, partner
Dance with me, partner, 'til the dawn

Thundercrack, baby's back
This time she'll tell me how she really feels
Bring me down to her lightning shack
You can watch my partner reelin'

She ain't no little girl, she ain't got no curls
Her hair ain't brown, and her eyes ain't either
Round and round and round and round

My heart's wood, she's a carpenter
She's an angel in the night, what she does is alright
Dance with me, partner, dance with me, partner
Dance with me, partner, all night 

Savin' up

You may have diamonds
You may have pearls
You may think you got it baby
Over all the other girls
But honey you ain't got nothing
And I'll tell you why
If you're empty as a soul can be, baby
Deep down inside

You better start savin' up
For the things that money can't buy
You better start savin' up
For the things that money can't buy
You better start savin' up
For the things that money can't buy
You better start savin' up
For the things that money can't buy

You may have a big backyard
And ruby rings
And my love's just a second-place runner, honey
To your fancy things
But what you got to hold on to
When the lights go down
You come lookin' for me baby
But I ain't nowhere around

You better start savin' up
For the things that money can't buy
You better start savin' up
For the things that money can't buy
You better start

You need a strong man, baby
To love and understand you
A man who ain't afraid, sugar
To get some dirt on his hands for you
And when you're feeling so down-hearted
And all you wanna do is cry
Ah, just come on, take my hand, baby
Together you and I

We could start savin' up
For the things that money can't buy
We'd better start savin' up
For the things that money can't buy
You better start savin' up
For the things that money can't buy
You better start savin' up
For the things that money can't buy 

Slow turning

When I was a boy
I thought it just came to you
But I never could tell what's mine
So it didn't matter anyway

My only pride and joy
Was this racket down here
Banging on an old guitar
And singing what I had to say

I always thought our house was haunted
'Cause nobody said "boo" to me
I never did get what I wanted
But now I get what I need

It's been a slow turning
From the inside out
A slow turning
But you come about

A slow learning
But you learn to sway-ah-hay-hay-hay
A slow turning, baby
Not fade away, not fade away, not fade away

Now I'm in my car
Ouu, I got the radio down
Now I'm yelling at the kids in the back
'Cause they're banging like Charlie Watts

You think you've come so far
In this one horse town
Then she's laughing that crazy laugh
'Cause you haven't left the parking lot

Time is short and here's the damn thing about it
You're gonna die, gonna die for sure
And you can learn to live with love or without it
But there ain't no cure

It's just a slow turning
From the inside out
A slow turning
But you come about, ya

A slow turning, baby
But you learn to sway-ah-hay-hay-hay
A slow turning
Not fade away, not fade away, not fade away
Not fade away, not fade away

A slow turning, a slow turning
A slow turning, a slow turning 

I remember everything

Alright

I've been down this road before
I remember every tree
Every single blade of grass
Holds a special place for me
And I remember every town
And every hotel room
Every song I ever sang
On a guitar out of tune

I remember everything
Things I can't forget
The way you turned and smiled on me
On the night that we first met
And I remember every night
Your ocean eyes of blue
How I miss you in the morning light
Like roses miss the dew

I've been down this road before
Alone as I can be
Careful not to let my past
Go sneaking up on me
Got no future in my happiness
Though regrets are very few
Sometimes a little tenderness
Was the best that I could do

I remember everything
Things I can't forget
Swimming pools of butterflies
That slipped right through the net
And I remember every night
Your ocean eyes of blue
How I miss you in the morning light
Like roses miss the dew

How I miss you in the morning light
Like roses miss the dew 

Lyin' in a bed of fire

Where does all the smoke come from baby
Ain't it hard to see through it
Don't it hurt your eyes to try
It was so much easier yesterday
When all we had to do was survive

Well it's trust somebody or we're all goin' down baby
But the neighborhood ain't what it used to be
In case you ain't looked lately
You wait and pray, maybe it'll all go away
It clings like a curse
But being nowhere is worse

We're lyin' in a bed of fire
Did we come all this way just to blow it
We're lyin' in a bed of fire
We're burnin' and we don't even know it
We're lyin' in a bed of fire
If you want to keep what you got then defend her
We're lyin' in a bed of fire
Better wake up now or surrender

Whatever happened to everybody I heard talkin' so loud
All the changes that never came to be
I've still got that same old bad taste in my mouth
Somebody took something that once belonged to me

Well it may not be in my best interest to be pointing my finger
But I'm still pointing my finger right at you
Take control or keep following blind
I'm trying to get straight but I'm running out of time

We're lyin' in a bed of fire
Can't you feel the heat all around us
We're lyin' in a bed of fire
The flames threatening to drown us

Had me a real bad dream last night
This morning my bad dream was alive walking the streets of New York
City
Somebody has to face this thing somehow
There's no one left but us now
We're all just lyin' in a bed of fire  

I don't want to go home

I know that it's getting late
But I don't want to go home
I am in no hurry baby time can wait
I don't want to go home
Listen to the man sing his song
I don't want to go home
I don't mind baby to stay alnight long
Cause I don't want to go home

Listen baby
I know we had to try
To reach up and touch the sky baby
What ever happened to you and I
That I don't want to go home

Look at all the people staying
Saying I don't want to go home
In the night
I don't want to go home
I know the words to the song I feel
I don't want to go home
I know it's talking about the way I feel
I don't want to go home

Listen baby
I know we had to try
To reach up and touch the sky baby
What ever happened to you and I
That I don't want to go home

I want to hear people laughing
And having a good time
I want to know why she told me she had to go
Why did she leave me lonely

I know it's time to go
But I don't want to go home
You don't play the blues soft and low
Cause I don't want to go home

Listen baby
I know we had to try
To reach up and touch the sky baby
What ever happened to you and I
That I don't want to go home 

People have the power

I was dreaming in my dreaming
Of an aspect bright and fair
Oh, and my sleeping it was broken
But my dream it lingered near
In the form of shining valleys
Where the pure air recognized
Oh, and my senses newly opened
And I awakened to the cry

That the people have the power
To redeem the work of fools
From the meek the graces shower
It's decreed the people rule

People have the power
People have the power
People have the power
People have the power

Vengeful aspects became suspect
And bending low as if to hear
Well, and the armies ceased advancing
Because the people had their ear
And the shepherds and the soldiers
And they laid among the stars
Exchanging visions, laying arms
To waste in the dust

In the form of shining valleys
Where the pure air recognized
And my senses newly opened
And I awakened to the cry

People have the power
People have the power
People have the power
People have the power

Where there were deserts, I saw fountains
Like cream the waters rise
And we strolled there together
With none to laugh or criticize
There is no leopard and the lamb
And lay together truly bound
Well I was hoping in my hoping
To recall what I had found

Well, I was dreaming in my dreaming
God knows a pure view
As I lay down into my sleeping
And I commit my dream to you

People have the power
People have the power
People have the power
People have the power

The power to dream, to rule
To wrestle the Earth from fools
But it's decreed, the people rule
But it's decreed, the people rule

Listen, I believe everything we dream
Can come to pass through our union
We can turn the world around
We can turn the Earth's revolution

We have the power
People have the power
People have the power
People have the power

The power to dream, to rule
To wrestle the earth from fools
But it's decreed, the people rule
But it's decreed, the people rule

We have the power
We have the power
People have the power
We have the power 

Champagne Corolla

Woo!

Hair up high and seat reared back
Looked like she should be driving something long and black
All I'm asking you
Is, "Brother, do you know her?"
Pretty little thing, ridin' by in a champagne Corolla

I've seen you 'round here just last night
Today she been by maybe two or three times
Ain't you listening to me
Lord, I done told ya
Pretty little thing, ridin' by in a champagne Corolla

Asked the boys on the corner
Did they know how many them things you think is out on the road
The one I mean
I say, "If you seen her, you know her"
Pretty little thing, ridin' by in a champagne Corolla

I don't care what no man say
She can run all week on just one tank
Goes to show you
Maybe baby got a head on her shoulders
And she sure looks sweet driving by in that champagne Corolla

I know every man thinks that he need some high tone woman
Built for speed
But you can't trust a rich girl
And no further you can throw her
Need a middle class queen, ridin' by in a champagne Corolla, hey!

LE, LS, SS, GT
Don't mean one damn thing to me
Just get me somethin' that will get me where I'm goin'
Like that pretty little girl ridin' by in a champagne Corolla

Woah, my God, so help me
I'd jump on the side if she'd just have me
All she got to do is give me a little tap on the shoulder
Oh, and I'd ride away with the girl in the champagne Corollan, hey! 

Don't take away the music

Don't take away the music
It's the only thing I've got
It's my piece of the rock

I knew you were always there
You were my song
How am I supposed to bear it
Now that you've gone

Would you separate the words
Hoo, from a sweet melody
Baby would you take away
The music from a symphony

Don't take away (Don't take away) the music
It's the only thing I've got
It's my piece of the rock
Don't take away (Don't take away) the music
Everything else is gone
Don't strip my world of this song

Every time you whispered low
My heart would sing
Now it's silent like the phone
The phone that never rings

Memories of love's refrain
Memories keep haunting me
What are we doing to the song we sang
What happened to our sweet harmony

Don't take away (Don't take away) the music
It's the only thing I've got
It's my piece of the rock
Don't take away (Don't take away) the music
Everything else is gone
Don't strip my world of this song

Don't take my music ooh ooh ooh
Don't take my music ooh ooh ooh
Don't take my music ooh ooh ooh
Don't take my music ooh ooh ooh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Since you're not here with me
My whole life seems out of key

Don't take away (Don't take away) the music
It's the only thing I've got
It's my piece of the rock
Don't take away the music...
