The Air Near My Fingers
Life is so boring
Its really got me snoring
Im wearing out the flooring
In a cheap motel
But I dont have to work
And I might be sinning
But I never have to listen to
The rings of school bells
Dont you remember?
You told me in december
That a boy is not a man
Until he makes a stand
Will, Im not a genius
But maybe youll remember this
I never said I wanted to be a man
I get nervous when she comes around
My mom is so caring
She really got me staring
At all the crazy little things
She does for sure
And I cant seem to think of
Another kind of love
That a boy could ever get
From anyone but her
I get nervous when she comes around

I Dont Remember
I got no means to show identification
I got no papers show you what I am
Youll have to take me just the way that you find me
Whats gone is gone and I do not give a damn
Empty stomach, empty head
I got empty heart and empty bed
I dont remember
I dont remember
I dont remember, I dont recall
I got no memory of anything at all
I dont remember, I dont recall
I got no memory of anything
-anything at all
Strange is your language and I have no decoder
Why dont you make your intentions clear
With eyes to the sun and your mouth to the soda
Saying, tell me the truth, you got nothing to fear
Stop staring at me like a bird of prey
Im all mixed up, I got nothing to say
I dont remember
I dont remember
I dont remember, I dont recall
I got no memory of anything at all
I dont remember, I dont recall
I got no memory of anything
Anything at all
I dont remember, I dont recall
I got no memory of anything at all
I dont remember, I dont recall
I got no memory of anything
Absolutely anything at all
I dont remember

I Remember Love
I dont remember being alone.
I dont remember playing in the rain.
I dont remember going to school, but i remember love,
yes i remember love.
I dont remember singing the blues.
I dont remember cuting school, but i remember love,
yes, i remember love.
yes i remember love, she has a beatifull face,
i remember love, she kept me warm and safe,
yes i remember her love, it was all i needed,
and it became, my food, my wine, and my faith.

Dont Listen To Linda
By tommy boyce & bobby hart
Dont listen to linda
She said all those things before
Shes just a pretender,
And though you couldnt love her more
Shell lead you on, and then one day
Shell say youll have to part
Dont listen to linda
Shell only break your heart.
Dont listen to linda
If you want some good advice,
Just try to remember,
She did it once, shell do it twice
Theres more to her little games,
Than your eyes can see,
Dont listen to linda,
Or youll end up like me.
Youll never understand her
All the presents you could hand her,
Could never be enough, oh no,
So, dont underestimate her,
cause sooner or later,
The goings gonna start to get rough.
Dont listen to linda,
Dont believe the things you hear.
Youll end up, contender,
For the loser of the year.
Ive said everything I can
To try and make you see
Dont listen to linda,
Or youll end up like me.

There Is A War
There is a war between the rich and poor,
A war between the man and the woman.
There is a war between the ones who say there is a war
And the ones who say there isnt.
Why dont you come on back to the war, thats right, get in it,
Why dont you come on back to the war, its just beginning.
Well I live here with a woman and a child,
The situation makes me kind of nervous.
Yes, I rise up from her arms, she says I guess you call this love;
I call it service.
Why dont you come on back to the war, dont be a tourist,
Why dont you come on back to the war, before it hurts us,
Why dont you come on back to the war, lets all get nervous.
You cannot stand what Ive become,
You much prefer the gentleman I was before.
I was so easy to defeat, I was so easy to control,
I didnt even know there was a war.
Why dont you come on back to the war, dont be embarrassed,
Why dont you come on back to the war, you can still get married.
There is a war between the rich and poor,
A war between the man and the woman.
There is a war between the left and right,
A war between the black and white,
A war between the odd and the even.
Why dont you come on back to the war, pick up your tiny burden,
Why dont you come on back to the war, lets all get even,
Why dont you come on back to the war, cant you hear me speaking?

Only You Know & I Know
We know you really only wanna hear
The things we like to say
But if I said to you please dont do it
You do it anyway
Sometimes I know, we gotta be cruel
Be cruel to be kind
When I ask you, what you see in me
You say our love is blind
Cos only you know and I know
The things we mean to say
Only you know and I know
The things we mean to say
Whenever I think I know you better
Better than I know myself
I open up and give you everything
Then you say, o.k. what else
And when I run away you always cry
You always over react
But I dont know if you know how you really feel
But you better know before I get back
Cos only you know and I know
The things we mean to say
Only you know and I know
The things we mean to say
Just try to remember
Now Im the one you love
You told me, ooh try to remember
Im the one youre always thinking of
You told me, please try to remember
Before I walk away
Remember
Its not good enough telling me the way it was yesterday
Cos only you know and I know
The things we mean to say
Only you know and I know
The things we mean to say
Only you know and I know
The things we mean to say, yes
Only you know and I know
The things we mean to say
Only you know and I know...

The Great Ones Remember
Imagine yourself on the verge of committing
An act that youve always found silly or strange
Imagine yourself on the edge of discovering
Lately things have not been going your way
Communication is hard to establish
When things like a state of mind get in the way
People dont eat they just think what you feed them now
The horse with the blinders eating the hay
Silently watching yourself in the mirror
Wondering if somebody else is to blame
Could it be somebodys in on your destiny
Lately things have trouble looking the same
Could it be somebody else has the answer
Could it be somebodys pulling my strings
Say, that is quite a nice dress that youre wearing now
Jump into another ring
Can you imagine what we put up with now
Generals and morons say we are still as proud
We coin the phrases like we must win or die,
Its all so confusing today, hello goodbye
Dont forget that the great ones remember and
Please, dont forget that were nearing december and
Isnt it funny, the way its connected
The print on your shirt and the one on the wall
Imagine if everyone had the same haircut
Wouldnt it be funny running it all?
Communication is hard to maintain
When the clothes that youre wearing are hurting my eyes
Things like improvement dont come overnight, boy
But, at least you could try
Can you imagine what we put up with now
Generals and morons say we are still as proud
We coin the phrases like we must win or die,
Its all too confusing for me, hello goodbye
Dont forget that the great ones remember and
Please, dont forget that were nearing december and
Please, dont forget that the great ones remember and
Please, dont forget where you were toward december.
Please, dont forget that the great ones remember and
Please, dont forget that were nearing december and
Please, dont forget where you were toward december.

Nervous Alibi
J. spinks
Cherry, where you been since 9 this morning?
Give me all the names who saw you there
But if they cant remember
I know that youll surrender
Another nervous alibi
Cherry, whats this game you think youre playing
Dont you know I hate those clothes you wear
For Ive seen men undress you
And with their eyes caress you
Another nervous alibi
Cherry, name the day and Ill be waiting
Give me just one chance to show I care
I know if were together
It can go on forever
Another nervous alibi

Nervous Shakedown
freeze, said the man cruisin the beat
you get your hands up and spread your feet
dont you move an inch, I heard him say
or youll be doin time until the judgement day
And he said, dont tell me no lies, give me alibis
cause if you cross my path, youll be doin life
Its a dirty lie
Chorus:
Its a shakedown
And its a nervous shakedown
A nervous shakedown
Another nervous shakedown
Its a shakedown
And its a nervous shakedown
We got a shakedown
Another nervous shakedown
(its more like a set-up)
take a dime, said the man, you can make one call
You got a one-way ticket to the county hall
Well, the judge looked high and I looked low
And when he smiled at me it was a one-man show
He said, two to five, the jury decides
Double parole if you survive
Its a dirty lie
Chorus
Law is gonna get you this time
And throw away the key
Chorus
Its a shakedown on - you

My Memory Of You
My Memory of You…
I can remember the first time we met, the way
Your smile just lit up my day
I can remember how you kept helping me up
When I was down
I remember everything about you,
Your hair, your eyes, and that smile
I can remember your piercing blue eyes…
That make me weak
I remember our first kiss, and the way
You were so nervous
I can remember how shy you
Used to be
I don’t have to remember how much I loved you
Because I still can’t live without you
I remember all the pain, hurt, and fear
You put in my heart and my head
I remember how much I wanted to embrace you in my
Arms and not let any thing hurt you
I somehow can remember all of this… but
I can’t remember why… why you tried
To take your life
I remember how scared I was that you
Would actually do it this time
I remember all those things
I remember you

Remember Me
Written by christine mcvie.
All you have to do
Is look at me that way
You dont have to say
Whats going on in your heart
And deep in the night
When I think you wont drive me crazy
Im just hoping that maybe
Youre feeling the same way to
I want you and I need you
I dont know what else to say
(dont you) dont you think its time (dont you) dont you think its time (dont you)
Dont you think its time that you remember me
So Im begging you
Not to leave me up in the air
It just wouldnt be fair
Cause you know the way
I feel about you
It may not be love
Or an everlasting feeling
But you sending me reeling
With the very mention of your name
I want you and I need you
I dont know what else to say
(dont you) dont you think its time (dont you) dont you think its time (dont you)
Dont you think its time that you remember me
Remember me...

Take Me Home
Take that look of worry
Im an ordinary man
They dont tell me nothing
So I find out what I can
Theres a fire thats been burning
Right outside my door
I cant see but I feel it
And it helps to keep me warm
So i, I dont mind
No i, I dont mind
Seems so long Ive been waiting
Still dont know what for
Theres no point escaping
I dont worry anymore
I cant come out to find you
I dont like to go outside
They cant turn off my feelings
Like theyre turning off a light
But i, I dont mind
No i, I dont mind
Oh i, I dont mind
No i, I dont mind
So take, take me home
Cos I dont remember
Take, take me home
Cos I dont remember
Take, take me home
Cos I dont remember
Take, take me home, oh lord
Cos Ive been a prisoner all my life
And I can say to you
Take that look of worry, mines an ordinary life
Working when its daylight
And sleeping when its night
Ive got no far horizons
I dont wish upon a star
They dont think that I listen
Oh but I know who they are
And i, I dont mind
No i, I dont mind
Oh i, I dont mind
No i, I dont mind
So take, take me home
Cos I dont remember
Take, take me home
Cos I dont remember
Take, take me home
Cos I dont remember
Take, take me home, oh lord
Well Ive been a prisoner all my life
And I can say to you
But I dont remember
Take, take me home...

Try To Remember
Words and music by tom jones and harvey schmidt from the musical the
Fantasticks
Try to remember the kind of september
When life was slow and oh so mellow
Try to remember the kind of september
When grass was green and grain so yellow
Try to remember the kind of september
When you were a young and a callow fellow
Try to remember and if you remember
Then follow--follow, oh-oh
Try to remember when life was so tender
That no one wept except the willow
Try to remember when life was so tender
That dreams were kept beside your pillow
Try to remember when life was so tender
That love was an ember about to billow
Try to remember and if you remember
Then follow--follow, oh-oh
Deep in december its nice to remember
Although you know the snow will follow
Deep in december its nice to remember
Without a hurt, the heart is hollow
Deep in december its nice to remember
The fire of september that made you mellow
Deep in december our hearts should remember
Then follow--follow, oh-oh
Follow, oh-oh

Nervously
(tennant/lowe)
------------
A nervous boy in several ways
I never knew the world could operate this way
I was nervous when we stopped to speak
And the world came crashing around my feet
We dont talk of love
Were much too shy
But nervously we wonder when and why
A nervous boy, in spite of which
I never thought I could tremble as much as this
Your flashing eyes and sudden smiles
Are never quite at ease, and neither am i
Oh, well talk about it all some night
But nervously we never get it
Right
From the start I approved of you
Right from the moment you turned to face me
A nervous boy from another town
With a nervous laugh and a concentrated frown
I spoke too fast with watchful eyes
Of a recent past and some nostalgic surprise
We dont talk of love
Were much too shy
But nervously we wonder when and
Smile
Knowing why I approved of you
Right from the moment you turned to face me
A nervous boy

One Of Those Nights
Guess its just the same old story
Fool I didnt have a chance
She took me like a house thats burning
Never gave a second glance
Eat em up let em go and you never
Let your feelings show
She aint here and youre asking why
Lifes a bitch and then you die
Come on lover just let go
Is there something I should know
Was it just one of those nights
Something you dont remember, yeah
Just one of those crazy nights
Something I dont remember
Sitting at the bar drinking beer
Happy hours over and loves cost me dear
The piano player sits at his stool
Hes playing feelings aint life cruel
Uptown downtown lifes a river
And I wish I could drown
I could still hear those loving sighs
A lesson learnt loves just a lie
I know I made a big mistake
With love theres no even break
Theres a price you have to pay
I got the bill when I heard you say
* (was it) just one of those nights (baby)
Something I dont remember
Just one of those crazy nights
Something you dont remember

Was it just one of those nights, baby
Something I dont remember
Just one of those crazy nights
Something I dont remember

No man is a master to me, I aint that kind

If you wanna win you just cant lose the time
Or stay behind
Well I was born to run
To get ahead of the rest
And all that I wanted was to be the best
Just to feel free and be someone
I was born to be fast I was born to run
Well I take the chances for the time I made mistakes
But you dont get nothin unless you take the breaks
Livin as dangerous as dynamite
Sure it makes you feel nervous but it makes you feel

And we were so young, and now I wonder where you are
cause that was years ago, but how was I to know wed part
Dont wanna hear you say, you dont know me, valerie
There is somethin, somethin that you gotta know
And valerie you were the first, though I never told you so
You were the main event, you didnt need to steal the show
Im telling you, you dont know me
Valerie - do you remember me, when we were wild and free
Valerie - do you remember me - do you remember
Im recalling all the crazy things weve done
Hey but when your folks found out, they said that we were way too young
That was way back when, maybe it will be again
Dont wanna hear you say, you dont know me

Cheap Reward
Oh, well, I feel so loose tonight I might fall to pieces
So be prepared to sweep me out the door
And I might be horizontal by the time the music ceases
So I think Ill get acquainted with the floor
Oh, I was trying to get away from the things that I always do
Hello, floorboards once again--how are you?
Lip service--well, thats all youll ever get from me
Well, how could you believe Ill take you seriously?
With your cheap rewards, your blackmail, and your comical rage
Just remember youll only be the boss so long as you pay my wage
All the sign posts on this road that point one way
Dont act like youre above me, just look at your shoes
Ill turn the light out now cause theres nothing more to say
And its all been lost before so theres nothing to lose
Oh, but you could say that you love me very painlessly
I wouldve done the same for you, oh, but you said to me:
Lip service--well, thats all youll ever get from me
Well, how could you believe Id take you seriously?
With your cheap rewards, your blackmail, and your comical rage
Just remember youll only be the boss so long as you pay my wage
