I've always tried to be fair to my subjects. That's easy when they are as likable and admirable as Lewis and Clark, or Eisenhower.

Character is something you forge for yourself; temperament is something you are born with and can only slightly modify. Some people have easy temperaments and weak characters; others have difficult temperaments and strong characters. We are all prone to confuse the two in assessing people we associate with. Those with easy temperaments and weak characters are more likable than admirable; those with difficult temperaments and strong characters are more admirable than likable. Of course, the optimum for a person is to possess both an easy temperament and a strong character, but this is a rare combination, and few of us are that lucky.

Easy Come,Easy Go
I see the way you look at me
It's not the Hennessey
Cuz you're feeling me
But instead you're acting scared
Don't be afraid of me
Let's not be cowardly
Keep in mind boy
It's easy come and easy go
Keep in mind boy
It's easy come and easy go
Is it my girls 'round me
Or is my job heavy
Come baby talk to me
Maybe from caught out there
Don't tell me it's my hair
Come on now let's play fair
Keep in mind boy
It's easy come and easy go
Keep in mind boy
It's easy come and easy go
Keep in mind boy
It's easy come and easy go
Instead I get Mr. crazy
Yeah he's comin' see
With the guts to say to me
He thinks that him n' me
Should go and have babies
(Yeah right)
I wish you'd come and save me
Keep in mind boy
Keep in mind boy
Keep in mind boy
It's easy come and easy go
Keep in mind boy
It's easy come and easy go
Keep in mind boy
It's easy come and easy go

In my lifetime, we've gone from Eisenhower to George W. Bush. We've gone from John F. Kennedy to Al Gore. If this is evolution, I believe that in twelve years, we'll be voting for plants.

Lewis
Bummed out again
Buy early business friend
The smell of fear is bigger than you think
Hey don't do it
Do it
Change seem to fit
In the end you just feel sick
And then you choke on an anesthetic
Hey don't do it
Lewis
Lewis
Save yourself the pain
You'll never get there
Lewis
Save yourself the pain
It never really matters here
We never noticed
We never understood
He just get crushed to fit
He never even smile
At the best, it's the best,
It's the best day i know
Lewis
Save yourself the pain
You'll never get there
Lewis
Save yourself the pain
It never really matters here
Lewis
Mistreated
I call you blue
Lewis
Mistreated
I call you blue
I don't wanna talk about it
I don't wanna talk about it
I don't wanna talk about lewis! lewis! lewis!
I don't wanna talk about it
Lewis! lewis! lewis!

It's Not Easy
It's not easy when the sight of me makes you queasy.
Please believe me I'm not sleazy.
All in all I'm quite pleasing.
I know I annoy.
In someways still I'm just a boy.
It's not easy knowing you're a joke.
Deep inside I'm hurt and broke.
You're far too good. I'm far too bad.
The thought of this makes me sad.
It's not easy being a freak.
No one listens when I speak.
I'm far too strange and oblique.
It's not easy being ugly.
I wish I were at least plainly.
It isn't easy not being good enough,
for someone who's so fair and tough.
I wish with me you weren't so gruff.
It's not easy knowing that I'll never be,
someone you love and truly need.
It's not easy, you must agree,
to be a guy that's just like me.

Eisenhower Blues
Hey everybody I'm a talking to you
I ain't telling you jealous
It's just the natural truth
Oh oh oh I got the Eisenhower Blues
Thinking about me and you and what on earth are we gonna do?
My money's gone, the fun is gone
The way things look I can't be here long
Oh oh oh I got the Eisenhower Blues
Thinking about me and you and what on earth are we gonna do?
Taking all my money to pay the tax
I'm telling you people the natural facts
I'm telling you people, in my belief
I am headed straight on relief
Oh I got the Eisenhower Blues
Thinking about me and you and what on earth are we gonna do?
I ain't got a dime, ain't got a cent
Ain't got no money to pay my rent
She wants some clothes, she wants some shoes
I'm telling you people I don't know what to do
Oh I got the Eisenhower Blues
Talking about me and you and what on earth are we gonna do?
Taking all my money to pay the tax
I'm telling you people the natural facts
I'm telling you people, in my belief
I am headed straight on relief
Oh I got the Eisenhower Blues
Thinking about me and you and what on earth are we gonna do?
Oh I got the Eisenhower Blues
Talking about me and you and what the hell are we gonna do?

I'm Not In Love Yet
Chris hayes/huey lewis
Kinda blue music/huey lewis music. all rights administered by hulex music, ascap.
It hasn't been long - but it hasn't been bad
And you may be the very best thing -- i've ever had
But you want to know -- 'cause you're making plans
Well i'll make you a promise i'll keep
I'll do the best that i can
I'm not in love yet, but i'm workin' on it
It might take some time
It ain't easy to do if it's gonna be true
I'm not in love yet, oh but i'm workin' on it
There you go again - tryin' to pin me down
Isn't it enough for me to say - i love having you around
Why do we always have to talk about the way that we feel
Baby, all the conversation in the world
Won't make it more real
I'm not in love yet, but i'm workin' on it
It might take some time
It ain't easy to do if it's gonna be true
I'm not in love yet, oh but i'm workin' on it
I hear you say - you need some kind of proof
Well it may not be what you want to her
But i'm telling you the truth
Why do we always have to wonder what the future will bring
Baby all i know is how i feel now
But time can change everything
I'm not in love yet, but i'm workin' on it
It might take some time
It ain't easy to do if it's gonna be true
I'm not in love yet, oh but i'm workin' on it
It might take some time
It ain't easy to do if it's gonna be true
I'm not in love yet, oh but i'm workin' on it

I'd say there was a fair amount of skepticism at the time about whether the Internet held any promise. And of course I felt that it did.
Easy From Now On
(susanna clark/carlene routh)
There he goes gone again
Same old storys gotta come to an end
Lovin him was a one way street
But Im gettin off where the crossroads meet
Its a quarter moon in a ten cent town
Time for me to lay my heartaches down
Saturday night gonna make myself a name
Take a month of sundays to try and explain
Its gonna be easy to fill
The heart of a thirsty woman
Harder to kill the ghost of a no good man
And Ill be ridin high in a fandangled sky
Its gonna be easy; its gonna be easy from now on
Raw as whip but clean as a bone
Soft to touch when you take me home
When the mornin comes and its time for me to leave
Dont worry bout me, I got a wild card up my sleeve
Its gonna be easy to fill
The heart of a thirsty woman
Harder to kill the ghost of a no good man
And Ill be ridin high in a fandangled sky
Its gonna be easy, its gonna be easy
Its gonna be easy from now on

Mrs Clark's Daughter.
Your mother stood talking
With Mrs Clark after school
And you were kicking your
Heels waiting to get home
To your toys and games and
You gazed at Mrs Clark’s young
Daughter who poked her head
Out from around her mother’s
Wide ass and stared at you
Through thin wired spectacles
Which made her eyes large as
Fish in glass bowls and her hair
Was ribboned up in two plaits
Either side of her head giving
Her a stern expression and Mrs
Clark said Helen here has a crush
On your son or so she told me
After school yesterday and Mrs
Clark gave you a big smile like
A hippo coming out of water
And your mother said he never
Talks of girls and such all too
Busy with his toys and games
And shooting from his imaginary
Horse around the house and
Mrs Clark said well boys will
Be boys and girls be girls each
Playing games with their own
Toys and Helen poked out her
Tongue and a boss-eyed stare
God was you glad when your
Mother took you out of there.
