I don't think I've ever played the Olympia before, but I'm not totally sure.

Totally. Totally. Totally Bummed
Totally. Totally. Totally bummed.
Totally. Totally. Totally bummed.
Significant this feeling is,
Hard to overcome.
When an aging is apparent,
And nothing can be done.
And when one has a wisdom,
One developes more and more...
The pressure to pretend there isn't,
Can not be ignored.
Oh, totally. Totally. Totally bummed.
Being now an elder,
Overnight has stunned.
Totally. Totally. Totally bummed.
No more looking 26.
Overnight has stunned.
Disappearing quick was 36.
Overnight has stunned.
And the 46 that came...
Picked up 56 and split.
And now I can't believe it,
I am elderly legit.
Oh, totally. Totally. Totally bummed.
Being now an elder,
Overnight has stunned.
Totally. Totally. Totally bummed.
Being now an elder,
Overnight has stunned.

Olympia
When i went to school in Olympia and everyone's the same
And so are you in Olympia and everyone's the same
We look the same, we talk the same
Baby, baby, baby, baby
Won't you please make me real oh no
Make me real oh no
Make me real oh no
Hurt me
I went to school with Calvin
Hey, hey, hey, hey
And what do you do with a revolution
I went to school in Olympia
Baby, baby, baby, baby
And everyone's the same
And so are you in Olympia
Won't you please make me real, make me sick
Make me real, make it stick
Make me real
Do it for the kids some more
Fascist sexists
I went to school in Olympia
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

And we gonna get along, gonna get along, gonna get along fine
Watchin out for my heart
But when I am near you

Takin it slow
Whenever I cross your trail, my brakes just fail

Olympia
This is it, now the time has come for us
and we head into the future
Set sail we're all go
What to come we don't know but here we are
So let's start it up
Make way now we bring you the show
On our way now
It's a turning-point here
It's time now
We're going into high gear
We know how
We're gonna make it all clear
And fight without no fear
Now it's time for us to make it all come true
We will go for gold and bring it home for you
Olympia
Give it all and show what we can do
We will go for gold and glory all for you
Olympia
Now we made it so far we won't back down
And the world is watching
This time we'll go all the way
So stand up, if you still have power left
Cause we'll take it to the top
That's where we're gonna stay
On our way now
It's a turning-point here
It's time now
We're going into high gear
We know how
We're gonna make it all clear
And fight without no fear
Now it's time for us to make it all come true
We will go for gold and bring it home for you
Olympia
Give it all and show what we can do
We will go for gold and glory all for you
Olympia
On our way now
We go for gold now
Cause time is here
This is the year
We're gonna change
The world
Because we have no fear

Now the time has come for us
And we head into the future
Set sail we're all go
So stand up if you still have power left
Cause we'll take you to the top
All for you

Now it's time for us to make it all come true
We will go for gold and bring it home for you
Olympia
Give it all and show what we can do
We will go for gold and glory all for you

Brave Officials Like Us
We sit in the cold of the North Pole with
air-con on freezing, stoically wrapped in
our blankets and wearing wool socks with
thick-soled shoes - not fashion material -
yet we are all here in the open-plan office
except Madame Olympia whose special
enclosure, sound-proof - separate from
the rest on this floor - is empty
We suspect she suffers claustrophobia as
we ourselves would if we sat there, though
she has her own special air-con - can turn
it on warm while we shiver out here; in spite
of our ice-trap, we are here and she does not
even call with an excuse, the psychiatrist will
probably say sensitive people like Madame
Olympia are too good to mix with pioneers
Like us who can work in all conditions - Sir
Hillary would have been proud to have us
accompany him on his trip up Mount Everest,
we would have put all the Sherpa's to shame,
if we were in the trenches in WWII we would
have won the war single-handedly - so it is
easy to see why Mme Olympia cannot be
among such brave officials like us!

We played all of the songs on the first Johnny Winter AND every day before we recorded them, so that when we got in the studio, it was totally easy, as we knew exactly what we wanted to do.

The Vanishing Spies
The vanishing spies
Just something I read
A couple of eyes
From out of the head
And all that was said
Was thats just how some things dont materialize
Could be they broke
And swam like a bird
Fear of spooking the folk
With talk of the third
Or maybe the third
Played a joke
Give me a blip
And Ill totally flip
Say its nothing but sky
And Ill be a lonely guy
The vanishing spies
Just something I read
Now there were two eyes
Sent out from the head
And all that was said
Was that is just how some things do not materialize
Give me one little blip
And Ill totally flip
Say its nothing but sky
And I will be one lonely guy

My father actually moved out from Chicago just so he could play tennis 365 days a year, so it was - it was a place we played every day. We played before school. We played after school. We woke up. We played tennis. We brushed our teeth in that order.

When little old ladies recognize a guy who was Mr. Olympia, that's saying something. That means I've been able to cross lines as far as marketability is concerned.
The Weekend Blues Session
Three days and three nights
playing the guitar blues of life
my mind and body taken back
I can see
the old streets and the seats
where the blues players of old
used to meet
They'd sing of the pain
and the hate
and we'd respect what they
had to say
All these memories coming back
as we played for the times
when blues was our life
We played for the joy
we played for our minds
we played for our souls
we played until the monday morning blues
