Recession
No more calluses on my hands
No more aching back
No more punchin’ in and out
No more keeping’ track
No more places I have to be
No more rear ends to kiss
No more feelin’ necessary
No more work to miss
No more wishin’ I could be fishin’
No more doin’ what I don’t want to do
No more slavin’
No more savin’
No more shavin’…at least
No more than I want to
No more keeping’ up with the Joneses
No more going down with the ship
No more botherin’ to zip up my zipper
No more really givin a s#*t
No more takin’ one for the gipper
No more takin’ one for the team
No more tryin’ to be way more hipper
No more tryin’…
to live the dream

Say You Miss Me
I've been sleepin' alone, out on my own
I'm sure it seems like I'm takin' my time to get back to you
You been doin' your part, working real hard
I'm not lying, sure it seems like I'm trying to get back at you
Do you miss me too?
Baby say I'll miss you, just say you'll miss me too
Do you miss me too?
Baby say I'll miss you, just say you'll miss me too
I've been losing my mind, wastin' my time
I'm not crazy, sure it seems like I'm lazy, lets get back to you
You been takin' it hard, I know it's hard
I'm not lyin' sure it seems like I'm tryin' to get back at you
Do you miss me too?
Baby say I'll miss you, just say you'll miss me too
Do you miss me too?
Baby say I'll miss you, just say you'll miss me too
Well I been mixed up since the break up
Well all I need you to say
Well everythings o.k.
Baby say I'll miss you, just say you'll miss me too
Baby say I'll miss you, just say you'll miss me too

I'm Not Feelin It Anymore
Have to get back, have to get back the base
I need to talk to somebody, I can trust
Too many cooks, are tryin' to spoil the broth
I can't feel it in my throat, that's all she wrote
I'm not feeling it no more, I'm not feeling it anymore
Not feelin' it no more, not feelin' it anymore
When I was high at the party, everything looked good
I was seein' through rose coloured glasses
Not seein' the wood for the trees
I started out in normal operation
But I just ended up in doubt
All my drinking buddies, they locked me out
I'm not feelin' it no more, I'm not feelin' it anymore
No feelin' it no more, I'm tryin' to give you the score
You see me up there baby, I'm on the screen
But I know better now, it's so unreal
If this is success, then something's awful wrong
'Cause I bought the dream and I had to play along
I'm not feelin' it no more, I'm not feelin' it anymore
I'm tryin' to give you the score, I'm not feelin' it no more
We all know that money, don't buy you love
You just get a job and somewhere to live
You have to look for happiness, within yourself
And don't go chasin' thinkin' that it is somewhere else
I'm not feelin' it no more, I'm not feelin' it anymore
Baby I'm tryin' to give you the score,
I'm not feelin' it no more
I was pretending all the time
I was givin' everybody what they wanted
And I lost my peace of mind
And all I ever wanted was simply just to be me
All you ever need is the truth
And the truth will set you free
I'm not feelin' it no more, I'm not feelin' it anymore
I'm tryin' to give you the score, just like I did before
I'm not feelin' it no more, I'm not feelin' it anymore
I'm not feelin' it no more, baby I'm just trying to give you the score
I'm not feelin' it no more, not feelin' it anymore
Not feelin' it no more
Not feelin' it no more baby

Incommunicado
By: jimmy buffett, deborah mccoll, m.l. benoit
1980
For the duke and travis mcgee
Travis mcgees still in cedar key
Thats what ol john macdonald said
My rendezvouss so long overdue
With all of the things Ive sung and Ive read
They still apply to me
They all make sense in time
Chorus:
But now Im incommunicado
Drivin by myself down the road with a hole in it
Songs with no vibrato
Takin the long way home
Now on the day that john wayne died
I found myself on the continental divide
Tell me where do I go from here
Think Ill ride into leadville and have a few beers
I think of red river or liberty valance
Cant believe the old mans gone
Chorus:
But now hes incommunicado
Leavin such a hole in a world that believed
That a life with such bravado
Was takin the right way home
So when I finished that last line
I put the book by itself on the shelf with my heart in it
Never wastin time takin the right way home
I know Im never wastin time findin the right way home
Chorus:
Still I am incommunicado
Livin next door to a leg with a pin in it
Life with such bravado
Is takin the right way home
Tryin to make it
Tryin to fake it
Tryin to take it home
Tryin to make it
Tryin to fake it
Tryin to take it home
I know im...
Tryin to make it
Sometimes I fake it
Tryin to take it home
All Im doing is...
Tryin to make it
Tryin to fake it
Tryin to take it home
But now Im incommunicado...

Takin Chances
Lestley r. pierce & frankie blue
I like walkin in the park late at night
Tryin to run my motor down
Everybody says I live a dangerous life
Ive got to get ahead somehow
Out here on the street just tryin to get my own
Dont tell me what you think you know
Ooh, most people spend their time at home alone
Just waitin for a check that wont show
Chorus:
Takin chances
No risk, no gain
Takin chances
I really dont mind the pain
Takin chances
If you only knew
Takin chances
Its all for the love of you
I dont like to listen to what people say (uh-huh)
Cause once you start youll never stop
One advantage to doing things my own way
Ill always end up on top
Chorus
Bridge:
Ive got to do it right, ooh Ive got to
Ive got to live my life the way I want to
Im high up on a wire, dont wanna ever come down
And if I fall Ive got to fly

Just How You Want It
I know just how you want it
Here goes, just how you need it
I know just how to give it
You say you love me, yes you do
I believe it, 'cause I can see it
When you hold me, a feelin' inside
You're givin' and I'm takin'
I'm there just when you want me
You know I'll never leave you
Happens every time I see you
You got my lovin' in your hands
Don't shake it, don't break it
I love you so much, don't you know
Love thinkin', start dreamin'
I know just how you want it
Here goes, just how you need it
I know just how to give it
I know I know I know (listen)
What you got is what I need
I need your love, can't you see
What you got is up my sleeve
I won't ever make you plead
Here I stand, on the ground
Your love baby, is what I've found
You say you love me, yes you do
I believe it, 'cause I can see it
When you hold me, a feelin' inside
You're givin' and I'm takin'
I know just how you want it

I'll Cry For You (acoustic Version)
I never dreamed that I could fall
But something's come over me
Now I'm sittin' starin' at the wall
Afraid for my sanity
The sound of your voice
The touch of your skin
It's hauntin' me
I'm still tryin' to come to my senses
but I can't look back
So I'm takin' my chances
I wanna give you my heart
Give you my soul
I wanna lay in your arms
Never let go
Don't wanna live my life without you
But I know when you're gone
Like a fire needs a spark
Like a fool in the dark
Honey, I'll cry for you
Wonderin' why I'm runnin' scared
From what I believe in
I know that love is just another word
To say what I'm feelin'
For once in my life the future is mine
It's callin' me
I've been searchin' so long
for an answer
But it's too late now
So I'm takin' my chances

Miss Independent
Miss independent
Miss self-sufficient
Miss keep your distance, no
Miss on her own
Miss almost grown
Miss never let a man help her off her throne
So, by keeping her heart protected
Shed never ever feel rejected
Little miss apprehensive
Said ooh, she fell in love
What is the feelin takin over?
Thinkin no one could open the door
Surprise...its time
To feel whats real
What happened to miss independent?
No more the need to be the missus
Goodbye, oh you
Will love, will love this too
Little miss independent walked away
Im so glad I finally feel...
What is the feelin takin over?
Thinkin no one could open the door
Surprise (surprise), its time
To feel (to feel) whats real
What happened to miss independent?
No more the need to be the missus
Goodbye, oh you
Will love, will love this too...

Tryin To Get The Feeling Again
Doctor my woman is comin back home late today
Could ya maybe give me something?
cause the feelin is gone
And I must get it back right away
Before she sees that Ive been
Up, down, tryin to get the feelin again
All around tryin to get the feelin again
The one that made me shiver,
Made my knees start to quiver
Everytime she walked in
And Ive looked high, low,
Everywhere I possibly can
But theres no tryin to get the feelin again
It seemed to disappear as fast as it came
Where did it run to?
I thought Id done all that I could
Just to keep the lovelight burnin
But whatever Ive done I guess
I just havent done it too good
cause all thats left is yearnin

Leave My Heartache Behind
Pat Simmons
Soquel Songs (ASCAP)
The hardest thing I've ever done
Is say goodbye to you.
But even though I love you baby,
I know you can't be true.
I walked down that country road
Out to the big highway
I caught a ride on an eighteen-wheeler
And I'm takin' it all the way.
Takin' all these blues to the highway
Tryin' to get her out of my mind.
When I'm out on the open road
With the wind in my face,
I'll leave my heartache behind.
Raindrops on my window,
Teardrops from my eyes,
I thought our love was sacred
Now I know that's just a lie.
So I pack my suitcase
And head out that old front door.
Better take a long last look now baby
'Cuz I won't be back no more.
Takin' all these blues to the highway
Tryin' to get her out of my mind.
When I'm out on the open road
With the wind in my face
I'll leave my heartache behind.

Long Time
It's been such a long time
I think I should be goin', yeah
And time doesn't wait for me, it keeps on rollin'
Sail on, on a distant highway
I've got to keep on chasin' a dream
I've gotta be on my way
Wish there was something I could say.
Well I'm takin' my time, I'm just movin' on
You'll forget about me after I've been gone
And I take what I find, I don't want no more
It's just outside of your front door.
It's been such a long time. It's been such a long time.
Well I get so lonely when I am without you
But in my mind, deep in my mind,
I can't forget about you
Good times, and faces that remind me
I'm tryin' to forget your name and leave it all behind me
You're comin' back to find me.

The Giving & The Taking

And I took all the takin
I gave all my love to you
And I took all your hurt
I treated you so good
But you treated me like dirt
They say love is give and take
Now my poor heart is breakin
I keep on a givin
And I took all the takin
I always gave you everything
That I knew how to give I would for you
I treated you too good for my own good
Now Im along and left forsaken
I keep on a givin
And took all the takin
The giving and the takin
Has caused my heart to break

Takin' It To The Streets

You don't know me but I'm your brother
I was raised here in this living hell
You don't know my kind in your world
Fairly soon the time will tell
You, telling me the things you're gonna do for me
I ain't blind and I don't like what I think I see
Takin' it to the streets
Takin' it to the streets
Takin' it to the streets
Takin' it to the streets
Take this message to my brother
You will find him everywhere
Wherever people live together
Tied in poverty's despair

Just Another Suicide
Just a bad situation
Got me low, feelin down Im wonderin why
Caught me unawares
No one knows and no one cares
They put you down no matter how you try
* put the words together
Feelin so strong
I cant last forever I cant hold on,
I cant hold on, no no
Somebody, someone is tearin my whole inside
Somebody, someone is takin me for a ride
Just a little bit of madness
Do you no harm
** another night, its another shakedown
Lookin for a place to hide
This could be your nervous breakdown
Its just another suicide
Just a cold realization, gotta go I wanna turn and run away
Got me in a spin, Im gonna lose and never win
They put you down no matter what you say
* repeat
I cant hold on, no no
[instrumental]
** repeat
[piano break]
Just a bad situation
I can feel it gettin closer everyday
Say Im out of line [Im takin out of borrowed time]
Whats the use of tryin anyway
* repeat
Somebody, someone is takin me for a ride
Somebody, someone is tearin my whole inside
Just a little bit of madness
Do you no harm
