Monster
Written by gerry beckley, 1977
Found on harbor.
The monster exposed himself from underground
Burning his face as he ran through the town
Hoping the patrons just dont hear a sound
Heart, court and harmony just aint the same
My black and their green playing some games
Ive got all these pictures I just need the frames
These are the things that youll never do
Feeding the wife on the phone
And there you are, all on your own
Red and blue, I want to like a hole in the head
It slopes in the middle and is stopping them dead
Id like to help them; Ive already said
These are the things that youll never do
Running away from your home
And there you are, all on your own
Mm, mm. mm, mm.

God Of The Sun
Written by gerry beckley, 1977
Found on harbor and highway.
God of the sun
Dont make me wait till the morning comes
Light in the sky
Look me in the eye, eye, eye, eye
Dont, keep me waiting around
Too much longer now
Dont, dont keep me waiting around, around, around, around
When I called you from my river of darkness
An echo was all that came back
Saw you wave goodbye
Down the railroad track
Sometimes when youre out and all alone
And you cant find your way back
Wonder if youll ever make it home
God of the sun
Ill be around till the days begun
One sight of your ray
Takes the night away, away, away, away
Oh, but when I walk through that door
Take my hat and my coat off waiting for you to call
I tell you not right now, lady, I got work on my mind
And Ill talk to you soon
Always remember
When I called you from my river of darkness
An echo was all that came back
I saw you wave goodbye
Down the railroad track
Sometimes when youre out and all alone
And you cant find your way back
Wonder if well ever make it home
No more

Just The Way I Am
If you hear me crying in the night
Pretend that you dont hear me its alright
Dont ask me why Im crying, please dont make a sound
I dont know why, its just the way I am
And if you think I act a little strange
And you dont understand when I do things
Like running through the fields while the rain is pouring down
I dont know why, its just the way I am
And even though you may not understand me
I hope that youll accept me like I am
For there are many sides of me, my mind and spirit must be free
And I might smile when other folks would frown
I dont know why, its just the way I am
I might go out chasing butterflies
And if I fail to catch one I might cry
And if you want me you might find me in the meadow walking round
I dont know why, its just the way I am
I might be home and busy cleaning house
And in the middle of my work I might go out
And go play games with children at the playground
It makes me happy, and thats just the way I am
And even though you may not understand me
I hope that youll accept me like I am
For there are childish sides of me
My mind and spirit must be free
I might smile when you think I should frown
I dont know why, its just the way I am

Submarine Ladies
Written by gerry beckley, 1973
Found on hat trick, heard, and highway.
Why do you laugh at me when you know I really care
You sometimes act as though Im not even there
And yet if you did to me the things I do to you
I would surely say were through
Dont you know that I love you
I was hoping youd love me, too
Dont you know that I love you, love you
If I seem to you indiffrent once or twice
Its because I was feelin quite that way
And the time I hung up the phone and didnt speak again
Well, its funny to look back then
Didnt I love you (love you)
Didnt I love you all the time
Didnt you need me (need me)
Wasnt it a long, hard climb
Dont you know that I love you
I was hoping youd love me, too
Dont you know that I love you, love you

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.

Sarah

Found on harbor and highway.
Sarah, please
Where is the love you said youd save for me
Am I a fool to think that somethings strange
I think youve changed
Golly, dad
She was the best thing that I ever had
Torn and battered now and due for repair
But shes not there
What does it matter and who really cares
With no one to turn to when shes not there
Ah, but its all right, Ill get by
Miles apart
Left here standing with a broken heart
Call me names but Ill refuse to cry
Dont ask my why
What does it matter and who really cares
With no one to turn to when shes not there
Ah, but its all right, Ill get by

The Meanest Girl In Town
(words & music by j. byers)
Shell tell you that she loves you, make you feel just like a kid
Shell cry to you and lie to you, shell do most anything
Shell get right up next to you and the first thing that you know
Youll be telling her youre sorry because she hurt you so
I said shes evil the most evil girl Ive found
There aint no doubt about it, shes the meanest girl in town
Shell invite you over to her house at half past nine
Youll wear a suit, youll wear a tie and youll give your shoes a shine
Youll take a real deep breath and knock on her front door
Her little sister will tell you she dont live here anymore
I said shes evil the most evil girl Ive found
There aint no doubt about it, shes the meanest girl in town
And there aint no doubt about it, shes the meanest girl in town
Shell put her arms around you and squeeze with all her might
Shell breathe a sigh and pucker her lips and pull your arms real tight
Your heart will pound like thunder, youll melt in her embrace
But when you go to kiss her well shell laugh right in your face
Because shes evil the most evil girl Ive found
There aint no doubt about it, shes the meanest girl in town

Until It Happens To You
Jeff cook/teddy gentry/ronnie rogers/greg fowler, 3:43
I worry all day and I cant go to sleep at night
Thinking about baby and wondering whos holding her tight tonight
People say Ive been a fool too long, too long
All my friends still ask me why I keep hanging on and on
Chorus:
And I say
Youll never know until it happens to you
Youll never know all that Im going through
Love aint something that flies away
Somebody goes but the feeling stays
And youll never know until it happens to you
Saturdays rollin and everybodys rockin but me
I should go to town but I dont want no company, no, no, no
Friends say I should be out having fun with someone
I know its true but if they only knew its easier said than done
Oh yeah
Repeat chorus
Bridge
Friends say Ive been a fool too long, much too long
They just dont understand why I sit at home all alone by the phone
And I say
Youll never know until it happens to you
Youll never know all that Im going through
Youll never know, oh no
Youll never know, whoa
Youll never know until it happens to you

Written by dan peek, 1977
Found on harbor.
I hear you knockin but you cant come in
You wear your stockings like you think its a sin
Dont try to tell me you aint been where you been
cause I know that youve been messin round with him
So slow down
(bop shoo wop, youd better slow down)
Come on down
(bop shoo wop, youd better slow down)
Oh down
(bop shoo wop, youd better slow down)
Before it gets too late
Before it gets too late
I met you dancin at the high school gym
You rubbed against me my head started to spin
You turned around gave me a wink and a grin
And then you told me that youd like to be friends
Dont slow down
(bop shoo wop, youd better slow down)
Dont slow down
(bop shoo wop, youd better slow down)
Dont slow down
(bop shoo wop, youd better slow down)
Dont slow down

You know before it gets too late

Sergeant Darkness
Written by gerry beckley, 1977
Found on harbor, america live, and highway.
Thank the morning for bringing you
Hope you never turn your head and run
And thank the sun for shining, too
Hope the darkness never comes again
What it does to me
Isnt good to see
You say that fortune brought you
Sailin cross the sea
I dont believe you
I dont see how its true
I think my dreamin brought you here
And if I wake tomorrow will you still be near
Once a miser, twice a son
Threes a devil, fours a lot of fun
Fun for living one and all
Start a battle, whos the first to fall
Hope it isnt me
Have to wait and see
You say that fortune brought you
Sailin cross the sea
I dont believe you
I dont see how its true
I think my dreamin brought you here
If I wake tomorrow will you still be near
Should I live with rain and then the sky will clear

Baby, I Dont Cry Over You
Morton krouse
Had my lunch all alone
Waited for you to phone
Said you call me at two
So at abpout twenty of three
I had cocktails with lee
Baby, I dont cry over you
Stood me up in the rain
Tried to hurt me again
Bet you thought Id be blue
I went out to a show
With a swell guy named joe
Baby, I dont cry over you
These foolish games you keep playing
Might work with somebody else
But I could have told you
Right from the start
No man is man enough
To break my heart
If you dont come tonight
Think youll give me a fright
Tell you what I will do
Ill put on my best gown
And go painting this town
Baby, I dont cry over you
Listen jack youre sweet jill
Will be out with some bill
Maybe I dont cry over you

Dont Run Away
(tell me) does your head keep turning,
From the feelings churning,
Deep inside of you?
(tell me) when your mind is racing,
All the things youre chasing,
Worth your while, well?
(tell me) dont you ever question
Why youre always guessin
Reasons for your life?
(listen) theres no need to waver,
Long ago the savior,
Died...for you, so,
Dont run away,
Youre headed no where, (dont run away....)
Keep up the face,
Youre gonna go there, (keep up the face.)
Youll feel alone,
Who do you know there?
Please turn back now.
Dont run away,
He wants your heart now, (dont run away....)
Hear what I say,
And play it smart now, (what I say....)
Wise up today,
And give him all of your love....
(tell me) does the fear of losing
Keep your heart from choosing
Who has hold of you?
(tell me) have you felt the yearning,
Deep inside, a burning
Need for love, now?
(tell me) tell me, can you sense a fighting?
Hate is now igniting,
Fear of loving you.
(listen) listen, God is still here waiting;
Hell remove the hating
Part...of you, so,
Dont run away,
Youre headed no where, (dont run away....)
Keep up the face,
Youre gonna go there, (keep up the face.)
Youll feel alone,
Who do you know there?
Please turn back now.
Dont run away,
He wants your heart now, (dont run away....)
Hear what I say,
And play it smart now, (what I say....)
Wise up today,
And give him all of your love....
Dont run away,
Youre headed no where, (dont run away....)
Keep up the face,
Youre gonna go there, (keep up the face.)
Youll feel alone,
Who do you know there?
Please turn back now.
Dont run away,
He wants your heart now, (dont run away....)
Hear what I say,
And play it smart now, (what I say....)
Wise up today,
And give him all of your love....
Dont run away,
Youre headed no where, (dont run away....)
Keep up the face,
Youre gonna go there, (keep up the face.)
Youll feel alone,
Who do you know there?
Please turn back now.
Dont run away,
He wants your heart now, (dont run away....)

And play it smart now, (what I say....)

Not A Dry Eye In The House
Not a dry eye in the house
After loves curtain comes down
Listen and youll hear the sound
Hear the sound of a heart breaking
I can still see you standing there
Midnight wind blowing through your hair
Kisses sweet in the salty air
When love was forever
Turn the page and we fade to blue
The scene has changed now Im without you
Walked away when the act was through
And the dream was over
It was almost like a movie - the way you said goodbye
You must have a lot of time rehearsing each and every line
Now theres not a dry eye in the house
After loves curtain comes down
Listen and youll hear the sound
Hear the sound of a heart breaking
Not a smile left on my face
The endings just too sad to take
And theres not a dry eye
Not a dry eye in the house
The greatest story was you and me
Had it all we had everything, but now the
Storys done its just history
The last act is over
You every line had the sweetest sound
Your every touch turned my world around
But the light came up and my world crashed down
End of show - its over
It was almost like a movie
Those nights we touched the stars
Time stood still for you and i
Now its sad enough to make you cry
Now theres not a dry eye in the house
After loves curtain comes down
Listen and youll hear the sound
Hear the sound of a heart breaking
Not a smile left on my face
The endings just too sad to take
And theres not a dry eye
Not a dry eye in the house
Act one - the storys just begun
Act two - I fell in love with you
Act three - knew it was meant to be
Act four - you dont love me no more
And theres not a dry eye in the house
After loves curtain comes down
Listen and youll hear the sound
Hear the sound of a heart breaking
Not a smile left on my face
The endings just too sad to take
And theres not a dry eye
Not a dry eye
Not a dry eye in the house
After loves curtain comes down
Listen and youll hear the sound
Hear the sound of a heart breaking
Not a dry eye in the house (3x)

Midnight
Written by dewey bunnell and gerry beckley, 1975
Found on hearts.
Midnight rolling in, sunlight
Reaching out for your return
As you were running through the tunnel of life
And soon youll dance around the fire of fright
Tonight
When youre standing on the corner
And the sun is getting hot
Does this day begin to worry you a lot
You are, what you are, too far
Golden star, a ruby light
As you were running through the tunnel of life
And soon youll dance around the fire of fright
Tonight
When youre standing on the corner
And the sun is getting hot
Does the day begin to worry you a lot

Please believe in me
Though my love is hard to see
Now shes gone (shes gone, shes gone, shes gone)
Ill remain (shes gone, shes gone, shes gone)
But these tears (shes gone, shes gone, shes gone)
I cant contain (shes gone, shes gone)
So can I count on you to be my light to guide me
Right through the night beside me
Is it all right to count on you
Smile away these blues
I dont care if Im accused
Now shes gone (shes gone, shes gone, shes gone)
I dont mind (shes gone, shes gone, shes gone)
But, I got a feelin (shes gone, shes gone, shes gone)
Its all designed (shes gone, shes gone)
To make me call on you to be my light to guide me
Right through the night beside me
Is it all right to call on you

We Dug A Hole
His head is a big black hole
full of big black things
and it sucks so hard
you could never against the mud
Sugar plum, no ones ever seen anything come
ouch, what a travesty, what a sad fate
someone get a band-aid please
we gotta get this guy a machine for his cranium
I mean I don't need
maybe I don't hear what i need
this never really goes anywhere
We dug a hole
And put our heads in it
We dug a hole
We dug a hole
And put our heads in
This winter they come too quick and broad
with not enough hot spiced cider or cinnamon toast
you never think you know this but when you got a dead start
sucking up both times in your brain
things start to change
and for the record let me say
its not his fault that things never change
the summer is always too short
and still they broke up for a guy with a black hole in his head
and you'll never meet him anyway
We dug a hole
And put our heads in it
We dug a hole
We dug a hole
And put our heads in it
We dug a hole
(We dug a hole)

El Capitan
By the harbour I harbor
The strangest memories
Older than I could ever be
Stranded in nostalgia
So tonight i'll try harder
But it's hard to fix this spotlight on me
In a cast that's taking places
I'm not sure of where I want to be
Stand up, stand up and stand out
Applaud El Captain
And jump up to cheers from the crowd
Stand up, stand up and stand out
And I hope you take your camera
To photograph my tears as they hit the ground
No one even listens
The same way that no one ever laughs
I'm taking the car out of the snow
I'm wondering where the summer went to
Circled by your secrets
I'm hoping that they don't include me
At least I'm in good company
Because there's no one else around except me
Stand up, stand up and stand out
Applaud el captain
Just to watch the world slow itself
Stand up, stand up and stand out
And I hope you took your camera
The silence makes the loudest sound
It seems far too easy to say the same things
I'll choose my own way to use my life up
And finally I found a new way to say the same things in imaginary ways
I use my life up
You were looking at pictures in the distance
Hoping to see the future
In your pictures of the distance
Hoping to see the future
Looking at pictures in the distance
Hoping to see the future
Through your pictures of the distance
Hoping to see the future
Looking at pictures in the distance
Hoping to see the future
In your pictures of the distance
Hoping to see the future
Looking at pictures in the distance
Hoping to see the future
In your pictures of the distance
Hoping to see the future

On Target
Written by gerry beckley and bill mumy, 1991
Found on encore: more greatest hits.
I hear a car, I hope its yours
I hear the phone, I hope its you
It seems I spend most half my life waiting
For the things Ill never do
When you were here, in love with me
There was so much (so much, so much) I couldnt see
And I watched you home believing
That you would never leave
Now I cant stand to be without you
Im burning for one more kiss
I dream every night about you
Sometimes Im on target, sometimes I seem to miss you
Night after night I lie awake
Wondring how long its gonna take
Till I hold you close beside me
And share the love we make
cause I cant stand to be without you
I cant take much more of this
I dream every night about you
Sometimes Im on target, sometimes I seem to miss you
Ah, oh baby turn your heart around
Ah, (oo) baby turn your heart around
Di, di, di, di, di, di
Ah, (come back, da, da, da) baby turn your heart around (oh)
(whom I gonna run to) di, di, di, di, di, di
Ah, (come back, da, da, da) let me turn your heart around (oh)

You know I meant no harm

Gave me a chill, nearly made me cry
Im sure its very clear

Youre gonna ruin this poor girl from out of town
I like the way you move so much that

I know we should really know much better

I know we dont really know each other
So pardon the things I said
Wont you tell me youll forgive me
I dont mean to intrude
Its just that I dont want to break this mood
(dont want to break this mood here tonight)
And if I hold your hand its just cause
Theres something in the things you say
That wraps me up and really puts me away
But everybody knows

So pardon the things I said

Wont you tell me youll forgive me
Guess I lost it

Lowdown

I dont want to throw away my time
Playing games I dont respect or like
I cant give away my sovereignty
To existence with no song of me
And the hole in my heart
Im lowdown
Theres a hole in my heart
Im low
Theres a hole in my heart
Im lowdown
Theres a hole in my heart
Im low
I built myself a beautiful brick wall
Gets a little higher every day
_? _ ignorance inhabits me
Cause Ive already chased my love away
And the hole in my heart
Im lowdown
Theres a hole in my heart
Im low
Theres a hole in my heart
Im lowdown
Theres a hole in my heart
Im low
Take that happy banner off the wall
I dont need to see no smiling face
All I really wants a cup of tea
To feel a warmth inside of me
And the hole in my heart
Im lowdown
Theres a hole in my heart
Im low
Theres a hole in my heart
Im lowdown
Theres a hole in my heart
