Slow Down
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
Before it gets too late
Before it gets too late
Take it!
(bop shoo wop, youd better slow down)
On down
(bop shoo wop, youd better slow down)
On down
(bop shoo wop, youd better slow down)
Dont try to tell me
(bop shoo wop, youd better slow down)
Youll never sell me
(bop shoo wop, youd better slow down)
Before it gets too late
I said before it gets too late
You know before it gets too late
Oh, hey

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.

Dont Cry Baby
Written by dan peek, 1977
Found on harbor.
Starlight falling through your hair
Sometimes I wonder if you know Im there
Awake in the morning a smile on your face
The same old feeling that I just cant place
And you say dont cry, baby
You know Ill always be the one who cares
Dont cry, baby
Come closer let me wipe away your tears
A man came in with a violin
He played for me like Ive never been
Courted before and forevermore
As the bow touched the strings
He made the whole world sing
Dont cry, baby (baby, dont you cry)
You know therell always be someone who cares
Dont cry, baby (baby, dont you cry)
Come closer let me wipe away your tears
I know Ive been wrong
Youve had to be strong
I guess I belong to you, my baby (baby, dont you cry)
You know Ill always be the one who cares
Dont cry baby (baby, dont you cry)
Come closer let me wipe away your tears
The sound of your voice singing songs in the night
Have taken me far away and mystified
The songs of the lovers brought tears to my eyes
The words that youd spoken made me realize

Knockin On Every Door
Hey now honey
You got to face the floor
You headed for the heart
But you couldnt find the door, could you?
Could you?
Well, Im standing in the sun
But Im living in the rain
I got to get a-whirlin like a human hurricane over you
Over you
Now youre looking like a fox on the run
And youre faster than a shot from a gun
Im pointing at you, oh you
Talking bout you, hey you
I thought we had love in store
You keep on knockin on every door
Babe, Ive seen it all before
You keep on knockin on every door
Aint no lovin you ignore
You keep on knockin on every door
Keep keep knock knockin on every door
You keep on knockin on every door
Hey now honey
Time is all youve spent
You moved into the bed
But you couldnt pay the rent, could you?
Could you?
In the twinkle of an eye
You electrify
I got to get a-shootin like a rocket in the sky, bye bye
Goodbye
Now youre burning like youre hot on the scene
Dont you love to steal a part of my dream?
Im looking at you, oh you
Talking bout you, yea you
I thought we had love in store
You keep on knockin on every door
Babe, Ive seen it all before
You keep on knockin on every door
Aint no lovin you ignore
You keep on knockin on every door
Keep keep knock knockin on every door
You keep on knockin on every door
I thought we used to have love in store
You keep knock knockin on every door
Hey babe, dont run around here no more
You keep on knockin on every door
Aint no sugar you ignore
You keep on knockin on every door
Keep keep knock knockin on every door
You keep on knockin on every door
Youd better learn your lesson now...

And I know what you do
So put your hands on your face
And cover up your eyes
Dont look until I signal

The way that we werent is what well become
So please pay attention while I show you some

Laugh if you want to or say you dont care
If you cannot see it you think its not there

Sarah
Written by gerry beckley, 1977
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

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

Hip, hip, horrific is our thing

Notes
*these lines are disputable. the liner notes to then: the earlier years claim that the lines in the first bridge are as written here, and that in the second verse the line is harbor a wish
Quot; many fans claim to hear harbor a deathwish or harbor a penguin, but deathwish seems the most likely. others hear number a/cause were gray
E first bridge rather than what is printed here.

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

Mama Told Me Not To Come
Want some whiskey in your water?
Sugar in your tea?
Whats all these crazy questions theyre askin me?
This is the craziest party that could ever be
Dont turn on the lights cause I dont wanna see
Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
She said that aint the way to have fun, son
That aint the way to have fun, son
Open up the window, let some air into this room
I think mommas chocking from the smell of stale perfume
And the cigarette youre smoking about to scare me half to death
Open up the window, let me catch my breath
Some radio is blastin
Someones knockin at the door
Im lookin at my girlfriend
She just passed out on the floor
Ive seen so many things
I aint never seen before
Dont know what it is
I dont wanna see no more
Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come (mama told me)
She said that aint the way to have fun, no (no, no)
That aint the way to have fun, son
Mama told me, mama told me
Mana told me, mama told me
Mama told me not to come (mama told me not to come)
That aint the way to have fun, son
That aint the way to have fun, son
That aint the way to have fun, no, son
That aint the way to have fun, son (mama told me)
Mama told me, mama told me
Mama told me, mama told me
Mama told me not to come (mama told me not to come)
That aint the way to have fun, son

Dont Stop
Remember when somebody
Tried to tell you how to walk
And now they got the balls
To tell us how we should talk
Oh no, glove love aint cool
I must agree
So get outta my face
You aint got nothing on me
Some say they do
Some say they dont
I take it in stride
And I can never get enough
If I dont got to swallow my pride
I heard it all before and then
She told me gimme some slack
Then she smiled at me and gave me
The shirt right off her back
And thats when I took advantage of the situation
(chorus)
Dont stop
Rockin your socks off
Dont stop
Knockin their blocks off
Dont stop
Gettin your rocks off
Dont stop
Takin a hit, boy
Dont stop
Shakin your fist, boy
Dont stop
I aint got much to lose
Im feelin so confused
Theres such a small thin line
Between pleasure and pain
And when you say dont
Then its dont stop
I got to complain
Yeah, I think I may be getting
Real tired of all the steam
Because its hard to get the way
You move out of my dreams
Got to get it while you can
Whenever youre in doubt
You got to whip it out
When you keep hearin no
And your body says yes
But you cant hear a word
Thats been said
But you gotta confess
Looking up her address
Got you thinkin with your other head

Holy Roller (1992 Demo Session)
I was born an only boy
Away from palm of water
Never heard of right or wrong
I was given words to use
But I knew I was different
They wanted me to play along
How much fear can I keep
Locked away inside me
Will all these words
Disguise my pain
When all your scriptures fall
And leave us in the open
I will survive and try again
Here comes the holy roller
Here comes the book of life
Dont come knockin round here
cause you aint no friend of mine
Here comes the ghost of holy
He comes to twist your mind
Dont come knockin round here
cause you aint no friend
Aint no friend of mine
What is the price that youve put
On your own salvation
Count the costs for savin souls
Where is the sense in all this
Door-to-door damantion
When youre just left out in the cold

Down To The Water
Written by dewey bunnell, 1977
Found on harbor.
The waves come in
Crash on the shoreline
Salty water, dont you know
Its yours, yours and mine
So grab your girl
And dont go wastin time
And lets go down to the water tonight
White capped clouds
Dance in the sunlight
Purple fishes watch
And show you some of their delight
The weathers fine
And everythings all right
So lets go down to the water tonight
Lets go down to the water tonight
Come on down, come on down
Come on down, down to the water
Come on down, come on down
Come on down, down to the water
Down to the water
Island music
Sways with a palm tree
Friends of mine lay back
And talk of times that werent so free
So lets have fun
And that means you and me
And lets go down to the water tonight
Lets go down to the water tonight.
Down, down, down to the water
Down, down, down to the water
Down, down, down to the water
Down, down, down to the water
Down, down, down to the water
Down, down, down to the water ...

Dont Think Twice, Its All Right
Written and recorded by bob dylan
It aint no use to sit and wonder why, babe
It dont matter, anyhow
And it aint no use to sit and wonder why, babe
If you dont know by now
When your rooster crows at the break of dawn
Look out your window and Ill be gone
Youre the reason Im traveling on
Dont think twice, its all right
It aint no use in turnin on your light, babe
That light I never knowed
And it aint no use in turnin on your light, babe
Im on the dark side of the road
Still I wish there was something you would do or say
To try and make me change my mind and stay
We never did too much talkin anyway
Dont think twice, its all right
It aint no use in callin out my name, gal
Like you never did before
It aint no use in callin out my name, gal
I cant hear you any more
Im a thinkin and a-wondrin all the way down the road
I once loved a woman, a child Im told
I gave her my heart but she wanted my soul
Dont think twice, its all right
Im walkin down that long, lonesome road, babe
Where Im bound, I cant tell
But goodbyes too good a word, gal
So Ill just say, fare thee well
I aint sayin you treated me unkind
You could have done better but I dont mind
You just kinda wasted my precious time
Dont think twice its all right

Never Found The Time
Written by dan peek, 1971
Found on america.
I never found the time
To see things quite through
I never found the time
To give them to you
If living dont come easy
Dont stop your own voice
cause the worst part of living
Is havin no choice
Tell me a story
Tell it with your eyes
Im gonna stop believin
If I hear another lie
Drink some cold water
Your mouths getting dry
If I only had the time
To see things right through
Id give up all my treasures
And send them to you
Then livin would seem easy
No lights and no noise
Just me and my lady
And the echo of her voice
Tell me a story
Tell it with your eyes
Im gonna stop believin
If I hear another lie
Drink some cold water
Your mouths getting dry
I never found the time
To see into my lady
And memories dont die
But with time become hazy
I never found the time
To see into my lady
And memories dont die
But with time become hazy
I never found the time
To see into my lady
And memories dont die
But with time become hazy
I never found the time ...

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
