Dreamer
He is down by the riverside
Late one night
Hes tryin to count the stars
In each of the signs
All alone by the riverside
And time passes by
Gathering thoughts of the past
And maybe hell cry
So they say hes a madman
And he dont understand
But I know that hes tryin hard
To act like a man
All those years he has suffered,
My friends
All those years of pain
But I dont think he knows for sur
E if those years were in vain
Hes a dreamer
And hes fightin for his life
Hes tryin to understand
Hes a dreamer
But he wants to carry on
Yet I know hes a lonely man

I'm Trying
This gettin up early pullin double shifts
Gonna make an old of me long before I ever get rich
But I'm tryin
It's been two years since we finalized
I still aint used to puttin Ex in front of wife
But I'm tryin
Send more money right away
Is pretty much all she has to say when she calls these days
And don't you be late
But all I can do, is all I can do
But I keep on tryin
And all I can be, is all I can be
And I keep on tryin
There's always a mountain in front of me
Seems I'm always climbing, and falling, and climbing,
But I keep on tryin
I remember daddy sayin keep your eye on the ball
Run like hell, play to win, get up when you fall
I'm tryin
Don't say nothin that you can't take back
Never do anything you might regret
No, don't do that
Daddy, I'm tryin
Know the difference between heaven and hell
Go easy on the bottle, be hard on yourself
And I know he meant well.
But all I can do, is all I can do
But I keep on tryin
And all I can be, is all I can be
And I keep on tryin
There's always a mountain in front of me
Seems I'm always climbing, and falling, and climbing,
But I keep on tryin.
Keep on tryin...
All I can do
Is all I can do
And I keep on tryin
And all I can be
That's all I can be
And I keep on tryin.
But all I can do, is all I can do
But I keep on tryin
There's always a mountain in front of me
Seems I'm always climbing, and stumbling, and falling, and climbing,
But I keep on tryin.
This gettin up early pulling double shifts
Is gonna make an old man of me long before I ever get rich,
But I'm tryin.

Cant Wait
I cant wait
Wait for you to change my mind
Its late
Im tryin to walk the line
Well its way past midnight
And theres some people all around
Some on their way up
Some on their way down
The air burns and Im tryin to think straight
And I dont know how much longer I can wait
Im your man
Ive tried to recover the sweet love that we knew
You understand
That my heart cant go on beating without you
Well your loveliness has wounded me
Im reeling from the blow
I wish I knew what it was that keeps me loving you so
Im breathin hard standin at the gate
And I dont know how much longer I can wait
Skies are gray
Im looking for anything that will bring a happy glow
Night or day
It doesnt matter where I go anymore I just go
If I ever saw you comin I dont know what I might do
Id like to think I could control myself
But it isnt true
Thats how it is
When things disintegrate
And I dont know how much longer I can wait
Im doomed to love you
I been rollin through stormy weather
Im thinkin of you
And all the places we could roam together
Its mighty funny
The end of time has just begun
Oh honey, after all these years youre still the one
Well Im strollin through the lonely graveyard of my mind
I left my life with you
Somewhere back there along the line
I thought somehow that I would be spared this day
I dont know how much longer I can wait

Tryin To Get Over You
You could have given me a million reasons why
But it wouldnt change a thing
You said it all when you said goodbye
And you took off your wedding ring
Ive been tryin to get over you
Ive been spending time alone
Ive been tryin to get over you
But itll take dyin to get it done
All my friends keep tryin to fix me up
They say I need somebody new
When it comes to love, Ive all but given up
cause life dont mean nothin without you
Ive been tryin to get over you
Ive been spending time alone
Ive been tryin to get over you
But itll take dyin to get it done

Down Boys
You were tryin to be cute
And it didnt work out
You were tryin to be charming
And it didnt come off
You were tryin to be clever
A big waste of time
You were tryin to get rough
But youre waiting in line
You cant make it with the down boys
They dont hear a word you say
You cant make it with the down boys
Uh just stay out of their way
You were trying to be sharp
But they couldnt wait
You were trying to be eternal
But uh that didnt rate
You were tryin to be smooth
Youre rough on the edges
You were tryin to be, hysterical
And I still aint laughin
You cant make it with the down boys
Uh they dont hear a word you say
You cant make it with the down boys
Just stay out of their way
You were tryin to be in
But they left you out [yelp? ]
You were tryin to be in
Two different worlds
You were tryin to be in
Oscillation in shame
You were tryin to be in
But youre lost in the game
You cant make it with the down boys
They dont hear a word you say
You cant make it with the down boys
Uh just stay out of their way
Stay out of their way
Out of their way
You cant make it with the down boys
Uh they dont hear a word you say
You cant make it with the down boys
Just stay out of their way

Trying To Get Away

Im a long way from home but I just dont care.
The dust from the road makes it dry in my mouth,
When its cold up north, thats when I head south.

The smog was bad but not as bad as l.a.
Sometimes I wonder what the worlds comin to.
Sometimes I wonder what Im gonna do.

Riverside
Seen her get up, seen her go down
Down to the riverside
Seen her jump into the river and drown
Down to the riverside
People do just what they will
Dont matter to the river, its running still
Sun come up, sun go down
Down to the riverside
Sun jump into the river and drown
Down to the riverside
Every day just like the last
We sit and watch the water pass
Came a day the built a bridge
Down to the riverside
Over the way, on top of the ridge
Down to the riverside
Built a bridge for people to cross
But every other day, someone jumping off
You might think some boys they got it made
Down to the riverside
They got the money and the women and a place in the shade
Down to the riverside
That aint no way to ease the pain
Cant listen to the river when it calls your name

Isolation
People say we got it made,
Dont they know were so afraid?
Isolation.
Were afraid to be alone,
Evrybody got to have a home.
Isolation.
Just a boy and a little girl,
Tryin to change the whole wide world.
Isolation.
The world is just a little town,
Evrybody tryin to put us down.
I-hi-hi,
I-hi-hi-hi-solation!
I dont expect you to understand,
After youve caused so much pain.
But then again, youre not to blame,
Youre just a human, a victim of the insane.
Were afraid of evryone,
Afraid of the sun.
Isolation.
The sun will never disappear,
But the world may not have many years.

You Wear It Well
(rod stewart / martin quittenton)
I had nothing to do on this hot afternoon
But to settle down and write you a line
Ive been meaning to phone you but from minnesota
Hell its been a very long time
You wear it well
A little old fashioned but thats all right
Well I suppose youre thinking I bet hes sinking
Or he wouldnt get in touch with me
Oh I aint begging or losing my head
I sure do want you to know that you wear it well
There aint a lady in the land so fine
Remember them basement parties, your brothers karate
The all day rock and roll shows
Them homesick blues and radical views
Havent left a mark on you, you wear it well
A little out of time but I dont mind
But I aint forgetting that you were once mine
But I blew it without even tryin
Now Im eatin my heart out
Tryin to get a letter through
Since youve been gone its hard to carry on
Im gonna write about the birthday gown that I bought in town
When you sat down and cried on the stairs
You knew it did not cost the earth, but for what its worth
You made me feel a millionaire and you wear it well
Madame onassis got nothing on you
Anyway, my coffees cold and Im getting told
That I gotta get back to work
So when the sun goes low and youre home all alone
Think of me and try not to laugh and I wear it well
I dont object if you call collect
cos I aint forgetting that you were once mine
But I blew it without even tryin
Now Im eatin my heart out tryin to get back to you
After all the years I hope its the same address
Since youve been gone its hard to carry on

All I Really Need Is You
Written by: neil diamond, tom hensley and alan lindgren
After all these years
After all these tears between us
Still I couldnt find
Someone half as right as you
And each time I stop to think
What it is I really need
Heres what I conclude
All I really need is you
Just say what you want to say
You dont have a chance in the world
Can i, knowing how Ive tried
Still come close to losing you, girl
When you are my world
Have I spent so many years
Trying but in vain to tell you
Dont you know its true
All I really need is you
How was I to know
Wed have ended here
Where we finally did
You tied your life to mine
Once upon a starry night
And when someone asks for me
What it is that I believe
Say, I believe its true
All I really need is you
Just say what you want to say
We dont have a chance in the world
Can i, knowing how Ive tried
Still come close to losing you, girl
When you are my world
Have I spent so many years
Tryin but in vain to tell you
Feelings come and go
Me, Im never gonna ever let you go
Promise you Im gonna always love you so
Cause all I really need is you

Step up step up (step up)
Step up step up (step up)
Step up step up
Step up
Fall back, take a look at me
And youll see
Im for real
I feel what only I can feel
And if that dont appeal to you
Let me know
And Ill go
Cuz I flow
Better when my colors show
And thats the way it has to be
Honestly
Cuz creativity
Could never bloom
In my room
Id throw it all away before I lie
So dont call me with a compromise
Hang up the phone Ive got a backbone stronger than yours

Dont know
You think you know me like yourself
But I fear
That youre only telling me what I wanna hear
But do you give a damn?
Understand
That I cant
Not be what I am
Im not the milk and cheerios in your spoon
Its not that simple here we go not so soon
I might have fallen for that when I was fourteen
In a little morph green
But its amazing what a couple of years can mean

Until you realize, (realize)
Things are tryin to settle down
Just try to figure out
Exactly what Im about
If its with or without you
I dont need ya doubting me
If youre tryin to turn me into someone else

Dont Let em Take Your Gun
Ohhh, people why dont you come in here and let me talk to you a while.
Thats right, step right up and listen to a concerned citizen speak his piece.
Ill tell you a little something that my daddy told to me.
My basic fundamentals if you want to be free.
cause son, theres somthing wrong internally.
So, if you want your freedom son.
Dont want your country to be overrun.
You got to keep america number one.
(chorus)
My daddy told me son, dont let em take your gun.
Thats what they tryin to do.
Son, dont let em take your gun.
Theyre takin your bill of rights away from you.
My daddy said son, dont let em take your gun.
Thats what they tryin to do.
Son, dont let em take your gun.
Dont let em take your gun away from you.
Ohhh, this year is our anniversary.
Two hundred years, people weve been free.
Wont be nobody takin over our land.
If everybodys brothers got a gun in his hand.
Im tellin you we learned to fight for justice.
Were willing to die for freedom.
Hand in hand.
You got to understand.
We are american men.
Said they want your gun.
Said they want your gun.
Send em on the run.
Send em on the run.
Hip-hurray for fun.
Hip-hurray for fun.
If they do were done.
If they do were done.

The Green Manalishi
Written by peter green.
Now, when the day goes to sleep and the full moon looks
The night is so black that the darkness cooks
Dont you come creepin around - makin me do things I dont want to
Cant believe that you need my love so bad
Come sneakin around tryin to drive me mad
Bustin in on my dreams - making me see things I dont wanna see
Break:
cause youre da green manalishi with the two prong crown
All my tryin is up - all your bringin is down
Just taking my love then slippin away
Leavin me here just tryin to keep from following you

i was all alone on a saturday night
and the funny thing is, we didn't even have a fight
i stayed up all night cryin'
and i slept all day, and missed the game
inside i think i'm dyin'
i just can't figure out how she slipped away
i was out all night monday in dallas
and the strangest thing is, i can't remember a thing
i was drunk and drinkin'
and i woke up in my best friend's car
my friends say i've gone crazy
i still need to find out how she slipped away
i've no idea what i did
she just told me,
"have someone check your head"
let me ask you, do you think that i was wrong?
trying too hard? maybe i came on too strong
tryin' to find
tryin' to find
tryin' to find a reason not to leave your side
tryin' to find
tryin' to find an answer, before i lose my mind
i was at a club real late last tuesday
and the weirdest thing is, i can't remember her name
i stayed up all night
tryin' to make her face look just like yours
and she ended up cryin'
i still need to find out why you slipped away
i've no idea what i did
she just told me,
"have someone check your head"
let me ask you, do you think that i was wrong, yeah
trying too hard? maybe i came on too strong
tryin' to find
tryin' to find
tryin' to find a reason not to leave your side

Hometown Blues
Baby cant wait
Baby gotta go
Gonna do a number
On the late night show
Do a little song
Do a little dance
Gonna make the best
Of her big chance
Dont really matter
If she dont or if she do
Tryin to make the best of
The hometown blues
I got a friend
Got a little girl
Said shes the best
In the whole wide world
Said it so good
Said its unreal
Might not last
But its no big deal
Dont really matter
If she dont or if she do
Tryin to make the best of
The hometown blues
Baby, save me, save me, save me
With your sweet smile
Honey, I really need your love
To help me kill a little bit o time
All of the girls
Run with the crowd
They go wild
When the lights go down
They got a little money
Live in a dream
Wanna be the queen
Of their little scene
Dont really matter
If she dont or if she do
Tryin to make the best of
The hometown blues

Tryin' To Get The Feelin'
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 I've been
Up, down, tryin' to get the feeling again
All around.... tryin' to get the feeling again
The one that made me shiver, made my knees start to quiver
Every time she walked in
And I've looked high, low, everywhere I possibly can
But there's no tryin' to get the feeling again
It seemed to disappear as fast as it came
Where did it run to?
I thought I'd done all that I could
Just to keep the lovelight burnin'
But whatever I've done I guess I just haven't done it too good
'cause all that's left is yearnin'
Cause I been up, down, tryin' to get the feeling again
All around....tryin' to get the feeling again
The one that made me shiver, made my knees start to quiver
Every time she walked in
And I've looked high, and low and everywhere I possibly can
But there's no tryin' to get the feeling again
It seemed to disappear as fast as it came
And I've been lookin', I've been lookin', I've been lookin'
I've been up, and down and tryin' to get the feelin'
I've been up ..I've been down...I've been tryin' to get
I've been tryin'..I've been tryin'..I've been tryin'
To get the feeling
I've been tryin' to get the feeling again
I want to get that feeling
I'm going to get that feeling
I got to get that feeling
I got to get that feeling
And again...and again...and again...and again

I been tryin' to get the feeling again

No Tighter Wish
Tangi & left eye
(appears on the kazaam soundtrack)
It was november on that cloudy day as I remember
Ten months into his life for a clock began that night
A strife shes on the panickin tip
Get to the hospital quick
Jumped out the car fore it hit
She grabbed the baby and slipped to the ground
Saved the day thought everything was ok
To find him covered in blood
This is the story of love
Chorus:
Let me tell you what I know
Know I love you miss you so
Aint no tighter wish in this world
Than to have you again
Dreaming you are here with me
Look the same from seein you last
Aint no tighter wish in this world
Than to have you again
Theres an empty space in my heart
When things break down its all because
Lonely days without you I have to figure out
Now wha Im gonna do
Dont mean to cry all the time
I know youre safe and sound
I dont think I could ever be satisfied again
Chorus
Whatever happened that day
That we lost baby jose
You gained a strength that no man
In this world could take away
And so I kicks this one for you
No tighter wish is true
Its not a day goes by that I dont think
Of little precious baby boo
And cuz this moment is yours
I shed my tears through the years till no more
Behind these closed doors
And you can count on me
From now till forever
We be them birds of a feather
Flyin together through the stormy weather
It dont begin til it ends
Sing it again
And again, and again, and again, and again
Chorus
When people say to me (ay-o tangi)
I have a surprise for you
The first thing that comes in my mind (uh huh)
Is someones bout to bring me you
Yo check it
I know sometimes you ask why
But dont cry just keep your head up high
Cuz in them heavenly skies (you know Im tryin)
Awaits the sun yes the one
One to come with your eyes
Tangis eyes (Im tryin)
And no he holds no remorse (Im tryin)
Just ask the source hell amend like I said
It dont begin til it ends
So sing it again
And again, and again, and again
And again, and again, and again
Chorus

Aint no tighter wish in this world
Than to have you (baby)

Cryin For Nothin
(kevin welch)
I am a full grown fool and I shoulda known better
But I tried and I tried and I could not forget her
I would go back to her time after time
Man I must have been out of my mind
All of that cryin for nothing
All of that tryin for nothing
What has it ever got me
What has it ever taught me
Ive got to keep believing
In somethin baby
stead of just tryin for nothing
Cryin for nothin at all
Well we fought for love and we fought for trust
And the whole blessed time it was right there in front of us
We could not reach it and I dont know why
It took so long just to say goodbye
All of that cryin for nothing
All of that tryin for nothing
What has it ever got me
What has it ever taught me
Ive got to keep believing
In somethin baby
stead of just tryin for nothing
Cryin for nothin at all
Well her friends all told her, mine told me
But we would not listen, could not see
Me and my pride, her and her dreams
We never ever stood a chance it seems
All of that cryin for nothing
All of that tryin for nothing
What has it ever got me
What has it ever taught me
Ive got to keep believing
In somethin baby
stead of just tryin for nothing
Cryin for nothin at all

Cryin for nothin at all
