Hercules
My life is a valuable thing
I want to keep it that way, I wont cry
My lifes such a valuable thing
Some things dont fade away, I dont mind
We give the best we can give
We wont forget, we cant forgive
Keep us radioactive free
Strike a bell in hiroshima park
You know that we cant see in the dark
We try and we try and we try...
Who waits for the planes to come
When everybodys got you on the run
South pacific carry on
It seems to me that what were saying
Nobody really wants to talk about it
This is no time to be wondering why
I do the best I can do
The human jungle and the global zoo
Ill find my way its a very special way
Why wait for the planes to come
When everybodys got us on the run
South pacific carry on
Here come the hercules
Here come the submarines
Sinking south pacific dreams

Now Or Never Land
I grew tall in this lucky land
And I thank God for that, but theres needles in the sand
Ozone in the eucalypt and on the steppes tonight
Theres pushing and a shoving on the throne tonight
Its a rhythm of the sea
Lost islands of hope
Its a rhythm of the sea
Who will discover you
But I wont be down at heel cos my senses lead me here
Dream a south-pacific dream of now or never land
Its now or never land
Rises in rivers in power of the sun
Rises in sea level, look out mammons bastard son
Infidels are praying at the stock exchange
Chrome camels are crashing on the smooth terrain
Its the rhythm of the sea
Lost islands of hope
Its the rhythm of the sea
Someone to carry you
But I wont be down at heel cos my senses lead me here
Dream a south-pacific dream of now or never land
Suitcase full of good ideas, history thats filled with tears
Kill nostalgia, xenophobic fears
Its now or never land
Chant to end

Everybodys Alone
If youre looking for me
Youll find me resting in the shade
Of the mountains and trees
Beneath the cool summer breeze
And I dont mind if you stay
Everybodys alone
Everybodys alone
People talking to me
Someone saying that Im not the same
Thats not so easy to be
But when Ill learn to be free
I wonder if Ill miss the pain
Everybodys alone
Everybodys alone
All I want you to know
Is that I love you so much
I can hardly stand it
When everybodys alone
Everybodys alone
Everybodys alone
Everybodys alone

Giving Up
If there should be the faintest traces
Of you in my summer sky
My heart would pound and race
And people ask me why
Did I pull those funny faces
When I walk by the waterside
I look for things to say
And still I find you
I wont give up
Dont talk of giving up
And every night I swear Ive finished
And when I rise to face the day
Resolve just fades away
And so it follows
Trying to find strength of purpose
I place temptation out of reach
Then search in every niche
Until I find you
I wont give up
Dont talk of giving up
I wont give it up--love this world
No thoughts of giving up oh no no no no no
Perhaps its only saints who suffer
For those needs to which were slaved
This roaad iwalk is paved with good intentions
The final choice hangs on a wire
And theres no room for feet to stray
The piper waits for pay
And still I find you
I wont give up
Dont talk of giving up
I wont give up--love this world
No thoughts of giving up oh no no no no no
I wont give it up--love this world
Dont talk of giving up
I wont give it up--love this world
No thoughts on giving up

Nobody Really Knows
We stood outside the city,
Six feet in the snow,
And everyone was stranded
And I stopped to say, hello.
Everybody kept on walkin
Who didnt have no place to go.
Everybody kept on walkin
That had no place to go,
And everybodys talkin
But nobody really knows,
Nobody really knows.
And say, I think youll stay awhile,
You know just where its at.
Pull up a chair and
Stay awhile,
Well give ya tit for tat.
I said, you know something,
Im not sure I really like that.
I said, you know something,
I believe Ill grab my coat and hat.
I got outside,
Down in the street below, and everybody started walkin
That didnt have no place to go,
And everybodys talkin
But nobody, nobody really know, no,
Nobody really know.
And say you think youre really good for us.
We know you are and its true,
Aint nobody can do more for you
Than we can do.
We can give ya money,
Watch you spend it all the time,
And make sure
You dont
Ride on down the line.
I said, I believe I wont
cause I aint got no place to go.
Im just stranded and Im walkin,
And I dont have no place to go,
And everybodys talkin
But nobody, nobody really know,
Nobody really know.
And they say, sing the song one more time
cause I really believe I know what it means,
I was with you last night
When you wrote it in your dreams.
I said, is that right?
How
Can you be so complete?
Y, you cant stop talkin
Every time you move your feet.
You know that were all stranded,
We aint got no place to go.
We are stranded here
In the city in the snow,
And everybodys talkin
But nobody really knows,
Nobody really know.
Everybodys talkin,
Everybodys talkin,
Everybodys talkin,
And everybodys talkin but
Nobody really know.
Everybodys talkin but
Nobody, nobody really know,
They just pretend they know.

To spend some time with that woman of mine, heading south, heading south
Things look bright and I feel alright yeah Im heading south
Heading south to see the sun go down on camp fire light,to join the singing at night
Heading south to cotton rows and honeysuckle bloom
Under the cumberland moon heading south, heading south
Give me room to travel on my way to a place where dreams all fade away
Where the river flows and tobacco grows heading south heading south

South Of Heaven
(gary rossington, johnny van-zant, robert johnson, michael lunn)
Theres a honky-tonk just south of georgia
A little salvation just a waitin for ya
I heard it said a long time ago
If your lookin for your soul
Down a dirt road just across the border
Well the harder it comes you know the easier it goes
If you can make your way a little further down that road, yea
When your caught up in between
Or just dyin to be set free
(chorus)
South of heaven
Always endin up
No matter how I try
Im just south of heaven
Dont wanna think you can have it all
cause all I need is just south of heaven
Theres a little girl they call the sweet thing
Been some time Id like to tell you one thing
You have nothin left to lose
So by the time that you come to
Youll be one more callin her name
Well the harder it comes you know the easier it goes
If you can make your way a little further down that road, yea
When your caught up in between
Or just dyin to be set free

God
Written by ugly kid joe
God, please push me in the right direction
God, Im hoping that youll understand
God, Im trying to make amends now
God, Im asking for your guiding hand
Everybodys got the wrong opinion
Everybody says whats on their mind
Everybodys got the wrong tradition
Everybody pray to the man
God, Im reading in your holy books now
God, Im singing and Im not afraid
God, Im looking for the only way out now
God, Im hoping that I can be saved
Everybodys got the wrong religion
You wont say whats on your mind
Some wont hear why others listen
Everybody pray to the man
Why dont you ever answer questions
Now my faith is slipping away
Im looking in a different direction
Believing is the only way
Everybodys got their own tradition
(everybodys got the wrong religion)
Everybodys got their own salvation
(everybodys got the wrong submission)
Everybodys got their own religion
(everybodys got the wrong tradition)
Everybody pray to the man

Please Dont Let It Go
Were drifting apart,
But I wont give up, no
Wherever you are I belong
Love sings us a song
But we fail to sing along
Wherever you go I will follow
So please dont let it
Please dont let it go
And if you wont let it I wont let it go
Please dont let it
Please dont let it go
And if you wont let it I wont let it go
You try to be strong
Youve tried it oh so long
Whatever I do I do it wrong
And love sings our song
So eager to sing along
Whatever you do I know it
So please dont let it
Please dont let it go
Cause if you wont let it I wont let it go
Please dont let it
Please dont let it go
Cause if you wont let it I wont let it go
Dont let go of life
Let go of love
Let go of all we have
So dont let go of trust
Let go of lust
Let go of all we share
So please dont let it
Please dont let it go
And if you wont let it I wont let it go
Please dont let it
Please dont let it go
And if you wont let it I wont let it go
So please dont let it
Please dont let it go

Please dont let it
Please dont let it go

Missed You
(stewart)
Hey pal, let me lean on you and talk awhile
Your planes been delayed by the rain
Or something
I wouldnt even fly away
If I had one good reason to stay
But you said
If you dont need my love
Im gonna find someone who does
And Im not hanging around
This old heart is far to proud
She got tired of me
Staying out late everynight
Id fall up the stair
Thought shed always be there
But suddenly Im alone
And Im not accustomed to sleeping alone
She said if you dont need my love
Im gonna find someone who does
Youve stripped me of everything
And youve torn down all my dreams
Its been two long weeks
Since shes been gone
Thought I had her in the palm of my hands
She said Im through, dont try to call me
Cause you wont even find me
Cause if you dont need my love
Im going to find someone who does
And the heartache youve give me
Youll get it back just wait and see
Well, well, well, well
Id give anything to hold her in my bed again
I just wanna feel her breath on my back
She said my blood cant give her love
No way
She said if you dont need my love
Im gonna find someone who does
And Im gonna take our child
Cause I dont want him running wild
Hey pal, I think they just called out your flight
Put down your glass dont forget your boarding pass
And if your looking or you found love
Or sunshine thats enough
Dont play hard to get
Cause that aint where its at
Give her all your love
Place her high above
I missed you baby
I missed you baby
Yea I missed

Fair Warning
You know, wishing wont make it so
Hoping wont do it, praying wont do it
Religion wont do it, philosophy wont do it
The supreme court wont do it,
The president and the congress wont do it
The un wont do it, the h-bomb wont do it,
The sun and the moon wont do it
And God wont do it,
And I certainly wont do it
That leaves you, youll have to do it
I know that youve been wondering
If Im the same man inside
Never tried to fool you
cause Ive got nothing to hide
I gave you fair warning I could never be tied down
til Ive seen paradise with my very own eyes
Love owns us all, time owns us all, life owns us all
But the world doesnt own me
Dontcha follow me now
I aint afraid to say I may have been wrong
I have to go now
Id rather live by a dream than live by a lie
And thats why
There aint no cure for what Ive got baby
We just have to suffer
I feel no pain, I cant complain,
Things could always be rougher
But I picked up this banner
And I just cant put it down (no)
I cant let the world die just cause no one would try
Dontcha follow me now
Everybodys got to find his own place in the sun,
Everyone
So shine on me now
Id rather live by a dream then live by a lie
You can say what you will about me
Talk is cheap and I dont mind
When you lay your life down in them grooves
You know youre bound to get scratched up sometime
Its only just a song, pay me no mind
I have to go now
Youve got to walk that road alone
If you walk it at all
Dont follow me now
I gave you all fair warning
Now its goodbye
And every once in a while why dont you think of me
cause its a long, long time and a long way to go
Cant you see the light shining in my eyes
cause its just one victory
cause your dream goes on forever
Dont you know that Ive been trying
To get my trip together
Be a real man
I got to be a real man
1, 2, 3, do it one more time
Be a real man
Everybody be a real man
Go then, dont believe, and I dont know
cause I got to be a real man
You can be a man, a real man
Ill swim that river, climb that mountain
You and me, we all gotta be, real men

Carry Me Through
Time has come,
To start my search for tomorrow.
On and on,
Theres just no end to the sorrow.
But I designed a way,
To see my life through pity.
I dont have too much to say,
And the tears wont let me be.
So,
Chorus
Carry me through the hard part.
Help me find a new start.
Carry me through the hard part.
Far too long,
Ive thought of all the excuses.
Try to go on,
And stay my time to an end.
Dreams in my head,
All turning dark and useless.
Help me find the hand,
That knows where Ive been.
Please,

Leave Well Enough Alone

Little girl have your fun
Take it easy
Just dont jump the gun
You dont have to try so hard
You will always be my number one
You got me in your bed of roses
Please dont change the boy
cause havin you around heaven knows
Is somethin I enjoy
Leave well enough alone baby
Dont get too serious no
Leave well enough alone child
Dont go and change on us
Life wont be the same for us
Better leave it alone
I know youve got ideas
Monograms and sets of hers and his
I hate to have to break the spell
But let me tell you how it really is
You know I feel at home with you just the way we are
But go ahead and dream those dreams
But just dont carry them too far
Leave well enough alone baby
Dont get too serious no
Leave well neough alone child
Dont go and change on us
Life wont be the same for us
Better leave it alone
You know it feels so good with you just the way we are
But if you wanna dream those dreams baby
Dont carry them too far
