Done Too Soon
Written by neil diamond
Jesus christ, fanny brice,
Wolfie mozart and humphrey bogart and
Genghis khan and
On to h. g. wells.
Ho chi minh, gunga din
Henry luce and john wilkes booth
And alexanders
King and graham bell.
Ramar krishna, mama whistler,
Patrice lumumba and russ colombo,
Karl and chico marx,
Albert camus.
E. a. poe, henri rousseau,
Sholom aleichem and caryl chessman,
Alan freed and
Buster keaton too
And each one there
Has one thing shared:
They have sweated beneath the same sun,
Looked up in wonder at the same moon,
And wept when it was all done
For bein? done too soon,
For bein? done too soon.
For bein? done.

I'm rightly tired of the pain I hear and feel, boss. I'm tired of bein' on the road, lonely as a robin in the rain. Not never havin' no buddy to go on with or tell me where we's comin' from or goin' to or why. I'm tired of people bein' ugly to each other. It feels like pieces of glass in my head. I'm tired of all the times I've wanted to help and couldn't. I'm tired of bein' in the dark. Mostly it's the pain. There's too much. If I could end it, I would. But I can't.

It Hurts To Want It So Bad
Its a lot like bein little
And wantin a brand new toy.
Its a lot like bein little
And wantin a baby boy
To call brother,
And it hurts
When you want it
So bad.
Its a lot like bein a young boy
Who cannot make the team.
Its a lot like bein a young girl
Who cannot help but dream
Of her best friends brother,
And it hurts
When you want it
So bad.
When its love
Youve had and lost,
If thats the worst hurt
Youve ever had,
Waiting for a new love
To come along,
And maybe, baby,
[its] just as bad.
Its a lot like bein a man
When you[ve] no one to call your own,
And its a lot like bein a woman
When you want to make a home
And be a mother,
And it hurts when you want it
So bad.
Hey, yeah.
When its love
Youve had and lost,
Thats the worst hurt
Youve ever had,
Waiting, waiting for a new love
To come along,
It may be, baby,
May be just as bad, lord.
Its a lot like bein a man
When you[ve] no one to call your own,
And
Its a lot like bein a woman
When ya want
To make a home
And be a mother,
And it hurts
When ya want it so bad.
When ya want it,
Want it so bad.
When ya, when ya, when ya, when ya, when ya, when ya,
When ya want it.
When ya, when ya, when ya, when ya, when ya, when ya, when ya, when ya, when ya, when ya, when ya, when ya,
When ya, when ya, when ya, when ya, when ya, when ya, when ya,
When ya, when ya, when ya, when ya, when ya, when ya, when ya, when ya,

Being Kind
Please don't worry now about the mornin'
When it's time we'll sip our wine and sleep
Woah, but i've been known
To love more than one person
Woah, and i've been shown
That bein' kind can hurt someone sometimes
Listen to my words now look no further
What you've seen is what i mean no more
Woah, but i've been known
To love more than one person
Woah, and i've been shown
That bein' kind can hurt someone sometimes
Don't dream of answers cause you know i've none to give
They burn like cancers they just won't let you live
I've been known
To love more than one person
And i've been shown
That bein' kind can hurt someone sometimes
Don't dream of answers cause you know i've none to give
We move like dancers steppin on each other to live
And pouncin hard
Like animals in the yard
And there's no healin, lookin, feelin
There's no denyin that bein kind can hurt
Someone sometimes
Oh, there's no denyin, woah lord there's no denyin
That bein' kind can hurt someone sometimes

Lonely Together
Music & Lyrics by Kenny Nolan
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your eyes are sad eyes
Mine are too
It doesn't take too much to see
What we've been through
You lost your baby
And me the same
Ain't it true how love's a hurtin' game
Could I have this dance
May I be so bold
It's just my arms are empty
And the night is so cold
Wouldn't it be fine bein' lonely together
Wouldn't it be fine havin' a shoulder to share
You could tell me how he broke your heart
And I'll tell you how she broke mine
And maybe later on I could take you home
Now wouldn't it be sad bein' lonely all alone
A heart that's hurtin's
Not hard to see
I guess he promised you the world
Like she did me
But dry your eyes now
You'll be just fine
We can drown our achin' hearts in this glass of wine
Well I hate to say
What's done is done
It's just two can ease the pain
Much better than one
Wouldn't it be fine bein' lonely together
Wouldn't it be fine havin' a shoulder to share
You could tell me how he broke your heart
And I'll tell you how she broke mine
And maybe later on I could take you home
Now wouldn't it be sad bein' lonely all alone
Love
It's such a crazy thing
All you got to give and no regrets
But love
It can live again
Stay with me tonight
I'll make it work out right
Wouldn't it be fine bein' lonely together
Wouldn't it be fine havin' a shoulder to share
You could tell me how he broke your heart
And I'll tell you how she broke mine
And maybe later on I could take you home
Now wouldn't it be sad bein' lonely all alone

Bein Green
Its not easy bein green
Having to spend each day the color of the leaves
When I think it could be nicer bein red or yellow or gold
Or something much more colorful like that
Its not easy bein green
It seems you blend in with so many other ordinary things
And people tend to pass you over
cause youre not standing out like flashy sparkles
On the water or stars in the sky
But green is the color of spring
And green can be cool and friendly like
And green can be big like an ocean
Or important like a mountain or tall like a tree
When green is all there is to be
It could make you wonder why
But why wonder, why wonder?
I am green and itll do fine, its beautiful
And I think its what I want to be

Chestnut Street
Written by John Mellencamp
Well I've lived and breathed and been disbelieved
in these small town streets too long
I've been up with the winners and down with the sinners
And hung on this corner 'til dawn
And my hands they have been tied
To a life I've been denied
I'm just a small town boy bein' used like a toy
And workin' from nine to five
By the end of the day, all the kids would go play
And I'd come staggering home
With a dream in my hand and a master plan
That wouln't leave my mind alone
I compromised all my schemes
And flucturated all my dreams
I'm just a small town boy bein' used like a toy
And nothing is like it really seems
(bridge)
But you must believe that when I walk down the tracks
The young girls fall back and say
There goes that sleek young silhouette
He don't drive no Corvette
But he stings just like a Sting Ray
And that's my only redemption in this house of detention
That keeps me from simply blowin' it all away
'Cause when I walk down the street in the hot summer heat
I say, God don't take this away
I keep hopin' and wishin' that these romantic positions
Gonna help me hide my pain
And all the hurt that I've felt underneath my leather studded belt
Of not finding fortune and fame
But some day I'll blow 'em away with the things that I may sing and
might say
I'm just a small town boy bein' used like a toy
And waitin' for my pay dirt day
I'm just a small town boy bein' used like a toy
And waitin' for my pay day

These Chains
These chai-ains won't keep me from bein' a free man
I'm doin' what I can to get out of here
And these chai-ains won't keep me from seein' my freedom
I'm changin' my name and startin' over agai-ain
I was a foo-ool for a good lookin' woman
Till I found out the hard way there was some other man
Now what else could I do, how could anyone blame me
He was standin' there smilin' with a gun in his ha-and
These chai-ains won't keep me from bein' a free man
I'm doin' what I can to get out of here
And these chai-ains won't keep me from seein' my freedom
I'm changin' my name and startin' over again
She had a known reputation but I paid no attention
With love and affection, can make anything right
The judge had no mercy for my infatuation
He said killin's a sin boy, you gotta pay-ay the price
These chai-ains won't keep me from bein' a free man
I'm doin' what I can to get out of here
And these chai-ains won't keep me from seein' my freedom
I'm changin' my name and startin' over again
Down the hall there's a window, you can barely fit through it
And deep in the night I see the lights of town
And it started me thinkin' 'bout a mystical ladder
That's as high as these walls and I'm climbin' it rung by-y ru-ung
These chains won't keep me from bein' a free man
I'm doin' what I can to get out of here
And these chai-ains won't keep me from seein' my freedom
I'm changin' my name and startin' over again
These chai-ains won't keep me from bein' a free man

Depression Blues
Got a woman that loves me
And I love her so
But shes all dressed up now
With nowhere to go.
All our old hang-outs
Are boarded up and closed
Or bein bought by somebody
Nobody knows.
But things aint that bad
We still got the kids
Were goin out to the movies
Right after this.
Goin back to school
Savin up my tuition
Gonna rewrite all the rules
On the old blackboard.
cause it seems things today
There aint no magic in em
They dont cut the grade
Like they used to.
Depression blues
Nowhere to go
Bein bought by somebody
Nobody knows.
Is there anybody out there
With a voice loud and clear
Gonna sing all the words
We all wanna hear.

Lady I Cant Explain
Lady I cant explain
By: jimmy buffett
1979
What could I do?
Thats never been done before
What can I say?
That hasnt been said by scores
If I was a designer I could do nothin finer
Than dress you in style
But Im a hopeless romantic still behind all these antics
Is a heart full of smiles
So Ill just keep on dreamin (Ill just keep on dreamin)
Thoughts that are in my brain
You just keep on bein
Lady I cant explain
I know that ive
The imagination of a child
And there are times
When I let it all run wild
But if I hurt, you forgive
Still you wont let me live
Some of those episodes down
Thats why I love you
And put no one above you
Love your sights and your sounds
So, Ill just keep on movin (Ill just keep on movin)
When the forecast calls for rain
You just keep on bein
Lady I cant explain
So Ill just keep on movin (Ill just keep on movin)
When the forecast calls for rain
You just keep on bein
The lady I cant explain
No no, the lady I cant explain
Coda:
Ah, yes I love you
Put no one above you
Youre the lady I cant explain

Could have been a winner,

It was so damn cold I shoulda held ya
cause you were shakin me.
Well, I almost had a question,
When she led me home,
I spent too much time for one night
Bein alone.
She said youre wastin time,
Youre takin a chance on me.
Youre wastin time,
Youre takin a chance on me.
Should have got the rambler,
Back seat movie for two.
I spent too much time for one night
Bein alone with you.
Should have seen her daddy
case he said she had to go.
I spent too much time for one night
Bein all alone.
She said youre wastin time,
Youre takin a chance on me.

Chestnut Street Revisited

Well I've lived and breathed and been disbelieved
In these small town streets too long
I've held nothin' but aces and been many places

But my hands have been tied
To a life I've been denied
I'm just a small town boy bein' used like a toy
And workin' a nine to five
Well I worked like a fool 'til after done with high school
Just to form a rock and rollin' band
But the streets were exploding and my life I was decoding
Had a dream I couldn't understand
And I work it out everyday
For no fun and very little pay
I'm just a smal town boy bein' used like a toy
And doin' what other people say
Well I've drooled and fooled and been ridiculed
For havin' dreams just above my reach
And I've lied and died and tried suicide
For all the things you people wanna preach
But I always had to turn the other way
When I heard those homefolks say
(They say) You're just a small town boy bein' used like a toy
And livin' on a day to day
But you must believe that when I walk down the tracks
All those young girls fall back and say

What it means I dunno
I been walkin down the highway
With the bad food flyin by me
I m an ordinary man
With a time bomb in my hand
It keeps tickin an I keep runnin
Tryin to find out where I come from
And there ain t nothin gonna take this road away
Nothin gonna take this road away
Nothin gonna take this road outta my heart
Nothin gonna take this pain outta my heart
I wake up sweatin in the night
Every town is only lights
I m addicted to the highway
cuz I just can t do things their way
And there ain t nothin gonna take this road away
Nothin gonna take that road away
Nothin gonna take that road outta my heart
Highway i m doin fine
You help me draw the line
No use in bein alive
If i m just rentin
I undersand the circus well
I ve played the clown when down he fell
But bein down ain t bein loser
So just look out here comes a bruiser
And there ain t nothin gonna take my road away

Everywhere I hear the sound
Of marching, charging feet boy
cause the summers here
And the time is right for
Fighting in the street boy
Hey think the time is right
For a palace revolution
Where I live the game to play
Is just to compromise my solution
What can a poor boy do
Except to sing for a rock n roll band
cause you see bein london town
Theres just no other place
For a street fighting man
Hey did I tell you that my name
Was called disturbance
And Ill shout and scream
And Ill kill the king and
Ill rail at all his servants
What can a poor boy do
Except to sing for a rock n roll band
cause you see bein london town
Theres just no place
For a street fighting man
Everywhere I hear the sound
Of marching, charging feet boy

And the time is right for
