Same Man I Was Before
Im not the same man I was before
I havent changed my perception
I havent lost my protection
I havent lost, havent lost, havent lost
What I have, lost intentions
Two by two coming through the door
(singing like a bird)
Boys and girls voices joined in song
(voices in the air)
Fire crackers making so much noise
(flying in the air)
They all start yelling at me
. . . . . everything you do is wrong
Im not the same boy I was before
But Ive not changed my desires
Ive not extinguished the fires
I havent lost wide eyed wonder
I havent lost, havent lost, havent lost
The stupid fear of thunder
Two by two walking hand in hand
(walkin in the air)
The bone come marching from the promised land
(comes from everywhere)
Their voices carry like the sound of glass
(breaking on the ground)
It burns my ears when they sing
. . . . . everything you do is wrong
Im not the same ghost I was before
But I still converse with the spirits
When people talk I dont hear it
I walk through doors when no one sees me
I disappear, I disappear, disappear
Whenever it may please me

You Just Havent Earned It Yet, Baby

Havent Got Time For The Pain
(carly simon/jacob brackman)
All those crazy nights when I cried myself to sleep
Now melodrama never makes me weep anymore
cause I havent got time for the pain
I havent got room for the pain
I havent the need for the pain
Not since Ive known you
You showed me how, how to leave myself behind
How to turn down the noise in my mind
Now I havent got time for the pain
I havent got room for the pain
I havent the need for the pain
Not since Ive known you
Suffering was the only thing that made me feel I was alive
Though thats just how much it cost to survive in this world
til you showed me how, how to fill my heart with love
How to open up and drink in all that white love
Pouring down from the heaven
I havent got time for the pain
I havent got room for the pain
I havent the need for the pain
Not since Ive known you

Havent You Heard
Havent you heard
Daddys gone crazy
Havent you heard momma is gone
Here I stand with my finger on his door bell
My mind goes back to what I did last night
You see I finally talked his wife into leaving him
And I am just here to convince my conscious that its all alright
And I can see my old friend just sitting there staring and his little boys
Crying words are welded in my mind
Havent you heard daddys gone crazy
Havent you heard momma is gone
And either way I am a loser
And Ive been crying all night long mr. havent you heard
Havent you heard daddys gone crazy
Havent you heard momma is gone
And either way I am a loser
And Ive been crying all night long mr. havent you heard

Only A Day
As I look out outside
I can see the rain about to start
The air is damp but warm
And I remember how you used to feel
And I see your face
My cold reflection scares me at this hour
How I wish I could sleep
If only I could slow my mind a bit
(chorus)
Then when I see you I forget the pain
And melt away with you
Only a day is passed and
I cant help but feel that Ive lost you
Your room confines my thought
And then my worries drift when Im with you
But I dont want to live
I never know just when well meet again
Chorus
What is it that feeds this
Havent I had enough of this today
I really dont need this
Havent I had enough of this today
Then I sit at home
My walls reflect how my life is so bleak
And I feel so alone
I break down and call you cuz Im weak
If I can see what you are
If I could blow away my clouded sight
Realize you made me a fool
If I mean nothing what else can I say

Ive lost you
Ive lost you

Davids Song
Wontcha let me rock and roll you baby
I havent seen you in a long, long time
I havent fooled around with any candles lately
Just thought you might have some music in mind
Chorus:
Ah I just want to serenade you
Maybe we could even live a verse or two
And I could finish this ole love song
So I could start singing it to you
I could start singing it to you
If I could finish this ole love song
And I could start singing it to you
Wont you come and boogie-woogie with me baby
Its been a while since I held you close to me
I havent met many boys like you baby
Knew I would find you eventually

Put Your Hands On Me
I dont know about the travel of time
And Ive never seen most of the world
I dont know
Diving out of the sky
Or living like the diamonds
Of pearls
See I havent danced to a musical tune
And I havent noticed the flowers in bloom
I havent smiled
When alone in my room very much
Then we touched
I just know
When you put your hands on me
I feel sexy
And my body turns to gold
I just know
When you put your hands on me
I feel ready
And I lose my self-control
I dont know if a doll can unwind
Or how to make a person go
I dont know how to be what you like
And simply open up the depth of my soul
So I keep my wings
And my eyes on the down
Ready for nothing
But holding my ground
I havent used
A particular noun very much
Then we touched
I wont notice
Or pay you no mind
Boy I couldnt care less
What you do with your time
Your fingertips on my hips
Just move me like one of a kind

Lift You Up
(john critchley)
Your mind is all cluttered now
But you drag yourself along somehow
Through dark dreams of that visit you in the night
Obscure fragments with broad daylight
Watch me now
What did you say about what Ive done
What do you want to know, why or how come?
Havent you learned yet that it never ends
Back and forth and around, here it comes again
Chorus
Watch me now
And Ill lift you up if I can
Watch me now
Youre eyes are wild and your nerves exposed
But you havent lost anything, not by a mile, not yet
Can yo uremember the good times
They can be back soon, better than before

You Havent Done Nothin
We are amazed but not amused
By all the things you say that youll do
Though much concerned but not involved
With decisions that are made by you
But we are sick and tired of hearing your song
Telling how you are gonna change right from wrong
cause if you really want to hear our views
You havent done nothing!
Its not too cool to be ridiculed
But you brought this upon yourself
The world is tired of pacifiers
We want the truth and nothing else
And we are sick and tired of hearing your song
Telling how you are gonna change right from wrong
cause if you really want to hear our views
You havent done nothing!

Why do you keep on making us hear your song
Telling us how you are changing right from wrong
cause if you really want to hear our views
You havent done nothing!

Once In A While
I think of this - most every night
How hard it is to get it alright
Im lookin here and Im lookin there
I see heart broken pieces everywhere
Wouldnt you try wouldnt you know
Try so hard still you let it all go
Too much trouble too much pain
I think Im gonna have that luck again
Whatll I do if you walk away
Whatll I do if you walk away
Well I havent a chance
No I havent a chance
Once in a while I get this feelin
Now and again Im all in a daze
Time after time I ask myself this
Will you walk away?
Once in a while I get this feelin
Seems all day and night time too
I dont belong Im just passin through
I guess youre right I think too much
Still in all - I miss your touch
A crazy notion a careless thought
I start to worry and time gets short
Well think of this my dear young one
The time to act has just begun
Whatll I do if you walk away
Whatll I do if you walk away
Well I havent a chance
No I havent a chance

Hes Got A Secret
(v. peterson)
Susanna
Oh, there he goes
Everybodys watching
Everybody knows
Somethings going on
It certainly shows
When hes got a secret for you
Its there when he walks
Its there when he smiles
He kisses your cheek
And disappears for a while
Nothing in the worlds
Gonna cramp his style
If only he could keep it from you
Oh, I dont believe that
You havent seen by now (seen by now)
Dont look at me
cause Ill never tell
Dont you ever wonder
Why the phone always rings (phone always rings)
Seven-thirty-one
Every evening (every evening)
Doesnt it upset you
When you call his name
And he doesnt pay attention to you.
Oh, I dont believe that
You havent seen by now (seen by now)
Dont look at me
cause Ill never tell
Dont know the places he goes
Dont know the people he knows
Dont you understand
Its out of your hands
Oh i, dont believe that
You havent seen by now (seen by now)
Dont look at me
cause Ill never tell

Im Trying
She said Im not pointing fingers
He said yes you are
cause you wouldnt bring it up if you werent
If I told you Id been walking
Out in the dark night thinking
Would you take as truth this alcoholics word
I cant change whats done is done
But I can tell you this
Not a day goes by that i
Dont curse myself and all my sins
And I need you to hold on to
While this part of me is dying
And though I havent kicked the demons
That haunt me
Im trying
Im trying
She sat down on the floor
And said I wish I was stronger
Right now I feel fragile as glass
I want to believe you
Believe whats held you has freed you
And I hate these doubts
That keep on coming back
My parents think Im crazy
For staying here this long
But theres nothing more I want for us
Than to prove to them theyre wrong
I dont want to be afraid
I dont want to think youre lying
And though I havent found the faith
That I need
Im trying
Im trying
He asked do you want me to leave
cause if you do you know I will
But she said much to his disbelief
No I love you still
Oh I love you still
He said I dont know why Ive been the fool
But I can tell you this
Not a day goes by that i
Dont curse myself and all my sins
Then he dropped down to his knees
By now they both were crying
He said I havent been the man I want to be
But Im trying
Im trying
Im trying believe me

Nobody Else In The World But You
(don henley/jai winding/stan lynch)
You live in a house of mirrors
Reflecting your splendid isolation
You have so much of everything
Except for true consideration
The way you dance
The way you walk
The way you drive
The way you talk
The way you eat
The way you drink
The way you act
The way that you dont think
Its like theres
Nobody else in the world but you
Nobody else in the world
Nobody else in the world but you
In case you havent noticed
Theres lots of other people here, too
Hey now, did your momma teach you anything?
Some things still got to be respected
Is it a sign of the times, or is it just your callous heart?
How did you get so disconnected?
The way you push
The way you shove
The way you hate
The way you love
The lies you spin
The scenes you make
The grief you give
The space you take
Its like theres
Nobody else in the world but you
Nobody else in the world
Nobody else in the world but you
In case you havent noticed
Theres lots of other people here, too
And now its time you did a little giving, baby
The world is not your plaything, no, no, no
(solo)
Nobody else in the world but you
Nobody else in the world
Nobody else in the world but you
In case you havent noticed
Theres lots of other people here
Nobody else in the world but you
Nobody else in the world
Its like theresnobody else in the world but you
In case you havent noticed there are lots of other people here, too

Havent We Come A Long Way
(eric carmen)
Baby
Life has come between a lot of happy people
But the world has never had a broken heart
So dont you let it get you too discouraged
Sometimes bein in love takes a lot of courage
Havent we come a long way, baby
To let this foolish world
Tear us both apart
Oh darlin
(I said)
After all weve been through, baby
If you left me now
You know its got to break my heart
Baby
Everybody tells me the things I ought to be
And all the while Im just tryin to make ends meet
Dont you let it bring you down, now honey
cause the love that we got doesnt cost any money
Havent we come a long way, baby
To let this foolish world
Tear us both apart
Oh darlin
(I said)
After all weve been through, baby
If you left me now
You know its got to break my heart
I said love is the answer
And love is in me
Havent we come a long way, baby
To let this foolish world
Tear us both apart
Oh darlin
(listen)
After all weve been through, baby
If you left me now
You know its got to break my heart
Havent we come a long way, baby
Havent we come a long way, baby
Listen when I tell you now
Havent we come a long way, baby

Home In San Antone
Havent got a worry
Havent got a care
I havent got a thing to call my own
Though Im out of money
Im a millionaire
I still have my home in san antone
When I greet my neighbor with a hi yall
Im wealthy as a king upon a throne
You can have your mansion or your cottage small
Ill just take my home in san antone
Traveling around the country
On my merry way
Ive been to crowds and felt I was alone
But when I feel like braggin
I just up and say
Im a native son of san antone
Theres a sweet somebody by the alamo
Someday shes going to be my very own
And well buy a high chair in a year or so
For our little home in san antone

Get Into My Groove
(j.p. maunick / ski oakenful)
Politicians knocking at my door
Heads of nations rotten to the core
Tell me how are you gonna change the world
When you havent got the love
I still remember your promise from the past
And here you are with another that wont last
You tell me how youre gonna change the world
When you havent got the love
Dont shake me by the hand
Pretend to understand
To get into my mind
You got to get into my groove
Step into my shoes
Come and feel my blues
To comprehend my life
You got to get into my groove
You say youre standing for the hungry and the weak
But your words are as hollow as the glory that you seek
Tell me how youre gonna change the world
When you havent got the love
You want the world to see your point of view
But your eyes are closed to the pain we must undo
Tell me how youre gonna change the world
When you havent got the love
Before you tell the world about the things that they should do
Stop and take a look whats going on inside of you
Divisions are the consequences of the games you play
Look inside you

We Can Stop The Hurting
What has happened to our town
Theres people sleeping on the ground
Cold and lost, they fear the night
Left alone, theyll lose the fight
Hadnt we better reach for more than just a dime
Shouldnt we try to talk that boy out of his crime
Havent you had it knowing nothings getting solved
Maybe wed better, better get involved
Chorus:
We could stop the hurtin for awhile
We could stop the hurtin for awhile
If we found a way to reconcile
We could stop the hurtin
Families livin in their cars and kids run numbers out of bars
Knowing pride wont pay the bills, men work jobs beneath their skills
Hadnt we better hand out more than just a line
Shouldnt we try to find solutions with our minds
Havent you had it knowing nothings getting solved
Maybe wed better, better get involved

Ana Ng
Make a hole with a gun perpendicular
To the name of this town in a desk-top globe
Exit wound in a foreign nation
Showing the home of the one this was written for
My apartment looks upside down from there
Water spirals the wrong way out the sink
And her voice is a backwards record
Its like a whirlpool and it never ends
Ana ng and I are getting old
And we still havent walked in the glow of each others majestic presence
Listen ana hear my words
Theyre the ones you would think I would say if there was a me for you
All alone at the 64 worlds fair
Eighty dolls yelling small girl after all
Who was at the dupont pavilion?
Why was the bench still warm? who had been there?
Or the time when the storm tangled up the wire
To the horn on the pole at the bus depot
And in the back of the edge of hearing
These are the words the voice was repeating:
Ana ng and I are getting old
And we still havent walked in the glow of each others majestic presence
Listen ana hear my words
Theyre the ones you would think I would say if there was a me for you
When I was driving once I saw this painted on a bridge:
I dont want the world, I just want your half
They dont need me here, and I know youre there (dont need me)
Where the world goes by like the humid air (world goes by)
And it sticks like a broken record
Everything sticks like a broken record
Everything sticks until it goes away (it goes home)
And the truth is, we dont know anything (dont know)
Ana ng and I are getting old
And we still havent walked in the glow of each others majestic presence
Listen ana hear my words
Theyre the ones you would think I would say if there was a me for you
Ana ng and I are getting old
And we still havent walked in the glow of each others majestic presence
Listen ana hear my words
Theyre the ones you would think I would say if there was a me for you
Ana ng and I are getting old
And we still havent walked in the glow of each others majestic presence

Spiritual Walkers
They knock on your door
You laugh in their face
They tell you its time to pray
They give you a book
And tell you to read
And point to the judgment day
People say they live dangerously
Walking places they should not be
But they will walk their lives
With a never ending light
They will walk their lives
til they shine the light
Of truth into your life
They sit on a stump
You run from their sight
To not hear the holy word
They sing and they chant
They preach and they speak
In tongues you have never heard
But people say they live dangerously
Walking places they should not be
But they will walk their lives
With a never ending light
They will walk their lives
til they shine the light
Of truth into your life
Havent you ever encountered the spiritual walkers
They just walk the light through the day through the night
Havent you ever encountered the spiritual walkers
They just walk the light through the day through the night
Walk on ...
On corners of streets
And airports of tents
They reach out for you to come in
They have no defense
Except inner sense
And knowing the almighty friend
People say they live dangerously
Walking places they should not be
But they will walk their lives
With a never ending light
They will walk their lives
til they shine the light
Of truth into your life truth into your life
Havent you ever encountered the spiritual walkers
They just walk the light through the day through the night
Havent you ever encountered the spiritual walkers
They just walk the light through the day through the night
(repeat)
Come on and shine that light through the day through the night
Havent you ever encountered the spiritual walkers
They just walk the light through the day through the night
Even though when they knock on your door
You laugh in their face
You run from their sight
Not to hear the holy word
They have no defense
Except inner sense
Havent you
