LOVE HURTS (1967/68)
(Boudleaux / Felice Bryant)
Love hurts, love scars, love wounds, love “mars”
Any heart, not tough nor strong enough to take a lot of pain
Take a lot of pain
Love is like a clown, holds a lot of brain
Love hurts
Love hurts
I’m young, I know but even so
I’ll know a thing or two I’ve learned from you, I’ve really learned a lot
Really learned a lot
Love is like a stove, burns you with its glow
Love hurts
Love hurts
Some fools rave of happiness, blissfulness, togetherness
Some fools fool themselves I guess
But they’re not fooling me
I know it isn’t true, know it isn’t true
Love is just a lie. made to make you blue
Love hurts
Love hurts
Love hurts
Love hurts
 
DON'T LET ME BE MISUNDERDTOOD (1967/69)
(Benjamin / Marcus / Caldwell)
Baby, do you understand me now, sometimes I feel a little mad
Don’t you know no one alive can always be an angel when things go wrong I seem to be bad
I’m just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh lord, please don’t let me be misunderstood
Baby, sometimes I’m so carefree, with a joy that’s hard to hide
And sometimes it seems that all I have to do is worry, and then you’re bound to see my other side
I’m just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh lord, please don’t let me be misunderstood
If I seem edgy, I want you to know that I never mean to take it out on you
Life has its problems and I get my share
And there is one thing that I never mean to to do - ‘cause I love you
Oh oh oh Baby don’t you know I’m human, have thoughts like any other one
Sometimes I find myself alone regretting, some foolish things, something I’ve said or done
I’m just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh lord, please don’t let me be misunderstood
I’m just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh lord, please don’t let me be misunderstood

LADY MADONNA (1968/69)
(John Lennon / Paul McCartney)
Lady Madonna, children at your feet
Wonder how you manage to make ends meet
Who finds the money, when you pay the rent
Did you think that money was heaven sent
Friday night arrives without a suitcase
Sunday morning creeping like a nun
Monday’s child has learned to tie his boot lace
See how they’ll run
Lady Madonna, baby at your breast
Wonder how you managed to feed the rest
See how they’ll run
Lady  Madonna, lying on yout bed
Listen to the music playing in you head
Tuesday afternoon is never ending
Wednesday morning papers didn’t come
Thursday night your stockings needed mending
See how they’ll run
Lady Madonna, children at your feet, wonder how you manage to make ends meet
 
YOU CAN ALL JOIN IN (1968/69)
(Dave Mason)
Here’s a little song you can all join in with it’s very simple and I hope it’s new
Make you own words up if you want to any old words that you think will do
Yellow, blue, what’ll I do, maybe I’ll just sit here thinking
Black, white, stop the fight, does one of these colours ever bother you
Here’s a little dance you can all join in with it’s very simple and I hope it’s new
Make you own steps up if you want to any old steps that you think will do
Left, right, don’t get uptight, you’ve been lying and you’ll be alright
Clap hands, move around, make sure noone puts you down
Here’s a little world you can all join in with it’s very simple and I hope it’s new
Make you own life up if you want to any old life that you think will do
Love yeah, it’s nothing new, there’s someone “much with softer newer”
Help me set them free, just be what you want to be
Here’s a little song you can all join in with it’s very simple and I hope it’s new
Make you own words up if you want to any old words that you think will do
 
REVOLUTION (?)
(John Lennon / Paul McCarrtney)
You say you want a revolution well you know
We all want to change the world
You tell me that it’s evolution well you know
We all want to change the world
But when you talk about destruction, don’t you know you can count me out
Don’t you know it’s gonna be alright, alright, alright
You say you got a real solution well you know
We’d all love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution well you know we’re all doing what we can
But when you want money for people with minds that hate
All I can tell is brother you have to wait
Don’t you know it’s gonna be alright, alright, alright
You say you’ll change the constitution well you know:
We all want to change your head
You tell me it’s the institution well you know
You better free your mind instead
But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao
You ain’t gonna make it with anyone anyhow
Don’t you know it’s gonna be alright, alright, alright, alright
 
WALK AWAY RENEE (?)
(Michael Brown / Calili / Sansome)
When I see the sign that points "One Way"
The lot we used to pass by every day
Just walk away Renee
You won't see me follow you back home
These empty sidewalks on my block
Are not the same
You're not to blame
From deep inside the tears, I'm forced to cry
From deep inside the pain, I chose to hide
Just walk away Renee
You won't see me follow you back home
Still as the rain beats down upon your weary eyes
For me you cry
Just walk away Renee
You won't see me follow you back home
Now let the rain beat down upon my weary eyes
For me and mine
Your name and mine inside a heart on a wall
Still finds a way to haunt me, though they're so small
Just walk away Renee
You won't see me follow you back home
These empty sidewalks on my block
Are not the same
You're not to blame
 
RIVER DEEP MOUNTAIN HIGH (?)
(Spector / Greenwich / Barry)
When I was a little boy I had a rag doll
The only doll I ever owned
Well I love you just the way I loved that rag doll, only now my love has grown
And it gets stronger in every way
And it gets deeper, let me say
And it gets higher, day by day
Do I love you my oh my
River deep mountain high
If I lost you would I cry?
Oh how I love you Baby -  Baby - Baby
When you were a young girl did you have a puppy that always followed you around
Well I’m gonna be as faithful as that puppy, no, I’ll never let you down
And it gets stronger in every way
And it gets deeper, let me say
And it gets higher, day by day
Do I love you my oh my
River deep mountain high
If I lost you would I cry?
Oh how I love you Baby -  Baby - Baby
 
SUMMER IN THE CITY (?)
(John Sebastian / Boone)
Hot town, summer in the city, back of my neck gettin’ dirt and gritty
Been down, isn’t it a pity, doesn’t seem to be a shadow in the city
All around people looking half dead
Walking on the sidefloor hotter than a matchhead
But tonight it’s a different world, go out and find a girl
Come on, come on and dance all night; despite the heat it’ll be alright and
Babe, don’t you know it’s a pity, the days can’t be like the nights
In the summer in the city, in the summer in the city
Cool town, evening in the city, dressed so fine and looking so pretty
Cool cat, looking for a kitty, gonna look in every corner of the city
Till I’m wheezin’  like a bus stop
Running up the stairs gonna meet you on the roof top
But tonight it’s a different world, go out and find a girl
Come on, come on and dance all night; despite the heat it’ll be alright and
Babe, don’t you know it’s a pity, the days can’t be like the nights
In the summer in the city, in the summer in the city

UP ON CRIPPLE CREEK (1970)
(Robbie Robertson)
When I get off of this mountain, you know where I want to go?
Straight down the Mississippi river, to the Gulf of Mexico
To Lake Charles, Louisiana, little Bessie, girl that I once knew
She told me just to come on by, if there's anything she could do
Up on Cripple Creek she sends me
If I spring a leak she mends me
I don't have to speak, she defends me
A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one
Good luck had just stung me, to the race track I did go
She bet on one horse to win and I bet on another to show
The odds were in my favor, I had 'em five to one
When that nag to win came around the track, sure enough she had won
Up on Cripple Creek she sends me
If I spring a leak she mends me
I don't have to speak, she defends me
A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one
I took up all of my winnings, and I gave my little Bessie half
And she tore it up and threw it in my face, just for a laugh
Now there's one thing in the whole wide world, I sure would like to see
That's when that little love of mine, dips her doughnut in my tea
Up on Cripple Creek she sends me
If I spring a leak she mends me
I don't have to speak, she defends me
A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one
Now me and my mate were back at the shack, we had Spike Jones on the box
She said, "I can't take the way he sings, but I love to hear him talk"
Now that just gave my heart a throb, to the bottom of my feet
And I swore and I took another pull, my Bessie can't be beat
Now there's a flood out in California and up north it's freezing cold
And this living on the road is getting pretty old
So I guess I'll call up my big mama, tell her I'll be rolling in
But you know, deep down, I'm kind of tempted
To go and see my Bessie again
 
MY DARK HOUR (1970/72)
(Steve Miller)
My dark hour
My dark hour, you know it's drivin' me wild
Well, well, I went to see the doctor
And I had my fortune read
And you know the doctor told me
Son you better stay in bed
Who's that comin' down that road
Looks like he's carryin' a heavy load
? and he started to say
Want to come with me on my way
My dark hour, mother nature's child
My dark hour, oh, it's drivin' me wild
Well, I went to see the doctor
Just to have my fortune read
Well, well, well, well, well, the doctor told me
Son you better stay in bed
So do you think these sinners will fall
Or do you think they'll survive us all
Well, well, well, well down this road
Won't you help me carry my load
My dark hour, mother nature's child
My dark hour, oh, it's drivin' me wild
