Cage I Rattle I don’t care who’s cage I rattle I can see just what’s in store If we don’t show up for battle We will surely lose the war No one need be sick or hungry No one need be left outside In this land of good and plenty None should miss the rising tide I don’t care who’s cage I rattle I can see just what’s in store If we don’t show up for battle We will surely lose the war Point your guns at someone else now They ain’t no good for humanity When a machine that kills becomes a sacred cow You’ve lost your soul and your sanity I don’t care who’s cage I rattle I can see just what’s in store If we don’t show up for battle We will surely lose the war 40 hours to barely make it Nothing gonna come our way A chosen few, with glee they take it There’ll be no rest til we have fair play I don’t care who’s cage I rattle I can see just what’s in store If we don’t show up for battle We will surely lose the war Love is love is love is love Let no one tell you who to hug Love is love is love is love Let no one tell you who to hug I don’t care who’s cage I rattle I can see just what’s in store If we don’t show up for battle We will surely lose the war

Grace 03:58
Grace Grace knocked me right to the floor And, having no reason to settle a score I left a note on the door Wanting no feedback, or anything more I don’t feel the need To plant another seed When it all comes down It’s really going round and round and round………. Grace didn’t know what she’d said But it fell like a feather where I had once bled Big dreams made up our bed Pillows of fancy where I lay my head And I don’t feel the need To bend another reed When it all comes down It’s really going round and round and round Feast or famine, it’s the best of both worlds The least examined is the prettiest pearl Headlights shining right up to the moon My silver lining will carry a tune Grace gave from happy to sad No one expected, it was all that she had She told me, “Don’t say, goodnight, when you’re mad” I’ll ease your heartache if you’re feeling bad I don’t feel the need To offer up my creed When it all comes down It’s really going round and round and round……… Oh Grace Oh Grace Oh Grace Oh Grace

Twice 03:38
Twice I hear you breathing, next to me there in the night I get the feeling, the feeling that everything’s right Though I won’t be able, to beg, steal or borrow the years Still, there’s no sorrow. It’s happiness that brings me to tears *** Hey mama, bring back my bonnie to me Hey lover, open your eyes and you’ll see So many nights, we spent there on the phone So many hours, talking together, alone Minutes meant nothing and heartbeats they measured the time I know you mean it, baby you dropped a dime *** You know I love you, don’t ever let me slip away From heaven above you have flown to the perch where I play Once in a lifetime, someone like you comes along Twice in a lifetime, oh you got a song….. ***

Just So You Know I’ve seen the city lights, just so you know I’ve walked the side walk too, just so you know I felt the way love bites, just so you know I heard it all from you, just so you know Ain’t it just, so you know I played it all so well, just so you know I drank a thousand toasts, just so you know I bought the wishing well, just so you know I’ve seen too many ghosts, just so you know Ain’t it just, so you know Ain’t it just, so you know What makes you think, the sun won’t ever shine ? What makes you think, the sideshow isn’t mine ? What makes you think, I’d give you the time ? Well that’s fine….. I made my peace with it, just so you know Can’t say that I don’t care, just so you know I held the hand that quit, just so you know Whistle dixie and I’ll be there, just so you know Ain’t it just, so you know, etc., etc……

My Place 04:00
My Place The dead and the dying are dialing for dollars Down to the creek rolls a stone I haven’t seen you for so many hours How could you leave me alone ? Is it my place to make you a home ? The bright and the beautiful await April showers In May they may bloom for a cause After much soul searching and before the flowers Who’s to say just what it was ? Is it my place to point out the flaws ? Typical Daydream Fanciful night scene The clock moves to buy us some time The clock moves to buy us some time The size of the basket is not so important As the love that will carry it ‘round I promise I’ll ask, if you promise to answer And still neither one makes a sound Is it my place to take what you found ? Is it my place to take what you found ? Is it my place to take what you……………. ………..Typical Daydream Fanciful night scene The clock moves to buy us some time The clock moves to buy us some time

Brazil 02:08
Brazil I love it honey when you paint your toes And I love they way, you wiggle your nose Rainy day’s coming, let’s play house You could take a song right out of my mouth I’m, going south Let’s go shopping for that little blue dress Forget about the wind, my hair’s a mess Rainy day’s coming, let’s play house That’s a trim little trap you set for the mouse I’m, going south South of the border, down if you will I’m gonna love you all the way to Brazil South of the border, down if you will I’m gonna love you all the way to Brazil Tap your feet, take my hand Who knows where we might land Rainy day’s coming, let’s play house I’ll tickle Rita, don’t you pout I’m, going south South of the border, down if you will I’m gonna love you all the way to Brazil South of the border, down if you will I’m gonna love you all the way to Brazil

Ain’t No Cryin’ You packed your hotdogs and packed up your cats High heeled sneakers and pastel colored flats I need a Kleenex like you need a brassiere I’ll miss you honey but, there ain’t no cryin’ here You emptied closets and the drawer that hold your face A taxi’s waiting for a ride to your new place I’ll help you load it, but I won’t shed a tear I’ll miss you honey but, there ain’t no cryin’ here There ain’t no crying – there ain’t no dieing here I got my buddies and a brand new case of beer Let me tell a little lie, I never though we’d say goodbye I’ll keep the Beatles and you keep the kinks You like Madonna and I think she stinks Hey little lemming, you’ve got nothing to fear I’ll miss you honey but, there ain’t no cryin’ here I’ll kiss you honey but, there ain’t no cryin’ here I’ll lick your bunny but, there ain’t no cryin’ here

Sticks & Stones They say that hearts are made for breaking And I know it must be true I left my love for the taking But I never expected you Sticks and stones can break my bones Only you can break my heart After all this time alone I do think that we should part I know that love is like an outlaw Sneaking in and sneaking out Like a thief it helps itself To everything that you’re about Sticks and stones can break my bones Only you can break my heart After all this time alone I do think that we should part Those sticks and stones we’re throwing Could have built a home for two Oh, instead of flowers growing There’s just all that we can do Sticks and stones will break your bones True love will never break your heart

Before Sunrise Just before sunrise, the captain is calling Our sails set to the wind Just before sunrise, I’ve finished falling Let’s let a new tale begin Hey, ho find me an island Hey, ho bring me a key Hey, ho everyone’s smiling The wind, water and me Just before sunrise, the captain is crossing Oceans of who we might be Just before sunrise, I’m already tossing Everything into the sea Hey, ho find me an island Hey, ho bring me a key Hey, ho everyone’s smiling The wind, water and me Just before sunrise the captain is raising A flag that may shed a clue Just before sunrise, big, yellow and blazing I’m sailing away with you Hey, ho find me an island Hey, ho bring me a key Hey, ho everyone’s smiling The wind, water and me Just before sunrise, the captain is walking Decks that will take us ashore Just before sunrise, up all night talking I won’t say anything more Hey, ho find me an island Hey, ho bring me a key Hey, ho everyone’s smiling The wind, water and me We are wind on the water – We are Salt from the sea – We are right where we ought to be We are free
