No Reply 02:14
"No Reply" This happened once before When I came to your door No reply They said it wasn't you But I saw you peep through your window I saw the lie, I saw the lie I know that you saw me As I looked up to see your face I tried to telephone They said you were not home That's a lie 'Cause I know where you've been I saw you walk in your door I nearly died, I nearly died 'Cause you walked hand in hand With another man in my place If I were you I'd realize that I Love you more than any other guy And I'll forgive the lies that I Heard before when you gave me no reply I've tried to telephone They said you were not home That's a lie 'Cause I know where you've been I saw you walk in your door I nearly died, I nearly died 'Cause you walked hand in hand With another man in my place No reply, no reply

Ring Of Fire 02:33
"Ring Of Fire" Love is a burnin' thing And it makes a fiery ring Bound by wild desire I fell into a ring of fire I fell into a burnin' ring of fire I went down, down, down And the flames went higher And it burns, burns, burns The ring of fire, the ring of fire I fell into a burnin' ring of fire I went down, down, down And the flames went higher And it burns, burns, burns The ring of fire, the ring of fire The taste of love is sweet When hearts like ours meet I fell for you like a child Oh, but the fire went wild I fell into a burnin' ring of fire I went down, down, down And the flames went higher And it burns, burns, burns The ring of fire, the ring of fire I fell into a burnin' ring of fire I went down, down, down And the flames went higher And it burns, burns, burns The ring of fire, the ring of fire And it burns, burns, burns The ring of fire, the ring of fire The ring of fire, the ring of fire The ring of fire

Misery 01:47
"Misery" The world is treating me bad... Misery I'm the kind of guy Who never used to cry The world is treating me bad... Misery! I've lost her now for sure I won't see her no more It's gonna be a drag... Misery! I'll remember all the little things we've done Can't she see she'll always be the only one, only one Send her back to me Cos everyone can see Without her I will be in misery I'll remember all the little things we've done She'll remember and she'll miss her only one, lonely one Send her back to me Cos everyone can see Without her I will be in misery (Oh oh oh) In misery (Ooh ee ooh ooh) My misery (La la la la la la)

"Somethin' Stupid" I know I stand in line until you think you have the time To spend an evening with me And if we go someplace to dance, I know that there's a chance You won't be leaving with me And afterwards we drop into a quiet little place and have a drink or two And then I go and spoil it all by saying something stupid like "I love you" I can see it in your eyes That you despise the same old lies you heard the night before And though it's just a line to you, for me it's true And never seemed so right before I practice every day to find some clever lines to say To make the meaning come through But then I think I'll wait until the evening gets late and I'm alone with you The time is right, your perfume fills my head, the stars get red and, oh, the night's so blue And then I go and spoil it all by saying something stupid like "I love you" [instrumental] The time is right, your perfume fills my head, the stars get red and, oh, the night's so blue And then I go and spoil it all by sayin' something stupid like "I love you" I love you I love you I love you [Fade:] I love you

"Ventura Highway" Chewing on a piece of grass Walking down the road Tell me, how long you gonna stay here, Joe? Some people say this town don't look good in snow You don't care, I know Ventura Highway in the sunshine Where the days are longer The nights are stronger than moonshine You're gonna go I know 'Cause the free wind is blowin' through your hair And the days surround your daylight there Seasons crying no despair Alligator lizards in the air, in the air Did di di di dit ... Wishin' on a falling star Waitin' for the early train Sorry boy, but I've been hit by purple rain Aw, come on, Joe, you can always Change your name Thanks a lot, son, just the same Ventura Highway in the sunshine Where the days are longer The nights are stronger than moonshine You're gonna go I know 'Cause the free wind is blowin' through your hair And the days surround your daylight there Seasons crying no despair Alligator lizards in the air, in the air Did di di di dit ...

Two Of Us 03:18
"Two Of Us" Two of us riding nowhere Spending someone's Hard earned pay You and me Sunday driving Not arriving On our way back home We're on our way home We're on our way home We're going home Two of us sending postcards Writing letters On my wall You and me burning matches Lifting latches On our way back home We're on our way home We're on our way home We're going home You and I have memories Longer than the road that stretches out ahead Two of us wearing raincoats Standing so low In the sun You and me chasing paper Getting nowhere On our way back home We're on our way home We're on our way home We're going home You and I have memories Longer than the road that stretches out ahead Two of us wearing raincoats Standing so low In the sun You and me chasing paper Getting nowhere On our way back home We're on our way home We're on our way home We're going home [We're going home, you better believe it. Goodbye.]

Truckin' 05:08
"Truckin'" Truckin' got my chips cashed in Keep truckin' like the doodah man Together, more or less in line Just keep truckin' on Arrows of neon and flashing marquees out on Main Street Chicago, New York, Detroit and its all the same street Your typical city involved in a typical daydream Hang it up and see what tomorrow brings Dallas got a soft machine Houston too close to New Orleans New York got the ways and means But just won't let you be Most of the cats that you meet on the street speak of true love Most of the time they're sitting and crying at home One of these days they know they gotta get going Out of the door and into the street all alone Truckin' like the doodah man Once told me "Gotta play your hand Sometimes the cards ain't worth a dime If you don't lay them down" Sometimes the lights all shining on me Other times I can barely see Lately it occurs to me What a long strange trip it's been What in the world ever became of sweet Jane? (note 1) She lost her sparkle you know she isn't the same Living on reds and vitamin C and cocaine All her friends can say is ain't it a shame Truckin' up to Buffalo Been thinking you got to mellow slow Takes time, you pick a place to go Just keep truckin' on Sitting and staring out of the hotel window Got a tip they're gonna kick the door in again Like to get some sleep before I travel But if you got a warrant I guess you're gonna come in Busted down on Bourbon Street Set up like a bowling pin Knocked down, it gets to wearing thin They just won't let you be You're sick of hanging around, you'd like to travel Get tired of travelling you want to settle down I guess they can't revoke your soul for trying Get out of the door, light out and look all around Sometimes the lights all shining on me Other times I can barely see Lately it occurs to me What a long strange trip it's been Truckin' I'm a going home Whoa, whoa, baby, back where I belong Back home, sit down and patch my bones And get back truckin' on

"Cheek To Cheek" Heaven, I'm in heaven And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak And I seem to find the happiness I seek When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek Yes, heaven, I'm in heaven And the cares that hung around me through the week Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek Oh I love to climb to mountain And reach the highest peak But it doesn't thrill me half as much As dancing cheek to cheek Oh I love to go out fishing In a river or a creek But I don't enjoy it half as much As dancing cheek to cheek Now mama dance with me I want my arms about you That charm about you Will carry me through Yes, heaven, I'm in heaven And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak And I seem to find the happiness I seek When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek Take it Ella swing it Heaven, I'm in heaven And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak And I seem to find the happiness I seek When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek Heaven, I'm in heaven And the cares that hung around me through the week Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek Oh I love to climb a mountain And reach the highest peak But it doesn't thrill me half as much As dancing cheek to cheek Oh I love to go out fishing In a river or a creek But I don't enjoy it half as much As dancing cheek to cheek Come on and dance with me I want my arms about you That charm about you Will carry me through To heaven, I'm in heaven And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak And I seem to find the happiness I seek When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek Dance with me I want my arms about you That charm about you Will carry me through To heaven (heaven), I'm in heaven (I'm in heaven) And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak And I seem to find the happiness I seek When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek Cheek to cheek Cheek to cheek Cheek to cheek

Love Letters 02:44
"Love Letters" Love letters straight from your heart Keep us so near while apart. I'm not alone in the night When I can have all the love you write. I memorize every line And I kiss the name that you sign. And darling then I read 'again right from the start. Love letters straight from your heart. I memorize every line. Love letters straight from your heart Love letters straight from your heart.

"Do You Know The Way To San José?" Do you know the way to San Jose? I've been away so long. I may go wrong and lose my way. Do you know the way to San Jose? I'm going back to find some peace of mind in San Jose. L.A. is a great big freeway. Put a hundred down and buy a car. In a week, maybe two, they'll make you a star Weeks turn into years. How quick they pass And all the stars that never were Are parking cars and pumping gas You can really breathe in San Jose They've got a lot of space. There'll be a place where I can stay I was born and raised in San Jose I'm going back to find some peace of mind in San Jose. Fame and fortune is a magnet. It can pull you far away from home With a dream in your heart you're never alone. Dreams turn into dust and blow away And there you are without a friend You pack your car and ride away L.A. is a great big freeway. Put a hundred down and buy a car. In a week, maybe two, they'll make you a star Weeks turn into years. How quck they pass And all the stars that never were Are parking cars and pumping gas I've got lots of friends in San Jose Do you know the way to San Jose? Can't wait to get back to San Jose.

"You Can Get It If You Really Want" You can get it if you really want You can get it if you really want You can get it if you really want But you must try, try and try, try and try You'll succeed at last Persecution you must fear Win or lose you got to get your share You've got your mind set on a dream You can get it though hard it may seem now You can get it if you really want You can get it if you really want You can get it if you really want But you must try, try and try, try and try You'll succeed at last I know it - listen Rome was not built in a day Opposition will come your way But the hotter the battle you see Is the sweeter the victory now You can get it if you really want You can get it if you really want You can get it if you really want But you must try, try and try, try and try You'll succeed at last

"Mother Nature's Son" Born a poor young country boy, Mother Nature's son All day long I'm sitting singing songs for everyone Sit beside a mountain stream, see her waters rise Listen to the pretty sound of music as she flies Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo Doo doo doo Find me in my field of grass, Mother Nature's son Swaying daisies sing a lazy song beneath the sun Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo Doo doo doo doo doo doo Yeah yeah yeah Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm Mm mm mm, ooh ooh ooh Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm Mm mm mm mm, wah wah wah Wah, Mother Nature's son

"A Horse With No Name" On the first part of the journey I was looking at all the life There were plants and birds and rocks and things There was sand and hills and rings The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz And the sky with no clouds The heat was hot and the ground was dry But the air was full of sound I've been through the desert on a horse with no name It felt good to be out of the rain In the desert you can remember your name 'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain La, la, la la la la, la la la, la la... La, la, la la la la, la la la, la la... After two days in the desert sun My skin began to turn red After three days in the desert fun I was looking at a river bed And the story it told of a river that flowed Made me sad to think it was dead You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name It felt good to be out of the rain In the desert you can remember your name 'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain La, la, la la la la, la la la, la la... After nine days I let the horse run free 'Cause the desert had turned to sea There were plants and birds and rocks and things There was sand and hills and rings The ocean is a desert with its life underground And a perfect disguise all above Under the cities lies a heart made of ground But the humans will give no love You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name It felt good to be out of the rain In the desert you can remember your name 'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain La, la, la la la la, la la la, la la... [repeats]

"I'll Never Find Another You" There's a new world somewhere They call the promised land. And I'll be there someday If you could hold my hand. I still need you there beside me No matter what I do For I know I'll never find another you. There is always someone For each of us, they say. And you'll be my someone Forever and a day. I could search the whole world over Until my life is through But I know I'll never find another you. It's a long, long journey So stay by my side. When I walk through the storm You'll be my guide, be my guide. If they gave me a fortune My pleasure would be small. I could lose it all tomorrow And never mind at all. But if I should lose your love, dear, I don't know what I'd do For I know I'll never find another you. But if I should lose your love, dear, I don't know what I'd do. For I know I'll never find another you. Another you. Another you!

"This Boy" That boy took my love away Though he'll regret it someday But this boy wants you back again That boy isn't good for you Though he may want you too This boy wants you back again Oh, and this boy would be happy Just to love you, but oh my That boy won't be happy Till he's seen you cry This boy wouldn't mind the pain Would always feel the same If this boy gets you back again This boy This boy This boy [fade out]

"Misery" (swing version) The world is treating me bad... Misery I'm the kind of guy Who never used to cry The world is treating me bad... Misery! I've lost her now for sure I won't see her no more It's gonna be a drag... Misery! I'll remember all the little things we've done Can't she see she'll always be the only one, only one Send her back to me Cos everyone can see Without her I will be in misery I'll remember all the little things we've done She'll remember and she'll miss her only one, lonely one Send her back to me Cos everyone can see Without her I will be in misery (Oh oh oh) In misery (Ooh ee ooh ooh) My misery (La la la la la la)

"Uncertain Smile" Peeling the skin back from my eyes, I felt surprised that the time on the clock was the time I usually retired to the place where I cleared my head of you; but just for today, i think I'll lie here and dream of you. I've got you under my skin where the rain can't get in, but if the sweat pours out, just shout I'll try to SWIM AND pull you out. A howling wind blows the litter as the rain flows, As street lamps pour orange colored shapes through your window, a broken soul stares from a pair of watering eyes, uncertain emotions force an uncertain smile... I've got you under my skin where the rain can't get in, but if the sweat pours out, just shout I'll try to swim and pull you out.
