Happy
(Jagger/Richards)
Well I never kept a dollar past sunset
Always burned a hole in my pants
I never made a school mama happy
I never blew a second chance, oh no
I need a love to keep me happy
I need a love to keep me happy
Baby, baby won’t you keep me happy
Baby, baby won’t you keep me
I always took candy from strangers
I never wanna learn me no trade
I didn’t wanna be like mama and papa
Working for the man ev’ry night and day
I need a love to keep me happy
I need a love to keep me happy
Baby, baby won’t you keep me happy
Baby, baby won’t you keep me
I never got a flash out of cocktails
When I got some flesh on the bone
I never got a lift out of Lear jets
When I could fly way back home
I need a love to keep me happy
I need a love to keep me happy
Baby, baby won’t you keep me happy
Baby, baby won’t you keep me

Dancing on the Edge of the World
(Lyon/Kazee)
The shadows of evening
Stretch out behind us
Like some great dream of heaven
Lost in a moment
We dance on in silence
Framed by the setting sun
Birds fly low across the horizon
As clouds like armies gather
There are whispers of sorrow
And sighs of regret
The last act has begun
When the rain comes
And it will come, let it
Let it drown tomorrow in its tears
When the trumpet’s calling
When all the stars are fallen
They’ll find us dancing on the edge
Of the world
Of the world
Drifting and dreaming
We spend these last moments
In some vague hope of heaven
Fired by desire
We’ll burn our existence
In the last rays of the sun
Darkness falls along the horizon
As clouds of seabirds gather
They sign songs of sorrow
They cry in regret
The last night has begun
When the rain comes
And it will come, let it
Let it drown tomorrow in its tears
When the trumpet’s calling
And when all the stars are falling
And I’m just dancing on the edge
Of the world
Of the world
When the trumpet’s calling
And when all the stars are falling
And I’m just dancing on the edge
Of the world
Dancing on the edge of the world

You’re My Girl (I Don’t Want To Discuss It) 4:17
(Cooper/Beatty/Shelby)
You’re my girl
You’re my girl
I see your bag’s all packed
And you’re ready to go
Just one thing I think you should know
I don’t want to discuss it
Don’t try now, don’t say one word
I don’t want to discuss it
Cause I don’t like what I heard
You’re my girl, you’re my girl
You’re my girl, you’re my girl
And baby that’s it
And baby that’s it
I don’t want to talk about it
Cause I know just what you’re gonna say
I don’t want to discuss it
Just ain’t no need to try
I don’t want to discuss it
Cause I know just where you’re at
You’re my girl, you’re my girl
You’re my girl, you’re my girl
And baby that’s it
And baby that’s it
Don’t want to talk about it
I don’t want to talk no more
The talking light is no longer lit baby
We talked and talked all night long
Now the time for talking is gone
Sun comes up soon my baby
And I’m gonna be yours
You’re gonna be mine
Ain’t no maybe
Someday baby don’t know
Back knocking for my baby
Take it easy baby
I say take it easy baby
You’re my girl, you’re my girl
Talk to me
You’re my girl, you’re my girl
And baby that’s it
And baby that’s it

Into the Harbour
(Lyon/Kazee)
This old ship needs caulking and the crew needs
rest
And I’m weary of the sea, I must confess
This is not the final journey I had planned
And my sea legs may stumble when they hit dry land
But I can go no farther, I’m headed into the harbour
Polynesian women could not tempt
Austere virtue of James Cook
But me I was never exempt
More like lustful old Captain Hook
And Odyseuss’ journeys were not mine
But I swear I’ve ventured some distance along that line
Now I’m back from those charters
I’m headed into the harbour, I’m headed into the harbour
Now I am ashore to stay, never more
To sail away, to sail away, sail away
Now these hands are numb, my beard is grey
I watch my children’s children sail away
I watch them sail away
Into the harbour, Into the harbour
I’m sailing into the harbour, I’ve come into the harbour

Hang Down Your Head
(Waits)
Hush a wild violet
Hush a band of gold
Hush you’re in a story
I heard somebody told
Tear the promise from my heart
Tear my heart today
You have found another one
And I must go away
So hang down your head for sorrow
Hang down your head for me
Hang down your head tomorrow
Hang down your head, Marie
Hush my love the rain now
Hush my love so true
Hush my love a train now
It takes me away from you
So hang down your head for sorrow
Hang down your head for me
Hang down your head tomorrow
Hang down your head, Marie
So hang down your head for sorrow
Hang down your head for me
Hang down your head tomorrow
Hang down your head, Marie

The Time Between 5:35
(Lyon/Cavaliere/Kazee)
When we’re together
Nothing could ever be wrong
But when we’re far apart
Everything takes so long
I can feel her pulling me
From so far away
Like the moon pulls at the tide
Day by day
The time between
It goes so slowly
It makes my heart feel like stone
The days and nights
They get so damn lonely
But I know someday
She’s coming back home
All of those hours
Longing to feel her soft touch
There are some nights I swear
It gets to be too much
Then I smell her perfume
On my pillowcase
And I know that we’ve got something
That distance can’t erase
The time between
It goes so slowly
But I know someday
She’s coming back home
That’s how I feel
How I feel when you’re not there
Sometimes I can’t believe
How much I care

When Rita Leaves
(McClinton/Nicholson)
I got a lipstick letter on the mirror
Shattered on the bathroom floor
All I could put back together was
‘...never seein’ me no more.’
Took all her clothes but one red dress
The one she knows I like the best
All I could do was clean up the mess
And wonder where she had gone
I had a sky-blue, ragtop Mustang 1964
She drove it off into the night
Til it just wouldn’t roll anymore
Caught a ride back into town
Bought some gas and laid the top down
Then she burned my pony to the ground
Somewhere on the desert floor
When Rita leaves, Rita’s gone
She gave me every chance in the world
That a man could want
I’ve never known a love so strong
Or so crazy when she’s been done wrong
When Rita leaves, Rita’s gone
I put a call in to her mamasita
Way down in El Paso
She said she heard the news from Rita
On her way to Mexico
Her mama knew I was takin’ it hard
Said she ‘I’m sorry about your car.
You’re lucky all she broke is your heart
You better just let her go.’
When Rita leaves, Rita’s gone
She gave me every chance in the world
That a man could want
I’ve never known a love so strong
Or so crazy when she’s been done wrong
When Rita leaves, Rita’s gone

Don’t Call Me Baby
(Lyon/Kazee)
Well your bags are packed
I see you’re ready to go
We played out this scene
A time or two before
But if our good thing, baby,
Has really come to an end
Don’t ever think that we can’t be just friends
All those hard years together
Girl when we didn’t have one dime
We held on to each other
Through the bad and the worse
And now I gotta watch you walk away
After all this time
Don’t call me baby
If you’re leaving me
Cause it hurts too much
To hear that word right now
Don’t call me baby
If you’re leaving me
Cause it’s not what I want to hear you say
If you’re only gonna turn and walk away
I guess I should be a little more understanding
Just smile and wish you well
I’ve never been that good at pretending
I need to tell you the truth
I want to tell you how I really feel
If you want to go let’s not linger
We’ll cut our losses and walk away
Don’t give me false hope girl
That’s so unkind
Don’t make me beg you to change your mind
Don’t call me baby If you’re leaving me
Cause it hurts too much to hear that word right now
Don’t call me baby
If you’re leaving me
Cause it’s not what I want to hear you say
If you’re only gonna turn and walk away
Don’t do it to me darling
You already broke my heart
You don’t need to tear it apart
Don’t call me baby
If you’re leaving me
Cause it hurts too much
To hear that word right now
Don’t call me baby
If you’re leaving me
Cause it’s not what I want to hear you say
If you’re only gonna turn and walk away

Tear Stained Letter
(R. Thompson)
It was three in the morning
When she took me apart
She wrecked the furniture
And she wrecked my heart
She danced on my head like Arthur Murray
The scars ain’t ever gonna leave in a hurry
Just when I thought
I could learn to forget her
Right through the door
Came a tear stained letter
Whoa, Oh, Oh Lord, Lord
Cry and cry if it makes you feel better
Set it all down in a tear stained letter
Whoa, Oh, Oh Lord, Lord
Cry and cry if it makes you feel better
Set it all down in a tear stained letter
Well my head was beating
Like a song by The Clash
I was writing checks
That my body couldn’t cash
I got to my feet
I was reelin’ and dizzy
I went for the phone
But the line was busy
Just when I thought
That things would get better
Right through the door
Came a tear stained letter
Whoa, Oh, Oh Lord, Lord
Cry and cry if it makes you feel better
Set it all down in a tear stained letter
Whoa, Oh, Oh Lord, Lord
Cry and cry if it makes you feel better
Set it all down in a tear stained letter
Now I like coffee and I like tea
But I just don’t like all this fiddle-de-de
It makes me nervous
It gives me a rash
Love ain’t nothing but a
Splinter in the ass
Just when I thought
That things would get better
Right through the door
Came a tear stained letter
Whoa, Oh, Oh Lord, Lord
Cry and cry if it makes you feel better
Set it all down in a tear stained letter

All In My Mind
(Johnson/Brown/Kirkland)
I think that you don’t care
And it’s more than I can bear
I don’t know baby
Maybe it’s all in my mind
I know that I’ve been true
But but in my sleep baby
I wonder sometimes about you
I don’t know now baby
Maybe it’s all in my mind
Yes it is
We’ve been going together for so long
I never knew something was wrong
You know I knew I was yours
And I thought you were mine
And that every little thing was so fine
Darling I hate to see
Someone else with you
Other than me
I don’t know now baby
Maybe it’s all in my mind

Nothing But a Heartache
(Bickerton/Waddington)
Nothing but a heartache every day
Nothing but a tear drop all the way
A sad situation that I just can’t win
She’s got me, oh why can’t I get her?
Nothing but a heartache every day
Nothing but a tear drop all the way
It so ain’t right, it so ain’t fair
She’s got me, oh why can’t I get her?
I got a lot of those heartaches
I got a lot of those tear drops
Heartaches, tear drops, all of the way
Nothing but a heartache every day
I got a lot of those heartaches
I got a lot of those tear drops
Heartaches, tear drops, all of the way
Nothing but a heartache every day
Nothing but a tear drop all of the way
Nothing but a heartache every day
Nothing but a heartache all of the way
Nothing but a heartache
Nothing but a teardrop
