I'm So Anxious
(B. Rush)
Won't you come to Florida for a vacation?
The tan developer beckons from the television
They know they got me because I'm an insomniac
Records, detergents, here's the latest Pontiac
The got me so conditioned now that
When they talk I just react
Why they throwing it all at me?
I'm so
I'm so
I'm so anxious
Hard sell pressure got to keep the motor running
Stimulate your need to satisfy something
You don't want to be the one who never gets in line
You don't want to be the one who's always left behind
Pick up that phone you're running out of time
Why they throwing it all at me?
I'm so
I'm so
I'm so anxious
I'm so
I'm so
I'm so anxious
I know you're worrying what will the people say?
I know you're worrying you've got bills to pay
Worrying will the backwash get you?
The undertow drag you out?
You don't want to be the one who never gets in line
You don't want to be the one who's always left behind
Pick up that phone, quick you're running out of time
Why they throwing it all at me?
Why they throwing it all at me?
Why they throwing it all at me?
I'm so
I'm so
I'm so anxious
I'm so
I'm so
I'm so anxious

Talk To Me
(B. Springsteen)
Well every night I see a light up in your window
But every night you won't answer your door
But although you won't ever let me in
From the street I can see your silhouette sittin' close to him
What must I do?
What does it take?
To get you to
Talk to me
Until the night is over
Come on, baby
Talk to me
Well until the night is over
I got a full week's pay
And, baby, I've been working hard each day
I'm not asking for the world you see
I'm just asking, girl
Talk to me
Well late at night I hear the music that you're playing soft and low
Yes and late at night I see the two of you swayin' so close
I don't understand, darling, what was my sin?
Why am I down here below while you're up there with him?
What did I do?
What did I say?
What must I pay?
To get you to
Talk to me
Until the night is over
Little darling, won't you
Talk to me
Well until the night is over
Yea yea yea
I got a full week's pay
And baby I've been working hard each day
I'm not asking for the world you see
I'm just asking girl
Talk to me
I don't understand, darling, what was my sin?
Why am I down here below while you're up there with him?
What did I do?
What did I say?
What must I pay?
To get you to
Talk to me
Until the night is over
Come on, baby
Talk to me
Well until the night is over
Yea yea yea
I got a full week's pay
And baby
I've been working hard each day
I'm not asking for the world you see
I'm down on my bended knees
I'm just asking darling please won't you
Talk to me
Until the night is over
Come on talk to me
Until the night is over
Talk to me
Till the sun comes up

All I Want is Everything
(J. Lyon/B. Rush)
There is a drug on the market
They claim will satisfy
But I tried them already
And they just don't gratify
There ain't no drug ever made
Ever gonna pacify me
'Cause all I want is everything
All I want is everything
All I want is everything, everything
Forty-second street has so many devices
But very little I haven't tried
Newspapers drool at a mouthful of vices
Headlined in the classifieds
They say there's a limit to endurance
I know that I haven't reached mine
All I want is everything
All I want is everything
And I know that it's just my obsession
Makes me scurry like a rat in a maze
And I know it's becoming an addiction
I Need it now, right now, right now
Strong arm tactics have come into fashion
The muscle boys are back in style
They shatter the bones of descension
And never crack a smile
Well, if that's the way breaks are gotten
You know I'm gonna give it a try
All I want is everything
All I want is everything
All I want is everything
All I want, all I want, all I want is everything
Just give me everything
I don't want much, I just want it all, want it all
Everything, everything, everything, everything

Hearts of Stone
(B. Springsteen)
You stare in the mirror at the lines in your face
And you try so hard to see
The way things were when we were at your place
Everyday was just you and me
And you cry because things ain't like before
Well, don't you know it can't be that way anymore
But don't worry baby
I can't talk now, I'm not alone
So put your ear close to the phone
This is the last dance, the last chance
For hearts of stone
If there was something, baby, that I could do
Something that would last, honey, I would
But you should know better than to think that you
Can return to the past
So close your eyes and I'll be there
Hold you once more,not go anywhere
I wish I could, babe
But I can't talk now, I'm not alone
So put your ear close to the phone
This is the last dance, the last chance
For hearts of stone
And you cry because things get so strange so fast
And you cry because nothing good ever lasts
Well, I know babe
Yes, I know, babe
But I can't talk now, I'm not alone
So put your ear close to the phone
'Cause this is the last dance, the last chance
For hearts of stone
This is the last dance, the last chance
For hearts of stone

Trapped Again
(B. Springsteen/J. Lyon/S. Van Zandt)
Here I am, baby, right where you found me
Trying to break these chains that surround me
If I look a little different it's 'cause I've changed
Half-painted pictures are all that remains
I can't let my past mistakes, let 'em bring me down
I ain't waitin' on no angel of mercy
I tried my best and I can't help myself
I'm trapped again
I can't get out without losing you
I'm trapped again
Why can't you feel what I'm going through?
I'm trapped again
I need an answer, girl, can't you see?
I'm trapped again
Come and rescue me
Monday morning came so fast
What a fool to think that dreams would last
Close my eyes and it's still so clear
Remember the night, girl, the world disappeared
Can't let the hand of fate, let it drag me down
I can't get no angel of mercy
I came to stay but I got swept away
I'm trapped again
I can't get out without losing you
I'm trapped again
Why can't you feel what I'm going through?
I'm trapped again
I need an answer, girl, can't you see?
I'm trapped again
Come and rescue me
Can't let the hand of fate, let it drag me down
I can't get no angel of mercy
I came to stay but I got swept away
I'm trapped again
I can't get out without losing you
I'm trapped again
Why can't you feel what I'm going through?
I'm trapped again
I need an answer, girl, can't you see?
I'm trapped again
Come and rescue me

Why Is Love Such A Sacrifice
(B. Rush)
Here I am once again giving everything that I have
Wrapped up in a love and just getting out of the last
There's gotta be somebody who will always be there and pull you out
Love is a full time job that you can't live without
You take your faith and you put it in me
I open my heart, I give you the key
You build up trust by stripping down pride
To get to the truth, you got to clear the way
Why is love such a sacrifice?
Why is love such a sacrifice?
In the school of love, everyday there's a test
Is it better or worse or just the same as all the rest?
It can be so hot it can burn through your life
It's the only sure way through bad times and strife
It's no fun alone, so everybody wants it
The cost is high but you'll pay the price
Why is love such a sacrifice?
Why is love such a sacrifice?

Restless Heart
(B. Rush/J. Lyon)
She don't really know what she's looking for
When she goes out at night
But she feels there's a place somewhere
The lights shine twice as bright
She hopes that tonight things will turn out the way
That she thinks they should
But she knows deep down nothing could ever be that good
Whoa whoa whoa she's got a restless heart
Whoa whoa whoa she's got a restless, she's got a restless
Oh, she's got a restless heart
She tried all the boys in the neighborhood
They just let her down
So she tried all the girls who always used
To want to hang around
They said - whoa whoa whoa she's got a restless heart
Whoa whoa whoa she's got a restless, she's got a restless
Oh, she's got a restless heart
And in the night, she lays and cries herself to sleep
It isn't right, it isn't right
How could love
How could love
How could love
How could love
How could love
How could love
How could love
How could love
How could love
How could love
Be so cheap?
Someday, I know, she's gonna let me in and it'll be alright
I'm gonna give her what she needs and she's gonna sleep at night
Until that day I know a lot of pain's gonna come her way
There's more to life than just living and more to love than play
Whoa whoa whoa she's got a restless heart
Whoa whoa whoa she's got a restless, she's got a restless
Oh, she's got a restless heart
She's got a restless heart
She's got a restless heart
She's got a restless heart
She's got a restless heart
She's got a restless heart
She's got a restless heart

Vertigo
(B. Rush)
What is the force
Pulling me like gravity?
Into your world
I'm swirling inescapably
Tangling my tongue
When I try to speak
Caught up in confusion
Leaving me so weak
The earth below drags me down
I'm grabbing on to air
When I go to reach out
I don't like these heights
But you don't ever let me down
Will you girl
I want you so, I'm falling, falling vertigo
Won't you come closer
I feel secure when you're near
Don't take me so high
I cannot breath in this atmosphere
Hold me tight
I'm in the iron group of fear
Stay at my side
The drop is so sheer
You move in light years
And I can barely crawl
What seems like forever
Is no real time at all
If I look down, I know, I know I'm gonna fall
All the way, girl
I need you so, I'm falling, falling vertigo, vertigo
Every night
I'm hounded by this one dream
You speak
But I never know what the words mean
Until it's too late
And I feel my foot slip
Eyes shut tight
I know I'm in the grip
Then my fingers
One by one
Loosen their hold
Become undone
It pulls so hard
I must succumb
You know what it is
Round I go, spinning and whirling
Round I go, vision is blurring
Round I go, falling, falling
Vertigo
Vertigo

I Don't Want To Go Home
(S. Van Zandt)
Oh, I know that it's getting late
But I don't want to go home
I'm in no hurry baby time can wait
'Cause I don't want to go home
Listen to the man sing his song
I don't want to go home
I don't mind if it takes all night long
'Cause I don't want to go home
Listen, baby, I know we had to try
To reach up and touch the sky, baby
Whatever happened to you and I
That I don't want to go home?
Lord, look at how all the people stare
Said I don't want to go home
In their minds I know they've all been there
I don't want to go home
I know the words to this song are real
But, oh, I don't want to go home
I know he's talking 'bout the way I feel
And I don't want to go home
Listen, baby, I know we had to try
To reach up and touch the sky, baby
Whatever happened to you and I
That I don't want to go home?
I want to hear people laughing and having a good time
I want to know why she told me she had to go
Why did she leave me lonely?
I know that it's time to go
But I don't want to go home
You can play play your blues, play 'em soft and low
'Cause I don't want to go home
I know the words to this song are real
But, oh, I don't want to go home
I know he's talking 'bout the way I feel
And I don't want to go home
I don't want to go, believe me, darling
I don't want to go home
Don't wanna be all alone
I don't want to go home, baby
Ain't nobody waitin' at home
Baby, won't you please come home
Baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby
Baby, won't you please come home?

The Fever
(B. Springsteen)
When I get home from my job
I turn on my T.V.
But I can't keep my mind on the show
When I lay down at night
I can't get no sleep
So I turn on the radio
But, the only sound I hear
Is you whisperin' in my ear
The words that you used to say
Now my days grow longer
As my love grows stronger
And the fever gets worse and
I got a fever for a girl
I got the fever
Oh, I got the fever
There ain't nothing that a poor boy can do
When he's got the fever for a girl
I got the fever
Oh, I got the fever
Well, you left this little boy
I can remember comin' home
I see you standin' at the stove
With the dishes on the table
Dinner ready to go
Or maybe on out to a movie show
Something that you'd like to see
Oh, baby, you're my sun in the morning
And my moon at night
I think about you, baby
I feel alright
Days grow longer
As my love grows stronger
And the fever gets worse and
I've got the fever for the girl
I got the fever
Oh, I got the fever
There ain't nothing that a poor boy can do
When he's got the fever for a girl
Got the fever
Oh, I got the fever
Yea, you left this little boy blue
I can remember comin' home
I see you standin' at the stove
With the dishes on the table
Dinner ready to go
Or maybe on out to a movie show
Something that you'd like to see
Oh, baby, you're my sun in the morning
And my moon at night
I think about you, baby
I feel alright
Days grow longer
Love grows stronger
And the fever gets worse and
I've got the fever for the girl
I got the fever
Oh, I got the fever
There ain't nothing, there ain't nothin' I can do
When he's got the fever for a girl
Got the fever
Oh, I got the fever
Left this little boy blue, well
Sure left this little boy blue
There ain't nothin' I can do
Oh, I've got the fever, baby
Baby please come home
I don't wanna be alone
I got the fever for you, girl

Stagger Lee
(L. Price/H. Logan)
The night was clear and the moon was yellow
And the leaves came tumbling down
I was standing on the corner when I heard my bulldog bark
He was barkin' at the two men who were gamblin' in the dark
It was Stagger Lee and Billy, two men who gambled late
Stagger Lee threw seven, Billy swore that he threw eight
Stagger Lee told Billy, "I can't let you go with that"
"You have won all my money and my brand new stetson hat"
Stagger Lee started off goin' down that railroad track
He said "I can't get you Billy but don't be here when I come back"
Stagger Lee went home and he got his forty-four
Said "I'm goin' to the barroom just to pay that debt I owe"
Stagger Lee went to the barroom and he stood across the barroom door
He said "Nobody move" and he pulled his forty-four
Stagger Lee shot Billy, oh he shot that poor boy so bad
Till the bullet went through Billy and it broke the bartender's glass
Oh Stagger Lee
Oh Stagger Lee
Oh Stagger Lee
Oh Stagger Lee

Sam Cooke Medley:
Only Sixteen
(S. Cooke)
She was only sixteen
Only sixteen
Oh, I loved her so
But she was too young to fall in love
And I was too young to know
We'd laugh and we'd sing
And do little things
That makes our hearts glow
But she was too young to fall in love
And I was too young to know
So, why did I give my heart away?
It will never happen again
But I was a mere lad of sixteen
I've aged a year since then
Yes, I have

So listen, Mr. DJ
Keep those records playing
'Cause I'm having such a good time
Dancing with my baby
We're having a party
Dancing to the music

So listen, Mr. DJ
Keep those records playing
'Cause I'm having such a good time
Dancing with my baby
'Cause I'm having such a good time

Back In The USA
(C. Berry)
Oh well, oh well, I feel so good today,
We just touched down on an international runway
And it just feels good to be back in the U.S.A.
Did I miss the skyscrapers, did I miss the long freeway?
From the coast of California to the shores of Delaware Bay
You can bet your life I did, 'til I got back to the U.S.A.
Searchin' hard for a drive-in, looking for a corner café
Where hamburgers sizzle on an open grill night and day
And there's music on the jukebox like they play back in the U.S.A.
Well, I'm so glad I'm livin' in the U.S.A.
I'm so glad I'm livin' in the U.S.A.
Anything that you want, they got it in the U.S.A.
Well, I'm so glad I'm livin' in the U.S.A.
I'm so glad I'm livin' in the U.S.A.
Anything that you want, they got it in the U.S.A.
I'm so glad I'm livin' in the U.S.A.
(Right here in Pittsburgh)
I'm so glad I'm livin' in the U.S.A.
Said I'm so glad I'm livin' in the U.S.A.
I'm so glad I'm livin' in the U.S.A.
I'm so glad I'm livin' in the U.S.A.
Anything that you want, they got it in the U.S.A.
