1.Auntie's Municipal Court

作詞:Michael Nesmith

Fine man, crazy man, he can't see
Sound of the sunset, sound of the sea
Why do the people always look at me?
Nobody here can see that

We are you, we are you
She's him, too, she's him, too
Fine man, crazy man, he can't see
Sound of the sunset, sound of the sea

Solid brass statuary guards the door
Used to come as one, now it comes as four
Somebody here just sent for more
Red and yellow cartoons saying

'We need two, we need two
More than you, more than you'
Solid brass statuary guards the door
Used to come as one, now it comes as four

Somebody stole their mind
Somebody stole their mind
They way they can't find
What is kind, what is kind

Somebody stole their mind
Somebody stole their mind
They way they can't find
What is kind, what is kind

Fine man, crazy man, he can't see
Sound of the sunset, sound of the sea
Why do the people always look at me?
Nobody here wants to see that

We are you, we are you
She's him, too, she's him, too
Fine man, crazy man, he can't see
Sound of the sunset, sound of the sea
Sound of the sunset, sound of the sea


2.Daydream Believer

作詞:John Stewart

Oh, I could hide 'neath the wings of the bluebird as she sings
The six o'clock alarm would never ring
But it rings and I rise wipe the sleep out of my eyes
The shavin' razor's cold, and it stings

Cheer up, sleepy Jean, oh what can it mean
To a daydream believer and a homecoming queen?

You once thought of me as a white knight on his steed
Now you know how happy I can be
Oh, and our good times start and end without dollar one to spend
But how much baby do we really need?

Cheer up, sleepy Jean, oh what can it mean
To a daydream believer and a homecoming queen?
Cheer up, sleepy Jean, oh what can it mean
To a daydream believer and a homecoming queen?

Cheer up, sleepy Jean, oh what can it mean
To a daydream believer and a homecoming queen?
Cheer up, sleepy Jean, oh what can it mean
To a daydream believer and a homecoming queen?

Cheer up, sleepy Jean, oh what can it mean
To a daydream believer and a homecoming queen?


3.Dream World

作詞:David Jones, Steven Pitts

Walking around with your head in the clouds
You don't care
Why must you walk when you know
You're not going anywhere?

Why don't you come out of your dream world?
It's not real
It's not the way it seems to be
Why don't you come into the real world?
Come with me
We'll share our thoughts, forget the dreams
You'll see

Always pretendin' that everything's fine
When it's not
Oh, why do you lie when you know that
You'll aways get caught?

Why don't you come out of your dream world?
It's not real
It's not the way it seems to be
Why don't you come into the real world?
Come with me
We'll share our thoughts, forget the dreams
You'll see

Why don't you come out of your dream world?
It's not real
It's not the way it seems to be
Why don't you come into the real world?
Come with me
We'll share our thoughts, forget the dreams
You'll see
You'll see
You'll see


4.Magnolia Simms

作詞:Michael Nesmith, Charles Rocket

One, two, three
Ya, it's one of those days

Love to me is blue-eyed and blonde
Oh, that's sweet Magnolia
Apple pie on the window still warm
That's my sweet Magnolia

Walking under a sky that's so blue
After rain has fallen
When she's walking so close by my side
My troubles seem to just run and hide

Well, walking under a sky that's so blue, yeah
After rain has fallen
When she's walking so close by my side
My troubles seem to just run and hide

Magnolia Simms is my little doll
I can't live without her
For if she goes my world will just fall
Stay with me, Magnolia

Stay with me, Magnolia


5.P.O. Box 9847

Handsome, single, young man, well respected in his town
Seeks a fine, young lady from a similar background

I've described me very poorly
Better try again

Quiet, sincere, gentleman, well rounded and mature
Fond of music and the arts, loves the theater
Educated, sensitive, a traveler of the world
Wants to meet an eligible young girl

I've been writing, advertising
That's not really me

Lonely, understanding man, affectionate and true
Looking for girl to share his dreams and make them true
Humble, loving, sensitive, considerate and shy
Only sincere ladies need reply

6.Tapioca Tundra

作詞:Michael Nesmith

Reasoned verse, some prose or rhyme
Lose themselves in other times
And waiting hopes cast silent spells
That speak in clouded clues

It cannot be a part of me
For now it's part of you

Careful plays on fields
That seems to vanish when they're in between
And softly as I walk away
In freshly tattered shoes

It cannot be a part of me
For now it's part of you

Sunshine, ragtime
Blowing in the breeze
Midnight, looks right
Standing more at ease

Silhouettes and figures stay
Close to what he had to say
And one more time the faded dream
Is saddened by the news

It cannot be a part of me
For now it's part of you

Well, sunshine, ragtime
Blowing in the breeze
Midnight, looks right
Standing more at ease

Sunshine, ragtime
Blowing in the breeze
Midnight, looks right
Standing more at ease

Silhouettes and figures stay
Close to what he had to say
And one more time the faded dream
Is saddened by the news

It cannot be a part of me
For now it's part of you


7.The Poster

作詞:David Thomas Jones, Steve Pitts

'The circus is coming to town' it said on the poster
'Get your tickets now, before it's too late'
A dancing bear and a circus clown, it's so funny
Oh, I can't wait to see everythin' there

I feel like I'm already there
I must see her fly through the air

Horses running round and round in a circle
I can't wait to see everythin' there
I wonder if it's just like they say on the poster
If it is I know I will be there

I feel like I'm already there
I must see her fly through the air

I feel like I'm already there
I must see her fly through the air


8.Valleri

作詞:Tommy Boyce, Bobby Hart

Valleri, I love my Valleri

There's a girl I know who makes me feel so good
And I wouldn't live without her, even if I could
They call her 'Valleri', I love my Valleri

Oh yeah, come on

She's the same little girl who used to hang around my door
But she sure looks different than the way she looked before
I call her 'Valleri', I love my Valleri

Valleri, I love my Valleri
I love my Valleri, I need you, Valleri


9.We Were Made for Each Other

作詞:George Fischoff, Carole Bayer Sager

I wanted you from the first day I saw you
The first day I looked into your eyes
That's when I knew that I would adore you
It was no surprise

We were made for each other
As the stars were made for the sky
We were made for each other
No other love have I

You took my hand, was then you had known it?
Was that when you started loving me?
Was it the way I smiled that had shown it?
Was that the day you could see?

We were made for each other
As the stars were made for the sky
We were made for each other
No other love have I

We were made for each other
As the stars were made for the sky
We were made for each other
No other love have I


10.Writing Wrongs

作詞:Michael Nesmith

Did you know the water's turning yellow?
Have you heard the sky was falling down?
Did you see that guy fall out the window?
Did you know the circus was in town?

Have you heard about Bill Chamber's mother?
She said a woman's work is never done
And, oh yes, about that yellow water
Have you noticed the color of the sun?

You have a way of making everything
You say seem unreal
Are you aware that the people who care
Are mostly stainless steel?

Well, I hope you finally got my letter
It should have come about this time last year
And I hope Bill Chamber's mother's better
Oh dear, the moon just disappeared

You have a way of making everything
You say seem unreal
Are you aware that the people who care
Are mostly stainless steel?


11.Zor and Zam

作詞:Bill Chadwick, John Chadwick

The King of Zor, he called for war
And the King of Zam, he answered
The fashioned their weapons
One upon one, ton upon ton
They called for war at the rise of the sun

Out went the call, to one and to all
That echoed and rolled like the thunder
Trumpets and drums
More upon more, war upon war
Rolling the call of come out to war

Throughout the night, they fashioned their might
With right on the side of the mighty
They puzzled their minds
Plan upon plan, man upon man
In the dying of dawn the great war began

The met on the battlefield, banner in hand
They looked out across the vacant land
And the counted the missing
One upon one, none upon none
The war, it was over before it began

Two little kings playing a game
They gave a war and nobody came
And nobody came and nobody came
And nobody came, nobody came
Nobody


12.I'll Be Back Up On My Feet

作詞:Sandy Linzer, Denny Randell

Girl, I know the grass is greener just around the bend
Gotta say, 'goodbye' but don't you fear
Though the road is broken, I might fail to find the end
I won't disappear

I'll be back upon my feet, I'll be back upon my feet
Chase the moon and sun to find my one and only you
I'll be back upon my feet, I'll be back upon my feet
Lookin' high, I'm lookin' low
When I find my boots, I know I gotta go

Maybe, I will be a star or maybe just a clown
Girl, I'll never know until I try
Maybe, I will meet a girl who'll try to keep me down
But you won't have to cry

I'll be back upon my feet, I'll be back upon my feet
Chase the moon and sun to find my one and only you
I'll be back upon my feet, I'll be back upon my feet
Lookin' high, I'm lookin' low
When I find my boots, I know I've gotta go

Maybe, I will meet a girl who'll try to keep me down
But you won't have to cry

I'll be back upon my feet, I'll be back upon my feet
Chase the moon and sun to find my one and only you
I'll be back upon my feet. I'll be back upon my feet
Lookin' high, I'm lookin' low
When I find my boots, I know I've gotta go
