1.Undone

She's come undone
She didn't know what she was headed for
And when I found what she was headed for
It was too late

She's come undone
She found a mountain that was far too high
And when she found out she couldn't fly
It was too late

It's too late
She's gone too far
She's lost the sun
She's come undone
She wanted truth but all she got was lies
Came the time to realize
And it was too late

She's come undone
She didn't know what she was headed for
And when I found what she was headed for
Mama, it was too late

It's too late
She's gone too far
She's lost the sun
She's come undone

Too many mountains, and not enough stairs to climb
Too many churches and not enough truth
Too many people and not enough eyes to see
Too many lives to lead and not enough time

It's too late
She's gone too far
She's lost the sun
She's come undone
(Doe-doe-doe-doe-doe doe un doe-doe-doe un doe-doe-doe)
(Doe doe-doe-doe-doe un doe-doe-doe doe-doe-doe)
(Doe doe-doe-doe doe doe-doe-doe doe doe)


It's too late
She's gone too far
She's lost the sun
She's come undone
She didn't know what she was headed for
And when I found what she was headed for
It was too late

She's come undone
She found a mountain that was far too high
And when she found out she couldn't fly
Mama, it was too late

It's too late
She's gone too far
She's lost the sun
She's come undone
(No no-no-no-no-no no)
(Doe doe doe-doe)


2.Albert Flasher

作詞:Burton Cummings

I was a workshop owner in the gulch for the people
And I offered myself to the world
I was a workshop owner
I was a workshop owner

I was a diesel fixer, fixed a diesel
Diesel fixed me, what a weasel?
And baby was a workshop owner
Baby was a workshop owner

Baby and me were ripe for the pickin'
That was the day we ran into Albert Flasher

It was a cold, snowy, rainy afternoon
And we were sittin' there in high school, my school
And Michael was a moonbeam maker
And Michael was a moonbeam maker

I was a diesel fixer, fixed a diesel
Diesel fixed me, what a weasel? Oh no
Baby was a workshop owner
Baby was a workshop owner

Baby and me were ripe for the pickin'
That was the day we ran into Albert Flasher

I was a workshop owner in the gulch for the people
And I offered myself to the world
I was a workshop owner
I was a workshop owner
I was a workshop owner

4.Broken

作詞:Burton Cummings, Kurt Winter

Take the spell away and turn me back into a man
An' give me credit, ya know I'm doin' all I can

Grab onto somethin' that you think you can hold
Grab onto somethin' 'cause you're growin' old
Yes, I've been broken too
Yes, I've been broken too
Just like you

So bring your soul to me and leave it here for just a while
Show the end to me, see if I can fake a smile

Grab onto somethin' that you think you can hold
Grab onto somethin' 'cause you're growin' old
Yes, I've been broken too
Yes, I've been broken too
Just like you

I don't have to fear, nobody else is here
Don't have to see, I know what I wanna be
Don't have to make an explanation to you
It's true, the deeper the drillin' goes
Shows how much the best of the better knows
That's why the bird with the broken wing never flew
And I've been broken too
Just like you

Grab onto somethin' that you think you can hold
Grab onto somethin' 'cause you're growin' old
Yes, I've been broken too
Yes, I've been broken too
Just like you
So bring your soul to me


5.Bus Rider

作詞:Kurt Winter

Get up in the mornin', get on the bus
Get up in the mornin', like the rest of us
Places to go, important people to meet
Better not get up or you might lose your seat

Bus rider

Leave the house at six o'clock to be on time
Leave the wife and kids at home to make a dime
Grab your lunch pail, check for mail in your slot
You won't get your cheque if you don't punch the clock

Bus rider

Bus rider

Grab the evenin' paper and sit down in your chair
Grab yourself a toupee, 'cause you're losin' your hair
Doesn't matter what you do, you've nothin' to lose
I'm so awful, goddamn glad I'm not in your shoes

Bus rider

Bus rider
(You know you'll ride it every single mornin' today)
Bus rider
(Ride, ride, little man)
Bus rider
(I don't wanna ride, no I don't wanna ride)
Bus rider

Bus rider
(Oh, little man ridin' upside down, yeah)
Bus rider


6.Clap for the Wolfman

作詞:Burton Cummings, Bill Wallace, Kurt Winter

Clap for the Wolfman, he gon' rate your record high
Clap for the Wolfman, you gon' dig him till the day you die
Clap for the Wolfman, he gon' rate your record high
Clap for the Wolfman, you gon' dig him till the day you die

'Doo Ron Ron' and the 'Duke of Earl' they were friends of mine
I was on my moonlight drive
Snuggled in, said, 'Baby just one kiss', she said, 'No, no, no'
Romance ain't keepin' me alive

Said, 'Hey babe, you wanna coo, coo, coo?', she said, 'Ahh, ahh,
ahh'
So I was left out in the cold
I said, 'You're what I've been dreamin' of'
She said, 'I don't want to know'

Clap for the Wolfman, he gon' rate your record high
Clap for the Wolfman, you gon' dig him till the day you die

Seventy-five or eighty miles an hour she hollered, 'Slow, slow,
slow'
Baby, I can stop right on a dime
Said, 'Hey baby, gimme just one kiss', she said, 'No, no, no'
But how was I to bide my time?

Said, 'Hey babe, you wanna coo, coo, coo?', she said, 'Ahh, ahh,
ahh'
Said, 'I'm about to overload'
I said, 'You're what I been living for'
She said, 'I don't want to know'

Clap for the Wolfman, he gon' rate your record high
Clap for the Wolfman, you gon' dig him till the day you die
Clap for the Wolfman, he gon' rate your record high
Clap for the Wolfman, you gon' dig him till the day you die

Clap for the Wolfman
Clap for the Wolfman
Clap for the Wolfman

7.Sour Suite

作詞:Burton Cummings

Don't wanna listen to my telephone ring
Or sing ding-a-ling or talk about a thing
Not this morning
Don't wanna think about the night before
Or maybe it's a bore behind an open door
I got no time for that this morning

If I had the mind or I had the time
Maybe I could throw together a new kind of rhyme
And tell about my warning
But it's too late now
It's too late now
It's too late now

I don't wanna think about a runaway dad
That took away the only thing that I never had
Don't even miss him this morning
I don't wanna think about a cold goodbye
Or a high school buddy got a little too high
I can't help him out this morning

Reviewers laugh at me so I go out to sea
And perhaps it's just as well 'cause I'd rather be in hell
Than be a wealthy man this morning
But it's too late now
It's too late now
It's too late now

Whatever happened to images 'cause now they're gone
Worn-out phrases just keep a hangin' on
Whatever happened to homes as opposed to houses
The conversation sinks as the evening drowses
It's just like 46201
It's just like 46201

Whatever happened to early morning open skies
Broken faces, half with melting eyes
Enough of riddles that just play with time
'Cause I'm still here and I can't beg a dime
I'm back here in 46201
I'm back here in 46201

Something better's waiting for me around the corner now
I got to find it and try and hang on for a little while
I'm back here in 46201, yeah
There's gotta be a few small changes made

Don't wanna listen to my telephone ring
Or sing ding-a-ling or talk about a thing
Leave me alone this morning


8.Dancin' Fool

作詞:Burton Cummings, Domenic Troiano

It was a Saturday night without a whole lot shakin'
Ooh my ooh my, I was bored
I had my best duds on, it was a chance worth takin'
Somehow I was still ignored

Been too long since I been shy and lonely
Ooh, but that's okay
Need some gal to be my one and only
Ooh

I got a wink and a smile from a flashy filly
Ooh my ooh my, she looked grand
She said, 'I like your style, now don't go acting silly'
Ooh my ooh, she grabbed my hand

Never thought that I could shake and groove it
Now I'm a dancin' fool
Dug my feet 'cause they could really move it
Ooh

She got the message across and me and her got kissin'
Ooh my ooh my, havin' fun
I know that this is the thing that I've been really missin'
One more dance has just begun

No more time for feelin' shy and lonely
Now I'm a dancin' fool
Found some gal to be my one and only
Ooh, I'm a dancin' fool

Been too long since I been shy and lonely
Now I'm a dancin' fool
I'm a dancin' fool, I'm a dancer

Been too long since I been shy and lonely
Now I'm a dancin' fool
I'm a dancin' fool, I'm a dancer

Been too long, been too long
Now I'm a dancin' fool

Been too long since I been shy and lonely
Now I'm a dancin' fool


9.Do You Miss Me Darlin'?

作詞:Burton Cummings, Kurt Winter

What good is it
If I can't even sing it to you?
What good is it if I can't even come out
And sing it to you right now?

'Cause talkin' won't do it
And walkin' won't rush it along
'Cause talkin' won't do it

12.Guns, Guns, Guns

作詞:Burton Cummings

American hunter, bring â€~em up the north side
Guns, guns, guns
Run, take the money, here's a bullet for your boyfriend
Guns, guns, guns

Eagle all gone, and no more caribou
Guns, guns, guns
You be the red king, I'll be the yellow pawn

God, speed, mother nature
Never really wanted to say goodbye

Shoot a few, knock â€~em down, cost you half a buck now
Guns, guns, guns
Babe give you kisses if you hit a rubber duck now
Guns, guns, guns

You be the red king, I'll be the yellow pawn
Guns, guns, guns
Eagle all gone, and no more caribou

God, speed, mother nature
Never really wanted to say goodbye


13.Hand Me Down World

作詞:Kurt Winter

Anybody here see the noise
See the fear and commotion?
I think we missed it
Anybody here see the love
See the hate, being motioned?

Don't give me no hand me down shoes
Don't give me no hand me down love
Don't give me no hand me down world
Got one already

Anybody here see the long distance cheer
For the notion? I think we missed it
Anybody here see
The sky weeping tears, for the ocean?

Don't give me no hand me down shoes
Don't give me no hand me down love
Don't give me no hand me down world
Got one already

Anybody here see the fuzzy-wuzzly
Loving cup explosion? I think we missed it
Anybody here see the changing
Of the year-end emotion?

Don't give me no hand me down shoes
Don't give me no hand me down love
Don't give me no hand me down world
Got one already

Don't give me no hand me down world
Don't give me no hand me down world
Don't give me no hand me down world

14.Hang On to Your Life

作詞:Burton Cummings, Kurt Winter

Thinkin' 'bout the people gone by
Screamin' that I don't wanna die
Well, you can push your head
But don't you push it too far

Thinkin' 'bout it's here and it's real
Wonderin' how I really should feel
Well, you can sell your soul
But don't you sell it too cheap

Hang on to your life, life, life, life, life
Hang on to your life

Thinkin' 'bout betraying a friend
Thinkin' 'bout delaying the end
You can ride the wind
But don't you ride it too high

Hang on to your life
Hang on to your life

Hang on to your life, life, life, life, life
Hang on to your life

Hang on to your life, life, life, life, life
Hang on to your life

Hang on to your life, life, life, life, life
Hang on to your life

Hang on to your life, life, life, life, life
Hang on to your life

Hang on to your life

{They gaped upon me with their mouths
As a ravening and a roaring lion
I am poured out like water
And all my bones are out of joints}

{My heart is like wax
It is melted in the midst of my bowels
My strength is dried up like a potsherd
And my tongue cleaveth to my jaws
And thou hast brought me into the dust of death}


15.Heartbroken Bopper

作詞:Burton Cummings, Kurt Winter

Night school strutter just struttin' around
He can't find work since the band left town
He can't get up 'cause he can't get down

He's a heartbroken bopper

Honor roll student graduation day
Summa Cum Laude is a big okay
The car wash king is havin' beans today

He's a heartbroken bopper
Oh, he's a heartbroken bopper

Rise from the gutters, there's too much has gone to waste
Rise with the others, there's too much is done in haste

He's a heartbroken bopper
Oh, he's a heartbroken bopper
Oh, you're struttin' with a heartbroken bopper
Oh, you're movin' with a heartbroken bopper

Oh, you're shuckin', heartbroken bopper
Oh, you're dancin', heartbroken bopper
Oh, you're movin', heartbroken bopper
You're rockin' with a heartbroken bopper

Makin' it, heart broken bopper
You've seen better days, heart broken bopper
Seen better days, heartbroken bopper


16.Laughing

作詞:Randy Bachman, Burton Cummings

I should laugh but I cry
Because your love has passed me by
You took me by surprise
You didn't realize that I was waiting

Time goes slowly but carries on
And now the best years have come and gone
You took me by surprise
I didn't realize that you were laughing

(Laughing)
â€~Cause you're doin' it to me
(Laughing)
It ain't the way it should be
You took away everything I had
You put the hurt on me

(Laughing)
â€~Cause you're doin' it to me
(Laughing)
It ain't the way it should be
You took away everything I had
You put the hurt on me

I'd go alone now calling your name
After losing at the game
You took me by surprise
I didn't realize that you were laughing

Time goes slowly but carries on
And now the best years, the best years have come and gone
You took me by surprise
I didn't realize that you were laughing

(Laughing)
â€~Cause you're doin' it to me
(Laughing)
It ain't the way it should be
You took away everything I had
You put the hurt on me

(Laughing)
â€~Cause you're doin' it to me
(Laughing)
What you're doin' to me
You took away everything I had
You put the hurt on me

(Laughing)
Ha, ha, ha
(Laughing)

Were you laughing at me?
(Laughing)
Were you laughing at me?
(Laughing)

17.Life in the Bloodstream

作詞:Burton Cummings

You don't believe that this whole universe
Could be inside your little sister's purse
You don't believe you're just a living glob
Like Lucy, Freddy, Ricky, Frank and Bob

We're life in the bloodstream, baby
That's the natural progression
We're life in the bloodstream
I hope the little boy don't fall and skin his knee

Ain't it hard when you discover
Your energy has to leave you for another
Don't it make you wanna lay down and cry
When they tell you it's time you have to die

We're life in the bloodstream, baby
That's the natural progression
We're life in the bloodstream
I hope the little boy don't fall and skin his knee

We're life in the bloodstream, baby
That's the natural progression
We're life in the bloodstream
I hope the little boy don't fall and skin his knee


18.No Sugar Tonight / New Mother Nature

{'No Sugar Tonight'}
Lonely feelin' deep inside
Find a corner where I can hide
Silent footsteps crowdin' me
Sudden darkness, but I can see

No sugar tonight in my coffee
No sugar tonight in my tea
No sugar to stand beside me
No sugar to run with me

Da-un-do-dow dow da-un-do-dow
Da-un-do-dow dow no no
Da-un-do-dow dow da-un-do-dow
Da-un-do-dow dow

In the silence of her mind
Quiet movements, well, I can find
Grabbin' for me with her eyes
Now I'm fallin' from her skies

No sugar tonight in my coffee
No sugar tonight in my tea
No sugar to stand beside me
No sugar to run with me

Da-un-do-dow dow un-dow-dow

{'New Mother Nature'}
Jocko says yes and I believe him
When we talk about the things I say
She hasn't got the faith or the guts to leave him
When they're standin' in each other's way
You're driven back now to places you've been to
You're wonderin' what you're gonna find
You know you've been wrong but it won't be long
Before you leave 'em all far behind

'Cause it's the new Mother Nature takin' over
It's the new splendid lady come to call
It's the new Mother Nature takin' over
She's gettin' us all
She's gettin' us all

Jocko said no when I came back last time
It's lookin' like I lost a friend
No use callin' 'cause the sky is fallin'
And I'm gettin' pretty near the end
A smoke-filled room in a corner basement
The situation must be right
A bag o' goodies and a bottle o' wine
We're gonna get it on right tonight

'Cause it's the new Mother Nature takin' over
It's the new splendid lady come to call
It's the new Mother Nature takin' over
She's gettin' us all
She's gettin' us all

{1st verse of 'No Sugar Tonight' sung simultaneously with
1st verse of 'New Mother Nature'}
Lonely feelin'
Jocko says yes and I believe him
Deep inside
When we talk about the things I say
Find a corner
She hasn't got the faith or the guts to leave him
Where I can hide
When they're standin' in each other's way
Silent footsteps
You're driven back now to places you've been to
Crowdin' me
You're wonderin' what you're gonna find
Sudden darkness
You know you've been wrong and it won't be long
But I can see
Before you leave 'em all far behind

'Cause it's the new Mother Nature takin' over
It's the new splendid lady come to call
It's the new Mother Nature takin' over
She's gettin' us all
She's gettin' us all

19.No Time

作詞:Randy Bachman, Burton Cummings

(No time left for you)
On my way to better things
(No time left for you)
I'll find myself some wings
(No time left for you)
Distant roads are calling me
(No time left for you)

No time for a summer friend
No time for the love you send
Seasons change and so did I

You need not wonder why
You need not wonder why
There's no time left for you
No time left for you

(No time left for you)
On my way to better things
(No time left for you)
I'll find myself some wings
(No time left for you)
Distant roads are calling me
(No time left for you)

No time for a gentle rain
No time for my watch and chain
No time for revolving doors

No time for the killing floor
No time for the killing floor
There's no time left for you
No time left for you

No time for a summer friend
No time for the love you send
Seasons change and so did I

You need not wonder why
You need not wonder why
There's no time left for you
No time left for you

No time, no time, no time, no time
No time, no time, no time, no time

I got, got, got, got no time
I got, got, got, got no time
I got, got, got, got no time

No, no, no, no, no, no, no time
No, no, no, no, no, no, no time
I got, got, got, got no time
No no no no no, no no no no no
No no no, no no no, got no time

I got no time, got no time
Got no time, got no time
Got no time, got no time
Got no time


20.Orly

作詞:Burton Cummings

Well, if you've ever been to Paris and you've ever missed a
plane
Nothin' much to do but sit around
Drink a little, yawn a couple, laugh at where you come from
Have another glass of Paris brown

I'm unknown and they're still jivin'
He plugged himself in, left her screaming

Planes are goin' up, planes are comin' down
Bells around here are 'bout enough to drive a poor boy mad
Planes are goin' up, planes are comin' down
Better get to Rome and have a look at younger sister of my dad

Well, the mission was accomplished on the day that you arrived
Maria hung you out and let you dry
You never understood the language lesson that she gave you
Caught it in reflections of her eye

I'm unknown and they're still jivin'
He plugged himself in, left her droolin'

Planes are goin' up, planes are comin' down
Bells around here are 'bout enough to drive a poor boy mad
Planes are goin' up, planes are comin' down
Better get to Rome and have a look at younger sister of my dad

作詞:Burton Cummings, Kurt Winter

Don't you wanna rain dance with me?
Don't you wanna rain dance with me?

Fifi said to Don, the baker
Can you show me how to bake another bun, Don,
And I'm still sittin' with my next door neighbour sayin'
‽Where'd you get the gun, John?”

Don't you wanna rain dance with me?
Don't you wanna rain dance with me?
Don't you wanna rain dance with me?
Don't you wanna rain dance with me?

Christopher was askin' the astronomer
Can your telescope tell me where the sun's gone?
And I'm still sittin' with my next door neighbour sayin'
‽Where'd you get the gun, John?”

Don't you wanna rain dance with me?
Don't you wanna rain dance with me?
Don't you wanna rain dance with me?
Don't you wanna rain dance with me?

Changin' just a few things
Laughin' while the bell rings on the go
Changin' just a few things
Shootin' when the bird sings

Changin' just a few things
Laughin' while the bell rings on the go
Changin' just a few things
Shootin' when the bird sings

Don't you wanna rain dance with me?
Don't you wanna rain dance with me?
Don't you wanna rain dance with me?

23.Shakin' All Over

作詞:Johnny Kidd

When you move in right up close to me
That's when I get the chills all over me

Quivers down my backbone
I got the shakes in my thigh bone
I got the shivers in my knee bone
Shakin' all over

Just the way you say goodnight to me
Brings the feelin' on inside of me

Quivers down my backbone
I got the shakes in my thigh bone
I got the shivers in my knee bone
Shakin' all over

Quivers down my backbone
I got the shakes in my thigh bone
I got the shivers in my knee bone
Shakin' all over

24.Share the Land

作詞:Burton Cummings

Have you been around, have you done your share of coming down
On different things that people do?
Have you been aware, you got brothers and sisters who care
About what's gonna happen to you in a year from now?

Maybe I'll be there to shake your hand
Maybe I'll be there to share the land
That they'll be giving away when we all live together
I'm talking about together now

Maybe I'll be there to shake your hand
Maybe I'll be there to share the land
That they'll be giving away when we all live together
I'm talking about together now

Did you pay your dues, did you read the news
This morning when the paper landed in your yard?
Do you know their names, can you play their games
Without losing track and coming down a bit too hard?

Oh maybe I'll be there to shake your hand
Maybe I'll be there to share the land
That they'll be giving away when we all live together
I'm talking about together now

Maybe I'll be there to shake your hand
Maybe I'll be there to share the land
That they'll be giving away when we all live together
I'm talking about together now

Maybe I'll be there to shake your hand
Maybe I'll be there to share the land
That they'll be giving away when we all live together
I'm talking about together now

Maybe I'll be there to shake your hand
Maybe I'll be there to share the land
That they'll be giving away when we all live together
Together, together

You know I'll be standin' by to help you if you're worried
No more sadness, no more sorrow and no more bad times
Every day coming sunshine, everyday, everybody laughin'
Walkin' together by the river, walkin' together and laughin'

Everybody singing together, everybody singing and laughing
Good times, good times, everybody walkin' by the river now
Walking, singing, talking, smiling, laughing


25.Star Baby

作詞:Burton Cummings

Well I've never been much for admitting things
That's why it's all so hard to say
That I'm head over heels
In love with your kind of insanity

And if it please your highness
On a sunny day sometime
Can I take your picture in the park
With silk and satin on?

Star baby, flashy little shiny little two-timin' mama
Singin' star baby, shiny little flashy little lovin' machine

I never been much good at keepin' a secret
Now it's easy for me to say
That I'm head over heels
Shook up about the way that you fool with me

And if it please your highness
On a sunny day sometime
Can you take me ridin' babe?
I'll tell you what I'm thinkin' 'bout you

Star baby, flashy little shiny little two-timin' mama
Singin' star baby, flashy little shiny little lovin' machine

Well I saw you last night on a Hollywood show
And now it's easy for me to say
That I'm head over heels
Shook up about the way that you sang to me

And if it please your highness
On a sunny day sometime
Can you take me drivin'
Baby, kissin' in your Cadillac?

Star baby, flashy little shiny little two-timin' mama
Singin' star baby, flashy little shiny little lovin' machine

I want you, star baby
I know that you wanna love me
Star baby, flashy little shiny little lovin' machine
I want you, star baby
Come on now, I know that you wanna love me
Star baby, come on you flashy little lovin' machine
I want you, star baby
Flashy little shiny little lovin' machine

作詞:Randy Bachman, Burton Cummings

These eyes cry every night for you, these arms long to hold you
again
The hurtin's on me, yeah, but I will never be free, no, my baby,

27.No Sugar Tonight/New Mother Nature

作詞:Randy Bachman, Burton Cummings

Lonely feeling deep inside
Find a corner where I can hide
Silent footsteps crowding me
Sudden darkness but I can see

No sugar tonight in my coffee
No sugar tonight in my tea
No sugar to stand beside me
No sugar to run with me

Dat'n-doo-dow-dow-dat'n-doo-dow
Dat'n-doo-dow-dow-dat'n-doo-dow
Dat'n-doo-dow-dow-dat'n-doo-dow

In the silence of her mind
Quiet movements where I can find
Grabbing for me with her eyes
Now I'm falling from her skies

No sugar tonight in my coffee
No sugar tonight in my tea
No sugar to stand beside me
No sugar to run with me

Dat'n-doo-dow-dow-dat'n-doo-dow
Dat'n-doo-dow-dow-dat'n-doo-dow
Dat'n-doo-dow-dow-dat'n-doo-dow
Dat'n-doo-dow-dow-dat'n

Jocko says,'Yes' and I believe him
When we talk about the things I say
She hasn't got the faith or the guts to leave him
When they're standing in each other's way

You're tripping back now to places you've been to
You wonder what you're gonna find
You know you've been wrong, but it won't be long
Before you leave â€~em all far behind

â€~Cause it's the new Mother Nature taking over
It's the new splendid lady come to call
It's the new Mother Nature taking over
She's gettin' us all, she's gettin' us all

Jocko said, 'No' when I came back last time
It's looking like I lost a friend
No use callin' â€~cause the sky is fallin'
And I'm getting pretty near the end

A smoke filled room in a corner basement
The situation must be right
A bag of goodies and a bottle of wine
We're gonna get it on right tonight

â€~Cause it's the new Mother Nature taking over
It's the new splendid lady come to call
It's the new Mother Nature taking over
She's gettin' us all, she's getting us all

Jocko says, 'Yes' and I believe him
When we talk about the things I say
She hasn't got the faith or the guts to leave him
When they're standing in each other's way

You're tripping back now to places you've been to
You wonder what you're gonna find
You know you've been wrong but it won't be long
Before you leave â€~em all far behind

â€~Cause it's the new Mother Nature taking over
It's the new splendid lady come to call
It's the new Mother Nature taking over
She's gettin' us all, she's gettin' us all

Dat'n-doo-dow-dow-dat'n-doo-dow
Dat'n-doo-dow-dow-dat'n-doo-dow
Dat'n-doo-dow-dow-dat'n-doo-dow
Dat'n-doo-dow-dow-dat'n-doo-dow


28.Undun

作詞:Randy Bachman

She's come undun
She didn't know what she was headed for
And when I found what she was headed for
It was too late

She's come undun
She found a mountain that was far too high
And when she found out she couldn't fly
It was too late

It's too late
She's gone too far
She's lost the sun

She's come undun
She wanted truth but all she got was lies
Came the time to realize
And it was too late

She's come undun
She didn't know what she was headed for
And when I found what she was headed for
Mama, it was too late

It's too late
She's gone too far
She's lost the sun
She's come undun

Too many mountains and not enough stairs to climb
Too many churches and not enough truth
Too many people and not enough eyes to see
Too many lives to lead and not enough time

It's too late
She's gone too far
She's lost the sun
She's come undun

Doe, doe, doe

It's too late
She's gone too far
She's lost the sun

She's come undun
She didn't know what she was headed for
And when I found what she was headed for
It was too late

She's come undun
She found a mountain that was far too high
And when she found out she couldn't fly
Mama, it was too late

It's too late
She's gone too far
She's lost the sun

She's come undun
No no, no, no, no, no, no
Doe, doe, doe, doe


29.God Speed

God speed mother nature, I never really wanted to say goodbye.


30.Of A Dropping Pin

作詞:Randy Bachman, Burton Cummings

Can I be somewhere when I'm nowhere
Gaze through a diabetic eye
Can I put down the right to be put down
And never known the right to try
I'd leave and take my pride with me
And find something I could carry it in
But all that breaks the stillness here
Is the sound of a dropping pin

From the silence
Deep within
Comes the sound
The sound of a dropping pin

From the silence
Deep within
Yeah, deep deep within
Comes the sound
The sound of a dropping pin

Can I be something when I'm nothing
Build my hopes and dreams too high
I've searched too long for all the answers
Let alone the right to try
To think that you can take it with you
Is the one unforgiveable sin
But all that breaks the stillness now
Is the sound of a dropping pin

From the silence
Deep within
Comes the sound
The sound of a dropping pin

From the silence
Deep within
Yeah, deep deep within
Comes the sound
The sound of a dropping pin


31.No Sugur Tonight/New Mother Nature

作詞:Randy Bachman, Burton Cummings

Lonely feelin' deep inside
Find a corner where I can hide
Silent footsteps crowdin' me
Sudden darkness, but I can see

No sugar to run with me

Da-un-do-dow dow da-un-do-dow
Da-un-do-dow dow no no
Da-un-do-dow dow da-un-do-dow
Da-un-do-dow dow

In the silence of her mind

No sugar tonight in my coffee
No sugar tonight in my tea
No sugar to stand beside me
No sugar to run with me

Da-un-do-dow dow da-un-do-dow

Jocko says yes and I believe him
When we talk about the things I say
She hasn't got the faith or the guts to leave him
When they're standin' in each other's way
You're driven back now to places you've been to
You're wonderin' what you're gonna find
You know you've been wrong but it won't be long
Before you leave 'em all far behind

'Cause it's the new Mother Nature takin' over
It's the new splendid lady come to call

32.I'm In The Mood For Love

作詞:Dorothy Fields, Jimmy Mchugh

Lovely interlude, most romantic mood
And your attitude is right, dear sweetheart
You have me under a spell, now my dream is real
That is why I feel such a strong appeal tonight

Somehow all my reason takes flight, dear
I'm in the mood for love
Simply because you're near me
Funny but when you're near me I'm in the mood for love

Heaven is in your eyes, bright as the stars we're under
Oh, is it any wonder I'm in the mood for love?
Why stop to think of whether this little dream might fade?
We've put our hearts together, now we are one

I'm not afraid if there's a cloud above
If it should rain, we'll let it
But for tonight, forget it, I'm in the mood for love

Why stop to think of whether this little dream might fade?
We've put our hearts together, now we are one

I'm not afraid if there's a cloud above
If it should rain, we'll let it
But, for tonight, forget it, I'm in the mood for love


33.Coming Down Off The Money Bag/Song Of The Dog

作詞:Greg Leskiw

Been playin' in a band for ninety nine years
Been doing these tunes just to please your ears
Follow these changes, there are but three
They can change you know anyway you please

Now, take this tune I'm picking away
Away I pick is what I say
But every once in a while it becomes a drag
So, I come down off the money bag

I'm gonna leave this city
Leave my woman troubles far behind
Gonna leave this city
Leave my woman troubles far behind
One day she says she loves me
Next day treat me so unkind

I hopped into the station
Get me leavin' ticket just one way
I hopped into the station
Get me a leavin' ticket just one way, can't stay
One time she says she loves me
Next day say lover boy go away

I'm been playin' in a band for ninety nine years
Been doing these tunes just to please your ears
Follow the changes, there are but three
They can change you know anyway you please

Now, take this tune I'm picking away
Away I pick is what I say, yeah
But every once in a while it becomes a drag
So, I come down off the money bag
It's the truth boys


34.Herbert's Loser

作詞:Greg Leskiw, Kurt Winter

It sure was scary when I met Mary
I didn't understand myself
I was a fool when we were in school
And she understood me better

I guess I had passion, it startled her fashion
She thought it a small price to pay
For fiery nights under northern lights
Helps the snow slowly melt away

Herbert's a loser, his father's a boozer
He didn't like himself
He lost his cool and he drowned in a pool
After writing a classic love letter

I guess too much passion, had startled his fashion
It started and ended that day
He wrote the letter there wasn't one better
One reading turned millions his way

Now there's Mary, it isn't so scary
Now that I like myself
I'm no fool and we're not in school
The water can't get any wetter

Now I'm in fashion, I'll warm up her passion
She'll think it a small price to pay
For fiery nights under northern lights
Helps the snow slowly melt away


35.Flying On The Ground

作詞:Neil Young

Is my world not falling down?
I'm in pieces on the ground
And my eyes aren't open
And I'm standing on my knees

But if crying and holding on
And flying on the ground is wrong
Then I'm sorry to let you down
But you're from my side of town
And I miss you

Turn me up or turn me down
Turn me off or turn me round
I wish, I could have met you in a place
Where we both belong

But if crying and holding on
And flying on the ground is wrong
Then I'm sorry to let you down
But you're from my side of town
And I miss you

Sometimes I feel like I'm just a helpless child
Sometimes I feel like a kid
But baby, since I have changed
I can't take nothing home

City lights at a country fair
Never shine but always glare
If I'm bright enough to see you
You're just to dark to care

But if crying and holding on
And flying on the ground is wrong
Then I'm sorry to let you down
But you're from my side of town
And I miss you


36.White Room

作詞:Pete Brown, Jack Bruce

In a white room with black curtains
Near the stations black roof country
No gold pavements tired starlings
Silver horses ran down moonbeams

In your dark eyes dawn-light smiled
On you leaving my contentment
I'll wait in this place where the sun never shines
Wait in this place were the shadows run from themselves

You said no things could secure you
At the station platform tickets
Restless diesels goodbye windows
In walked into such a sad time

At the station as I walked out
Felt my own need just beginning
I'll wait in the queue when the trains come back
Lie with you where the shadows run from themselves

At the party she was kindness
In the hard crowd consolation for the old wounds
Now forgotten yellow tigers
Crouched in jungles in her dark eyes

She's just dressing goodbye windows
Tired starlings I'll sleep in this place
With the lonely crowd life in the dark
Where the shadows run from themselves


37.Down and out Woman

作詞:Burton Cummings, Domenic Troiano

They say that misery loves company
Maybe that's why I'm lovin' you
But I've sure been hangin' around you a lot
Since your old man said you were through

Down and out woman
I love the way you do what you do
Down and out woman, woman-child
I wanna get down, down, down with you

I know you've had your tribulations
A good man is never easy to find
But I'll put the sparkle back there in your eyes
And you can leave the others all behind

Down and out woman
I love the way you look when you're blue
Down and out woman, woman-child
I wanna get down, down, down with you

Do you remember that day you told me
How long the lonely nights could be?
Well I'm just the kind to put â€~em out of your mind
Now honey, try and get next to me

Down and out woman
You're lookin' awful cute when you're blue
Down and out woman, woman-child
I wanna get down, down with you


38.Bye Bye Babe

作詞:Bill Wallace, Kurt Winter

Bye bye, bye bye, babe
Bye bye, bye bye, babe

Bye bye, bye bye, babe
Bye bye, bye bye, babe
No need to bye bye

If the local rock scene has gotten you down
You got nowhere to go
You better get up on a greyhound bus
Head down the road to T.O.

Bye bye, bye bye, babe
Bye bye, bye bye, babe

She got to take another chance
Her last rock and roll chance

If your whole life has gotten you down
You got nowhere to turn
There's a correspondence course in the book
Still things a young girl can learn

Bye bye, bye bye, babe

You'd better trade in your box, sell your rod now, baby
But I'm singing to you
Bye bye, bye bye, babe

Have a look in your comic book
Have another look, you're sinking
Bye bye, bye bye, babe

Head down the road, look for a slimy toad
Nothing in your head you woman
Bye bye, bye bye, babe

Oh, bye bye, bye bye, babe


39.6 A.M. or Nearer

作詞:Randy Bachman

There ain't no reason to talk
About the things I could have done
My livin' don't come easy
And I've hardly just begun
I'm not getting back the heartaches like before
Anymore
Anymore

They say seeing is believing
So I lent myself to travel
Soon became experienced
And my soul turned into gravel
Turned every stone and opened every door
Like before
Like before

Sun was hardly shining
It was 6 a.m. or nearer
My mind was sick of trying
As the sky became a mirror
I really felt like dying
It was 6 a.m. or nearer
I was drowning
I was drowning

I soon got sick of falling
So I took a try in praying
I heard somebody calling
Might have been a baby playing
And I fell down from the ceiling to the floor
Like before
Like before

Sun was hardly shining
It was 6 a.m. or nearer
My mind was sick of trying
As the sky became a mirror
I really felt like dying
It was 6 a.m. or nearer
I was drowning
I was drowning


40.Minstrel Boy

作詞:Randy Bachman, Burton Cummings

A little boy sat cryin' on the floor
His daddy won't be comin' home no more
He cannot reason why his daddy had to die
And the Minstrel boy's not singing any more

So play violin, play
Play 'til the night is over
Music will wash away
All your sorrow

At seventeen, he thought he'd never cry
And then his angel had to say goodbye
But living must go on to face another dawn
And the Minstrel boy's not singing any more

So play violin, play
Play 'til the night is over
Music will wash away
All your sorrow

A moment later, life was just a dream
Remembering the things he'd done and seen
He now can reason why, he soon will have to die
And the Minstrel boy's not singing any more

And the Minstrel boy's not singing any more
And the Minstrel boy's not singing any more
And the Minstrel boy's not singing any more


41.Do You Miss Me Darling?

作詞:Burton Cummings, Kurt Winter

What good is it
If I can't even sing it to you?
What good is it
If I can't even come out and sing it to you right now?

â€~Cause talkin' won't do it
And walkin' won't rush it along

What good is it
If I can't even bring it to you?
What good is it
If I can't even come out and bring it to you right now?

â€~Cause talkin' won't do it
And walkin' won't rush it along

Do you miss me darlin'
Sunday afternoon?
Do you miss me darlin'
Monday, Tuesday too?

Do you miss me darlin'
Friday morning, noon?
Do you miss me darlin'
Will you see me soon?

Do you miss me darlin'?


42.Attila's Blues

作詞:Burton Cummings, Don Mcdougall, Gary Peterson, Wallace,
Winter

Show biz train, baby won't you climb on board?
Show biz train, baby won't you climb on board?

Is your manager managing to manage for the best?
Or is he making out fine for himself?
Does your record label bring you in with trumpets and horns
Just to pack you back away on the shelf?
Is your lawyer lyin' to you, do you really wanna know?
As your agent waiting home for his pay, pay, pay

Welcome one and all now to show, show business
Wouldn't have it any other way
Welcome one and all now to show, show business
Wouldn't have it any other way

Got some people lining up for seven days before you come
But then your house is full of empty chairs
Are you finding self-importance in the things that you've done?
You're findin' out that no one really cares
Do the people buy your records, do they play them on the air?
But the warehouse must be where they stay

Welcome one and all down to show show business
Wouldn't have it any other way, no
Welcome one and all now to show, show business
Wouldn't have it any other way, no

Show biz train, baby won't you climb on board?
Show biz train, baby won't you climb on board?

Well have you ever had an aardvark sandwich?
Have you ever had a seagull stew?
I had a pet pitiful penguin and I made him watch the six o'clock
news
And shine my shoes
I got the help preserve 'em, don't deserve 'em
Try and serve 'em, love 'em all blues

Well, have you ever seen a Madras monkey?
Have you ever seen an Orlon eel?
I had a pet pitiful parrot and I taught him how to pick and
choose
Drink my booze
I got the 'help preserve 'em, don't deserve 'em
Try and serve 'em, love 'em all' blues

Just keepin' track of where things are all goin'
Baby just keepin' track
Just keepin' track of where things are all goin'
Baby just keepin' track

Housefly
Tell me what you're thinkin' 'bout
Housefly
Tryin' to really sort it out
Flying head-on into the plate glass window, sniffing that DDT

Dumb bird
Flyin's comin' slowly to you
Dumb bird
Flyin' isn't holy to you
Heading down South for the big celebration, you got a ride for
me
Know what I'm tellin' ya.

Show biz train, baby won't you climb on board?
Show biz train, baby won't you climb on board?
Show biz train, baby won't you climb on board?

43.A Wednesday in Your Garden

作詞:Randy Bachman

As I crawl through your garden
You stand and laugh
You stand and laugh
I tried to beg for your pardon
You stand and laugh
You stand and laugh

It's a long way coming down
The ladders in your eye
For a Wednesday in your garden
I think that I would die

I tried to stand in your garden
But you're too tall
You're much too tall
You win the hand, I throw my cards in
You watched me fall
You watched me fall

It's a long way coming down
The ladders in your eye
For a Wednesday in your garden
I think that I would die

I tried to fly in your garden
But you shot me down
Mama you shot me down on the ground
I watched the sky above me harden
And your black gown
Your long back funeral gown

It's a long way coming down
The ladders in your eye
For a Wednesday in your garden
I think that I would die


44.New Mother Nature

作詞:Burton Cummings

Jocko says, 'Yes', and I believe him
When we talk about the things I say
Hasn't got the faith or the guts to leave him
When they're standin' in each other's way

You're trippin' back now to places you've been to
You wonder what you're gonna find
You know you've been wrong, it won't be long
Before you leave 'em all far behind

Babe, we got the new mother nature taking over
Babe, we got the new splendid lady who come to call
Babe, we got the new mother nature taking over
She's gettin' us all, she's gettin' us all

Jocko said, 'No', when I came back last time
It's lookin' like I lost a friend
There's no use callin' 'cause the sky is fallin'
And I'm getting pretty near the end

Smoke-filled room in a corner basement
The situation must be right
A bag of goodies, a bottle of wine
We're gonna get buzzed up tonight

Babe, we got the new mother nature taking over
Babe, we got the new splendid lady who come to call
Well don't you know, we got the new mother nature taking over
She's gettin' us all, she's gettin' us all

Jocko says, 'Yes', and I believe him
When we talk about the things I say
Hasn't got the faith or the guts to leave him
When they're standin' in each other's way

You're tripping back now to places you've been to
You wonder what you're gonna find
You know you've been wrong but it won't be long
Before you leave 'em all far by, so far behind

Babe, we got the new mother nature taking over
Babe, we got the new splendid lady who come to call
Well don't you know we got the new mother nature taking over
She's gettin' us all, she's gettin' us all
She's gettin' us all, she's gettin' us all, all of us


45.Light My Fire

作詞:John Densmore, Robbie Krieger, Ray Manzarek, Jim Morrison

You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you
Ayy, girl, we couldn't get much higher

Come on, baby, light my fire
Come on, baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire

Mmm, the time for hesitation's through
There's no time to wallow in the mire
Darling ,we could only lose
And our love become a funeral pyre

Come on, baby, light my fire
Come on, baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire

Well, you know that it would be untrue
And you know that I would be a liar
If I was to go and tell you
Mama, we couldn't get much higher

Yeah, come on, baby, light my fire
Come on, baby, light my fire
Yeah, try to set the night on fire
Ayy, hey, hey, come on, baby, light, light my fire

Yeah, come on, babe, light my fire
Don't you know it's alright?
Light my fire, light my fire, light my fire
Oh, light my fire, light my fire, light my fire

Yeah girl, girl, you better light my fire
Yeah, you better light, you better light
You better light my fire
And we are going to get much higher

Oh, oh, come on, girl, you know I love you, girl
You know I need you, babe, come on
Light, light, light, light my fire, light my fire
Light my fire, light my fire, light my fire

Light my fire, light, light, light, light
Light my, my, my, my fire, light, light, light, light
Light my fire, girl, you better light my fire


46.She's come Undone

作詞:Randy Bachman

She's come undone
She didn't know what she was headed for
And when I found what she was headed for
It was too late

She's come undone
She found a mountain that was far too high
And when she found out she couldn't fly
It was too late

It's too late
She's gone too far
She's lost the sun
She's come undone

She wanted truth
But all she got was lies
Came the time to realize
And it was too late

She's come undone
She didn't know what she was headed for
And when I found what she was headed for
Mama, it was too late

It's too late
She's gone too far
She's lost the sun
She's come undone

Too many mountains, and not enough stairs to climb
Too many churches and not enough truth
Too many people and not enough eyes to see
Too many lives to lead and not enough time

It's too late
She's gone too far
She's lost the sun
She's come undone

It's too late
She's gone too far
She's lost the sun
She's come undone

She didn't know
What she was headed for
And when I found what she was headed for
It was too late

She's come undone
She found a mountain that was far too high
And when she found out she couldn't fly
Mama, it was too late

It's too late
She's gone too far
She's lost the sun
She's come undone


47.The Answer

作詞:Bachman, Burton Cummings

It's no good anymore
When your hands are tied
'Cause your friends found you out
When you broke down and cried

And the bright colored balls
That you held inside
Weren't the answer
No, no, no, not the answer

It's no good anymore
When you know all the rules
'Cause your friends pushed you out
And they all look like fools

And the stories that you sang
From the inside room
Weren't the answer
No, no, no, not the answer

I'd like to help you but you're past that
I'd like to help you but it's too late
I'd like to look around the corner just to find what I could see

It's no good anymore
To abide by the rules
'Cause you're graduating soon
From the loser's school

And the country tavern lady
In the house on the hill
Can't be the answer
No, no, no, she's not the answer

I'd like to help you but you're past that
I'd like to help you but it's too late
I'd like to look around the corner just to find what I could see

I'd like to help you but you're past that
I'd like to help you but it's too late
I'd like to look around the corner just to find what I could see

Like to help you but you're too far gone
I'd like to help you out but it's too late now
Like to help you now but you're too far gone
Too late and you're far gone
Too late and you're far gone
Too late and you're far gone
Too late and you're far gone now


48.Heart Broken Bopper

作詞:Burton Cummings, Kurt Winter

Night school strutter, just struttin' around
He can't find work since the band left town
He can't get up 'cause he can't get down

Yeah, he's a heartbroken bopper

Honor roll student, graduation day
Summa Cum Laude is a big okay
Car wash king is havin' beans today

And he's a heartbroken bopper
Oh, he's a heartbroken bopper

Rise from the gutters
There's too much has gone to waste
Rise with the others
There's too much is done in haste

Yeah, he's a heartbroken bopper
Oh, he's a heartbroken bopper
Oh, you're struttin' with a heartbroken bopper
Oh, you're movin' with a heartbroken bopper

Oh, you're shuckin', heartbroken bopper
Oh, you're dancin', heartbroken bopper
Oh, you're movin', heartbroken bopper
You're rockin' with a heartbroken bopper

A-struttin' and a-movin' with a heartbroken bopper
Makin' it, heartbroken bopper
You've seen better days, heartbroken bopper
Seen better days, heartbroken bopper


49.Fair Warning

作詞:Randy Bachman, Burton Cummings

Well I've been trying for ages
And it looks like it's all in vain
And if things don't start looking up pretty soon
I'm going home

Well the folks back home, they wonder where I've been
And they're looking pretty good to me now
So if you're thinking of bright lights and flame
Stay at home

Well there's managers and booking agents
Out for what they can get
And each one says he's your friend
But there's not one of them there
But for what he can get out of it in the end

So if you're thinking of going on the stage
Put down your guitar, stay in school
Take advantage of your age
Take it from me, I've been there and I've come back.
Don't be a star


50.Summertime Blues

作詞:Jerry Neal Capehart, Eddie Cochran

I'm a-gonna raise a fuss
I'm a-gonna raise a holler
About a-workin' all summer
Just to try to earn a dollar

Every time, I call my baby
Try to get a date
My boss says
'No dice son, you gotta work late'

Sometimes I wonder, what I'm a gonna do?
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues

Well, my mom and poppa told me
'Son you gotta make some money
If you want to use the car
To go ridin' next Sunday'

Well, I didn't go to work
Told the boss I was sick
'Now you can't use the car
'Cause you didn't work a lick'

Sometimes I wonder, what I'm a gonna do?
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues

I'm gonna take two weeks
Gonna have a fine vacation
I'm gonna take my problem to the United Nations
Well, I called my congressman and he said

'Whoa, I'd like to help you son
But you're too young to vote'

Sometimes I wonder, what I'm a gonna do?
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues


51.No Sugar Tonight

作詞:Randy Bachman

Lonely feeling deep inside
Find a corner where I can hide
Silent footsteps crowding me
Sudden darkness but I can see

No sugar tonight in my coffee
No sugar tonight in my tea
No sugar to stand beside me
No sugar to run with me

Dat'n-doo-dow-dow
Dat'n-doo-dow
Dat'n-doo-dow-dow
Dat'n-doo-dow

In the silence of her mind
Quiet movements where I can find
Grabbing for me with her eyes
Now I'm falling from her skies

No sugar tonight in my coffee
No sugar tonight in my tea
No sugar to stand beside me
No sugar to run with me

Dat'n-doo-dow-dow
Dat'n-doo-dow
Dat'n-doo-dow-dow
Dat'n-doo-dow

Jocko says, 'Yes' and I believe him
When we talk about the things I say
She hasn't got the faith or the guts to leave him
When they're standing in each other's way

You're tripping back now to places you've been to
You wonder what you're gonna find
You know you've been wrong but it won't be long
Before you leave â€~em all far behind

â€~Cause it's the new Mother Nature taking over
It's the new Splendid lady come to call
It's the new Mother Nature taking over
She's gettin' us all, she's gettin' us all

Jocko said, 'No' when I came back last time
It's looking like I lost a friend
No use callin' â€~cause the sky is fallin'
And I'm getting pretty near the end

A smoke-filled room in a corner basement
The situation must be right
A bag of goodies and a bottle of wine
We're gonna get it on right tonight

â€~Cause it's the new Mother Nature taking over
It's the new Splendid Lady come to call
It's the new Mother Nature taking over
She's gettin' us all, she's getting' us all

Jocko says, 'Yes' and I believe him
When we talk about the things I say
She hasn't got the faith or the guts to leave him
When they're standing in each other's way

You're tripping back now to places you've been to
You wonder what you're gonna find
You know you've been wrong and it won't be long
Before you leave â€~em all far behind

â€~Cause it's the new Mother Nature taking over
It's the new Splendid lady come to call
It's the new Mother Nature taking over
She's gettin' us all, she's gettin' us all

52.Coors for Sunday

作詞:Burton Cummings, Domenic Troiano

Hey dreambreaker, you gonna laugh
Now that you fell down?
You broke my will and stole my soul
Without even a half-ass frown

You got Coors for Sunday
You got a way with the Negro boys
Comes to steppin' on their women
Spendin' all your cash just to hear their noise

You got cool
Not even you could ever get that hip
Seems your nose started runnin' everytime
You tried to let your backbone slip

You know it ain't right
When you're screamin' in the morning

You got Kings at your table
They're just a backstreet bunch of clowns
Steppin' out, have a look over
I hope I'm there to see you tumble on down


53.Rich World Poor World

作詞:Burton Cummings, Dominic Troiano

Rich world, poor world
Everyday it's gettin' modified
Rich world, poor world
Aren't you glad you're on the western side?

Individual luxury just might be the trump of the game
If you come back 'round with a gun at your head
I'm sure the view will never be the same

I heard something that you never been told
You'll have trouble just tryin' to get old
I got something, gonna give you the word
I'm interested if you have heard

I don't really mean to bring you right down
The safest place for you's way under the ground
I got somethin' that you never been told
Told, you been told, you been told, you been told
You been told, you been told

Rich world, poor world
Fewer places every day to hide
Rich world, poor world
I like it better on the western side

A growing epidemic of ignorance
Been keeping me on the run
With a jaded ear and a whole lot of fear
We're gonna wither up one by one

I got something that you never been told
Gonna have trouble just tryin' to get old
I got something that you never heard
Come on now, just spread the word

I got somethin', gonna make you hip
Now don't go blabbin' and let it slip
For what you got, I think you overpaid
I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid

'Hi there, little starving Asian child with bloated belly
Open sores and look of despair, my, you are hungry, aren't you?
You know, I'd love to help you get enough nutrition
To perpetuate your misery a little further'
But right now I've just got to finish this thesis
On the 'Divine right of kings
See you tomorrow'

'Hi there, little golden Greekette, Capri-bound modern Venus
With fenced beach and medically transformed nose and midriff
I know how heartbroken you are that your best friend beat you to
Paris For the unveiling of the latest fashions'

'And I'd love to console you
But, you see, I lost my right leg yesterday
Trying to scrounge up a shot of antibiotics
Oh well'

Rich world, poor world
Everyday it's gettin' modified
Rich world, poor world
I like it better on the western side

A growing epidemic of ignorance
Been keepin' us on the run
With a jaded ear and a whole lot of fear
We're gonna wither up one by one

I heard somethin' gonna make you blue
Don't get excited 'cause you know it ain't new
I got somethin' gonna make you hip
Now don't go blabbin' and let it slip, you hear

Now I don't mean to be bringin' you down
You won't be safe till you're layin' in the ground
For what you got I think you overpaid
I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid


54.Shoppin' Bag Lady

作詞:Burton Cummings, Domenic Troiano

City lights and the pretty sights beckoned you to roam
Leavin' now and you're knowin' how, you're on your own
Family and reality seem so far away
Feelin' fine and the happy times have left you to stay

Oh shopping bag lady, asleep on the snow
If you had your fortune you'd trade it for a kind hello
Oh shopping bag lady, the winter winds blow
Society has forgotten you, there's nowhere left for you to go

Through the tears, all your better years passin' by so fast
Loneliness is a part of you, and oh, how it lasts
No one there, there to really care, the city seems so cold
Yesterday you were just a child, today you're so old

I would love to hold you
Nights when you're alone
And the cold and dark is killin' you ever so slowly
I would love to love you
Nights when you're alone, you're alone

I know the days used to be something different for you
I know it's cold and lonely and it's misery
I wanna help you, I wanna help you, I wanna help you when you're
down
I wanna look around and find a helping hand for you

Oh no, it's never too late
Oh no, it's never too late to try and help you out
I know you're cold and it's misery
I can tell the days used to be something different for you


55.Takin' Care Of Business

作詞:Randy Bachman

To get up in the mornin' from the alarm clock's warnin'
Take the 8:15 into the city
There's a whistle up above and people pushin', people shovin'
And the girls who always look pretty

And if your train's on time you can get to work by 9
And start your slaving job to get your pay
If you ever get annoyed look at me, I'm self-employed
I love to work at nothing all day and I'll be

Takin' care of business everyday
Takin' care of business, every way
I've been takin' care of business, it's all mine
Takin' care of business and I've been working overtime
Work out, work out

If you could make sounds loud or mellow
Get a second-hand guitar, chances are you'll go far
If you get in with the right bunch of fellow

People see you having fun, just lying in the sun
Tell them that you like it this way
It's the work that we avoid and we're all self-enjoyed
We love to work at nothing all day

And I'll be takin' care of business everyday
Takin' care of business, every way
I've been takin' care of business, it's all mine
Takin' care of business it's the end of time

Take good care of my business
When I'm away, everyday

You get up in the mornin' from the alarm clock's warnin'
Take the 8:15 into the city
There's a whistle up above and people pushin', people shovin'
And the girls who always look pretty

And if your train's on time you can get to work by 9
And start your slaving job to get your pay
If you ever get annoyed look at me I'm self-employed
I love to work at nothing all day

And I've been takin' care of business everyday
Takin' care of business, every way
I've been takin' care of business, it's all mine
Takin' care of business, I've been working overtime, work out

Takin' care of business
Takin' care of business
Takin' care of business
Takin' care of business

Takin' care of business everyday
You are takin' care of business every way
You are takin' care of business, you're so fine
Takin' care of business you've been working overtime

Takin' care of business
Takin' care of business
We've been takin' care of business
Takin' care of business

One more time
We've been takin' care of business
Takin' care of business
Takin' care of business
Takin' care of business


56.Don't You Want Me

作詞:Burton Cummings

Don't you want me?
Don't you want me?
Baby, listen 'deed I do

Tell me lovin' things and the sounds I crave
Never let the chance roll by
But you'll be hanging from a Sycamore tree
If you're dancin' with another guy

Well, don't you want me?
Don't you want me?
Baby, listen 'deed I do

I'll kill your kid sister, I'll murder your dad
I'll rip the lashes off your eye
I'll slaughter all your cattle and I'll burn your crops
If you're dancin' with another guy

Don't you want me?
Don't you want me?
Baby, listen 'deed I do


57.Pretty Blue Eyes

作詞:Teddy Randazzo, Bobby Weinstein

Though, I was in love before
Then you moved in next door
Pretty blue eyes
Pretty blue eyes

All the guys in the neighborhood
Keep saying that you sure look good
With your blue eyes
Pretty blue eyes

Saw you from my window
My heart skipped a beat
Wanna sit on your doorstep
So now I can meet
Pretty blue eyes

Please come out today
So I can tell you, what I have to say
That I love you, love you
Pretty blue eyes


58.Rock And Roller Steam

作詞:Bill Wallace, Kurt Winter

Rock and roller steam, pulp and paper shack
Wrinkles on my head, people on my back
All going nowhere, never coming back
Got to be rich to be poor

Keeps me satisfied
Keeps me satisfied
Spending money for the time I buy
Keeps me satisfied

Man back from the dead, weasels in the pack
Approval from the pope to stretch them on the rack
All going nowhere, never coming back
Got to be rich to be poor

Keeps me satisfied


59.The Watcher

作詞:Burton Cummings, Bill Wallace

What will become of the watcher?
Whatever will happen to his soul
What will become of the watcher?

When the band packs up
When the lights go out
When the band packs up and goes home

Left him sitting at his table
He could no longer raise his cane
All the people missed his message

When the band packed up
When the lights went out
When the band packed up and went home

His only friends lay in the ashtray
Each night he'd call them out by name
Before him always sat the same glass
And the town folk thought him quite insane

What will become of the watcher?
Will no one dig a grave for his soul?
Whatever will become of the watcher

When the lights go out
When the lights go out
When the band packs up and goes home

You do not understand you lend a helping hand

Hamba Gahle

61.All Hashed Out

作詞:Burton Cummings, Bill Wallace, Kurt Winter

People, taking me for a ride
People, nothing left inside
Knowing all along
They could be the ones you're beside

Running, circumstances are all the same
Running, by now they've forgotten your name
How can they look at you bleeding
And tell you the dish ran away with the spoon

All hashed out
All hashed out
All hashed out
All hashed out

People, taking me for a ride
Sitting but never just thinking
People, nothing left inside
People just looking but nothing remaining
Knowing all along could be the ones you're beside

All hashed out
All hashed out
All hashed out
All hashed out


62.Those Show Biz Shoes

作詞:Burton Cummings

My girl's got some solution
That's excellent for removing all the tuna and the oil
And though she laughs at the Constitution
At least she'd end up owning up to being just my goil

The theater is raging
Destroy it
Ignorance is threatening
Ignore it
For trees
Maybe a breeze

DC hauler baby, blow the whistle Mama
Can't we get this aluminum woman off the ground?
First class, coach, executive service now are the cakes and
tarts
A runnin' freely all around

The citizen is crumbling
Destroy him
Ignorance is threatening
Ignore it
For trees
Maybe a breeze
For trees
Maybe a breeze

People comin' on about the way I greet the dawn
And how I can often seem overly rehearsed
Talkin' trash, drivel, reason beams down on me
Matchin' me up against King James the First

And if only for an instant
Amid the hurly burly and rapid jive
I could look up at something I once thought I believed in
And thank it for the feeling of sometimes being alive

I could thank it for those show
I could thank it for those show
I could thank it for those show
I could thank it for those show
Those show biz shoes

Thank you for my show biz shoes
Thank you for my show biz shoes
Thank you for my show biz shoes
Thank you for my show biz shoes

Gon' get to Heaven in my show biz shoes
Walking over Heaven in my show biz shoes
If there's a Heaven then there's show biz shoes
A million dollars worth of show biz shoes

Thank you for my show biz shoes
I got respect for my show biz shoes
Don't you step on my blue suede show biz shoes
I'll never give away my show biz shoes

Bright lights, big city in my show biz shoes
Impress the women with my show biz shoes
Going dancing in my show biz shoes
Whoa, I love my show biz shoes

I'm going walking in my show biz shoes
I got respect for my show biz shoes
Polishing my show biz shoes
A million dollars worth of show biz shoes
Gettin' gold records in my show biz shoes


63.Palmyra

作詞:Randy Bachman, Burton Cummings

There was lung-cold steel
N the way I feel without her
There were mystic eyes
Shinin' through the lies about her

Palmyra

My actual grip on life was gone
I was livin' in my dream
When along came a man on a tortoise shell
The strangest I did see

He said, 'Come ride upon my back
Although the pace is slow
I've no intention of turning back
From where you want to go-ho'

And there was Jessica, long and darkening
An under-rated queen
To laugh is fine, to fool, divine
But keep your thinking clean

And here Miranda stood much taller
Softly flowing grace
Why was the smirk now getting smaller
Painted on my face?

Palmyra


64.How Down Time

作詞:Cheryl Wheeler

I'm gonna wake you in the morning, for hoe down time
You're gonna hear me come a knockin', right on time
Forget about your sister, we don't need her
I'm gonna wake you in the morning, for hoe down time

I'm gonna get you now
Got what you're lookin' for
You'll never get it better, come on

I'm gonna dress you up in rubies, shine, shine, shine
And everybody's gonna love you, at hoe down time
Gonna take my lover dancin', in dancin' shoes
And everybody's gonna know you, at hoe down time

I'm gonna get you, babe
You'll never get it better
Got what you're lookin' for

No use hiding or running away
Because I'll know where you are
Gypsy lady says you're in my future
And I've wished on a star

I'm gonna dress you up in rubies, shine, shine, shine
And everybody's gonna love you, at hoe down time
Forget about your sister, we don't need her
I'm gonna get you, pretty baby, it's hoe down time

I'm gonna wake you in the morning, for hoe down time
I'm gonna get you pretty baby, right on time
You're gonna hear me come a knockin', bam, bam, bam
I'm gonna take you pretty baby, for hoe down time

It's hoe down time, it's hoe down time
It's hoe down time
It's hoe down time, it's hoe down time
It's hoe down time, it's hoe down time


65.American Women

作詞:Randy Bachman, Burton Cummings, Jim Kale, Gary Peterson

American woman gonna mess your mind
American woman, she gonna mess your mind
American woman gonna mess your mind
American woman gonna mess your mind

Say A, say M, say E, say R
Say I, C, say A, say N
American woman gonna mess your mind

American woman, stay away from me
American woman, mama let me be
Don't come hangin' around my door
I don't wanna see your face no more

I got more important things to do
Than spend my time growin' old with you
Now woman, I said stay away
American woman, listen what I say

American woman, get away from me
American woman, mama let me be
Don't come knockin' around my door
Don't wanna see your shadow no more

Colored lights can hypnotize
Sparkle someone else's eyes
Now woman, I said get away
American woman, listen what I say

American woman, said get away
American woman, listen what I say
Don't come hangin' around my door
Don't wanna see your face no more

I don't need your war machines

Now woman, get away from me
American woman, mama let me be

Go, gotta get away, gotta get away
Now go go go
Gonna leave you, woman
Gonna leave you, woman

Bye-bye
Bye-bye
Bye-bye

You're no good for me

Gonna look you right in the eye
Tell you what I'm gonna do

You know, I'm gonna leave
You know, I'm gonna go
You know, I'm gonna leave
You know, I'm gonna go, woman

I'm gonna leave, woman
Goodbye, American woman
Goodbye, American chick
Goodbye, American broad


66.Dreams

作詞:Burton Cummings, Domenic Troiano

I was lost and tossed on a misty morning
By a drunken sailor
And the genie in the bottle let me down

I was raised on Cain in the name of the father
And the mother and the brother
And the other who was never even 'round

On a windswept coast with the black knight falling
I was heard to be calling
That my ship and all its crew were going down

As the sun ran slowly by a childhood rivulet
A jeweled king summoned me
Commanding that I run and tell the town

Saw you, saw me, run quickly now
Run and hide away
Run and hide today

In a room in a castle full of faceless lovers
I was cut and bleeding
And the image in the mirror struck me down

I was chased and beaten
By a well-drilled team of little men breathing colors
And abandoned in a coffin in the ground

As a pale young virgin made a meal of a martyr
She was hailed as holy by the only ones
Who stood and held their ground

When a bright Mona Lisa
With the eyes of a tiger read a new proclamation
I was stricken from her list and never found

Saw you, saw me, run quickly now
Run and hide away
Run and hide today

Seems they come and go so quickly
Disappear like sunlight in the evening
And they may not ever be explained

Seems like they come and go so quickly
Disappearin' in the air like a breath of wind
And they may not ever be explained

And I woke up thinkin' I was dyin'
If you find one hang on with all you got
Way down deep, deep in your soul
For it may not ever come again

And I woke up crying like a baby
Hey yay yay yay yay yay yay, where they're gone
No, they may not ever be explained

And I woke up thinkin' why to
If you find one hang on with everything you got
Down deep there in your soul
No, they may not ever be explained
And I woke up crying like a baby

Seems like they come and go so quickly
Disappear like sunlight in the evening
And they may not ever be explained
And I woke up thinkin' I was dying


67.Lie Down

作詞:Burton Cummings

Have a disease free summer in Asia
Have a good old roughy tumble in Japan
Have a disease free winter in Dauphin
And lie down, lie down

Why is it not good enough for you?
It is genuine

Born in years of later forties
Never pampered or advised it was wise
To be chasin' after something bright and tawny
If you totaled up the score and found
That my side of the board was winning

Then my ex-friend you might be a loser
I'm too damn surly to be forgiven
Too damned unstable to be left all alone
Too damn lucky to be livin' the life I am
And livin' the life I'm lookin' at

Why is it not good enough for you?
It is genuine


68.Cardboard Empire

作詞:William Wallace, Kurt Winter

Cardboard Empire
Would you crumble to the ground
As we watched by?
Shipping magnate
Are you stranded on the ground
With no dog to fly?

Round the table
Sat the kings of circumstance
The puppeteer would pull his strings
And we would sing and dance
As the Cardboard Empire fell

Stone Age Neros
Sat behind their desks of steel
Trading paper clips
Of our empire
There was nothing left untouched
But potato chips

We sat down at the banquet
And the jester danced a reel
The gladiator drew his sword
We knew we were the meal
As the Cardboard Empire fell

Who are the people
Who are the people
Who are the people
That you think you are?

Who are the people
Who are the people
Who are the people
That you think you are?

Sat down at the banquet
And the jester danced a reel
The gladiator drew his sword
We knew we were the meal
As the Cardboard Empire fell

Who are the people
Who are the people
Who are the people
That you think you are?

Who are the people
Who are the people
Who are the people
That you think you are?


69.Loves Me Like a Brother

作詞:Burton Cummings, Domenic Troiano

She loves me like a brother
When I'm standing by her side
She loves me like a brother
There's nothing that she won't confide
No, there's nothing that she won't confide

I been standing by, watching the young thing growing
And quite frankly, I don't like what I see
I could give you lessons on how you should treat her
'Cause she means so much to me

She comes to me crying when she gets down and out
Talkin' 'bout something bad you put her through
Not gonna stand for the lies of a man
Gonna wipe away her tears
Through a woman's roughest years

She loves me like a brother
When I'm standing by her side
She loves me like a brother
There's nothing that she won't confide
No, there's nothing that she won't confide

I've been hearin' stories and some nasty rumors
'Bout the way you've been out tomcat'n 'round
Better stay away now from my prize possession
If you plan to cover that much ground

She comes to me crying when she gets down and out
Sayin' what a loser you can be
Not gonna stand for the lies of a man
Gonna wipe away her tears
Through the woman's roughest years

(Don't you hurt her)
Not gonna stand for it
(Don't you hurt her)
Me that you're dealing with
(Don't you hurt her)
I'm gonna get try and all her tears
Through the young things roughest years

Love me like a brother
When I'm standing by her side
She loves me like a brother
There's nothing that she won't confide
No, there's nothing that she won't confide
I do believe it

There's nothing that she won't confide
Tells me everything
There's nothing that she won't confide


70.When The Band Was Singin'

作詞:Burton Cummings, Domenic Troiano

Well, now they started skinny minnie and it turned to ginny
ginny
With the dizzy miss lizzy blues
She smiled while we were strollin' and I knew that I was rollin'
Had to tell my big buddy the news

It's not the magic, it's not the music, it's not the moonlight
I don't know when I felt like this before
About ten years time ago
When the band was singin', 'Shakin' all over'
When the band was singin', 'Shakin' all over'

And now they gave us juicy Lucy and we did the Watusi
In a rockin' pair of blue suede shoes
What she don't know, won't hurt her even though I might desert
her
Got to tell my best buddy the news

It's not the magic, it's not the music, it's not the moonlight
I don't know, I think I've only felt like this one time before
About ten long years ago
When the band was singin', 'Shakin' all over'
When the band was singin', 'Shakin' all over'

It's not the magic, it's not the music, it's not the moonlight
I don't know, I think I've only felt like this one time before
So long ago that I can hardly remember
When the band was singin', 'Shakin' all over'
When the band was singin', 'Shakin' all over'

When the band was singin', 'Shakin' all over'
Scoop it out really
When the band was singin', 'Shakin' all over'


71.When You Touch Me

作詞:Randy Bachman, Burton Cummings, Robert Matheson

Projections under your black rims
Will hide you from the sun
And conscience keep you from the fact
And the piece of mind you won

But bad news and paying dues
Leaves space for everyone
But bad news and paying dues
Leaves space for everyone

And I feel free when you touch me
I feel free when you touch me
I feel free when you touch me
Never ever felt this high

I can feel it baby, I can feel it and it's taking
My mind away, my knees are knocking
My head is rocking, my heart's been shaking
All the way when you touch me

Now, you're up inside the dark clouds
And the sunshine being there
Relax and let the sparkle in
To hide you from the wear

And water tangled gardens
That are hidden in your hair
And water tangled gardens
That are hidden in your hair

And I feel free when you touch me
I feel free when you touch me
I feel free when you touch me
Never ever felt this high

I can feel it baby, I can feel it and it's taking
My mind away, my knees are knocking
My head is rocking, my heart's been shaking
All the way when you touch me

My, my, my, my, my, my

I can feel it, I can feel it and it's taking
My mind way, my knees are knocking
My head is rocking, my heart's been shaking
All the way when you touch me

My, my, my, my, my, my


72.Self Pity

作詞:Burton Cummings

Sure like to boogie after death comes callin'
Sure like rockin' when I'm far away
'Ooh Pooh Pah Doo' lettin' Jesse watch the heavens
Paint another picture while you're turnin' gray
Paint another picture while you're turnin' gray

Everything I knew about was always American
Skip a stone lightly and you'll be okay
Never really get my rockin' feet to movin'
Till somebody's singin', 'Not Fade Away'
Till somebody's singin', 'Not Fade Away'

Got mystery train fever and I'm a believer
And go down Moses
And I'll send you red roses
Despair and death at an early age

You sang about truckin' and the band had it movin'
If you were a lizard then you might be gone
A little self-indulgence never moved a mountain
Don't need the fiddler yellin', 'Yeah, right on”
Don't need the fiddler yellin', 'Yeah, right on”

You're my angel from a wet salvation
You can buy and sell me so you shine me on
Your mama worked hard and the acid made you think about it
Why mother water are the days all gone?
Why mother water are the days all gone?

Why mother water are the days all gone?
Why mother water are the days all gone?

Got mystery train fever and I'm a believer
And go down Moses
And I'll send you red roses
Despair and death at an early age

75.Power In The Music

作詞:Burton Cummings, Domenic Troiano

'Round about â€~20 the folks had plenty
No, they couldn't ask for too much more
The fatha kept thumpin' and the satch got jumpin'
And they rang right through with a roar

Then around â€~30 when things got dirty
All the players meant a whole lot more
The duke got stompin' and the count started rompin'
And what do you think it was for?

They put power in the music
And boy, you oughta hear it now
They put power in the music
The boys are gonna show you how

'Round about â€~40 when things got sporty
They were dancin' every night till dawn
The bird got â€~em hoppin' with his crazy be-boppin'
And Frankie crooned on and on

Then around â€~50 when folks got nifty
They were gettin' round to bendin' an ear
Chuck was duck-walkin' and the king got rockin'
And what do you think was here?

They got power in the music
And boy, you oughta hear it now
They got power in the music
The boys are gonna show you how

Then four boys made a brand new noise
From far beyond the sea
We loved all four and we yelled for more
It was natural as could be
Watts went up and loose ends went down
Now it's anything it wants to be

We got power in the music
And boy, you oughta hear it now, yeah
We got power in the music
The boys are gonna show you how

We got power in the music
And boy, you oughta hear it now
Well, we got power in the music
The boys are gonna show you how

Don't you know they gave it power, power in the music
Yah yah yah
Can't you feel it giving you now, power in the music
Yay yay yay

Can't you feel it growing every day, power in the music
Yaz yaz yaz
Don't you feel it disbursing, power in the music
Yah yah yah

You see them dancing up and down now, there's power in the music
Yay yay yay
I feel it growing every day now, there's power in the music
Yaz yaz yaz


76.Three More Days

作詞:Burton Cummings, Kurt Winter

Meet my lady every morning half past nine
When the bells begin to ring
Looking out the window down the road
And I see the same damn thing

Three days to get it on
Three days to get it off
And three more days to die

And I'm six feet down
And I'm asking the good Lord up in heaven

Why
Why
Why

You can't find all the answers
lf you're always standing in the rain
And once the chance goes by
lt just might not come round again

Three days to build it up
And three days to tear it down
And three more days to die

And I'm still six feet down
Still wonderin', prayin' and asking

Why
Why
Why

We gotta have a reason and you know it
We gotta have a reason and you know it, you know it
Oh, we gotta have a reason and you know it
Hey we gotta have a reason and you know it
You know it, you know it, you know it

Freedom, paint me a picture
Freedom, paint me a picture
Freedom, paint me a picture
Show it to me

Freedom, paint me a picture
Freedom, paint me a picture
Show it to me, right now
Freedom, paint me a picture
Where are you freedom?

Meet the lady every morning half past nine
When the bells begin to ring
Looking out the window down the road
And I see the same damn thing

Three days to get it on
And three days to get it off
And three more days to die

And I'm six feet down
And I'm asking the good Lord up in heaven

77.Lightfoot

作詞:Randy Bachman, Burton Cummings, Robert Matheson

Sidemen come out first, John Stockfish bass guitar
Looks at the world through the eyes of Nashville
The Riverboat and Charlie McCoy, he's just a boy

The lead guitarist Red Shea
Who's really come a long, long way
Since rhythm rocker jingle jangle and go red

And Lightfoot, Edwardian, suddenly striped
His hair blondish and poetic, he is less than vinyl perfect
His foot is a precise anchor for the husk and vibrance of his
voice

He is the image of Alberta
The side street near Chicago
The grim beauty of Toronto

He is an artist, he is an artist
He is an artist painting Sistine masterpieces of pine and fur
and backwoods
Still echoes long ago the winter night of black July and then
the outcome
Of an early Cleveland rainfall

I sit softly among the rest waiting there for him to paint his
pictures
And as the go-go girl went round and our heads were in a spin
I thought about the Crossroads, in the early morning rain and
Rosanna

I'm not saying that I'm sorry, I'm just telling you this story
And when Lightfoot's magic calls, you can write it on your walls
'Cause that's what walls are for

He is an artist, he is an artist
He is an artist painting Sistine masterpieces of pine and fur
and backwoods

He is an artist, he is an artist
He is an artist painting Sistine masterpieces of pine and fur
and backwoods
Still echoes long ago the winter night of black July and then
the outcome

He is an artist
He is an artist painting masterpieces of pine


78.Take It off My Shoulders

作詞:Burton Cummings, Donald Mc Dougall

Take it off of my shoulders
I don't need your heavy load
Take it off of my shoulders
Devil get out of my soul
Away from my soul

Wake up angel, I am calling
Don't want to drink this misery
Help me out so I can say now
Devil get out of my soul
Away from my soul

Dancin', prancin', high financin'
No time left for love
There's only one life
And you gotta make the best of it this time

Wheelin', dealin', never feelin'
What you might have been dreamin' of
There's only one chance
And you gotta grab just what you can

Take it off of my shoulders
Devil get out of my soul
Away from my soul

Dancin', prancin', high financin'
No time left for love
There's only one life
And you gotta make the best of it this time

Wheelin', dealin', never feelin'
What you might have been dreamin' of
There's only one chance
And you gotta grab just what you can

Take it off of my shoulders
Devil get out of my soul
Away from my soul

Devil get away from my soul
Devil get away from my soul
Better run away from my soul
I said, ‽You better run away from my soul”

Devil get away from my soul
Runnin' runnin'
Better get away
Better get away from my soul
Better get away from my soul


79.Women

作詞:Burton Cummings, Domenic Troiano

Colder women light a fire in me
Bolder women seem to tire of me
Older women put desire in me
But without â€~em to hold, where would this poor man be?

Crazy women make a fool of me
Ruthless women seem so cruel to me
And painted women actin' cool with me
But without â€~em to hold, where would this poor man be?

I wanna tell you what I know
I ain't sayin' it's a lot
But I hope it's enough to teach you
To try to hang on to what you got

I wanna say, I'm only sayin'
What I mean and I'm backin' it up
'Cause I've already been there, son

I know that colder women light a fire in me
Bolder women seem to tire of me
And older women put desire in me
But without â€~em to hold, where would this poor man be?

Sometimes you can't live with â€~em
But you can't live without â€~em
W O M E N


80.Pleasin' For Reason

作詞:Burton Cummings, Donald Mc Dougall

Order some cash, we've got another tour to make
Workin' so hard, just to pass the time away
Connie my love, our movie was great and so was the taste
It was pleasin' for reason

Tear me apart, like a river mad, polluted
Sad for a while, still it haunts and taunts me
My friend V.O. is keepin' me tight and up every night
It is pleasin' for reason

Should have stayed in bed this morning
Payin' much too bad
But when I think of you, when I wake up
It makes me forget what I have to do

Think I'll stay in bed this morning
Payin' much too bad
So I guess I'll dream about you, baby
And forget about where I am
And forget about who I am
I'll forget about what I am

Hello L.A., I hope Miss Dee is waiting
Lonely for a while, but she'll be round by midnight
Pickin' me up, and telling me tales of magic
She is pleasin' for reason

Try to remember just where you are
Try to remember just who you are
Try to remember just what you are


81.Pink Wine Sparkles In The Glass

作詞:Randy Bachman, Burton Cummings

The reverend who doesn't exist â€~til you need him
Smiles understandingly
McCartney and Lennon just paid all the bills
And made Great Britain free

And the pink wine sparkles in the glass
Know how small can the world be
As seen through Cleveland
Different patterns that's tall, I like them all

A bunch of young fellows from way down under
Led a journey that never could be
And NY no longer means New York City
'Cause he once said hello to me

And the pink wine sparkles in the glass
Know how small can the world be
As seen through Cleveland
Different patterns that's tall, I like them all

The color of skin still beats education
And Christmas is a time to sell
And all that we know can soon be forgotten
Because what we don't know, we can't tell

And the pink wine sparkles in the glass
Know how small can the world be
As seen through Cleveland
Different patterns that's tall, I like them all


82.Eye

作詞:Burton Cummings, Domenic Troiano

An eye can be a world
For in it are the things it sees outside
And the eye is troubled

An eye can be a time
And watch the changing patterns hurry by
And the eye is wisdom

An eye can be a clown
It makes a merry fool of merry fools
And the eye is laughing

An eye can be a soul
For in it shines the hope for things to come
And the eye is wisdom


83.Love And A Yellow Rose

作詞:Randy Bachman, Burton Cummings

Although I see her
She's baiting, baiting
Although she's gone
She's waiting, waiting

She brought me love and a yellow rose
I took her love and her yellow rose
Before the day ends the rose will die

She comes each day with the morning, morning
She leaves each night with the evening, evening

She brought me love and her yellow rose
I took her love and her yellow rose
Before the day ends the rose will die

And when the evening comes she takes her
Life and night away from me once more
I can no longer see her face once more
Before the rose will die
Please come back without the rose

Although I see her
She's baiting, baiting
Although she's gone
She's waiting, waiting

She brought me love and a yellow rose
I took her love and her yellow rose
Before the day ends the rose will die

And when the evening comes she takes her
Life and night away from me once more
I can no longer see her face once more
Before the rose will die
Please come back without the rose
Please come back without the rose


84.Ballad Of The Last Five Years

作詞:Burton Cummings

Gary lives with Rosie
And Be Bop got something old and something new
I got something fine for you every minute now
If you wanna sit right down and stick it all right through

They were gettin' tired of Johnny and all the big boys from
N.Y.C.
They say, 'Jump on board pretty baby'
And I don't know but it seems like
It might be a pretty good buzz to me

They'll help you and they'll hurt you
You're asked to leave so much behind
They say forget about tomorrow
And concentrate on everything you know you're gonna find

So move over red robin
Have you got room for one more that just can't seem to win?
There's no sense denying
That's your best reason on earth for crying
Those days will never be 'round again

There's Jackie and there's Brian
Then there's four, then there's five, and then a couple more
You be a good boy and don't drink too much
I'll show you something, maybe one trick
Later on, maybe a couple more

So step right up and put your music where your mouth is
The pretty boys can make room for one more that just can't seem
to win
There's no sense denying, that's the reason they found you
crying
Your chance will never be 'round again

But I'll help you in the meantime
Total up just what they're worth when they're gone
If you don't get it right the first time
I'll help you take one more crack at it much, much later on

'Cause Gary lives with Rosie
And Be Bop got something old and something new
I got something fine for you every minute now
If you wanna sit right down and stick it all right through


85.Miss Frizzy

作詞:Randy Bachman, Burton Cummings

Tell your city slicking cousin
Lay that peppermint twister down
Tell your city slicking cousin
Lay that peppermint twister down

She's been shakin' up my biscuits
Draggin' my feet all over town

There's some bacon in the kitchen
And a clean towel behind the door
Got some bacon in the kitchen
Got a clean towel behind the door

Yes, I'll meet you at the warehouse
Then I'll never see you no more

And it's too much for me
All that lovin' for one man
Yeah, she's too much for me
But I'll do the best I can

Well, she used to call me, 'Rascal'
But now she calls me, 'Dapper Dan'

Tell your city slicking cousin
Lay that peppermint twister down
Tell your city slicking country cousin
Lay that peppermint twister down

She's been shakin' up my biscuits
Draggin' my feet all over town

Baby, she's too much for me
All that lovin' for one man
Baby, she's too much for me
But I'll do the best I can

Well, she used to call me, 'Rascal'
But now she calls me, 'Dapper Dan'


86.We're Coming To Dinner

作詞:Randy Bachman, Burton Cummings

Hey, all you mothers
Don't be putting us down
You'd better run and tell the others

We'll be coming around your house tonight
So get the best things polished up
And make them shine

We're coming to dine
You'd better believe it
We're coming to dine

Polished up all our leathers
Even combed our hair
Thought about conversation

But just wait till we get there tonight
We'll be such fascinating guests
Food and wine

We're coming to dine
Whether you like it or not
We're coming to dine

Hey, all you mothers
Don't be putting us down
You'd better run and tell the others

We'll be coming around your house tonight
So get the best things polished up
And make them shine

We're coming to dine
You'd better believe it
We're coming to dine

Whether you like it or not
We're coming to dine
Oh yeah, oh yeah, we're coming to dine


87.One Way Road To Hell

作詞:Burton Cummings, William Wallace

Nothing much left to say at social gatherings
Nothing much left behind from the time before
Got to learn about losing and pushin' your time
And trying just a bit too hard

You're on a one way road to Hell
You're on a one way road to Hell
With every step that you been taking now
You're finding out you can't turn around

Working like the Devil at my desk all day
Wishing that my paperwork would fly away
I got a paper clip holder and my desk is clean
Woe wo wo wo wo wo wo is me

Nothing much left of faith in the Martian industry
Genuine coon skin cap was the prize before
Got to learn about selling and pushin' your luck
And trying just a bit too hard

You're on a one way road to hell
You're on a one way road to hell
And the deeper that you're diggin' now
You're finding out you can't turn around

Punching lovely buttons for my family
And if I might add, quite unregrettably
I've got a friend who's a doctor and my blood is clean
Dip dip dip dip dip hooray for me

You're on a one way road to hell
You can't turn around
What you gonna do
You're on a one way road


88.Goin' Little Crazy

作詞:Burton Cummings, Kurt Winter

Goin' a little crazy ain't too bad
These are times I've never had
Rarely good but often sad
Never knowing what we've had

Where's it all goin'?
It's all goin' a little crazy

It is really afternoon
Please don't shine on Harvest Moon
Oh my God it's much too soon
How long have we played this tune

Where's it all goin'?
It's all goin' a little crazy
Ha, ha, ha, I'm a roadie
And I'm proud to be one, folks

I can give but not receive
I can love and still deceive
There are those who soon would grieve
So I cannot take my leave

And where's it all goin'
It's all goin' a little crazy

How far away is the bin?
Sneeze


89.Dirty

作詞:Burton Cummings, Domenic Troiano

Three little piggies tryin' to run with the biggies
Got to reap what they sow someday
One got ballin' and the second kept stallin'
And the other one ran away
Now, don't you think that should've been fine?
The kicks and luxury wine but it's dirty

Don't you think that should've been swell?
Run around movin' so well but it's dirty
You'll find out you're movin' too slow
When there's no place left to go, it gets dirty

Three young babies got the rock and roll crazies
And they each went into a slide
One kept hootin' and the other kept shootin'
And the other one up and died
Now, don't you think that should've been fine?
Three cute chickies hangin' out with the sickies

Do their best now to run with the pack
One took the Navy and the other took Davie
And the other one never come back
Now don't you think that should've been fine?
The kicks and luxury wine but it's dirty


90.Diggin' Yourself

作詞:Burton Cummings, Domenic Troiano

Vote for Dan, Danny's the man
If anyone can Dan can
He's the boy, honest and fine
Danny can turn all your water to wine

He's got that certain, something everybody should try
Comes from always diggin' himself
So, take that special moment from the right time of day
And live it, till there's nothing left of it


91.Got To Find Another Way

作詞:Randy Bachman, Burton Cummings

Lost in the memories that time cannot erase
Here I can linger for a while in the trace
Of the things not too old that since have gotten cold
And the thoughts from before that told me so much more

And I've got to find another way, I've got to find another way
I've got to find another way and get along without her
Oh, I've got to find another way, got to find me another way
Got to find another way and get along without her

Friends now wouldn't mean so much me, not alone
Time to return to friendly ways and be sure
Of the things not too old that since have gotten cold
And the thoughts from before that told me so much more

And I've got to find another way, I've got to find another way
I've got to find another way and get along without her
Oh, oh, I've got to find another way, got to find me another way
Got to find another way and get along without her

And I've got to find another way, got to find me another way
Got to find another way and get along without her
Oh, oh, I've got to find another way, got to find another way
Got to find another way and get along without her

Oh, oh, I've got to find another way, got to find another way
Change everything I'm thinking, change everything I'm doing
Got to go back, go back when, find out what was wrong
And come back then change everything I'm thinking about her
Forget everything I said about her, got to find another way
Change maybe then, maybe today


92.Humpty's Blues

作詞:Randy Bachman, Burton Cummings, M.j. Kale, Garry Peterson

Woke up late this morning
Found out my people gone away from me
Nobody anywhere I looked
Woke up late one morning
Found out my people gone away
Spinning 'round in circles
Oh how I hate to be alone
It's no good

Looking all around me
Trying to find out where ev'rybody's gone
Can't find anybody
Looking all around me
Trying to find out where the hell ev'rybody's gone
Can't find anybody now
Spinning 'round in circles
Oh how I hate to be alone
Can't stand being all alone

If I could have been a carpenter
Could have run around looking for things to fix
Way back a long time ago if I could have been a carpenter
I could have found a lot of things to fix
Fix 'em all up now
Didn't end up bein' no carpenter
And that's why they call me
Humpty mix


93.Proper Stranger

作詞:Randy Bachman, Burton Cummings

Dark day, windy city
Raincoat on my shoulder

So take my hand and show me where to go
'Cause don't you know, I'm the proper stranger

Traffic lights, dusty sidewalks
Freeway people on the move

Oh, no, no, no
So take my hand and show me where to go
'Cause don't you know, I'm the proper stranger

I'm the proper stranger
Nobody knows my face or knows my name
Nobody knows where I'm goin' or how I came

Lost and found, no one claimed me
All alone with a million others

Oh, so take my hand and show me where to go
'Cause don't you know, I'm the proper stranger

Broke my mind, had no spare
Nothing left and no tomorrow

Oh, no, no, no
So take my hand and show me where to go
'Cause don't you know, I'm the proper stranger


94.When Friends Fall Out

作詞:Randy Bachman, Burton Cummings

The lone wolves howl
On Moonlight Bay
Dark moon is out

When friends fall out
When friends fall out

Birds aren't alone
You've past all doubts
Their world has grown

When friends fall out
When friends fall out

A journey is plastic for someone
Who's walking on air
He falls through elastic
And there is no net waiting there

And it's so nice to be home again
So nice to be home again
Where I belong

No night, no day
No in, no out
No work, no play

When friends fall out
When friends fall out
(Listen to me talkin')

When friends fall out
(Baby, you got nothin')
When friends fall out

And it's so nice to be home again
So nice to be home again
Where I belong


95.Rosanne

作詞:Burton Cummings, Domenic Troiano

Rosanne, I gotta take it on the lam
What do you think you been doin'?
Rosanne, you need another kind of man
What do you think you been doin'?

I left my evil ways back in my burnin' days
Nights were spent just to hold you
You left your lovin' charms in someone else's arms
What do you think you been doin', you're my ruin, Rosanne?

The way a lovebird flies a foolish heart just dies
Trapped in your situation
There's nothin' I can say, I guess it's been that way
Since the dawn of creation

Rosanne, I gotta take it on the lam
What do you think you been doing'
Rosanne, you need another kind of man
What do you think you been doing', you're my ruin, Rosanne?

Could have prevented all this
If we had taken the time
Could have prevented all this
If we had made up our minds, Rosanne

Rosanne, I gotta take it on the lam
What do you think you been doing'?
Rosanne, you need another kind of man
What do you think you been doing'?

I left my evil ways back in my burnin' days
Nights were spent just to hold you
You left your lovin' charms in someone else's arms
What do you think you been doin', you're my ruin, Rosanne?

Could have prevented all this
If we had taken the time
Could have prevented all this
If we had made up our minds, oh

Rosanne, I gotta take it on the lam
What do you think you been doing'?
Rosanne, you need another kind of man
What do you think you been doing'?

I left my evil ways back in my burnin' days
Nights were spent just to hold you
You left your lovin' charms in someone else's arms
What do you think you been doin', you're my ruin?

Rosanne, I gotta take it on the lam
What do you think you been doing'?
Rosanne, you need another kind of man
What do you think you been doing'?

Rosanne, I gotta get it while I can
'Fore I know I'll be ruined
Rosanne, I gotta take it on the lam
What do you think you been doing'?

Rosanne, you need another kind of man
What do you think you been doing'?
Rosanne, I gotta get it while I can


96.When the Band Was Singin' Shakin' All Over

作詞:Burton Cummings, Domenic Troiano

Well, now they started Skinny Minnie and it turned to Ginny,
Ginny
With the Dizzy Miss Lizzy Blues
She smiled while we were strollin' and I knew that I was rollin'
Had to tell my big buddy the news

It's not the magic
It's not the music
It's not the moonlight

I don't know when I felt like this before
About ten years time ago
When the band was singin', 'Shakin' All Over'
When the band was singin', 'Shakin' All Over'

Well, now they gave us Juicy Lucy and we did the Watusi
In a rockin' pair of blue suede shoes
What she don't know won't hurt her even though I might desert
her
Got to tell my best buddy the news

It's not the magic
It's not the music
It's not the moonlight

I don't know, I think I've only felt like this one time before
About ten long years ago
When the band was singin', 'Shakin' All Over'
When the band was singin', 'Shakin' All Over'

It's not the magic
It's not the music
It's not the moonlight

I don't know, I think I've only felt like this one time before
So long ago that I can hardly remember
When the band was singin', 'Shakin' All Over'

When the band was singin', 'Shakin' All Over'
When the band was singin', 'Shakin' All Over'
When the band was singin', 'Shakin' All Over'
...


97.Long Gone

作詞:Burton Cummings, Domenic Troiano

Who in the hell are you to criticize?
Every day and every night you're just a drag
You've been long gone, long gone

You are working from a point of depression
Isn't it amazing when you find you're slipping?
You've been long gone, long gone

I guess, you've always been a power-hungry specimen
You were raised with rank in mind
I'd gladly give away everything I've ever owned
For the chance to stab you from behind

'Cause I'm tired of what you're saying
It's not worth the paper it's printed on
It just doesn't cut it anymore

Each time the sun greets the new dawning
I'll try to kick you while you're down
Welcome to the Kingdom of Hatred
You'll find out soon that I wear the crown

I'm tired of what you been sayin'
It's not worth the time to discuss it
You just don't cut it anymore

Who in the hell are you to criticize?
You're still learning how to form an opinion
You've been long gone, long gone


98.Maple Fudge

作詞:Randy Bachman, Burton Cummings

Miss Fudge is only waiting for a man to come her way
She has been waiting 80 years for Mr. Maple
But he doesn't know that she is waiting too
It's nothing new

Mr. Maple gets up early every morning
Cooks his breakfast all alone the house is cold
He needs a woman's hand to comfort him in his reclining years
He overhears

The people on the street they pass him by and sort of snicker
In his younger years he should have been a little quicker
For in the hand of someone he could love but who's to judge
If he'll ever have a meeting with Miss Fudge

Miss Fudge's hopes were fading that a man would come her way
She had been darning no ones socks
And when the years crept up her misery
Just slowly pushed her on and now she's gone

Mr Maple's life alone was just too much for him to bear
And in his heart he knew there'd never be
Someone to comfort him at times he cried
And then he died

But everything is better now, they're both at last together
The question now is answered for all those who wondered whether
They each at last had found a friend and if they did misjudge
Their tombstones side by side read Maple Fudge


99.Truckin' Off Across the Sky

作詞:Burton Cummings, M.j. Kale, Donald Mc Dougall, Garry
Peterson, Kurt Winter

Come on
Get on board, the Reaper wants to take you'll for a ride
Baby, get on board, Reaper wants to take you'll for a ride
His private train is leaving to slip you to the other side

He's got cocaine and morphine too
Lots of stuff to get you'll high
Little pink pills in a big brown bag
Truckin' off across the sky
Baby goin', truckin' off across the sky

Now if you feel like a disaster when you wake up in the morning
Nothing but a goddamn monkey wrench inside your head
Got some things to make you go faster, others make you go slower
Open your eyes, take a drop, take away the red

He's got cocaine and morphine too
Lots of stuff to get you'll high
Little pink pills in a big brown bag
Truckin' off across the sky
Baby goin', truckin' off across the sky

He's got cocaine and morphine too
Lots of stuff to get you'll high, high, high, high
Little pink pills in a big brown bag
Truckin' off across the sky
Baby goin', truckin' off across the sky

He's got cocaine and morphine too
Lots of stuff to get you'll high, high, high, high
Little pink pills in a big brown bag
Truckin' off across the sky
Baby goin', truckin' off across the sky

He's got cocaine and morphine too
Lots of stuff to get you'll high, high, high, high
Little pink pills in a big brown bag
Truckin' off across the sky
Baby goin', truckin' off across the sky

He's goin' truckin' off across the sky
He's goin' truckin' off across the sky
He's goin' sailin' off across the sky


100.Moan For You Joe

作詞:Burton Cummings, Greg Leskiw

I told you long ago
To stop comin' round
Your drinking and your gambling
Are a constant down

You're mock educated
And you're mock well read
Your mouth keeps moving
Not a word gets said

And it drags me down
To see you mess yourself this way
And I moan for you
Watching you every day

I told you long ago
To stop comin' round
Your drinking and your gambling
Are a constant down

You're mock educated
And you're mock well read
Your mouth keeps moving
Not a word gets said

And it drags me down
To see you mess yourself this way
And I moan for you
Watching you every day


101.I Found Her In A Star

作詞:Burton Cummings

If I could find the road I'm looking for some day
Then I'd be happy
And I'd be thankful to the person on my own

For showing me the way that I could walk
Between the right and wrong roads
And I'd be thankful to the person on my own

Times I would wonder where I was bound
I'd look to the future by turning around
By turning around

I found her in a star
I didn't have to look very far but I know now
I found her in a star
I didn't have to look very far but I'm sure now

If I find the road I'm looking for some day
Then I'll be happy
And I'll be thankful to the person on my own

For showing me the way that I could walk
Between the right and wrong roads
And I'll be thankful to the person on my own

I found her in a star
I didn't have to look very far but I know now
I found her in a star
I didn't have to look very far but I'm sure now

I found her in a star


102.Friends Of Mine

作詞:Randy Bachman, Burton Cummings

Friends of mine don't have the time for food or wine
Just money is on their minds
Life is sweet on a one-way street
They're indiscreet and funny, they'll never meet

B-bay, b-bay, b-bay, b-bay, bay, baby

I gotta get a two-ton truck
I gotta get a two-ton truck
I gotta get a two-ton truck
I gotta get a two-ton truck

I gotta do it to a duck on a two-ton truck
And fade away like Ron Rene
Alright, alright

You got the magical mystery tour
You got the magical mystery tour
You got the magical mystery tour
You got the magical mystery tour

And Kurt is the Walrus
And Kurt is the Walrus
And the Walrus does funny things to the veins in his left arm
Alright

And Michael is now a father, alright
And Michael is now a proud father, alright
And my good friend Michael is now a proud father
And Michael is now a father, alright
And that means Michael's wife is a mother, alright

Up the thirteen steps of the gallows
Walked the condemned man
And time passes very quickly when death is near

After having completed the first step
The condemned man knew there were but twelve left
Before he would meet death and his soul would leave his body
And after having completed the thirteen steps

The condemned man was met by a giant cloaked figure
And with a quick flick of the wrist, the man was dead
And his soul left his body and went down, down, down
To a place we laughingly refer to as hell

But none of us will ever go there
Because we're all far too groovy
The man's body was left to rot on the gallows
And a great multitude of black birds came
And picked the man's corpse apart

Piece by piece, limb by limb
Until nothing remained
And his blood melted into the ground below

The gallows was made from a tree created by God
The man's blood dripped into the ground
Which was created by God
Even the giant cloaked figure which was the man's own end
Was created by God

Even the man's soul which went down was created by God
Even the black birds which picked the man's corpse apart
Were created by God
And where was God?

In Flanders Fields, the poppies grow
Between the crosses row on row
To mark the dead

To Flanders Fields, the hippies go
To smoke the poppies there below
And feed their heads

And they're all friends of mine
Each and every one of them
No better or no worse
And we'll probably end up down there together when it's all over

And that's why we say
B-bay, b-bay, b-bay, b-bay, b-baby

It's all over and it's all right


103.Talisman

作詞:Randy Bachman, Burton Cummings

Trinket worn with colors matching saddened eyes
Has lost its magic touch
People from a distant hill
Have crossed an ever-stretching sea of sand
Artificial flowers cannot die
For life within them is illusion

Talisman, talisman grace my hand
Talisman grace my hand

Figures made of pedigrees
Control the non-existent soul of John Smith
Walk the creature let it run
But slacken not the rope to which it's bound
Ships in bottles cannot sail
And neither can a tombstone kill a feather

Talisman, talisman grace my hand
Talisman grace my hand

Kings are nothing more without the glory
And the wealth behind their thinking
Let me feel the choice of seeing
Dawn or setting sun before I die
Myriads of painted faces
Rush behind the eye of the uncertain

Talisman, talisman grace my hand
Talisman grace my hand

Let me live only to do
And let me do only to live
My steel image comes with the sun
And that's where it slumbers now

Talisman, talisman grace my hand
Talisman grace my hand


104.Nobody Knows His Name

作詞:Burton Cummings, Domenic Troiano

Nobody knows his name
Starting it over is never the same
Nobody knows his name
They just might someday

Pullin' up stakes 1893
County Cork in Ireland, way across the sea
Future made of dreams, wishes and a prayer
Knowing soon the one he loves will join him there

Over and over now he dreams of his bride to be
Over and over he prays that the life
They find is what he hoped it would be

Through the good and bad he stayed to make a stand
Things are never easy in a virgin land
Gettin' every day proud as he can be
Caring and providing for his family

Year after year he works to give them everything he can
Year after year he works so
He'll never have to be someone else's man

Nobody knows his name
Starting it over is never the same
Nobody knows his name
They just might someday


105.Straighten Out

作詞:Burton Cummings, William Wallace

Well, you asked me to be your escort baby
On graduation day
Wrote me a note and here's what you wrote
You cried boo hoo hoo
And your tears were killin' me, babe
Wah wah wah

I think you better straighten out, gimme a break
Straighten out, if you can
I heard you knockin' but you couldn't come in
And we went walkin' down the road to the bin
That was when you were ten, now is now, then was then
Ha ha ha

Well, I telephoned you and I asked
If I might just happen to be your chaperon
To the Highbridge comin' out do
You said goodbye and I began to cry
I said boo hoo hoo
'Cause your leavin' was shakin' me up
Wah wah wah

I think you better straighten out


106.Song Of The Dog

Gonna leave the city
Leave my woman troubles far behind
Gonna leave the city
Leave my woman troubles far behind

One time she say she love me
Next day treat me so unkind

I hop down to the station
Get me a leavin' ticket just one way
I hop down to the station
Get me a leavin' ticket just one way

One time she say she love me
Next day say,'Little boy, go away'
