1.That Year
作詞:Jay Farrar, Mike Heidorn, Jeff Tweedy
Thousand times I lived before were just in my dreams
Well, I woke up to realize it didn't mean a thing
I've seen several better places, several better times
Somehow those memories got left behind
Give me back that year, good or bad
Give me back something that I, never knew I had
I guess it all boils down to it was just a second guess
So God damn long ago it's hard to feel I did my best
And I think of our relationship and all is just in task
And why I can't see that anymore in your eyes
Give me back that year, good or bad
Give me back something that I, never knew I had
Well, I sit and watch it go by
Well, I sit and watch shit go by
Go by
That year
2.Sin City
作詞:Chris Hillman, Gram Parsons
This old town is filled with sin, it'll swallow you in
If you've got some money to burn, so take it home right away
You've got three years to pay, but Satan is waiting his turn
This old earthquake's gonna leave me in the poor house
It seems like this whole town's insane
On the thirty-first floor a gold plated door
Won't keep out the Lord's burning rain
The scientists say it'll all wash away but we don't believe any
more
'Cause we've got our recruits and our green mohair suits
So please show you ID at the door
This old earthquake's gonna leave me in the poor house
It seems like this whole town's insane
On the thirty-first floor a gold plated door
Won't keep out the Lord's burning rain
Friend came around tried to clean up this town
His ideas made some people mad, 'cause he trusted his crowd
So he spoke right out loud, and they lost the best friend they
had
This old earthquake's gonna leave me in the poor house
It seems like this whole town's insane
On the thirty-first floor a gold plated door
Won't keep out the Lord's burning rain
On the thirty-first floor a gold plated door
Won't keep out the Lord's burning rain
3.Sauget Wind
作詞:Jay Farrar
It's a long way to heaven
It's a short way to hell
Painkillers won't help
When the weight's not yourself
They're poisoning the air
For personal wealth
It's a long way to heaven
It's a short way to hell
I don't know what I'm breathing for
'Cause the air around here ain't so good anymore
The weatherman says fair
But he looks like a lie
Nothing's free in this country
And there's no place to hide, no more
Industrial wind
It blows from the west
It'll burn out your eyes
And suck out your breath
It's waiting in the wings
For damage down the line
Save your tears for the soaps
Leave your money behind
I don't know what I'm breathing for
'Cause the air around here ain't so good anymore
The weatherman says fair
But he looks like a lie
Nothing's free in this country
And there's no place to hide, no more
No place to hide, no more
4.I Wanna Destroy You
作詞:Robyn Hitchcock
I wanna destroy you
I wanna destroy you
I wanna destroy you
I wanna destroy you
I feel it comin' on again
Just like it did before
They feed your pride with boredom
Then they lead you off to war
The way we treat each other
Really makes me feel ill
'Cause if you're gonna fight
Then you're just dying to get killed
I wanna destroy you
I wanna destroy you
A box upon the media
And everything you read
They tell you your opinions
And they're very good indeed
I wanna destroy you
When I have destroyed you
And I'm pickin' at your bones
And you won't have a single item
Left to call your own
I wanna destroy you
I wanna destroy you
I wanna destroy you
I wanna destroy you
I wanna destroy you
5.I Got Drunk
作詞:Jay Farrar, Jeff Tweedy, Mike Heidorn
Well I took a fifth and I poured me a shot
And I thought about all the things that I haven't got
And I drank that down, I poured me some more
Kept drinking and pouring till I felt the floor
I got drunk and I fell down
I got drunk and I fell down
Another slow day in this damn town
Keep asking yourself, why am I still hangin' around?
You spend half your time just staring into a beer
Oh what you need, you know, you can't find here
I got drunk and I fell down
I got drunk and I fell down
Well I took a fifth and I poured me a shot
And I thought about all the things that I haven't got
And I drank that down and I poured me some more
Kept drinking and pouring till I felt the floor
I got drunk and I fell down
I got drunk and I fell down
I got drunk and I fell down
I got drunk and I fell down
6.Take My Word
作詞:Joe Bishop, Woody Herman
7.Looking For A Way Out
when you find you can't somehow
make it like all the rest
you won't need to scrounge aroundfor someone else
torn between the unknown
and the place that you call home
and the life you want but have never known
there was a time
you could put it out of your mind
leave it all behind
there was a time
that time is gone
what has a life of fifty years
in this town done for you
except to earn your nameand place on a barstool
you spent your whole life in this county
you've never been out of state
you say you're gonna make it outbefore it's too late
there was a time
you could put it out of your mind
leave it all behind
there was a time
that time is gone
there was a time when nothing seemedto make much sensethat's
turned more intense
and all the crutches you've kept around
now are nowhere to be found
remember when you didn't have
to look ahead or behind you
there was always something right there to do
but now it's life in some kind of traplooking for a way out
well, you keep moving onthat's what it's all about
there was a time
you could put it out of your mind
leave it all behind
there was a time
that time is gone
