1.Too Many Myths
作詞:Morrison Van
Too many myths
People just assuming things that aren't true
There's too many myths
Coming between me and you
You might have your name up in lights
But you still have to keep your game uptight
Too many myths
Tell me, tell me how you gonna cope with this
Too many myths
You act like you've never been kissed
You put your name up in lights
And now you gotta keep your game uptight
You got problems
I got problems too
Everybody's gonna think
There must be something wrong with you
Because there's just too many myths
Can't you see I'm just trying to stay in the game
Just too many myths
I'm just trying to maintain
Sure I got my name in lights
But I've still gotta keep my game uptight
You got problems
And I got problems too
But that doesn't necessarily mean that
There's something wrong with you
There's just too many myths
Baby, I'm just trying to stay in the game
There's far too many myths
I'm just trying to maintain
I got my name up in lights
But I'm just trying to keep my game uptight
2.Somerset
作詞:Bilk Acker, Collett David John Leppard, Morrison Van
We met, deep down in Somerset
A time I can't forget
When we were sippin' cider in the shade
Oh, the sun was setting in the West
You looked your very best that night
Stars were shining in your eyes
And we walked, walked all along the sand
And it felt, felt like a wonderland
And when the summer breeze was gone
The memory lingered on
You and me down in Somerset
Oh we walked, walked and walked and walked all along the sand
And it felt just like our love just began
And when the summer breeze was gone
The memory lingered on, me and you
When the summer set
We met an' we met, we met deep down in Somerset
A time I can't forget
When we were sippin' cider in the shade
3.Magic Time
作詞:Van Morrison
Don't lose the wonder in your eyes
I can see it right now when you smile
Let me go back, for a while
Let me go back, for a while
To that magic time
You can call it nostalgia, I don't mind
Standing on that windswept hillside
Listenin' to the church bells chime
Listen to the church bells chime
In that magic time
Oh the road it never ends
Good to see you my old friend
Once again we sit right down and share the wine
Shivers up and down my spine
It's a feeling so divine
Let me go back for a while
Got to go back for a while
To that magic time
Oh the road it never ends
Good to see you my old friend
Once again we'll sit down and share the wine
And we'll go back in your prime
The sun is gonna shine
When we go back for a while
When we go back for a while
To that magic time
Don't lose the wonder in your eyes
It's right there when you smile
Got to go back, for a while
Got to go back, for a while
To that magic time
Call it nostalgia, I don't mind
Standing on that windswept hillside
Listenin' to the church bells chime
Listenin' to the church bells chime
In that magic time
If we go back, for a while
Let me go back, for a while
To that magic time
4.Evening Train
作詞:Van Morrison
Love to hear that evening train go by
Love to hear that evening train go by
Especially when my baby's in my mind
Love to hear that lonesome whistle blow
Love to hear that lonesome whistle blow
When I make my way on down the road
My my, bye bye
Don't cry, don't sigh
When you hear that evening train go by, alright
Love to hear that evening train on time
Love to hear that evening train on time
Especially when there's worries are on my mind
My my, don't cry
Why why, don't sigh
When you hear that evening train go by, alright
Love to see those fields I used to roam
Love to see those fields I used to roam
Then I know I'm on my way back home
My my, goodbye
Don't cry, don't sigh
When you hear that evening train go by
One more time
When you hear that evening train go by
5.This Love of Mine
作詞:Sol Parker, Henry W. Sanicola, Frank Sinatra
This love of mine goes on and on
Though life is empty since you have gone
You're always on my mind, though out of sight
It's lonesome through the day but oh the lonely night
I cry my heart out it's bound to break
Since nothing matters, just let it break
I ask the sun and the moon and the stars that shine
What's to become of it, this love of mine?
I cry my heart out it's bound to break
'Cause since nothing matters, go ahead and let it break
I ask the sun and the moon and all the stars that shine
What's to become of it?
What's to become of it?
What's to become of it, this love of mine?
6.Ain't Nothin' You Can Do
作詞:Deadric Malone, Joe Scott
When you got a headache
And you try to soothe the pain
Go right back to sleep
And you'll feel alright again
When you got a backache
Little rubbin' will see you through
When you got a heartache
There ain't nothin' you can do
There ain't nothin' you can do
There ain't nothin' you can do
When you got a heartache
There ain't nothin' you can do
A man can't break a stone
So he tried another lick
Iceman can't break his ice, Lord
So he tries another pick
Your electric lights go out
A candle light will see you through
When you got a heartache
There ain't nothin' you can do
There ain't nothin' you can do
There ain't nothin' you can do
When you got a heartache
There ain't nothin' you can do, hey
Man can't break a stone
So he tried another lick
Iceman can't break his ice, Lord
So he tried another pick
'Lectric lights go out
A candle light will see you through

7.They Sold Me Out
作詞:Van Morrison
Sold me out for a few shekels and divided up my robes
They sold me out
It's the oldest story that's ever been told
They sold me out
Didn't even give it no shred of doubt, no, no
They sold me out
Didn't even sit down and try to figure it out
They just sold me out
For the few shekels more, they didn't even think twice
For a few shekels more, another minute in the spotlight
My own people did it to me just 'cos they could
They sold me out
So beware brother it could happen to you
They sold me out
For the few shekels more, they didn't even think twice
Just for a few shekels more, another minute of two in the
spotlight
My own people did it to me just 'cos they could
They sold me out
Got to beware brother it just might happen to you
They sold me out
Sold me out for a few shekels and they divided up my robes
They sold me out
It's the oldest story that's ever been told
They sold me out
Sold me out for a few shekels and divided up my robes
They sold me out
It's the oldest story that's ever been known
They sold me out
They sold me out
They sold me out
They sold me out
8.All Work And No Play
作詞:Morrison Van
All work and no play
Makes Jack a dull chap
When it comes to the crunch
It's too much I've got to stop
No pain and no gain it's driving me insane
I'd like to be somewhere else
Like to be all by myself
Like to be down at the beach
Relaxing at the sugar shack
Hot dogs coffee black
Coca cola kicking back
I'm just a wild and crazy guy
But I'm tearing at the seams
Before you can say Jack Robinson
I'll be seeing you in my dreams
She's on a blanket with a book
In the shade, white suit
Happy hour at the bar
And I'm jamming with some friends
We're up to the same tricks
Drinking cocktails getting our kicks
Later on by the pool
Looking good ah, be cool
There's no craic double back
Moving on down the track
Moving on down the line
Got to chill out in style
Got to ease my troubled mind
Thinking just might be a crime
All work and no play
Makes Jack a dull chap
When it comes to the crunch
It's too much I've got to stop
No pain no gain it's all going
Down the drain
9.What Makes The Irish Heart Beat
作詞:Van Morrison
All that trouble all that grief that's why I had to leave
Staying away too tong is in defeat
Why I'm singing this song, why I'm heading back home?
That's what makes the Irish heart beat
I'm just like a hobo riding a train, I'm like a gangster living
in Spain
Have to watch my back and I'm running out of time
When I roll the dice again if lady luck will call my name
That's what makes the Irish heart beat
Well that's what makes it beat, when I'm standing on the street
And I'm standing underneath this Wrigley's sign
Oh, so far away from home but I know I've got to roam
That's what makes the Irish heart beat
And it was off to foreign climes on the Piccadilly line
We were standing underneath the Wrigley's sign
So far away from home, well I know I've got to roam
That s what makes the Irish heart beat
Just like a sailor out on the foam any port in a storm
Where we tend to burn the candle at both ends
Down the corridors of fame like the spark ignites the flame
That's what makes the Irish heart beat
But I roll the dice again, if lady luck will call my name
That s what makes the Irish heart beat
Oh, that's what makes the Irish heart beat
That's what makes the Irish heart beat
10.Stepping Out Queen Part II
作詞:Morrison Van
It seems like it must have been something that I said
Something that somebody must have done
This is a song, it's got a whole lot of soul
When I seen you by the way before in New York City
I think it was on Eighth Street, right?
Or was it in San Francisco, whatever
Always put the first one first
And the second one second
Come in the garden and look at the flowers
That's what you were saying, right?
Come in my garden and look at the flowers
We can just sit and talk for hours and hours
Come in my garden, come in my garden
Come in my garden
Come in my, come in my, come in my garden
Come in my, come in my, come in my garden
Come in my garden, come in my garden
Look at the flowers, we can just sit and talk and feel
As the sun come over the valley
As the sun come over the valley
I believe, I like the way
I like your face from the left side
As you go, as you go
Stepping out queen, stepping out queen
It's just a windfall away, it's just a windfall away
It's a windfall away
As you, as you, as you, as you go, as you go
Stepping out queen
Let me see you step out
Come on
As you go stepping out queen
You can promenade
You can promenade
When you step with a little bit of hip action
You go stepping out queen
Just a little bit of hip for the trip
As you go steppin' out queen
I said give me a little bit of shoulder slide, come on
Da, dada, do dodo, do dodo, do dodo, do doo
Come on baby I just wanna reach out
I wanna reach out and touch you, I don't wanna talk
Do do do do do do do do do do do do do
11.Once A Day
作詞:Bill Anderson
When you found somebody new I thought I never would
Forget you for I thought then that I never could
But time has taken all my pain away
Until now I'm down to hurtin' once a day
Once a day, all day long
And once a night from dusk till dawn
The only time I wish that you weren't gone
Is once a day, every day, all day long
And I'm so glad I'm not like a friend that I knew one time
He lost the one he loved and then he slowly lost his mind
Sat around and cried his life away
Lucky me, I'm only hurtin' once a day
Once a day, all day long
And once a night from dusk till dawn
The only time I wish that you weren't gone
Once a day, every day, all day long
Once a day, all day long
And once a night from dusk till dawn
The only time I wish that you weren't gone
Once a day, every day, all day long
Once a day, every day, all day long
Once a day, every day, all day long
12.Big Blue Diamonds
作詞:Earl Carson
Blue diamonds, big blue diamonds on her finger
Instead of a little band of gold
Big diamonds, big blue diamonds
Tell the story of the love that no one man could hold
She wanted more than I had money to buy
So she left me sad and lonely, I am told
Big diamonds, big blue diamonds
Now she'll trade them for the love behind a little band of gold
Blue diamonds, big blue diamonds, how they sparkle
But what can they do to warm your heart and soul?
When you're lonesome in the moonlight and you want lovin', yea
Big blue diamonds, don't they seem so reckless and bold?
I'd gladly do my part to mend her broken heart
But a love that's warmed over soon grows cold
Big diamonds, big blue diamonds, I don't want them, no
Oh, I just want a love behind a little band of gold
13.Take Your Hand Out Of My Pocket
作詞:Sonny Boy Williamson (#2)
Take your hand outta my pocket, baby
I ain't got nothin' that belong to you
Take your hand outta my pocket
I ain't got nothin' that belong to you
Don't take your hand out
I'm gonna call the police on you
I got hip to your record
The first thirty five seconds I got in town
I got hip, hip to your record
First thirty five seconds that I got in town
If you don't take your fingers off my wallet
I believe the man, gonna take you down, whoa, yeah
I don't mean anybody no harm
I just want what belong to me
I don't mean no one, no harm, no, no
I just want, just want what belong to me
So, if ya take your hand outta my pocket, oh
I'll ask the judge to set you free
Oh, yeah
14.Lonely and Blue
作詞:Harry Brooks, Andy Razaf, Thomas Waller
Old empty bed, spring's hard as lead
Something I said made you see red
What did I do to feel so lonely and blue?
Even the mouse, up and ran from the house
Laughed at me so scornfully
What did I do to feel this lonely and blue?
I cried and I sighed
But that don't help my game, no, no, no, no
I tried to hide
But things don't seem the same, oh
How will it end? I ain't got no friend
My only sin is in your grin
Oh what did I do to feel this lonely and blue?
I cried and I sighed
But that don't, don't help my game
I tried to hide
Things don't seem the same, oh
How will it end? Ain't got no friend
My only sin is in your grin
Oh what did I do to feel so lonely and blue?
Oh yeah

作詞:Van Morrison
The wine beneath the bed
The things we've done and said
And all the memories
That come glancing back to me
In my loneliness, standing in the bridge
Beyond that stretch but our love reach
And consciousness has found me
Sometimes wondering where you're at
Take me back again
Take me back one more time, Spanish Rose
The way you pulled the gate
Behind you, when you said, 'It ain't too late
Come on, let's swing the town
And have a ball tonight'
And hopin' you'd come through
And many others too
And all the friends we used to have
In days gone by, I'm wondering
If you'll take me back again
Take me back one more time, Spanish Rose
And when the lights went out there
No one was about
And all the country in full bloom
In the room we danced
And many hearts were torn
And when the word went 'round
That everything was wrong
And just couldn't be put right
It tore me up, it tore me up, Lord
Plumber, you did sleep
The window I did creep
And touch your raven hair
And sang that song again to you
You did not even wince
You thought I was the prince
To come and take you from your misery
And lonely castle wall
Take me back again
Take me back one more time, Spanish Rose

But I'm comin' back
With a ginger cat
What'd ya think a that?
Hey girl, I'm goin' away
But I'm comin' back
By the railroad track
Where the trains go by
And we sang and cry in gloom
Boom, chick-a-boom
(Chick-a-boom, chick-a-boom)
Hey, girl

So deep and wide
My baby's standing, Lord
On the other side
Oh, but now she's gone, gone, gone
