1. Temporary Jones
I think of temporary jones
A reckless soul nobody owns
They say he s slightly off the beam
A dreamer following a dream
No flies on temporary jones
The open road is in his bones
Are solid citizens like me
Onsidered happier than he?
He feels he only has one lifetime
With a world of things to do here
And it s crazy to be tied down
When we re only passing through here
Only passing through here
I often wonder where he is
With that philosophy of his
He s one of nature s rolling stones
I envy temporary jones
2. Love Song
You, of everyone i've known
The only one who's shown me the way
I can only say that i....
I like you
You, with kindness and a smile
Have given more to me and for a while
I can only say that i...
I like you
In a world that does not care
You're with me
Maybe we can leave some love behind
You need never have to fear
That i will ever go away from you
I can only say that i...
I love you
3. Crazy Way To Spend A Year
What am i doing here
Sitting on a folding chair
Plastic cups of coffee rare
Everybody drinking beer
What am i doing here
Soaking up the atmosphere
Trying hard to disappear
A crazy way to spend a year
Ten days out is much too long
If it s right then what is wrong?
Sleep will help this feelings fly
Mornings tend to keep me high
What am i doing here
Furthering my career
Wish that i were anywhere
Under some intensive care
What am i doing here
Feel like a volunteer
Motivation insincere
A crazy way to spend a year
Feel like the world s caving in
I don t know when i ll laugh again
This life costs too much of me
You and i instead of we
4. Until The Time Runs Out
It seems like yesterday
We were together everyday
Until she passed away
And now I'm all lone
No love, no one to call my own
My children never phone
But there's a place
Where I can qo
It's really lovely
Some qood old boys
I used to know
We all aqree
Frequent afternoons we spend
Bowlinq the qreen
We all play till the end
Till the time runs out
Until the time runs out
You know it's such a shame
The years
A lifetime playinq qames
While the world qoes up in flames
5. Skinny Boy
When i was a young skinny boy
My mama said to me
The world out there is hard and dirty
Mean as it wants to be
I know there s gonna be times when you re down and out
So listen now kid, listen my son
I ll tell you what it s all about
chorus:
You got try to keep your head above the water
You got to try to keep a step ahead of time
And even though you ll do some things you shouldn t ought to
If you love your brothers, love ll come back to you
I ve lived my life in so many ways
To find out who i am
Time s approaching i really can say
I truly understand
I know i got more living to do for myself
To run along now, play along later
And stay off of the shelf
I know the world is turning slow
And slowly it will die
But that s something i never will see
I don t know why
I m trying to take the world the best i can
To fight a bit now, love a bit later
And stand up like a man
6. One Step Forward Two Steps Back
One step forward
Two steps back
Instant replay
Sneak attacK
Life's a fooler
White is black
One step forward
Two riqht back
Trust in the big circle game
In the sky
To save us aqain and aqain
As we try
One step forward
Two steps back
In the space of one year
It beqins to appear
That the world which we knew
Grew much colder
It's too qood to be true
And I think over due
So the new point of view
Is the older
7. Fireplace And Ivy
Fireplace and ivy
Piano nearby
Funny paper walls for your eyes
Persian rug to sleep on
Windows to the west and south
A perfect place to drink our coffee
And talk and dream
So much had begun
I sang the words and played the tunes
And walked down the hill
To that corner place
All those nights
Closer to the people
But crying inside knowing i would have to go
Never wanting to
Oh please be sure of that,
Leaving was insane i know
That secret place for us to grow and cry
When the time came there was nothing to say
8. Someday I'm Gonna Go
Someday I'm gonna go
Someday I'm gonna go
Far away, far away, far away
Far, far away
I'm gonna go
Far away
Someday I'm gonna go
Someday I'm gonna go
Far away, far away, far away
Far, far away
I'm gonna go
Far away
I'm gonna go
I'm gonna go far away
Did you ever see
Did you ever want to see
The way it used to be
Did you ever try
Did you ever try
And there was nothing
There was nothing
There was nothing there
Nothing there
Did you ever run,
Did you ever want to run,
And hide youself away
Did you ever cry
Did you ever cry
'Cause there was nothing
There was nothing
There was nothing there
Nothing there
9. A Lifetime We
I found my way
You saved the day
I m gonna stay, my lady
'Cause you always want to play me
Matinee me
You gave me blue
And yellow too
You sweet zazou, you re shady
'Cause you love to overdo me
Rendezvous me
We realize we harmonize
What it means to be each other
Always together as one
We have the time
Tequila and lime
Approaching our prime, my lady
No telling how high we ll climb, we
A lifetime we
10. City Living
City living
Just about to break me down
With the noise and the cars
And the dirtu streets
Ain't it sweet
In the city
In the city
In the city
City living
Crazy way to spend your time
With the fun and the girls
Tryin' to do it all
You're very small
In the city
In the city
In the city
City is a lovely place to hide
Everyone will take you for a ride
No place else can keep you satisfied
City living
Never quite without surprise
With the good and the bad
And the Avant Garde
It's very hard
In the city
In the city
In the city
11. Crazy Brother John *
A gentleman came over the sea
To a valley full of flowers
Where he courted ladies three
One of them was dressed in red
He asked if she would share his bed
One of them was dressed in green
He asked if she would be his queen
The last wore only white
He asked if she would be his delight
She said yes
You may go ask my father the king
And you must ask my mother the queen
So you must ask my sister anne
But do not forget my brother john
He s a strange boy
And so he asked her father the king
And then he asked her mother the queen
And so he asked her sister anne
But he forgot her brother john
Crazy boy
Her father led them to the hall
Her mother danced before them all
Her sister led them to the courtyard
And sat her on a horse
( for the getaway of course )
it s then john drew his flashing knife
And robbed the fair maid of her life
Now she neither sighs nor moans
She lies beneath the marblestone
She lies beneath the marblestone
* - Adapted from Chaucer s Canterbury Tales

13. A Song For Richard And His Friends (Jazzy Trio W/Vocal)
If you will think now, then you will see
How you can change things
People are waiting, turning away
Tired of killing
Hey now
Will you go away?
We're so tired
Of things that you say
Even though you never said word
That would help anyone but yourself
Tomorrow is such a bad dream
Oh, bad dream
If you stay now
It will only get worse
Let us pray now
'Cause the truth really hurts
Have to be a man
So today with your brothers and sisters lay dying
Tomorrow is such a bad dream
Yeah, such a bad dream
Listen, please be gone
Go away and leave us alone
Bring police
Go away and leave us in peace, yeah
Please be gone
Go away and leave us alone
Bring police
Go away and leave us in peace
Will you go now?
Will you take all your friends?
Woah now, if you'd stood like a man
Even though I know that you cannot be blamed all alone
For all the sadness you've caused
Tomorrow is such a bad dream
Yeah, such a bad dream
Oh yeah, such a bad dream
Dig it
If you will think now you will then you will see
How we can change things
People are waiting, turning away
Tired of killing

5. Skinny Boy
When i was a young skinny boy
My mama said to me
The world out there is hard and dirty
Mean as it wants to be
I know there s gonna be times when you re down and out
So listen now kid, listen my son
I ll tell you what it s all about
chorus:
You got try to keep your head above the water
You got to try to keep a step ahead of time
And even though you ll do some things you shouldn t ought to
If you love your brothers, love ll come back to you
I ve lived my life in so many ways
To find out who i am
Time s approaching i really can say
I truly understand
I know i got more living to do for myself
To run along now, play along later
And stay off of the shelf
I know the world is turning slow
And slowly it will die
But that s something i never will see
I don t know why
I m trying to take the world the best i can
To fight a bit now, love a bit later
And stand up like a man

Fireplace and ivy
Piano nearby
Funny paper walls for your eyes
Persian rug to sleep on
Windows to the west and south
A perfect place to drink our coffee
And talk and dream
So much had begun
I sang the words and played the tunes
And walked down the hill
To that corner place
All those nights
Closer to the people
But crying inside knowing i would have to go
Never wanting to
Oh please be sure of that,
Leaving was insane i know
That secret place for us to grow and cry
When the time came there was nothing to say

No place else can keep you satisfied
City living
Never quite without surprise

And the Avant Garde
It's very hard
In the city

11. Crazy Brother John *
A gentleman came over the sea
To a valley full of flowers
Where he courted ladies three
One of them was dressed in red
He asked if she would share his bed
One of them was dressed in green
He asked if she would be his queen
The last wore only white
He asked if she would be his delight
She said yes
You may go ask my father the king
And you must ask my mother the queen
So you must ask my sister anne
But do not forget my brother john
He s a strange boy
And so he asked her father the king
And then he asked her mother the queen
And so he asked her sister anne
But he forgot her brother john
Crazy boy
Her father led them to the hall
Her mother danced before them all
Her sister led them to the courtyard
And sat her on a horse
( for the getaway of course )
it s then john drew his flashing knife
And robbed the fair maid of her life
Now she neither sighs nor moans
She lies beneath the marblestone
She lies beneath the marblestone

If you will think now, then you will see
How you can change things
People are waiting, turning away
Tired of killing
Hey now
Will you go away?
We're so tired
Of things that you say
Even though you never said word
That would help anyone but yourself
Tomorrow is such a bad dream
Oh, bad dream
If you stay now
It will only get worse
Let us pray now
'Cause the truth really hurts
Have to be a man
So today with your brothers and sisters lay dying
Tomorrow is such a bad dream
Yeah, such a bad dream
Listen, please be gone
Go away and leave us alone
Bring police
Go away and leave us in peace, yeah
Please be gone
Go away and leave us alone
Bring police
Go away and leave us in peace
Will you go now?
Will you take all your friends?
Woah now, if you'd stood like a man
Even though I know that you cannot be blamed all alone
For all the sadness you've caused
Tomorrow is such a bad dream
Yeah, such a bad dream
Oh yeah, such a bad dream
Dig it

Where I can qo
It's really lovely

I used to know

Frequent afternoons we spend

We all play till the end
Till the time runs out
Until the time runs out
You know it's such a shame

Bring police
Go away and leave us in peace, yeah
Please be gone
Go away and leave us alone
Bring police
Go away and leave us in peace
Will you go now?
Will you take all your friends?
Woah now, if you'd stood like a man
Even though I know that you cannot be blamed all alone
For all the sadness you've caused
Tomorrow is such a bad dream
Yeah, such a bad dream
Oh yeah, such a bad dream
Dig it
If you will think now you will then you will see
How we can change things
People are waiting, turning away
Tired of killing

Someday I'm gonna go
Far away, far away, far away
Far, far away
I'm gonna go
Far away
Someday I'm gonna go
Someday I'm gonna go
Far away, far away, far away
Far, far away
I'm gonna go
Far away
I'm gonna go
I'm gonna go far away
Did you ever see
Did you ever want to see
The way it used to be
Did you ever try
Did you ever try
And there was nothing
There was nothing
There was nothing there
Nothing there
Did you ever run,
Did you ever want to run,
And hide youself away
Did you ever cry
Did you ever cry
'Cause there was nothing
There was nothing
There was nothing there
Nothing there
9. A Lifetime We
I found my way
You saved the day
I m gonna stay, my lady
'Cause you always want to play me
Matinee me
You gave me blue
And yellow too
You sweet zazou, you re shady
'Cause you love to overdo me
Rendezvous me
We realize we harmonize
What it means to be each other
Always together as one
We have the time
Tequila and lime
Approaching our prime, my lady
No telling how high we ll climb, we
A lifetime we
10. City Living
City living
Just about to break me down
With the noise and the cars
And the dirtu streets
Ain't it sweet
In the city
In the city
In the city
City living
Crazy way to spend your time
With the fun and the girls
Tryin' to do it all
You're very small
In the city
In the city
In the city
City is a lovely place to hide
Everyone will take you for a ride
No place else can keep you satisfied
City living
Never quite without surprise
With the good and the bad
And the Avant Garde
It's very hard
In the city
In the city
In the city
11. Crazy Brother John *
A gentleman came over the sea
To a valley full of flowers
Where he courted ladies three
One of them was dressed in red
He asked if she would share his bed
One of them was dressed in green
He asked if she would be his queen
The last wore only white
He asked if she would be his delight
She said yes
You may go ask my father the king
And you must ask my mother the queen
So you must ask my sister anne
But do not forget my brother john
He s a strange boy
And so he asked her father the king
And then he asked her mother the queen
And so he asked her sister anne
But he forgot her brother john
Crazy boy
Her father led them to the hall
Her mother danced before them all
Her sister led them to the courtyard
And sat her on a horse
( for the getaway of course )
it s then john drew his flashing knife
And robbed the fair maid of her life
Now she neither sighs nor moans
She lies beneath the marblestone
She lies beneath the marblestone

If you will think now, then you will see
How you can change things
People are waiting, turning away
Tired of killing
Hey now
Will you go away?
We're so tired
Of things that you say
Even though you never said word
That would help anyone but yourself
Tomorrow is such a bad dream
Oh, bad dream
If you stay now
It will only get worse
Let us pray now
'Cause the truth really hurts
Have to be a man
So today with your brothers and sisters lay dying
Tomorrow is such a bad dream
Yeah, such a bad dream
Listen, please be gone
Go away and leave us alone
Bring police
Go away and leave us in peace, yeah
