If You Have The Time
By Bill Chadwick & Davy Jones

If you have the time would you keep me in mind
Mind you, I only want to treat you kind
If you're all alone, would you pick up the phone
And dial the number that you know
Will bring back the glow
That's been gone for such a long, long time
I feel like I'm just acting like a fool,
Talking to my pillow, once a happy fellow was I
I know that I'll get over you if I have to, but do I have to?
I don't want to spend another day being so far away
From the girl that I love

It's been gone for such a long, long time
I feel like I'm just acting like a fool,
Talking to my pillow, once a happy fellow was I
I know that I'll get over you if I have to, but do I have to?
I don't want to spend another day being so far away
From the girl that I love

If you have the time would you keep me in mind
Mind you, I only want to treat you kind
If you're all alone, would you pick up the phone
And dial the number that you know
Will bring back the glow
That's been gone for such a long, long time

Kicks
By Barry Mann & Cynthia Weil

You thought you found the answer on that magic carpet ride last night,
But, when you wake up in the morning, the world still gets you uptight,
Well, there's nothing that you ain't tried
To fill the emptiness inside,
But, when you come back down, you still ain't feeling right.

It seems like kicks just keep getting harder to find,
All your kicks ain't bringing you peace of mind,
Before you find out it's too late,
You'd better get straight,
But, not with kicks, you just need help now.

You think you're gonna find yourself a little piece of paradise,
But, it ain't happened yet, so now you'd better think twice,
Don't you see, no matter what you do,
You'll never run away from you
If you keep on running, you'll have to pay the price.

Don't it seem like, kicks just keep getting harder to find,
All your kicks ain't bringing you peace of mind,
Before you find out it's too late,
You'd better get straight,
But, not with kicks.

To help you face the world each day,
That road goes nowhere,
I'm gonna help you find yourself another way.

Kicks just keep getting harder to find
You don't need kicks, now,
And all your kicks ain't bringing you peace of mind
You just need help, now,
Before you find out it's too late, you'd better get straight
You'd better, you'd better, you'd better.

Kicks just keep getting harder to find
You don't need kicks, now,
And all your kicks ain't bringing you peace of mind
You just need help, now,
Before you find out it's too late, you'd better get straight
You'd better, you'd better, you'd better.

Kicks just keep getting harder to find
And all your kicks ain't bringing you peace of mind
Before you find out it's too late, you'd better get straight

Kicks just keep getting harder to find
And all your kicks ain't bringing you peace of mind
Before you find out it's too late, you'd better get straight

Lady's Baby
By Peter Tork

Lady's baby smiles and coos,
Takes away my lonely blues,
Baby's mother cooks my meal,
Warm and cool is really real.

Running never was much fun,
All it did was bring me down,
Chasing 'round isn't where it's at,
Tension puts you in the ground.

Lady's baby pulls my hair,
Let's me know he's really there,
Baby's mother touches me,
And at last I really see.

Running never was much fun,
All it did was bring me down,
Chasing 'round isn't where it's at,
Tension puts you in the ground.

Lady's baby lets me know,
Life was meant for moving slow,
Baby's mother knows this, too,
Lady, I love you.




Love to Love
By Neil Diamond

Love's a thing that needs one to thrive on
Then it grows
At least that's what I've been told
You can't love someone
If you find that all you get in return
A heart that's cold

They say you need love to love
You gotta have love to love
They all say it works that way.
But if it's true,
Why do I love you?
Why do I love you?

Seems like you keep trying to break me
You do things designed just to make me cry
And I've heard if warm lips don't touch you
Love won't grow no matter how much you try

They say you need love to love
You gotta have love to love
They all say it works that way.
But if it's true,
Why do I love you?
Why do I love you?

They say you need love to love
You gotta have love to love
They all say it works that way.
But if it's true,
Why do I love you?
Why do I love you?
Why do I love you?




Of You
By Bill Chadwick

I walk alone most every night,
Beneath the stars that shine so bright,
Bright as the eyes of you.
And when the sky comes falling down,
And there is darkness all around, all around,
I'll be looking for you.

Lonely I look at the dream-flowing meadow
Won'dring what I am to do.
Sun going down and the trees cast their shadow,
In the shadow and the mist, I remember the last kiss of you.

And when the sky wants more blue,
I get that old longing to, to be held in the arms of you.

And when the sky wants more blue,
I get that old longing to, to be held in the arms of you.
To be held in the arms of you.




Party  
By Steve Pitts & Davy Jones

Now that the party's over,
Now that the noise is through,
Now that the room is empty,
There's only me and you,
I think that I might just fall in love with you, with you.

There were so many people
Trying to talk to you,
Telling you how they need you,
Trying to get to you,
I think that I might just fall in love with you, with you.

Thoughts ring through my head,
All the things that you said
Didn't seem to matter early on,
But, now that the people have gone,
I think that I might just fall in love with you, with you.

Now that you know how I feel,
Everything's up to you,
Now that the party's over
Tell me what I should do,
I think that I might just fall in love with you, with you,
With you, with you,
With you, with you,
With you, with you.




Riu Chiu
(Traditional)

Riu riu chiu, la guarda ribera;
Dios guardo el lobo de nuestra cordera,
Dios guardo el lobo de neustra cordera.

El lobo rabioso la quiso morder,
Mas Dios poderoso la supo defender;
Quisola hazer que no pudiese pecar,
Ni aun original esta Virgen no tuviera.

Riu, riu chiu...

Este qu'es nacido es el gran monarca,
Christo patriarca de carne vestido;
Hemos redemido con se hazer chiquito,
Aunqu'era infinito, finito se hiziera.

Riu, riu chiu...




She'll Be There
Unknown

When your dreams have died around you
She'll be there
When you need a hand to guide you
She'll be there

And when you feel rejected
'Cause life is not what you expected
I know that she'll be there

If I hadn't lied and cheated
She'd be here
If she wasn't so mistreated
She'd be here

And if you don't abuse her
I know you'll never ever lose her
And she will always be there

I was too late to discover
How much I really did love her
But now her place is with you
And I must face it
It's over, we're through

She'll be there, she'll be there

And if you don't abuse her
I know you'll never ever lose her
And she will always be there
She'll be there
She'll be there
She'll be there
Some Of Shelly's Blues
By Michael Nesmith

Tell me, just one more time,
The reasons why you must leave.
Tell me once more why you're sure you don't need me.
Tell me again, but don't think that you'll convince me.

Now you've said, before falling in love again
You'd rather be dead.
'Cause when someone breaks your heart
You cry your eyes read.
But there's nothin' so hard about the life that you've lead

As far as I can see there's no reason for "goodbyes."
You're just running scared and that's something I won't buy.

So you lose
I won't let you go with nothing to show but more blues.
And all this talk about leavin' is strictly bad news.
So you settle down and stay with the man that loves you.

Someday Man
By Roger Nichols & Paul Williams

Some people always complain,
That their life is too short, so they hurry it along,
Their worries drive them insane,
But they still go along for the ride,
As for me, I have all the time in the world.

I was born a someday man,
I'm a maybe child,
I was born a someday man,
I was always wild.

Tomorrow's a new day, baby,
Anything can happen,
Anything can happen at all.

Some folks are working for reasons
And waiting for answers they're never gonna find,
They keep on searching for pleasures
And looking so hard they can't see,
But for me, life can be a sweet holiday.

I was born a someday man,
I'm a maybe child,
I was born a someday man,
I was always wild.

Tomorrow's a new day, baby,
Anything can happen,
Anything can happen at all.

I was born a someday man,
I'm a maybe child,
I was born a someday man,
I was always wild.
I was born a someday man,
I'm a maybe child,
I was born a someday man,
I was always wild.

St. Matthew
By Michael Nesmith

She walks around on brass rings that never touch her feet.
She speaks in conversations that never are complete.
And looking over past things that she has never done
She calls herself St. Matthew, when she is on the run.

She stoops down to gather partly shattered men
And knows that when it's over it will start again.
Both the times she smiled it was a portrait of the sun.
She calls herself St. Matthew, when she is on the run.

Part of it is loneliness and knowing how steal.
But most if it is weariness from standing up, trying not to kneel.

She discovered three new ways that she could help the dead.
Sometime she must raise her hand to tell you what she said.
Then standing in a landslide she suddenly becomes
A girl that's named St. Matthew, when she is on the run.

Part of it is loneliness and knowing how steal.
But most if it is weariness from standing up, trying not to kneel.

She discovered three new ways that she could help the dead.
Sometime she must raise her hand to tell you what she said.
Then standing in a landslide she suddenly becomes
A girl that's named St. Matthew, when she is on the run.




Storybook of You
By Tommy Boyce & Bobby Hart

Out of sight, out of mind
It doesn't hold true, in my storybook of you
Turn a page back in time
That's all I can do
In my storybook of you
First in love
Then afraid
Somehow every story must come to an end
Oh, it happened too soon
In my storybook of you
Out of sight, out of mind
It doesn't hold true, in my story book of you
Of you...




Tear the Top Right Off of My Head
By Peter Tork

Walkin' down the lonely street, 
I need someone to meet.
I run across sweet lookin' you,     
Do you know what you do?

Oh, you tear the top right off my head
Blow my mind.
Yeah, I'm goin' blind.

Freakin' out in the afternoon,     
Lookin' at a daytime moon.
Talk to me, I'll talk to you, 
Do you know what you do?

Yeah, you tear the top right off my head
Blow my mind.
I'm goin' blind.

Sittin' by a firelight, 
Coffee cups for two.
Touch my lips with your fingertips,
Do you know what you do?

Yeah, you tear the top right off my head
Blow my mind.
Yeah, I'm goin' blind.




Teeny Tiny Gnome
By Erwin & Castle

Kickin' stones on an old dirt road
Feelin' d-dejected and all alone
When I looked up ahead thought my mind I'd blown
On a giant toadstool sat a teeny tiny gnome

He was all involved in a game of solitaire
Said "hello" with a smile just like I wasn't there
I kicked dirt some more
He said "please don't start a fight."
Found a church key in his pocket, he opened up his pipe

He blew some silver circles,
Wound his fingers in his beard
And from that pipe came magic music
Like I'd never heard

As the notes came floatin' in I pricked up both my ears
I walked up to the drive-in, hadn't felt so starved in years
A rabbit waiter took my order and quickly disappeared
He said "the party's over,
Please come back in a thousand years."




That Was Then, This Is Now
By Vance Brescia

You always say you like my style.
You say I'm tough and kind of wild.
Am I too much for you to tame?
I swear this time it's not a game.

I've known a lot of girls.
No, this I won't deny.
I'll give our love,
I'll give it more than a try.

That was then, (that was then) this is now.
Let me prove my love girl, I'll make you proud.
I never made (never made) this kind of vow.
That was then, this is now

I've led a thousand lives it seems.
And there's been a lot of broken dreams.
My mind's just swept love aside.
But you broke me down and put me wise.

I've doubted all compassion,
But you showed me the door.
I can't doubt it,
I don't doubt it no more.

That was then, (that was then) this is now.
Let me prove my love girl, I'll make you proud.
I never made (never made) this kind of vow.
That was then, this is now.

I've known a lot of girls.
No, this I won't deny.
I'll give our love,
I'll give it more than a try.

That was then, (that was then) this is now.
Let me prove my love girl, I'll make you proud.
I never made (never made) this kind of vow.
That was then, this is now.

That was then, this is now.
That was then, this is now.





War Games
By Steve Pitts & Davy Jones

Did you buy your tickets for the war game?
Aren't you glad that your sitting in the back?
For the game is deadly-heavy for the players,
Aren't you glad it's a spectator sport?

Can't you hear the cries?
It isn't over,
Can't you smell the fear?
It's all over.

If you want to play the game, you must have training,
Choose your side, pick your toy, but play to win,
Don't be sad if you lose, it isn't over,
Choose a side and begin the game again.

Can't you hear the cries?
It isn't over,
Can't you smell the fear?
It's all over.

Don't have to play the game if you don't want to,
You can sit at home and hear it on the news,
They will show you colored pictures of the killings,
They want you to feel that you're part of it, too.

Can't you hear the cries?
It isn't over,
Don't you smell the fear?
It's all over,
It's all over.
