=head3 Violent Blue [G (c5/G) (C)]

Hey, don't I know you from some other life?
You were wide-eyed and green and a little bit taller
And you didn't look away when spoken to

Do you still take two sugars? you seem a little tense
And I can't help but notice how hard you appear
When I look into your eyes of violent blue

Was it sudden? was it clean?
Were there a lot of shades in between?

Step away
Let off
Throw it down
And lose yourself

Hey, are you in there? or don't you recall

When the perfume of belief was all we needed
It was all we needed to set our sights

So when did you throw out the rest of the world
Deaf from the din of your self-righteous babble?
I think you've been blinded by your own light

Was it hatred? was it pride?
Or did you just have a lot to hide?

Come away
Throw down
Let it burn
And lose yourself

Passion to ashes
To smouldering ruins
Bathed in your violent ...

Are you in there?
Are you in there?

Am I boring you? I could say more
We were headed for somewhere
But that was before you traded in your peace sign for a finger

And I don't believe that's the way you were raised
Or the cards you were dealt, or a poor self-image
I think you love yourself too much

You want to rule some sovereign state?
Uou want to smother in all that hate?

Get away
Lay down
Strip it off
And lose yourself

=head3 The Other End of the Telescope [FsBb (CsF)]

Shall we agree that just this once I'm gonna change my life

Until it's just as tiny or important as you like

And in time we won't even recall that we spoke

Words that turned out to be as big as smoke

As smoke that disappears in the air

There's always something that's smoldering somewhere

Chorus:

I know it don't make a difference to you

But, oh, it sure made a difference to me

You'll see me off in the distance I hope

At the other end, at the other end of the telescope

The promise of indulgence in my confidential voice

Approached immortal danger but you'll never know how close

Then down the hall I overheard such a heavenly choir

They interrupted my evil designs

One day you're up in the clouds

The next thing you're down with the Sweet Adelines

Chorus

Lie down, baby, now don't say a word

There, there, baby, your vision is blurred

Your head is so sore from all of that thinking

I don't want to hurt you now

But I think you're shrinking

You're half-naked ambition and you're half out of your wits

Or several tiny fractions that this portrait still omits

And it's so hard to pick the receiver up when I call

I never noticed you could be so small

The answer was under your nose

But the question never arose

Chorus 2:

I know it don't make a difference to you

But, oh, it sure made a difference to me

Cause late in the evening as I sit here moping

With a bamboo needle on a shellac of Chopin

And the cast-iron heart that you failed to tear open

At the other end, at the other end of the telescope

=head2 Tom Petty

=head3 Alright For Now [D (c5/A)]

Goodnight baby, sleep tight my love

May God watch over you from above

Tomorrow I'm workin' what would I do

I'd be lost and lonely if not for you

So close your eyes

We're alright for now

I've spent my life travelin', spent my life free

I could not repay all you've done for me

So sleep tight baby, unfurrow your brow

And know I love you

We're alright for now

=head3 Wildflowers [FsBb (c3/DsG)]

You belong among the wildflowers

You belong in a boat out at sea

Sail away, kill off the hours

You belong somewhere you feel free

Run away, find you a lover

Go away somewhere bright and new

I have seen no other

Who compares with you

You belong among the wildflowers

You belong in a boat out at sea

You belong with your love on your arm

You belong somewhere you feel free

Run away, go find a lover

Run away, let your heart be your guide

You deserve the deepest of cover

You belong in that home by and by

You belong among the wildflowers

You belong somewhere close to me

Far away from your trouble and worry

You belong somewhere you feel free

=head2 Bob Dylan

=head3 Baby, Let Me Follow You Down [A (c2/G, hD)]

Baby, let me follow you down

Well I'd do anything in this God-almighty world

If you'd just let me follow you down

Can I come home with you?

Baby, can I come home with you?

Well I'd do anything in this God-almighty world

If you'd just let me come home with you

Baby, let me follow you down

Well I'd do anything in this God-almighty world

If you'd just let me follow you down

Oh I'd do anything in this God-almighty world

If you'd just let me follow you down

=head2 Barenaked Ladies

=head3 Brian Wilson [Bb (c3/G)]

Drove downtown in the rain nine-thirty on a Tuesday night

Just to check out the late-night record shop

Call it impulsive, call it compulsive, call it insane

But when I'm surrounded I just can't stop

It's a matter of instinct, it's a matter of conditioning

It's a matter of fact

You can call me Pavlov's dog

Ring a bell and I'll salivate

How'd you like that?

Dr. Landy tell me you're not just a pedagogue

'Coz right now I'm

Chorus:

Lying in bed just like Brian Wilson did

Well I'm lying in bed just like Brian Wilson did

So I'm lying here, just staring at the ceiling tiles

And I'm thinking about what to think about

Just listening and relistening to Smiley Smile

And I'm wondering if this is some kind of creative drought

Because I am

Chorus

And if you want to find me I'll be out in the sandbox

Wondering where the hell all the love has gone

Playing my guitar and building castles in the sun

And singing "Fun, Fun, Fun"

Chorus

I had a dream that I was three hundred pounds

And though I was very heavy

I floated 'til I couldn't see the ground

Somebody help me, I couldn't see the ground

Somebody help me because I'm

Chorus

Drove downtown in the rain nine-thirty on a Tuesday night

Just to check out the late-night record shop

Call it impulsive, call it compulsive, call it insane

But when I'm surrounded I just can't stop

=head3 When I Fall [F# (c4/C)]

I look straight in the window, try not to look below

Pretend I'm not up here, try counting sheep

But the sheep seem to shower off this office tower

Nine-point-eight straight down I can't stop my knees.

Chorus:

I wish I could fly

From this building, from this wall

And if I should try,

Would you catch me if I fall?

My hands clench the squeegee, my secular rosary

Hang on to your wallet, hang on to your rings

Can't look below me, or something might throw me

Curse at the windstorms that october brings.

I look in the boardroom; a modern pharaoh's tomb

I'd gladly swap places, if they care to dive

They're lined up at the window, peer down into limbo

They're frightened of jumping, in case they survive.

I wish I could step from this scaffold

Onto soft green pastures, shopping malls, or bed

With my family and my pastor and my grandfather who's dead

Look straight in the mirror, watch it come clearer

I look like a painter, behind all the grease

But paintings creating, and I'm just erasing

A crystal-clear canvas is my masterpiece

=head3 Wichita [C | C (c5/G) | Ab (c1/G)]

She went back to Wichita

She went back to her Ma and Pa

Reckon I saw her next to my truck

Pumpin' gas with the car packed up

We talked as neighbors will,

That're waiting for their tanks to fill

We talked about nothing -- how it might snow

How far she had to go

Chorus:

Going back where the grass grows tall

And the fields burn in the fall

You can still hear the night birds call

Back in Wichita

She came in '85

She came here as a July bride

But it never got easy, never got rich

Ain't got much but what she came here with

Good times have all been spent

She ain't broken but she's badly bent

There's nothing she wants here nothing that shines

She made up her mind

Chorus

She says for all my time

Well I ain't got much to show

You can tell that man of mine

And anyone who wants to know

Chorus
