To Go That Extra Mile

i've been getting myself sidetracked
by the little things in life
making mountains out of molehills
tossing turning through the night

i got an itch that just needs scratching
all my bugs i have to bare
i keep getting tunnel vision
and think no one really cares

but i'm thankful i have friends
who help me keep my feet on the ground
and who offer me advice
that is both wise and profound

but when i'm left to my own thoughts
i keep waking sleeping dogs
rubbing salt into my old wounds
always making matters worse


i am sorry i was short with you
i've got too much on my mind
trying to get from a to z
when i don't have the time

i need to have a break from work
and spend more time with you
take the dog out for a walk
and run the kids to school

well you know i could start a fight
in an empty room
and baby baby baby baby
so could you

but you can make me laugh
and you can make me smile
you give me the strength
to go that extra mile

Directly From My Heart To You (Little Richard)

Hard Times Come Again No More (Stephen Foster, 1854)

(Vocals: James Higgins)

Let us pause in life's pleasures and count its many tears,
While we all sup sorrow with the poor;
There's a song that will linger forever in our ears;
Oh Hard times come again no more.

Tis the song, the sigh of the weary,
Hard Times, hard times, come again no more
Many days you have lingered around my cabin door;
Oh hard times come again no more.

While we seek mirth and beauty and music light and gay,
There are frail forms fainting at the door;
Though their voices are silent, their pleading looks will say
Oh hard times come again no more.

Tis the song, the sigh of the weary,
Hard Times, hard times, come again no more
Many days you have lingered around my cabin door;
Oh hard times come again no more.

There's a pale drooping maiden who toils her life away,
With a worn heart whose better days are o'er:
Though her voice would be merry, 'tis sighing all the day,
Oh hard times come again no more.

Tis a sigh that is wafted across the troubled wave,
Tis a wail that is heard upon the shore
Tis a dirge that is murmured around the lowly grave
Oh hard times come again no more.

Tis the song, the sigh of the weary,
Hard Times, hard times, come again no more
Many days you have lingered around my cabin door;
Oh hard times come again no more.

Shine On You Crazy Diamond (lyrics by Roger Waters)

Remember when you were young
You shone like the sun
Shine on you crazy diamond
Now there's a look in your eyes
Like black holes in the sky
Shine on you crazy diamond
You were caught in the crossfire
Of childhood and stardom
Blown on the steel breeze
Come on you target for faraway laughter
Come on you stranger
You legend
You martyr
And shine

You reached for the secret too soon
You cried for the moon
Shine on you crazy diamond
Threatened by shadows at night
And exposed in the light
Shine on you crazy diamond
Well, you wore out your welcome
With random precision
Rode on the steel breeze
Come on you raver
You seer of visions
Come on you painter
You piper
You prisoner
And shine

Nobody knows where you are
How near or how far
Shine on you crazy diamond
Pile on many more years
And I'll be joining you there
Shine on you crazy diamond
And we'll bask in the shadow
Of yesterday's triumph
Sail on the steel breeze
Come on you boy child
You winner and loser
Come on you miner for truth and delusion
And shine

Jamaica Farewell
by Erving Burgess

Down the way where the nights are gay
And the sun shines daily on the mountain top
I took a trip on a sailing ship
And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop

CHORUS:
But I'm sad to say, I'm on my way
Won't be back for many a day
My heart is down, my head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town

Sounds of laughter everywhere
And the dancing girls swaying to and fro
I must declare that my heart is there
Though I've been from Maine to Mexico

CHORUS

Down at the market you can hear
Ladies cry out while on their head they bear
Ackie rice and salt fish is nice
And the rum is good any time of year

CHORUS

Same Old Blues

Have you heard that rumor that's goin' around
You got a man, way across town
It's the same old story, tell me where does it end
Yes I heard the news, it's the same old blues again

When I wrote you a letter, you must have read it wrong
I stood at your doorway but you were gone
I took a lot of time 'n let your telephone ring
It's the same old blues, it's the same old blues again

When you gave me the business, you know I didn't mind
'cause I got a lot of patience 'n I got a lot of time
It's the same old story, tell me where does it end
It's the same old blues, it's the same old blues again

Gonna find me a mountain, gonna hide it out
Ain't talkin' to you 'n I ain't comin' out
Yes I heard the rumor, tell me where does it end
It's the same old blues, it's the same old blues again

Oooooh, oh baby baby
What you make me do
I don't know where I am
It's the same old blues, same old blues again
Whoooooooah, oh oh oh . . .

Same old blues (Captain Beefheart cover)

Fragile is the fourth studio album from the English progressive rock band Yes, released on Atlantic Records. It is the first to feature keyboardist Rick Wakeman, who replaced Tony Kaye in 1971, and the first to feature cover art by Roger Dean, who would design many of the band's records.&#13;
&#13;
Upon its release in the UK in November 1971, Fragile hit number 7 on the UK Album Chart, which would prove its highest position there.[1] It later reached number 4 on the US Billboard 200[2] during a stay of 46 weeks. Its release in the United States was held back for two months because of the chart momentum of their previous record, The Yes Album.&#13;
