1.I Can't Let Go
Lyrics:Taylor/Gorgoni
Music:Taylor/Gorgoni
Oh I try and I try but I can't say goodbye
Feel so bad, baby Oh, it hurts me
When I think of how you love and desert me
I'm the broken-hearted toy you play with, baby
You got me going I need you, baby
I can't let go, and I want you, baby
I gotta have you, you know, I can't let go
Though I'm just one of your lovers
And I know there are so many others
You do something strange to me, baby, baby
chorus
Oh I try and I try but I can't say goodbye
Know that it's wrong and I should be so strong
But the thought of you gone makes me want to hold on
chorus x2
I can't let go
I can't let go
I can't let go
I can't let go
2.Carrie Anne
Lyrics:Clarke/Hicks/Nash
Music:Clarke/Hicks/Nash
Hey Carrie Anne, hey Carrie Anne
When we were at school our games were simple
I played a janitor, you played a monitor
Then you played with older boys and prefects
What's the attraction in what they're doing
Hey Carrie Anne, what's your game now, can anybody play
Hey Carrie Anne, what's your game now, can anybody play
You were always something special to me
Quite independent, never caring
You lost you're charm as you were ageing
Where is your magic disappearing
Hey Carrie Anne, what's your game now, can anybody play
Hey Carrie Anne, what's your game now, can anybody play
You're so, so like a woman to me (so like a woman to me)
So, (so), so (so) like a woman to me ( like a woman to me)
Hey Carrie Anne, what's your game now, can anybody play
Hey Carrie Anne, what's your game now, can anybody play
People live and learn, but you're still learning
You use my mind and I'll be your teacher
When the lesson's over, you'll be with me
Then I'll hear the other people saying
Hey Carrie Anne, what's your game now, can anybody play
Hey Carrie Anne, what's your game now, can anybody play
Carrie Anne
Carrie Anne
Carrie Anne
3.Stop Stop Stop
Lyrics:Clarke/Hicks/Nash
Music:Clarke/Hicks/Nash
See the girl with cymbals on her fingers
Entering through the door
Ruby glistening from her navel
Shimmering around the floor
Bells on feet go ting-a ling-a linging
Going through my head
Sweat is falling just-a like-a tear drops
Running from her head
Now she's dancing, going through the movements
Swaying to and fro
Body moving, bringing back a memory
Thoughts of long ago
Blood is rushing, temperature is rising
Sweating from my brow
Like a snake, her body fascinates me
I can't look away now
Stop, stop, stop all the dancing
Give me time to breathe
Stop, stop, stop all the dancing
Or I'll have to leave
Now she's moving all around the tables
Luring all in sight
But I know that she cannot see me
Hidden by the light
Closer, closer, she is getting nearer
Soon she'll be in reach
As I enter into a spotlight
She stands lost for speech
Stop, stop, stop all the dancing
Give me time to breathe
Stop, stop, stop all the dancing
Or I'll have to leave
Break
Stop, stop, stop all the dancing
Give me time to breathe
Stop, stop, stop all the dancing
Or I'll have to leave
Now I hold her, people are staring
Don't know what to think
And we struggle knocking over tables
Spilling all the drinks
Can't they understand that I want her
Happens every week
Heavy hand upon my collar
Throws me in the street
Stop, stop, stop all the dancing
Give me time to breathe
Stop, stop, stop all the dancing
Or I'll have to leave
4.Just Like A Woman
Lyrics:Bob Dylan
Music:Bob Dylan
Nobody feels any pain
Tonight as I stand here in the rain
Everybody knows that baby's got new clothes
But lately I see her ribbons and her bows
Have fallen from her curls
Oh, she takes just like a woman
Yes she does
And she makes love just like a woman
Yes she does
And she aches just like a woman
Yeah, but she breaks just like a little girl
Mary, she's my friend
Yes, I believe I'll go see her again
Nobody has to guess
That baby can't be blessed
'Til she finally sees that she's like all the rest
With her fog, her amphetamines and her pearls
chorus
It was rainin from the first
I was dyin of thirst
So I came in here
And your longtime curse
Hurts but what's worse
Is this pain in here
I can't stay in here
Ain't it clear
I just can't fit
Yes, I believe it's time for us to quit
When we meet again, introduced as friends
Please don't let on that you knew me when
I was hungry and it was your world
chorus
5.Dear Eloise
Lyrics:Clarke/Hicks/Nash
Music:Clarke/Hicks/Nash
Dear Eloise, I am writing to say
a number of funny thing I heard today.
I heard that he's left you and run off to sea.
Could be the best thing that's happened to me.
Writing a letter to make you feel better.
Sorry to hear that he left you that way.
I could have told you, he was much older,
so much older than you.
You rushed blindly, he treated you kindly
until he found out what he could get from you.
You should have departed before he got started.
Now you've been burned just like I said you would.
Please read my letter closely.
It's beneficial, too.
You must read in-between the lines,
a message you will see.
If you use your mind, you'll find
I want you back with me.
Verse 2
so much older than you, so much older than you.
chorus
6.Long Cool Woman In A Black Dress
Lyrics:Clarke/Cook/Greenaway
Music:Clarke/Cook/Greenaway
Saturday night I was downtown
Working for the FBI
Sitting in a nest of bad men
Whisky bottles piling high
Bootlegging boozer on the west side
Full of people who are doing wrong
Just about to call up the DA man
When I heard this woman singing a song
A pair of 45's made me open my eyes
My temperature started to rise
She was a long cool woman in a black dress
Just a 5'9, beautiful tall
With just one look I was a bad mess
'Cos that long cool woman had it all
I saw her headin' to the table
Well a tall walking big black cat
When Charlie said I hope that you're able boy
Well I'm telling you she knows where it's at
Well suddenly we heard the sirens
And everybody started to run
A jumping out of doors and tables
Well I heard somebody shooting a gun
Well the DA was pumping my left hand
And then she was a-holding my right
Well I told her don't get scared
'Cos you're gonna be spared
Well I've gotta be forgiven
If I wanna spend my living
With a long cool woman in a black dress
Just a 5'9 beautiful tall
Well, with just one look I was a bad mess
'Cos that long cool woman had it all
Had it all
7.The Mighty Quinn
Lyrics:Bob Dylan
Music:Bob Dylan
Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn
Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn
Everybody's building ships and boats
Some are building monuments, others jotting down notes
Everybody's in despair, every girl and boy
but when Quinn the Eskimo gets here
everybody's gonna jump for joy
chorus
I like to go just like the rest, I like my sugar sweet
But jumping queues and making haste
just ain't my cup of meat
Everyone's beneath the trees feeding pigeons on a limb
but when Quinn the Eskimo gets here
all the pigeons gonna run to him
chorus
Let me do what I want to do, I can't decide 'em all
Just tell me where to put 'em, and I'll tell you who call
Nobody can get no sleep, there's someone on everyone's toes
but when Quinn the Eskimo gets here
everybody's gonna want to doze
chorus
8.Hey Willy
Lyrics:Clarke/Cook/Greenaway
Music:Clarke/Cook/Greenaway
Hey Willy your mother calls you Billy
your father calls you silly
but you really are a pretty one
Hey baby you're dressing like a lady
The fellows call you Sadie

but you really are a pretty one

9.He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother
Lyrics:B.Scott/B.Russell
Music:B.Scott/B.Russell
The road is long
With many a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where
Who knows where
But I'm strong
Strong enough to carry him
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
So on we go
His welfare is of my concern
No burden is he to bear
We'll get there
For I know
He would not encumber me
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
If I'm laden at all
I'm laden with sadness
That everyone's heart
Isn't filled with the gladness
Of love for one another
It's a long, long road
From which there is no return
While we're on the way to there
Why not share
And the load
Doesn't weigh me down at all
He ain't heavy he's my brother
He's my brother
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
10.Blowin' In The Wind(#2)
Lyrics:Bob Dylan
Music:Bob Dylan
How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man
How many seas must the white dove sail
Before she can sleep in the sand
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind
Yes, and how many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky
Yes, and how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry
chorus
Well, how many years can a mountain exist
Before it is washed to the sea
And how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free
chorus
11.High Classed
Lyrics:Clarke/Hicks/Nash
Music:Clarke/Hicks/Nash
You're high classed
Well, your taste is good
I know I can't love you
Like I know I should
But we've got a good understanding
Ah, we've got us
You wear good clothes
When I wear rags
You got educated friends
But we've got a good understanding
We've got us
We can't be seen in public
Oh, we gotta find lowly places to go
If they see me
Walking with you
Your friends'll cut you dead
I've seen it happen, I know
You eat caviar
When I eat toast
You know I can't buy you
The things you like most
We've got a good understanding
We've got us
Ah, sing those songs
Break
We can't be seen in public
Oh, we gotta find lowly places to go
If they see me
Walking with you
Your friends'll cut you dead
I've seen it happen, I know
You eat caviar
When I eat toast
You know I can't buy you
The things you like most
We've got a good understanding
We've got us
Oh, yeah, aw, we've got us
Believe me
We've got us
12.King Midas In Reverse
Lyrics:A.Clarke/T.Hicks/G.Nash
Music:A.Clarke/T.Hicks/G.Nash
If you could only see me
I know exactly where I am
You wouldn't want to be me
Oh, I can assure you of that
I'm not the guy to run with
'cause I'll throw you off the line
I'll break you and destroy you
Given time
He's King Midas with a curse
He's King Midas in reverse
He's King Midas with a curse
He's King Midas in reverse
It's plain to see it's hopeless
Going on the way we are
So even though I'd lose you
You'd be better off by far
He's not the man to hold your trust
Everything he touches turns to dust
In his hands
Nothing he can do is right
He'd even like to sleep at night
But he can't
All he touches turns to dust
All he touches turns to dust
All he touches turns to dust
All he touches turns to dust
I wish someone would find me
And help me gain control
Before I lose my reason
And my soul
He's King Midas with a curse
He's King Midas in reverse
He's King Midas with a curse
He's King Midas in reverse
