Getting Into The Sun
Don Brewer/Craig Frost

Rising, setting, been trying to get into the sun yeah
Wanting, getting, gonna' get more baby when I'm done

All my life I had been waiting, then you turn me on
Now there'll be no hesitating, I'm getting into the sun

Growing, knowing, you learn more everyday yeah
Needing, succeeding, sun don't go away

Things are changing for the better, now I'm not afraid
I'll be writing you a letter, 'cause I just got paid

Growing, knowing, you learn more everyday yeah
Needing, succeeding, sun don't go away

Things are changing for the better, now I'm not afraid
I'll be writing you a letter, 'cause I just got paid

Can't Be Too Long
Mark Farner Ahhhhh... Ah, Ah, Ahhhhh... The heat of a summer day Poundin' down on my back Work like a dog in the sunlight Tryin' to pay the people back I killed a man in the spring time Had to work hard just to make a dime To buy my baby the things that she needs I guess I didn't think twice And now I have to pay the price For killing a man of another creed Ahhhhh... Ah, Ah, Ahhhhh... I guess I'll have to be strong The rest of my life can't be too long I know I'll die some day And be going far away And you won't remember the things that I've done I feel a shedding tear It's only been a year But I know I'll be dead when that evening comes Ahhhhh... Ah, Ah, Ahhhhh... I guess I'll have to be strong The rest of my life can't be too long Ahhhhh... Ah, Ah, Ahhhhh...

Got This Thing On The Move
Mark Farner Come on over to my side It's where you wanna' be Come along for the joy ride And let your mama see Ain't no way to deny it If it's in your soul You don't know 'till you try it Baby let the good time roll Let me taste your life Let me fill your stream Let me make you feel it right now Just lay back and dream Got this thing on the move, it's beginin' Got a strange kind of feeling, under my skin I hear my baby knockin' At my front door She knows what I got She wants some more And when it's all over I start to come down Thing just rest in place I leave the ground

Time Machine
Mark Farner Well a-hey there baby, do you want to make the scene? I said a-hey there baby, do you want to make the scene? Awww well come on over baby, step into my time machine You best jump into my action, I'm gonna make you feel right Awww, jump into my action, I'm gonna make you feel right Don't worry 'bout tomorrow 'cause I'm gonna love you tonight Step into the front row, I'm gonna show you how Step into the front row, I wanna show you how Don't worry 'bout no time we can always come back to right now Awww and I'm gonna' give it to you When you wanna come back, we just a turn about When you wanna come back, we just a turn about But we ain't gonna' come back 'till there ain't no doubt Now don't it get good to you, ah-do you know what I mean? Said don't it get good to you, don't you know what I mean? Well come on over baby, jump into my time machine

High On A Horse
Mark Farner Ain't no doctor, who can help the way I feel Once you got her, boy she let's you know it's real Learn to love her, or the opposite is right To rise above her, you'll be so high you're out of sight Feel so good, yeah, that you never want to come down But you should, yeah, if you want to stay around

Mr. Limousine Driver
Mark Farner Hey Mr. Limousine driver can I ask you a favor please? Let her in my door and don't look back here no more I know you can do it with ease Although we're on our way from the show and you don't like to get off the track Please Mr. Chauffeur let's talk things over 'cause she says she loves me and that's a fact Can you hear what I'm sayin' It's not like I'm prayin' You know because you've done it before So why make me wait Please don't hesitate Just get back here and let her in my door Hey Mr. Limousine driver I know you know where it's at Too late will be later You just read your evening paper And don't worry 'bout what's goin' on in back Hey, Mr. Limousine driver Hey, Mr. Limousine driver

Sin's A Good Man's Brother
Mark Farner Ain't seen a night, things work out right, go by. Things on my mind, and I just don't have the time, and it don't seem right. Ain't seen a day, that I don't hear people say, they know they're gonna' die. This may seem a little bit crazy, but I don't think you should be so lazy. If you think you've heard this before, well, stick around I'm gonna' tell you more. One just like the other, sin's a good man's brother, but is that right? You tell me that I don't, then I say I won't, but then I might. You said this is the way it's supposed to be, but it just don't seem right to me, and that's outta' sight. Some folks need an education, don't give up, or we'll loose the nation. You say we need a revolution? It seems to be the only solution.

Aimless Lady
Mark Farner Aimless lady, is this your home town? Tell me baby, tell me where you're bound. When our eyes met, you were in the very first row. I couldn't even guess your name, but I just had to know. You were meant for me, would you grab your coat and flee? You were a mystery, but you just had to be ... An aimless lady. Aimless lady Aimless lady Should I try, and satisfy, you lady? Ain't no lie, now we'll get by, my baby. If you can stand, a real good man, now lady, Take my hand, and understand, me baby. Take your time, you're doing fine, now lady. You got yours, and I got mine, now baby. Can you see, the way to be, now lady. Stay with me, and set me free, now baby. Aimless lady Aimless lady Aimless lady You're mine aimless lady. Yeah, aimless lady. You're mine aimless lady. Mine, aimless lady. Oooo ...

Mean Mistreater
Mark Farner Mean mistreater, you make me cry, You lay around, and watch me die. Mean mistreater, can't you see I'm real? Are you satisfied, with the way you feel? I've tried hard to live without you, in so many ways. I just can't help myself from thinking of you, for the rest of my days. Heartache is at my door step, won't leave me alone. I just can't get used to it, now that I'm on my own. I know all about you, your childhood days, Your mom and dad, your pretty face. Mean mistreater, if you need me, I'm needin' you to set me free. Mmmm ...

I'm Your Captain (Closer to Home)
Mark Farner Everybody, listen to me, And return me, my ship. I'm your captain, I'm your captain, Although I'm feeling mighty sick. I've been lost now, days uncounted, And it's months since I've seen home. Can you hear me, can you hear me, Or am I all alone. If you return me, to my home port, I will kiss you mother earth. Take me back now, take me back now, To the port of my birth. Am I in my cabin dreaming, or are you really scheming, To take my ship away from me? You'd better think about it, I just can't live without it. So, please don't take my ship from me. Yeah, yeah, yeah ... I can feel the hand, of a stranger, And it's tightening, around my throat. Heaven help me, Heaven help me, Take this stranger from my boat. I'm your captain, I'm your captain, Although I'm feeling mighty sick. Everybody, listen to me, And return me, my ship. I'm your captain, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm your captain, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm your captain, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm your captain, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm getting closer to my home ... I'm getting closer to my home ... I'm getting closer to my home ... I'm getting closer to my home ... Ohhhh ... I'm getting closer to my home ... I'm getting closer to my home ... I'm getting closer to my home ... I'm getting closer to my home ...

Are You Ready (live)
Mark Farner Are you ready? You can trust me all the way Are you ready? Well then let me hear you say... That you're ready, and the world will know it's right Yes you're ready, and I know it's outta sight Now you're ready, well then what you waitin' for? If you're ready, you just open up your door 'Cause I'm ready, for everything you got Yes, I'm ready, come and get it while it's hot

Paranoid (live)
Mark Farner Did you ever have that feeling in your life That someone was watching you? You don't have no reason that's right But still he's there watching you Someone is waiting just outside the door To take you away Everybody knows just what he's there for To take you away But you don't know why he's there waiting But you don't know why he's there waiting Spent too much time anticipating Spent too much time anticipating Did you ever think it could be you That's just outside the door? There's just one way to find out if it's true So what you waiting for? Oh get yourself together now my friend And step outside the pad If there's no one waiting for you there my friend I think you should be glad But who wasn't there that you should look out for? Who wasn't there that you should look out for? Get back inside go on and shut the door Get back inside go on and shut the door You don't have nobody, don't need nobody, can't love nobody, you're better off by yourself You ain't feelin' too bad, you're driving me mad, and say you're glad, you're better off by yourself You don't have nobody, don't need nobody, can't love nobody, you're better off by yourself You ain't feelin' too bad, you're driving me mad, and say you're glad, you're better off by yourself Whoooaaaaa...

Inside Looking Out (live)
John Lomax/Alan Lomax/Eric Burdon/Bryan "Chas" Chandler I'm sitting here lonely like a broken man I serve my time doin' the best I can Walls and bars they surround me But I don't want no sympathy No baby, no baby, all I need is some tender lovin' To keep me sane in this burning oven And when my time is up You'll be my reefer Life gets worse on God's green earth Be my reefer, got to keep smokin' that thing No, no, no, no, no, no No, no, no, no, no, no, no I said now baby... baby, Yes I'm beggin'... I'm beggin' Makes me feel good... feel good, Yes I feel good... ahhhhh... Yes I feel alright... feel alright yes I feel alright ... feel alright Yes I feel alright... ahhhhh Ohhhhh Ice cold water runnin' through my veins They try and drag me back to work again Pain and blisters on my mind and hands I work all day making up a... a burlap bag The oats they're feeding me are driving me wild I feel all happy like a new born child Now when my time is up you wait and see These walls and bars won't keep that stuff from me No, no, baby, won't keep that stuff from me No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I need you right now mama I need you right now baby Right by my side honey Oh and I love Make me feel alright Yes I, yes I, yes I, I, I... You better come on up and get down with me I'll make you feel real good Just you wait and see Make me feel alright Yes now I feel alright Yes I, yes I, yes I, I...

Feelin' Alright
Dave Mason Seems I got to have a change in scene, 'Cause every night I have the strangest dreams. Imprisoned by the way things used to be, yeah, Left here on my own or so it seems. I got to leave before I start to scream, 'Cause somebody locked the door and took the key. Feelin' alright? I'm not feelin' too good myself. Feelin' alright? I'm not feelin' too good myself. Oooo, Oooo, Oooo, Oooo, Oooo-ooo. Baby, you sure took me on one big ride, And, even now I sit and wonder why. Then, when I think of you, I start to cry, I know I can't get upset and I must keep dry. I got to stop believin' in all your lies, 'Cause I got too much to do before I die. Feelin' alright? I'm not feelin' too good myself. Feelin' alright? I'm not feelin' too good myself. Oooo, Oooo, Oooo, Oooo, Oooo-ooo. Feelin' alright? I'm not feelin' too good myself. Feelin' alright? I'm not feelin' too good myself. Oh, yeah. Feelin' alright? I'm not feelin' too good myself. Feelin' alright? I'm not feelin' too good myself. Oooo, Oooo, Oooo, Oooo, Oooo-ooo.

Gimme Shelter
Mick Jagger/Keith Richards Oooo, oooo, oooo. Oooo, oooo, oooo. Oooo, a storm is threatenin', my very life today. If I don't get some shelter, oh, I'm gonna' fade away. War children, it's just a shot away, it's just a shot away. War children, it's just a shot away, it's just a shot away. Oooo, see the fire sweeping, up every street today. Burns like a red-coal carpet, mad bull lost it's way. War children, it's just a shot away, it's just a shot away. War children, it's just a shot away, it's just a shot away.

I Can Feel Him In The Morning
Don Brewer/Mark Farner Child 1: He kind of started all the plants growing, and he started people. Well, I guess he's kind of big and fat. Child 2: He can see us wherever we do ... whatever we do. He has such powerful eyes -- he has to have millions and thousands and billions. And he can still see us when we're bad. Child 3: He could be sitting on the table right now, but you can't see him. Child 4: He can't be everywhere at once doing everything for everybdy. Everybody can't get what they want. Child 5: Well, his job is to make us good and to make us happy and make us parents happy. Child 6: Good is the right thing and bad is the wrong thing. Child 7: When I'm good my mother never yells at me, when I'm bad she does. Child 8: Good means to obey your mother and father, to do what the teacher says - the things right. I feel miserable when I'm ... when I'm bad… I feel miserable on the inside but, on the outside… I just feel like I ... I feel now. Child 9: I think ... um, um ... there are more people that are bad than there are good. And, um ... if you're good, you'll live forever. And, if you're bad, you'll die when you die ... Take me down to the water, let me feel it run over me. Let me feel the pain and the coldness, the loneliness that there must be. Whoa, can't you see their dreams, as they go drifting by? Whoa, can't you see their faces, and their tear-soaked eyes? I can feel him in the morning, I can feel him in the evening too. I can hear him in the morning, tellin' me what I got to do. Got to make a new world, ought to make the old one right. I can see him in the morning, I can see him in the stars at night. Take me out to the battlefield, let me hear the shells flying by. Let me hear the sound of the cannons, let me hear them scream and cry. Whoa, can't you hear their dreams, as they tumble to the blood-soaked ground? Whoa, hear them scream for shelter, from the world they never found. I can feel him in the morning, I can feel him in the evening too. I can hear him in the morning, tellin' me what I got to do. Got to make a new world, ought to make the old one right. I can see him in the morning, I can see him in the stars at night. Oooo, Oooo, Oooo, Oooo-ooo

Loneliness
Mark Farner Loneliness cries deep from my soul, Keeps trying to tell me about the world growing so cold. Too many people trying to take from my Earth, But we can't live without controlling our birth. Deep inside a voice cries out for you, It's not alone 'cause, people, I been cryin' too. If we don't stop what we all see is wrong, I guarantee you mankind won't live long. There's a land, a glorius land, It's right here on Earth. Understand what you can from the land, Your life is it's worth. Woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh-oh Woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh-oh Woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh-oh To face the problems that everyone's found, We must replace what we took out of the ground. Pray for your brother, let your soul find a way, Help one another, oh, please listen to what I say. There's a land, a glorius land, It's right here on Earth. Understand what you can from the land, Your life is it's worth. Woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh-oh Woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh-oh Woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh-oh Loneliness ...

Trying To Get Away
Mark Farner I been out on the road with my thumb in the air, I'm a long way from home but I just don't care. The dust from the road makes it dry in my mouth, When it's cold up north, that's when I head south. 'Cause I been tryin' to, tryin' to get away, yeah. Tryin' to, tryin' to get away, yeah. I passed through New York just the other day, The smog was bad but not as bad as L.A. Sometimes I wonder what the world's comin' to. Sometimes I wonder what I'm gonna' do. 'Cause I been tryin' to, tryin' to get away, yeah I been tryin' to, tryin' to get away, yeah I been out on the road with my thumb in the air, I'm a long way from home but I just don't care. The dust from the road makes it dry in my mouth, When it's cold up north, that's when I head south. Tryin' to, tryin' to get away ... 'Cause I been tryin' to, tryin' to get away, yeah I been tryin' to, tryin' to get away, yeah 'Cause I been tryin' to, tryin' to get away yeah, yeah, yeah ...

Walk Like A Man (You Can Call Me Your Man)
Don Brewer/Mark Farner Walk like a man, and talk like a man Walk like a man, hey baby, you can call me your man A little girl asked me what am I gonna' do, When I get old and blue and worn clear through? And I say by that time I ought to be in my prime, I'm gonna' strut like a cock until I'm ninety-nine I'm gonna' ... Walk like a man, and talk like a man Walk like a man, hey baby, you can call me your man Sometimes I feel it's gettin' late In life -- all that settlin' down can wait, 'Till my routine days all seem the same Right now, I've got to get on out, I've got to make my day I'm gonna' ... Walk like a man, and talk like a man Walk like a man, hey baby, you can call me your man Walk like a man, and talk like a man Walk like a man, hey baby, you can call me your man

Creepin' - 7:02 
Mark Farner Hey, everybody won't you lend me your ear, There's something to fear, it's here, and that's clear. Men gettin' rich off rapin' the land, I can't understand, why we don't take them in hand. Woah, oh ... Lord, I don't want to be their fool no more. I don't want to be their fool no more. Open eyes, but you're sleepin', You best wake up 'fore tomorrow comes creepin' in. 'Fore tomorrow comes creepin' in. Feel that our lives are in the hands of fools, Loosin' their cool, it's us that they rule. Too many people sittin' dead on their ass, They ain't got no class, people, this time must pass. Woah, oh ... Lord, I don't want to be their fool no more. Hey ... I don't want to be their fool no more. Open eyes, but you're sleepin', You best wake up 'fore tomorrow comes creepin' in. 'Fore tomorrow comes creepin' in. Woah, oh ... yeah, tomorrow comes creepin'. Oh ... hear me cryin' 'cause the people like me, That long to be free, are not actually. Please everybody won't you hear this song, Help a country that's wrong, to someday be strong. Woah, oh ... Lord, I don't want to be their fool no more. No! Lord, I don't want to be their fool no more. Open eyes, but you're sleepin', You best wake up 'fore tomorrow comes creepin'. Creepin' ... Creepin' ...

Mark Farner Don't really want to fall out of love, And baby I need a lovin' shove, To get back in, Lord, to get back in To get back in once again, baby Oooo, baby when times are good, You know they couldn't get no better if they tried to But there's a question standing where I stood, You know you act just like the person that's been lied to You ain't been treatin' me like you know you should, There's been a change in your way Remember what it's like when love is good, And remember the chorus 'cause I wrote it for us Don't really want to fall out of love, And baby I need a lovin' shove, To get back in, oh, to get back in To get back in once again You know I love that girl with all my heart, And, like wine, with age it gets better But I don't like trouble, and when trouble starts, It's the times I wish I could forget her If you give 'em an inch, boy, then they'll take a mile, And gettin' it back's so hard to do They'll take advantage of your gentle style, But you've got to forgive them, 'cause you're tryin' to live with them Woah ... woah Woah, woah ... woah To get back in, to get back in, to get back in once again To get back in, to get back in, to get back in once again, babe To get back in ...
