Please remember me, I am here to stay
Everything we see is for us to be
I do believe that you can come along
Please remember me
Please remember me

Listen to a sound, it is for your ears
If you like the sound, you can keep it here
It's like you know exactly what to bring
Please remember me
Please remember me

GUESS AGAIN (Lovera/Moore)

Guess again, you were wrong
I am where you belong
Guess again, I believe
If you want, leave
If you want leave
Then you leave

Guess again, virgin sign
Can I please lay your mind?
Guess again, I was right
You are in sight
All your might
You are in sight

And every mind is here to stay
Won't get washed away
How you end what always was
And every mind is here to stay
Won't get washed away, no
How you end what always was

Guess again, you are close
I am proud, I can boast
Guess again, here's the thing
Do anything you want
You can do anything
I say you can
You can do anything
I say you can

MAN OF ME

I've got better things to do
Than try to talk at you
So listen or I'll turn the other way
I've got better things to see
Than listening to me
So please be with me when I leave today

You've got feelings there inside
Will you ever let it ride
Into the simply endless man of me?

I know you're tired and you can't go on
You're tired and you can't go on
Though I know I've never done you wrong
Tired and you can't go on

I'VE BEEN HERE BEFORE

Walkin' down 8th Avenue
My pockets filled with mist
I hold my guitar willfully
And chain it to my fist
My head is filled with songs I've lost
I haven't got a list
I see a line of picket signs
They call me to the door
But I just turn and shake my head
I've been here before

Standing on a welfare line
That's giving out free bread
Nobody seems to want to show
They'd rather have you dead
The speeches that the heroes make
Are worthless once they're said
And disillusion is the thing
It reeks from every pore
But I just turn and shake my head
I've been here before

Winter is so chilly
But I'm turning toward the wind
For everything is lost today
Like medals that are pinned
My mind is cursing all the men who say
That everyone but them have sinned
And like a morning angel
I can melt into the floor
But I just turn and shake my head
I've been here before

Walkin' down 8th Avenue
My pockets filled with mist
I say hello to Jesus Christ
He doesn't talk in jest
The picture that he sees has put him to
It's put him to the test
And so I ask, well Jesus
Are you coming back for more?
But he just turns and shakes his head
I've been here before

JACKIE

Why did you cast me aside?
Are you running away from yourself?
Jackie, Jackie, Jackie
Are you running away from yourself?

Why did it suddenly end?
Are you running away from a love?
Jackie, Jackie, Jackie
Are you running away from a love?

Jackie, Jackie, oh Jackie
Are you running away from a love?
Are you running away from a love?

PLUS DOZENS MORE

I am free to gaze upon
The view beyond the shore
Letting you who see me now
Be thankful ever more
And I'm sure they'll bill me
Selling words to thrill me
People sore quite are a bore
I'll give you one plus dozens more

Give me time and let me come
I'll give you take a week
Tell me that the world is square
And I'll recite new speech
Church bells ring a wedding
To the ace we're heading
Barrymore was said to snore
I'll give you one plus dozens more

Let them mold you my dear son
Tell it wise that you have won
Oh, they're rotten to the core
I'll give you one plus dozens more

Oh, I wish that I could bulb
A green and purple flame
And I'd take the JCP's
And show them where we came
Crust has turned to mud ash
They have worn a red sash
Keeping score is quite a chore
I'll give you one plus dozens more

Let them mold you my dear son
Tell it wise that you have won
Oh, they're rotten to the core
I'll give you one plus dozens more

And I'm sure they'll bill me
Selling words to thrill me
Keeping score is quite a chore
I'll give you one plus dozens more
I'll give you one plus dozens more
I'll give you one plus dozens more
I'll give you one plus dozens more

MAXIMUM/THE REPLY

Maximum, it's reached an end
To all it was and all it meant to be
You know I offer you the gift
And you drink it deep in time

Maximum, you've had your fill
Of all the sights upon your head
I have a list of things you'd like to know
And you'll understand I know

People scream about the world
Don't they know that God
Is always them inside

Maximum, no other way
To look at things the way they are
I feel a change in me
My life begins again
Again
Again

SING

Once upon a time
There was a song
And you learned to sing the lines
You found within

Thought the words were few
You remembered only two
And the words you chose
Now will always be with you

So then, love songs weren't made
At all, you see
Because love songs are themselves
They're just as free

When you sing it clear
You can always bring it near
Now the notes will chime
You can hear it come to rhyme

Sing me please
And if you please
Remember these few lines

THIS IS YOUR LUCKY DAY

This is your lucky day
Finish up your task
This is your lucky day
But no need to ask
You have all that you need

John Meher was thrity-one
His eyes were colorblind
John said, "The time has come
The purpose I shall find
Yes, I shall find a way!"

John worked his hands in wood
And he worked in zinc
A wheel that spins eternally
Is what shall be the brink
So he worked on the wheel

He worked (and planned) for many weeks
Imbalancement's the key
It turns, for rest is what it seeks
But this can never be
For the weight stays toward the top

(spoken) "John Meher, you cannot build a wheel that spins eternally! Perpetual motion is against all governed laws of science! Why, the damn thing doesn't even burn fuel! You cannot tamper with that which has been proven impossible! You just can't do it!"

John said, "You're full of it!
I've proven it, you see
Most laws are there to say
'A thing can never be'
Ah, just settle for the rest."

This is your lucky day
Finish up your task
This is your lucky day
But no need to ask
You have all that you need
You have all that you need

COMING'S END (Coventry)

It seems to be coming near
The time when you'll be gone
My faith seems to disappear
With every coming line

I know that my mind can cause me pain
That's why I must stop this constant rain

I know you are with me still
I wonder for how long
Maybe for another day
But maybe not that long

I know when it's time for us to go
We both have the sense for each to go

I know that my mind can cause me pain
That's why I must stop this constant rain
This constant rain
This constant rain

EVERY MAN DESERVES THE BEST

One gray afternoon
You came here too soon
And so you turned to cite
Those things of width and height
So changing all I thought was here

Now you want to know
All that I can show
But what about the dead?
Whoever could be led
To think that those kinds of minds had lived

For every man deserves the best
To do that which he thinks is best
For every man deserves the best

But what about the dead?
Whoever could be led
To think that those kinds of minds had lived

Please remember this

Gone we won't be missed
And every man deserves the best
For every man deserves the best
For every man deserves the best
The best
The best.
