Glory, Glory (Reynolds) - 4:05
Glory, glory, Halleluja since I laid my burden down
Glory, glory, Halleluja since I laid my burden down
Glory, glory, Halleluja since I laid my burden down
Well I feel so much better, so much better
since I laid my burden down
I feel so so much better, so much better
since I laid my burden down
Glory, glory....
Thank you Jesus, thank you Jesus
Help me lay my burden down
I wanna thank you Jesus
I wanna thank you Jesus
Help me lay my burden down
Glory, glory...
Pale Blue (McGuinn) - 2:24
Oh I love you in the morning
when the sun comes shining through
And I love you in the daylight
when the sheets turn pale blue
Oh I want to be your lover
and to have you all alone
But my womanґs got another
and I havenґt got a home
Someday Iґll stop my traveling
Settle down with you
And I see you in the daylight
when the sheets turn pale blue
I Trust (McGuinn) - 3:21
In times of despair
I think about the good things that youґve done
And although youґre not there
I sometimes ask myself is anyone
Itґs hard beeing human when the whole worldґs uptight
But somehow I know
that everythingґs gonna work out alright
I might lose my patience
wonґt you please try to understand
Iґve got an obligation
and I intend to face them to take my stand
Itґs so hard beeing human when only troubleґs in sight
But somehow I know
that everythingґs gonna work out alright
Stick by me baby inspite of my faults
Thatґs all I want you to do
And try to help me when Iґm down
and Iґll take good care of you
I wanna thank you
for all the loving that you give
It brightens my feelings
and gives me the strength I need to live
Itґs so hard beeing human when only troubleґs in sight
But somehow I know
that everythingґs gonna work out alright
Tunnel of Love (Batin/Fowley) - 5:02
I ran to tunnel of love
You were no longer sparking clean
Well my boat got stuck in the fog
Here I used to go swim in the stream
The gates of the tunnel came closed
Whoa my ghost was standing there by the door
So I splashed back out to the street
Nothing was there anymore
The water was floating with graves
Where cotton candy should be
And get this
And girls in black robes were dancing around
And touching their fingers to me
Oh I blackened my windows with soot
And sandbagged the doors real good
And didn't emerge from hiding
Until the fallout was through
The water was floating with graves
Where cotton candy should be
And get this
And girls in black robes were dancing around
And touching their fingers to me
And touching their fingers to me
And touching their fingers to me
And touching their fingers to me
Citizen Kane (Batin/Fowley) - 2:37
Fat ugly fat man swam in a red tire made of stone
A painted lady paddled next to him with two poodles on her lap
Garbo quietly picked a flower
While the chauffeur won his check again
And Barrymore took an noname out and diamond fell like rain
Cisco Kid and a bald headed waitress trapped underneath a bed of brass
The french cook served them chocolates and some cold cuts on the grass
Louilla ripped her zebra pants in the polo lounge
And Errol Flynn was not let in cause he was coming down
Up in Zanadu diamonds fell like rain
Citizen Kane was king poor Citizen Kane
Valentino suddenly appeared in his midnight blue tuxedo
Had a falcon on his shoulder eating chicken from his hands
And Fatty Arbuckel waddled by on way to the bath house green
Frankenstein ate the leading lady and licked the carcass clean
Up in Zanadu diamonds fell like rain
Citizen Kane was king poor Citizen Kane
I Wanna Grow up to Be a Politician (Levy/McGuinn) - 2:06
I wanna grow up to be a politician
and take over this beautiful land
I wanna grow up to be a politician
and be the old USofA's number one man
I'll always be tough, I'll never be scary
I want to shoot guns or butter my bread
I'll work on the towns or conservate the prairies
And you can believe the futureґs ahead
I'll give the young the right to vote
as soon as they mature
But spare the rod and spoil the child
to help them feel secure
And if I win election day
I'll sign the bill to help the poor
to show Iґm not snob
I'll open my door, I'm chargin' no admission
And you can be sure I'll give you my hand
I'll be glad you got me in everything I do
and I'll defend until the end
the old red, white and blue
I want to grow up...
Absolute Happiness (Battin/Fowley) - 2:40
Dressed in country cloth and sitting on the floor
Warmed by antique sun amid the green timber
Held together by uncertainty, climb the Babel tower
Looking up instead of down, we need room to gamble
Sunday morning exercises started stand alone
Filling in the vacant spaces with the dreams of truth
Intimitations slowly sinking in, see the dreams we dreamed
Looking up instead of down still a-hiding
Absolute happiness unties the ropes that bind
Greatness and unity shines within the mind
Shines within the mind
So long ago I promised to conscience and easily wrote a code
So the Lord and I'll soon be back together again
Men'll always be equal times a bad connection
Looking up instead of down only good prevails
Absolute happiness unties the ropes that bind
Greatness and unity shines within the mind
Shines within the mind
Green Apple Quick Step (Parsons/White) - 1:51

My Destiny (Carter) - 3:40
Cursed with sorrow, pain and remorse
Full of feelings I can't show
Hopeless love what else for me
Is this my destiny
God in heaven surely meant
For every man somewhere a mate
Someone stole my love from me is this my destiny
At night I toss and wonder why
I must live while others die
The grave would be an escape for me this is my destiny
SOLO
At night I toss and wonder why
I must live while others die
The grave would be an escape for me this is my destiny
Is this my destiny
Kathleen's Song (Levy/McGuinn) - 2:44
When I awake you will be gone
Shady tomorrow
I want to go, where will you be
So I'll stay home letting my hair grow long
And I will be waiting for you
A fire burns, summer is gone
Winter is sorrow
And time don't mean nothing to me
And only the hours listen to hear my song
And I will be walking in dew
And I will be waiting for you
Some people say love goes away not mine
Four roses red for your cheeks I will borrow
and find romance for you to see
A surge of blue tells me your love is strong
Each spring my life is starting anew
And I will be waiting for you
Jamaica Say You Will (Browne) - 3:36
Jamaica was the lovely one, I played her well
As we lay in the tall grass where the shadows fell
Hiding from the children so they would not tell
We would stay there 'till her sister rang the evening bell
Jamaica, say you will
Help me find a way to fill these empty hours
Say you will come again tomorrow
The daughter of a captain on the rolling seas
She would stare across the water from the trees
Last time he was home he held her on his knees
And said the next time they would sail away just where they pleased
Jamaica, say you will
Help me find a way to fill these lifeless sails
And stay until my ships can find the sea
Jamaica was a sweet young one, I loved her true
She was a comfort and a mercy through and through
Hiding from this world together, next thing I knew
We had brought her things down to the bay -- what could I do
Jamaica, say you will
Help me find a way to fill these sails
And we will sail until our waters have run dry
Just Like a Woman (Dylan) - 3:59
Nobody feels any pain
Tonight as I stand inside the rain
Ev'rybody knows that Baby's got new clothes
But lately I see her ribbons and her bows
Have fallen from her curls.
She takes just like a
woman, yes, she does
She makes love just like
a woman, yes, she does
And she aches just like a woman
But she breaks just like a little girl.
Queen Mary, she's my friend
Yes, I believe I'll go see her again
Nobody has to guess
that Baby can't be blessed
Till she sees finally
that she's like all the rest
With her fog, her
amphetamine and her pearls.
She takes just like a
woman, yes, she does
She makes love just like
a woman, yes, she does
And she aches just like a woman
But she breaks just like a little girl.
It was raining from the first
And I was dying there of thirst
So I came in here
And your long-time curse hurts
But what's worse
Is this pain in here
I can't stay in here
Ain't it clear that—
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.
Ah, you fake just like a
woman, yes, you do
You make love just like a
woman, yes, you do
Then you ache just like a woman
But you break just like a little girl.
Pale Blue (McGuinn/Parsons) - 2:36
Oh I love you in the morning
when the sun comes shining through
And I love you in the daylight
when the sheets turn pale blue
Oh I want to be your lover
and to have you all alone
But my womanґs got another
and I havenґt got a home
Someday Iґll stop my traveling
Settle down with you
And I see you in the daylight
when the sheets turn pale blue
Think I'm Gonna Feel Better (Clark) - 6:03
I think I'm gonna feel better when tomorrow comes
When I see the sun through my window
I think that everything is going to be all right
Though I know that you have found another
I hope you understand that I
Still love you so bad
But when tomorrow morning comes
I hope that you will see the sun shine too
Come shining through
I think I'm gonna feel better when tomorrow comes
When I see the sun
When I see the sun
