From Live at the Fillmore East (1998) by Jefferson Airplane

Intro/The Ballad of You and Me and Pooneil (Kantner) - 8:35

If you were a bird and you lived very high,
You'd lean on the wind when the breeze came by,
You'd say to the wind as it took you away,
That's where I wanted to go today"
And I do know that I need to have you around
Love like a mountain springtime,
Flashing through the rivers of my mind;
It's what I feel for you.
You and me go walking south
And we see all the world around us,
The colors blind my eyes and my mind to all but you,
And I do know that I need to have you around,
And I do, I do know that I need to have you around.
I have a house where I can go
When there's too many people around me;
I can sit and watch all the people
Down below goin' by me;
Halfway down the stair is a stair
Where I sit and think about you and me;
But I wonder will the sun still see all the people goin' by.
Will the moon still hang in the sky when I die,
When I die, when I'm high, when I die?
If you were a cloud and you sailed up there,
You'd sail on water as blue as air,
You'd see me here in the fields and say,
"Doesn't the sky look green today?"

She Has Funny Cars (Balin, Kaukonen) - 3:56

Every day I try so hard to know your mind
And find out what's inside you
Time goes on and I don't know just where you are
Or how I'm going to find you

You can do whatever you please
The world's waiting to be seized
You can collect all neglect
Or all the self-respect you need, what you need

And I know... and I know... and I know

Your mind's guaranteed
It's all you'll ever need
So what do you want with me?

We live but once
But good things can be found around
In spite of all the sorrow

If you see black
You can't look back
You can't look front
You cannot face tomorrow

Some have it nice
Fat and round, flash, paradise
They're very wise to their disguise
Trying to revolutionize tomorrow

And I know... and I know... and I know

Your mind's guaranteed
It's all you'll ever need
So what do you want with me?

It's No Secret (Balin) - 3:41

It's no secret
How strong my love is for you
It's no secret
When I tell you what I'm gonna do
'cause I love you, yes I love you

It's no secret
Everybody knows how I feel
It's no secret
When I say my love is real
'cause I love you, yes I love you

It's no secret
When you got me jumping up and down
It's no secret
'cause my heart is chained and bound
I love you, yes I love you, Yearh

It's no secret
Everybody knows how I feel

As I get older
The year sake get's heavy for you
Wow
It isn't any young girl
I feel like my whole life is through
Yearh, when I stop feeling how strong my love is for you
Wow
I know I'll be empty watching your love like I do

It's no secret (no)
When you got me jumping up and down
It's no secret
'cause my heart is chained and bound
I love you, yes I love you, Yearh

It's no secret
Everybody knows how I feel
It's no secret
Everybody knows how I feel
It's no secret

Won't You Try Saturday Afternoon (Kantner) - 5:07

Won't you try
Won't you try
Won't you try
Find a way to need someone
Find a way to see
Find a way to need someone and the sunshine will set you free
Won't you try
With love before were gone
Wont you try
Wont you try
Wont you try

Saturday afternoon
Saturday afternoon
When your head is feeling fine
You can ride inside our car
I will give you caps of blue and silver sunlight for your hair
All that soon will be is what you need to see, my love
Won't you try
Won't you try
I do care that you do see
Is it time to leave, my lady
Yes it is I know
Round about and everywhere sunshine instead of snow
Times can't change that what I say is true

Oooooh oooh
Ill come through for you
And ill come through for you, my love
Wont you try
Wont you try
Wont you try
Wont you try
Saturday afternoon
Yellow clouds rising in the noon
Acid incense and ballons
Saturday afternoon
People dancing everywhere ,loudly shouting i dont care
Its a time for growing and a time for knowing
Saturday afternoon
Saturday afternoon (wont you try)
Saturday afternoon (wont you try)
Saturday afternoon ( wont you try )
Wont you try (saturday afternoon)
Wont you try ( saturday afternoon)
Wont you try
Wont you try

Greasy Heart (Slick) - 4:05

Lady, you keep asking why he likes you how come
Wonder why he wants more if he just had some
Boys, she's got more to play with in the way of toys
Ladies eyes go off and on with a finger full of glue
Lips are drawn upon her face in come-to-me tattoo
Creamy suntan color that fades when she bathes
Paper dresses catch on fire & you lose her in the haze
Don't ever change lady, he likes you that way because
He just had his hair done and he wants to use your wig
He's going off the drug thing cause his veins are getting big
He wants to sell his paintings but the market is slow
They're only paying him two grams now for a one-man abstract show
Don't ever change people even if you can
You are your own best toy to play with remote control hands
Made for each other made in Japan
Woman with a greasy heart, automatic man
Don't ever change people your face will hit the fan
Don't ever change people even if you can
Don't change before the empire falls
You'll laugh so hard you'll crack the walls

Star Track (Kaukonen) - 7:36

If your head spins round try to see the ground if you can
My busy eyes missed her path through the air as she ran
My sensory mind is too old to cry
Not ready to live and too strange to die
So stop your doubt push the world on by
With your hand

It takes time to love and open minds to love
And who's got time on their hands
Well life can be hard when you're holes in a card
In some electronic hand
You'll wander around from place to place
Disappear without a trace
And someone else will take your place
In line

You can fool your friends about the way it ends
But you can't fool yourself
Take your head in hand and make your own demands
Or you'll crystallize on the shelf
The freeway's concrete way won't show
You where to run or how to go
And running fast you'll go down slow in the end

Running fast you'll go down slow in the end

Wild Tyme (Kantner) - 3:21

It's a wild time!
I see people all around me changing faces!
It's a wild time!
I see love all the time!
I'm doing things that haven't got a name yet;
I need love, your love.
It don't matter if it's rain or shine.
I'm here for you anv old time stay here, play here.
Make a place for yourself here.
I want to be with you, no matter what I do,
What doesn't change is the way
I feel for you today.
Times just seem so good.
I do know that I should be here with you this way,
And it's new, so new.
I see changes, changes all around me are changes.

White Rabbit (Slick) - 2:58

One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you
Don't do anything at all
Go ask Alice
When she's ten feet tall

And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you're going to fall
Tell'em a hookah smoking caterpillar
Has given you the call
Call Alice
When she was just small

When men on the chessboard
Get up and tell you where to go
And you've just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving low
Go ask Alice
I think she'll know

When logic and proportion
Have fallen softly dead
And the White Knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen's off with her head
Remember what the doormouse said:
"Feed your Head
Feed your Head!"

Thing (Casady, Dryden, Kantner, Kaukonen) - 11:28

Today (Balin, Kantner) - 3:39

Today I feel like pleasing you more than before
Today I know what I want to do but I don't know what for
To be living for you is all I want to do
To be loving you it'll all be there when my dreams come true
Today you'll make me say that I somehow have changed
Today you'll look into my eyes, I'm just not the same
To be anymore than all I am would be a lie
I'm so full of love I could burst apart and start to cry
Today everything you want, I swear it all will come true
Today I realize how much I'm in love with you
With you standing here I could tell the world what it means to love
To go on from here I can't use words, they don't say enough
Please, please listen to *****me******
It's taken so long to come true
And it's all for you
All for you....

The Other Side of This Life (Neil) - 5:13

Would you like to know a secret just between you and me
I don't know where I'm going next, I don't know who I'm gonna be
But that's the other side of this life I've been leading
That's the other side of this life.

Well my whole world's in an uproar, my whole world's upside down
I don"t know where I'm going next, but I'm always bumming around
And that's another side to this life I've been leading
And that's another side to this life

Well I don't know what doing for half the time, I don't know where I'm going
I think I'll get me a sailing boat and sail the Gulf of Mexico
But that's another side of this life I've been leading
And that's another side of this life

Well I think I'll go to Nashville down in Tennesse
The ten cent life I've been leading here gonna be the death of me
But that's the other side of this life I've been leading
And that's another side to this life

Would you like to know a secret just between you and me
I don't know where I'm going next, I don't know who I'm gonna be
But that's the other side of this life I've been leading
But that's the other side of this life.

Fat Angel (Donovan) - 9:04

He will bring happiness in a pipe
He'll ride away on his silver bike
And apart from that
He'll be so kind in consenting to blow your mind
Fly Translove Airways gets you there on time
Fly Jefferson Airplane gets you there on time
He will bring orchids for my lady the parfume will be an excellent kind
And apart from that he'll be so kind in consenting to blow your mind
Fly Translove Airways gets you there on time
Fly Jefferson Airplane gets you there on time

Watch Her Ride (Kantner) - 3:12

I didn't know you were the one for me, I couldn't see
But you were waiting,
For someone to come along to help you out to sing your song,
And I was changing;
All I see is you; All I feel is you for me!

And I would really like to watch you ride;
And always feel you by my side;
I would really like to watch you ride
All on me!

I go stumbling to the sky, and I seem to fly so high
I see you, I feel you;
You have a way of walking 'round your feet they never touch the ground,
And you are shining;
All I see is you; All I feel is you for me!

Times don't change; Times don't ever change for me;
And I know that you could be the only thing in my world,
The only thing that my mind would find;
For love, for love and peace of mind, for me, for me; Oh

Your Shadow in the morning sun becomes my fun, and we can say,
"I love you, love you;"
My morning shines on silver beaches, your light flashes to the reaches
Of my mind, my mind, of
My mind, and my mind it comes alive with you;
It's all that I can do to sit here and let you blow my mind;
Ah! My mind,
You're so fine, in my mind you're so fine, in my mind you're so fine,
You're so fine, in my mind, you're so fine in mind.

Somebody to Love (Slick, Slick) - 3:21

When the truth is found to be lies
And all the joy within you dies
Don't you want somebody to love
Don't you need somebody to love
Wouldn't you love somebody to love
You better find somebody to love

When the garden flowers baby are dead yes
And your mind [, your mind] is [so} full of red
Don't you want somebody to love
Don't you need somebody to love
Wouldn't you love somebody to love
You better find somebody to love

Your eyes, I say your eyes may look like his
But in your head baby I'm afraid you don't know where it is
Don't you want somebody to love
Don't you need somebody to love
Wouldn't you love somebody to love
You better find somebody to love

Tears are running [down,] down your breast
And your friends baby they treat you like a guest
Don't you want somebody to love
Don't you need somebody to love
Wouldn't you love somebody to love
You better find somebody to love
