Take Old Henry
04:11

I have to wonder
about people’s lives
And what perpetuates below the veneer
Now take old Henry, a solid piece of work
a bit of a wheel, a knower of things
He played some kind of part in some long forgotten battle
Where he conjured a racket and skipped town with the loot
A sharp rye grin, spoke of his time with the ladies
on that foreign soil, could have been true
I have to wonder
about people’s lives
And what perpetuates below the veneer
Now he’s a rounder on that crazy frozen avenue
knows how to ramble, hasn’t forgotten how to gamble
Another Japanese fable, talking ‘bout messing with the law
and how it didn’t end very satisfactorily
I can’t hear you, he said, over all the racket
I have to wonder
about people’s lives
And what perpetuates below the veneer
I have to wonder

Slow Down, Summer Night
04:40

Steel blue water
Soft and warm is your breeze
Sailing into the dark night
To take us away
slow down summer night x 4
When the day begins to settle down,
we would all go down there
to the east side of the city
where the water meets the sand
slow down summer night x 4
And if the evening is just right
you can see clear to Ohio
Oh, how lucky it was
like another place in time
slow down summer night x 4

Good Time

I’ve been in love, I’ve been in lust
And I’ve left lovers in the dust
I’ve never promised to be true
So I’ll say this now to you
All I’ve got to give is a good time
I’ll make you dinner, buy you a drink
Tell you a nod’s as good as a wink
I’ll even make you breakfast
As I tell you that it won’t last
‘cause all I’ve got to give is a good time
Good time Charlie
Good time Joe
Good time Farley
Good time Moe
Of all the people you’ll ever know
I’m the one who’ll be the first to go
Goodbye lover, goodbye friend
You should have known it was bound to end
I gave you fair warning
I’d be gone in the morning
‘cause all I’ve got to give is a good time
Never wanted to break a home
But I’ve never liked to be alone
So, look after your woman
Or I’ll be assuming’
Someone else is lookin’ for a real good time
Good time Charlie
Good time Joe
Good time Farley
Good time Moe
Of all the people you’ll ever know
I’m the one who’ll be the first to go

Step It Up

There’s some place I got to be
There’s someone I got to know
Gonna be late, I should go
Wind the clock and melt the snow
Step it up
Somebody there is calling me
to the end of the world or the country
Get it done like a buzzing bee
We is never going to be set free
Step it up
Tie my shirt to a golden thread
Now you’ve got something over my head
Won’t get tired or I’ll soon be dead
Cut off a piece of that fine white bread
