1. _ Harbour Lights
Harbour lights will change your plans
More than judge or jury can
What a sight
Flickerin' like prayers of grace
How could you ever lose this place?
What a sight
But i'm sure i don't stand
A ghost of a chance
To stay here past the time, when all my checks run out
To stay here past the time, when all my checks... run... out
Chinese junks are driftin' in
The foghorn blows its low warnin'
Across the stars
Glistening fluorescent tears
Finally know what kept me here
Harbour lights
And i wonder if you
Are makin' it through
We all hang from a single thread and a thousand truths
We all hang from a single thread and a thousand... truths
Harbour lights will change your plans
More than judge or jury can
What a sight
But i'm sure i don't stand
A ghost of a chance
To stay here past the time, when all my checks run out
And i wonder if you
Are makin' it through
I wonder under which moon do you sleep tonight
I wonder under which moon do you say... good... night

2. _ Shine A Light
( written by jagger/richards )
Saw you stretched out in room ten o nine
With a smile on your face and a tear right in your eye.
Couldn't see to get a line on you, my sweet honey love.
Berber jew'lry jangling down the street,
Make you shut your eyes at ev'ry woman that you meet.
Could not seem to get a high on you, my sweet honey love.
May the good lord shine a light on you,
Make every song [you sing] your favorite tune.
May the good lord shine a light on you,
Warm like the evening sun.
Well, you're in the alley, baby, with your clothes all torn
And your late night friends leave you in the cold gray dawn.
Just seemed too many flies on you, i just can't brush them off.
Angels beating all their wings in time,
With smiles on their faces and a gleam right in their eyes.
Thought i heard on sigh for you,
Come on up, come on up, now, come on up now.
May the good lord shine a light on you,
Make every song [you sing] your favorite tune.
May the good lord shine a light on you,
Warm like the evening sun.

3. _ Cello Song
( written by nick drake )
Strange face, with your eyes
So pale and sincere
Underneath you know well
You have nothing to fear
For the dreams that come to you when so young
Told of a life
Where spring is sprung
You would seem so frail
In the cold of the night
When the armies of emotion
Go out to fight
But while the earth sinks to its grave
You sail to the sky
On the crest of a wave
So forget this cruel world
Where i belong
I'll just sit and wait
And sing my song
And if one day you should see me in the crowd
Lend a hand and lift me out
To your place in the cloud

4. _ Inauguration Day
I'm up to my neck
In the mud of inauguration day
They say it's one in fifty years
That storm, that blew my dog away
And they say the road has been washed out
From rockport to concrete
And all the trees are falling down
And now, heaven's at my feet
My wishes do my beggin' for me
And like a beggar they do [learn / laugh]
Frozen fingers touch my face
They tie a blindfold 'round my eyes
And i'm stuck at this roadblock
Chasing fog and smoke
I guess the price of doing thhat was just
Another killing joke
Wash me down
Wash me down
Sing for me now
Sing for me now
Wash me from the hillside
And wash me from the dirt
Wash me from your worldly claims
And wash me, wash me from your hurt
'cause i'm up to my neck
In the mud of inauguration day

5. _ Forever Gone
Streaks of light
On the graveyard walk
Your bright star was crashin'
Crashin' the dark
Dreamed of a cold night
To freeze it in place
Dreamed of ship bells and thunder
Ringin' us under
Dreamed all the way home
That you'd never go
Talked up and down it
Mornin', noon and night
Alone in the optimists chair
Said our instincts were right
But now i know the clean choice
Was the worst choice of all
I'd rather feel guilt
Than this desert inside
I'd rather steal wicked
Than lay down in pride
Gone forever
Forever gone
Made a mess of this town
But that's what we always do
Throwin' glass to the floor
Now it's cuttin' right through
More than a year's time
'til ya give up the scheme
My wood matches meltin'
The ghosts from your wedding ring
Never trusted fate
But i wish that i had
Fate is what answered
Your slow cry for help
Fate was your motive
Your fate was yourself
Gone forever
Forever gone
Made a mess of this town
But that's what we always do
Throwin' glass to the floor
Now it's cuttin' right through
Gone forever
Forever gone
I'd rather feel guilt
Than this desert inside
I'd rather steal wicked
Than lay down in pride
Seems like a long time... oooh!

6. _ Nightbirds
The nightbirds stumble in
Like broken pendulums
The nightbirds stumble in
Flown from thick to thin
'neath a cloud of suspicion
You're a lucky man
Say it again
The nightrain's pourin' down
As the nightsky hits the town
The nightbirds stumble in
There are orders to be filled
There are tall ones to be killed
There are songs of praises to be sung
Will they all go south on us?
With the crazies, with our trust?
I trust you'll tell me
If you lose that trust
The nightrain's pourin' down
As the nightsky hits the town
The nightbirds stumble in
You're a lucky man
Say it again
I'm a lucky man
Say it again

7. _ On The Beach
( written by neil young )
The world is turning, i hope it don't turn away
The world is turning, i hope it don't turn away
All my pictures are falling
From the wall where i placed them yesterday
The world is turning, i hope it don't turn away
I need a crowd of people, but i can't face them day to day
I need a crowd of people, but i can't face them day to day
Though my problems are meaningless
That don't make them go away
I need a crowd of people, but i can't face them day to day
I went to the radio interview, but i ended up alone at the microphone
I went to the radio interview, but i ended up alone at the microphone
Now i'm living out here on the beach
But those seagulls are still out of rach
I went to the radio interview, but i ended up alone at the microphone
Get outta town, i think i'll get outta town
Get outta town, i think i'll get outta town
I head for the stick [mumble mumble mumble]
I follow a road i don't know where it goes
Get outta town, i think i'll get outta town
Cos the world is turning, i hope it don't turn away

8. _ Big Black Car
( written by alex chilton )
Driving in my big black car
Nothing can go wrong
I'm going and i don't know how far
So, so long
Maybe i'll sleep in a holiday inn
Nothing can hurt me
Nothing can touch me
Why should i care
Driving [ ? ] [gas?]
It ain't gonna last
Sunny day, highway
If it rains it's all the same
I can't feel the fear (?)
I can't feel a thing
[ ? ] big black car
Nothing can hurt me
Nothing can hurt me
[ ? ? ? from here on i just can't make it out . . . ]

9. _ Like A Hurricane
( written by neil young )
Once i thought i saw you in a crowded, hazy bar,
Dancing on the light from star to star
Far across the moon beams, i know that's who you are.
I saw your brown eyes turning once to fire.
You are like a hurricane: there's calm in your eye.
And i'm getting blown away.
There's somewhere safer where the feelings stay.
I wanna love you but i'm getting blown away.
I am just a dreamer, but you are just a dream,
And you could have been anyone to me.
Before that moment you touched my lips,
That perfect feeling when time just slips
Away between us and our foggy trips.
You are like a hurricane: there's calm in your eye.
And i'm getting blown away.
There's somewhere safer where the feelings stay.
I wanna love you but i'm getting blown away.
[here chris sings a verse frome "smokeonthewater" by deep purple:] we all came down to/from montreaux
The lake geneva shoreline
Some stupid with a flare-gun
Burnt the place to the ground
You are like a hurricane: there's calm in your eye.
And i'm getting blown away.
There's somewhere safer where the feelings stay.
I wanna love you but i'm getting blown away.

10. _ Yesterday Is Here
( written by tom waits and kathleen brennan )
If you want money in your pocket
And a top hat on your head
A hot meal on your table
And a blanket on your bed
Well today is grey skies
Tomorrow is tears
You'll have to wait til yesterday is here
I'm going to new york city
And i'm leaving on a train
And if you want to stay behind and wait
Til i come back again
Well today is grey skies
And tomorrow is tears
You'll have to wait til yesterday is here
If you want to go
Where the rainbows end
You'll have to say goodbye
All our dreams come true
Baby up ahead
And it's out where your memories lie
Well the road's out before me
The moon is shining bright
What i want you to remember
As i disappear tonight
Today is grey skies
Tomorrow is tears
You'll have to wait til yesterday is here
