1. _ Ebony Eyes
Written by bob welch.
Have you seen that girl on the corner
I'd like to take her out of her chains
Cause if i had my way with you baby
I would be chaging your life today
(chorus)
Your eyes got me dreaming
Your eyes got me blind
Your eyes got me hoping
That i'll be holding close tonight
(repeat chorus)
She was the same as a hundred ladies
But when my eyes looked at her i learned
That she was keeping a secret fire
And if i got real close i'd burn
And so it looked like i had to move slowly
Just like a cat at night in the trees
Cause i was waiting for her to show me
That way that she liked her love to feel
(repeat chorus)
Ebony eyes....

2. _ Church
Written by bob welch.
Well come down from your church
And talk to a man
Who knows that he loves you
And wants to understand
He knows why you cry
When you were young
You got down on your knees
You prayed for someone
Someone you could believe
Yeah, you put your faith
Right in his hands
Oh, when he let go
You couldn |

4. _ B666
Written by bob welch.
We're livin a madhouse, you know
Digital religions' runnin' the whole show
See that guy over there
Rolling his eyes & tearing his hair
He controls deploymentof a thousand phantom jets
Slouching towards bethlehem
Up to his tricks
Dealing with a real b666
Were livin'in a madhouse, you know
Nothing works & the jerks are runnin' the whole show
See that guy over
Conversing with the empty air
Well he wrote all the programs on a million tape machines
Slouching towards bethlehem
Up to his tricks
Dealing with a real b666
Well you've seen him before, in the past
He was there at first, he'll be there at last
But i just couldn't help tryin' to warn ya
Cause he's slouching towards bethlehem to be born
You're just one of his million programming tricks
Dealing with a real b666

You got those big dark eyes that flash at me, baby
You got a head on your shoulders, you know what i mean

7. _ Black Book
King of the mountain, you thought you were the top of the heap
You like takin’ what other guys tried to keep
Here’s a fact, it’s fair to warn ya
She bought a ticket to California
California
California
Chorus:
So look who’s laughing now
You’d find out somehow
Baby’s got a black book
Your baby’s got a black book
Say, baby’s got a black book
She’s got a black book too
Alright
Check out the smile, behind your back she’ll turn around
It’s such a gas to see somebody put you down
The way you treat her, how long you think you’d hang around?
I watch your smile fallin’ to the ground
Fall to the ground
Fall to the ground
Chorus
I’m in her black book
It’s where I wanted to be, yeah
I’m in her black book, on page number three
In that black book
The word is out, you don’t believe it, but it’s true
How does it feel when she does what she does to you?
It’s all been spent, you’ve nothin’ for a rainy day
How does it feel to hear all the people say
What she does to you
What she does to you?
Chorus
That’s right
Take a page from me
Do it, turn around
Chorus
Baby’s got a black book…

9. _ Don't Stop
Written by christine mcvie.
If you wake up and don't want to smile,
If it takes just a little while,
Open your eyes and look at the day,
You'll see things in a different way.
Don't stop, thinking about tomorrow,
Don't stop, it'll soon be here,
It'll be, better than before,
Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone.
Why not think about times to come,
And not about the things that you've done,
If your life was bad to you,
Just think what tomorrow will do.
Don't stop, thinking about tomorrow,
Don't stop, it'll soon be here,
It'll be, better than before,
Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone.
All i want is to see you smile,
If it takes just a little while,
I know you don't believe that it's true,
I never meant any harm to you.
Don't stop, thinking about tomorrow,
Don't stop, it'll soon be here,
It'll be, better than before,
Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone.
Don't you look back,
Don't you look back.

10. _ Sentimental Lady
Written by bob welch.
You are here and warm
But i could look away and you'd be gone
Cause we live in a time
When meaning falls in splinters from our lives
And that's why i've travelled far
Cause i come so together where you are
And all of the things that i said that i wanted
Come rushing by in my head when i'm with you
14 joys and a will to be merry
And all of the things that we say are very
Sentimental gentle wind
Blowing through my life again
Sentimental lady
Gentle one
Now you are here today
But easily you might just go away
Cause we live in a time
When paintings have no color, words don't rhyme
And that's why i've travelled far
Cause i come so together where you are
And all of the things that i said that i wanted
Come rushing by in my head when i'm with you
14 joys and a will to be merry
And all of the things that we say are very
Sentimental gentle wind
Blowing through my life again
Sentimental lady
Gentle one
You are here and warm
But i could look away and you'd be gone
Cause we live in a time
When meaning falls in splinters from our lives
And that's why i've travelled far
Cause i come so together where you are
Yes and all of the things that i said that i wanted
Come rushing by in my head when i'm with you
14 joys and a will to be merry
And all of the things that we say are very
Sentimental gentle wind
Blowing through my life again
Sentimental lady
Gentle one
Sentimental gentle wind
Blowing through my life again
Sentimental lady
Gentle one
Sentimental gentle wind
Blowing through my life again
Sentimental lady
Gentle one
Well sentimental gentle wind
Blowing through my life again
Sentimental lady
Gentle one

11. _ Don't Wait Too Long
Written by bob welch.
Night after night, day after day
The dream i keep havin' just won't stay away
And it's you that's the star with the famous name
Gettin' all that you wanted taken away
(chorus)
Two headed coin, the other side is gettin' strong
And saying good things come to those who wait
But don't wait too long...
Hold out a candle, look in my eyes
You'll see a prisoner, just learnin' to lie
How does it go ?
Just like a whisper on the wind
And the voice that gets louder before it disappears again
(repeat chorus)
Now that your famous, now that you're rich
You'd love to be young, but you can't find that switch
You've come a long way, you've got nowhere to go
Cause you've waited to long, and it's startin' to show

12. _ Man Overboard
Written by bob welch and j. carter.
Too much too soon, sure was sweet
Foreign cars soft leather seats
Foreign prices can't compete
We can't go back, were in too deep
Man overboard
For rich or poor
They all want more
We've gone too far, man overboard
Man overboard
You can't ignore
It's so hard core
We've gone too far, man overboard
Man get laid off, he can't eat, vietnam vet., he can't sleep
Big rolls royce drivin' down the street two sexy blodes in the back seat !
Man overboard
When it rains, it pours
I vote against
I don't vote for
We've gone too far, man overboard
Man overboard
No he can't afford
You've got enough
But we want more
He's gone to far, man overboard
I'm bored over everything i read
I'm bored over everything on t.v.
I'm bored over you
I'm bored over me
I'm overboard
Way overboard
Man overboard !
Man overboard
I'm falling overboard
We'll i'm so bored
They've gone too far, man overboard
Man overboard
It's all their fault
I've think i gone too far, man overboard

13. _ Future Games
Written by bob welch.
I did a thing last night
You know those future games
I turned off all the lights
Oh, the future came
You were by my side
Will you explain-oh yeah
Real rhyme or reason for those future games
Now you were there last night
And oh were you afraid
Of things we'd come upon
While playing future games
But baby it's alright and so have faith
Oh yeah, you invent the future that you want to face
How many people sit home at night
Wondering if they will be here tonight
Wondering if children will he bring to the light
Inherit the world, or inherit the night
Wondering if neighbors are thinking the same
All of the wild things tomorrow will tame
Talking of journeys that happen in vain
Well i know i'm not the only one
To ever spend my life sitting playing future games
You better take your time
You know there's no escape
The future sends a sign
Of things we will create
Baby it's alright
And so have faith
Oh yeah, you invent the future that you want to face
How many people sit home at night
Wondering if they will be here tonight
Wondering if children will he bring to the light
Inherit the world, or inherit the night
Wondering if neighbors are thinking the same
All of the wild things tomorrow will tame
Talking of journeys that happen in vain
And i know i'm not the only one
To ever spend my life sitting playing future games
Future games...
Future games...
Future games...
Future games...
I know i'm not the only one...
I know i'm not the only one...
I know i'm not the only one...
I know i'm not the only one...
I know i'm not the only one...
I know i'm not the only one...
I know i'm not the only one...
I know i'm not the only one...

14. _ Hot Love, Cold World
Written by bob welch and john henning.
Now there is a way to say i love you
And it's said everyday by some kind of fool
But where is the way to tell her goodbye
We both can't be wrong, i must be right !
(chorus)
Hot love cold world, gonna make you cry
Hot love corld world, oh yeah
Hot love cold world, gonna make you cry
Hot love cold world, oh yeah..
Our connection was strong i thought it could last
Dreams of the future not a care for the past
But look at us now not knowing what to do
You're looking so sad i feel so cruel...

15. _ The Ghost Of Flight 401
Written by bob welch.
You've had about the flying dutchman
The ghost of all the ships at sea
But just in case you think it's lies
Then here's a ghost for our own time
You see there was a crash at night
And the pilots in command all died
And after many months has passed
The widows all had cried their last
(chorus)
And when the moon shines on the silver wing
When the moon shines on the silver wing
When the moon shines, look out here comes the ghost of flight 401...
The ghost of flight 401, appeared aboard the jet airplanes
In flesh & blood & clothes he came
On an eastern airline i can't name
But suddenly the ghost appeared
Of the pilots that had died that year
I'm not saying they were puffs of smoke
They were real as life, it ain't no joke
(repeat chorus)
Ooh those silver wings
Yeah those silver wings
Yeah there shinin' in that sun
The ghost of flight 401

16. _ Heart Of Stone
Written by christine mcvie.
Oh i have seen
Such madness in the air
Just like a dream
It makes no sense anywhere
Hopes have shattered
Shattered like broken glass
I believed it was just too good to last
(it seemed to me it was too good to last)
So now you're saying you've been wrong
And you want to come back home
You know i've known all along
That you had a heart of stone
And now you want to change your song
You're tired of living alone
You know i've known all along
That you had a heart made of stone
But don't you remember
Those days of cold delight
When we knew that together
We could make it all right
It seems so long ago
Oh maybe it was yesterday
Where did the time go
I guess it just slipped away
(seemed like the time was slipping away)
So now you're saying you've been wrong
And you want to come back home
You know i've known all along
That you had a heart of stone
And now you want to change your song
You're tired of living alone
You know i've known all along
That you had a heart made of stone
You're never too old to learn
You're never too young to pray
It's never too late to learn
And hope for better days
You're never too old to learn
You're never too young to pray
It's never too late to learn
And hope for better days
So now you're saying you've been wrong
And you want to come back home
You know i've known all along
That you had a heart of stone
And now you want to change your song
You're tired of living alone
You know i've known all along
That you had a heart made of stone
So now you're saying you've been wrong
And you want to come back home
You know i've known all along
That you had a heart of stone
