1. _ Haven't Got Time For The Pain
(carly simon/jacob brackman)
All those crazy nights when i cried myself to sleep
Now melodrama never makes me weep anymore
'cause i haven't got time for the pain
I haven't got room for the pain
I haven't the need for the pain
Not since i've known you
You showed me how, how to leave myself behind
How to turn down the noise in my mind
Now i haven't got time for the pain
I haven't got room for the pain
I haven't the need for the pain
Not since i've known you
Suffering was the only thing that made me feel i was alive
Though that's just how much it cost to survive in this world
'til you showed me how, how to fill my heart with love
How to open up and drink in all that white love
Pouring down from the heaven
I haven't got time for the pain
I haven't got room for the pain
I haven't the need for the pain
Not since i've known you

2. _ Grownup
(carly simon)
I stood in the doorway in my white nightgown
Red roses on cotton, i stood three feet from the ground
The grownups inside used words i didn't know
But still i enjoyed the show
They looked so lovely, they looked so self-assured
And i just like them would know it all when i matured
And i wouldn't be afraid of the darkness or the bears
Or the cracks in the ceiling upstairs
Now i've just gotten older, i've just gotten taller
And the little ones, they call me a grownup
Lat night at a friend's house a little girl was there
She stood in the doorway playing with her hair
She looked up to me as if i could do no wrong
As i got up to sing my song
I sang it with a shiver in my throat and in my knees
Feeling just as small as a thistle in a breeze
But the child's imagination carried me along
And saw me through my song
Now i've just gotten older, i've just gotten taller
And the little ones call me a grownup

3. _ Mockingbird
(inez & charlie foxx with additional lyrics by james
Taylor)
Everybody have you heard
He's gonna buy me a mockingbird
And if that mockingbird don't sing
He's gonna buy me a diamond ring
And if that diamond ring won't shine
He's gonna surely break this heart of mine
And that's why i keep on tellin' everybody.....
Hear me now and understand
He's gonna find me some piece of mind
And if that piece of mind won't stay
I'm gonna find myself a better way
And if that better way ain't so
I'll ride with the tide and go with the flow
And that's why i keep on shoutin' in your ear.....
Everybody have you heard
She's gonna buy me a mockingbird
And if that mockingbird don't sing
She's gonna buy me a diamond ring
And if that diamond ring won't shine
Gonna surely break this heart of mine
And that's the reason why i keep on tellin' everybody...
Listen now and understand
She's gonna find me some piece of mind
And if that piece of mind won't stay
I'm gonna get myself a better way
I might rise above, i might go below
Ride with the tide and go with the flow
And that's the reason why i keep on shouting in your ear...

4. _ Misfit
(carly simon)
There are plenty of late nights
If you want to stay up for them
You'll just want to find yourself a friend
And tie a couple on in a night spot
Draw pictures of your soul, win the jackpot
For tears in your beer
It's hip to be miserable when you're young and intellectual
In a bit you'll admit you're a misfit
Comeon home with me
We'll turn on the tv
About 10 o'clock we'll turn off the light
Not every man was born to stay up late at night
Tere are plenty of boats to catch
If you notice all the sails in the wind
But you better look hard my friend
In case you catch a ride on the wrong one
In the distance is the one you belong on
Oh the water is wide
It's hipe to be miserable when you're young and intellectual
In a bit you'll admit you're a misfit
Come on home with me
We'll sit under a tree
And if you get the itch
I'll supply the scratch
Not every man was born with a boat to catch
It's hip to be miserable when you are young and intellectual
In a bit you'll admit you're a misfit
A misfit

5. _ Safe And Sound
(carly simon/jacob brackman)
Strange times in portland, maine
Lobsters dancing on the dock
Switzerland's been wierd since they unplugged the clocks
Man and a woman living in brooklyn heights
Each convinced that the other is in the wrong
Last year the divorce rate trippled in hong kong
If through all the madness
We can stick together
We're safe and sound
The world's just insode out and upside down
Flash from mexico...the tornadoes have all turned gay
Roman whores have quit to seek a better way
Dope has undermined the morale of the buckingham palace guards
Motorcycle gangs ride naked down hollywood boulevard
If through all the madness
We can stick together
We're safe and sound
The whole world's just turned insode out and upside down
Marahaj wants you to lead a pilgrimage to tibet
New york women want me sounding off like a suffragette
I know that each of us is alone in the end
But the trip still feels less dangerous when you've got a friend
If we stick together
You and me forever
We're safe and sound
The world's just turned inside out and upside down
The world's just turned insode out and upside down

6. _ Just Not True
(carly simon)
You stick to me when i wish you gone
You hammer on my thoughts through dreams
Your plot is thick with saucy schemes
And ways to reach my balconies
But i say i'm not turned on by the way you look
I say i'm not turned on by the way you act
I'm not turned on when you tell me that you need me
But sometimes, just sometimes
You can see the softness in my eyes
And you know, it's just not true
You're in my blood, a holy ghost
I scream, but it's a hollow plea
The thoughts i swallow leave me thirsty
You do a very fine imitation of me
And i say i'm not turned on by the way you laugh
I'm not turned on by the way you smile
I'm not turned on when you tell me that you love me
But sometimes, just sometimes
You can see the softness in my eyes
And you know, it's just not true
And i say i'm not turned on by the way you dance
I'm not turned on my the way you laugh
I'm not turned on when you need me
But sometimes, just sometimes
You can see the softness in my eyes
And you know, it's just not true.

7. _ Mind On My Man
(carly simon)
I've got my mind on my man
I've got my man on my mind
He's everything to me, he's somthin' more special
Than any amount of lookin's gonna find
I'm not hooked on any her from an idle dream
But i'm idly dreaming of him
He's a lotus, that opens and closes
Notice he won't always let me in
So my mind is on my man, got my man on my mind
Sometimes he's sleepy
And i don't think he loves me
I worry about his lovin'
Ain't i crazy?
He's a northern baby and a southern child
He's a gentelman lost at the fair
He's a cowboy gettin' drunk at the plaza
He has a place in my heart anywhere
And my mind is on my man, got my man on my mind

8. _ Forever My Love
(carly simon/james taylor)
Words of love
Softly spoken
Like clouds above
Drift away
What shall i say?
To let you know the way i feel
Should i cry out loud that love is real?
Or simply reveal
Forever my love
Time alone will tell us
Lovers born in may
May grow bitter and jealous
Faded and gray
What shall i say?
It's not another lovers game
It doesn't seen to have a name
It changes and remains the same
Forever my love, my love
Yesterday's projection will never really know
But tomorrow's recollection will surely know
It was so
Between us
Ain't no other way
Time has seen us
Day after day
What shall i say?
That isn't in the way i act
That will carry through the years intact
I'm lookin' forward to lookin' back
>from further in down the track
Together in fact
Forever my love, my love

9. _ Older Sister
(carly simon)
She rides in the front seat, she's my older sister
She knows her power over me
She goes to bed an hour later than i do
When she turns the lights out
What does she think about?
And what does she do in the daylight
That makes her so great?
Oh but to be, oh but to be, oh but to be, i'd like to be
My older sister
She flies throught the back door, she's my older sister
She throws french phrases 'round the room
She has ice skates and legs that fit right in
She's wicked to all the beaming dreamers
Who'll later boast of an evening
By her fiery side
Oh but to be, oh but to be, oh but to be, i'd like to be
My older sister
And in her black gymnastic tights
She runs into some elastic nights
Sophisticated sister sings for the
Soldiers of the soccer team
Their silver i.d.'s and sororities
They tinker with love in their model t's
Oh lord, won't you let me be her for just one day
She turns everybody's heads
While i wear her last year's threads
With patches and stitches and a turned up hem
Oh, but to be, oh but to be, i'd like to be, just once to be
My older sister

10. _ Think I'm Gonna Have A Baby
(carly simon)
Platform shoes on table tops
I think i'm gonna be a lady
Opinions flyin' right and left
I think i'm gonna tell him maybe
They're puttin' out too many phonograph records
I think i'm gonna have a baby, a baby
I wouldn't be naughty for the sake of naught
Or be different just to differ
I wouldn't sell myself just to get bought
Or give to just deliver
They're puttin' out too many phonograph records
I think i want to be a river, be a river...
Rivers do such nice things, they roll to the sea
When i am a river then i'll want to listen to me
So you pick me up, and you tune me up
And you wind me up and play me
You talk about heart, and you say you know soul
And the way to treat a lady
You're puttin' out too many phonograph records
I think i'm gonna have a baby, a baby
Babys do such nice things, they rock on your knee
When i was a baby my rockin' was something to see
