1. _ August Day
(words by sara allen
Music by daryl hall)
I saw the sun, though it didn't shine
Gave up no shadows, gave out no way to know the time
No wind to blow the silver leaves
The drone of clever talk just stopped
The air hangs out, hesitates to carry a thought
Away from me
And the sky colored heavy gray
August day
Stir the dust and carve a rhyme
Barefoot blues watch and wait till suppertime
Will a smile break through
Distant thunder and the slow dance
Static lightning sky daring me to take a chance
And say that i love you
And the sky colored heavy gray
August day

2. _ Pleasure Beach
(words & music by john oates)
Pleasure beach
You may look but never find
That neglected place in time
Like a dream just out of reach
Pleasure beach
Not a place you left behind
Or a place you'll ever find
It's a dream just out of reach
It's a place called pleasure beach
There ain't no waves in a swimming pool
There ain't no fun til you break the rules
We're ever young but never free
I guess that's how it was meant to be
On the beach our thoughts were hot
But our hearts were cool
We fell in love
But we like to fool around with everyone we meet
It's you for you
And me for me
Pleasure beach
You make look but never find
That neglected place in time
Like a dream just out of reach
Pleasure beach
Not a place you'll ever find
It's a dream just out of reach
It's a place called pleasure beach

3. _ I Don't Wanna Lose You
(words by daryl hall & john oates
Music by daryl hall)
You and i have separate lives girl
You and i go different ways on roads that cross
When love and loss is ruled by fate
People have a tragic habit
Of letting love get in the way
They tend to lose their overviews and overplay
Something i wanna say
Something i've got to do
Feels like you're drifting away
And i don't wanna lose you
I'll try to find a way to encourage you
It's easy to convince myself
Cause i can't believe you'd wanna be with somebody else
People have a tragic habit
Of letting love get in the way
They tend to lose their overviews and overplay
Something i wanna say
Something i've got to do
Feels like you're drifting away
And i don't wanna lose you

4. _ The Last Time
(words & music by daryl hall)
There was something about the way you left tonight
That really tore my heart
I remember the look in your eyes, it really ripped me apart
Oh the look
One last time
It can't be the last time
I gave so much to make you mine
How can it be
It's the second time around i've had this vision
And i don't like it, no
When it all happened before, i knew i'd never come back
All the way
Oh the look one last time
It can't be the last time
I took so much but i gave you mine
How can it be

5. _ Serious Music
(words by john oates
Music by john oates, george bizet)
To play to get rich
And die baroque is wrong
If you write a song for god
Will he sing along
While rows of robot symphonies read on
Is that the way you wanted it played
Manuscripted memories
Sound with no electricity
Concentration line on the face of serious music
Manuscripted memories
Sound but no electricity
Concentration lines on the face of serious music
You brought a bit of jazz to the concert hall
But you won't hear violins at the darkies' ball
Your rhapsody in blue will outlive us all
I wish i was there the night you played it
Manuscripted memories
Sound with no electricity
Concentration line on the face of serious music
Manuscripted memories
Sound but no electricity
Concentration lines on the face of serious music

6. _ It's A Laugh
(words & music by daryl hall)
You must be thinking something
But you ain't saying nothing
You remember me, i used to be your boyfriend
There ain't no point in reason
It only gets defensive
And why should we ruin the purity of the moment
It's a laugh
What a laugh
It's so stupid i gotta laugh
And the funny thing is that everyone thought we were special
Maybe i should feel guilty
Is that the american way
But i just look at myself
As if i were above me
You must be thinking something
But you ain't saying nothing
You remember me, i have been here always
I am here forever

7. _ Alley Katz
(words by daryl hall & john oates
Music by daryl hall)
Put on your feline finery "da' katz" are meeting down below
If you feel like rocking with a tabby, tom, and calico
It'll dirty up your pedigree
But we guarantee a good time
Wee got some catnip that'll set you free
Come on, come on, paws on the line
Alley katz, allen katz come out and play
Yowlin' and howlin' a social ballet
Out in the alley it's strictly low brow
Alley katz, alley katz make me meow, meow, meow
Felix is a puss in boots
He really likes to scratch and bite
Sylvester is unnatural
The kitty is a catamite
He will dirty up your pedigree
He will guarantee a good time
He got some catnip that'll set you free
Come on, come on, paws on the line
Alley katz, alley katz come out and play
Yowlin' and howlin' a social ballet
Out in the alley it's strictly low brow
Alley katz, alley katz make me meow, meow, meow

8. _ Melody For A Memory
(words & music by john oates)
One for the money
One song i'm writing for you
And if you can't take me with you girl
Take this melody for a memory
Love in the morning
Love in the late afternoon
There'll be no words when i leave you girl
Just a melody for a memory
And if you can't take me with you
Take this melody for a memory
She cried when he left her
Her eyes went black with the blue
The infrequent letters
The sooner the better
The cold distant phone calls
Will have to do
And if you can't take me with you
Take this melody for a memory
Take part of me, take part of me
Take this melody for a memory

9. _ Have I Been Away Too Long
(words & music by daryl hall)
There's a chance that i don't know you
Maybe i won't like you
It's a long
It's such a long
Lady it's been a long time
We were lovers in a different story
Can you duplicate it
Can we make
Can we make up
Can we make up the same time girl
Or have i been away too long
Have i been away
I'm afraid to say that i've been away from you too long
You got a message that i'd be in town
I wish i hadn't sent it
I'm a play
I am playing
Playing with disaster
You're so close i almost feel you breathing
Making me twitchy, yeah
I want
I i wanna
I want to be wrong girl
Or have i been away too long
Have i been away
I'm afraid to say that i've been away from you too long

10. _ Don't Blame It On Love
(words by daryl hall & john oates
Music by daryl hall)
Mighty high or low down
Change around the words and they say
Low is not the last one
Cause you know, if you know
You'd be learning from a hit lip
Success is sitting fat and limp
But don't blame it on the system
It's only natural only natural
Blame it on yourself
Blame it on me
But don't blame it on love
Who d'ya think your heroes are?
Failures everyone
But you all love them for their innocence
When they fall when they fall
The loser's always deified
Winner only takes home the prize
But don't blame it on the system
It's only natural it's only natural
For you to blame it on yourself
Blame it on me
But don't blame it on love
