Bread 02:56
Oooo, You take me to the darkest places. I used to be afraid, but it’s alright Raise your glass for a friend Drink it fast, we can pretend It’s alright Oooo, You lead me by the poisoned water Build a house upon the shore, Ignore the rapping at the door Nevermore Raise your glass, drink it fast Enjoy it now, it does not last But it’s alright Oooo, You gave me something And I’m really full of thanks, but I must get to the bank And it’s alright Raise your glass, past is past Drink it fast, we’re here at last And it’s alright.

All that I’ve got are all my days I’m gonna take them and give them up for you All that I’ve got are all my days I’m gonna make them and them back to you All that I’ve got are all my days I’m gonna shape them and give them up to you Give it all up, give it all up, give it all up to you Give it all up, give it all up, give it all up to you Give it all up, give it all up, give it all up to you Give it all up, give it all up, give it all up to you All that I’ve got are wayward ways I’m gonna leave them and bring it home to you All that I’ve got are wayward ways I’m gonna leave them and bring it home to you All that I’ve got are wayward ways I’m gonna leave them and bring it home to you Bring it on home, bring it on home, bring it on home to you Bring it on home, bring it on home, bring it on home to you Bring it on home, bring it on home, bring it on home to you Bring it on home, bring it on home, bring it on home to you

Move On 05:00
It’s almost 2 AM. Tonight is wasted. Can’t remember where I’ve been But I can still taste it. Let’s hope we won’t recall …any of this tomorrow Been strung out on the wall Nothing left to borrow Pockets are empty and my clothes are worn Can’t remember why I was ever born Time is an outline of disfigured grace Written in the lines on my face Help is on the way, We need it yesterday When we sing a song And we sing as one Our voice is strong Won’t you sing along? Time to stand up …and move on. Don’t shake those snakes at me …makes me nervous Trade freedom for security We don’t deserve this When you look at me, you seem so angry What happened to civility? How’d it get so dangerous? Love is like a black butterfly Hidden in the dark of the midnight sky As dawn is breaking it comes into sight Gliding through the prism of the shattered Light Help is on the way, We need it yesterday When we sing a song And we sing as one Our voice is strong Won’t you sing along? Time to stand up …and move on.

Spaces 04:32
Morning comes to you like a lover Feel the sunlight on your skin The Earth so warm, so ripe and so tender Feel the life throughout the land Now wolves howl softly And birds seek the trees Daybreak, Springtime on the mountain Feel the coolness in the air Melting ice and cool, refreshing fountains Like the water, have no care Like you felt the wind for the first time Felt the coolness in the air …in the air And you look into the distance See the mountains We’ll be waiting for you We’ll be waiting for you …there. If you can cast aside those dreams born in darkness And come back home to the land The spaces in between, forgotten but familiar Then I know you’ll understand Like you felt the wind for the first time Felt the coolness in the air …in the air And you look into the distance See the mountains We’ll be waiting for you We’ll be waiting for you …there.

Will Hear 06:14
Open your eyes Raise a shade The light comes pouring through Through forever Through time and space And the darkness you once knew Will she go? Will she stay? Or is she through with you? Her hair is a mess She’s torn her dress But she still makes eyes at you All at once the Earth explodes In Her time of maternity The trees will grow, the birds will sing For the people that will hear Song for song Tonight is long God, I pray for peace Then comes the sun For everyone And it brings release Open your eyes Raise a shade The light comes pouring through Through forever Through time and space And the darkness you once knew All at once the Earth explodes In Her time of maternity The trees will grow, the birds will sing For the people that will hear

Silk Skin 07:38
My generation will come and go Pilgrims passing to and fro| Spinning straw-men into gold I tell you, mothers, it’s something to behold Today I bake, tonight I brew Come tomorrow, gonna rip myself in two I’m so glad they never knew My secret name Care is cold and lies are sweet What I need to feel incomplete Twist my face into a smile I’ll be sleeping hollow in a while Today I wake, tonight I’ll brew And strike some pins with Hudson’s ghostly crew I’m so glad they never knew My secret name Spinning straw-men into gold I tell you, babies, it’s something to behold Twist my face into a smile I’ll be sleeping hollow in a while Today I wake, tonight I’ll stew Into some kind of bitches brew I’m so glad they never knew My secret name

Brian Jones 03:01
This is a story of Brian Jones All he ever had were some rolling stones He could make 'em sing when he put them in his hat And went on to Joujouka, to smoke the magick hookah This is a story of Brian Jones Brian Jones, Brian Jones Caught a wave from a friendly hand Made him feel what he could not understand Made him feel like he was one of them So he went on to Joujouka, to smoke the magic hookah Brian Jones was not afraid to die Brian Jones was very high This is a story of Brian Jones Brian Jones was ...very stoned. I've got a silver light; I'm gonna let it shine til midnight Gonna let it shine til one or two Or until I get through to you Got Brian Jones on the phone And he said,"tell 'em, I'm not dead." Every cloud has got a silver lining And above me, the sun is always shining! ..That's right.
