Overture (Instrumental)

I'll Love You More Than You'll Ever Know (Al Kooper)
If I ever leave you
You can say I told you so
And if I ever hurt you babe
You know I hurt myself as well

Chorus:  Is that any way for a man to carry on
d'you think he wants his little loved one gone?
I love you Baby, more than you'll ever know
More than you'll ever know

When I wasn't makin' too much money
you know where my paycheck went
you know I brought it home to baby
and I never spent one red cent

(Chorus)

I'm not tryin' to be
any kind of man
I'm tryin' to be somebody
you can love, trust, and understand
I know that I can be, yeah yeah
a part of you that no one else could see
I just gotta hear, tohear you say
It's all right
yeah, yeah, yeah!

I'm only flesh and blood
But I can be anything that you demand
I could president of General Motors baby, heh
or just a tiny little grain of sand

(Chorus)

(Guitar Solo)
(Sax Solo)

If I ever leave you
You can say I told you so
And if I ever hurt you baby
You know I hurt myself as well

(Chorus)

I love you, I love you, I love you baby!
Well all right!
I told ya, so many times before
I love you
I love you!
If you don't know, then I'll tell ya one more time
I love you!
I love you!

Morning Glory (L. Beckett, T. Buckley)
I lit my purest candle
close to my window
hoping it would catch the eye
of any vagabond who had passed it by
and I waited in my fleeting house

Before he came
I felt him drawing near
Asked him in
I felt the ancient fear
that he had come to my door and jeered
and I waited in my fleeting house

Tell me stories, I called to the hobo
Stories of Cold, I smiled to the hobo
Stories of old, I knelt to the hobo
and he stood before me
in my fleeting house.

No, said the hobo
no more tales of time
don't ask me now to wash away the grime
I can't come in 'cause
it's too hard a climb
and he walked away from my fleeting house

Then you'll be damned
I screamed to the hobo
Leave me alone, I wept to the hobo
Turn into stone, I knelt to the hobo
and he walked away from my fleeting house

I lit my purest candle
Close to my window
hoping it would catch the eye
of any vagabond who passed it by
and I waited in my fleeting house

My Days Are Numbered (Al Kooper)
I woke up and found
No one beside me
No hand to hold onto
and no lips to guide me
what a hard world to face
in the light of an angry sun
ain't it hard to get on,
if you ain't got that someone

Chorus: And it seems that my days are numbered
down to a precious few
People I know that
My days are numbered
'cause I can't get it back together
without you.

I see the heaven moonlight
see it drippin' down my window
flowing like a river
through the tears that I have cried
I gotta find myself, hey
a reason to go on living
but you can't breathe life into somethin'
that's already died

(Chorus)
(Guitar Solo)
(Chorus)
Hey Hey
I got ta tell you right now
Every morning (fades)

Without Her (Harry Nillson)
I spend the night in a chair
thinking' she'll be there
but she never comes
and I wake up and wipe
the sleep from my eyes
and I rise, to spend another day
without her

It's just no good anymore
when you walk through the door
of an empty room
you go inside and set a table for one
it's no fun
when you have to spend the day without her

We burst the pretty balloon
took us to the moon
such a beautiful thing
but it's ended now and it sounds like a lie
If I said I'd rather die,
than be without her

Love is a beautiful thing
when it knows how to swing
and it grooves like a clock
but the hands on the clock
tell the lovers to the part
and it's breakin' my heart
to spend another day without her

(Horn Solos)

I'll spend the night in a chair
thinking she'll be there
but she'll never come
and I'll wake up and wipe
the sleep from my eyes
and I'll rise and spend the day without her

Can't go on without her
There's no song without her
Can't go on without her.

Just One Smile (Randy Newman)
Can I cry a little bit
there's nobody to notice it
Can I cry if I want to
No one cares

Why can't I pretend
that you love me again?
All I had has been taken from me
now I'm cryin'
and tears don't become me

Chorus: Just one smile,
Pain's forgiven
Just one kiss, girl
Now the hurt's all gone
Just one smile to my
make my little life worth livin'
a little dream to build my world upon

How I wish
I could say
All the things that I got to say
How I wish you
Could see what's here
In My heart
I don't ask for much
A look, a smile, a touch
Try to forget
Well, the Lord knows I'm tryin'
But it's so hard to forget girl,
when your whole world is dyin'

(Chorus)
(Solos)

Try to forget
Well, the Lord knows I'm tryin'
But it's so hard to forget girl,
when your whole world is dyin'

I Can't Quit Her (Al Kooper, I. Levine)

I can't quit her
She's  got a hold on me
She got her hand on my soul
I can't quit her
'cause I see her face everywhere I go
In the city streets, in the country fields
In the back of my mind
I know it can't be real
For a woman to possess
all the tenderness she had
But the hands of time
keep tickin' on my back
'cause it's been so long
since I had her back beside me,
Yeah, I know

I can't quit her
'cause on my darkest night
she comes on like a light
I can't quite her
Try as I may, with all my might
She had a woman's touch
And a young girls eyes,
and in seconds flat I was pros'lytized
turned around,
and made to feel sweet love
But the hands of time
Keep tickin' on my back
'cause it's been so long
since I had her back beside me

True love is somethin'
ev'ry young boy knows about
and he fights his whole soul all the best to find some
I was a young boy
'till I held her in my arms
now I find that I'm strung out behind some

I can't quit her
She got her hand on me
she got a hold on my soul
'cause I your face everywhere I go
I can't quit her, woo ooo yeah
I know
You know I see your face
Everywhere I go!
I need her...I need the little girl

Meagan's Gypsy Eyes (Steve Katz)
Meagan's Gyspy eyes
The lyres surround me
purple drops of rain
the sun shone around me

Death that clouds her life
will be forever
[Thee?] Is loved
yet cannot love, not never

Mystic thoughts of love
And her's completely
taught her how to run
though not discreetly

Meagan's not as old
As she'd like to think she's young
sophisitcated dreams
are as plastic as the songs
she has sung
likes to think she's hung up on herself
and aren't you lucky?

Meagan's Gypsy eyes
The lyres surround me
purple drops of rain
The sun shone 'round me

Somethin's Goin' On (Al Kooper)
You know I woke up this mornin' people
the first thing I did was to look into your eyes
in that space where I used to find so much truthfulness
there was a stone cold pack of lies

You know that somethin' goin' on
Somethin' goin' on and I don't know what it is
Somethin's goin' on people
All right

I went on down to the mailbox
seems I got the phone bill yesterday
charging me for some hour conversations
from someone in L.A.!

I know that somethin' goin' on
Somethin' goin' on, what is it
Somethin' goin' on, how about that
I better get to the bottom of that

(Long Solos)

Now wait a minute!
I wanna hear you blow now
(Sax solo with counterpoint by Kooper)
Go ahead, go ahead
I want you to blow for all the men whose women who don't keep a true love now
I want you to blow for all the people who have to face an empty bed now
Go ahead, blow one for yourself
Blow one for me too
Yeah, listen
You got to love your woman in the morning
You got to love your woman in the night
You got to love your woman all the time, to make her feel all right
You got to give her what she wants
When she wants it, how she wants it, anytime she might think she wants it
ahhhhhhhhhhh
When your lovin' your woman people
And both of you know the score
You know it makes a long-time man suspicious
To come home, to an unlocked door
Bound to know, somethin' goin' on
Somethin' goin' on, but you don't know what it is
Somethin' goin' on people
I better get to the bottom of this, look out!

House In The Country (Al Kooper)
Spoken:  House in the country take one

No need to worry
Folks in a hurry
leave them behind you
no one can find you
House in the country
House in the country

All the relaxin'
Will soon fill the cracks in
Good for your head too
If you are led to
House in the country
House in the country
Green surrounding
Love abounding
You won't find a manhole there

Yes, yes I need you
Come let me feed you
I've never tried to
Come let me hide you
House in the country
House in the country

I have never brought anybody there
Bring your own chair to sleep in
When we arrive, after the drive
Then you can shower, and talk for an hour
Then sleep in your chair

(Instrumental Interlude)

Sleep on the floor there
Don't ask for more there
Sun wakes you up too
Glad you came up to
House in the country
House in the country

La la la la la...etc
House in the country (x4)

The Modern Adventures of Plato, Diogenes, and Freud (Al Kooper)
Father of my morning,
Once my child to the night
I see that you have minds to cop
And I can only watch the sickened sorrow

Little do you know
of the progressions that you teach
the people that you reach are tired
of livin' in a world of elastic towers
dance with them and sing a song of changes
and talk with them of life and all its dangers
surround yourself with now familiar strangers
who kiss and who hug and eventually mug you of your time

And the clock on the wall is a bore
as you wander past the door
and find him lying on the floor
as he begs you for some more, you frozen smile

You cannot ever picture me
you know me by my thoughts
A file for your travelogue
oblivious to the night, the fog around you
The germs they are rediculous
they bother you at night
the blood that rushes to your brain
the ticket on the plane you're never catching
the price you pay exclusive of your taxes
to chop you up inside with tiny axes
the girl looks up to you from floors she waxes
and speaks to your belt with tears among her eyes

and the clock on the wall is a bore
as you wander past the door
and find him lying on the floor
as he begs you for some more, you frozen smile

The metaphysic wrinkles in the face of what you face
Are hidden by the fake-up man
who lives inside the sterno can beside you
Now climb ye to the mountains
as the sun is almost gone
escaping from your other selves
your brothers hide among the shelves inside you
the games that people play can only bore you
but only those that know you don't ignore you
how many times have I come there to restore you
And caught you lying on the couch with father time

and the clock on the wall is a bore
as you wander past the door
and find him lying on the floor
as he begs you for some more, you frozen smile

So Much Love (Gerry Goffin, Carol King)

More than enough to last the whole night through
and it's all for you

In the midst of all my darkness baby
you know you came along to guide me
you took pity on a lonely man
when you said you'd stand beside me
I'll never forget you
for that you've done little girl
I'll never turn my back on you for anyone
'cause I've got

Chorus: So much lovin'
I'm a natural man
So much lovin'
More than enough to last
the whole night through
and it's all for you

When My world was cold and empty
and I needed somebody near me
I called down from on the mountainside
Knowing full well that you'd hear me
And to you that might seem like a little thing
but to me, it's like changing winter to spring
and I've got

(Chorus)

Listen to me baby
There's so few women, nowadays
who understand the soul of a man
and who understand
they're only always taken in
never are free, of a helpin' hand yeah
I know that you, yes I know that ya, know what to do girl
Any trouble comes, I know you're bound to see me through

More than enough
to last the whole life through
'cause I've got

Smiling Phases (Steve Winwood, James Capaldi, Chris Wood)
(These lyrics are as BS&T performed the song, original lyrics differ slightly)

Do yourself a favor,
Wake up to your mind
Life is what you make it
You see, but still you're blind

Get yourself together,
Give before you take
You'll find out the hard way,
Soon you're gonna break
Hey hey hey

Smiling phases
Showing traces
Even if they bust you
Keep on smiling through and through
And you'll be amazed at the gaze
On their faces as they sentence you

You don't need a lawyer
When you're in a fix
Someone gets to pay up
Your friends are full of tricks
But happiness is something
That you just can't buy
Own up to the truth girl,
Your love has gone on by

Smiling Phases bring you flowers
You can line 'em up
And you can watch 'em grow for hours
And you'll be amazed at the way that they stare
as they walk by your door.
 

Do yourself a favor,
Wake up to your mind
Life is what you make it
You see, but still you're blind

Get yourself together,
Give before you take
You'll find out the hard way,
Soon you're gonna break
Hey hey hey

Smiling phases
Going Places
Even if they bust you
Keep on smiling through and through
And you'll be amazed at the gaze
On their faces as they sentence...you!!

Sometimes In Winter (Steve Katz)

Sometimes in Winter
I gaze into the streets
and walk through snow and city sleet
behind your room

Sometimes in Winter
forgotten memories
remember you behind the trees
with leaves that cried

By the window once I waited for you
laughing slightly you would run
trees alone would shield us in the meadow
makin' love in the evening sun

Now you're gone girl
and the lamp posts call your name
I can hear, them
in the spring of frozen rain
now you're gone girl
and the time's slowed down till dawn
It's a cold room and the walls ask
where you've gone

Sometimes In Winter
I love you when the good times
seem like mem'ries int he spring
that never came

Sometimes In Winter
I wish the empty streets
Would fill with laughter from the tears
that ease my pain

More And More(Don Juan, Pea Vee)

Uh huh,
Hey yeah, yeah yeah...
Like medicine baby

and the love you bring me darlin'

that's why my love for you
keeps on growin'
more and more
all the time
more and more
all the time, yeah!

Uh huh,
Gonna say it again, now now now
Hah!
Like a ship that's driftin' baby
you're apart from me
like old man time
you controll my destiny
if from my life, you ever tried to go
it would destroy in a second
what took a lifetime to mold
that's why my love for you
just keeps on growin'
more and more
all the time
more and more
all the time

Uh huhhhh
Let me hear ya!

[Instrumental Break]

As sure as a sunrise
I'll stand by your side

For lovin' you too much woman,

More,

And When I Die (Laura Nyro)

I'm not scared of dying
and I, don't really care
if it' s peace you find in dying,
well then, let the time be near

If it's peace you find in dying,
well then dying time is near
just bundle up my coffin,
'cause it's
cold way down there,
I hear that it's
cold way down there, yeah
crazy cold, way down there

And when I die, and when I'm gone
there'll be, one child born
in this world
to carry on, to carry on

[Piano Solo]

Now troubles are many
there as
deep as a well
I can swear there ain't no Heaven
but I pray there ain't no hell
Swear there ain't no Heaven
and I'll pray there ain't no hell
but I'll never know by livin'
only my dyin' will tell, yes only my

Only my dyin' will tell

And when I die, and when I'm gone
there'll be, one child born, in this world
to carry on, to carry on

Give me my freedom
for as long as I be
All I ask of livin'
is to have no chains on me
All I ask of livin'
is to have no chains on me
And all I ask of dyin' is to
go natrually, only wanna
go naturally
Here I go!

here he come, heyyy

Don't wanna go by the devil
don't wanna go by the demon
don't wanna go by satan

naturally

And when I die, and when I'm dead
dead and gone

one child born, in our world

God Bless The Child (Arthur Herzog Jr., Billie Holiday)

Them that's got, shall get
them that's not, shall lose
so the Bible said, and it still is news
mama may have, and papa may have
God bless' the child,
that's got his own
that's got his own

Yes the strong seem to get more
while the weak ones fade
empty pockets don't
ever make the grade
As mama may have
and papa may have
God bless' the child
that's got his own
that's got his own.

And when you got money,
you got a lots of friends
crowdin' 'round your door
When the money's gone
and all you're spendin' ends
they won't be 'round any more
no, no, no more

And rich relations
may give you
a crust of bread and such
you can help yourself
but don't take too much
mama may have
and your papa may have
but God bless' the child
that's got his own
that's got his own
God bless' the child who can stand up and say

I've got my own
Ev'ry child's, got to have his own!

Spinning Wheel (David Clayton-Thomas)

What goes up

spinning wheel

talkin' 'bout your troubles

You got no money
you got no home
spinning wheel
all al lone
talkin' 'bout your troubles and you,
you never learn
Ride a painted pony
let the spinning wheel turn

Did you find
your directing sign
on the straight and narrow highway

Would you mind a reflecting sign
Just let it shine
within your mind
and show you, the colors
that are real

Someone's waiting
just for you
spinning wheel,
spinning true
Drop all your troubles by the riverside
ride a painted pony

You've Made Me So Very Happy (Berry Gordy Jr., Brenda Holloway, Patrice Holloway, F. Wilson)

I've lost at love before
got mad and closed the door
but you said try, just once more

I chose you for the one
now I'm havin' so much fun
you treated me so kind
I'm about to lose my mind

You made me so very happy
I'm so glad you
came into my life

The others were untrue
but when it came to lovin' you
I'd spend my whole life with you
'cause you came and you took control
you touched my very soul
you always showed me that
lovin' you is where it's at
You made me so very happy
I'm so glad you
came into my life

I love you so much it seems
You're even in my dreams
I can hear you

You made me so very happy

Blues Pt. 2 (Clayton-Thomas, Katz, Lipsius, Colomby)

Mmm Mmmm
There's been some women in my life, yeah

Hi De Ho (G. Goffin, C. King)
(as sung by BS&T, slightly different than original lyrics)

Hi De Ho
Hi De Hi
Gonna Get me
A piece of the pie
Gonna get me
Some of that Old Sweet Roll
Singin' Hi de hi de hi de hi de Hooooo

I've been down so low
Bottom looked like up
Once I thought that seconds saves
was enough to fill my cup
So I proffered all I got
But it ain't no way to live
Being taken by the ones who got
The least amount to give

Hi de ho
Hi de hi
Gonna get me a piece of the sky
Gonna get me some of that old sweet roll
Singing hi de hi de hi de hi de hooooo.

<instrumental interlude>

Once I met the devil
He was mighty slick
Tempted  me with worldly goods
Said -you can have your pick-
But when he laid that paper on me
And he showed me where to sign
I said thank you very kindly
But I'm in too good-a mood to mind

Hi de ho
Hi de hi
Gonna get me a piece of the sky
Gonna get me some of that old sweet roll
Singin' hi de hi de hi de hi de hooooo.
Hi de ho
Hi de hi
Gonna get me a piece of the sky
Gonna get me some of that old sweet roll
Singin' hi de hi de hi de hi de hoooo

The Battle (Steve Katz/Dick Halligan)

While the king and queen lie sleeping
And their daughters smile so nice.
Brothers wait through windows
And the peasants die for rice.
And here I'm standing naked
Laughing madly at the sun.
Though I wanted to sleep late today
The Battle's just begun.

Oh, the Devil in all his wisdom
The father in all his grace
The servant's sons are washed in blood
And the man has run his race

A moving target looms behind the street where soldiers stood
Siren screams out desperately
Like only humans could
And standing on my balcony
I watch the battle run
Yes the war is never over
But the day is never done

Oh, the Devil in all his wisdom,
the father in all his grace,
The servant's sons are washed in blood
And the man has run his race.

Six-white horses like the wind are running,
Five are far behind
The captain lost his daughter,
The sergeant lost his mind.
The soldiers they still scream for riches
Even though they swore
That sons and daughters wouldn't live
Unless we won the war.

Oh, the Devil in all his wisdom,
the father in all his grace,
The servant's sons are washed in blood
And the man has run his race.

Lucretia MacEvil (David Clayton-Thomas)

Lucretia MacEvil
Little girl what's your game?
Hard luck and trouble
Bound to be your claim to fame

Tail-shakin' heart-breakin' truckin' through town
Each and every country-mother's son, hangin' 'round
Drive a young man insane
Evil that's your name

Lucretia MacEvil
That's the thing you're doin' fine
Back seat Delilah
Got your six-foot jug o'wine, woman

I hear your mother was the talk of the sticks
Nothin' that your daddy wouldn't do for kicks
Never done a thing worth-while
You're just an evil woman-child.

(spoken) ooh, Lucy, you just so damn bad

(Instrumental Interlude)

(Bridge) Devil got you lucy
Under lock and key
Ain't about to set you free
Sign sealed and witnessed
Since the day you were born
No use tryin' to fake him out
No use tryin' to make him out
Soon, he'll be takin' out his due
What-cha gonna do?

Lucy MacEvil
Honey ya been all night?
Your hair's all messed up, babe
An' the clothes you're wearin'
Just don't fit ya right
Big Daddy Joe's, payin' your monthly rent
Tells his wife he can't imagine where the money went
Dressin' you up in style, evil woman-child.

Walkin' down main street lookin' down
Looks like a Wow!
Talk about it!

Stop lyin'
Stop lyin'
Stop lyin'

Fire and Rain (James Taylor)

Just yesterday mornin'
They let me know you were gone
Susan, the plans they made put an end to you
I walked out this mornin'
And I wrote down this song
I just can't remember who to send it to

I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I see lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again

Won't you look down upon me Jesus
You gotta help me make a stand
You just got to see me through another day
My body's achin' and my time is at hand
And I won't make it any other way

I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I see lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again

Lonesome Susie (Richard Manuel)

Lonesome Susie
Never got the breaks
She's always losing
So she sits and cries and shakes

It's so hard just to watch her
And if I touch her,
Oh poor Susie
I'm wondrin' what to do

She just sits there, hoping for a friend
I don't fit here, but I may have a friend to lend
Maybe I mistook her
But I can't overlook her
Must be someone
Who can pull her through.

Anyone who felt that bad
Could tell me what to say
Even if she'd just get mad
She might be better off that way

And where is all the understanding
I know your problem
Can't be that demanding
Why is it she looks that way
Ev'ry time ev'ry time she starts to cry
Oh lonesome Susie
I can't watch you crying no longer

Baby if you can use me
'n-till you fill just a little bit Stronger, baby
I guess just watching you
Has made me lonesome too
Why don't we get together
What else can we do?

Symphony/Sympathy For the Devil (Jagger/Richards)
(As performed by BS&T)

Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long years
Stole many a man's soul and faith

And I was 'round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's confusing you
Is just the nature of my game

I stuck around St. Petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the czar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain

I rode a tank
Held a general's rank
When the blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank, Oh!

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name,
And what's confusing you
Is just the nature of my game,

I watched with glee
While your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the gods they made

I shouted out,
"Who killed the Kennedys?"
When after all
It was you and me

Let me please introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
Been around for many a year
Laid many a man's soul to waste

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name
But what's confusing you
Is just the nature of my game

Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails
Just call me Lucifer
'Cause I'm in need of some restraint

So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Some sympathy, and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or I'll lay your soul to waste, YEAH!

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name
But what's confusing you
Is just the nature of my game
