Journey to the center of the mind
ted nugent / steve farmer
Leave your cares behind
come with us and find
the pleasures of a journey to the center of the mind
Come along if you care
come along if you dare
take a ride to the land inside of your mind
Beyond the seas of thought
beyond the realm of what
across the streams of hopes and dreams where things are really not
Come along if you care
come along if you dare
take a ride to the land inside of your mind
But please realize
you'll probably be surprised
for it's the land unknown to man
where fantasy is fact
so if you can, please understand
you might not come back
Come along if you care
come along if you dare
take a ride to the land inside and you'll see
How happy life could be
if all of mankind
would take the time to journey to the center of the mind
would take the time to journey to the center of the mind
center of the mind
Substitute
peter townshend
You think we look pretty good together
you think my shoes are made of leather
But i'm a substitute for another guy
i look pretty tall but my heels are high
the simple things you see are all complicated
i look pretty young, but i'm just back-dated, yeah
Substitute your lies for fact
i can see right through your plastic mac
i look all white, but my dad was black
my fine looking suit is really made out of sack
I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth
the north side of my town faced east, and the east was facing south
and now you dare to look me in the eye
those crocodile tears are what you cry
it's a genuine problem, you won't try
to work it out at all you just pass it by, pass it by
Substitute me for him
substitute my coke for gin
substitute you for my mum
at least i'll get my washing done

Out of time
mick jagger / keith richards
You don't know what's goin' on
you've been away for far too long
you can't come back and think you are still mine
You're out of touch, my baby
my poor discarded baby
i said, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
Well, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
i said, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
you're all left out
out of there without a doubt
i said, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
You thought you were a clever girl
giving up your social whirl
but you can't come back and be the first in line, oh no
You're obsolete my baby
my poor old-fashioned baby
i said, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
Well, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
i said, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
you're all left out
out of there without a doubt
i said, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
Baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
i said, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
you're all left out
yes, you are
i said you're
out of there without a doubt
i said, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
The shape of things to come
barry mann / cynthia weil
There's a new sun
risin' up angry in the sky
and there's a new voice
sayin' "we're not afraid to die"
Let the old world make believe
it's blind and deaf and dumb
but nothing can change the shape of things to come
There are changes
lyin' ahead in every road
and there are new thoughts
ready and waiting to explode
When tomorrow is today
the bells may toll for some
but nothing can change the shape of things to come
Future's comin' in, now
sweet and strong
ain't no-one gonna hold it back for long
There are new dreams
crowdin' out old realities
there's revolution
sweepin' in like a fresh new breeze
Let the old world make believe
it's blind and deaf and dumb
but nothing can change the shape of things
nothing can change the shape of things
nothing can change the shape of things
nothing can change the shape of things to come
Somebody to love
darby slick
When the truth is found to be lies
and all the joys within you dies
Don't you want somebody to love
don't you need somebody to love
wouldn't you love somebody to love
you better find somebody to love
When the garden flowers baby are dead yes
and your mind, your mind is full of red
Don't you want somebody to love
don't you need somebody to love
wouldn't you love somebody to love
you better find somebody to love
Your eyes, i say your eyes may look like his
but in your head baby i'm afraid you don't know where it is
Don't you want somebody to love
don't you need somebody to love
wouldn't you love somebody to love
you better find somebody to love
Tears are running ah running down your breast
and your friends baby they treat you like a guest
Don't you want somebody to love
don't you need somebody to love
wouldn't you love somebody to love
you better find somebody to love
When i was young
eric burdon / john weider / victor briggs / daniel
mcculloch / barry jenkins
The rooms were so much colder then
my father was a soldier then
and times were very hard
when i was young
when i was young
I smoked my first cigarette at ten
and for the girls i had a bad yen
and i had quite a ball
when i was young
When i was young it was more important
they'd more fun and they laughed much louder, yeah
when i was young
when i was young
I met my first love at thirteen
she was brown and i was pretty green
and i loved quite a lot
when i was young
when i was young
When i was young it was more important
they'd more fun and they laughed much louder, yeah
when i was young
when i was young
My faith was so much stronger then
i believed in fellow man
and i was so much older then
when i was young
when i was young...
7 and 7 is
arthur lee
When i was a boy i thought about the times i'd be a man
i'd sit inside a bottle and pretend i was in a can
in my lonely room i'd sit my mind in an ice cream cone
you can throw me if you wanna 'cause i'm a bone and i go
oop-ip-ip oop-ip-ip, yeah!
/>
if i don't start cryin' it's because i have got no eyes
my father's in the fireplace and my dog lies hypnotized
through a crack of light i was unable to find my way
trapped inside a night but i'm a day and i go
oop-ip-ip oop-ip-ip, yeah!
One two three four!
My back pages
bob dylan
Crimson flames tied through my ears
rollin' high and mighty traps pounced with fire on flaming roads
using ideas as my maps "we'll meet on edges, soon," said i
proud 'neath heated brow
Ah, but i was so much older then
i'm younger than that now
Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth "rip down all hate," i screamed
lies that life is black and white spoke from my skull i dreamed
romantic facts of musketeers foundation deep, somehow
Ah, but i was so much older then
i'm younger than that now
In a soldier's stance, i aimed my hand at the mongrel dogs who teach
fearing not that i'd become my enemy in the instant that i preach
my pathway led by confusion boats mutiny from stern to bow
Ah, but i was so much older then
i'm younger than that now
Ah, but i was so much older then
i'm younger than that now
Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats too noble to neglect
deceived me into thinking i had something to protect
good and bad, i define these terms quite clear, no doubt, somehow
Ah, but i was so much older then
i'm younger than that now
i was so much older then
i'm younger than that now
ah, but i was so much older then
i'm younger than that now
Can't seem to make you mine
sky saxon
I can't seem to make you mine
i can't seem to make you mine
Flyin' around like a bee hurting everything you see
i try everything i know to make you wanna love me so
the only thing you do is try to put the hurt on me
Can't you see what you're doin' to me

Have you ever seen the rain
john fogerty
Someone told me long ago there's a calm before the storm, i know
it's been comin' for some time
when it's over, so they say, it'll rain a sunny day, i know
shinin' down like water
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain?

it can't stop, i wonder
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain?

I can't control myself
reg presley
I can't stand still 'cos you've got me goin'
your slacks are low and your hips are showin'
i take you girl as you're standing there
your low cut slacks and your long black hair
don't want you goin' round with no one else
'cos when i'm with you i can't control myself
Defense is down and you've got me shakin'
you've got me so that my nerves are breakin'
if you knew me like i know you girl
your knees would bend and your hair would curl
you make me move yeah like no one else
'cos when i'm with you i can't control myself
And when i've got this feeling that's inside of me
it makes me think of how things used to be
it makes me feel allright
when i'm with you at night
and we love
and we love
You fill me so with this big temptation
this kind of feeling could move a nation

but do these things a for no one else
'cos when i'm with you i can't control myself
I can't control myself...
