Do you remember the things we used to do?
The bands in the plaza playing at noon?
Down in the basement, plugging along
Singing a cappella and getting it all wrong
Do you remember, do you remember?
Do you remember, do you remember?
Do you remember the words to the song
The DeFranco Family B-side and the one by the Troggs?
Crossing the channel, miles from home
Pinball in the studio just off of King’s Road
Do you remember, do you remember?
Do you remember, do you remember?
Dance With Me, Henry, work it all out
This could be the last time
This could be the last time
Better make it count!
Do you remember, do you remember?
Do you remember, do you remember?
Do you remember, do you remember?
Do you remember, do you remember?
Do you remember, do you remember?
Do you remember, do you remember?

January, there’s a sadness in your soul
January, I turned around and you were gone
Those winter nights sitting by the fire
Brought us in from the cold
You gave me everything my heart desired
How was I to know, how was I to know? Oh!
January, you come and then you go
January, somewhere down the road
You’ll be back I know, you’ll be back I know
January, join me for a cup of tea
January, come and stay the month with me
Come on strong like a new beginning
With your lamp down low
With some kind of unspoken promise
Melted like the snow, left me here alone
Come on back!
January, you come and then you go
January, somewhere down the road
You’ll be back I know, you’ll be back I know
Come on back
January, you come and then you go
January, somewhere down the road
You’ll be back I know, you’ll be back I know
You’ll be back I know
You’ll be back I know

Do I Love You

Let’s not make this complicated
I’m gonna break it down for you
I got no kick against quantum physics
Just so long as one and one makes two
Hand in hand, baby, we’ll go walking
Heart to heart, under skies of blue
Under skies of blue, blue, blue
Do I love you
Do I love you
Do I love you, baby
Yes I do, and I hope you love me too
Yes I do
Put down the book, take off your glasses
Let’s forget about that spelling bee
I speak love in any language
Someday they’ll write a book on you and me
Every page we’ll find a new emotion
All I need is what I feel inside
What I feel inside
Do I love you
Do I love you
Do I love you, baby
Yes I do, and I hope you love me too
Yes I do
Just one question and you know the answer
Just one question, come on, tell me true
Come on, tell me true
Do I love you
Do I love you
Do I love you, baby
Yes I do, and I hope you love me too
Yes I do
And I hope you love me too
Yes I do
Hope you love me too

Phaedra

Someday I’ll paint my masterpiece
So everyone can see what I see
I’ll mix the colors till they explode
With every line and master stroke
I’m gonna capture, here and ever after
Everything you are to me, ooh
Phaedra, goddess of an ancient age
Perfect was the way they made ya
Seven thousand years ago
I see you in the western sky
I hear you when the clouds roll by
Won’t rest until you’re in my arms
And I feel the beating of your heart
Who am I fooling, love’s an illusion
Somewhere out beyond the stars
Phaedra, goddess of an ancient age
Perfect was the way they made ya
Seven thousand years ago
I need a goddess of love
To come down here and release me
Don’t need no greasy kid stuff, no, no, no
I’ll be your king and you’ll be my queen
I’m gonna capture, here and ever after
Everything you are to me
Phaedra, goddess of an ancient age
Perfect was the way they made ya
Seven thousand years ago
Phaedra

How Fast
02:10
|

|
Take me to the doctor, the emergency room
Throw me in the psych ward if I come unglued
Put your face in the mirror, touch the tip of your nose
How fast does this thing go?
Take a letter to the capitol, put it in the governor’s hands
Spend a month of Sundays swinging from a ceiling fan
On a Shetland pony in a jet black robe
How fast does this thing go?
Put me under your pillow when you go to sleep
Throw me in a bottle, toss me out to sea
On the way to somewhere, destination unknown
How fast does this thing go?
How fast does this thing go?
I wanna know!
How fast does this thing go?

Heart for Sale

Heart for sale, drive it away today
You can take it for a spin
It just might fall in love again
Heart for sale, nothing but highway miles
Once you get behind the wheel
You’re gonna feel it come alive
Never mind a scratch or two
Runs just fine, it’s priced to move
Heart for sale, this one’s convertible
You can pull down the hood
You’ll feel so good to ride in her
Never mind a scratch or two
Runs just fine, it’s priced to move
Heart for sale, drive it away today
You can take it for a spin
You just might fall in love again
You can take it for a spin
It just might fall in love again

I saw her first on TV
Pounding on a four piece set of drums
’Till then it was a mystery
I’d always wondered where that sound was from
You got your Charlies and your Ringos
You got your jazz guys with their bongos
But I’ll take Honey
Honey from the Honeycombs
Honey from the Honeycombs
Honey from the
The bass drum starts to thumping
Gets my heart a-pumping deep inside
She’s up there on the bandstand
Counting off the numbers, laying down the time
I know it’s crazy but I just can’t stop it
You got a lot of choices rocking
But I’ll take Honey
Honey from the Honeycombs
Honey from the Honeycombs
Honey from the
If I was to strap my Burns on, crank it up real loud
Would she play along, play along?
You got your Charlies and your Ringos
You got your jazz guys with their bongos
But I’ll take Honey
Honey from the Honeycombs
Honey from the Honeycombs
Honey from the
Honey from the Honeycombs
I know it’s crazy
Honey from the Honeycombs
I can’t stop

Rocking in Spain

If you ever plan to get back in the game again
Dust yourself off, hop a plane all the way to Madrid
There’s a marble staircase takes you down below the street
You’ll find a four-piece band rocking hard and raising the heat
You’re rockin’ in Spain!
You’re rockin’ in Spain!
You’re rockin’ in Spain!
You’re rockin’ in Spain!
We’re going to the place where rock and roll’s alive and well
We’re going to the place where the fascists and the dictators fell
Punks and petty criminals mix it up to make the scene
Johnny, Joey, Dee Dee, Tommy, bringing in a new regime
You’re rockin’ in Spain!
You’re rockin’ in Spain!
You’re rockin’ in Spain!
You’re rockin’ in Spain!
Spain
Spain
Spain
Spain
Spain
You’re rockin’ in Spain!
You’re rockin’ in Spain!
You’re rockin’ in Spain!
You’re rockin’ in Spain!

No more Mrs. Nice Guy, you’ve got to keep him on his toes
He’s got to feel a little danger when you pull him close
You’ve been soft and cuddly, but not getting anywhere
He’ll never be your teddy bear
Masochist Davey, he’s only happy when you make him cry
Masochist Davey, ooh yeah, he’s just that kind of guy
Just that kind of guy
It’s about time you learned how he got his name
He don’t want your affection unless it’s wrapped up in a little pain
You’ve been sweet and nice, but throw it in reverse
Cause nice girls never finish first
Masochist Davey, he’s only happy when you make him cry
Masochist Davey, ooh yeah, he’s just that kind of guy
Just that kind of guy
He’s gonna show you things about yourself that you don’t want to know
Go on and try a little tenderness
See how far it goes, see how far it goes
Masochist Davey, oh, he’s only happy when you put him down
Masochist Davey, ooh yeah, you’ll need to learn a little monkeyin’ around
Masochist Davey, he’s only happy when you make him cry
Masochist Davey, he’s just that kind of guy, just that kind of guy

Miss Alternate Universe

I don’t mean to suggest the girl’s not smart
Her I.Q.’s as high as it goes, it’s off the charts
She’s got that Judy Jetson sex appeal
She’ll pull you right up into her magnetic field
Miss Alternate Universe
She’s a hurricane in reverse
Albert Einstein meets Patty Hearst
Miss Alternate Universe
She’ll pull you out of phase with the world you’re living in
And when you get there you’ll need a tank of oxygen
She’ll take you apart like a kokeshi doll
And put you back together again entirely wrong
Miss Alternate Universe
All the animals talk to her
From somewhere other than planet Earth
Miss Alternate Universe
Miss Alternate Universe
She’s a hurricane in reverse
Albert Einstein meets Patty Hearst
Miss Alternate Universe
Miss Alternate Universe
All the animals talk to her
From somewhere other than planet Earth

Pretty Close

Did you see my bad luck charm
I keep it here, right by my heart
Uh uh, oh no, it’s nowhere to be found
Since you came and brought me back around
And I’m pretty close to something that could be good
I was down for the count again
All but lost without a friend
But you played me, made me, what you see today
Well, it’s crazy, but maybe I’m saved
And I’m pretty close to something that could be good
Yeah, I’m pretty close to something that could be good
(I was crying)
Crying on the inside every day
(How can I)
Ever thank you, baby, for the gift you gave
Uh uh, oh no, it’s nowhere to be found
Since you came and brought me back around
And I’m pretty close to something that could be good
Yeah, I’m pretty close to something that could be good
Yes I’m pretty, pretty close
Close to something that could be good
Close to something that could be good

Watching the Sun Go Down
02:41
|

|
Went up to the observatory, just to see what I could see
All those stars off in the distance, they’re so far away from me
And every one is a reminder, it was you who made it out
One more day, watching the sun go down
All these streets we used to wander, now you wouldn’t recognize
It’s a broken empty city and I could not tell you why
All I know is that I lost you, I’m still haunted by it now
One more night, watching the sun go down
Watching the sun go down
Ooh, this world keeps spinning round
And round and round and round
Long before it was a ghost town, it was the only world we knew
I can’t think of one good reason why I didn’t follow you
And those last words that were spoken
They come flooding back to me now
One more night, watching the sun go down
