1.Camellia
(john oates)
Opening night, nothing new atlanta
Into the spotlight, one more time
Just in time to play
To one man and an empty table
He was drinking down the pain
All he could say was this lady's name...
Oh camellia won't you take me away
After the show, when the room was empty
No, he wouldn't go
So i asked him why he called her name
It seems she was some magic one night
With something for his pain
But all she left was a pretty name...
Oh camellia won't you take me away
To paradise tropical moon
Don't you leave me sitting here in atlanta
2.Sara Smile
(daryl hall/john oates)
Baby hair with a woman's eyes
I can feel you watching in the night
All alone with me and we're waiting for the sunlight
When i feel cold you warm me
When i feel i can't go on you come and hold me
It's you... and me forever
Sara smile
Won't you smile a while for me
If you feel like leaving you know you can go
But why don't you stay until tomorrow?
And if you want to be free, all you have to do is say so
When you feel cold, i'll warm you
And when you feel you can't go on, i'll come and hold you
It's you... and me forever
Sara smile
Won't you smile a while for me
3.Alone Too Long
(john oates)
Just a little boy lost looking for a lamb in the all night city
Living in his lonely limousine
And though he never has to worry
He's the only one and only one he's ever gonna need
Absolutely he's in definite need
Of a woman, child, and some better kind of love when the hot
town's hurt him
And he knows how happy he could be
But he don't know if he can make it
Between the money and another lonely night
But now the time has come
Got to stay or run
Now the time has come
Oh maybe we've been alone too long
And you don't want to be lonely
Another pretty face another body ache still awake three-thirty
Dial another number -- no one home
So he wastes his time with tv
And he wonders if he lost the only one
And wonders if he's free
Too afraid to see
How alone he could be
Oh maybe we've been alone too long
And you don't want to be lonely
4.Out Of Me, Out Of You
(daryl hall/john oates)
I need you more than anyone else in the world
But what you need more than me is the help i can give to you
girl
That's what you need
You can make it happen
I can show you the way, and help you to say
What you're feeling inside
Lower your shield is it's real and you feel it
Then what can come out of me
Can come out of you
The love that comes from me
Can come out of you
Can't you see that this game that you're playing with me
Is holding you back
Black or white? shades of gray are more like it you know
So let yourself go
You can make it happen
I can show you the way, and help you to say
What you're feeling inside
Lower your shield is it's real and you feel it
Then what can come out of me
Can come out of you
The love that comes from me
Can come out of you
5.Nothing At All
(daryl hall/sandy allen)
All the things that used to mean a lot to me
Don't matter anymore
Ain't no surprises, and we're too young
To come to that
Oh time has a way of lessening love
You know that's true...
Nothing at all
We spent last night like every night
Sitting and staring
I wish we could fight at least
That would be something
Time has a way of lessening love
You know that's true
So don't bother listening anymore darling
'cause i'm writing my last song about you
Nothing at all
You don't say nothing
'cause there ain't nothing at all
6.Gino(The Manager)
(daryl hall/john oates)
You've got sicilian imagination
Second generation
And a long way from the family crime
But you've got your own way
Sign on the line, sign on the line, on the line
You're a patent leather lover
With you're gucci-pucci pointed shoes
And you're swearing on your mother
That 'all this could be yours'
Sign on the line, sign on the line, on the line
Remember hard work means something
Live fast, die laughing
No hurt in asking
Nothing for nothing
Gino no no no no no no no no no no
No no no no no no no no no no no
No no no no no no no no no no no no!
You've got contractual agitation
Transcendental meditation works fine
But now you're paying off the guru
Get to heaven 'on time'
Sign on the line, sign on the line, on the line
Remember hard work means something
Live fast, die laughing
No hurt in asking
Nothing for nothing
You couldn't live without little gino, no
That's what he tells me, little gino, no
You couldn't live without little gino, no
That's what he tells me, little gino, no no
7.It Doesn't Matter Anymore
(daryl hall/sandy allen)
I've been used to seeing the world with the eyes of two
Now you're gone, no more window shopping with you
Guess i'll spend another day walking around
But don't think that i'm sorry babe, don't you think that i'm
down
'cause you know it doesn't matter, you know it doesn't matter
anymore
And that's what i'm here to tell you
You know it doesn't matter, yes it doesn't matter anymore
I've been used, you might say that i've been misused
But i'm not gonna feel bad for myself even though i've been
bruised, so bruised
Guess i'll spend another day walking around
But don't think that i'm sorry babe, don't you think that i'm
down
'cause you know it doesn't matter, you know it doesn't matter
anymore
And that's what i'm here to tell you
You know it doesn't matter, yes it doesn't matter anymore
8.Ennui On The Mountain
(daryl hall/john oates)
We don't need a whole lot of money
We don't need a cadillac car
What we need is a mountain in montana
A thousand acre world for the roadies and the girls
But you need a whole lot of money
Lots of loot, to tell you the troot'
Oh, we know what's good but we love what's bad
And it'd be ennui on the mountain anyway
Oh i don't know if it's high or low
But it's round and round and round and round we go
I don't know what i need
Everyday we try to get higher
Any way to the dream at the end
Am airplay and a golden concept album
So they pay for what you say
And they hang on every word
You and me are just ponce de leon-y
Looking for something we ain't never gonna find
Oh, we know what's good but we love what's bad
And it'd be ennui on the mountain anyway
Oh i don't know if it's high or low
But it's round and round and round and round we go
9.Grounds For Separation
(daryl hall)
Tin can sound and a dead-eyed crowd
Can turn a sane man crazy and a crazy man sad
I can fight with the best, but i can only go so many rounds
And that's grounds for separation
Preparation for better things
Gonna grow a new set of wings
And fly away
Robot action, conditioned response
Manufacture feeling like the tool and die
I can turn it on but i'm holding back the guarantee
And that's grounds for separation
Preparation for better things
Gonna grow a new set of wings
And fly away
Music, it's my life and i've got it in me
But isn't it a bit like oxygen, 'cause too much will make you
high
But not enough will make you die
So i gotta keep it under control
10.Soldering
(beckford & ranglin)
Soldering it's what the young girl wants
Soldering
Soldering it's what the young girl needs
Soldering
She says she don't want the young buy,
The young boy drink too much white rum
She says she don't want the soul man,
'cause soul man fall asleep in bed
She says she don't want the dread lock
'cause dread lock smoke too much haile
Soldering it's what the young girl wants
Soldering
When you check it out the young boy is undecided
And the dread lock is getting natty groove
While the old man he's watching them move
And the soul boy he start to prove
Soldering it's what the young girl wants
Soldering
Soldering it's what the young girl needs
Soldering
Oh young girl want soldering
