It Don't Make Sense (You Can't Make Peace) Written by Willie Dixon Lead Vocals by James Young Listen on YouTube You have made great planes to span the skies You gave sight to the blind with other men's eyes You even made submarines stay submerged for weeks But it don't make sense you can't make peace You take one man's heart and make another man live You even go to the moon and come back thrilled Why you can crush any country in a matter of weeks But it don't make sense you can't make peace You can make a transfusion that can save a life Why you can change the darkness into broad daylight You make the deaf man hear and the dumb man speak But it don't make sense you can't make peace

A Salty Dog (Procol Harum cover)

Image
A Salty Dog Written by Keith Reid, Gary Brooker Lead Vocals by Lawrence Gowan Listen on YouTube All hands on deck, we've run a float, I heard the Captain cry. Explore the ship, replace the cook, Let no one leave alive. Across the straits, around the horn, How far can sailors fly? A twisted path, our tortured course, And no one left alive. We sailed for parts unknown to man, Where ships come home to die. No lofty peak, nor fortress bold, Could match our captain's eye. Upon the seventh seasick day, We made our port of call. A sand so white, and sea so blue, No mortal place at all. We fired the guns, and burned the mast, And rowed from ship to shore. The captain cried, we sailors wept, Our tears were tears of joy! Now many moons and many Junes, Have passed since we made land. A Salty Dog, the seaman's log, Your witness, my own hand.

Summer in the City Written by John Sebastian, Mark Sebastian, Steve Boone Lead Vocals by Tommy Shaw      Listen on YouTube Hot town, summer in the city Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty Been down, isn't it a pity? Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city All around, people looking half dead Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head But at night it's a different world Go out and find a girl Come on, come on and dance all night Despite the heat it'll be all right And babe, don't you know it's a pity That the days can't be like the nights In the summer, in the city In the summer, in the city Cool town, evening in the city Dressing so fine and looking so pretty Cool cat, looking for a kitty Gonna look in every corner of the city Till I'm wheezing like a bus stop Running up the stairs, gonna meet you on the rooftop But at night it's a different world Go out and find a girl Come on, come on and dance all night Despite the heat it'll be al...

Talkin' About the Good Times (The Pretty Things cover)

Talkin' About the Good Times Written by  Philip May, Richard Taylor, Alan Waller Lead Vocals by Lawrence Gowan Listen on YouTube Talkin' about the good times, talkin' about the good... Talkin' about the good times, talkin' about the good...

Talkin' about the good times, talkin' about the good... She had braided her hair The grass jumped through the rain Reach to the rain Tears of mystic rain in the air She had tears in her eyes The skies turned to gray Melt away Shining streaks in rain that day Talkin' about the good times, talkin' about the good... Talkin' about the good times, talkin' about the good... Good times

Locomotive Breath (Jethro Tull cover)

Image
Locomotive Breath Written by Ian Anderson Lead Vocals by James Young Listen on YouTube In the shuffling madness Of the locomotive breath Runs the all-time loser Headlong to his death Oh, he feels the piston scraping Steam breaking on his brow Old Charlie stole the handle And the train it won't stop Oh no way to slow down He sees his children jumping off At the stations one by one His woman and his best friend In bed and having fun Oh, he's crawling down the corridor On his hands and knees Old Charlie stole the handle And the train it won't stop going No way to slow down Hey He hears the silence howling Catches angels as they fall And the all-time winner Has got him by the balls Oh, he picks up Gideon's bible Open at page one I think God he stole the handle And the train it won't stop going No way to slow down No way to slow down No way to slow down No way to slow down No way to slow down No way to slow down No way to slow down No way to slow down No way to slow down

Wishing Well (Free cover)

Wishing Well Written by  Paul Rodgers, Simon Kirke, Tetsu Yamauchi, John Bundrick, Paul Kossoff Lead Vocals by Tommy Shaw Listen on YouTube Take off your hat; kick off your shoes. I know you ain't goin' anywhere. Runnin' 'round the town, singin' your blues. I know you ain't goin' anywhere. You've always been a good friend of mine, But you just keep on sayin' farewell. And the only time that you're satisfied Is with your feet in the wishing well. Yeah! Throw down your gun You might shoot yourself Or is that what you're tryin' to do? Put up a fight you believe to be right And someday the sun will shine through. You've always got something to hide; Something you just can't tell. And the only time that you're satisfied Is with your feet in the wishin' well. Oh! Yeah! But I know what you're wishin' for (know what you're wishing for) Love in a peaceful world.
