  On a Carousel Written by Graham Nash, Allan Clarke, Tony Hicks Lead Vocals by Tommy Shaw Riding along on a carousel, trying to catch up to you Riding along on a carousel, will I catch up to you? Horses chasing 'cause they're racing So they ain't so far On a carousel On a carousel Nearer and nearer by changing horses, Still so far away People fighting for their places just get in my way Soon you'll leave and then I'll lose you Still we're going 'round On a carousel On a carousel 'Round and round and round and round round and round and round and round with you Up, down, up, down, up, down, too As she leaves, she drops the presents that she won before Pulling ducks out of the water, got the highest score Now's my chance and I must take it, a case of do-or-die On a carousel On a carousel 'Round and 'round and 'round and 'round 'Round and 'round and 'round and 'round with you Up, down, up, down, up, down, too Riding along...

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...

The Adorable Horrible Written by Allen Keller and Scott Bennett Lead Vocals by  Scott Bennett I'm so sorry The sorriest man you've ever seen When I lacked manners style and grace I picked up the check to compensate I followed you to a rave With all intentions to behave But my education failed, I was nearly impaled Never even heard of Nine Inch Nails My gin was no tonic after all I heard you purrs turn to catcalls Looked through Debrett's for some hand-me-downs Woke up in a hair shirt and thorny crown I'm so sorry The sorriest man there's ever been A well coifed fat head On the body of a skeleton Did I offend you I was just trying to act like I care You see I was spoiled then I was abandoned A boy who was stuck-up and left there That last scotch was anything but neat I said things I should never repeat I got sloppy serious and sentimental I spilled my guts and my tux was a rental Cause I'm the adorable horrible I'm the adorable horrible I'm the adorable h...

Friendly Advice Written by Tommy Shaw Lead Vocals by Tommy Shaw My suitcase is packed It's sitting by the door I've gone over all the facts I can't take them any more But every time my feet hit the street My head starts aching and My knees get week I turn back around I let myself in I feel like a dog No matter what I come back again My friends all try to give me friendly advice They all agree I shouldn't be so nice Women really like it when you push them around But it's not me So here I go again Ignoring all the signs It doesn't take a scientist To read between the lines But right about the time I'm sure I've had enough I've decided to call it quits and I'm Ready to get tough You turn it on with those Those big brown eyes The next thing you know I'm out buying long-stem roses My friends all try to give me friendly advice They all agree I shouldn't be so nice Women really like it when you push them around I'm like my daddy Old-fashione...
