1. Summertime Blues (Eddie Cochran cover)
Well, I'm gonna raise a fuss
Yeah, I'm gonna raise a holler
About working all summer
Just to try to earn a dollar
Well, I went to the boss man
Tried to get a break
Sometimes I wonder what I'm gonna do
'Cause there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
Well, my mom and poppa told me
Son, you gotta earn some money
And if you wanna use the car
To go riding next Sunday
Well, I wouldn't go to work
Told the boss I was sick
Sometimes I wonder what I'm gonna do
'Cause there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
I'm gonna take two weeks
I'm gonna have a fine vacation
Gonna take my problems to the United Nations
Well, I went to my congressman
And he said, quote...
Sometimes I wonder what I'm gonna do
'Cause there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
2. Heart Full of Soul (The Yardbirds cover)
Sick at heart and lonely
Deep in dark despair
Thinking one thought only
Where is she? Tell me where
And if she says to you
She don't love me
Just give her my message
Tell her of my plea
And I know
That if she had me back again
That I would never make her sad
I've got a heart full of soul
And I know
That if she had me back again
That I would never make her sad
I've got a heart full of soul
She's been gone such a long time
Longer than I can bare
But if she says she wants me
Tell her I'll be there
And if she says to you
She don't love me
Just give her my message
Tell her of my plea
And I know
That if she had me back again
That I would never make her sad
I've got a heart full of soul
3. For What It's Worth (Buffalo Springfield cover)
There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Tellin' me I've got to beware
I think it's time we stop
Children, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind
I think it's time we stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
What a field-day for the heat
A thousand people in the streets
Singing songs and they're carrying signs
Mostly say, "Hooray for our side"
I think it's time we stop
Hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
Step out of line, the man come and take you away
I think it's time we stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
Everybody look what's going down
4. The Seeker (The Who cover)
I've looked under chairs
I've looked under tables
I've tried to find the key
To fifty million fables
They call me the seeker
I've been searching low and high
I won't get to get what I'm after
'Till the day I die
I asked Bobby Dylan
I asked the Beatles
I asked Timothy Leary
They call me the seeker
I've been searching low and high
I won't get to get what I'm after
'Till the day I die
People tend to hate me
'Cause I never smile
As I ransack their homes
They want to shake my hand
Focusing on nowhere
Investigating miles
I'm a seeker
I'm a really desperate man
I won't get to get what I'm after
'Till the day I die
I learned how to raise my voice in anger
Yeah, but look at my face, ain't this a smile?
I'm happy when life's good
And when it's bad I cry
I've got values, but I don't know how or why
I'm looking for me
You're looking for you
We're looking in at each other
And we don't know what to do
They call me the seeker
I've been searching low and high
I won't get to get what I'm after
'Till the day I die
5. Mr. Soul (Buffalo Springfield cover)
Well hello, Mr. Soul, I just dropped by to pick up a reason
For the thought that I caught that my head is the event of the season
Why in crowds just a trace of my face could seem so pleasin'
I'll cop out to the change. but a stranger is putting the tease on
I was down on a frown when the messenger brought me a letter
I was raised by the praise of a fan who said I upset her
Any girl in the world could have easily known me better
She said, "You're strange, but don't change"
And I let her
In a while will the smile on my face turn to plaster?
Stick around while the clown who is sick does the trick of disaster
For the race of my head and my face is moving much faster
Is it strange? I should change, I don't know, why don't you ask her?
6. Seven and Seven Is (Love cover)
When I was a boy
I thought about the times I'd be a man
I'd sit inside a bottle
And pretend that I was in a can
In my lonely room
I'd sit my mind on an ice cream cone
You can throw me if you want
'Cause I'm a bone and I go
"Oopipip, oopipip, yeah"
If I don't stop 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
"Oopipip, oopipip, yeah"
When I was a boy
I thought about the times I'd be a man
I'd sit inside a bottle
And pretend that I was in a can
Through a crack of light I was unable to find my way
Trapped inside a night
But I'm a day and I go
"Oopipip, oopipip, yeah"
7. Shapes of Things (The Yardbirds cover)
Shapes of things before my eyes
Just teach me to despise
Will time make men more wise?
Here within my lonely frame
My eyes just hurt my brain
But will it seem the same?
Come tomorrow, will I be older?
Come tomorrow, maybe a soldier
Come tomorrow, may I be bolder than today?
Now, the trees are almost green
But will they still be seen?
When time and tide have been
Fall into your passing hands
Please don't destroy these lands
Don't make them desert sands
Come tomorrow, will I be older?
Come tomorrow, maybe a soldier
Come tomorrow, may I be bolder than today?
Soon, I hope that I will find
Thoughts deep within my mind
That won't disgrace my kind
8. Crossroads (Cream cover)
I went down to the crossroads
Fell down on my knees
Down to the crossroads
Fell down on my knees
Asked the Lord above for mercy
Save me if you please
I went down to the crossroads
Tried to flag a ride
Down to the crossroads
Tried to flag a ride
Nobody seemed to know me
Everybody passed me by
Well, I'm going down to Rosedale
Take my rider by my side
I'm going down to Rosedale
Take my rider by my side
You can still barrelhouse, baby
On the riverside
You can run, you can run
Tell my friend, boy, Willie Brown
Run, you can run
Tell my friend, boy, Willie Brown
And I'm standing at the crossroads
Believe I'm sinking down
