RAMONES - ACID EATERS

Journey To The Center Of The Mind
Ted Nugent / Steve Farmer

Leave your cares behind
Come with us and find
The pleasures of a journey to the center of the mind

Come along if you care
Come along if you dare
Take a ride to the land inside of your mind

Beyond the seas of thought
Beyond the realm of what
Across the streams of hopes and dreams where things are really not

Come along if you care
Come along if you dare
Take a ride to the land inside of your mind

But please realize
You'll probably be surprised
For it's the land unknown to man
Where fantasy is fact
So if you can, please understand
You might not come back

Come along if you care
Come along if you dare
Take a ride to the land inside and you'll see

How happy life could be
If all of mankind
Would take the time to journey to the center of the mind
Would take the time to journey to the center of the mind
Center of the mind

Substitute
Peter Townshend

You think we look pretty good together
You think my shoes are made of leather

But I'm a substitute for another guy
I look pretty tall but my heels are high
The simple things you see are all complicated
I look pretty young, but I'm just back-dated, yeah

Substitute your lies for fact
I can see right through your plastic mac
I look all white, but my dad was black
My fine looking suit is really made out of sack

I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth
The north side of my town faced east, and the east was facing south
And now you dare to look me in the eye
Those crocodile tears are what you cry
It's a genuine problem, you won't try
To work it out at all you just pass it by, pass it by

Substitute me for him
Substitute my coke for gin
Substitute you for my mum
At least I'll get my washing done

But I'm a substitute for another guy
I look pretty tall but my heels are high
The simple things you see are all complicated
I look pretty young, but I'm just back-dated, yeah

I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth
The north side of my town faced east, and the east was facing south
And now you dare to look me in the eye
Those crocodile tears are what you cry
It's a genuine problem, you won't try
To work it out at all you just pass it by, pass it by

Substitute me for him
Substitute my coke for gin
Substitute you for my mum
At least I'll get my washing done

Substitute your lies for fact
I can see right through your plastic mac
I look all white, but my dad was black
My fine looking suit is really made out of sack

Out Of Time
Mick Jagger / Keith Richards

You don't know what's goin' on
You've been away for far too long
You can't come back and think you are still mine

You're out of touch, my baby
My poor discarded baby
I said, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time

Well, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
I said, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
You're all left out
Out of there without a doubt
I said, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time

You thought you were a clever girl
Giving up your social whirl
But you can't come back and be the first in line, oh no

You're obsolete my baby
My poor old-fashioned baby
I said, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time

Well, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
I said, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
You're all left out
Out of there without a doubt
I said, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time

Baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
I said, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
You're all left out
Yes, you are
I said you're
Out of there without a doubt
I said, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time

The Shape Of Things To Come
Barry Mann / Cynthia Weil

There's a new sun
Risin' up angry in the sky
And there's a new voice
Sayin' "we're not afraid to die"

Let the old world make believe
It's blind and deaf and dumb
But nothing can change the shape of things to come

There are changes
Lyin' ahead in every road
And there are new thoughts
Ready and waiting to explode

When tomorrow is today
The bells may toll for some
But nothing can change the shape of things to come

Future's comin' in, now
Sweet and strong
Ain't no-one gonna hold it back for long

There are new dreams
Crowdin' out old realities
There's revolution
Sweepin' in like a fresh new breeze

Let the old world make believe
It's blind and deaf and dumb
But nothing can change the shape of things
Nothing can change the shape of things
Nothing can change the shape of things
Nothing can change the shape of things to come

Somebody To Love
Darby Slick

When the truth is found to be lies
And all the joys within you dies

Don't you want somebody to love
Don't you need somebody to love
Wouldn't you love somebody to love
You better find somebody to love

When the garden flowers baby are dead yes
And your mind, your mind is full of red

Don't you want somebody to love
Don't you need somebody to love
Wouldn't you love somebody to love
You better find somebody to love

Your eyes, I say your eyes may look like his
But in your head baby I'm afraid you don't know where it is

Don't you want somebody to love
Don't you need somebody to love
Wouldn't you love somebody to love
You better find somebody to love

Tears are running ah running down your breast
And your friends baby they treat you like a guest

Don't you want somebody to love
Don't you need somebody to love
Wouldn't you love somebody to love
You better find somebody to love

When I Was Young
Eric Burdon / John Weider / Victor Briggs / Daniel
McCulloch / Barry Jenkins

The rooms were so much colder then
My father was a soldier then
And times were very hard
When I was young
When I was young

I smoked my first cigarette at ten
And for the girls I had a bad yen
And I had quite a ball
When I was young

When I was young it was more important
They'd more fun and they laughed much louder, yeah
When I was young
When I was young

I met my first love at thirteen
She was brown and I was pretty green
And I loved quite a lot
When I was young
When I was young

When I was young it was more important
They'd more fun and they laughed much louder, yeah
When I was young
When I was young

My faith was so much stronger then
I believed in fellow man
And I was so much older then
When I was young
When I was young...

7 And 7 Is
Arthur Lee

When I was a boy I thought about the times I'd be a man
I'd sit inside a bottle and pretend I was in a can
In my lonely room I'd sit my mind in an ice cream cone
You can throw me if you wanna 'cause I'm a bone and I go
Oop-ip-ip oop-ip-ip, yeah!

If I don't start 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
Oop-ip-ip oop-ip-ip, yeah!

One Two Three Four!

My Back Pages
Bob Dylan

Crimson flames tied through my ears
Rollin' high and mighty traps pounced with fire on flaming roads
Using ideas as my maps "We'll meet on edges, soon," Said I
Proud 'neath heated brow

Ah, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now

Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth "Rip down all hate," I screamed
Lies that life is black and white spoke from my skull I dreamed
Romantic facts of musketeers foundation deep, somehow

Ah, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now

In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand at the mongrel dogs who teach
Fearing not that I'd become my enemy in the instant that I preach
My pathway led by confusion boats mutiny from stern to bow

Ah, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now

Ah, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now

Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats too noble to neglect
Deceived me into thinking I had something to protect
Good and bad, I define these terms quite clear, no doubt, somehow

Ah, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now
I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now
Ah, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now

Can't Seem To Make You Mine
Sky Saxon

I can't seem to make you mine
I can't seem to make you mine

Flyin' around like a bee hurting everything you see
I try everything I know to make you wanna love me so
The only thing you do is try to put the hurt on me

Can't you see what you're doin' to me
You fill my heart with misery
With every breath, every step I take
I'm more in love with you

I can't go on like this
A little bit of love and not one kiss
I gotta have your love everyday
Love that's real that will stay

I can't seem to make you mine
I can't seem to make you mine
I can't seem to make you mine
I can't seem to make you mine

Can't you see what you're doin' to me
You fill my heart with misery
With every breath, every step I take
I'm more in love with you

I can't seem to make you mine
I can't seem to make you mine
Come back baby to me
In my misery
I gave you love every day
Never ever go away
I can't seem to make you mine...

Have You Ever Seen The Rain
John Fogerty

Someone told me long ago there's a calm before the storm, I know
It's been comin' for some time
When it's over, so they say, it'll rain a sunny day, I know
Shinin' down like water

I want to know, have you ever seen the rain?
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain?
Comin' down on a sunny day

Yesterday, and days before, sun is cold and rain is hard, I know
Been that way for all my time
'Til forever, on it goes through the circle, fast and slow, I know
It can't stop, I wonder

I want to know, have you ever seen the rain?
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain?
Comin' down on a sunny day

Yeah!

Someone told me long ago there's a calm before the storm, I know
Been that way for all my time
When it's over, so they say, it'll rain a sunny day, I know
Shinin' down like water

I want to know, have you ever seen the rain?
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain?
Comin' down on a sunny day

I Can't Control Myself
Reg Presley

I can't stand still 'cos you've got me goin'
Your slacks are low and your hips are showin'
I take you girl as you're standing there
Your low cut slacks and your long black hair
Don't want you goin' round with no one else
'Cos when I'm with you I can't control myself

Defense is down and you've got me shakin'
You've got me so that my nerves are breakin'
If you knew me like I know you girl
Your knees would bend and your hair would curl
You make me move yeah like no one else
'Cos when I'm with you I can't control myself

And when I've got this feeling that's inside of me
It makes me think of how things used to be
It makes me feel allright
When I'm with you at night
And we love
And we love

You fill me so with this big temptation
This kind of feeling could move a nation
And I'm O. K. When I'm here with you
I do the things that you want me to
But do these things a for no one else
'Cos when I'm with you I can't control myself

I can't control myself...

Surf City
Brian Wilson / Jan Berry

I bought a pretty cool wagon and we call it a woody
Surf City, here we come
You know, it's not very cherry, it's an oldie but a goody
Surf City, here we come
Well, it ain't got a backseat or a rear window
But it still gets me where I wanna go

Yeah we're goin' Surf City, 'cause it's two to one
You know we're goin' Surf City, gonna have some fun
You know we're goin' Surf City, 'cause it's two to one
You know we're goin' Surf City, gonna have some fun, now

They say they never roll the scoops, because there's always something goin'
Surf City, here we come
You know, they're either out surfin' or they got a party growin'
Surf City, here we come
Well it's two swingin' honey for every guy
And all you gotta do is just wink your eye

Yeah we're goin' Surf City, gonna have some fun
You know we're goin' Surf City, 'cause it's two to one
You know we're goin' Surf City, gonna have some fun
You know we're goin' Surf City, 'cause it's two to one, now

And if my woody breaks down, I'll get somewhere as a surfer
Surf City, here we come
I'll strap my board to my back and hitch a ride in my wet-suit
Surf City, here we come
And when I get to Surf City, I'll be shootin' the curl
Checkin' out the parties for the surfer girls

Yeah we're goin' Surf City, 'cause it's two to one
You know we're goin' Surf City, gonna have some fun
You know we're goin' Surf City, 'cause it's two to one
You know we're goin' Surf City, gonna have some fun, now
