Tapioca Tundra
By michael nesmith
Reasoned verse, some prose or rhyme
Lose themselves in other times
And waiting hopes cast cast silent spells
That speak in clouded clues.
It cannot be a part of me,
For now its part of you.
Careful plays on fields
That seems to vanish when theyre in between
And softly as I walk away
In freshly tattered shoe.
It cannot be a part of me
For now its part of you.
Sunshine, ragtime
Blowing in the breeze.
Midnight, looks right
Standing more at ease.
Silhouettes and figures stay
Close to what he had to say
And one more time the faded dream

Some Of Shellys Blues
By michael nesmith
Tell me, just one more time,
The reasons why you must leave.
Tell me once more why youre sure you dont need me.
Tell me again, but dont think that youll convince me.
Now youve said, before falling in love again
Youd rather be dead.
cause when someone breaks your heart
You cry your eyes read.
But theres nothin so hard about the life that youve lead
As far as I can see theres no reason for goodbyes.
Youre just running scared and thats something I wont buy.
So you lose
I wont let you go with nothing to show but more blues.
And all this talk about leavin is strictly bad news.
So you settle down and stay with the man that loves you.
As far as I can see theres no reason for goodbyes.
Youre just running scared and thats something I wont buy.
So you lose
I wont let you go with nothing to show but more blues.

Nine Times Blue
Theres a certain something in the way
You looked at me and said youd stay
That let me know that I was out of line
But I didnt know what else to do
And like a fool I tested you,
By demanding things of you which werent mine
And now I feel like such a fool
For making you crawl back to me
But you did it with such love
That youre standing far above
Me and all I did to you
Im sorry now, what can I do?
I know that never in the world
That I have found me such a girl
Whos there to pick me up before I fall
And if in the end we should go
Both our separte ways I know
The lesson Ive learned here is worth it all.
cause now I feel like such a fool
For making you crawl back to me

Propinquity (I've Just Begun To Care)
by Gerry Goffin & Carole King
The local rock group down the street
Is trying hard to learn their song,
They serenade the weekend squire
Who just came out to mow his lawn.
Another pleasant valley Sunday,
Charcoal burning everywhere,
Rows of houses that are all the same,
And no one seems to care.
See Mrs. Gray, she's proud today
Because her roses are in bloom,
And Mr. Green, he's so serene,
He's got a TV in every room.
Another pleasant valley Sunday,
Here in Status Symbol Land,
Mothers complain about how hard life is,
And the kids just don't understand.
Creature comfort goals, they only numb my soul,
And make it hard for me to see.
Ahhh...thoughts all seem to stray to places far away,

Do It In The Name Of Love
Lead vocal: david jones and micky dolenz
Produced by: jeff barry
You could make it all so easy. (aaah)
Girl you know just how to please me. (aaah)
Dont you do it if you think you got to. (aaah)
Dont you do it cause you think you ought to. (aaah)
Ooh, do it in the name of love.
If you really want me thats reason enough.
Do it in the name of love. (do it in the name)
Do it in the name of love.
Baby, aint it good to go together? (aaah)
I swear it feels just like forever. (aaah)
Hmmm dont be scared and dont you worry, no (aaah)

Ooh, do it in the name of love.
If you really want me thats reason enough.
Do it in the name of love. (do it in the name)
Do it in the name of love.
Do it in the name of love.
If you really want me thats reason enough.

Shades Of Gray
By barry mann and cyntha weil
When the world and I were young,
Just yesterday.
Live was such a simple game,
A child could play.
It was easy then to tell right from wrong.
Easy then to tell weak from strong.
When a man should stand and fight,
Or just go along.
But today there is no day or night
Today there is no dark or light.
Today there is no black or white,
Only shades of gray.
I remember when the answers seemed so clear
We had never lived with doubt or tasted fear.
It was easy then to tell truth from lies
Selling out from compromise
Who to love and who to hate,
The foolish from the wise.
But today there is no day or night

Hollywood
by Michael Nesmith
The sun that's falling from the southwestern sky
Tells me that I must depart,
So, by sundown today, I'll be on my way,
But I'll be leaving my heart.
It's not the countryside that appealed to my eyes,
It's the spirit and it captured my mind,
But the things I tried to be made a wreck out of me,
Now a different road, I must find.
These things I think are new, I guess they're really old,
It seems I've done 'em once before
Now, to go back to that fork in the road,
Takes all the strength of my soul and more.
Oh, goodbye, goodbye you cruel town,
You've been a fair-weather friend,
Now I will go to some places that I know
Where things don't start just to end.
These things I think are new, I guess they're really old,
It seems that I've done 'em once before,
Now, to go back to that fork in the road,

Bye Bye, Baby, Bye Bye
Bye bye, baby, bye bye
Dont want to make you cry
Bye bye, baby, bye bye
Dont want to make you cry
Ill be leaving you now
Youll get along somehow
Time time is gone when you and I were strong
Time time is gone when you and I were strong
Isnt easy to leave, isnt easy to leave
You spend you life thinking about living
You spend your whole life
Bye bye baby bye bye
Dont want to make you cry
Time time time is gone when you and I were strong
Time time time is gone when you and I were strong
Isnt easy to leave, isnt easy to leave
You spend your time sitting there thinking
Thinking about sitting there thinking
You waste my time talking about dieing
Dieing when you should be trying

Oh my my, I could love you forever.
Oh my my, I only wish that I could.
Oh my my, I could love you forever.
Oh my my, girl you feel so good.
You, you make my heart sing.
You make my life worthwhile.

To uncover it is gonna take a while.

Ladys Aid Society
In every little town and village too
Somewhere in the neighborhood
Youll find a little band of ladies who
Cant stop doing good
Good for the pigeons in the park
Good for the weekly tea
Good for the national bank where they keep their treasury
Were the ladies aid society
And were really a great bunch of girls
Were the ladies aid society
And soon well take over the world
Here they come marching down the street
Witgh their picket signs in hand
With their blue and white pleated uniforms
And their all girl five-piece band
Down with long haired singing groups
Down with the mayor too
And if you;re under 65 theyre down on you
Were the ladies aid society
And we just want to sell you the truth
