Young Man
Written by james young
Lead vocals by james young
People say with age there comes experience
But as soon as you are born you start to die
Older men are chosen to speak wisely
But call the child to the sacrificial rite
Who can we get to win the fight?
Young man!
Who can we get to make love all night?
Young man!
Who do we send away to die?
Young man!
I heard a lonely woman cry for a
Young man!
The fire bombs in distant lands are burning
Jarring every synapse in your soul
Life and death are a meaningless profession
Tomorrow brings a horror yet untold
Who can we get to win the fight?
Young man!

After You Leave Me
Written by george clinton
Lead vocals by james young
You come to me girl
Tears are in your eyes
Your heads bowed in sorrow
You whisper your good-byes
Theres nothing I can tell you
To make you want to stay
So let me ask one question
Before you slip away
After you leave me
Where can I go?
After you leave me
What will I do?
Ive seen this moment coming
For such a long, long time
Ive laid awake for hours
Rehearsing every line
But now that its here girl
Cant think of anything to say

Manic Depression
{intro slowwed down talking begins}
Star fleet to scout ship, please give your position. Over.
I'm in orbit around the third planet from the star called
the sun. Over.
You mean its the Earth? Over.
Positive. It is known to have some form of intelligent species. Over.
I think we should take a look.
{intro slowwed down talking ends}
Strange beautiful grass of green,
with your majestic silver seas
Your mysterious mountains I wish to see closer
May I land my kinky machine?
{start slowwed down}
Strange beautiful, grass of green
with your majestic silver seas
Your mysterious mountains I wish to see closer
May I land my kinky machine?
{end slowwed down}
Although your world wonders me,
with your majestic and superior cackling hen

Mother Dear
Written by john curulewski
Lead vocals by john curulewski
Lonely feelings in the city
One room flat with crumbling walls
Sirens play a distant melody
Neon shadows paint the halls
In the thirteen months Ive spent here
With my manuscript and rhymes
Ive paid in cash for foolish pleasures
Mother dear youd call them crimes
Raise the roof
Light the lite
Mother dear Im returning tonight
Now I see
Your concern
Mother dear how you taught me to learn
I been a roman for survival
Showing two sides of my face
I need the comfort of your wisdom
Im coming home to your embrace

Rockin The Paradise
Written by dennis deyoung
Lead vocals by dennis deyoung
So whatcha doin tonight?
Have you heard that the worlds gone crazy?
Young americans listen when I say theres people puttin us down
I know theyre sayin that weve gone lazy
To tell you the truth weve all seen better days
Dont need no fast buck lame duck profits for fun
Quick trick plans, take the money and run
We need long term, slow burn, getting it done
And some straight talking, hard working son of a gun.
Whatcha doin tonight, I got faith in our generation
Lets stick together and futurize our attitudes
I aint lookin to fight, but I know with determination
We can challenge the schemers who cheat all the rules
Come on take pride, be wise, spottin the fools
No more big shots, crackpots bending the rules
A fair shot here for me and for you
Knowing that we cant lose
And well be rockin in paradise

First Time
Written by dennis deyoung (for paul)
Lead vocals by dennis deyoung
The lights are low
And were alone
The fires glow
It keeps us warm
As I reach out and touch your face
The moon lights up our first embrace
But please dont hesitate
Hold my hand, dont be afraid
Of the feelings in your heart
Just close your eyes, no one will mind
If were to fall in love this first time
Dont be afraid of love
Dont be afraid of love
Dont be afraid of love
Its the first time
The first time for love
There could be so many worlds and mountains
We could climb

Queen Of Spades
Written by james young/dennis deyoung
Lead vocals by dennis deyoung
Day into night shes with me
How sweet is her warm embrace
Safe in the scent of jasmine
So safe in her gold and lace
Mornings I find, shes left me
So cold so alone, but aware
I try to escape, she finds me
Oh run though I may, shes there, there, there, there, there...
Luck is a lady whose smile is as cold as a stone
Shell bring you things, many things you might never have known
But when your die is cast shell have the final laugh at you
Shell lock you in a duel, where you come out the fool
Beware of the queen of spades
Her black widows curse might find you yet
Beware of a love that you will regret
Her love means only your death
Day into night shes with me
Turn of a card, shes there

Little Fugue In "G"
(Lawrence Gowan)
Get your eyes open wide
And take a good look there outside
You're not here to be denied
Let them have it
Sail them rivers, fly those skies
Thirty-thousand suns to rise
And among them your true love lies
You're gonna find it
Little Face
Little Face
You got big things coming
Bigger than you ever dreamed
Little Face
Little Face
I am beside you running
On this good ol' boy you can lean
You can lean
See Little Face I understand
I won't force you on command

Christopher, Mr. Christopher
Written by dennis deyoung
Lead vocals by dennis deyoung
I remember christopher
Such a man
So brave and tall
He took the baby jesus
In his arms
Across the waterfall
People cried, "he's holy!
He's a saint not a man!"
All at once it was written
In the book of the land
Christopher, mr. christopher
Why won't they leave you alone?
Christopher, mr. christopher
Why won't they leave you alone?
There was mary margaret
A christian lady
Dressed in black
She believed st. christopher

The Grand Illusion
Written by dennis deyoung
Lead vocals by dennis deyoung
Welcome to the grand illusion
Come on in and see whats happening
Pay the price, get your tickets for the show
The stage is set, the band starts playing
Suddenly your heart is pounding
Wishing secretly you were a star.
But dont be fooled by the radio
The tv or the magazines
They show you photographs of how your life should be
But theyre just someone elses fantasy
So if you think your life is complete confusion
Because you never win the game
Just remember that its a grand illusion
And deep inside were all the same.
Were all the same...
So if you think your life is complete confusion
Because your neighbors got it made
Just remember that its a grand illusion
