TIL I HEAR IT FROM YOU (3:46)
(Jesse Valenzuela, Robin Wilson, Marshall Crenshaw)

I didn't ask
They shouldn't have told me
At first I'd laugh, but now
It's sinking in fast
Whatever they've sold me
Well baby I don't want to take advice from fools
I'll just figure everything is cool
Until I hear it from you
It gets hard
The memory's faded
Who gets what they say
It's likely they're just jealous and jaded
Well maybe I don't want to take advice from fools
I'll just figure everything is cool
Until I hear it from you
Until I hear it from you
I can't let it get me off
Or break up my train of thought
As far as I know, nothing's wrong
Until I hear it from you
Still thinking about not living without it
Outside looking in
Til we're talking about it, not stepping around it
Maybe I don't want to take advice from fools
I'll just figure everything is cool
Until I hear it from you...

SEEING STARS (3:44)
(Robin Wilson)

Spit it out, the sad truth
One of many secrets we acquired in youth
My dirty clothes
Lately I keep 'em in the luggage that you to gave me
With a little luck, one night
We'll drink together in a different light
Our heads down, our ears ring
We only see angels when we both believe
Take me, take mine, hide it away
Take me, take mine, hide it away
Spit it up, the right words
Of course we always keep 'em where we know it hurts
The little things you did too
I'd almost still believe if it weren't for you
Take me, take mine hide it away, hide it away (so late?)...
You said "Surround me when it's over, I can't stand it another night"
Forever now and definitely sober
When we stare in a different light
Spit it out, the sad truth
One of many secrets we acquired in youth
The right words
Lately I keep 'em in the luggage that you gave to me
Take me, take my hurting away (so late)
Take me, take my hurting away, hurting away (so late)
Take me, take mine, hide it away (so late)
Take me take my hurting away, hide it away (so late)

SOUL DEEP (3:05)
(Thompson)

Well darlin' I don't know much
But I know I learned so much
My life depends on your touch
For my love is a river running soul deep
Way down inside me it's soul deep
Too big to hide and it can't be denied
My love is a river running soul deep
I'd put myself to death for ya
Just to show I adore ya
Nothin' I wouldn't do for ya
Cause my love is a river running soul deep
Way down inside me it's soul deep
Too big to hide and it can't be denied
My love is a river
All I ever really want to be
Depends on your love for me
Baby believe me
If you should leave me
I'd be nothing but an empty shell
And you know darn well I can tell though
And all I ever really want to be
Depends on your love for me
Baby believe me
If you should leave me
I'd be nothing but an empty shell
You know darn well I can tell though
Well I don't know much
But I know I learned so much
My live depends on your touch
For my love is a river running soul deep
Way down inside me it's soul deep
It's too big to hide and it can't be denied
My love is a river running soul deep
My love is a river running soul deep
Way down inside me it's soul deep
It's too big to hide and it can't be denied
My love is a river running soul deep

CHRISTINE SIXTEEN (3:09)
(Gene Simmons)

She's got me dizzy
She sees me through til the end
She's got me in her hand
And there's no use in pretending
Christine Sixteen...
She drives me crazy
I want to give her what I got
She's hot every day and night
There is no doubt about it
Christine Sixteen
(I usually don't say things like this to girls your age
But when I saw you coming out of school that day
That day I knew, I knew
I've got to have you, I've got to have you)
She's been around but she's young and clean
I've got to have her, can't live without her
Oh no, Christine Sixteen...
(I don't usually say things like this to girls your age
I don't usually...well, sometimes)

IDIOT SUMMER (4:10)
(Robin Wilson)

I walked home to the sun
I couldn't ride another one
I thought a lot along the lines
And I've been fooled about all night
Wiped clean always by midnight
Wasn't it like an idiot summer
Wasn't it like an idiot summer
Three, four peaks all I could see
In the morning it's a hundred and ten degrees
But I like the goddamn heat
I lie awake half the night
Autumn is coming it seems like it's in sight
All the autumn that you can see
All the autumn that you can see
It's growing darker like the trees
But if all the trees should fall
All the bugs would crawl in my sleep
(And then we're out of work)
It's growing darker like the trees
But if all the trees should fall
All the bugs would crawl in my sleep
There's no telling I was so confused
I try but I can't help you choose
Tucson is so far away
I lie awake half the night
Autumn is coming it seems like it's in sight
Wasn't it like an idiot summer...

HEART AWAY (2:21)
(Robin Wilson)

Here's a little something that I brought here for you
It ain't much but it might just do
Fairly serious could hardly say
that I couldn't give my heart away
I couldn't give my heart away
It's never enough to feel and say
Throw my promises away
Several things that I could do
But I couldn't give my heart to you
I couldn't give my heart to you
Smokes on the table the matches are lost
There's room in the back of the bar
Fairly serious could hardly say
that I couldn't give my heart away
I couldn't give my heart away
Aw, it's not really serious but I should prove
That I don't mean what I might not do
Not that you wanted it anyway
but I couldn't give my heart away
I couldn't give my heart away...

FOLSOM PRISON BLUES (3:04)
(Johnny Cash)

Well I hear that train a comin'
It's rollin' around the bend
I ain't seen the sunshine
Since I don't know when
Well I'm stuck in Folsom Prison
And time keeps draggin' on
That train keeps rollin'
On down to San Antone
When I was just a baby
My mama told me, "Son,
Always be a good boy
Don't you ever play with guns"
But I shot a man in Reno
Just to watch him die
When I hear that lonesome whistle
I hang my head and cry
Well I bet there's rich folks eating
In a fancy dinin' car
I bet they're taking mushrooms
And smokin' big cigars
Well I know I had it comin'
I know I can't be free
Those people keep movin'
And that's what tortures me
If they free me from this prison
If that railroad train was mine
You bet I'd move it on
A little farther down the line
Yeah, far from Folsom Prison
That's where I want to be
Well those people keep movin'
Goddammit, that's what tortures me
If they'd free me from this prison
If that railroad train was mine
You bet I'd move it on
A little farther down the line
Yeah, far from Folsom Prison
That's where I want to be
Well those people keep movin'
Goddammit that's what tortures me

COLD RIVER DICK (1:14)
(Robin Wilson, Jesse Valenzuela, Bill Leen, Phillip Rhodes, Scott Johnson)

CHRISTINE IRENE (2:40)
(Robin Wilson, Jesse Valenzuela)

Well I'm a little too ripe to be actin' like this
Like some young guy barely got his first kiss
From my first baby steps to my last cigarette
Every single little thing was leading to this
Christine Irene
Pretty as a girl on a magazine
Christine Irene
My Christine Irene
You've been around too long to react so coy
Like I'm something that you'd best avoid
Like a first date kiss from an anxious guy
Knowing that he's got a little more in mind
Christine Irene
Pretty as a girl on a magazine
Christine Irene
My Christine Irene
We can last til dawn if the moon stays bright
And hang our secret on its last light
From a first date kiss that could not hide
We both wanted something more tonight
Christine Irene
Pretty as a girl on a magazine
Christine Irene
My Christine Irene
Christine Irene
Prettiest girl as I've ever seen
Christine Irene
My Christine Irene
