HEARTS UNDER FIRE
(Call/Hopper/Clover)

Strange wheels are turning
The fire I thought had gone out is burning me, is returning me
I'm going back to a state of emergency

Well I'm back in the race alright
I've just seen a face that made me wonder
Where I'll be tonight
Tell me honey, where will we turn,
where will we turn out the lights?

Yeah, and I'm alright, you know, and I know that it will show in my eyes
if I fall again
Honey, I ain't no big sinner, and my...

Hearts under fire
Tell me why you doing these things to me?
Haven't you got enough of me?

Ooh, you're so inviting
And the look that's in your eyes is like a-lightning
And it's got me rolling
Rolling, reeling with the thunder, whoa

I'm alright, you know, and I know that it will show in my eyes
if I fall again
Honey, I ain't no big sinner, and my...

Hearts under fire
Tell me why you doing these things to me?
Haven't you got enough of me?

Ooh, I'm alright, you know, and I know that it will show in my eyes
if I fall again
Honey, I ain't no big sinner, and my...

Hearts under fire
Tell me why you doing these things to me?
Haven't you got enough of me?

(Hearts under fire)
(Hearts under fire)
My hearts under fire
(Hearts under fire)
Hearts under fire
(Hearts under fire)
My hearts under fire
(Hearts under fire)
My hearts under fire, baby
(Hearts under fire)
Yeah, too much for me
(Hearts under fire)
Oh, too much for me, yeah
Way too much for me

SOUTHERN BELLES
(Call/Cregg/Hopper/Clover)

Here in New York it seems so cold today
And, hey New Orleans, you seem so far away
Like an old friend, you'll be there at the end
And I might come to stay, who can tell?

Well I'm flat on my back, on the desk, on the phone
Ain't no towels on the rack
And all the girls have gone home
I'm all by myself, but I'm still not alone
I'm dreaming 'bout ringing those Southern Belles

Southern Belles
When I hear them ringing, my heart starts singing
Southern Belles
When I start to sing, you know the bells begin to ring
Southern Belles

Southern Belles
When I hear them ring, you know my heart starts singing
Southern Belles
When I start to sing, you know the bells begin to ring
Southern Belles

It won't be long now till I smell your perfume
Sit in the back seat near the old dixie moon
And I feel like a king when the bells start to ring
Well it's *-----* swinging those Southern Belles

Southern Belles
Nashville, Knoxville, Savannah, Atlanta
Southern Belles
Richmond, Virginia; Tallahasee, Miami

Southern Belles
yeah, I dreaming 'bout ringing those southern belles
Southern Belles
dream 'bout ringing those southern belles
Southern Belles
I dreaming 'bout ringing those southern belles
Southern Belles
I dream about your dixie moon
Southern Belles
I dream about smelling your sweet perfume
Southern Belles
Dreaming, dreaming, singing, ringing
Southern Belles
Dreaming, dreaming, ringing, ringing
I dream about ringing your southern bells
Southern Belles
I dream about ringing your southern bells
Southern Belles
I dream about your dixie moon

OH SEÑORITA
(Call/McFee/Clover)

You look surprised,
when she say's, "I'm going to go away
And don't beg me to stay
Ain't nothing you can say."

Pain in your eyes
Ah, here's to your future lovers - touching her perfect skin
Ay, don't open that door
Ain't nothing for you there

Oh Señorita
Tu eres muy bonita
And my love for you keeps growing

Oh Señorita
Tu eres muy bonita
And my love for you keeps growing

Oh, don't you think you knew
All along there have been other ones
Hey, but you closed your eyes,
and you closed them again

Oh Señorita
Tu eres muy bonita
And my love for you keeps growing

And now she's gone
Yeah you're alone, except for her photograph
Ooh, the crying shame, of her photograph

Oh Señorita
Tu eres muy bonita
And my love for you keeps growing

Oh Señorita
Tu eres muy bonita
And my love for you keeps growing

Oh Señorita
Oh Señorita

STILL ALIVE
(Cregg/Call/Clover)

My head is spinning and I got a bad sore throat
Feel like drowning, but I know that I'll float
*------------------------gonna head out and drive*
Love on the wire, baby, I'm still alive

Tell me my future's written out black and white
Honey, I ain't not chicken, ain't going down without a fight
And I got last night, and I will survive
You're hearing me out, because I'm still alive

I'm still alive
I'm still alive
I'm still alive
Hey baby, I'm still alive

*------town--------shoes*
Punk on the corner ain't got nothing to lose
*Even* Dad's got mine, my Mom never fights
But don't count me out, 'cause I'm still alive

"Talk about it"

I got the paper and I read the news
I bought a new pair of those rock and roll shoes
The streets are sane and it's a brand new school
And all the kids on my block that used to call me a fool...

...now all smile and shake hands on a silly corner, and true, now tell me,

It's not the way it used to be

I'm still alive
I'm still alive
I'm still alive
Hey baby, I'm still alive

I'm still alive
I'm still alive
I'm still alive
Hey baby, I'm still alive

CALIFORNIA KID
(Call/Clover)

Now don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking any place I've been
I've met a lot of good people all around the world
But if I come on strong, I guess there's one place, that'd I'd like to
go again

And I've seen the lights of Amsterdam, I've seen the sun come up in Scotland
Man, I really dug it up there, but sometimes I wanna be...

Back in California
Sometimes I wanna be...
Back in California
'cause I cannot keep it hid
I'm a California kid

Now I get my kicks flying in a jet plane
You know at 30,000 feet you can see a lot of the world
And I'd like to come back home
And go cruising with the top pulled down

Yeah, and I've seen the lights of Amsterdam, I've seen the sun come up in Scotland
Man, I really dug it up there, but sometimes I wanna be...

Back in California
Sometimes I wanna be...
Back in California
'cause I cannot keep it hid
I'm a California kid, yeah

"Huey"

So don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking any place I've been
I got the freeway high sign from London to L.A.
But if I come on strong, remembering my old *----* day

Yeah, and I've seen the lights of Amsterdam, I've seen the sun come up in Scotland
Man, I really dug it up there, but sometimes I wanna be...

Back in California
Sometimes I wanna be...
Back in California
When I think about my baseball team...
Back in California
Hey, hey, hey
Back in California
You know I cannot keep it hid
I'm a California kid

EASY LOVE
(Call/Cregg/Lange/Ciambotti/Hopper/McFee)

Hello, Hello, How do you do?
Tell me how'd your eyes ever get so blue?
Something should let me say to you
and you to me

I saw your face, I learned your name
And I knew you understood the game
And I guess you felt the same
way, too.

(woah)
Easy Love
Each day I spend with you (woah)
Easy Love
It's so easy 'cause it's true
It's so easy loving you

Georgia Peaches and Pink Champagne
I'm about need, while pouring rain
Was falling and I felt your heart was calling me

Ooh, one night, you know, we had a ball
Laughing and a-sneaking down the hall
Taking one more curtain call
you and me

(woah)
Easy Love
Each day I spend with you (woah)
Easy Love
It's so easy 'cause it's true
It's so easy loving you

I might've said crazy things to you
All about the things that we could do
I know you know *they would've* true
But it's all right

Some people say that I'm a fool
I've never been afraid to lose my cool
Baby, I just broke the rules
by loving you

(woah)
Easy Love
Each day I spend with you (woah)
Easy Love
It's so easy 'cause it's true
It's so easy loving you

(woah)
Easy Love
(It's so easy)
Easy Love
(Easy Love)
Oh, Easy Love
(It's so easy)
Yeah, Easy Love

AIN'T NOBODY OWN NOBODY'S SOUL
(Call/Cregg/Lange/Clover)

You think you know me, but you don't know me well
Hiding in your shell, you write so well

Tonight I saw you watch me in the spotlight
Honey, it won't last long, but you're mine tonight

Ain't nobody own nobody's soul
Ain't nobody own nobody's soul

Your a two-time lover in a Wednesday afternoon romance
It's all black and white, just a weekly chance

We both know that you own a little part of me
But you should know by now, my heart belongs to me

Ain't nobody own nobody's soul
Ain't nobody own nobody's soul

Ain't nobody
(own nobody)
Ain't nobody
(own nobody)
Ain't nobody
(own nobody)
Ain't nobody own nobody's soul

You're not my first and I won't be your last
(No) Your love was so fine, but it could never last

So, baby, you go your way, and, baby, I'll go mine
Smoke your cigarettes and drink your wine

Ain't nobody own nobody's soul
Ain't nobody own nobody's soul
etc.
