Hotel California
Written by:Felder/Frey/Henley
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
Up ahead in the
distance, I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
There she stood in the doorway;
I heard the mission bell
And I was
thinking to myself,
'This could be Heaven or this could be Hell'
Then
she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
There were voices down the
corridor,
I thought I heard them say...
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely
face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year, you can
find it here
Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes bends
She got a lot of
pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard,
sweet summer sweat.
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget
So I called up the Captain,
'Please bring me my wine'
He said,'We
haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine'
And still those
voices are calling from far away,
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say...
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely
face
They livin' it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise,
bring your alibis
Mirrors on the ceiling,
The pink champagne on ice
And she said 'We
are all just prisoners here, of our own device'
And in the master's chambers,
They gathered for the feast
The stab it with their steely knives,
But they just can't kill the beast
Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the
passage back
To the place I was before
'Relax,'said the night man,
We are programmed to receive.
You can checkout any time you like,
but you can never leave!

Heartache Tonight
Written by:Frey/Henley/Seger/Souther
Somebody's gonna hurt someone
before the night
is through
Somebody's gonna come undone.
There's nothin' we can
do.
Everybody wants to touch somebody
if it takes all night.
Everybody
wants to take a little chance,
Make it come out right.
There's gonna be a heartache tonight,
a heartache tonight, I
know.
There's gonna be a heartache tonight, I know.
Lord, I know.
Some people like to stay out late
Some folks can't hold out that
long
But nobody wants to go home now.
there's too much goin' on.
This night is gonna last forever.
Last all, last all summer long.
Some
time before the sun comes up
The radio is gonna play that song.
There's
gonna be a heartache tonight,
A heartache tonight, I know.
There's gonna
be a heartache tonight,
A heartache tonight, I know.
Lord I know.
There's gonna be a heartache tonight,
the moon's shinin' bright
so turn
out the light, and we'll get it right.
There's gonna be a heartache tonight,
a
heartache tonight I know.
Heartache baby,
Somebody's gonna hurt someone, (somebody)
Before the night is
through
Somebody's gonna come undone,
There's nothin' we can
do
(Everybody) Everybody wants to touch somebody
if it takes all
night
Everybody wants to take a little chance
To make it come out right
There's gonna be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight, I
know
There's gonna be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight ,I
know
Let's go.
We can beat around the bushes;
we can get down to the
bone
We can leave it in the parkin' lot,
but either way, there's gonna be
a
heartache tonight, a heartache tonight I know.
There'll be a heartache
tonight
a heartache tonight I know.

I Can't Tell You Why
Written by:Frey/Henley/Schmit
Look at us baby, up all night
Tearing our
love apart
Aren't we the same two people who live
through years in the
dark?
Ahh...
Every time I try to walk away
Something makes me turn
around and stay
And I can't tell you why
When we get crazy,
it just ain't to right,
(try to keep you head,
little girl)
Girl, I get lonely,too
You don't have to worry
Just
hold on tight
(don't get caught in your little world)
'Cause I love you
Nothing's wrong as far as I can see
We make it harder than it has to be
and I can't tell you why
no, baby, I can't tell you why
I can't tell
you why
No,no, baby, I can't tell you why
I can't tell you why
I
can't tell you why

The Long Run
Written by:Frey/Henley
I used to hurry a lot, I used to worry a lot
I used
to stay out till the break of day
Oh, that didn't get it,
It was high time
I quit it
I just couldn't carry on that way
Oh, I did some damage, I know
it's true
Didn't know I was so lonely , till I found you
You can go the
distance
We'll find out in the long run
(in the long run)
We can handle
some resistance
If our love is a strong one (is a strong one)
People
talkin' about is
they got nothin' else to do
When it all comes down we
will
still come through
In the long run
Ooh, I want to tell you, it's a
long run
You know I don't understand why you don't
treat yourself
better
do the crazy things that you do
'Cause all the debutantes in
Houston, baby,
couldn't hold a candle to you
Did you do it for
love?
Did you do it for money?
Did you do it for spite?
Did you think
you had to, honey?
Who is gonna make it?
We'll find out in the long
run
(in the long run)
I know we can take it
if our love is a strong
one
(is a strong one)
Well, we're scared, but we ain't shakin'
Kinda
bent, but we ain't breakin'
in the long run
Ooh, I want to tell you, it's
a long run
in the long run
in the long run, etc..

New Kid In Town
Written by:Frey/Henley/Souther
There's talk on the street; it sounds so
familiar
Great expectations, everybody's watching you
People you meet,
they all seem to know you
Even your old friends treat you like you're
something new
Johnny come lately, the new kid in town
Everybody loves you, so don't let
them down
You look in her eyes; the music begins to play
Hopeless romantics, here we
go again
But after awhile, you're lookin' the other way
It's those
restless hearts that never mend
Johnny come lately, the new kid in town
Will she still love you when
you're not around?
There's so many things you should have told her,
but
night after night you're willing to hold her,
Just hold her, tears on your
shoulder
There's talk on the street, it's there to
Remind you, that it doesn't
really matter
which side you're on.
You're walking away and they're
talking behind you
They will never forget you 'til somebody new comes
along
Where you been lately? There's a new kid in town
Everybody loves
him, don't they?
Now he's holding her, and you're still around
Oh, my,
my
There's a new kid in town
Ooh, hoo
Everybody's talking 'bout the new
kid in town
Ooh, hoo
Everybody's walking' like the new kid in
town
There's a new kid in town
There's a new kid in town
I don't want
to hear it
There's a new kid in town
I don't want to hear it
There's a
new kid in town
There's a new kid in town
There's a new kid in town

Life's Been Good
Written by:Walsh
I have a mansion
Forget the price
Ain't never been there
They tell me it's nice
I live in hotels
Tear out the walls
I have accountants
Pay for it all
They say I'm crazy but I have a good time
I'm just looking for clues at the scene of the crime
Life's been good to me so far
My Maserati
Does one eighty-five
I lost my license
Now I don't drive
I have a limo
Ride in the back
I lock the doors
In case I'm attacked
I'm making records
My fans they can't wait
They write me letters
Tell me I'm great
So I got me an office
Gold records on the wall
ust leave a message
Maybe I'll call
Lucky I'm sane after all I've been through
(Everybody sing) I'm cool (He's cool)
I can't complain but sometimes I still do
Life's been good to me so far
I go to parties
Sometimes until four
It's hard to leave
When you can't find the door
It's tough to handle
This fortune and fame
Everybody's so different
I haven't changed
They say I'm lazy but it takes all my time
(Everybody sing) Oh yeah (Oh yeah)
I keep on going guess I'll never know why
Life's been good to me so far

Seven Bridges Road
Written by:Young
There are stars
In the Southern sky
Southward as you go
There is moonlight
And moss in the trees
Down the Seven Bridges Road
Now I have loved you like a baby
Like some lonesome child
And I have loved you in a tame way
And I have loved you wild
Sometimes there's a part of me
Has to turn form here and go
Running like a child from these warm stars
Down the Seven Bridges Road
There are stars in the Southern sky
And if ever you decide
You should go
There is a taste of time sweetened honey
Down the Seven Bridges Road

Wasted Time
Written by:Frey/Henley
Well baby, there you stand
With your little head,
down in your hand
Oh, my God, you can't believe it's happening again
Your baby's gone, and you're all alone
and it looks like the end.
And you're back out on the street.
And you're tryin' to remember.
How
will you start it over?
You don't know what became.
You don't care much
for a stranger's touch,
But you can't hold your man.
You never thought you'd be alone this far
down the line
And I know
what's been on your mind
You're afraid it's all been wasted time
The autumn leaves have got you thinking
about the first time that you
fell
You didn't love the boy too much, no, no
you just loved the boy to
well, Farewell
So you live from day to day, and you dream
about
tomorrow, oh.
And the hours go by like minutes
and the shadows come to
stay
So you take a little something to
make them go away
And I could
have done so many things, baby
If I could only stop my mind from wondrin'
what
I left behind and from worrying 'bout theis wasted time
Ooh, another love has come and gone
Ooh, and the years keep rushing on
I remeber what you told me before you went out on your own:
"Sometimes
to keep it together, we got to leave it alone."
So you can get on with your
search,baby, and I can
get on with mine
And maybe someday we will find ,
that it wasn't really
wasted time
Mm,hm
Oh hoo, ooh, ohh,
Ooh,ooh, mm

Take It To The Limit
Written by:Frey/Henley/Meisner
All alone at the end of the of the
evening
And the bright lights have faded to blue
I was thinking 'bout a
woman who might have
Loved me and I never knew
You know I've always been a
dreamer
(spent my life running 'round)
And it's so hard to
change
(Can't seem to settle down)
But the dreams I've seen lately
Keep
on turning out and burning out
And turning out the same
So put me on a highway
And show me a sign
And take it to the limit one
more time
You can spend all your time making money
You can spend all your love
making time
If it all fell to pieces tomorrow
Would you still be mine?
And when you're looking for your freedom
(Nobody seems to care)
And you
can't find the door
(Can't find it anywhere)
When there's nothing to
believe in
Still you're coming back, you're running back
You're coming
back for more
So put me on a highway
And show me a sign
And take it to the limit one
more time
Take it to the limit
Take it to the limit
Take it to the limit one more
time

Desperado
Written by:Frey/Henley
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
You
been out ridin' fences for so long now
Oh, you're a hard one
I know that
you got your reasons
These things that are pleasin' you
Can hurt you
somehow
Don' you draw the queen of diamonds, boy
She'll beat you if she's able
You know the queen of heats is always your best bet
Now it seems to me, some fine things
Have been laid upon your table
But you only want the ones that you can't get
Desperado, oh, you ain't gettin' no youger
Your pain and your hunger,
they're drivin' you home
And freedom, oh freedom well, that's just some
people talkin'
Your prison is walking through this world all alone
Don't your feet get cold in the winter time?
The sky won't snow and the
sun won't shine
It's hard to tell the night time from the day
You're
loosin' all your highs and lows
Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away?
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
Come down from your fences,
open the gate
It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you
You
better let somebody love you, before it's too late

Saturday Night
Written by:Frey/Henley/Leadon/Meisner
Seems like a dream, it was so long ago
The moon burned
so bright and the time went so slow
And I swore that I love her
I gave her a ring
Blue bird was high on the way
*
Whatever happened
To Saturday night
Find me a sweetheart
Holding her tight
She's a really downy
Was I alright
Whatever happened
To Saturday night
Years brought the
railroad
It ran by my door
Now there's boards on the windows
And dust on the floor
And she passed the time
At another
man's side
And I pass the time with my pride
What a tangle
every week
Go round with circle
Some one show me how to tell
The dancer from the dance
(* Repeat)
Choosing
a friend
Loosing a fight
She said, "Tell me, oh, tell me, are
you alright?"
(* Repeat twice)

All Night Long
Written by: Walsh
We get up early and we work all day
We put our time in 'cause we like to stay up
All night long
We keep on grinnin' till the weekend comes
Just a pinch between your cheek and gum
All night long, all night long
Start in the morning and get the job done
Take care of bus'ness and we have some fun
All night long, all night long
We like a long neck and a good old song
Turn it up and then we sing along
Sing along
We're all stayin' up all night long
All night long
All night long
All night long
All night long

Life In The Fast Lane
Written by:Frey/Henley/Walsh
He was a hard-headed man
He was brutally
handsome, and she was teminally pretty
She held him up, and he held her for
ransome in the heart
of the cold, cold city
He had a nasty reputation as
a cruel dude
They said he was ruthless, they said he was crude
They had
one thing in common, they were good in bed
She'd say, 'Faster,faster. The
lights are turnin' red."
Life in the fast lane
Surely make you lose your
mind, mm
Are you with me so far?
Eager for action and bot for the game
The coming attraction, the drop of
a name
They knew all the right people, they took
all the right pills
They threw outrageous parties, they paid heavily bills.
There were lines
on the mirror, lines on her face
She pretended not to notice, she was caught
up
in the race
Out every evening, until it was light
He was too tired to make it, she
was too tired
to fight about it
Life in the fast lane
Surely make you lse your mind
Life in the fast
lane, everything all the time
Life in the fast lane, uh huh
Blowin' and
burnin', blinded by thirst
They didn't see the stop sign,
took a turn
for the worst.
She said, "Listen, baby.You can hear the engine
ring.We've been up and
down this highway;
haven't seen a goddam thing."
He said,"Call the
doctor. I think I'm gonna crash."
"The doctor say he's comin', but you gotta
pay him cash."
They went rushin' down that freeway, messed around and got
lost
They didn't know they were just dyin' to get off
And it was life in
the fast lane
Life in the fast lane

Take it Easy
Written by:Browne/Frey
Well, I'm running down the road
tryin' to loosen
my load
I've got seven women on my mind,
Four that wanna own me,
Two
that wanna stone me,
One says she's a friend of mine
Take It easy, take it easy
Don't let the sound of your own
wheels
drive you crazy
Lighten up while you still can
don't even try to
understand
Just find a place to make your stand
and take it easy
Well, I'm a standing on a corner
in Winslow, Arizona
and such a fine
sight to see
It's a girl, my Lord, in a flatbed
Ford slowin' down to
take a look at me
Come on, baby, don't say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love is
gonna save me
We may lose and we may win though
we will never be
here again
so open up, I'm climbin' in, so take it easy
Well I'm running down the road trying to loosen my load,
got a world of
trouble on my mind
lookin' for a lover who won't blow my
cover, she's so
hard to find
Take it easy, take it easy
don't let the sound of your own
wheels make you crazy
come on baby
don't say maybe
I gotta know
if your sweet love is
gonna save me, oh oh oh
Oh we got it easy
We oughta take it easy
