Get Over It
Written by:Frey/Henley
I turn on the tube and what do I see
A whole lotta
people cryin' "Don't blame me"
They point their crooked little fingers ar
everybody else
Spend all their time feelin' sorry for themselves
Victim
of this, victim of that
Your momma's too thin; your daddy's too fat
Get over it
Get over it
All this whinin' and cryin' and pitchin' a
fit
Get over it, get over it
You say you haven't been the same since you had your little crash
But you
might feel better if I gave you some cash
The more I think about it, Old
Billy was right
Let's kill all the lawyers, kill 'em tonight
You don't
want to work, you want to live like a king
But the big, bad world doesn't
owe you a thing
Get over it
Get over it
If you don't want to play, then you might as
well split
Get over it, Get over it
It's like going to confession every time I hear you speak
You're makin'
the most of your losin' streak
Some call it sick, but I call it weak
You drag it around like a ball and chain
You wallow in the guilt; you
wallow in the pain
You wave it like a flag, you wear it like a crown
Got
your mind in the gutter, bringin' everybody down
Complain about the present
and blame it on the past
I'd like to find your inner child and kick its
little ass
Get over it
Get over it
All this bitchin' and moanin' and pitchin' a
fit
Get over it, get over it
Get over it
Get over it
It's gotta stop sometime, so why don't you
quit
Get over it, get over it

Love Will Keep Us Alive
Written by:Capaldi/Carrack/Pete/Vale
I was standing
All alone against the
world outside
You were searching
For a place to hide
Lost and lonely
Now you've given me the will to survive
When we're
hungry...love will keep us alive
Don't you worry
Sometimes you've just gotta let it ride
The world is
changing
Right before your eyes
Now I've found you
There's no more
emptiness inside
When we're hungry...love will keep us alive
I would die for you
Climb the highest mountain
Baby, there's nothing
I wouldn't do
I was standing
All alone against the worlk outside
You were searching
For a place to hide
Lost and lonely
Now you've given me the will to
survive
When we're hungry...love will keep us alive
When we're
hungry...love will keep us alive
When we're hungry...love will keep us alive

The Girl From Yesterday
Written by:Frey/Tempchin
It wasn't reall sad the way they said
good-bye
Or maybe it just hurt so bad she couldn't cry
He packed his
things, walked out the door and drove away
And she became the girl from
yesterday
He took a plane across the sea
To some foreign land
She stayed at
home and tried to understand
How someone who had been so close could be so
far away
And she became the girl from yesterday
She doesn't know what's right
She doesn't know what's wrong
She only
knows the pain that comes from waiting for so long
And she doesn't count the
teardrops
That she's cried while he's away
Because she knows deep in her
heart
That he'll be back someday
The light's on in the window; she's waiting by the phone
Talking to a
memory that's never coming home
She dreams of his returning and the things
that he might say
But she'll always be the girl from yesterday
Yeh,
she'll always be the girl from yesterday

Learn To Be Still
Written by:Henley/Lynch
It's just another day in paradise
As you
stumble to your bed
You'd give anything to silence
Those voices ringing
in your head
You thought you could find happiness
Just over that green
hill
You thought you would be satisfied
But you never will-
Learn to
be still
We are like sheep without a shepherd
We don't know how to be alone
So
we wander 'round this desert
And wind up following the wrong gods home
But the flock cries out for another
And they keep answering that bell
And one more starry-eyed messiah
Meets a violent farewell-
Learn to
be still
Learn to be still
Now the flowers in your garden
They don't smell so sweet
Maybe you've
forgotten
The heaven lying at your feet
-Solo-
There are so many contridictions
In all these messages we send
(We
keep asking)
How do I get out of here
Where do I fit in?
Though the
world is torn and shaken
Even if your heart is breakin'
It's waiting for
you to awaken
And someday you will-
Learn to be still
Learn to be
still
You just keep on runnin'
Keep on runnin'

Tequila Sunrise
Written by:Frey/Henley
It's another tequila sunrise
Starin' slowly
'cross the sky, said goobye
He was just a hired hand
Workin' on the
dreams he planned to try
The days go by
Ev'ry night when the sun goes down
Just another lonely boy in town
And she's out runnin' 'round
She wasn't just another woman
And I couldn't keep from comin' on
It's
been so long
Oh, and it's a hollow feelin' when
It comes down to dealin'
friends
It never ends
Take another shot of courage
Wonder why the right words never come
You just get numb
It's another tequila sunrise,this old world
still
looks the same,
Another frame, mm...

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!

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

Pretty Maids All In A Row
Written by:Vitale/Walsh
Hi there,
How are 'ya?
it's been
a long time
My, but we learn so slow
and heroes, they come
and they
go
and leave us behind as if
we're s'pposed to know why
Why do we
give up our hearts to the past?
and why must we grow up so fast?
And all you wishing well fools
with your fortunes
someone should send
you a rose with
love from a friend,
it's nice to here from you again
And the storybook comes to a close
Gone are the ribbons and bows
Things to remember places to go
Pretty Maids all in a Row
Oh, oh oh,
oh......

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

New York Minute
Written by:Henley/Kortchmar/Winding
Harry got up
Dressed all in black
Went down
to the station
And he never came back
They found his clothing
Scattered somewhere down the track
And he won't be down on Wall Street
in the morning
He had a home
The love of a girl
But men get lost sometimes
As
years unfold
One day he crossed some line
And he was too much in this
world
But I guess it doesn't matter anymore
In a New York Minute
Everything can change
In a New York Minute
Things can get pretty strange
In a New York Minute
Everything can
change
In a New York Minute
Lying here in the darkness
I hear the sirens wail
Somebody going to
emergency
Somebody's going to jail
If you find somebody to love in this
world
You better hand on tooth and nail
The wolf is always at the door
In a New York Minute
Everything can change
In a New York Minute
Things can get a little strange
In a New York Minute
Everything can
change
In a New York Minute
And in these days
When darkness falls early
And people rush home
To the ones they love
You better take a fool's advice
And tak care
of your own
One day they're here;
Next day they're gone
I pulled my coat around my shoulders
And took a walk down through the
park
The leaves were falling around me
The groaning city in the
gathering dark
On some solitary rock
A desperate lover left his mark,
"Baby, I've changed. Please come back."
What the head makes cloudy
The heart makes very clear
The days were
so much brighter
In the time when she was here
But I know there's
somebody somewhere
Make these dark clouds disappear
Until that day, I
have to believe
I believe, I believe
In a New York Minute
Everything can change
In a New York Minute
You can get out of the rain
In a New York Minute
Everything can
change
In a New York Minute

The Last Resort
Written by:Frey/Henley
She came from Providence,
the one in Rhode
Island
Where the old world shadows hand
heavy in the air
She packed
her hopes and dreams
like a refugee
Just as her father came across the
sea
She heard about a place people were simlin'
They spoke about the red
man's way,
and how they loved the land
And they came from everywhere
to the Great Divide
Seeking a place to stand
or a place to hide
Down in the crowded bars,
out for a good time,
Can't wait to tell you
all,
what it's like up there
And they called it paradise
I don't
know why
Somebody laid the mountains low
while the town got high
Then the chilly winds blew down
Across the desert
through the canyons
of the coast, to the Malibu
Where the pretty people play,
hungry for
power
to light their neon way
and give them things to do
Some rich men came and raped the land,
Nobody caught 'em
Put up a
bunch of ugly boxes, and Jesus,
people bought 'em
And they called it
paradise
The place to be
They watched the hazy sun, sinking in the sea
You can leave it all behind
and sail to Lahaina
just like the
missionaries did, so many years ago
They even brought a neon sign:"Jesus is
coming"
Brought the white man's burden down
Brought the white man's
reign
Who will provide the grand design?
What is yours and what is mine?
'Cause there is no more new frontier
We have got to make it here
We satifsy our endless needs and
justify our bloody deeds,
in the
name of destiny and the name of God
And you can see them there,
On Sunday morning
They call it paradise
I don't know why
You call someplace paradise,
kiss it goodbye

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

In the City
Written by:Devorzon/Walsh
Somewhere out there on that horizon
Our beyond the
neon lights
I know there must be somethin' better
but there's nowhere
else in sight
It's survival in the city
When you live from day to day
City streets don't have much pity
When you're down, that's where you'll
stay
In the city,oh,oh.
In the city
I was born here in the city
With my back against the wall
Nothing
grows, and life ain't very pretty
No one's there to catch you when you fall
Somewhere out on that horizon
Faraway from the neon sky
I know there
must be somethin' better
And I can't stay another night
In the
city,oh,oh.
In the city

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

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
