for me What must I give for

let you know What must I do to

BREAK)

your love what must I give What must I do What
will I try I’ll pay the price
I’ll sacrifice I’ll do my part Take me in your
heart Take me in your heart TIME WAITS FOR NO
ONE (SANDO) I just can’t wait for this I just can’t wait for that I keep on checkin’ that old clock on
the wall a watched pot never cooks no time write my book in the end I ain’t got nothin’ at
all (CH.)
Time waits for no one
a year goes by in the wink of an eye
time waits for no one
you know I’m gonna love you until the day
I die life sweet as the day is long I just can’t wait til dawn anticipating what the fates will
allow we’ve been through this before I never could find a cure but that was then this is now (CH.)
(BRIDGE)
I wanna capture the moment
I‘m gonna live for today
tomorrow’s never what we thought it would
be
don’t want to spend my time
holdin’ on to yesterday
another new year’s eve my heart is on my sleeve I just can’t help the way I’m feeling
inside you count the seconds down you’re listenin’ for the sound but the world keeps turning and there’s
no place to hide (CH) DIG YOURSELF
(Sando) I can still remember back in ‘68 There was a whole lot of love there
was a whole lot of hate we were looking for answers and we
really had to hunt but the pendulum swings we had to
drop back 10 and punt we were mystified
when politicians lied and children died and
mothers cried so we stemmed the tide to preserve
our mental health Dig Yourself I don't know what to do about what
other people think or what to think ‘bout what other
people do and I don’t know what to say when
somebody tells a lie but you can always see the truth if
you look it in the eye You criticize and
polarize and never realize that all your lies
can materialize through the eyes of someone
else…
BR) dig yourself- stop living in an
alternate reality
wake up, and face the facts head on
get real, we’ve got to
live up to our humanity
just look in the mirror and see…Dig
Yourself 50 years later and it’s drivng me
insane everything’s different yet
everything’s the same people of the earth we’re running
out of time but there’s a light in the darkness
if you open up your mind
you say you can’t relate to all the hate
but you procrastinate and take the bait and put
your fate back up on the shelf…Dig Yourself UNDER THE SUN
(Sando)
Things are lookin’ up said the saucer to
the cup The lights go down and the radio up tonight's the night we're gonna fall
in love take a little walk 'neath the stars
above we're birds of a feather and we got
to stay together 'til the end of time thru any kind
of weather and everything will grow Under The
Sun
I got fifty bucks and a pickup truck A golden ring and with a little bit
o’ luck cut and dry we’re gonna fly I'm gonna love you ‘til the day I
die All in all it takes two to tango
there’s more than one way to skin this mango and everything will grow Under The
Sun East West North South Which ever way the wind may blow Red dress well shut my mouth C’mon we gotta go (INST) East West North South Which ever way the wind may blow Red dress well shut my mouth C’mon we gotta go We’ll get married ‘neath a neon sign I’ll be yours and you’ll be mine We got the earth below and the sky
above Air to breath and a whole lot o’
love Pray for rain and a bumper crop We’re gonna work this land til the
Lord says stop and everything will grow Under The
Sun
LAST CALL FOR
LOVE (Sando) Hey girl, I see you lookin’ over
here It's getting late don't hesitate
‘cause your
intent is mighty clear come on a little closer and I’ll
feed you my best line do you need someone to cling to do you need someone to love
Last call for love
Do You need somebody to take you home
Last call for love
I don’t want to spend another night alone Don't be COY there’s no time to
pretend just one more round the lights come
up and this charade comes to an end That guy you’ve been talking to all
night long he’s disappeared with some other
girl do you need someone to cling to do you need someone to love
Last call for love
Do You need somebody to take you home
Last call for love
I don’t want to spend another night alone
We could turn the lights back down
and let the music start all over
we could put our lives together
and never never come back here
(inst.) your place or mine let the lovelight
shine I just know it’s gonna be so good do you need someone to cling to do you need someone to love Last call for
love
Do You need somebody to take you home Last call for
love I don’t want
to spend another night alone Lucky man (Sando) When at first I saw
you Lord I did adore you you're the one I’ve
been dreaming of How you gave me love
neath the stars above Now that I have
found you I’ll build my world
around you I don't know what
you've done to me but it's fun to me
and all the world can see Everytime you smile
at me oh oh I smile too You take away the
clouds and let that sun come shining through
and It feels so grand
when we’re walking hand in hand
who’s that lucky man with you I just want to hold
ya let my arms enfold
ya never thought I'd be
right for you that you’d love me
too I’m so glad you do and now that we’re
together our love will last
forever happiness will be
yours and mine with a love so fine
'til the end of time
all my life I have
waited for someone like you no one else could
understand my heart like you do
and it feels so grand
when we’re walking hand in hand
I say who’s that lucky man with you reflections in a
window I can’t beleve what
I
see I see two lovers
hand in hand and one of them is
me
BLUE
TRAIL
(Sando) Things are wrong and
it's been so long since anything's
made me smile I’ve been through
the mill and now I had my fill and i’m got to get away
for awhile i’m gonna drive back
down to the edge of town park at the end of
the lane there’s a bundle of
goods up in the Tenafly woods and you can come
along if you're game
Goin' up the Blue Trail
‘journin’ over hill and dale
searchin for the holy grail
we’re gonna take our time
up on the Blue Trail
put your samich in a lunch pail
blow your mind on a cattail
it won’t cost a dime / don’tcha fall
behind
Any scout would know
which way to go by the blaze that
they left behind I've walked them all
and I sure won't stall when we come to the
crossroad sign Now the red trail
died in a subdivide and the white trail
is overgrown green to the shade
by the palisade or straight ahead to
PFister’s Pond
(CHORUS) if the fishin’s good I'm
a-knockin on wood cause there’s a line
at the grocery store we'll have apples
for free and sassafrass tea and I'm hopin that
the water's still pure Tho' I'm travelling
light I'm gonna pack my kite there's a field
where you can fly my knife is sharp
and I've got my harp I never play it but
I'm goin' to try

The Cat (Sando) Every night when the cold moon rises pussy footin’ where the grass don’t
grow down the alley where it’s full of
surprises can’t help it when
you smell a rat Curiosity Killed The
Cat I’m not askin’ why your paws are all
dirty I DON’T CARE where you lost your
tail just sayin’ that you seem a little
flirty you’re gonna feel it
when you hit the mat Curiosity Killed The
Cat if you stick your
nose where it don’t belong
you can wind up wishin’ that you’d never
been born
You may have nine lives but there’ll come
a day
when you’re down to the very last one
and there’s no place left to run Now you’re sleeping with one eye
open waking up with your ear to the
ground day dreamin’ wishin’ and hopin’ let me tell you just
where it’s at Curiosity Killed The
Cat INSTRUMENTAL and now that you’ve
opened up a can of worms you can try to
forget but the flame still burns so follow
your heart but don’t lose your cool what you don’t know

in the dirt you’re just following a road that
goes nowhere a red herring on a dead end street he keeps telling you and so you
gotta go there Should have known
with a man like that Curiosity Killed The
Cat ACTIONS SPEAK
LOUDER THAN WORDS (SANDO) don't write me a letter when we're not together it don't
ring true 'cause paper and ink only makes me
think about all the things you never
(don't) do Actions Speak Louder Than Words Actions Speak Louder Than Words Actions Speak Louder Than Words Actions Speak Louder Than Words You come to my door the same as
before you been out all night well don't even speak 'cause talk is
cheap and it won't make it right (it just
ain't right) Actions Speak Louder Than Words Actions Speak Louder Than Words

we're running out of time You can make my phone ring and
whisper sweet things but I'm still alone I'm filled with desire so come start
the fire come on home baby Actions Speak Louder Than Words Actions Speak Louder Than Words CITY
WAYS (Jenkins / Sando) I look out my window Does everyone have a
name People look all the
same to me See how they are
moving They run but know
not where Living so fast and
carelessly
and it’s Monday to Friday 9 to 5
Tryin’ just to stay on time
It’s the same routine and the same old
jive well it may sound
mean but you should have seen what a man did to me while I was
walkin’ he knocked me on the ground I screamed but nobody heard a sound
‘Cause they’re too busy flaggin’ a cab or
a bus
Tryin’ just to stay on time
what in the world’s gonna happen to us
Hey Buddy can you spare me a dime
(INST)
people worried and hurried and wearin’ a
frown
trying just to stay on time
all this hustle and bustle is bringing me
down
it’s just rise and grind to the company
line
Now I get this
feeling I think it’s time to
leave find some way to
ease my mind guess I’ll go to the
country where nights are not
like days leave my city ways
behind
Cause it’s Monday to Friday 9 to 5
Tryin’ not to lose my ground
It’s the same routine and the same old
jive
and the wheels keep goin’ round
Manzanar (Sando) man’s voice on the evening news sneak attack on Oahu Much fear overcomes this nation presidential proclamation no time to pack your bags hear them knocking
on your door xenophobic retribution no regard for the constitution round them up take them away never liked them anyway check in at the railway gate send them off to
manzanar (REFRAIN) Manzanar THey
will forever wear the scar
for the crime of who they are They
spend three years in Manzanar roof leaks and the walls are thin cooped up boxed in can’t breath can’t eat can’t sleep in the dust and the heat new morning pledge the flag liberty and justice
for all night falls and the guards are tense watch towers and a barbed wire fence searchlight a man breaks out guns aimed somebody shouts stay back lay low
another day at Manzanar (REFRAIN) In the land of the Rising Sun A new day has just begun no need for negotiation
nuclear eradication little boy fat man 300,000 dead and
gone word comes down from the powers that
be break it down set them free bus ticket and 25 bucks hand shake good luck everything they owned is gone
where do they go from Manzanar
REASON
TO LIVE
(SANdo) I was born on my
birthday I don’t know when I
will die but as long as I’m
breathing I’m gonna give it a
try I’m searching for
something something that’s
real and true I’m
walking through this world looking for a reason
to live I was lost on the
highway afraid and alone but something inside
me kept on searching
for home it was dark in the
tunnel but there was light
at the end you were waiting
there That’s when I found
my Reason To Live BR:
Everytime I get this feeling
I close my eyes and think of you
you’re the one who gives life meaning
you’re the one who sees me through Now it’s late in the
evening there’s no stars in
the sky no words to explain these tears in my
eyes there’s no sleep to
be had no songs to be sung Don’t leave me now Don’t take away my Reason To
Live All songs written by Peter Sando
