Feed Your Soul
04:24

A cup of flour
A cup of sugar
Some baking powder
Bake for an hour
Spread on some butter
And draw the shutters
And feed your soul with love
A little frying
A little broiling
A little grilling
If you are willing
Put on some mustard
I can be trusted
To feed your soul with love
If you come on in my kitchen
The scent is so bewitching
It will make you start to twitching your nose
It's all so delicious
And always nutritious
Is it because it's made with love
Do you suppose
A bowl of soup
Potato salad
I've got what's tasty
For your palette
If you want lovin'
Turn on the oven
And feed your soul with love

Brokedown Man
03:41
|

I used to eat fillet mignon and truffles every night
Escargot and Caviar, everything served up just right
But since you left me baby I'm eating beans out of a can
That's why they call me the brokedown man
Well I used to drive a fancy car, a sky-blue Cadillac
A chauffeur sitting in the front, and a diamond in the back
But since you left me baby I got a rusty old sedan
That's why they call me the brokedown man
Well people say I've let myself go
That I don't even really seem to care anymore
But they don't know and they don't understand
What a woman like you can do to a man
Well I used to wear silk suits, neckties, leather shoes and satin socks
But since you left me baby I just wear a cardboard box
I walk the streets at midnight cause I haven't got a plan
That's why they call me the brokedown man

Reach the Sea
04:35
|

|
Well you never know
And you never can tell
Where the river goes
That's where you're going as well
In a little boat
Just you and me
I'll stay with you
Until we reach the sea
Little fishes swim
Way down below
And the seagulls fly
Who knows where they go?
The fishes and the seagulls
And you and me
I'll stay with you
Until we reach the sea
People on the banks are calling to us
I can't hear a word they say
The sun and the clouds and the boat and the river
A lifetime in a summer day
Let the river flow
And carry us away
I don't care if I
Can have this sunny day
That goes on and on
Until we're set free
I'll stay with you
Until we reach the sea

Cold Comfort
04:04
|

|
You and your baby had a fight
And you tell yourself at least I know I'm right
Well that's cold comfort
When your baby's gone away
When you're down on the avenue
And you tell yourself I showed that girl a thing or two
Well that's cold comfort
When your baby's gone away
Well you might still have your reputation
You might still have your pride
But that won't be much consolation
When you're lying there alone at night
When you wake up at 2 or 3
And you tell yourself at least I know I'm free
Well that's cold comfort
When your baby's gone away

Set Break
03:35
|

|
It's the set break
It's time to have a drink
The band has finally stopped
So you have some time to think
It's time to use the restroom
Please be sure to use the sink
At the set break
Let's take 5
It's the set break
That boy or girl you think is hot
You'd better get the digits
Or it might be all for naught
Now's your chance when there's no music
You have some time to talk
At the set break
Maybe take 10
Well some bands don't take set breaks
Cause they're afraid the crowd will go away
We just hope the music's good enough
You'll all decide to stay
Through the set break
Go outside and have a smoke
Try to impress your date
By telling your best jokes
Sometimes we get a little tired
Playing this music for you folks
We take a set break
Better make it 15
It's the set break
So give us one more hand
And put on some house music
That sounds nothing like our band
Live music happens to sell beverages
In bottles or in cans
So at the set break
You know what to do
It's the set break
Use your makeup and your comb
Drink heavily but responsibly
Let's try to make it home
Maybe now would be a good time
To call a ride up on your phone
At the set break
Let's be safe out there
Well some bands take short set breaks
So the energy won't die
Other bands take long ones
And stand around in a circle outside
At the set break
This short break is all we have
We're all working hard here
So please tip the waitstaff
Make sure to tip us too
We're not doing this for laughs
At the set break
Tell us we play good
And we're all gonna have a real good time at the set break
We'll be right back!

Soul Mine
04:28
|
|||
|
Well I wake up in the morning
Put my axe in my hand
I go down to the soul mine
Way down under the land
Well my axe is nice and sharp
Because I use it every day
I've got so much soul
They've got to haul it all away
Cause I've been working in the soul mine
Digging for soul
All my friends are down here with me
And they've got sharp axes too
When we all get together
Then we all know what to do
When the people hear that sound
They start to jump and sing
They come from miles around
Just to hear that hammer ring
Cause we've been working in the soul mine
Digging for soul
Well it's hard working here in the soul mine
Sometimes it's hard to see the light
But you've got to send the power to the people
So they can get down on Saturday night
If you dig deep in your soul
You never know what you might find
There are seams of hidden treasure
Buried deep within the mine
Well I hope you'll come with me
And we can have a ball
If we can work together
There'll be lots of soul for all
Cause we've been working in the soul mine
Digging for soul

Dream House
04:16
|

|
I've been living in a dream house
When I see you in my dreams
The dogs are playing in the yard
We never have to work too hard
Such a beautiful scene
I've been walking through a dream house
Like the one the one that I once knew
Just listening for my mamma's call
Or following the bouncing ball
Searching for something I've lost
Cause when I wake up, and it's cold outside
It's just another day of walking in the rain
I just can't wait until I get home
So I can go to bed again
If you come into my real house
You'll find it's not the way it seems
I've been living in a dream house
When I see you in my dreams

Blue Hawaii Blues
03:40
|
|||
|
There's an island in my mind
Where I go from time to time
When I get the blue Hawaii blues
That's when I want to follow
The road to Waimanalo
When I get the blue Hawaii blues
There's a place you can go
With the sea down below
And the sky up above
You can fall in love
I'm going to shake the sand out of my shoes
When I get the blue Hawaii blues
I'm going to see my baby
Way down in Hanapepe
When I get the blue Hawaii blues
When we get to Wailua
She'll be glad to say I knew her
When I get the blue Hawaii blues
When the winter winds blow
Then it's time for me to go
To a place far away
Down in Hanalei bay
I'll be gone by the time you get the news
When I get the blue Hawaii blues
