Vs.1
Sun has gone down
Day is done there’s not a sound
You lay by me softly breathing
In my head my thoughts are weaving
Words about my love and feelings
Dancing joy is spinning round
And in my head I hear this sound
going...
Cho.
Doo wop baby doo wop boodly boo
Doo wop baby doo wop coodly coo

Morning sun is coming up now
Day is breaking in our room
Sunlight kisses your cheek
Peaceful sleep on your face so sweet
Any moment now you’ll wake up and I can
Take you up and I can tell you
All the love that kept me awake
All the love that kept me singing
Cho.
Doo wop baby doo wop boodly boo

Cho.
Football Hero
High School Star
Traveling Salesman
Wherever you are
Away from your
Loved ones
Making a living
Living alone
That’s the
Way things are
vs.1
He married for Love,
He never did rest
He worked all the time
To get his family the best
But instead we starved
For his love and affection
We waited forever
For a time of perfection
Cho.
vs.2
Love was the passion
He sold his life for
We stayed at home waiting
Hoping for more
But hard as he drove
There was never more time
He was sold down the river
Before I was nine.
Cho.
vs. 3
I never knew Daddy
He was gone all the time
I know that he loved me
I remember a time
He said “Darkness Forever
My Intimate friend,
Put your head on my shoulder son
Let this time never end”
Cho.

4. Cool Guys Drove Camaros
Copyright © 2003 Mark Gurley (words) and Greg Hyde (Music)
Cho.
All the really cool guys drove Camaros out to Skyline Boulevard
At midnight
With impossibly thin
Cheerleaders at their sides and
Up their noses.
Come to class late
Didn’t do the work
It’s me now
I’m the jerk.
Vs.1
Where do the birds go at night?
Where is the enlightenment that
36 years should bring?
Where did I put my glasses
And my old wedding ring?
Stacked- Auburn-Hazel-Ruby-Sweetheart
Borrowed my only down coat
Why didn’t she bring it back?
Where is my ‘83 Dodge Colt now?
And my woodburning stove?
Are they all packed in the back of Some VW bus
Parked in Pacific Grove?
Parked in Pacific Grove?
Cho.
All the really cool guys drove Camaros out to Skyline Boulevard
At midnight
With impossibly thin
Cheerleaders at their sides and
Up their noses.
Come to class late
Didn’t do the work
It’s me now
I’m the jerk.
Bridge:
I don’t want to know where my
Wife went
I don’t want to hear
Alanis Morrisette again
I wasn’t listening when the
Hollow, thin, aluminum door
Slammed
After she said I
Wasn’t a man.
Cho.
All the really cool guys drove Camaros out to Skyline Boulevard

Vs.2
I want to know where the
Birds are right now.
I want to read near a
Woodburning stove.
All enlightenment escapes me
It’s probably packed in the back of Some VW bus
Parked in Pacific Grove
Parked in Pacific Grove

5. Measure Loving You
Copyright © 1983 Greg Hyde
vs.1
After love, after talking
After coffee in the morning
You leave me peacefully
Surronded by your love.
Cho.
That’s when I
Miss you so much
When it’s
Warm from your body
And I
Smell you there but you have
Left the room and I
Hear your steps as they
Go down the hallway
And that’s partly
How I measure
Loving You
vs2
It seems so empty
It seems so weak
I know these feelings
Are sentimental
And that’s why
I need you so
And it’s partly
How I measure
Loving You
Bridge
And yet I don’t want you
Beside me always
I want to have you love me back
I want you free to do your own life
I want you free to pick me back.
Cho.
That’s when I
Miss you so much
When it’s
Warm from your body
And I
Smell you there but you have
Left the room
And I hear your steps as they
Go down the hallway
And that’s partly
How I measure
Loving You
End.

Come on over and rub me
Come on over and over and over and over and...
Cho.
Bridge:
Can you feel it?
Can you touch it?
Can you taste it?
Can you smell it?
Bring it on down now
Bring it on down now
Bring it on down now
Bring it real low.
Let me whisper
Let me whisper
Let me whisper
So you’ll know...
Cho.
Shall we do it again?
I say, shall we do it again?
I think I’ll do it again now...
Cho.
End.
7. Cure For A Broken Heart
Copyright © 1991 Greg Hyde
vs.1
Into my life you
Rode one night
Like a star
In the black
Flowers and Love
I Gave to you then...
All I saw was your back.
You don't need me
You don't need anyone
You want a souvenir love
Now that I know you're just an
Act and a show
I see it's my time to go
Show's over anyway now ...
Cho.
The only cure for a
Broken heart
Is to let it , Is to let it , Is to let it bleed
The only cure for a
Broken heart
Is to let it , Is to let it , Is to let it bleed
vs.2
You lit up my life then
Left in smoke
Just leave them
Where they lie
Yeah that's it isn't it?
How could I know you
Consume your men
How could I know I'd almost die.
Learned a lesson in
Love once again
I thought I was too wise.
If you're to live you should
Look to your heart
And guard it with your Life.
Listen up man, I'm tellin' you:
Cho.
Bridge:
The girl is sassy
The woman is fine.
Put the girl and the
Woman together
They are deadly
They are deadly
They are deadly combined.
Cho.

9. Young Summer Nights
Copyright © 1969 Greg Hyde
There was a night when my
Buddy and me went a
Riding the dunes of
Laguna Beach.
We had been working as
Carpenters two building the
Sets for a stage there for
Friends that he knew.
Oh young summer days
Young summer nights.
The sound of music mixed
Well with the laughter, the
Singing hammer and
Glistening youth.
Oh, young summer days
Young summer nights.
Shortly after that I had to
Go into the Army it was
VietNam overseas and the
End of the Beach Boys.
I spent my time helping
Crazies process paper, keeping their
Patients out of trouble, trying
Not to lose my mind.
Oh, young summer days weren’’t they?
Young summer nights
But the best thing that happened was
Falling in love, one was
Chicana, soft and sweet and the
Other was a dove.
Oh, young summer days
Young summer nights.
Woh, now I am lost
Where are you?
It’s hard for me to believe that it
Happened.
I can’t believe we wouldn’t stay in touch
Now and then I get this lonely memory
A thin slice of life can sometimes be so
Very much.
Those were the days
Those were the nights
Woh now I am lost
Where are you?
Oh that’s not to say I think that I’m
Unhappy for by
Far I think the opposite is true. But
Sometimes now I think the thing I’m
Really missing is the
Simple truth we lived by in our
Youth.
Oh young summer days
Young summer nights wern’t they?
I love my wife and precious
Son and darling daughter but I
Can’t keep at the pace and the
Payments get me down
Oh, those were the days
Those were the nights.
Woh now I am lost
Where are you?
Woh now I am lost
Where are you?
Woh now I am lost
Where are you?
End.

Copyright © 1981 Greg Hyde
Vs.1
I like the way we talk things over.
You put your head on my
Shoulder.
Maybe it’s a sign we’re
Growing older.
It’s so nice we’re
Growing together.
Vs.2
I live a little bit of your day when you
Tell me the feelings that
Happened that day.
Sharing the laughing and
Sharing the crying;
Touching when loving or
Touching when far apart.

Most people just can’t start.
We create from each other.
Some people break apart
Lose their hearts

13. The Huns
Copyright © 2002 Greg Hyde
Suddenly you get this strange feeling.
You look around, things seem fine.
Off in the distance there is thunder
Of a different kind.
Can you feel the horses coming?
See the dust from a thousand hoves running?
Crushing the life out of the tundra
Heading your way.
Sounds like the Huns are coming.
They’re washing everything away.
They’re like sea of plunder
Washing our world away.
Cho.
They move so swift on their ponies.
They ride with lust in their eyes.
There is no mercy in their hunger.
Sound the alarm we’re going to die.
You try and calm yourself with prayer.
You gather all the brave souls.
And even though your body shivers
You’ve got to stay and
Protect what you believe in...
It may be the time of sacrifice.
May be your ultimate test.
But if there is one
Shred of humanity
You’ve got to let all the
Black Evil know...
We are the ones on the
Side of God
Whether we
Live or die
We’ve lived our lives on the
Side that is right and
Now we’re prepared to fight.
Vs.2
Can you feel the thunder?
Singing death and dancing woe?
Mocking love and tender with
Every blow.
Can you feel the tanks a rollin’?
See the dust from a thousand tracks rumbling.
Crushing the life out of our cities
Heading our way.
Cho and End.
