ANYTIME
vNeil Finnv

vocals, acoustic guitar: Neil Finn .. vocals, electric guitar: Ed O'Brien .. vocals, electric guitar: Johnny Marr .. vocals, keyboard: Lisa Germano .. bass: Sebastian Steinberg .. drums: Phil Selway

I see a dog upon the road
Running hard to catch a cat
My car is pulling to a halt
The truck behind me doesn’t know
Everything is in the balance
Of a moment I can’t control
And your sympathetic strings
Are like the stirrings in my soul

I could go at anytime
There's nothing safe about this life
I could go at anytime

Find the meaning of the act
Remember how it goes
Every time you take the water
And you swim against the flow
The world is all around us
The days are flying past
And fear is so contagious

But I’m not afraid to laugh
I could go at anytime
There’s nothing safe about this life
I could go at anytime

Anytime [come without warning]
Anytime [it could be so easy]
A walk in the park [or maybe when I’m sleeping]
Anytime [see the clouds come over]
Rain or shine [I make you so unhappy]
Lets make it right

I feel like I’m in love
With a stranger I’ll never know
Although you’re still a mystery
I’m so glad I’m not alone

I could go at anytime
There’s nothing safe about this life
Make it so easy to fly in the night
I could go at anytime
I could go at anytime

TAKE A WALK
vNeil Finnv

vocals: Eddie Vedder .. electric guitar: Neil Finn .. electric guitar: Johnny Marr .. electric guitar: Ed O'Brien .. piano: Lisa Germano .. bass: Sebastian Steinberg .. drums: Phil Selway

Time to slip out my back door
Sunrise dancing on my wall
Heading down off beaten tracks
Try to get that feeling back

I could take a walk again
Up a mountain to a stream
Standing on the open rock
Looking out over the sea
Funny when we move ahead
Never worry what we leave behind
I could always find some peace
In the back of beyond

Kind voice from yesterday
Give love fill up every space
But now I laugh at simple truth
Sneer and frown like we all do

When the long night awakes
With memories a midnight feast
Feel the boy in me escape
There's a field of frost beneath my feet
Run, never tire, run boy, forever and ever

I could take a walk again
Up a mountain to a stream
Standing on the open rock
Looking out over the sea
Funny when we move ahead
Never worry what we leave behind

THE CLIMBER
vNeil Finnv

vocals, acoustic guitar: Neil Finn .. electric guitar, e-bow: Ed O'Brien .. vocals, ukelele: Johnny Marr .. vocals: Lisa Germano .. bass: Sebastian Selway

Beside me now are strangers to my eyes
They might be getting crazy might be wise
We’re stranded either way
In such a lonely place
I’m looking out for you
Among the flies that wait in line for days on end
And nights so cold and always so intense
I try to reach the top most every day
In hope I turn my face up to the sky
The cover hangs so low
I see no sign of life
Nothing springs to mind
Among the flies that wait in line
For days on end and nights so cold
It’s always so intense
And here we are
There’s a smile between us and its going on
You and me have always gotten through
Anyone can tell you that it’s true
You feel it every time you drive away from home
The headlights hypnotise and they take you off towards the sea
Into the night you run away with thoughts you cannot hide
Vacant eyes can’t describe my hunger
For your billowing arms
Mother I can’t help thinking of you
Take this dull ache away

LOOSE TONGUE
vNeil Finn/Jim Moginiev

vocals, acoustic guitar: Neil Finn .. electric guitar: Ed O'Brien .. electric guitar: Johnny Marr .. vocals, violin: Lisa Germano .. electric bass: Sebastian Steinberg .. drums: Phil Selway

Remember my loose tongue
Forget what I just said
I'd crawl over broken glass
If we could start again
Before our plans were made
When the world was young
The house is falling down
Because of my loose tongue

Shouldn't say so much
Shouldn't talk so loud
No sooner on your lips
Than it's all over town
In all our given days
How many gone to waste
A good man has been hung
Because of my loose tongue

Your skin is changing it's hue
Your guard is coming down fast
Looks like someone I knew
Uncovered happiness at last

All the wagging tongues
Too much information
In the future now
Under massive doubt
The papers on the street
Get trampled under feet

And they settled for a princely sum
Goodwill is coming down
And when it rains
Your well is full

[..]

He's only halfway through his life
He's only used up all his time

TURN AND RUN
vNeil Finnv

vocals, acoustic guitar: Neil Finn .. electric guitar: Ed O'Brien .. vocals, electric guitar: Johnny Marr .. vocals: Lisa Germano .. electric bass: Sebastian Steinberg .. drums: Phil Selway .. keyboard: Paul Jeffrey

There's a light overhead, overhead,
In the sky overhead, overhead,
And I'm with you now in body and music and mind,
And we'e silent and still,
Everything's so out of control tonight,
In a plane that's flying fast,
At a speed that makes me cry,
Have you left me now,
To trouble that won't let me lie,
I'm awake all the time,
You know where I stand,
Holding my plastic gun,
So turn and run,
You cold killers of innocence,
Against us there's no defence,
Your flash and your wickedness,
You can't break our love,
Tie my hands behind my back,
Put a gag on top of my mouth,
But I won't give you up,
Till silverware's covered in dust,
And my shoes fall apart,
And the tumbleweed runs,
Over my desert heart,
So turn and run,
You cold killers of innocence,
Against us there's no defence,
Your flash and your wickedness,
Will surely bring you down again,
Somehow we must stay afloat,
Won't give in to the undertow,
Something's you will never know,
You can't break our love,
You can pull us down,
But you can't break our love

ANGELS HEAP
vNeil Finn/Tim Finnv

vocals, acoustic guitar: Neil Finn .. vocals, piano: Tim Finn .. electric guitar, effects: Ed O'Brien .. double bass: Sebastian Steinberg

News travels fast
There's an old wreck in
The underpass
Wine in a glass
And a well travelled bed
Down the length and breadth
Of the motorway
Down the information highway

I took a ride in an
Angels heap
And she took me away to where
The hills are steep
Yeah I took a ride

In the still mind of a child
There's a live bird on her shoulder
She could swallow a lie
Like she's drinking a flagon of beer
I'll never be the same again
Let the black wheels fly over

I took a ride in an
Angels heap
And she took me away to where
The air was sweet
And she made me come alive
In a red vinyl seat
Yeah I took a ride

STUFF AND NONSENSE
vTim Finnv

vocals: Eddie Vedder .. vocals, piano: Neil Finn

Disobey my own decisions, I deserve all your suspicion
First it's yes and then it's no, I dilly dally down to duo
But I got no secrets that I babble in my sleep,
I won't make promises to you that I can't keep

And you know that I love you here and now, not forever
I can give you the present, I don't know 'bout the future,
That's all stuff and nonsense

I once lived for the future, every day was one day closer
Greener on the other side, this I believed before I met you
I soon learned your love burned brighter than the stars in my eyes
Now I know how and when I know where and why

And you know that I love you here and now, not forever
I can give you the present, I don't know 'bout the future,
That's all stuff and nonsense

--

And you know that I love you here and now, not forever
I can give you the present, I don't know 'bout the future,
That's all stuff and nonsense

I SEE RED
vTim Finnv

vocals: Eddie Vedder .. vocals, piano solo: Tim Finn .. electric guitar: Liam Finn .. electric guitar: Chris Garland .. bass: Joe Bramley .. drums: Matt Eccles

When my baby's walking down the street
I see red, I see red, I see red
How could someone wicked walk around free
I see red, I see red, I see red
I see re-ed, I see red [red!], I see re-ed

I respect your wishes
You gave me such precious hours
What to do without you
Squeezed me out of your life
Down the drain like molten toothpaste
I feel used and spat out
Poor old me

When my baby's walking down the street
I see red, I see red, I see red
How could someone wicked walk around free
I see red, I see red, I see red
I see re-ed, I see red [red!], I see re-ed

I'm fed up with crying
My despair is dying,
Turning into rage, day by day
Green before you met me
In the pink when you let me love you
I was blue when you let me down
Black and Blue

When my baby's walking down the street
I see red, I see red, I see red
How could someone wicked walk around free
I see red, I see red, I see red
I see re-ed, I see red [red!], I see re-ed

--

Go!
I see red, I see red, I see red
I see red! [red!]
I see red, I see red, I see red ..

SHE WILL HAVE HER WAY
vNeil Finnv

vocals, acoustic 12 string guitar: Neil Finn .. electric guitar: Ed O'Brien .. electric guitar: Johnny Marr .. vocals: Lisa Germano .. bass: Sebastian Steinberg .. drums: Phil Selway

I might be old but I'm someone new she said
I'm so sore that I could cry always
In the night lay your tired arms

She will have her way
Somehow I will still believe her

She's the life I've been frightened of seems like
Deathly silence and especially the dark
Feels like I am heavy and my spirit has died

She will have her way
Somehow I will still believe her
She will have her way
One day I will come back

Still no end in sight
Though I travel far and wide
A dying man is doing time
Thinker, soldier terrified

And she will have her way
Somehow I will still believe her
She will have her way
One day I will come back

She will have her way
When the time has gone away
She will have her way
She will have her way
But not before time
She will have her way

PARTING WAYS
vE.Vedderv

vocals, electric guitar: Eddie Vedder .. vocals: Neil Finn .. electric guitar: Johnny Marr .. electric guitar: Ed O'Brien .. violin: Lisa Germano .. bass: Sebastian Steinberg .. drums: Phil Selway

Behind her eyes there's curtains
And they've been closed to hide the flames .. remains
She knows .. their future's burning
But she can smile just the same .. same
And though her mood is fine today
There's a fear they'll soon be parting ways
Standing like a statue
A chin of stone .. a heart of clay .. hey
And though he's too big a man to say
There's a fear they'll soon be parting ways
Drifting away .. Drifting away .. Drifting away .. Away .. Away
Drifting away .. Drifting away .. Drifting away .. Away .. Away

WEATHER WITH YOU
vNeil Finn/Tim Finnv

vocals, acoustic guitar: Neil Finn .. vocals, acoustic guitar: Tim Finn .. electric guitar: Ed O'Brien .. acoustic/electic guitar: Johnny Marr .. piano: Lisa Germano .. bass: Sebastian Steinberg .. drums: Phil Selway

Walking 'round the room singing Stormy Weather
At 57 Mt. Pleasant St.
Now it's the same room but everything's different
You can fight the sleep but not the dream
Things ain't cookin' in my kitchen
Strange affliction wash over me
Julius Caesar and the Roman Empire
Couldn't conquer the blue sky

There's a small boat made of china
It's going nowhere on the mantlepiece
Do I lie like a loungeroom lizard
Or do I sing like a bird released

Everywhere you go
you always take the weather with you

PARADISE [WHEREVER YOU ARE]

vocals, acoustic guitar: Neil Finn .. electric guitar: Ed O'Brien .. acoustic/electric guitar: Johnny Marr .. acoustic guitar: Ed O'Brien .. ukelele: Eddie Vedder .. bass: Sebastian Steinberg .. drums: Phil Selway .. ukelele: Lisa Germano

Endless travel, can't remember
Where I've been
Lying in this hammock, feeling tragic
Like the ones you hear so much about
Can't wait to tell you what I've seen

Skim the water, South Atlantic
Ocean grey
Always searching for his mate
Lonely albatross cannot find them
The ones you care so much about
They're lost and you're losing your way

Too much pressure, gin and tonic water
They'll forget you, the ones you care
So much about
The'll surrender to the need

Paradise where you are

DON'T DREAM IT'S OVER
vNeil Finnv

vocals, acoustic guitar: Neil Finn .. organ: Paul Jeffrey

There is freedom within, there is freedom without
Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup
There's a battle ahead, many battles are lost
But you'll never see the end of the road
While you're traveling with me

Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win

Now I'm towing my car, there's a hole in the roof
My possessions are causing me suspicion but there's no proof
In the paper today tales of war and of waste
But you turn right over to the T.V. page

Now I'm walking again to the beat of a drum
And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart
Only shadows ahead barely clearing the roof
Get to know the feeling of liberation and relief

Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
Don't ever let them win
