"(I'm a) CORN ON THE COB" I'm a corn on the cob, I'm a corn on the cob, I'm a corn on the cob, and I'm covered with corn - all over my cob. Tiny pieces of me stuck between your teeth, slather me with butter and baptise me with your feet. I'm a corn on the cob. You can use my silk for many different things, you can decorate your home or decorate your wig I'm a good accessory. I'm divided into rows, kernels in a line, I make good whiskey they say it's really fine. I'm a corn on the cob. (bridge) I'm a corn on the cob, I'm a corn on the cob, I'm a corn on the cob, and I'm covered with corn - all over my cob. Tiny pieces of me stuck between your teeth, slather me with butter and baptise me with your feet. I'm a corn on the cob. You can use my silk for many different things, you can decorate your home or decorate your wig I'm a good accessory. I'm divided into rows, kernels in a line, I make good whiskey they say it's really fine. I'm a corn on the cob. Oh I'm a corn on the cob, I'm a corn on the cob, I'm a corn on the cob, I'm a corn on the cob, I'm a corn on the cob, I'm a corn on the cob.

Rock Is Dead (free) 03:28
"ROCK IS DEAD" (Ferranti / Meadows) Don't listen to your mama, She's not the girl she used to be. Don't listen to your papa, He's just another man, you see. I heard it once on the radio when I was just a boy But it's dead, so long, it ain't never comin' back "Rock is dead", I think that's what she said, Well it's gone, so long, bye bye! Save your days for another one; leave behind all that is gone. Don't walk across the ocean, Many people have been washed away. Don't forget to give her the moon, the sun and stars each day. dah dah dah dah (etc) I heard it once on the radio when I was just a lad But it's gone, so long, it ain't never comin' back. "Rock is dead", I think that's what she said Well, it's gone, so long, bye-bye! Save your days for another one; leave behind all that is gone Save yourself for another one; leave behind all that is gone. "Rock is dead", I think that's what she said Well, it's dead, so long, it ain't never comin' back "Rock is dead", I think that's what she said Well, it's dead, so long, bye-bye! Save your days for another one Leave behind all that is gone Save your days for another one Leave behind all that - is gone!

Hung Up (demo) (free) 02:02
"Hung Up" (Ferranti / Meadows) I'm getting out of bed, but it's just the same day. I'm taking my time... I climb onto the bus, and I try to get to work on time, They're all laughing at me; I might as well do it for free. But this is my time, what am i supposed to say now? Y'know it's so hard getting through - You're not hung up on me like I'm hung up on you! Ah - Yesterday. Yes - today! Am I wasting my time? Well, I have not yet fallen into a hole (that i know) I'm playing my cards the only way I know how I wish you were here ain't got nothin' to hold. But, this is my life, so I can't fake it Y'know it's so hard getting through to you Why aren't you you hung up on me like I'm hung up on you? Ah, yesterday.

Go Home (medley) (free) 02:43
"Go Home" (medley version) (Meadows / Ferranti) Oh I've been finding my way through the dark on this cold hot night. I thought the world where I lived was okay until i saw the light! There's a feelin' inside me, I ain't feelin' the same way, And now my decision is simple and clear as black and white. Better go now, better go on home, Go home, better go on home, Better go home, better go home twice, Better go home, better go home nice. They say that Mary's alright in places, But I just can't believe in her eyes. Searching her for an answer Isn't asking for something that's wise. There's a feeling inside me, I ain't feeling the same way, And now my decision is simple and clear as black and white. But, tomorrow will you feel the same? And if we break up, will I see you again? So better go now, better go home now, Go home, go-go-go home twice. I have found me a girl who is young and not too bright. But she is a one-of-a-kind and she makes everything alright. There's a feeling inside me, I ain't feeling the same way, And now I am seeing myself in her future every day and night! But, tomorrow will you feel the same? And if we break up, will I see you again? So better go now, better go home now, Go home, better go home now. They say that Mary's alright in places, But I just can't believe in her eyes. Searching her for an answer Isn't asking for something that's wise. So, the feeling surrounds me, I know she's feeling the same way, And I am seeing myself in her future every day and night.

Oh, I, I never thought that you would ever go away from me. But I, I have been wrong before, and it's about damn-time that I plainly see, That you're never comin' back, no, you're never comin' back. I can see that you're never comin' back to me, baby. Someday has become yesterday, (tied up) tied up all my tomorrows. Ever since you've gone, I realize I was hypnotized in your love.

Perfect Day (free) 03:09
"Perfect Day" (Bankston / Weber) Aaaahhhh.... Long ago and far away, with nothin' being planned, people lived a different life, all across the land. Oh, ah, those times've gone forever, fading memories, dying shades of grey. It's so much better now, today, oh, isn't it - a perfect day? Aaahh... Now we live in comfort as we've never done before anything your heart desires is waiting at the store. Imitation edibles, and radiated veggies and much more. It's better now this way, they say, Oh, isn't it - a perfect day? Plastic money pays the bills, Plastic people popping plastic pills (meanwhile), just look around! Everything the eye can see wreaks of mediocrity; isn't this the way that it should be? Long ago and far away, the sky was always blue. All that sun and oxygen isn't good for you! Still i must admit its getting darker all the time and warmer too! It's better now, this way, they say, Oh, isn't it - a perfect day? It's better now, this way, they say, Oh, isn't it - a perfect day? A perfect day! A perfect day! A perfect - daaaaay!
