the byrds - turn turn turn
Words-adapted from The Bible, book of Ecclesiastes
Music-Pete Seeger
To Everything (Turn, Turn, Turn)
There is a season (Turn, Turn, Turn)
And a time to every purpose, under Heaven
A time to be born, a time to die
A time to plant, a time to reap
A time to kill, a time to heal
A time to laugh, a time to weep
To Everything (Turn, Turn, Turn)
There is a season (Turn, Turn, Turn)
And a time to every purpose, under Heaven
A time to build up,a time to break down
A time to dance, a time to mourn
A time to cast away stones, a time to gather stones together
To Everything (Turn, Turn, Turn)
There is a season (Turn, Turn, Turn)
And a time to every purpose, under Heaven
A time of love, a time of hate
A time of war, a time of peace
A time you may embrace, a time to refrain from embracing
To Everything (Turn, Turn, Turn)
There is a season (Turn, Turn, Turn)
And a time to every purpose, under Heaven
A time to gain, a time to lose
A time to rend, a time to sew
A time for love, a time for hate
A time for peace, I swear it's not too late

the byrds - absolute happiness
Absolute Happiness (Skip Battin/Kim Fowley)
Dressed in country cloth and sitting on the floor
Warmed by antique sun amid the green timber
Held together by uncertainty, climb the Babel tower
Looking up instead of down, we need room to gamble
Sunday morning exercises started stand alone
Filling in the vacant spaces with the dreams of truth
Intimitations slowly sinking in, see the dreams we dreamed
Looking up instead of down still a-hiding
Absolute happiness unties the ropes that bind
Greatness and unity shines within the mind
Shines within the mind
So long ago I promised to conscience and easily wrote a code
So the Lord and I'll soon be back together again
Men'll always be equal times a bad connection
Looking up instead of down only good prevails
Absolute happiness unties the ropes that bind
Greatness and unity shines within the mind
Shines within the mind

the byrds - all i really want to do
Written by Bob Dylan
I ain't lookin' to compete with you
Beat or cheat or mistreat you
Simplify you, classify you
Deny, defy, or crucify you
All I really want to do
Is baby be friends with you
No, I ain't lookin' to fight with you
Frighten you or uptighten you
Drag you down or bring you down
Chain you down or bring you down
All I really want to do
Is baby be friends with you
I don't want to fake you out
Take or shake or forsake you out
I ain't lookin' for you to feel like me
See like me or be like me
I don't want to meet your kin
Make you spin or do you in
Or select you or dissect you
Or inspect you or reject you
All I really want to do
Is baby be friends with you
Is baby be friends with you
Is baby be friends with you
the byrds - all the things
All The Tings (McGuinn/Levy)
See the sun how bright it is, it never was before
See the sun it shines right through my door but noone's there
I see warm smiles I never gave reflection in the air
All the things I want today, all the things I wasted on the way
See the earth how sweet it smells, I dnot know how it feels
See the earth it sleeps beneath my heels as I pass through
I see tears that I never shed in every drop of dew
All the things I want today, all the things I wasted on the way
Hear the sky singing the songs that I could have played
Too busy talking to prove that I was not afraid
See this dried up broken straw turning into rock
See this dried up broken straw forgotten and left behind
and see deeds that I never done are flowing in the wine
All the things I want today, all the things I wasted
All the things I want today, all the things I wasted
All the things I want today, all the things I wasted on the way

the byrds - amazing grace
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was blind but now am found
Was blind but now I see
It was grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed
Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come
'Tis grace hath bro't me safe thus far
And grace will lead me home
How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
In a believer's ear
It soothes his sorrows, heals the wounds
And drives away his fear
Must Jesus bear the cross alone
And all the world go free
No, there's a cross for ev'ry one
And there's a cross for me
the byrds - america s great national pastime
Written by Skip Battin and Kim Fowley
One of America's great national pastimes
Is drinking a Coke
Taking a smoke
Telling a joke
One of America's great national pastimes
Is playing ball
Taking it all
And thinking so small
But the great taste of Coke has refreshed players
The hot and tired
The weary and the sore
But the great taste of coke has refreshed players
The hot and tired
The weary and the sore
One of America's great national pastimes
Is chocolate fudge
Carrying a grudge
Bribing a judge
One of America's great national pastimes
Is poisoning rain
Acting insane
Inflicting pain
But the great taste of Coke has refreshed players
The hot and tired
The weary and the sore
The great taste of Coke has refreshed players The hot and tired
The weary and the..
One of America's great national pastimes
Is the worship of speed
Planting her seeds
Taking more than she needs
One of America's great national pastime
Is cutting the grass
Grabbing some ass
Living too fast
But the great taste of coke has refreshed players The hot and tired
The weary and the sore
The great taste of Coke has refreshed players
The hot and tired
The weary and the sore
the byrds - antique sandy
Antique Sandy (Roger McGuinn)
Antique Sandy lived in the woods
And she'd go to the stream when the weather was good
She'd take down the washin for her old man to wear
And she tried not to get eaten by the bear
She'd fly to the market in her worn out old balloon
That she traded with the flyer for an antique silver spoon
And when she got home she'd cook upon the wooden stove
And she'd go to sleep and listen to the whispers of the grove
At night she dreamed of places where she lived when she was young
Where the corn strip stretched for miles like a giant serpent's tongue
Electric lights and phone bells and every light insane (?)
Like a hundred thousand hungry miles meeting at her brain
I greet her in the morning when she wakes up in my arms
And I tell her that I love her and I'll keep her free from harm
I hold her close she matters she is all the world to me
Cause she's my Antique Sandy and she's in love with me

the byrds - artificial energy
Written by McGuinn, Hillman, Clarke
Sitting all alone now
I took my ticket to ride
Just a matter of time now
Til i'll be up in the sky.
Coming up on me now
I'm king for a night
What's it gonna be now?
How willful things are building insight
Do you think it's really the trip that you seek?
I've got my doubts it's happened to me.
Artificial energy
Is racing in my mind
I've got a strange feeling
I'm going to die before my time
Cause i'm coming down off amphetamines
And i'm in jail 'cause i killed the queen.
the byrds - bb class road
B.B. Class Road (Gene Parsons/S.Dawson)
We're driving down the highway seven days a week
Looking for a number one looking rather bleak
Well I'm a roadie what a job being a roadie
I'm a roadie B.B. Class Road
I get them to the gig on time it's not so hard to do
They only way to break a crime speeding is the thing to do
Well I'm a roadie what a job being a roadie
I'm a roadie B.B. Class Road
Well I'm really really really really tired today
I've been checking my gear all night
You know what they're all gonna say
Someday you're gonna miss a flight
Well I'm a roadie here today and truckin all the same
I'm a roadie B.B. Class Road B.B. Class Road B.B. Class Road

the byrds - bad night at the whiskey
Bad Night At The Whiskey (R.McGuinn/J.Richards)
Pushed me off the street today
The lamp light gets in the way
On the darkness you pushed me in
You say that it's a sin we're hangin' around
You told me not to sing today
You say my music gets in the way
Cause he walks on in just as you begin
Bringin' my soul brothers down
And although you're smiling
your hate will not cease
So just face yourself babe
and leave my soul in peace
Well I'll stay out of your way
if you keep out of mine
Find the good lookin' people go
Oh you know we'll both go down in time

the byrds - bag full of money
Bag Full Of Money (McGuinn/Levy)
Floating I'm floating on down through the sky
Never had no ambition to learn how to fly
I'll be glad when it's over and ready to land
with this bag full of money I've got in my hand
Oh I grew up believing in Jesse and Frank
cause I never had nothin' or noone to thank
and I came pretty close to unloadin' a bank
but I was saved by my draft board who made me a yank
Floating I'm floating...
And in the 101st they busted your hump
but they taught me a man isn't always a chump
In the course of Korea I learned how to jump
In the card game of life I was holding a trump
Floating I'm floating...
If you can't get a job and they think you're insane
If the years of your youth have been washed down the drain
And you wake up some mornin' with nothin' but pain
It was then I decided to grab me a plane
Floating I'm floating...
With all of my training it wasn't too tough
Now I'm through taking orders and all of their guff
Gonna buy a Rolls Royce and some luxury stuff
Cause a veteran's pension ain't nearly enough
Floating I'm floating...

the byrds - ballad of easy rider
Written by Roger McGuinn
The river flows
It flows to the sea
Wherever that river goes
That's where I want to be
Flow river flow
Let your waters wash down
Take me from this road
To some other town
All he wanted
Was to be free
And that's the way
It turned out to be
Flow river flow
Let your waters wash down
Take me from this road
To some other town
Flow river flow
Past the shaded tree
Go river, go
Go to the sea
Flow to the sea
The river flows
It flows to the sea
Wherever that river goes
That's where I want to be
Flow river flow
Let your waters wash down
Take me from this road
To some other town
the byrds - blue canadian rockies
In the blue Canadian Rockies
Spring is silent through the trees
And the golden poppies are blooming
'Round the banks of Lake Louise
Now, oh, how my lonely heart is aching tonight
For that girl I left behind
And, oh, what I'd give if I could be there tonight
With the sweetheart who's waitin' for me
In the blue Canadian Rockies
Spring is silent through the trees
And the golden poppies are blooming
'Round the banks of Lake Louise
Across the sea they call me
And on and on a love so true
For the blue canadian rockies
And the one I love to see
And the one I love to see
the byrds - born to rock n roll
BORN TO ROCK'N ROLL (Roger McGuinn)
Some people born in old Kentucky
They think they're living in a tunnel mine of coal
Other people born not quite so lucky
Giving everything by selling out their soul
I know that everybody's born for something
Just to feed them and keep them from the cold
Sometimes you get to do the things your meant to
And I know that I was born to rock n roll
Born to rock n roll satify your soul gonna rock n roll satisfy your soul
Gonna rock n roll satisfy your soul gonna rock n roll satisy your soul
Gonna rock n roll satisfy your soul
Always wanted to be a fireman just to steer the hook and ladder from behind
Then I thought I'd be a great inventor
But I found it might be too hard on my mind
I know that everybody's born for something
Just to feed them and to keep them it's all in the cards you hold
Yes I said I believe in magic and I believe that I was born to rock n roll
Born to rock n roll satify your soul gonna rock n roll satisfy your soul
Gonna rock n roll satisfy your soul gonna rock n roll satisy your soul
Gonna rock n roll satisfy your soul (Repeat to end)
