Movie Music 02:31
Chorus: When I see your face movie music plays movie music plays when I see your face When I know that I may see you I prepare what I'll say and do determined that I'll keep my cool invariably I'm a fool cuz when I see your face movie music plays I think I might just lose my grip I see that you still bite your lip adrift on a see of your green eyes when they turn blue I am capsized cuz when I see your face movie music plays I'm starting to see it's kind of sad I can't get over what we had I've written a hundred songs for you I just can't seem to get over you cuz when I see your face movie music plays Chorus

The hummingbird stopped again today to ask how you had been. He said, "I haven't seen your best friend in a year and a day." And so I told the truth of what had gone wrong that you and I needed space. He said, "What is this thing called space, is it a year or a day? "Is it true, is she gone, has she not heard all these songs? If she had, do you think she might have stayed? Because I had been lost in the desert so long, and then I heard your song." Well the hummingbird's not the kind of guy who you want to tell a lie to so tell him, tell him true. The hummingbird still wants to know not me - I gave up long ago - Are you gone to stay?

Illinois 04:09
Chorus: Illinois, Illinois... Oh my girl, let me go my way, let me go my way. Oh my girl, you have torn your dress keeping me off of that train. I have run a fever across the open plain and that westbound rail is coursing in my veins. I can walk you home but then I'm on my way, in all your towns the bells are ringing out our old refrain. You know you're an incurable drunk and I love your eyes. What a beautiful wreck you are. I love you, goodbye. Chorus Don't look now I'm all dressed up in my corduroys, heading west toward the Badlands with the Elephant Boy. Now send my regards to old Cook County, South Side stockyards and their bounty, give my love to both your mom and dad. And I will keep your paintings on my wall, I will grow my hair so long that you will know I can't stay long. When morning comes against the rain, with that westbound rail coursing in my veins. What a beautiful wreck you are. I love you, goodbye. Chorus

Chorus: I'm gonna stack 'em up I'm gonna stack 'em up I'm gonna stack 'em up I'm gonna burn 'em down I'm gonna stack 'em up I'm gonna stack 'em up I'm gonna stack 'em up I'm gonna burn 'em down Why'd you leave, why'd you leave all of your records Why'd you leave, why'd you leave all of your toys Why'd you leave, why'd you leave all of your letters from your other boys? I'm gonna stack 'em up I'm gonna stack 'em up I'm gonna stack 'em up I'm gonna burn 'em down I'm gonna stack 'em up I'm gonna stack 'em up I'm gonna stack 'em up I'm gonna burn 'em down Hey, little bird why did you fly away? Where in the world are you gonna stay? Hey, little girl who is gonna love you? Chorus Why'd you leave, why'd you leave all of your records Why'd you leave, why'd you leave all of your toys Why'd you leave, why'd you leave all of your letters from your other boys?

I threw away all my time on you I threw away all my pride on you Your heart is so cold as a comet's core and my love will blaze forever more Chorus: You claim our love was wrong but you keep me holding on by the streetcar spark I am gone I still got it bad baby I still got it bad for you I do

Wind-Up Bird 03:41
Wind-up bird you're so wild and so alone so free yet you belong high above my neighborhood Wind-up bird each day heard but never seen you're obscured among the trees you're busy winding up the spring of the world and all the little people in it if not for you it might stop spinning and we'd have to start back beginning Wind-up bird you're so wild and so alone so free you don't belong to me

Paris called - their parasols are running to the sea. They caught wind you're home again, they're envious of me. You're so beautiful, you're so beautiful. In Japan the ladies' fans are going out of style, they were told that you've gone home, they're tumbling down the aisles. You're so beautiful, you're so beautiful. Everything's falling apart when you leave. Just turn around if you don't believe me. In old Cairo the river flows northward to the sea. But now it's turned around again and follows you and me. You're so beautiful, you're so beautiful...
