3. The Downeaster 'Alexa'3:48
   Vídeo Letra

   

   Well I'm on the Downeaster "Alexa" And I'm cruising through Block Island Sound, I have charted a course to the Vineyard But tonight I am Nantucket bound. We took on diesel back in Montauk yesterday Left this morning from the bell in Gardiners Bay, Like all the locals here I had to sell my home Too proud to leave I worked my fingers to the bone. So I could own my Downeaster "Alexa" And I go where the ocean is deep There are giants out there in the canyon And a good captain can't fall asleep. I got bills to pay and children who need clothes I know there's fish out there but God only knows, They say these waters aren't what they used to be But I got people back on land who count on me. So if you see my Downeaster "Alexa" And if you work with the rod and the reel, Tell my wife I am trolling Atlantis And I still have my hands on the wheel. Now I drive my Downeaster "Alexa" More and more miles from shore every year Since they told me I can't sell no stripers And there's no luck in swordfishing here I was a bayman like my father was before Can't make a living as a bayman anymore, There ain't much future for a man who works the sea But there ain't no island left for islanders like me.
4. I Go to Extremes4:22
   Vídeo Letra

   

   Call me a joker, call me a fool Right at this moment I'm totally cool Clear as a crystal, sharp as a knife I feel like I'm in the prime of my life Sometimes it feels like I'm going too fast I don't know how long this feeling will last Maybe it's only tonight Darling I don't know why I got to extremes Too high or too low there ain't no in-betweens And if I stand or I fall It's all or nothing at all Darling I don't know why I got to extremes Sometimes I'm tired, sometimes I'm shot Sometimes I don't know how much more I've got Maybe I'm headed over the hill Maybe I've set myself up for the kill Tell me how much do you think you can take Until the heart in you is starting to break? Sometimes it feels like it will Darling I don't know why I go to extremes Too high or too low there ain't no in-betweens You can be sure when I'm gone I won't be out there too long Darling I don't know why I got to extremes Out of the darkness, into the light Leaving the scene of the crime Either I'm wrong or I'm perfectly right every time Sometimes I lie awake, night after night Coming apart at the seams Eager to please, ready to fight Why do I go to extremes? And if I stand or I fall It's all or nothing at all Darling I don't know why I go to extremes Too high or too low there ain't no in-betweens And if I stand of I fall It's all or nothing at all Darling I don't know why I go to extremes No I don't know why I go to extremes Too high or too low there ain't no in-betweens You can be sure when I'm gone I won't be out there too long Darling I don't know why I go to extremes
5. Shameless4:26

   Letra

   Well I'm shameless when it comes to loving you I'd do anything you want me to I'd do anything at all And I'm standing here for all the world to see There ain't that much left of me That has very far to fall You know I'm not a man who has ever been Insecure about the world I've been living in I don't break easy, I have my pride But if you need to be satisfied I'm shameless, baby I don't have a prayer Anytime I see you standing there I go down upon my knees And I'm changing, I swore I'd never compromise But you convinced me otherwise I'll do anything you please You see in all my life I've never found What I couldn't resist, what I couldn't turn down I could walk away from anyone I ever knew But I can't walk away from you I have never let anything have this much Control over me Cause I worked too hard to call my life my own Yes I made myself a world And it worked so perfectly But it's your world now, I can't refuse I never had so much to lose I'm shameless, shameless You know it should be easy for a man who's strong To say he's sorry or admit when he's wrong I've never lost anything I ever missed But I've never been in love like this It's out of my hands I'm shameless, I don't have the power now But I don't want it anyhow So I've got to let it go I'm shameless, shameless as a man can be You can make a total fool of me I just wanted you to know I am shameless Shameless Shameless
6. Storm Front5:16

   Letra

   Safe at harbor, everything is easy Off to starboard, daylight comes up fast Now I'm restless for the open water Red flags are flying fromhe Coast Guard mast They told me to stay, I heard all the information I motored away and steered straight ahead Though the weatherman said CHORUS There's a storm front coming (mood indigo) White water running and the pressure is low Storm front coming (mood indigo) Small craft warning on the radio I've been sailing a long time on this ocean Man gets lonesome, all those years at sea I've got a woman, my life should be easy Most men hunger for the life I lead The morning was gray, but I had the motivation I drifted away and ran into more Heavy weather off shore CHORUS We've got a low pressure system and a northeast breeze We've got a falling barometer and rising seas We've got the cumulonimbus and a possible gale We've got a force nine blowing on the Beaufort scale I'm still restless for the open water Though she gives me everything I need She asked me to stay, but I'd done my navigation I drove her away, but I should have known To stay tied up at home CHORUS
7. Leningrad4:04

   Letra

   Victor was born The spring of '44 And never saw His father anymore A child of sacrifice A child of war Another son who never had A father after Leningrad Went off to school And learned to serve the state Follow the rules And drank his vodka straight The only way to live Was drown the hate The Russian life was very sad And such was life in Leningrad I was born in '49 A Cold War kid in McCarthy time Stop 'em at the 38th parallel Blast those yellow reds to hell Cold war kids were hard to kill Under their desks in an air raid drill Haven't they heard we won the war What do they keep on fighting for? Victor was sent To some Red Army town Served out his time Become a circus clown The greatest happiness He'd ever found Was making Russian children glad And children lived in Leningrad. The children lived in Levittown Hid in the shelters underground Til the Soviets turned their ships around And tore the Cuban missiles down And in that bright October sun We knew our childhood days were done I watched my friends go off to war What do they keep on fighting for? So my child and I came to this place To meet him, eye to eye and face to face He made my daughter laugh Then we embraced We never knew what friends we had Until we came to Leningrad.
8. State of Grace4:29

   Letra

   There you go, slipping away into a state of grace I know the look that comes across your face It's so familiar to me Here I am, trying to keep you in my line of sight I'm never certain that you read me right Sometimes you don't want to see me Here we are, both of us know we're in love But that isn't always enough I never could rise above it all, down I fall But darling there you go, slipping away into a state of grace Granted, this world is not a perfect place Still it's the world that I'm in Here I am talking while You don't hear a word I say Knowing you're watching me from far away Somewhere that I've never been Don't you see, you lived a different life than me It don't mean you have to be afraid of how We're not the same, don't leave me now But darling there you go, slipping away How can I get you to stay where you are Keep you from going too far Holding you here is so hard to do I'm losing you And darling there you go, slipping away into a state of grace Drifting away into your sacred place Someplace that I've never been There you go, slipping away, slipping away into a state of grace There you go, slipping away into a state of grace Yeah, drifting away into that sacred place There you go, slipping away
9. When in Rome4:46

   Letra

   Well I see you in the morning Putting on your pretty clothes And I watch you do your make-up Like they do in all those fashion shows Then you turn to me so that I can see If you put yourself together right Then you go away and you're gone all day But I know you're coming home tonight And when you're home, Darling all you've got to be is you But when in Rome, do as the Romans do Well it's alright if you're tired When your day is done You can see when you look at me, You're not the only one It's a cold, cruel world for a working girl But you can't let them see you cry It's a fact of life, now man and wife Work full time to just get by And when we're home all It's gonna be is me and you But when in Rome, do as the Romans do I've done some strange things I Never thought I'd do before But if the strain brings happiness, More or less. More or less. Then I don't mind masquerading With all those other fools I don't mind the games I'm playing, Because I've learned the rules And when times are tough, I've got just enough If you're standing right by my side Darling more and more I get hungry for All the ways you keep me satisfied On our own there ain't nothing That we can't get through But when in Rome, do as the Romans do Then I don't mind masquerading with all those other fools I don't mind the games I'm playing, Because I've learned the rules It doesn't matter when we're home, all alone All we've got to be is me and you On our own there ain't nothing That we can't get through But when in Rome, do as the Romans do Swing that hammer and break that stone Push those buttons and answer that phone Coffee in the morning and martinis at night Everybody's working up a big appetite Do as the Romans do.
10. And So It Goes3:28

    Letra

    In every heart there is a room A sanctuary safe and strong To heal the wounds from lovers past Until a new one comes along I spoke to you in cautious tones You answered me with no pretense And still I feel I said too much My silence is my self defense And every time I've held a rose It seems I only felt the thorns And so it goes, and so it goes And so will you soon I suppose But if my silence made you leave Then that would be my worst mistake So I will share this room with you And you can have this heart to break And this is why my eyes are closed It's just as well for all I've seen And so it goes, and so it goes And you're the only one who knows So I would choose to be with you That's if the choice were mine to make But you can make decisions too And you can have this heart to break And so it goes, and so it goes And you're the only one who knows.
