I never seen you looking so bad my funky one You tell me that your superfine mind has come undone [Chorus] Any major dude with half a heart surely will tell you my friend Any minor world that breaks apart falls together again When the demon is at your door In the morning it won't be there no more Any major dude will tell you Have you ever seen a squonk's tears? Well, look at mine The people on the street have all seen better times [Chorus] I can tell you all I know, the where to go, the what to do You can try to run but you can't hide from what's inside of you [Chorus]

Five names that I can hardly stand to hear Including yours and mine And one more chimp who isn't here I can see the ladies talking How the times are getting hard And that fearsome excavation On Magnolia Boulevard Yes I'm going insane And I'm laughing at the frozen rain Well I'm so alone Honey when they gonna send me home Bad sneakers and a Pina Colada my friend Stompin' on the avenue By Radio City with a Transistor and a large sum of money to spend You fellah, you tearin' up the street You wear that white tuxedo How you gonna beat the heat Do you take me for a fool Do you think that I don't see That ditch out in the valley That they're digging just for me Yes I've gone insane You know I'm laughing at the frozen rain I feel like I'm so alone Honey when they gonna send me home Bad sneakers and a Pina Colada my friend Stompin' on the avenue By Radio City with a Transistor and a large sum of money to spend You know I'm going insane Yes I'm laughing at the frozen rain And I'm so alone Honey when they gonna send me home Bad sneakers and a Pina Colada my friend Stompin' on the avenue By Radio City with a Transistor and a large sum of money to spend

I'm not one to look behind I know that times must change But over there in Barrytown they do things very strange And though you're not my enemy I like things like they used to be And though you'd like some company I'm standing by myself Go play with someone else I can see by what you carry that you come from Barrytown Don't believe I'm taken in by stories I have heard I just read the Daily News and swear by every word And don't think that I'm out of line For speaking out for what is mine I'd like to see you do just fine But look at what you wear And the way you cut your hair I can see by what you carry that you come from Barrytown In the beginning we recall that the word was hurled Barrytown people got to be from another world Leave me or I'll be just like the others you will meet They won't act as kindly if they see you on the street And don't you scream or make a shout It's nothing you can do about It was there where you came out It's a special lack of grace I can see it in your face I can see by what you carry that you come from Barrytown

When Black Friday comes I stand down by the door And catch the grey men when they Dive from the fourteenth floor When Black Friday comes I collect everything I'm owed And before my friends find out I'll be on the road When Black Friday falls you know it's got to be Don't let it fall on me When Black Friday comes I fly down to Muswellbrook Gonna strike all the big red words From my little black book Gonna do just what I please Gonna wear no socks and shoes With nothing to do but feed All the kangaroos When Black Friday comes I'll be on that hill You know I will When Black Friday comes I'm gonna dig myself a hole Gonna lay down in it 'til I satisfy my soul Gonna let the world pass by me The Archbishop's gonna sanctify me And if he don't come across I'm gonna let it roll When Black Friday comes I'm gonna stake my claim I guess I'll change my name

A race of angels Bound with one another A dish of dollars Laid out for all to see A tower room at Eden Rock His golf at noon for free Brooklyn owes the charmer Under me His lady's aching To bring a body down She daily preaches On where she wants to be An evening with a movie queen A face we all have seen Brooklyn owes the charmer Under me A case of aces Done up loose for dealing A piece of island cooling in the sea The whole of time we gain or lose And power enough to choose Brooklyn owes the charmer Under me

If you listen you can hear it It's the laughter in the street It's the motion in the music And the fire beneath your feet All the signs are right this time You don't have to try so very hard If you live in this world You're feelin' the change of the guard All the cowboys and your neighbors Can you swallow up your pride Take your guns off it you're willin' And you know we're on your side If you want to get through the years It's high time you played your card If you live in this world You're feelin' the change of the guard

Charlie Freak had but one thing to call his own Three weight ounce pure golden ring no precious stone Five nights without a bite No place to lay his head And if nobody takes him in He'll soon be dead On the street he spied my face I heard him hail In our plot of frozen space he told his tale Poor man, he showed his hand So righteous was his need And me so wise I bought his prize For chicken feed Newfound cash soon begs to smash a state of mind Close inspection fast revealed his favorite kind Poor kid, he overdid Embraced the spreading haze And while he sighed his body died In fifteen ways When I heard I grabbed a cab to where he lay 'Round his arm the plastic tag read D.O.A. Yes Jack, I gave it back The ring I could not own Now come my friend I'll take your hand And lead you home

This is the day of the expanding man That shape is my shade There where I used to stand It seems like only yesterday I gazed through the glass At ramblers, wild gamblers That's all in the past You call me a fool You say it's a crazy scheme This one's for real I already bought the dream So useless to ask me why Throw a kiss and say goodbye I'll make it this time I'm ready to cross that fine line Learn to work the saxophone I play just what I feel Drink Scotch whiskey all night long And die behind the wheel They got a name for the winners in the world I want a name when I lose They call Alabama the Crimson Tide Call me Deacon Blues My back to the wall A victim of laughing chance This is for me The essence of true romance Sharing the things we know and love With those of my kind Libations Sensations That stagger the mind I crawl like a viper Through these suburban streets Make love to these women Languid and bittersweet I rise when the sun goes down Cover every game in town A world of my own I'll make it my home sweet home Learn to work the saxophone I play just what I feel Drink Scotch whiskey all night long And die behind the wheel They got a name for the winners in the world I want a name when I lose They call Alabama the Crimson Tide Call me Deacon Blues This is the night of the expanding man I take one last drag As I approach the stand I cried when I wrote this song Sue me if I play too long This brother is free I'll be what I want to be I learned to work the saxophone I play just what I feel Drink Scotch whiskey all night long And die behind the wheel They got a name for the winners in the world I want a name when I lose They call Alabama the Crimson Tide Call me Deacon Blues

Times are hard You're afraid to pay the fee So you find yourself somebody Who can do the job for free When you need a bit of lovin' Cause your man is out of town That's the time you get me runnin' And you know I'll be around I'm a fool to do your dirty work Oh yeah I don't want to do your dirty work No more I'm a fool to do your dirty work Oh yeah Light the candle Put the lock upon the door You have sent the maid home early Like a thousand times before Like the castle in its corner In a medieval game I foresee terrible trouble And I stay here just the same I'm a fool to do your dirty work Oh yeah I don't want to do your dirty work No more I'm a fool to do your dirty work Oh yeah

In the mornin you go gunnin' For the man who stole your water And you fire till he is done in But they catch you at the border And the mourners are all singin' As they drag you by your feet But the hangman isn't hangin' And they put you on the street [Chorus:] You go back Jack do it again Wheel turnin' 'round and 'round You go back Jack do it again When you know she's no high climber Then you find your only friend In a room with your two timer And you're sure you're near the end Then you love a little wild one And she brings you only sorrow All the time you know she's smilin' You'll be on your knees tomorrow [Chorus] Now you swear and kick and beg us That you're not a gamblin' man Then you find you're back in Vegas With a handle in your hand Your black cards can make you money So you hide them when you're able In the land of milk and honey You must put them on the table [Chorus]

While the music played you worked by candlelight Those San Francisco nights You were the best in town Just by chance you crossed the diamond with the pearl You turned it on the world That's when you turned the world around Did you feel like Jesus Did you realize That you were a champion in their eyes On the hill the stuff was laced with kerosene But yours was kitchen clean Everyone stopped to stare at your technicolor motor home Every A-Frame had your number on the wall You must have had it all You'd go to L.A. on a dare And you'd go it alone Could you live forever Could you see the day Could you feel your whole world fall apart and fade away [Chorus:] Get along, get along Kid Charlemagne Get along Kid Charlemagne Now your patrons have all left you in the red Your low rent friends are dead This life can be very strange All those dayglow freaks who used to paint the face They've joined the human race Some things will never change Son you were mistaken You are obsolete Look at all the white men on the street [Chorus] Clean this mess up else we'll all end up in jail Those test tubes and the scale Just get them all out of here Is there gas in the car Yes, there's gas in the car I think the people down the hall Know who you are Careful what you carry 'Cause the man is wise You are still an outlaw in their eyes [Chorus]

Now they lay his body down Sad old men who run this town I still recall the way He led the charge and saved the day Blue blood and rain I can hear the bugle playin' [Chorus:] We seen the last of Good King Richard Ring out the past his name lives on Roll out the bones and raise up your pitcher Raise up your glass to Good King John While he plundered far and wide All his starving children cried And though we sung his fame We all went hungry just the same He meant to shine To the end of the line [Chorus:] We seen the last of Good King Richard Ring out the past his name lives on Roll out the bones and raise up your pitcher Raise up your glass to Good King John

Felonius my old friend Step on in and let me shake your hand So glad that you're here again For one more time Let your madness run with mine Streets still unseen we'll find somehow No time is better than now CHORUS: Tell me where are you driving Midnight cruiser Where is your bounty Of fortune and fame I am another Gentlemen loser Drive me to Harlem Or somewhere the same The world that we used to know People tell me it don't turn no more The places we used to go Familiar faces that ain't smilin' like before The time of our time has come and gone I fear we been waiting too long CHORUS

I remember the thirty-five sweet goodbyes When you put me on the Wolverine up to Annandale It was still September When your daddy was quite surprised To find you with the working girls in the county jail I was smoking with the boys upstairs when I Heard about the whole affair, I said oh no William and Mary won't do Well, I did not think the girl Could be so cruel And I'm never going back To my old school Oleanders growing outside her door Soon they're gonna be in bloom up in Annandale I can't stand her Doing what she did before Living like a gypsy queen in a fairy tale Well, I hear the whistle but I can't go, I'm gonna Take her down to Mexico, she said oh no Guadalajara won't do Well, I did not think the girl Could be so cruel And I'm never going back To my old school California tumbles into the sea That'll be the day I go back to Annandale Tried to warn you About Chino and Daddy Gee But I can't seem to get to you through the U.S. Mail Well I hear the whistle but I can't go, I'm gonna Take her down to Mexico, she said oh no Guadalajara won't do Well, I did not think the girl Could be so cruel And I'm never going back To my old school

Where did you get those shoes? Well, I've seen 'em on the TV, the movie show They say the times are changing but I just don't know These things are gone forever Over a long time ago, oh yeah

I could be wrong but I have seen your face before You were the man that I saw running firom his door You owed him money but you gave him something more With a gun With a gun You will be what you are just the same Did you pay the other man with the piece in your hand And leave him lying in the rain? You were the founders of the clinic on the hill Until he caught you with your fingers in the till He slapped your hand so you settled up your bill With a gun With a gun You will be what you are just the same Did you pay the other man with the piece in your hand And leave him lying in the rain? When you're born to play the fool And you've seen all the western movies Woe to the one who does you wrong You hide in the bushes Murder the man With Luger in hand I understood that you will soon be leavin' town Don't try to call me when they finally run you down Just give fair warning any time you come around With a gun With a gun You will be what you are just the same Did you pay the other man with the piece in your hand And leave him lying in the rain?

CREDITS FOR THE ACCOMPANIMENT:

Steely Dan is an American jazz rock band whose music also blends elements of funk, R&B, and pop. Founded by core members Walter Becker and Donald Fagen in 1972, the band enjoyed great critical and commercial success in the late ‘70s and early ‘80s before breaking up in 1981. Rolling Stone has called them "the perfect musical antiheroes for the Seventies". Steely Dan reunited in 1993 and has toured steadily ever since.

Michael William Andersen Los Angeles, California

There was a Professional Rock Band in San Francisco in the Seventies. I had met Larry Hanson in about 1973 in Salt Lake City and he showed me how to play Rock Music. I thought I heard him on the radio with Styx after coming home from his house one day. I bought decent equipment in 2003 and made these recordings because the UofU demanded pay. They have called me Totally Permanently Disabled. ... more
