                                Don't Bring Me Down
                                 Written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King

                                 When you complain and criticize
                                 I feel I'm nothing in your eyes
                                 It makes me feel like giving up
                                 Because my best just ain't good enough
                                 Girl, I want to provide for you
                                 And do all the things that you want me to, but...

                                   Oh!  Oh no  Don't bring me down
                                   I'm beggin' you darlin'
                                   Oh!  Oh no  Don't bring me down

                                 Sacrifices, I will make
                                 I'm ready to give as well as take
                                 One thing I need is your respect
                                 One thing I can't take is your neglect
                                 More than anything, I need your love
                                 Then troubles are easy to rise above

                                   Oh!  Oh no  Don't bring me down
                                   Oh, no no no no no
                                   Oh!  Oh no  Don't bring me down

                                 You complain and criticize
                                 I feel I'm nothing in your eyes
                                 It makes me feel like giving up
                                 Because my best just ain't good enough
                                 Girl, I want to provide for you
                                 Do all the things that you want me to, but...

                                   Oh!  Oh no  Don't bring me down
                                   No no no no no no no
                                   I'm beggin'  Oh no  Don't bring me down
                                   Oh no no  Baby
                                   Please!  Oh no no  Don't bring me down
                                   I need your tender lovin'
                                   So please don't bring me down
                                   Oh, baby baby baby don't hurt me
                                   Don't bring me down
                                   Oh no, please don't hurt me
                                   {fade}
                           Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood

                            Baby, do you understand me now?
                            Sometimes I feel a little mad
                            But don't you know that no one alive can always be an angel
                            When things go wrong I feel real bad.

                            I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
                            Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

                            Baby, sometimes I'm so carefree
                            With a joy that's hard to hide
                            And sometimes it seems that, all I have to do is worry
                            And then you're bound to see my other side

                            I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
                            Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

                            If I seem edgy, I want you to know,
                            That I never mean to take it out on you
                            Life has its problems, and I get my share,
                            And that's one thing I never mean to do

                            'Cause I love you,
                            Oh,

                            Oh, oh, oh, baby - don't you know I'm human
                            I have thoughts like any other one
                            Sometimes I find myself, Lord, regretting
                            Some foolish thing, some little simple thing I've done

                            I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
                            Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
                            Yes, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
                            Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
                            Yes, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
                            Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

                            FADE
                            Yes, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
                                 HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN
                                  (Price)

                                  There is a house in New Orleans
                                  They call the Rising Sun
                                  And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
                                  And God I know I'm one

                                  My mother was a tailor
                                  She sewed my new bluejeans
                                  My father was a gamblin' man
                                  Down in New Orleans

                                  Now the only thing a gambler needs
                                  Is a suitcase and trunk
                                  And the only time he's satisfied
                                  Is when he's on a drunk

                                  ------ organ solo ------

                                  Oh mother tell your children
                                  Not to do what I have done
                                  Spend your lives in sin and misery
                                  In the House of the Rising Sun

                                  Well, I got one foot on the platform
                                  The other foot on the train
                                  I'm goin' back to New Orleans
                                  To wear that ball and chain

                                  Well, there is a house in New Orleans
                                  They call the Rising Sun
                                  And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
                                  And God I know I'm one
                               SKY PILOT

                                He blesses the boys as they stand in life
                                The smell of gun grease and their bayonets they
                                shine
                                He's here to help them all that he can
                                To make them feel wanted he's a good holy man.
                                Sky pilot, sky pilot, how high can you fly
                                You'll never never never reach the sky.
                                He smiles at the young soldiers
                                Tells them it's all right
                                He knows of their fears in the forthcoming fight
                                Soon there'll be blood and many will die
                                Mother and fathers back home they will cry.
                                Sky pilot, sky pilot, how high can you fly
                                You'll never never never reach the sky.
                                He humbles a prayer and it ends with a smile
                                The order is given they move down the line
                                But hell stay behind and he'll meditate
                                But it won't stop to bleeding or is the hate.
                                As the young men move out into the battle zone
                                He feels good with god you're never alone
                                He feels so tired and he lays on his bed
                                Hopes the men will find courage
                                In the words that he's said.
                                Sky pilot, sky pilot, how high can you fly
                                You'll never never never reach the sky.
                                You're soldiers of god you must understand
                                The fate of your country is in your young hands
                                May god give you strength do your job really well
                                If it all was worth in only time it will tell.
                                In the morning they returned with tears in their eyes
                                The stench of death drifts up to the skies
                                A young soldier so it looks at the sky bright
                                Remember the words thou shalt not kill.
                               WE GOTTA GET OUT OF THIS PLACE
                                (Weil/Mann)

                                In this dirty old part of the city
                                Where the sun refused to shine
                                People tell me there ain't no use in tryin'

                                Somewhere baby, somehow I know it
