"Hang On To Your Ego" Time: 3:16 Recorded at Western Studios 1/24/66 Brian Wilson/Tony Asher I know so many people who think they can do it alone They isolate their heads and stay in their saftey zones Now what can you tell them And what can you say that won't make them defensive Hang on to your ego Hang on, but I know that you're gonna lose the fight They come on like their peaceful But inside they're so uptight They trip through the day And waste all their thoughts at night Now how can I say it And how can I come on When I know I'm guilty Hang on to your ego Hang on, but I know that you're gonna lose the fight Now how can I say it And how can I come on When I know I'm guilty So hang on to your ego Hang on, but I know that you're gonna lose the fight (Banana [Marylin Wilson to BW's dog] Hey Chuck is it possible we could bring a horse in here without, if we don't screw anything up [Brian Wilson] I beg your pardon [Chuck Britz] Honest to God, now, the horse is tamed and everything [Brian Wilson]) Trombone Dixie

"Heroes And Villains" (Alternate Version) Mixed 1/??/67 Brian Wilson/Van Dyke Parks I've been in this town so long that back in the city I've been taken for a lost and gone An unknown for a long long time Fell in love years ago With an innocent girl From the Spanish and Indian home Home of the heroes and villains Once at night Catillion squared the fight And she was right in the rain of the bullets that eventually brought her down But she's still dancing in the night Unafraid of what a dudeÍll do in a town full of heroes and villains In the cantina Margarita's keep the spirit high There I watched her She spun around and Round in the warmth of her body Fanned the flame of the dance Dance Margarita don't you know that IÍm in love with you Dance Dance You're under arrest! My children were raised You know they suddenly rise They started slow long ago Head to toe healthy weathy and often wise At three score and five I'm very much alive I still got the jive to survive with the heroes and villains "Good Vibrations" (Various Sessions) Time: 6:53 Brian Wilson/Mike Love "Good Vibrations" take one We're rolling in there We're rolling come on let's go One two, one two three Hold it please.
