"This Song Wants to Sleep With You Tonight"
Time: 4:20 MCA
Brian Wilson/Andy Paley
The tired day is gone
The hotel lights are on
There's stillness in the night, the city's sleeping.
As you lie there in your bed
A tune stays in your head
This sleepy lullaby comes softly creepin'.
Since I can't be there tonight
To hold and squeeze you tight
Oh baby...
This song wants to sleep with you
This song wants to sleep with you
This song's gonna sleep with you tonight
The melody comes near
And whispers in your ear
Through the misty nights some distant train goes reelin'.
If I could be anywhere
I'd wish that I was there
And if you should hear 'I love you' that's me singin'.
This song's a little blue
'Cause songs get lonely too
Whoa baby...
This song wants to sleep with you
This song wants to sleep with you
This song's gonna sleep with you tonight
Soft serenade, gives you soul sweet dreams
Pull down the shade, nothing's wrong
(can't you feel it, can't you feel it)
Guardian angels watch, over you at night
That's really me, and my song, and my soul
The telephone wires hiss
To bring someone a kiss
This melancholy tune is softly fadin'.
Sweet dreams keep coming on
Deep into the dawn
Oh baby...
This song wants to sleep with you
This song wants to sleep with you
This song's gonna sleep with you tonight
This sleepy lullaby comes softly creepin'
This melancholy tune is softly fadin'
Oh, whoa oh...
(This song's gonna sleep with you, this song's gonna sleep with you)
"On Christmas Day"
Time: 3:24 Executive Music
Brian Wilson
We wait all year long
For the happy happy holidays
And now that they’re here we’ll celebrate
The bells are ringing on Christmas day
They wake up the children and they’re starting to play
Look what’s under the Christmas Tree
All kinds of goodies from Santa to me
Ding Dong Ding Dong Ding Dong Day
Frosty the Snowman’s melted away
Deep inside my heart there’s a glow
All of a sudden it’s starting to snow
We all the share the joy
That comes along just once a year
Spreading so much love and bringing cheer
The bells are ringing on Christmas day
They wake up the children and they’re starting to play
Look what’s under the Christmas Tree
All kinds of goodies from Santa to me
Ding Dong Ding Dong Ding Dong Day
Frosty the Snowman’s melted away
Deep inside my heart there’s a glow
All of a sudden it’s starting to snow
Merry Christmas baby
Merry Christmas to you
Happy New Year baby
Yeah on Christmas Day
The bells are ringing on Christmas day
They wake up the children and they’re starting to play
Look what’s under the Christmas Tree
All kinds of goodies from Santa to me
Ding Dong Ding Dong Ding Dong Day
Frosty the Snowman’s melted away
Deep inside my heart there’s a glow
All of a sudden it’s starting to snow
Ding Dong Ding Dong Ding Dong Day
Frosty the Snowman’s melted away
Ding Dong Ding Dong Ding Dong Day
All of a sudden it’s starting to snow
Ding Dong Ding Dong Ding Dong Day
Frosty the Snowman’s melted away

"He Couldn't Get His Poor Body To Move"
Time: 2:36
Brian Wilson/Lindsey Buckingham
I guess you all know it's been a long long time
Since the days of turning water to wine
Things aint easy but they always improve
When you go and get your poor old body to move
Why sit hypnotised, when you could feel alive
Take my simple advice, you gotta get your poor old body to move
Seven times seven and ten times ten
You gotta pick it up start all over again
It doesn't matter which dance you choose
You gotta get your poor old body to move
Why sit hypnotised, when you could feel alive
Take my simple advice, you gotta get your poor old body to move
Get along, get a-rolling now
Get away, get away hey now
Let it out, let it out all day
Get along, on your lazy way
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
If you're feeling lost and lonely too
I bet sometimes you don't know what to do
Early in the morning when the sun shines through
That's when you get your poor old body to move
Why sit hypnotised, when you could feel alive
Take my simple advice, you gotta get your poor old body to move
Why sit hypnotised, when you could feel alive
Take my simple advice, you gotta get your poor old body to move
"Being With The One You Love"
Time: 2:36
Brian Wilson
Never have I ever
Ever told you of my fears
I thought it was important to shield
You from my doubts and tears
Woah oh oh in this world
Of people finding right and wrong
Woah our love will protect
And keep us strong
Being with the one you love
Being with the one you love
Never have you ever
Ever told me you love me
Maybe 'cause you're scared
Love has no lasting guarantee
Woah oh oh but now I'm gonna
Sshow you with my open heart
Please tell me now
We're never ever gonna be apart
Being with the one you love
Being with the one you love
Love's not a lonely place
Locked in your warm embrace
Within our private space
In our private space
You have my promise
If you wanna count on me
Let's never talk about
A life of possibilities
Woah oh oh I sing this song
To tell you what you mean to me
Woah I see your love
Stretching to infinity
Being with the one you love
Being with the one you love
Being with the one you love
Being with the one you love
Being with the one you love
Being with the one you love
"Let's Go To Heaven In My Car"
Time: 3:40
Brian Wilson/Gary Usher
So many times I've had that helpless feeling
But no-one or any kind of medicine worked at all
It seems to me that I seem to be overheating
A midnight ride with you might cure it all
Let's go to Heaven in my car
I wanna drive you there tonight
Let's go to Heaven in my car
We won't be stopping for red lights
Huggin' the kerbs and I'm out of control
Going eye to eye with the radio
Let's go to Heaven in my car
I only know it's time for body contact
I'll never be satisfied touching you with my eyes
There ain't no doubt I can't go without your loving
So come on baby let me take you for a ride
Let's go to Heaven in my car
I wanna drive you there tonight
Let's go to Heaven in my car
We won't be stopping for red lights
Huggin' the kerbs and I'm out of control
Going eye to eye with the radio
Let's go to Heaven in my car
Now Heaven is a place where lovers go
We've got all night to get there
So let's take it nice and slow
Let's go to Heaven in my car
I wanna drive you there tonight
Let's go to Heaven in my car
We won't be stopping for red lights
Let's go to Heaven in my car
I wanna drive you there tonight
Let's go to Heaven in my car
We won't be stopping for red lights
Let's go to Heaven in my car
I wanna drive you there tonight
"Too Much Sugar"
Time: 2:38
Brian Wilson
Too much sugar and too much cake
You'll end up with a belly ache
Take that greasy steak and fries
Slap that fat right on your thighs
Don't be stupid now lose your shape
Start to stretch and muscle ache
Eat you veggies and wholegrain too
Fruits and fibre will nourish you
Take those legs and make them run
When you're fit it's much more fun
Getting in shape is what it's all about
Don't you just feel it's true
Move it all around just like Jane Fonda now
Then there'll be a brand new you
Stuff you eat can poison you
Make you feel real lazy too
Drugs you take make you insane
All they do is burn your brain
One two three four kick'em high
Join a gym or visit the Y
Five six seven eight feeling fine
You can live 'til 99
Getting in shape is what it's all about
Don't you just feel it's true
Move it all around just like Jane Fonda now
Then there'll be a brand new you
Hey my momma's been cooking good
Long time eating the way I should
Getting in shape is what it's all about
Don't you just feel it's true
Move it all around just like Jane Fonda now
Then there'll be a brand new you
Too much sugar and too much cake
You'll end up with a belly ache
Take that greasy steak and fries
Slap that fat right on your thighs

All the violence that occurs seems like we never win
Love and mercy that's what you need tonight
So love and mercy to you and your friends tonight
I was sittin' in my room and the news comes on T.V.
A lotta people out there hurtin' and it really scares me
Love and mercy that's what you need tonight
So love and mercy to you and your friends tonight
I was standin' in a bar and watchin' all the people there
Oh the loneliness in this world well it's just not fair
Hey, love and mercy that's what you need tonight
So love and mercy to you and your friends tonight
Love and mercy tonight "What Love Can Do"

Somebody help me out, tell me it’s real
I need to understand, the way I feel
Feels like I’m flying here, no time for cryin' here
Can’t help but smiling here, is it you?
Is it true, is it love?
It’s been a long, long time, my what a world
There’s trouble everywhere, I’m sure you’ve heard
This must be what they mean, love conquers everything
Tell me it’s not a dream, say it’s true
Say it’s you, say it’s love
And you and I are gonna to be together every day
It’s getting better
And you and I had given up on love but people change
So don’t say never
And if you ever need the proof
Just look at me and you
Look at what love can do
God help me get it right, show us the way
It’s gonna last this time, not fade away
I know I could be wrong, although I know I’m not
Thank God for what we’ve got, cos it’s true
Cos it’s you, cos it’s love
And you and I are gonna to be together every day
It’s getting better
And you and I had given up on love but people change
So don’t say never
And if you ever need the proof
Just look at me and you
Look at what love can do
Feels like I’m flying here, no time for crying here
Can’t help but smiling here, cos it’s true
And it’s you, and it’s love
You’ve got to help me out, tell me it’s real. "Believe In Yourself"
Time: 4:24
Brian Wilson
Believe in yourself in every single way
Have faith in yourself that you will be OK
You will be OK
Believe in yourself
Put your troubles on the shelf
Happy to exist
The bad times won’t be missed
Don’t back down from that wave
You just got to be brave
Everything that you do
Will come back to you
Believe in yourself in every single way
Have faith in yourself that you will be OK
You will be OK
Everybody just feels it
Everybody feels it
Everybody just reels it
Everybody reels it
Everybody just tries it
Everybody tries it
Everybody just buys it
Everybody buys it
People coming together
Coming together
People always forever
Always forever
I’m not backing down
From that big old wave
Hello, how are you?
What do you have to do
Is your life coming down
Will you finally come around?
Every new situation
Brings a chillin’ vibration
Everything that you do
Will come back to you
Believe in yourself in every single way
Have faith in yourself that you will be OK
You will be Ok
Believe in yourself in every single way "Live Let Live"
Time: 3:52
Brian Wilson/Van Dyke Parks
Oooh
Oooh
Are the we enemy living the memory
Grandly gambling
With our hand on the lifeline
Ghost of coastlines
You are hanging on time
Every last breath that you have left
Touched by the hand of the man
Brave riding the wave
Those we can save
Live let live
Not die
You think our tears are the only ones here
And its plain you see through
All my self expectation
Most like Moses when he parted the sea
There is a roar coming from shore
Cracking a glacier no more
When there was life
They would implore
Live let live
Not die
My heart beats so fast
(Heart beat, heart beat, heart beat)
My heart beats so fast
(Heart beat, heart beat, heart beat)
Makes one wonder all right
Breaking of ice at such a price
Time for some kindly advice
Polarization the talk of the nation
Explain to me why
Hearts are turning to warming
Painful games with thunder raining a warning
There is a roar coming from shore
Fussing and fighting and war
We have so much peace we should explore
Live let live let
Love is what living is for
Your heart beats with mine
(Heart beat, heart beat, heart beat)
Our hearts beat in time
(Heart beat, heart beat, heart beat)
Be true creatures of grace
Need over ice their paradise
Let them survive our embrace
Oooh
Oooh
