        1. "Show Intro"

        (Brian) Well, thank you so much, we're going to
        do the entire Pet Sounds album now, and here we go


        2. "Wouldn't It Be Nice"
        Irving Music, Inc. BMI
        Brian Wilson/Tony Asher

        Wouldn't it be nice if we were older
        Then we wouldn't have to wait so long
        And wouldn't it be nice to live together
        In the kind of world where we belong

        You know its gonna make it that much better
        When we can say goodnight and stay together

        Wouldn't it be nice if we could wake up
        In the morning when the day is new
        And after having spent the day together
        Hold each other close the whole night through

        Happy times together we've been spending
        I wish that every kiss was neverending
        Wouldn't it be nice

        Maybe if we think and wish and hope and pray it might come true
        Baby then there wouldn't be a single thing we couldn't do
        We could be married
        And then we'd be happy

        Wouldn't it be nice

        You know it seems the more we talk about it
        It only makes it worse to live without it
        But lets talk about it
        Wouldn't it be nice

        Good night my baby
        Sleep tight my baby

        Good night my baby
        Sleep tight my baby

        Good night my baby
        Sleep tight my baby

        (Brian) Thank you, thank you very much
        Track number two!


        3. "You Still Believe In Me"
        Irving Muisc, Inc. BMI
        Brian Wilson/Tony Asher

        I know perfectly well
        I'm not where I should be
        I've been very aware
        You've been patient with me

        Every time we break up
        You bring back your love to me
        And after all I've done to you
        How can it be

        You still believe in me

        I try hard to be more
        What you want me to be
        But I can't help how I act
        When you're not here with me

        I try hard to be strong
        But sometimes I fail myself
        And after all I've promised you
        So faithfully

        You still believe in me

        I wanna cry . . .
        (Brian) Thank you


        4. "That's Not Me"
        Irving Music, Inc. BMI
        Brian Wilson/Tony Asher

        I had to prove that I could make it alone
        But that's not me
        I wanted to show how independent I'd grown now
        But that's not me

        I could try to be big in the eyes of the world
        What matters to me is what I could be to just one girl
        Just one girl

        I'm a little bit scared
        Cause I haven't been home in a long time
        You needed my love
        And I know that I left at the wrong time
        My folks when I wrote them
        Told 'em what I was up to said that's not me

        I went through all kinds of changes
        Took a look at myself and said that's not me
        I miss my pad and the places I've known
        And every night as I lay there alone I will dream, I will dream

        I once had a dream
        So I packed up and split for the city
        I soon found out that my lonely life wasn't so pretty
        I'm glad I went now I'm that much more sure that we're ready

        I once had a dream
        So I packed up and split for the city
        I soon found out that my lonely life wasn't so pretty

        I once had a dream
        So I packed up and split for the city
        I soon found out that my lonely life wasn't so pretty

        I once had a dream
        So I packed up and split for the city


        5. "Don't Talk (Put Your Head On My Shoulder)"
        Irving Music, Inc. BMI
        Brian Wilson/Tony Asher

        (Brian) You can close your eyes if you want to for this song..
        or keep them open, it doesn't matter


        I can hear so much in your sighs
        And I can see so much in your eyes
        There are words we both could say
        But don't talk, put your head on my shoulder

        Come close, close your eyes and be still
        Don't talk, take my hand and let me hear your heart beat
        Being here with you feels so right
        We could live forever tonight
        Lets not think about tomorrow
        And don't talk put your head on my shoulder

        Come close, close your eyes and be still
        Don't talk, take my hand and listen to my heart beat
        Listen, listen, listen.

        Don't talk, put your head on my shoulder
        Come close, close your eyes and be still
        Don't talk, put your head on my shoulder
        Come close, close your eyes and be still

        (Brian) Thank you very much, OK, open your eyes now,
        open your eyes, now we're cooking.


        6. "I'm Waiting For The Day"
        Irving Music, Inc. BMI
        Brian Wilson/Mike Love

        I came along when he broke your heart
        That's when you needed someone
        To help forget about him

        I gave you love with a brand new start
        That's what you needed the most
        To set your broken heart free

        I know you cried, and you felt blue
        But when I could I gave strength to you
        I'm waiting for the day when you can love again

        I kissed your lips
        And when your face looked sad
        It made me think about him
        And that you still loved him so

        But you know that pretty soon
        I made you feel glad
        That you belonged to me
        And love began to show

        He hurt you then, but that's all done
        I guess I'm saying you're the only one
        I'm waiting for the day when you can love again

        Go!

        He hurt you then, but that's all done
        I guess I'm saying you're the only one
        I'm waiting for the day when you can love again

        You didn't think that I could sit around and watch you go
        You didn't think that I could sit back and watch him work
        You didn't think that I could sit back and let you go
        You didn't think that I could sit around and watch him take you
        You didn't think that I could sit back and watch you go

        (Brian) Hooray for the audience! I'll tell you what
        I'll tell you what, if you can yell louder
        than this then I'll give you a dime, hey!
        (Audience) Hey!
        (Brian) Hey!
        (Audience) Hey!
        (Brian) We tied, it was a tie
        (Jeff) One-tenth of a dollar
        (Brian) Here's an instrumental with no voices,OK

        8. "Sloop John B"
        New Executive Music BMI
        traditional (arranged by Brian Wilson)

        (Brian) Here's a song about a ship called the Sloop John

        We come on the sloop John B
        My grandfather and me
        Around Nassau town we did roam, yeah
        Drinking all night
        Got into a fight
        Well I feel so broke up
        I want to go home

        So hoist up the John B's sail
        See how the mainsail sets
        Call for the Captain ashore
        Let me go home
        I wanna go home
        Why don't let me go home,yeah yeah
        Well I feel so broke up
        I wanna go home

        The first mate he got drunk
        And broke in the Cap'n's trunk
        The constable had to come and take him away
        Sheriff John Stone
        Why don't you leave me alone, yeah yeah
        Well I feel so broke up I wanna go home

        So hoist up the John B's sail
        See how the mainsail sets
        Call for the Captain ashore
        Let me go home, let me go home
        I wanna go home, let me go home
        Why don't you let me go home
        (Hoist up the John B's sail)
        Hoist up the John B
        I feel so broke up I wanna go home
        Let me go home

        The poor cook he caught the fits
        And threw away all my grits
        And then he took and he ate up all of my corn
        Let me go home
        Why don't they let me go home
        This is the worst trip I've ever been on

        So hoist up the John B's sail
        See how the mainsail sets
        Call for the Captain ashore
        Let me go home, let me go home
        I wanna go home, let me go home
        Why don't you let me go home
        This is the worst trip I've ever been on

        (Brian) Woah! Woah! Thank you so much, this next song, my
        friend, Paul Mc Cartney told me was his favorite song


        9. "God Only Knows"
        Irving Music, Inc. BMI
        Brian Wilson/Tony Asher

        I may not always love you
        But long as there are stars above you
        You never need to doubt it
        I'll make you so sure about it

        And God only knows what I'd be without you

        If you should ever leave me
        Though life would still go on believe me
        The world could show nothing to me
        So what good would living do me

        God only knows what I'd be without you

        God only knows what I'd be without you

        If you should ever leave me
        Well life would still go on believe me
        The world could show nothing to me
        So what good would living do me

        God only knows what I'd be without you
        God only knows what I'd be without you
        God only knows what I'd be without you
        God only knows what I'd be without you
        God only knows what I'd be without you
        God only knows
        God only knows what I'd be without you
        God only knows what I'd be without you
        God only knows
        God only knows what I'd be without you
        God only knows what I'd be without you
        God only knows
        God only knows what I'd be without you
        God only knows
        God only knows

        (Brian) Thank you, thank you so much, I appreciate it, we
        all appreciate it, we love it, we love it

        to it, we think you'll like it


        10. "I Know There's An Answer"
        Irving Music, Inc. BMI
        Brian Wilson/Terry Sachen

        I know so many people who think they can do it alone
        They isolate their heads and stay in their safety zones

        Now what can you tell them
        And what can you say that won't make them defensive

        I know there's an answer
        I know now but I have to find it by myself

        They come on like they're peaceful
        But inside they're so uptight
        They trip through their day
        And waste all their thoughts at night

        Now how can I come on
        And tell them the way that they live could be better

        I know there's an answer
        I know now but I have to find it by myself

        Now how can I come on
        And tell them the way that they live could be better

        I know there's an answer
        I know now but I have to find it by myself

        (Brian) Thank you, thank you so much


        11. "Here Today"
        Irving Music, Inc. BMI
        Brian Wilson/Tony Asher

        It starts with just a little glance now
        Right away you're thinkin' 'bout romance now
        You know you ought to take it slower
        But you just can't wait to get to know her

        A brand new love affair is such a beautiful thing
        But if you're not careful think about the pain it can bring

        It makes you feel so bad
        It makes your heart feel sad
        It makes your days go wrong
        It makes your nights so long

        You've got to keep in mind love is here today
        And it's gone tomorrow
        It's here and gone so fast

        Right now you think that she's perfection
        This time is really an exception
        Well you know I hate to be a downer
        But I'm the guy she left before you found her

        Well I'm not saying you won't have a good love with her
        But I keep on remembering things like they were

        She made me feel so bad
        She made my heart feel sad
        She made my days go wrong
        And made my nights so long

        You've got to keep in mind love is here today
        And it's gone tomorrow
        It's here and gone so fast

        Ok, here's we go

        Keep in mind love is here today
        And it's gone tomorrow
        It's here and gone so fast

        Love is here today
        And it's gone tomorrow
        It's here and gone so fast

        Love is here today
        And it's gone tomorrow
        It's here and gone so fast

        (Brian)Thank you, we love your voices
        You sound great, OK, here's a little social statement


        12. "I Just Wasn't Made For These Times"
        Irving Music, Inc. BMI
        Brian Wilson/Tony Asher

        I keep looking for a place to fit
        Where I can speak my mind
        I've been trying hard to find the people
        That I won't leave behind

        They say I got brains
        But they ain't doing me no good
        I wish they could

        Each time things start to happen again
        I think I got something good goin' for myself
        But what goes wrong

        Sometimes I feel very sad
        Sometimes I feel very sad
        (Can't find nothin' I can put my heart and soul into)
        Sometimes I feel very sad
        (Can't find nothin' I can put my heart and soul into)

        I guess I just wasn't made for these times

        Every time I get the inspiration
        To go change things around
        No one wants to help me look for places
        Where new things might be found

        Where can I turn when my fair weather friends cop out
        What's it all about

        Each time things start to happen again
        I think I got something good goin' for myself
        But what goes wrong

        Sometimes I feel very sad
        Sometimes I feel very sad
        (Can't find nothin' I can put my heart and soul into)
        Sometimes I feel very sad
        (Can't find nothin' I can put my heart and soul into)

        I guess I just wasn't made for these times
        I guess I just wasn't made for these times
        I guess I just wasn't made for these times
        I guess I just wasn't made for these times
        I guess I just wasn't made for these times
        I guess I just wasn't made for these times
        I guess I just wasn't made for these times
        I guess I just wasn't made for these times
        I guess I just wasn't made for these times


        13. "Pet Sounds"
        Irving Music, Inc. BMI
        Brian Wilson

        (Brian)Now we come to the point of the show
        where we have another instumental, no voices!
        Just instruments

        (instumental)

        (Brian) Gracias! I told you they were good
        You guys picked up on that! Huh
        Now that we've made a couple onloud noises

        do a nice pretty sweet song for you



        14. "Caroline, No"
        Irving Music, Inc. BMI
        Brian Wilson/Tony Asher

        Where did your long hair go
        Where is the girl I used to know
        How could you lose that happy glow
        Oh, Caroline no

        Who took that look away
        I remember how you used to say
        You'd never change, but that's not true
        Oh, Caroline you

        Break my heart
        I want to go and cry
        It's so sad to watch a sweet thing die
        Oh, Caroline why

        Break my heart
        I want to go and cry
        It's so sad to watch a sweet thing die
        Oh, Caroline why

        Could I ever find in you again
        Things that made me love you so much then
        Could we ever bring 'em back once they have gone
        Oh, Caroline no

        (Jeff) The great Brian
        (Brian and Jeff) Wilson
        (Brian)Goodnight everybody, drive safely
