        A side with "Cuddle Up"
        Brian Wilson/Jack Rieley

        I need a breeze blowing softly
        To keep my wind vane from standing
        I need a whole lot of sunshine
        To keep my sundial advancing
        I need some soil 'fore my grass will grow
        I need some spark to make my candle glow

        Relief I cried
        Ain't no shuck 'n' jive
        I need a mess of help to stand alone

        I need a spark by a fire
        To stop the cold of my winter
        I need a burst of your raindrops
        To keep a flow in my river
        I need a call for my phone will ring
        I need your song for my voice will sing

        Please realize
        I'm not half alive
        Without a mess of help to stand alone

        (She don't know me)
        (She don't know it)

        (She don't know)
        (She don't know me)
        (She don't know it)

        I need the warmth of your smile
        To heat my frostbitten sorrow
        I need your hand on my shoulder
        To lead todays to tomorrows
        I need your strength to lock me to the track
        I need your trust to bust the things I lack

        Belief I cried
        Ain't no shuck 'n' jive
        I need a mess of help to stand alone

        2. "Here She Comes"
        Time: 5:13 Brother Publishing Co. BMI
        Ricky Fataar/Blondie Chaplin

        Here she comes
        Breathing life in to my thoughts
        There she goes
        Leaves a portrait in my soul
        Rolling in madness
        She does everything to me
        Wherever she goes you know the devil dances
        And the gods lay down in defeat

        Am I living
        Crazy woman can't you see
        That I'm giving
        Giving to you can you dig
        Me

        I wanna live
        To learn the truth before my door
        Don't you know
        I'm a simple man for all I know
        This might be the hard way
        But it's easier for me
        To take all the changes that are always amazin'
        But to never let 'em fence me in

        Am I living
        Crazy woman can't you see
        That I'm giving
        Giving to you can you dig
        Me

        Me I'm only searchin' for the things I really need
        I can't rely on anyone to sow and grow my seeds
        I started out on empty promise I was living on my dreams
        I was a runaway son and now I'm up out of the water
        And I can barely barely breathe
        Rolling down the road
        Rolling down the road
        Rolling down the road
        Rolling down the road
        Rolling down the road

        Listen listen
        Hear the music play
        Listen listen
        Hear the music play yeah
        Listen listen
        Hear the music play
        Listen listen
        Hear the music play

        Am I living
        Crazy woman can't you see
        That I'm giving
        Giving to you can you dig
        Me

        Brian Wilson/Alan Jardine/Mike Love

        People have you heard of the world plan
        To know the inner nature of every man
        Jesus came down to save the world from sin
        Sayin' "Seek ye first the kingdom within"
        Maharishi teaches us to meditate
        To dive deep within come out and radiate
        All of the saints through all creation
        Sing the same song of revelation

        I believe it (Dig deep if you know what I mean yeah)
        (I believe him)
        I believe it (Dig deep if you know what I mean now)
        (In my heart)

        (Way down inside)
        I believe it

        He came down down down down down down down
        Yes I mean down down down down
        Yes he did
        >From the glorious kingdom

        Hey-yon-du-coma-nauga-ton
        Means avoid the suffering before it comes
        Krishna said a long time ago
        To "To let the arrow fly first pull back the bow"
        Guru Dev's wisdom is just the thing...
        To save mankind from all this suffering
        Maharishi gives a lift to every man's bible
        Bringin' us the news of the new revival

        And I believe
        I believe it (Dig deep if you know what I mean yeah)
        (Yes I believe)
        I believe it (Dig deep if you know what I mean now)
        (In my heart)
        I believe it (Dig deep if you know what I mean now)
        (Yeah)
        I believe it (Dig deep if you know what I mean now)
        (I'm talking about people)
        I believe it (Dig deep if you know what I mean now)
        (in my soul) (Dig deep if you know what I mean now)
        I believe it (Dig deep if you know what I mean now)
        (To believe)
        I believe it (Dig deep if you know what I mean now)

        Men see, cries before the road
        Say can a wall bleed

        Ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo

        Tell me life is over
        It begins
        Within my world
        You've gotta believe it's so

        Yes I believe it
        Yes I believe it
        Yes I beliiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeve

        Ooh

        He came down
        To make me care for my home
        Gave me a song
        To help the sound of my own
        Showed me the way
        To get through every day
        I thank you my Lord
        For sending this man home
        Mmmmmm

        Oh oh oh oh
        Yeah
        Ohoh

        Life supporting waves of bliss
        Mother Divine's precious kiss
        Brings with love the light of wisdom

        Dusk time the shadows fall
        Into the timeless time of all

        Two waves and I both travel by

        Golden auras glow around you
        Omnipresent love surrounds you
        Wisdom warming as the sun
        You and I are truly one

        Two wavesand I both travel by
        And that makes all the difference to me
