01 Looking For Another Brandy (remaster) 3:30
Alternate edit from "The Roll Land Octave"

(I consider my biggest writing influence to be Canadian legend Nick Gilder, whose "endless hook" style of writing music writing really rubbed off on me growing up. I wrote this with his style in mind and even 'tried' to do an impression of his 90's voice on it. I thank him for letting me do that as a fan. If you remember the song "Hot Child in the City", we did not know "...who she is or what her name is...". This song gives her a name and continues that story from the lead male role's perspective.)

WHEN I WAS YOUNG
BRANDY WAS MY GIRL
SHE WAS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL
I'D EVER SEEN IN THE WORLD

WE STAYED UP ALL NIGHT SOMETIMES
TALKING 'BOUT NOTHIN' AT ALL
LAUGHIN' AND JOKIN' 'BOUT THE GOOD TIMES BABY
OH WE HAD IT ALL

SHE WAS MY WONDER
OH BUT I WAS IN DOUBT
SHE WAS MY ANSWER
BUT NOW IT'S TOO LATE
I HAD TO FIGURE IT OUT

WE TALKED ABOUT LOVE AND FOREVER
THOUGHT IT WOULD NEVER COME TO AN END
WE TALKED ABOUT US AND BEING TOGETHER
THOUGHT I WOULD ALWAYS BE HER MAN

SHE WAS MY FIRST, BUT NEVER MY LAST ONE
AND NOW IT'S MY ONE AND ONLY REGRET
SO I'M GONNA SPEND ALL OF THE REST OF MY LIFE
LOOKING FOR ANOTHER BRANDY

OH YEAH
SOMETHING SWEET TO EASE MY PAIN
REMEMBERING WHEN
WE TALKED ABOUT LOVE AND FOREVER
THOUGHT I WOULD ALWAYS BE HER MAN
SO I'M GONNA SPEND
ALL OF THE REST OF MY LIFE
LOOKING FOR ANOTHER BRANDY
OOOH YEAH, LOOKING FOR ANOTHER BRANDY
HEY I'M LOOKING FOR YOU, YOU YEAH
ANOTHER BRANDY, LOOKING FOR YOU
ANOTHER BRANDY.

02 Luv U2 (remaster) 2:27
Alternate edit from âNo Direction: Luv U2-The Big City Bob Songs Vol. 2â

BEDROOM TALK - SAME OLD SPEW
THAT I NEVER LISTEN TO YOU
YEAH, I LOVE YOU TOO

WHEN YOU LIE - IN THIS ROOM
MY SKIN - ON FIRE RESUMES
YEAH I LOVE YOU TOO

NOW HOW DO YOU FEEL WITH THE FLOOR FALLING DOWN?
HOW DO YOU FEEL WITH THE WALLS SPINNING ROUND?
HOW DO YOU FEEL NOW?

WE DON'T TALK - I'M A LEECH
I GET SO TIRED OF THIS SPEECH
JUST LET ME SLEEP

NOW HOW DO YOU FEEL WITH THE FLOOR FALLING DOWN?
HOW DO YOU FEEL WITH THE WALLS SPINNING ROUND?
HOW DO YOU FEEL NOW?
HOW DO YOU FEEL NOW?

03 Clear Blue Sky (remaster) 3:00
From âClear Blue Skyâ

ALL MY HOPE IS IN YOUR EYES
LIKE WATERFALLS UNDER CLEAR BLUE SKIES
HAZY DAYS BRING CLOUDS AT NIGHT
BUT ALL I WANT FOR YOU
IS A CLEAR BLUE SKY
IS A CLEAR BLUE SKY

ANGEL WINGS LAY IN THE SAND
BUT SLOWLY FORM BACK INTO LAND
IF THEY COULD FLY, THEY'D PICK US UP
AND CARRY US ALL ON THROUGH
TO A CLEAR BLUE SKY

CAN YOU TAKE ME THERE?
CAN YOU TAKE ME HOME?
TO MY CLEAR BLUE SKY.

04 Until I See You Again (remaster) 3:01
Alternate edit from âBobby Riversâ

OH I AIN'T GONNA SEE NO MORE SUNNY DAYS
WITH THESE CLOUDS IN MY EYES
AND FROM NOW ON EVERYTHING IN MY LIFE
IS GONNA LOOK SO DIFFERENT,
UNTIL I SEE YOU AGAIN

AND LEAVING FOR YOU IS SO EASY
YOU AIN'T TAKING NOTHING
BUT YOU SEE I'M GONNA BE CARRYING THIS HEAVY LOAD
ON DOWN THE ROAD OF MY SOUL NOW DARLING,
UNTIL I SEE YOU AGAIN

UNTIL I SEE YOU AGAIN
ALL THE OLD SONGS AIN'T GONNA SOUND THE SAME, NO
AND UNTIL I SEE YOU AGAIN
I'LL BE STANDING IN THE MIRROR
LOOKING AT SOMEONE TO BLAME
UNTIL I SEE YOU AGAIN

I'M GONNA BE RIGHT HERE LOOKING THE SAME
BUT LIVING MY LIFE OUT IN A DOWNPOURING RAIN
UNTIL I SEE YOU AGAIN
I'M GONNA STAY RIGHT HERE FROZEN IN TIME
LIVING IN THE MEMORY OF YOUR LOVE AND MINE
UNTIL I SEE YOU AGAIN

THERE'S NOT A SINGLE THING IN THIS LIFE
TO REPLACE THE EMPTY FEELING,
UNTIL I SEE YOU AGAIN
NO THERE'S NOT A SINGLE THING IN THIS LIFE
TO REPLACE THIS EMPTY FEELING,
UNTIL I SEE YOU AGAIN...

05 I Think Iâve Found Somebody To Love (remaster) 3:06
From âLove Collageâ

NOW IT BEGINS, I'M THAWIN' OUT NOW
I LIVE AGAIN, 'CUZ YOU PUT MEANING
BACK IN MY FROZEN LIFE
NOW I KNOW HOW GOOD LIFE CAN BE
SINCE YOU PICKED ME UP
AND TOOK ME OFF OF MY BLUE FEET
I'M REACHING OUT

I THINK I FOUND SOMEBODY TO LOVE
SHE'S GOING TO MAKE IT RIGHT
I THINK I FOUND SOMEBODY TO HOLD ME CLOSE
ALL THROUGH MY LIFE

YOU GAVE ME LOVE I'D NEVER KNOWN
AND YOU SAVED MY LIFE JUST IN TIME
BEFORE I DROWNED IN SORROW
NOW I KNOW HOW GOOD LIFE CAN BE
SINCE YOU PICKED ME UP
AND TOOK ME OFF OF MY BLUE FEET
I'M REACHING OUT
-CHORUS-

06 With A Vow (duet w/ Shirley Schleis) 1:51
Alternate unreleased version from âWith a Vowâ sessions

HOW OFTEN I THINK ABOUT YOU AND SMILE
I KNOW I'LL LOVE YOU MORE THAN JUST A WHILE
ALL I WANT TO BE IS PART OF YOU
PLEDGING YOU MY LOVE IS WHAT I WILL DO
WITH A VOW

MY LOVE GROWS STRONGER FOR YOU EVERYDAY
I'LL NEVER LET YOUR LOVE SLIP AWAY
ALL I WANT TO SEE IS ME WITH YOU
PLEDGING ALL MY LOVE IS WHAT I WILL DO
WITH A VOW

07 Lindy (remaster) 2:20
Alternate version from âWishbone (IV)â

LINDY IS GONE
TOO LATE TO SAY I'M SORRY
FOR ALL THE CRUEL THINGS
I JOINED RIGHT IN
AND LINDY HAD WAYS
COULDN'T HELP BEING DIFFERENT
COULDN'T SING IN KEY
BUT MEANT EVERY WORD

FOUR WHEELS COULDN'T STOP
AND LINDY DIDN'T SEE,
IN HER OWN SAFE WORLD
ALL THE TIME.

LINDY FELL DOWN
MORE THAN ONE SOLEMN FACE.
THE LESSON I LEARNED
STILL GUIDES ME IN SUBTLE WAYS.
KILLING WORDS NOW STOP
EVERY TIME I SEE, LINDY
SOMEHOW, COULD I THANK YOU?

08 Whenever You Come Around (remaster) 2:52
Alternate take from âBasement Daysâ

(Later became "The Apostle's Weakness")

I GET A FEELING WHENEVER YOU COME AROUND
IT SETS ME REELING LIKE THERE'S SOMETHING COMING DOWN
OH I'M A FIGHTER BUT I JUST CAN'T EVER WIN
YOU'RE THE LIGHTER BURNING ME WITHIN, BURNING ME WITHIN

GET A FEELING WHENEVER YOU COME AROUND
IT SETS ME REELING LIKE THERE'S SOMETHING COMING DOWN
SOMETHING'S COMING DOWN...

09 I Canât Even Stand Up âCuz My Beer Has Put A Spell On Me (remaster) 2:30
Alternate version from âOne More Songâ

I CAN'T EVEN STAND UP
'CUZ MY BEER HAS PUT A SPELL ON ME.
I CAN'T EVEN STAND UP,
AND THIS GIRL IS LOOKING PRETTY GOOD TO ME.
BUT I CAN'T EVEN STAND UP,
LAWD SHE'S ASKING ME TO COME AND DANCE,
BUT I CAN'T EVEN STAND UP.
AW, I BET YA SHE'D BE A GOOD ROMANCE

SHE WALKS OVER TO MY BAR STOOL
AND PUTS HER TATTOOED ARMS AROUND ME.
SHE WHISPERS IN MY EAR WITH HOT WHISKEY BREATH
AND I NOD MY HEAD. SHE WANTS TO TAKE ME
HOME AND FIX ME UP WITH LEATHER KISSES.
I THINK THIS CANNONBALL WANTS TO TAKE ME HOME TO BED!

BUT I CAN'T EVEN STAND UP!
'CUZ MY BEER HAS PUT A SPELL ON ME!
I CAN'T EVEN STAND UP!
AND THIS GIRL IS LOOKING PRETTY GOOD TO ME.
BUT I CAN'T EVEN STAND UP,
LAWD SHE'S ASKING ME TO COME AND DANCE,
BUT I CAN'T EVEN STAND UP.
AW, I BET YA SHE'D BE A GOOD ROMANCE

SO I OPEN UP MY MOUTH AND TRY TO TELL HER I'M HER LOVER.
BUT MY TONGUE IS STUCK ON THE ROOF,
YEAH AND I BET YA I'D A SAID IT COOL.
IF I COULD MOVE A MUSCLE,
I'D BE OVER THERE BESIDE HER.
OH I COULD BE BENDING OVER HER A SHOOTIN' POOL!

-chorus repeat-

SHE WALKS OVER TO MY BAR STOOL
AND PUTS HER TATTOOED ARMS AROUND ME.
SHE PICKES ME UP REAL ROUGH,
AND THEN SHE LOADS ME IN HER CHEV.
SHE'S DRIVING AWFUL CRAZY,
ORDINARILY I'D LIKE THAT,
BUT NOW THIS CANNONBALL HAS GOT ME IN HER BED!

BUT I CAN'T EVEN STAND UP!
'CUZ MY BEER HAS PUT A SPELL ON ME!
I CAN'T EVEN STAND UP!
AND THIS GIRL IS LOOKING PRETTY GOOD TO ME.
BUT I CAN'T EVEN STAND UP,
LAWD SHE'S ASKING ME TO COME AND DANCE,
BUT I CAN'T EVEN STAND UP.
AW, I BET YA SHE'D BE A GOOD ROMANCE
BUT I CAN'T EVEN STAND UP
OH 'CUZ MY BEER HAS PUT A SPELL ON ME
AND NOW I CAN'T EVEN STAND UP, OOH YEAH YEAH
AWWWW I CAN'T EVEN STAND UP....

WELL, I WAS BORN ON A FRIDAY, JULY THE 13TH.
I HAD A FULL HEAD OF HAIR AND MY TWO FRONT TEETH,
AND I CAME OUT SCREAMING AND A KICKING
LIKE A BULL RUNNING WILD.

WELL THE DOCTOR GRABBED ME AND I BIT HIS HAND.
I WAS JUST OFFENDED 'CUZ I KNEW I COULD STAND.
AND, WHEN THE NURSE SLAPPED MY BOTTOM, WELL,
I JUST TURNED AROUND AND I SMILED. :-)

WELL, MY DADDY CALLED ME BILL OR GEORGE,
'CUZ EITHER ONE WAS BETTER THAN THE ONE HE WORE,
AND HE DIDN'T WANT ME TO LIVE A LIFE OF SHAME.
BUT, THEY CALLED ME THE KID WITH THE DAD NAMED SUE,
AND I'D GET SO MAD THAT MY FACE WOULD TURN BLUE,
'CUZ I LOVED MY DAD, EVEN THOUGH HE HAD THAT AWFUL NAME.

SOME PEOPLE THOUGHT THAT HE WAS QUITE A JOKE,
AND, HE GOT A LOT OF LAUGHS FROM A LOT OF FOLK,
SEEMED HE HAD TO FIGHT HIS WHOLE LIFE THROUGH.
SOME GAL WOULD GIGGLE AND HE'D GET RED,
THEN SOME GUY'D LAUGH AND HE'D BUST HIS HEAD.
I TELL YA, LIFE WASN'T EASY FOR MY DAD NAMED SUE.

IN SCHOOL I THOUGHT I WAS A PRETTY GOOD KID.
OF COURSE, I WOUND UP IN TROUBLE FOR SOME THINGS I DID,
LIKE DRILLING PEEP HOLES
THROUGH THE OLDER GIRL'S SHOWER ROOM STALLS.

THEN THERE WAS THE TIME I SNAPPED
THE CHEERLEADER'S BRASSIERRE,
AND SHE SPUN AROUND AND CALLED ME A QU***,
THEN HER BOYFRIEND PUNCHED ME AND WE STARTED
THE CAFFETERIA ROOM BRAWL, AND THAT AIN'T ALL...

IN CCD, I COULDN'T MEMORIZE SONGS,
SO I MADE UP THE WORDS AS I WENT ALONG,
AND, I WASN'T MUCH BETTER AT REMEMBERING MY TABLE PRAYERS.
I'D SAY IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, SON, AND HOLY GHOST,
OH WELL, WHOEVER EATS THE FASTEST IS GONNA GET THE MOST,
SO PASS ME SOME POTATOES,
'CUZ I THINK THEY'RE GETTING COLD OVER THERE.

I MET MY WIFE AT A BROADWAY BAR.
SHE HAD TATTOOS, BIG HIPS, STRETCH MARKS AND SCARS.
SO I WALKED RIGHT UP TO HER AND SAID,
"WELL HONEY-DARLIN', HOW DO YOU DO?"

I TOLD HER MY NAME WAS BILL OR GEORGE
'CUZ EITHER ONE WAS BETTER THAN THE ONE BEFORE,
AND SHE SAID,
"OH WELL, WHATEVER, HOW ARE YA? MY NAME IS SUE!
BUT MY FRIENDS CALL ME SUEY."

MY DADDY, WELL, HE LIKED HER RIGHT AWAY.
SO, I TOOK HER OUT AND MARRIED HER THE VERY NEXT DAY,
AND IN TEN YEARS, WELL, WE HAD 17 BOYS.

AND, WE STILL HAVE FUN EVERY NOW AND THEN,
AND MY WIFE JUST TOLD ME THAT SHE'S EXPECTING AGAIN,
AND THAT IF WE HAVE ANOTHER SON............SHE SAYS
SHE'S GOING TO NAME HIM SUE!!!!!!!

11 Youâre The Reason (remaster) 2:47
From âThe Countrysideâ

IF YOU TURNED AROUND YOU'D FIND ME THERE
AND IF YOU TOOK THE TIME YOU'D SEE I CARE
MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE AND THE REASON

WHY I FEEL LIKE I DO
YOU'RE THE REASON WHY I FEEL LIKE I DO
YOU'RE THE REASON WHY

MAYBE YOU DON'T KNOW THAT I'M EVEN HERE
MAYBE YOU'LL FIND OUT THROUGH THE YEARS
AND IF LOVE NEVER FINDS US, YOU'LL BE THE REASON
-CHORUS-
I'D LOVE TO TAKE YOU HOME
AND I'D LOVE TO TURN YOU ON
BUT I'VE GOT A LIFETIME
OF LOVE FOR YOU BUT
I'M SITTING HERE HIDING IT AWAY
WAITING FOR YOU TO LOOK
AT THE REASON
-CHORUS-

12 Broken Promises (remaster) 3:33
From âAny Way You Areâ

I DIDN'T BELIEVE YOU WHEN YOU SAID, "I'M LEAVIN'"
I DIDN'T BELIEVE YOU WHEN YOU SAID, "GOODBYE."
I DIDN'T BELIEVE YOU WHEN YOU SAID, "IT'S OVER FOREVER,
AND THERE'S NO WAY YOU CAN CHANGE MY MIND."

WELL IF THERE WAS ONE THING I REALLY BELIEVED IN,
AND YET IT WAS THE ONE THING THAT I COULDN'T CHANGE.
IF THERE WAS ONE THING THAT I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER,
IT'S THE BROKEN PROMISES, ALL THE BROKEN PROMISES,
ALL THE BROKEN PROMISES THAT WE MADE.

I WANT TO BELIEVE YOU WHEN YOU SAY, "I MISS YOU."
I WANNA BELIEVE YOU WHEN YOU SAY, "I CARE."
I WANT TO BELIEVE YOU WHEN YOU SAY,
"I'M ALWAYS HERE FOR YOU."
BUT WHEN I WAKE UP, NOBODY'S THERE.
-chorus-

13 Since You Said Goodbye (remaster) 2:15
Alternate edit from âNo Limitsâ

I MUST ADMIT THAT I MISS YOU
EVEN THOUGH I TRY NOT TO
WOULD YOU PLEASE COME BACK TO ME
CUZ I NEED YOU, CAN'T YOU SEE?

AT NIGHT, ALL ALONE I'LL CRY
SINCE YOU SAID, SINCE YOU SAID GOODBYE

I'VE NEVER BEEN CONTROLLED LIKE THIS
I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT DAY IT IS
WOULD YOU PLEASE COME BACK TO ME
CUZ I NEED YOU, CAN'T YOU SEE?
-CHORUS-

From âCarry Onâ

YOU WERE ONE TO NEVER TAKE A CHANCE ON LOVE.
I WISH I COULD YOUR MIND. THEN I'D BE A LUCKY BUCK.

YOU'RE SUCH A HONKY TONK QUEEN,

YOU'LL BE A LUCKY DOE IF YOU
SUMMON A BUCK LIKE ME.

YOU'RE THE ONE TO NEVER TAKE A CHANCE ON LOVE.
I WISH I COULD YOUR MIND. THEN I'D BE THE LUCKY ONE.
