HISTORY NEVER REPEATS [Split Enz] 
Ed Vedder & Neil & Tim Finn live in New Zealand [25.3.93]

History never repeats 
I tell myself before I go to sleep... 
Don't say the words you might regret 
I lost before, you know I can't forget... 

There was a girl I used to know... 
Well, she dealt my love a savage blow... 
And I was so young, too blind to see... 
But anyway, that's history... 

And I say, history never repeats 
I tell myself before I go to sleep... 
And there's a light shining in the dark 
Leading me on towards a change of heart... 

You say I always play the fool... 
I can't go on if that's the rule... 
Better to jump than hesitate... 
I need a change and I can't wait... 

I say... 
History never repeats 
I tell myself before I go to sleep... 
And there's a light shining in the dark 
Leading me on towards a change of heart...heart... 

Never repeats...whoa... 

History never repeats 
History never re... 
Deep in the night it's all so clear... 
I lie awake with great ideas... 
Lurking about in no man's land... 
I think at last I understand... 

History never repeats 
I tell myself before I go to sleep... 
And there's a light shining in the dark 
Leading me on towards a change of heart... 

Yeah! 



SONIC REDUCER [Live]

Suonata dal vivo il 4 luglio New Orleans con Joey Ramone
I don't need anyone, don't need no mom and dad 
Don't need no good advice, don't need no human rights 
I got some news for you, don't even need you too 
I got my time machine, got my 'lectronic dream 
Sonic reducer, ain't no loser 
Sonic reducer, ain't no loser 
People out on the streets, they don't know who i am 
I watch them from my room, they are just passing by 
I'm not just anyone, he's not just anyone 
I got my time machine, got my little 'lectronic dream 
Sonic reducer, ain't no loser 
Sonic reducer, ain't no loser 
Sonic reducer, ain't no loser 
Sonic reducer, ain't no loser 
I'll be your pharoah soon, this one's a cotton tune 
Things will be different then, the sun will rise from here 
Then i'll be ten feet tall, then you'll be nothing at all 
I got my time machine, got my 'lectronic dream 
Sonic reducer, ain't no loser 
Sonic reducer, ain't no loser 
Sonic reducer, ain't no loser 
Sonic reducer, ain't no loser


SWALLOW MY PRIDE [Green River, Las Vegas]
Eseguita da Stone, Jeff, Little Stevie Turner, Magnificent Mark McLaughlin & Chuck Treece live a Las Vegas.

She looked at me with dignity, said... 
"There's something you got to see... 
If you know we're headed for war 
This country's prouder than ever before... 
Yes, there's a spirit in the air 
We're more American than anywhere..." 
Well I just smiled, 'cause I could tell 
This little girl's going to Hell... 

Now I wouldn't mind 
If you swallowed my pride 
Would make me feel alright 
Deep inside, feel alright... 

All the warmth in her heart 
Can't keep my blood from running cold 
Keep my blood from running cold 
First I fell for her looks 
Now I just wanna go for the throat 
I tried to tell her a hundred times 
This little girl didn't understand at all 
Pride comes before a fall... 

Now I wouldn't mind 
If you swallowed my pride 
Make me feel alright 
Deep inside, feel alright... 
Ohhh... 

This ain't the Garden of Eden 
This ain't the summer of love 
Things ain't what they used to be 
There ain't no angels above 
Whoa... 

Ain't the Garden of Eden 
Ain't no angels above 
Things ain't what they used to be 
This ain't the summer of love 




MY WAY [Frank Sinatra] 
[Eddie Vedder & Terry Presley, Las Vegas, Nevada, 30.11.93] 

And out isn't perfect 
My friends, I'll say it too 
Stay my case, of which I'm certain 
I've lived a life as full 
I've travelled each and every highway 
Oh, and more, as more gets... 
I did it my way 

Regrets, I've had a few 
But they're too few to mention 
I did what I had 
It's all through without exemption 
I play each charted course 
I've travelled each and every byway 
And more, much more than this... 
I did it my way... 

Well twice, I'm sure you knew 
When I bit off more than I could chew 
I knew it all, without a doubt 
I ate it up and I had to spit it out 
I passed it on, and I stood tall 
And I did it my way...
