THE SOUNDS
The sounds are in my head, I can't hear what is said
The sounds are all around, from the sky - from the ground
All I want is just to live, I have everything to give
But the sounds are on my mind, and the answer I can't find

Rhythm of rain, haunts my brain
Mowing of lawns, hooting horns
There's no silence I can find, to give me time to rest my mind

The sounds are in my head, I can't hear what is said
The sounds are all around, from the sky - from the ground
All I want is just to live, I have everything to give
But the sounds are on my mind, and the answer I can't find

The sounds, the sounds, the sounds, the sounds!
Baby the sounds, sounds on my mind, oh!
Mowing of lawns, hooting horns!
Telephone bell, the sounds of hell!
Trains and planes, rushin' and pushin'
Hustle and bustle, Sounds ! Sounds!
Babe, the sounds, the sounds, the sounds - sounds, sounds, sounds !Don't let the sounds in...telephone ringing...Stop!

ROCK YOUR MAMA
(Ver letra en "Undead (1968)")

HOLD ME TIGHT
Well love me baby, love for us all go down
Well love me baby, love for us all go down
Well want me love ya, goin' out of town

I said hold me baby, hold me good and tight
I said hold me baby, hold me good and tight
Well feel it now, tomorrow I'll be out of sight

Well kiss me baby good, and kiss me long - alright
Well kiss me baby, kiss me, kiss me long
Well love ya now, 'cause tomorrow I'll be gone

Hang-on.....hang on baby close, and hang on tight
Hang on baby close, and feel alright
Well hang on now, 'cause tomorrow I'll be out of sight

Oh baby...oh-ho, yeah...oooo-whooo-who-who!...
Ooooo-who baby... Come-on now!

Said love me baby, long-yeah, love me long
Gonna love ya baby, lovin', love ya long
Gonna love ya girl, 'cause tomorrow I'll be gone
How-how, how, how-How, Ooow!

STANDING AT THE CROSSROADS
(Nota: Esta letra es la que oficialmente se da como buena cuyo autor es Elmore James, pero escuchando el disco no se corresponde en absoluto. La que se oye es una versión del "Crossroads" de Robert Johnson)
(Ver letra en "Undead (1968)")

PORTABLE PEOPLE
See them at the airport with their cases in their hand
Got a ten day package in another land
They're the jet age gypsies with a super-sonic sound
They're the portable people, and they take themselves around

Portable people, flyin' in the air
Portable people, goin' everywhere
Por....ta....ble - Peo....ple!

See them at the window with a panoramic view
It's the only time they've noticed that the sky is colored blue
One will have a cloak and a pair of wooden clogs
He liked the avocado, but he didn't like the vase

Portable people, flyin' in the air
Portable people, goin' everywhere
Por....ta....ble - Peo....ple!

BOOGIE ON
I got home too late last night,
I wasn't feelin' too groovy
I went and done a terrible thing,
I forgot to boogie - huh!
I should've got it on,
get off on the blues
I'll show you how it goes,
I want you all to boogie!

All - right!
Boogie alright, boogie alright, boogie alright baby
Boogie all night baby, boogie all night baby
Boogie all night baby
