Lyrics from ENCORE!
Cherry Town
Words and Music by Jack Eadon
Summer's come in the city;
And the bricks a blaze of heat.
Multitudes of people
Rushing through the streets.
They all know that there's a better place
Where the cool wind blows.
And they call it Cherry Town.
Where the people comin' 'round
Movin' very slow
And certainly they know
That their town is the paradise
That the world longs to know.
And they call it Cherry Town.
Things are sound.
Cherry Town is the cloud
Where the people are looking 'round.
Trying to find the place where life is
Sound and high and happy free.
Yes, it's gonna be-
The cool wind blows,
The time is right,
Heat waves roll,
No need for fright.
Easy time is here, and gay.
There's no better cloud to stay than-
Cherry Town.
The days have come and gone
We 've been waiting very long
Is it right or is it wrong?
That Cherry Town is the paradise
That I will always know.
And they call it Cherry Town. Things are sound.
Cherry Town. On the round
Cherry Town. Happy high day, Cherry Town.
Is fond of me. Is fond of me. Is fond of me . . .
Love Which We Share Among
Us
Words and Music by Steve Yates
The day disappears for no one can see the sun.
The light from my window is believing the life begun
By you, you and me, then we will see the stars above.
And you will believe of the love which we share among us. Ah
hah.
The night comes from dusk
And the moon aware of you.
The sound is a reason
To be shown the things to do
By you, you and me, then we will see the stars above.
And you will believe of the love that we share among us.
Organ/Piano
By(And) you, you and me, then we will see the stars above.
And you will believe of the love which we share among us.

The Hunters
Words and music by Jack Eadon
--The Prelude
Introductory instrumental (Inspired by Lord of the Flies)
Kill the Wolf. Smash his head. Spill the blood. (chant)
The hunter. The hunter. The hunter. The hunter.
Hiding, eager for the kill-the hunter.
The shotgun's evil warmth declares the hunter.
Why must human animals disguise
The hate reflected in their evil eyes?
And now, you see them set to fire at will.
Oh, God! The hunter seeks to mame and kill
That's what he does. See him sanctify death.
Smash, mame and kill-that's what they do,
Smash, mame and kill-that's what they want,
Smash, mame and kill-that's what they are.
Smash, mame and kill-that's what they are.
Well, the hunters are the murderers who use their lives to kill
and mame.
It's all the same.
The wolf wanders innocently through the woods.
He spies the hunter. The hunter eyes him. A chase ensues.
After an all out run for his life the wolf flees from the hunter into the Golden Yellow
Meadow.
The hunter raises his gun, takes aim and kills the wolf.
The hunt has ceased. A wolf is dead.
The murderers have left the body lying there.
Their trophy claimed, they leave the blood
To fade away in the shadows of their guiltless crime.
The other wolves, standing six abreast,
Carry the corpse of their mother to eternal rest.
With loving hearts and saddened souls;
With anxiuous minds, they pray to the God who gave them life:
"Glorious Wolf, crusader of the virtues.
Why must you be the trophy of the murderers?
Life is love and death is hate.
So, why must hunters turn your life from love to death? Tell me why. Tell me why."
"Why mame or kill? That's what they do.
Mame or kill. Because they need.
Mame and kill. Because they want.
Mame and kill. Because they are.
Well, the hunters are the murderers who use their lives to kill and mame.
It's all the same.
Why? Why? Why? Why?
Why? Why? Why? Why?"
"We must revenge this death of that brother of ours.
We need to show him the love; the love in our hearts.
We want to share the truth that we are . . ."
(fade)
--In the Den
Hiding in the Den. waiting for the hunter.
Mother Prudence dead and gone away.
Pleaing for our lives to the God who made us happy.
"Selfish pride" just took our mum away.
"Save your life," father begs the children.
"Stay away from shot guns, spears and knives.
Your prudent mum, I think she died of poison
Although it sounded like a gun that took her life.
And he shoots and mames and poisons his prey."
"Never go alone to the Golden Yellow Meadow.
If you do your sure to lose your life.
And never take a drink from the dark and evil waters
If you do you're sure to lose your life."
"Guard you soul," father begs the children.
"That's the only thing the Hunter won't let you have.
Only eat berries and plants and keep your head up, child.
Or else the hunter's gonna take his gun and mow you down.
And he'll smash and mame and poison you dead!"
"Love 'im when he hates
'Cause that's the Golden Rulin'
Make it right where the hunter's made it wrong.
Revenge 'im with your heart
'Cause he needs our love and pity.
Show 'im life is love and death is wrong.
Revenge with love and not hate, baby."
Instrumental
We must revenge. We must revenge.
We must revenge. We must revenge.
Revenge with love and not hate, baby.
"Never go alone to the Golden Yellow Meadow.
If you do you, he's gonna shoot you dead.
And never take a drink from the dark and evil waters
If you try, they're sure to turn a bloody red.
Now, get yourself to bed
And remember what I'm sayin'.
Dream a dream of warnin', love and livin'.
And never go alone to the Golden Yellow Meadow.
If you do you're sure to lose your life.
If you do you're sure to lose your life.
If you do you're sure to lose your life . . ."
The young wolves drift off to sleep and dream:
Never go alone to the Golden Yellow Meadow. (repeat)
Or else you'll die.
I say, "you'll die and maybe even lose your soul."
--The Golden Yellow Meadow
Well, early the next mornin'
I say, we went awalkin' through the trees.
And my brother said, "There's the meadow
With all its pretty flowers and buzzin' bees."
I said, "Remember what father told us:
'Don't go out in that meadow alone.' "
But my brother said he'd make it
If he'd just hide his head and run.
But I said, "No, my foolish brother.
I see the hunter and his gun.
And he has a long-neck bottle:
'Spirits o' life'; I think he's gonna have some fun."
But my brother didn't listen
'Cause he had the courage of a fire.
He said, "No hunter's gonna run my life.
No hunter's gonna make me die."
I said, "That evil barrel scares me;
I'm afraid he's gonna shoot you dead."
But my brother Courage went a runnin'
And a-pantin' right into that meadow alone.
And although he kept his head low
The hunter and his sights, I think they brightly shone.
And a zing of hate and evil. BAM.
I say, my brother got it in the leg.
And he lay there cryin' loudly,
"Oh God! I can't believe it but it's true."
But the laughin' Hunter wasn't finished.
He emptied his bottle and left it aflame.
And my brother lay there dying and screamin' and burnin'.
Oh Lord! He's had it. He's dyin'. He's dead.
Narcissus
Words and Music by Eadon, Sievers, Yates, Hilkin
Introductory Chorus
Sitting by the pool of love.
Image of the gods above.
Scorning love is what he's done.
Righteous Anger chained him to the pool of love.
"Now I really know how they have suffered:
Burning with the love of my reflected soul.
Someone help me touch the mirrored loveliness
For I know only my own death can set me free."
Pining by the pool of love
Dying for the sin of scorning other's love.
Praying from a loving Goddess
Life is gone and death has come. Farewell. Farewell.
Chorus
Guitar/voice duet
Introductory Chorus
On the river 'round the world of death
Reaching for a final glimpse of loveliness
No one ever found his body.
All they ever found was a lovely flower.
Chorus
In this World
Words and music by Steve Yates
In this world of ours.
God help us along.
People and their worries:
They make strong demands.
Someone's got the feeling:
Take over and command.
In this world of ours
God make us strong.
People and their worries:
They make strong demands.
Someone's got the feeling:
Take over and command.
In this world of ours
God help us along.
Nothing to Fear
Words by Yates, Eadon, Dixon. Music by Steve Yates
Once there was a man
Who lived a long time ago.
He had so many problems
That he really didn't know
If he'd ever find an answer
To brighten up his day,
Or a guiding light to help him
Throw his troubles away.
So, he thought about the reasons
That his life had gone wrong.
And he found the strength within himself
To move his plan along.
It was the hope in his heart
That put the power in his mind
To break down the wall
And leave his troubles behind.
Everybody's got to find for himself
The hope that life gives,
That's the reason for living.
Life is happy when there's joy in your heart.,
'Cause with happiness near,
You'll have nothing to fear.
Guitar Duet
So, the man set out to tell his tale
To people 'cross the land.
He told them he should live their lives
According to his plan.
He put the hope in their hearts
That put the power in their minds
To break down the wall
And leave their troubles behind.
Chorus and fade
Excerpts from Uncle
Gilroy's Crazy Son
Words and music by Jack Eadon
Sing it louder, sing it stronger,
Sing it 'til your free.
Uncle Gilroy's Crazy Son:
He's gonna make it for you and me. (repeat)
instrumental
Love is the reflected image of hate.
Look into the mirror and tell me what you see.

Can't Find Love Alone
Words and Music by Jack Eadon
Gee, you're lookin' kinda lonely now;
See the tears in your eyes.
Gee, you're lookin' kinda lonely now.
But I cry out loud:
"Baby, I can't find love alone."
Gee I'm feelin' kinda lonely now
Since our love went away.
Gee I'm feelin' kinda lonely now,
But I cry out loud:
"Baby, I can't find love alone."
Guitar/Organ
Hey your lookin' kinda lovely now;
See the fun in your eyes.
Hey your lookin' kinda lovely now.
But I cry out loud, baby:
"I can find love alone.
You can't find love alone.
We can find love again."

Stanley's Visit to Kerkle
Morff
Words and music by Jack Eadon
Recorded on 10 tracks, "ping ponged"
with two Revox tape recorders and a Sony mixer onto 1/4" tape.
December 18-20, 1970
ACT I (at Stanley's home)
Stanley: Whoo!
Narrator: Stanley was a man Juran,
Who loved the sea.
Though never in his sixty years swam he.
He'd sit beneath his shady elm and watch the sky.
No one ever told him why
The birds would soar,
The clouds would cry.
No one told our Stanley how to fly.
Neighbors: Stanley, what are you looking for?
Stanley, will you find it a Kerkle Morff?
Narrator: Stanley took a big balloon and filled it up;
Colored stripes and polka dots drew he.
He made a wooden box and put it on with string.
A Stanley flag of pink and green-
That crazy red propeller thing-
Then he heard the neighbors start to sing: la la la.
Neighbors: Stanley, what are you looking for?
Stanley, will you find it at Kerkle Morff?
Narrator: Then he took his can of gasoline and poured it in,
Hoping that propeller thing would spin.
He pulled the switch to make it run and then it died.
The people laughed: "You'll never fly!"
Stanley wept: "Again I'll try."
He looked up at the clouds and then he cried.
Neighbors: Stanley, what are you looking for?
Stanley, will you find it at Kerkle Morff?
Stanley, what are you looking for?
Stanley, will you find it at Kerkle Morff? . . .
One neighbor: Try it again!
Flying Machine: %$^%$^$&^%^
Neighbors: Stanley, what are you looking for?
Stanley. will you find it at Kerkle Morff?
Stanley, what are you looking for?
Stanley. will you find it at Kerkle Morff?
Will you find it at Kerkle Morff? Will you find it at Kerkle Morff?
Stanley, in the Flying Machine, flies away into the sea of skies.
ACT II (in the sky)
Stanley: Saying good-bye to a life full of lies;
Now it's history and I'm free.
(Can't believe my eyes.)
Kissing the wind of a little boy's dream.
It's a fairy tale,
But you know I love to sail.
Birds, clouds, etc.: Fly, Stanley. Fly. Fly, Stanley. Fly.
Fly, Stanley, softly fly away. Hey. Hey. Hey.
Stanley: Making my way seven nights and a day through the sea of skies.
(I can't believe my eyes!)
There through the clouds, far away from the crowds
It's a Paradise "Found" (sic):
Oh, my little Kerkle Morff town.
Birds, clouds, etc.: Fly, Stanley. Fly. Fly, Stanley. Fly.
Fly, Stanley, softly fly away. Softly fly away. Softly fly away.
Stanley lands at Kerkle Morff with a thud, breaking his flying machine.
Surprised at the sudden intrusion, the king's royal procession greets him
and is in awe of his flying machine.
ACT III (in Kerkle Morff)
King John: Welcome to Kerkle Morff. I am King John. I say hello.
This is my royal ripe valet; his name John Braun; he is strange.
May I ask who you are? Did you come from afar?
And what is this thing of yours?
It seems to me that it flies,
Pulling tricks on my eyes.
What is it and who are you?
Stanley: I am Stanley and I come from world beyond the sea of skies.
Yes, this is a flying machine and I hope you believe your eyes.
King John: Stanley glad you arrived.
In fact I'm glad you're alive.
You can build me a flying machine.
A royal grant you shall have
And I'll bet that you're glad that you found your way to me Through the sky of seas.
Stanley: I would like to build your flying machine but I need big balloon.
If I had a big balloon, then flying machine would go to moon.
Thank you for the royal commission; it honors me and flying machine.
But like I say I need a big balloon and you will fly away!
King John: Stanley, glad that you asked.
The problem will come to pass (with cool If you listen to me.
calculation) Since you're planning to stay, I think I might find a way By using your
balloon!!
Stanley: Yes, that is a good idea, and now you have your big balloon.
I will build your flying machine and surely you will sail away soon.
Bring me all your wood and string;
and hammers, nails, and cutting things.
Bring me cloth to make your flag and then I'll make propeller ring.
Then your flying machine will sing. Then you'll hear your people sing!
Then your flying machine will ring. Build it!
Stanley makes the Official King John flying machine.
King John: Stanley, glad that it's done.
And I can see that it runs; now I have my way away.
So, with thanks from the throng,
My golden crown shall belong
To the king of Kerkle Morff;
To the new king of Kerkle Morff.
Stanley: I would like to thank you for the opportunity to serve.
I will wear your crown forever; a crown I hope I do deserve.
When you're sailing far away to find the life that makes you smile.
Send my love to good ol' Elm tree; tell her that I'm doing fine;
Tell her 'bout this land of mine; tell her she can come in time . . .
King John, his strange valet John Braun and the court fly away into the
golden sunset as Stanley, that is King Stanley,
bids them a farewell from atop the royal mountain.
Birds, clouds, etc.: Stanley waved good bye.
Stanley waved good bye.
Stanley waved good bye.

Stanley, will you find it at Kerkle Morff?

Paper Bus
Words and Music by Steve Yates
I wake up in the morning smelling flowers.
The melted sky is dying 'bove my bed.
The dorrbell rings. The maid screams, "Let the doctor in;
He's gonna fix your dreams it'll be all right."
Look now there's a paper bus
That will carry us to promised land.
Mystic land where seas so fine.
Sure can change your mind.
The passing of the day can take forever.
The crying clock saves time for us to die.
The children laughing at the burning playground.
And somewhere there's an answer to be found.
Look now there's a paper bus
That will carry us to promised land.
Mystic land where seas so fine
Sure can change your mind.
(Repeat)

Frozen Faces
Words and Music by Steve Yates
Get outa my life. I won't use you no more.
I cried when life left hope awaiting at my door.
Get outa my life. I won't need you no more.
I cried when life left hope awaiting at my door.
I'm livin' my life in a world of frozen faces.
I don't need ya. I won't need you forever.
You've made my dreams into something I can't bear.
You bent my life and risked my future; it was so dear.
I just can't live in a world of frozen faces.
I can't give up. I won't want you forever.
I never could conceive that you would believe
That my life would be broken without you.
I never ever could conceive that you would believe
That my life would be broken without you.
My life would be broken without you.
Get outa my life. I can't use you again.
I'll fight and fight 'til some day I'll be free from your claim.
I won't live my life in a world of frozen faces.
I don't need ya now. I won't use you forever.

Come with Me
Words and Music by Jack Eadon
Lead Guitar by Steve
"Al" Yates
July was kickin' up a breeze
As we walked and we talked with the leaves.
And when we sat we didn't know,
That the sparrows and squirrels
Had us picked for their show.
And we loved it.
As we danced through the park
To the wonder of a new and special love.
September's crispy mountain air
Caressed all the night that we shared.
The crackin' fire let us know
That the moon and the stars,
They had us picked for their show.
And we loved it
As we dreamed through the night
'Bout the wonder of a growing special love.
So, come with me.
We will see.
The truth; our living fantasy.
I'll never ever let you go.
I'll always try to let you know
That I love you.
(repeat)
Guitar
Never ever ever let you go.
Always try to always let you know. Ooo.
December hugs the window pane
While the snow takes the place of the rain.
We hold each other by the fire
As the snowflakes outside are flying higher and higher.
And we love it.
So, let's drift through the day.
It's the wonder of a very special love.
So, come with me.
We will see.
The truth: our living fantasy.
I'll never ever let you go.
I'll always try to let you know
That I love you.
And, come with me.
Sing with me.
We'll live our special melody.
I'll never ever let you go.
I'll always try to let you know
That I love you.
