Music – Sonar... And Yet So Far
~~Under The Boardwalk~~    

When the sun beats down
And burns the tar up on the roof
And your shoes get so hot
You wish your tired feet were fireproof

Under the boardwalk
Down by the sea, yeah
On a blanket with my baby
Is where I'll be

~~Sea Cruise~~    

Sittin' and a-singin' the blues
So be my guest, you got nothin' to lose
Won't ya let me take you on a sea cruise

Oo-ee, oo-ee, baby
Oo-ee, oo-ee, baby
Won't ya let me take you on a sea cruise

~~Smuggler's Blues~~    

Sailors and the pilots, soldiers and the law
Pay-offs and the rip-offs, the things nobody saw
No matter if it's heroin, cocaine, or hash
You gotta carry weapons 'cause you always carry cash
There's lots of shady characters, lots of dirty deals
Every name's an alias in case somebody squeals
It's the lure of easy money, it's got a very strong appeal

Perhaps you'd understand it better
Standin' in my shoes
It's the ultimate enticement
It's the smuggler's blues

Smuggler's blues

See it in the headlines, you hear it every day
They say they're gonna stop it, but it doesn't go away
They move it through Miami, sell it in L.A.
They hide it up in Telluride, I mean it's here to stay
It's propping up the governments in Columbia and Peru
You ask any DEA man, he'll say, "There's nothin' we can do"
From the office of the President, right on down to me and you,
Me and you

It's a losing proposition
But one you can't refuse
It's the politics of contraband
It's the smuggler's blues

Smuggler's blues
Smuggler's blues

1985 #12 hit by Glenn Frey

~~Better Be Good To Me~~    

Oh yes, I'm touched by this show of emotion
Should I be fractured by your lack of devotion
Should I, should I

You better be good to me
Thats how it's gotta be now
Cause I don't have no use
For what you loosely call the truth
You better be good to me

You better be good
Cause I don't have the time
For your overloaded lines
You better be good to me

You better be good
Cause I don't have the time...
