“Business As Usual” - The Eagles
album: “Long Road Out of Eden” (2007)

Look at the weather, look at the news
Look at all the people in denial
We’re burning time, bleeding grace
Still we worship at the marketplace
While common sense is goin’ out of style
I thought that I would be above it all by now
In some country garden in the shade

But it’s business as usual
Day after day
Business as usual
Just grinding away
You try to be righteous
You try to do good
But business as usual
Turns your heart into wood

Monuments to arrogance reach for the sky
Our better nature’s buried in the rubble
We got the prettiest White House that money can buy
Sitting up there in that beltway bubble
When “el jefe” talks about our freedom
This is what he really means…

Business as usual
How dirty we play
Business as usual
Don’t you get in the way
Yeah, make you feel helpless
Make you feel like a clown
Business as usual
Is breakin’ me down

Boy, you can’t go surfing in Century City
Yeah, them sharks out there are lurking beneath the curb
Yeah, they rob you blind, chew you up, and it ain’t pretty
And it’s a soul suckin’, soul suckin’, soul suckin’, soul suckin’
Soul suckin’, soul suckin’ world

Business as usual
Day after day
Business as usual
Feel like walking away
A barrel of monkeys
Or band of renown
Business as usual
Is breakin’ me down
Breakin’ me down

“It’s Your World Now” - The Eagles
album: “Long Road Out of Eden”  (2007)

A perfect day, the sun is sinkin’ low
As evening falls, the gentle breezes blow
The time we shared went by so fast
Just like a dream, we knew it couldn’t last
But I’d do it all again
If I could, somehow
But I must be leavin’ soon
It’s your world now

It’s your world now
My race is run
I’m moving on
Like the setting sun
No sad goodbyes
No tears allowed
You’ll be alright
It’s your world now

Even when we are apart

You’ll always be in my heart
When dark clouds appear in the sky
Remember true love never dies

But first a kiss, one glass of wine
Just one more dance while there’s still time
My one last wish: someday, you’ll see
How hard I tried and how much you meant to me

It’s your world now
Use well the time
Be part of something good
Leave something good behind
The curtain falls
I take my bow
That’s how it’s meant to be
It’s your world now
It’s your world now
It’s your world now

“Center Of The Universe” - The Eagles
album: “Long Road Out of Eden”  (2007)

I come before you with my heart in my hand
Hoping you can see me through this veil of tears
Somehow I’ve got to make you understand
Ah, don’t you know me after all these years?

Oh, love, I hate to disappoint you
But there’s something you should know

This is not the center of the universe
That’s alright with me
This is not the center of the universe
But it’s where I wanna be

I will be with you everywhere you go
In gentle breezes that caress your skin
And you will see me in the silent snow
In everything that comes around again

Oh, love, I’ll always be beside you
Wherever you may roam
Someday, with all the stars to guide you
You will find your way back home

This is not the center of the universe
That’s alright with me
This is not the center of the universe

“I Love To Watch A Woman Dance” - The Eagles
album: “Long Road Out of Eden”  (2007)

I love to watch a woman dance
She bows her head and lifts her hands
Her hips begin to circle slowly
Her eyes have closed; her face is holy
She holds the whole world in trance
I love to watch a woman dance
Yeah, I love to watch a woman dance

She likes the slow songs of love lost
They take her a million miles away
‘Cause to dream, sometimes, is the only way
To go places you can’t get to any other way
Our eyes connect; she takes my hand
I love to watch a woman dance
Yeah, I love to watch a woman dance

I feel my heart beating, and I wonder
Will it ever satisfy my longing?
I’m gonna hold on to you for as long as I can
For who knows, this dance may be our only dance

So we danced together, close and slow
So slow we’re almost standing still
Her warm breath against my neck
Slowly breaking down my will
The room spins so I can barely stand
The song ends; then, she lets go of my hand
There’s so much I don’t understand
But I love to watch a woman dance
Yeah, I love to watch a woman dance

“Last Good Time In Town” - The Eagles
album: “Long Road Out of Eden”  (2007)

I like to go out every now and then
I can’t wait to do it again
But I haven’t had the time
Lately

I like to step out every once in a while
I kind of like to do it in style
I haven’t had the time
Lately

Lately I’ve been stayin’ at home
(Stayin’ at home, stayin’ at home)
Workin’ the crosswords, turn off the phone
(Turn off the phone, turn off the phone)

And I dream I’m on vacation
‘Cause I like the way that sounds
It’s a perfect occupation
For me
I don’t mind being by myself
If there’s no one else around
It’s the last good time in town

Well, I could stand up straight, get a real job
Stay up late with the same old mob
But it hasn’t crossed my mind
Lately

Put on a suit, work downtown

Then come up when the sun goes down
No, I haven’t had the time
Lately

Lately I’ve been stayin’ at home
(Stayin’ at home, stayin’ at home)
Closin’ the curtains, play jazz on trombone
(Jazz on trombone, jazz on trombone)

And I dream I’m on vacation
No, you won’t see me around
It’s a perfect situation
For me
I don’t mind being by myself
‘Cause I know you’ll come on down
It’s the last good time in town

Lately I’ve been stayin’ at home
(Stayin’ at home, stayin’ at home)
Workin’ the crosswords, turn off the phone
(Turn off the phone, turn off the phone)

And I dream I’m on vacation
‘Cause I like the way that sounds
It’s a perfect occupation
For me, yes it is
I don’t mind being by myself
If you don’t see me around
It’s the last good time, last good time in town
