"Pure Sin"
(feat. Tim Curry)

   
(Carly Simon/Frank Carillo)

I can barely see your sneakers
You say I got to keep my head down
You're painting my portrait
In a red velvet gown

How do you see me
As demure and discreet?
But do you know what I'll do
Do you know what I'll do
When I go out on the street?

Pure sin, pure sin
The kind you won't mind
The kind there could be trouble in

I can barely see your sneakers
You know they look pretty rough
Well I bet when you get loaded
You can get pretty tough

you pass me the caviar
Say "Hey baby do you want something to eat?"
But do you know what I'll do
Do you know what I'll do
When I go out on the street?

Pure sin, pure sin
The kind you won't mind
The kind there could be trouble in

I can barely see your sneakers
You're dripping paint all over the place
Why not get right to the point
And splash it right on my face!

How do you see me?
As silly and sweet?
But do you know what I'll do
When I go out on the street.

Pure sin, pure sin
The kind you won't mind
The kind there could be trouble in

"Love You By Heart"
(feat. James Taylor)

   
(Carly Simon/Libby Titus/Jacob Brackman)

The lies that you tell will leave you alone
They'll keep you down,
they'll catch you and trip you up
Keep you hangin' around

The habit is old - you don't need it anymore
Go on and kiss it goodbye
'Cause you got me, and I can see
Who you really are
I want to show you my heart
I want to know you by heart
And love you by heart

I'm right here beside you
there's nobody else to set you straight
To shake you, to let you know
That it's still not too late -
I want to show you my heart
I want to know you by heart
And love you by heart

Don't make up stories,
I know you by your eyes
I think I know what's inside

The streets you've been on
Will leave you out in the cold
But you know I care,
And years from now
We'll both look down from the top of the stairs -
Here I've shown you my heart
I want to know you by heart
And love you by heart

"Spy"
(feat. James Taylor)

   
(Carly Simon/James Taylor/Arif Mardin)

Got my eye on you, nothing's slipping by
Watching everything you do, like a Spy
I come here everynight, I'm like a firefly
Moving through the strobe lights, like a Spy

[Chorus]

I know your shadow hides, just what I need
There's something there inside, I want to see
I've got to take the lead, undercover lover
I'm so intrigued by you

Been wearing my disguise, for too long a time
Tonight I'm movin' in, like a Spy

[Chorus]

I know your shadow hides, just what I need
There's something there inside, I want to see
I've got to take the lead, undercover lover
I'm so intrigued by you

You have your reputation in this town
For dressing up and letting people down
Until I find out for myself, I'll follow you around

You were flying high the night we met
I was just another stranger in your bed
But I remember showing you, one thing you won't forget

So here's a little note for you, it says: "Please reply
I'm the girl with the blue tattoo of you (It's a bunny), I'm the Spy"

[Chorus]

I know your shadow hides, just what I need
There's something there inside, I want to see
I've got to take the lead, Undercover lover
I'm so intrigued by you

"Memorial Day"

   
(Carly Simon)

It should have been so soft, this morning as we left
But the valley was infected, by a different kind of beauty
And the Indians they knew, it was a devil's sanctuary.

Out of this unholy dawn, a car came stirring up the sand
And a woman from a passion play
Held up the limousine that brought me
All this way today. And I didn't need to turn around
So strong was the message, and the man who planned her life
Commanded all that followed: Well they bellowed, and they hollered
And they threw each other down, down in this valley
This cruel and lovely valley, Oh it should have been an alley
In some low down part of town

As the lights came up, there was no sun
And brandy splattered all over the ground
As this woman with her head held high
Yelled love and why oh why, you're killing me oh follow me-
As I watched safe and clean, from the frosted windows of that limousine

Well they bellowed and they hollered, and they threw each other down
Down in this valley, this cruel and lovely valley
Oh it sould have been an alley, in some low down part of town

Before he'd been so funny, imagining the best:
That he'd escaper recrimination, for abandoning the nest
He'd been joking and stoned, while he was entertaining me
But then turned and was stunned, by her panic and her misery

And I was in the get-away car
Giving him a chance, to get away
Get away, get away

And how the valley smoked, as he crossed Route 25
With his cymbals and his shattered crown, leaving all alone
His eyes fixed on the ground. And he didn't even turn around
So strong was the message, and he fell into the shallow sky
And was swallowed.
Well they bellowed and they hollered, and they threw each other down
Down in this valley, this cruel and lovely valley
Well it should have been an alley, In some low down part of town

"Come Upstairs"

   
(Carly Simon/Mike Mainieri)

Sitting in a car here
After a party where we've seen
Everyone we've known for years
Well I've known you for years
Oh but now it's all changed
And all of my feelings
Have been rearanged

[Chorus:]
Come upstairs
We'll be all alone
Come upstairs
No one will know
Come upstairs
We can take of the phone
Come upstairs
You can take of my clothes

Say that it feels good
Maybe too good to say that it feels like a dream
You want to knock on some wood
Well I'll give you some wood
And I'll give you some fire
I'll give you myself
And I will show you my desire

Come upstairs
We'll have a few laughs
Come upstairs
We'll take a bath
Come upstairs
It's only one flight
Come upstairs
You can stay overnight

I'll give you some wood
Yeah, I'll give you some fire
I'll give you myself
And I will show you my desire

[Chorus]

"Stardust"
(feat. James Taylor)

   
(Carly Simon/Mike Mainieri)

Golden rock'n'roll man
Breaking all of the records and rules
Sold out in an hour
The stage is your own bedroom

I have your poster close to my bed
Earphones glued to my head
But I'd rather have you in my arms instead
And I'd be better than I was before
If only I had you
If only I had
If only I had
If only I had your
Stardust
Your glamour is golden
Stardust
I'd feel so important
Stardust
If only I knew you
Stardust
I want to be near you
Stardust

There I got to meet you
And your gold glitter fell all over me
Then I shook your hand
Took some of your lustre
I told my friends that you were just a man
Real nice, not tough
None of that phony star stuff
And I'm better than I was before
Because I have you
Because I have
Because I have
Because I have your
Stardust
Your glamour is golden
Stardust
I feel so important
Stardust
Now that I'm holding you
Stardust
Now that I know you
Stardust

"Them"
(feat. Alex, Hugh and James Taylor)

   
(Carly Simon/Mike Mainieri)

What shall we do about them
When they move into your neighbourhood
They take over but good
They want you all body and soul
Then it's just your body
Then they go
What shall we do about them

[Chorus:]
What do they want
What shall we do about them
What do they want
What shall we do about them
What do they want

One of them asked me to dine
Then he ate me all up
Got full then he blew me up
I got big and round and lovable
He saw I was immovable
He got bored, went to war
I got one baby, he's giving me more
Once I swore I'd never give myself up

[Chorus]

I know that them we are not
I have loved them alot
And I have loved alot of them
You could say that I am experienced
Enough to know that they are aliens
Do you keep them away, beg them to stay
Say it's O.K., do it their way
I used to say I'd never give myself up

[Chorus]

"Jesse"
(feat. Sally, Alex, Hugh and James Taylor)

   
(Carly Simon/Mike Mainieri)

Oh mother, say a prayer for me
Jesse's back in town, it won't be easy
Don't let him near me
Don't let him touch me
Don't let him please me

[Chorus:]
Jesse, I won't cut fresh flowers for you
Jesse, I won't make the wine cold for you
Jesse, I won't change the sheets for you
I won't put on cologne
I won't sit by the phone for you

Annie, keep reminding me
That he cut out my heart like a paper doll
Sally, tell me once again
How he set me up just to see me fall

[Chorus]

Jesse, quick come here
I won't tell a soul
Not even myself
Jesse, that you've come back to me
My friends will all say "She's gone again'
But how can anyone know what you are to me
That I'm in heave again because you've come back to me - Oh Jessie!

Jesse, I'll always cut fresh flowers for you
Jesse, I'll always make the wine cold for you
Jesse, I can easily change my mind about you
And put on cologne
And sit by the phone for you

Jesse, let's open the wine
And drink to the heart
Which has a will of it's own
My friends, let's comfort them
They're feeling bad
They think I've sunk so low

Jesse, I'll always cut fresh flowers for you
Jesse, I'll always make the wine cold for you
Jesse, I will change the sheets for you
Put on cologne
And I will wait by the phone for you - Oh Jesse!

"James"

   
(Carly Simon/Mike Mainieri)

James,
Your voice is like the water
When I lift this shell to my ear
I can hear you pourin' out your heart to me
James,
The beauty of your voice
Lifts us from sadness
James,
Let us become like water together
Sing to me
Sit on the edge of my bed as when we
First spent nights together
Your body wrapped around your guitar
Let the music speak for your heart
Let them combine like water and sand
Let them meet the air like drops of rain
And bring us together, once again

"In Pain"

   
(Carly Simon/Don Grolnick/Mike Mainieri)

This gray sky
Is good for cryin'
These November gray woods
Open to the fields
I came out here
In the cold
For my poor heart
Has turned to frost

I don't understand
What you just told me
What is all this about
About just being friends
It's a lousy lie
And a far cry
From what goes on
Between you and me

Pain, in pain
I'm in pain

You held me close to you
I didn't tell you what to do
We were burnin', burnin'
Burnin', burnin'
You made love to me
We were cryin', we were flyin'
We were dyin' in these fields
We'd come out here in the soft nights
I was sunburned under you

Pain, in pain
I'm in pain

So you want me to say
Do you want me to say, you want me to say
Say that I don't love you
Do you want me to smile, try, lie
And look away
How far away all the stars seem
And that gypsy moon
Cries, "You're a fool"
