Created for the People reunion concert in Salem in 2006, where Larry, Gene Mason and Denny Fridkin performed together, this compilation does not feature any 'new' recordings. It was however the first time Crying Shoes and The Epic had been released by Larry himself. There was a Volume 2 also.

High, riding high
On a trip in a ship through the sky
I keep looking through the cloud
Everything seems fine
Everything I'll ever want is mine
Riding high
Riding high
On a trip in a ship through the sky
I keep reaching through the mist
Melting fire with snow
Watching changes in the world below
Bap ba ba ba bap ba ba ba bap ba bap ba
Ba ba ba bap ba ba ba bap ba ba ba bap bap
I keep looking through the cloud
Everything seems fine
Everything I'll ever want is mine
High, riding high [x4]

organ grinder
[Go to Song Page]
Do you hear the music baby
It’s all around
Do you feel the rhythm baby
It goes up and down
Do you see the organ grinder
He’s a grinding man
He’s got a beautiful box full of music
In his hand
When I’m with the organ grinder
He gets me going
Ahh he moves me baby
From a-head to soul
And then I get a deep pulsation
In my heart
I can’t stop moving baby
A-once I start wa-ah-ah
Wow right
Do you hear the music baby
It’s all around
Do you feel the rhythm baby
It goes a-up and down
Keep your eye on the organ grinder

hasty heart
[Go to Song Page]
Darling please forgive my hasty heart
If I seem a bit too hasty please forgive me
But I'm just afraid I'll lose you if I'm slow
And I can't afford to wait until you want me
'Cause I need you just too much to let you go
All I ask is that you try to understand me
I'm confused now and I need a little time
I'm so afraid that if I somehow get hurt inside
I'll end upside down outside my mind
Darling please forgive my hasty heart
If I only knew a way that I could reach you
I would let out every fear I've kept inside
I'm afraid that if I'm forced to live without you
I'll end upside down outside my mind
If I seem a bit too hasty please forgive me
But I'm just afraid I'll lose you if I'm slow
And I can't afford to wait until you want me
'Cause I need you just too much to let you go
Darling please forgive my hasty heart
Darling please forgive my hasty heart
If I seem a bit too hasty please forgive me

All I ask is that you try to understand me

I've got you on my mind

I've got you on my mind
And I still love you
I thought the time was right
And so I said goodbye
Now that you’re gone I find
That I still love you
I've got you on my mind

And I still love you
Don't wanna go

But now I know

Despite how hard I tried
To get you off my mind
Your memory’s locked inside

somebody tell me my name
[Go to Song Page]
As I wander through this city
In a nameless town I walk
Now I've got this empty feeling
Names on sidewalks scribed in chalk
But powdered people cannot talk
Can this be a city's tombstone
Broken neon signs that say
Happy days are here forever
I think I'm in a play
So let me think about today
What will become of me now that I'm here
When will the crowd give a cheer
Have you got the time of day
It doesn't bother me
The time I've got could fill a day
In one eternity
It seems so strange it doesn't change
There's no one here but me
I wouldn't like to take a chance
In real reality
So long ago the city roared
It filled me inside out
Today I find an empty peace
I shatter with my shout
Look into windows where people have been
No one expected to win
Climbing stairs to reach the ending
Of a life that's been a sham
Why should I be left to wander
City won't you take this man
No one left to lend a hand
Everything happens when nothing's the same
Somebody tell me my name
Somebody tell me my name [x8]
As I wander through this city
In a nameless town I walk
Now I've got this empty feeling
Names on sidewalks scribed in chalk

Broken neon signs that say

I think I'm in a play
So let me think about today
What will become of me now that I'm here

Make your distinctive statements good friends
Print all my features then print them again
All who find time to look through their hair
See only collages of me standing there
Ooh ooh
I’ve stopped short of reading my name on the wall
The name I was given is not mine at all
Run from your corners and smack into walls
Your one point of view just has no view at all
Stand up and brag to your neighbour, I’m free
But what does it matter, they’re deaf and can’t see
Ooh ooh oh woh
Make your distinctive statement good friends
Print all my features then print them again ooh woh
Signs on theatres invite you to see (Ah ah ah ah)
A colourless movie that’s featuring me (Ah ah ah ah)
Ha
La la la la la la la

she's a dancer
[Go to Song Page]
She’s a dancer in the garden
And she dances with the flowers
In the early morning hours
When the wind shifts
And the fog lifts
She’s a dancer
She’s a dancer and she knows it
Everywhere she goes she shows it
Condescending
Not pretending
No regretting
Nor forgetting
She’s a dancer
And on my early morning walks I often find her
I sit pretending that I’m looking at the paper
Oh oh
And on my early morning walks I often find her
I sit pretending that I’m looking at the paper
Oh oh
She’s a dancer in the garden
And she dances with the flowers
In the early morning hours
When the wind shifts

She’s a dancer
She’s a dancer and she knows it
Everywhere she goes she shows it
Condescending

And on my early morning walks I often find her

crying shoes
[Go to Song Page]
Little girl got your crying shoes on
Done left them in the rain
Don’t put ‘em on for the sunny day blues
Will only bring you pain
But if you need some crying done
Oh won’t you cry just for anyone
Just take them shoes and bring ‘em on home to me
Take them shoes and bring ‘em on home to me
Laughing in the morning ‘fore the sun comes up
Won’t take the shine away
Smile at the sun on a crying day
The shoes won’t wanna stay
But if you need some crying done
Oh won’t you cry just for anyone
Just take them shoes and bring ‘em on home to me
Yeah
Take them shoes and bring ‘em on home to me
Crying shoes, laced up with the blues
Crying shoes, chasing after you
Crying shoes
Crying shoes
Bring ‘em on home to you
Little girl got your crying shoes on
Done left them in the rain
Don’t put ‘em on for the sunny day blues
Will only bring you pain
But if you need some crying done
Oh won’t you cry just for anyone
Take them shoes and bring ‘em on home to me [x4]
Little girl got your crying shoes on
Done left them in the rain
Don’t put ‘em on for the sunny day blues
Will only bring you pain
But if you need some crying done
Oh won’t you cry just for anyone
Just take them shoes and bring ‘em on home to me
Take them shoes and bring ‘em on home to me
Laughing in the morning ‘fore the sun comes up
Won’t take the shine away
Smile at the sun on a crying day
The shoes won’t wanna stay
But if you need some crying done
Oh won’t you cry just for anyone
Just take them shoes and bring ‘em on home to me
Yeah
Take them shoes and bring ‘em on home to me

Crying shoes, chasing after you
Crying shoes
Crying shoes
Bring ‘em on home to you

the epic
[Go to Song Page]
High on a hill
In Canthian Green
Born to the throne of a
Bolingsworth queen
Alain duc L’Anglais
Heir to the king
And all of the land
In Canthian Green
[First two verses are sung and spoken in unison]
La la la la la
La la la la la-ah
And on the night of that
Bolingsworth day
Deep in the woods
Through Rivington Glade
The woodcutter Charles
And Kristin his maid
Gave life to the girl child
Tory Kincaid
La la la la la
La la la la la-ah
Children of fate
Caught in a dream
Under the stars
Of Canthian Green
Alain duc L’Anglais
Son of a king
Bravest of all in
Canthian Green
One of his princely pleasures are
Riding his horse both near and far
Out in the early morn’ he goes
In his gounting clothes
Rides through the woods with the speed of wind
Stops for a drink in a shady glen
Then takes note of a lovely maid
Bathing in the shade
Hides among the watercress
Staring at her lovely breasts
Wonders if he’s in a dream
She’s the most beautiful maid I've ever seen
Tory ah
I must tell her my name
And must ask her the same
We will talk and in time
She’ll decide to be mine
[Says something in a foreign language]
We will talk and in time
She’ll decide to be mine
[More foreign speech]
Courting maidens is my pleasure
Lovely ladies at my leisure
Tory is no easy treasure
When I’m with her nights in flower
Reasons not have I to doubt her
But I lock her in the tower
Throw away the key
You can’t go running all over the country
There’s perilous dangers
Mysterious strangers
And fire breathing dragons
Dragons, dragons
I’m going hunting in the country
After something
In the country
And when I’m hunting in the country
There’s just one thing
I must do
Ah ah ah
Oh [Very faintly]
One, two, three [Spoken]
Just come back, I killed the dragon
Fixed his wagon good
And his fire’s gone out
And he’s dead no doubt
You were always in my dreams
And on my mind
Though afraid l’d die
It’s so good to see
You’ve come back again
Uh back again to me
You were always in my dreams
And on my mind
Though afraid l’d die
It’s so good, oh so good to see, yeah
You’ve come back again, man, back again to me
Oh mamma
It’s so good to see
You’ve come back to me
You’ve come back again
Back again to me
