"The song Stephanie, well that was really just an instrumental piece that didn't have a title, and, uh, Stevie said what don't you name that Stephanie, and I said, OK, and that's what it was."

 

 

 

"Lola (My Love)"

written by Lindsey Buckingham

copyright 1973 Buckingham Nicks Music\Donna Marts Music

Lola my love

She knows how to treat her man

Lola my love

She does everything a woman can

And when I come home, one thing on my mind

She knows just what I'm looking for

And in the morning after I say "Lola you sure can love"

Ooh yeah

Lola

Lola

Lo lo Lola

 

 

"Frozen Love"

written by Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks

copyright 1973 Buckingham Nicks Music\Donna Marts Music

[available on Buckingham Nicks]

You may not be as strong as me

And I may not care to teach you

It may be hard to keep up with me

I'll always be able to reach you

And if you go forward (if you go forward)

I'll meet you there

And if you climb up through the cold freezing air

Look down below you

Search out above

And cry out to life for a frozen love

Cry love

Life gave me you; the change was made

There's no beginning over

You are not happy but what is love?

Hate gave you me for a love

And if you go forward (if you go forward)

I'll meet you there

And if you climb up through the cold freezing air

Look down below you

Search out above

And cry out to life for a frozen love

Cry love

 

"Never Going Back Again"

written by Lindsey Buckingham

copyright 1977 Gentoo Music\Now Sounds Music

[available on Rumours]

Yeah this is a song that I probably will always like because…it was a song…that I wrote at a time when I was beginning to appreciate that I could make myself happier.

She broke down and let me in

Made me see where I've been

Been down one time

Been down two times

I'm never going back again

You don't know what it means to win

Come down and see me again

Been down one time

Been down two times

I'm never going back again

 

"The Chain"

lyrics by Stevie Nicks

music by Lindsey Buckingham, Mick Fleetwood, Christine McVie, John McVie, Stevie Nicks

copyright 1977 Welsh Witch Music\Now Sounds Music\Gentoo Music

[available on Rumours]

Listen to the wind blow

Watch the sun rise

Run in the shadows

Damn your love damn your lies

And if you don't love me now

You will never love me again

I can still hear you saying

You would never break the chain

And if you don't love me now

You will never love me again

I can still here you saying

You would never break the chain

Listen to the wind blow

Down comes the night

Run in the shadows

Damn your love damn your lies

And if you don't love me now

You will never love me again

I can still hear you saying

You would never break the chain

And if you don't love me now

You will never love me again

I can still here you saying

You would never break the chain

Chains keep us together

Running in the shadows

Chains keep us together

Running in the shadows

Chains keep us together

 

"Second Hand News"

written by Lindsey Buckingham

copyright 1977 Now Sounds Music\Gentoo Music

[available on Rumours]

I know there's nothing to say

Someone has taken my place

When times go bad

When times get rough

Won't you lay me down in the tall grass and let me do my stuff

I know I've got nothing on you

I know there's nothing to do

When times go bad

You can't get enough

Won't you lay me down in the tall grass and let me do my stuff

One thing I think you should know

I ain't gonna miss you when you go

I've been down so much

I've been tossed around enough

Oh couldn't you just let me go down and do my stuff

I know you're hoping to find

Someone who's gonna give you peace of mind

When times go bad

When times get rough

Won't you lay me down in the tall grass and let me do my stuff

I'm just second hand news

I'm just second hand news

 

"Go Your Own Way"

written by Lindsey Buckingham

copyright 1976 Now Sounds Music\Gentoo Music

[available on Rumours]

Just my way of making fun of something that was painful on other levels.

Loving you

Isn't the right thing to do

How can I ever change things

That I feel

 

If I could

Maybe I'd give you my world

How can I

When you won't take it from me

 

You can go your own way

Go your own way

You can call it

Another lovely day

You can go your own way

Go your own way

 

Tell me why

Everything turned around

Packing up

Shacking up is all you wanna do

 

If I could

Baby I'd give you my world

Open up

Everything's waiting for you

 

You can go your own way

Go your own way

You can call it

Another lonely day

You can go your own way

Go your own way

"I Know I'm Not Wrong"

written by Lindsey Buckingham

copyright 1979 Now Sounds Music

[available on Tusk]

Her lips were waitin'

Her eyes looked sad

The dreams of a lifetime

A year gone bad

The dreams of a lifetime

Told me wrong

Everything is all right

And now it's gone

Don't blame me

Please be strong, I know I'm not wrong

 

Here comes the nighttime

Lookin' for a little more

Waitin' on the right time

Somebody outside the door

Don't blame me

Please be strong, I know I'm not wrong

 

 

"That's Enough For Me"

written by Lindsey Buckingham

copyright 1979 Now Sounds Music

[available on Tusk]

Everytime you that you make me smile

It’s the same old way it used to be

And that's enough for me

Everytime that sleep don't come

It's the same old pain that used to be

And that's enough for me

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, mmm, ah, oh

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, mmm, ah, oh

Everytime that sleep don't come

It's the same old pain it used to be

And that's enough for me

And that's enough for me

And that's enough for me

 

"Can't Go Back"

written by Lindsey Buckingham

copyright 1982 Now Sounds Music

[available on Mirage]

Standin' in the shadows

The man I used to be

I wanna go back

(can't go back, can't go back)

Melodies awaken

Sorrows from their sleep

I wanna go back

(can't go back, can't go back)

 

She was just a dream maker

Dreamer of sighs

Shadow on the one who used to cry

A face as soft as a tear in a clown's eye

I wanna go back

(can't go back, can't go back)

 

 

"Tango in the Night"

written by Lindsey Buckingham

copyright 1987 Now Sounds Music

[available on Tango in the Night]

Listen to the wind on the water

Listen to the waves

Upon the shore

Try to sleep, sleep won't come

Just as I begin to fade

 

Then I remember

When the moon was

Full and bright

I would take you in the darkness

And do the tango in the night

Tango…

 

I keep the dream in my pocket

Never let it fade away

Inside, outside

No loneliness in this dream

 

Then I remember

When the moon was

Full and bright

I would take you in the darkness

And do the tango in the night

Tango…

 

"Go Insane"

written by Lindsey Buckingham

copyright 1984 Now Sounds Music

[available on Go Insane]

Two kinds of people in this world

Winners

Losers

I lost my power in this world

'cause I did not use it

 

So I go insane

Like I always do

And I call your name

She's a lot like you

 

Two kinds of trouble in this world

Living

Dying

I lost my power in this world

And the rumours are flying

So I go insane

Like I always do

And I call your name

She's a lot like you

 

 

"Goodbye Angel"

[available on 25 Years- The Chain Box Set]

Goodbye Angel

I'm going down but I'm not going 'round the bend

I'm giving out but I'm not giving in

 

Love turned to hate

Touch turned to pull

What could I do

My cup was full

Goodbye Angel

 

Goodbye Angel

I'm going down but I'm not going 'round the bend

I'm giving out but I'm not giving in

 

Love turned to hate

Touch turned to pull

What could I do

My cup was full

Goodbye Angel

 

Goodbye Angel

(just let it go)

(keep on pulling)

(just let it go)

Goodbye Angel

(keep on pulling)

(just let it go)
