Eagles: Live at the Capital Centre (March 1977) (2013) - full transcript

"Hotel California"
Lead Vocals: Don Henley

On a dark desert highway

Cool wind in my hair

Warm smell of colitas

Rising up through the air

Up ahead in the distance

I saw shimmering light

My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim

I had to stop for the night

There she stood in the doorway

I heard the mission bell



And I was thinking to myself

This could be Heaven or this could be Hell

Then she lit up a candle

And she showed me the way

There were voices down the corridor

I thought I heard them say

(welcome to the Hotel California)

Such a lovely place

(such a lovely place)

Such a lovely face

(there's plenty of room at the Hotel California)

Any time of year

(any time of year)

You can find it here



Her mind is Tiffany-twisted

She got the Mercedes Benz

She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys

That she calls friends

How they dance in the courtyard

Sweet summer sweat

Some dance to remember

Some dance to forget

So I called up the Captain

Please bring me my wine

He said

'We haven't had that spirit here"

"Since 1969"

And still those voices are calling from far away

Wake you up in the middle of the night

Just to hear them say

(welcome to the Hotel California)

Such a lovely place

(such a lovely place)

Such a lovely face

They're livin' it up at the Hotel California

What a nice surprise

(what a nice surprise)

Bring your alibis

Mirrors on the ceiling

The pink champagne on ice

And she said

'We are all just prisoners here"

"Of our own device"

And in the master's chambers

They gathered for the feast

They stab it with their steely knives

But they just can't kill the beast

Last thing I remember, I was

Running for the door

I had to find the passage back

To the place I was before

"Relax, " said the night man

"We are programmed to receive"

"And you can check-out any time you like"

"But you can never leave!"

Thank you.

And good evening.

We're the eagles
from Los Angeles.

Hey I tell you what, if you got firecrackers, save 'em til you get home, lock yourself in the closet and light everything you got ok?

Thank you, Joe.

"New Kid In Town"
Lead Vocals: Glenn Frey

There's talk on the street it sounds so familiar

Great expectations everybody's watching you

People you meet they all seem to know you

Even your old friends treat you like you're something new

Johnny come lately

The new kid in town

Everybody loves you

So don't let them down

You look in her eyes the music begins to play

Hopeless romantics here we go again

But after awhile you're lookin' the other way

It's those restless hearts that never mend

Johnny come lately

The new kid in town

Will she still love you?

(ahhhhhh)
When you're not around...

There's so many things you should have told her

But night after night you're willing to hold her just hold her

Tears on your shoulder

There's talk on the street it's there to remind you

That it doesn't really matter which side you're on

You're walking away and they're talking behind you

They will never forget you 'til somebody new comes along

Where you been lately?

There's a new kid in town

Everybody loves him don't they?

(aaaaaahhh...)
And he's holding her

And you're still around...

Oh, my-my

There's a new kid in town
(aaaaaahhh...)

Just another new kid in town...
(aaaaaahhh...)

(oooohoooo)

Everybody's talking 'bout

The new kid in town
(oooohoooo)

(oooohoooo)

Everybody's walking like

The new kid in town
(oooohoooo)

There's a new kid in town

I don't want to hear it

There's a new kid in town

I don't want to hear it, yeah
Oooooohooooo
(there's a new kid in town)

(there's a new kid in town)

(there's a new kid in town)

(there's a new kid in town)

Ohoho

(there's a new kid in town)

"Take It To The Limit"
Lead Vocals: Randy Meisner

All alone at the end of the evening

When the bright lights have faded to blue

I was thinking about a woman

Who might have loved me

And I never knew

You know I've always been a dreamer

(spent my life running round)

And it's so hard to change

(can't seem to settle down)

But the dreams I've seen lately
(ahhhhhhaaahh)

Keep on turning out

And burning out

And turning out the same

So put me on a highway

And show me a sign

And take it to the limit

One more time

You can spend all your time making money

Or you can spend all your love making time

If it all fell to pieces tomorrow

Would you still be mine?

And when you're looking for your freedom

(nobody seems to care)

And you can't find the door

(can't find it anywhere)

When there's nothing to believe in
(ahhhhhhaaahh)

Still you're coming back

You're running back

You're coming back for more...

So put me on a highway

And show me a sign

And take it to the limit

One more time

(take it to the limit)

(take it to the limit)

(take it to the limit)

One more time

(take it to the limit)

Weeeeeeeeee...
(take it to the limit)

Well come on and take it to the limit

One more time

(take it to the limit)

Weeeeeeeeee...
(take it to the limit)

Well you gotta take it to the limit

One more time

Aaahhhhhhhhhhhh......
(take it to the limit)
(take it to the limit)

Well come on and take it to the limit

One more time

(take it to the limit)

Ahhhhahh..
(take it to the limit)

Ahhahhhhhhhhhhhhhh......
(take it to the limit)

(take it to the limit)

Well come on and take it to the limit

You gotta take it to the limit

One more time........

Thank you.

"One Of These Nights"
Lead Vocals: Don Henley

One of these nights

One of these crazy old nights

We're gonna find out, pretty mama

What turns on your lights

The full moon is calling

The fever is high

And the wicked wind whispers and moans

And you got your demons

And you got desires

Well, I got a few of my own

(oooooo, someone to be kind to)

(in between the dark and the light)

(oooooo, coming right behind you)

(swear I'm gonna find you)

(one of these nights)

One of these dreams

One of these lost and lonely dreams now

We're gonna find one

Ooo, one that really screams

I've been searching for the daughter

Of the devil himself

I've been searching for an angel in white

I've been waiting for a woman who's a little of both

And I can feel her but she's nowhere in sight

(ooooooo, loneliness will blind you)

(in between the wrong and the right)

ohwoooh

(oooooo, coming right behind you)

(swear I'm gonna find you)

(one of these nights)

(one of these nights)

Oh, in between the dark and the light

Coming right behind you

Swear I'm gonna find you

Get ya baby one of these nights

(one of these nights)

Oooohooo, oooohooo

(one of these nights)

Ahhhhhh, I can feel it
I can feel it

(one of these nights)

I wanna say hi.....

(one of these nights)

Ahhhh, one of these crazy, crazy, crazy nights

(one of these nights)

Here's a song that was on "One Of These Nights"

Ready?

"Lyin' Eyes"
Lead Vocals: Glenn Frey

City girls just seem to find out early

How to open doors with just a smile

A rich old man and she won't have to worry

She'll dress up all in lace and go in style

Late at night a big old house gets lonely

I guess every form of refuge has its price

And it breaks her heart to think her love is only

Given to a man with hands as cold as ice

So she tells him she must go out for the evening

To comfort an old friend who's feelin' down

But he knows where she's goin' as she's leavin'

She is headed for the cheatin' side of town

You can't hide your lyin' eyes

And your smile is a thin disguise

I thought by now you'd realize

There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes

On the other side of town a boy is waiting

With fiery eyes and dreams no one could steal

She drives on through the night anticipating

'Cause he makes her feel the way she used to feel

She rushes to his arms, they fall together

She whispers that it's only for awhile

She swears that soon she'll be comin' back forever

She pulls away and leaves him with a smile

You can't hide your lyin' eyes

And your smile is a thin disguise

I thought by now you'd realize

There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes

She gets up and pours herself a strong one

And stares out at the stars up in the sky

Another night, it's gonna be a long one

She draws the shade and hangs her head to cry

She wonders how it ever got this crazy

She thinks about a boy she knew in school

Did she get tired or did she just get lazy?

She's so far gone she feels just like a fool

My, oh my, you sure know how to arrange things

You set it up so well, so carefully

Ain't it funny how your new life didn't change things

You're still the same old girl you used to be

You can't hide your lyin' eyes

And your smile is a thin disguise

I thought by now you'd realize

There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes

There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes

Honey, you can't hide your lyin' eyes

"Rocky Mountain Way"
Lead Vocals: Joe Walsh

Spent the last year

Watchin' the D.C. way

Couldn't get much higher

Out to pasture

I think it's safe to say

Time to open fire

And we don't need the ladies

Cryin' 'cause the story's sad

'Cause the Rocky Mountain way

Is better than the way we had

Whoa-oh-oh

Well he's tellin' us this

Tells us that

Changes it ev'ry day

Says it doesn't matter

Bases are loaded

And Carter's at bat

Playin' it play-by-play

Time to change the batter

Yeah

And we don't need the ladies

Cryin' 'cause the story's sad

'Cause the Rocky Mountain way

Is better than the way we had

Welloooooooh

Alright, D.C.

Come on, give it up.

Thank you.

Woooo

"The Best Of My Love"
Lead Vocals: Don Henley

Every night I'm lyin' in bed

Holdin' you close in my dreams

Thinkin' about all the things that we said

And comin' apart at the seams

We try to talk it over

But the words come out too rough

I know you were tryin'

To give me the best of your love

Beautiful faces and loud, empty places

Look at the way that we live

Wastin' our time on cheap talk and wine

Left us so little to give

Ahh, that same old crowd

Was like a cold dark cloud

We could never rise above

But here in my heart I give you the best of my love

Oooooh sweet darlin'

You get the best of my

You get the best of my love

Oooooh sweet darlin'

You get the best of my

You get the best of my love

I'm goin' back in time

And it's a sweet dream

It was a quiet night

And I would be all right

If i could go on sleepin'

But every mornin'

I wake up and worry

What's gonna happen today

You see it your way

And I see it mine

But we both see it slippin' away

You know we always had each other baby

I guess that wasn't enough

Ohohoh, but here in my heart

I give you the best of my love

Oooooh sweet darlin'

You get the best of my love

Oooooh sweet darlin'

You get the best of my love

Oooooh sweet darlin'

You get the best of my love

Oooooh sweet darlin'

You get the best of my love

(the best of my love)

Every night and day

You get the best of my love

(the best of my love)

You got it, you got it

You got the best of my love

The best of my love.....

Thank you.

Ok

Thank you very much, Washington D.C.

We've had a wonderful time at your party.

"Take It Easy"
Lead Vocals: Glenn Frey

Well, I'm a-running down the road

Tryin' to loosen my load

I've got seven women on my mind

Four that wanna own me

Two that wanna stone me

One says she's a friend of mine

Takin' it easy, takin' it easy

Don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy

Lighten up while you still can

Don't even try to understand

Just find a place to play your hand

And take it easy

Well, I'm a-standing on a corner

In Winslow, Arizona

Such a fine sight to see

It's a girl, my Lord

In a flat-bed Ford

Slowin' down to take a look at me

Well come on, baby

Don't say "Maybe"

I gotta know

If your sweet love

Is gonna save me

We may lose and we may win

But we will never be here again

So open up, I'm climbin' in

And take it easy, alright

Well, I'm running down the road

Trying to loosen my load

Got a world of trouble on my mind

Been lookin' for a lover

Who won't blow my cover

She's so hard to find

Takin' it easy, takin' it easy

Don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy

Well come on, baby

Don't say "Maybe"

I gotta know

If your sweet love

Is gonna save me

(ooohoooo)
