So You Want to Be a Rock 'n' Roll Star (02:08)
The Byrds • Younger Than Yesterday
So you want to be a rock and roll star?
Then listen now to what I say.
Just get an electric guitar
Then take some time
And learn how to play.
And with your hair swung right,
And your pants too tight
It's gonna be all right.
Then it's time to go downtown
Where the agent man won't let you down.
Sell your soul to the company
Who are waiting there to sell plastic ware.
And in a week or two
If you make the charts
The girls'll tear you apart.

The price you paid for your riches and fame,
Was it all a strange game?
You're a little insane.
The money, the fame, and the public acclaim,
Don't forget who you are,
You're a rock and roll star.

Have You Seen Her Face (02:27)
The Byrds • Younger Than Yesterday
Have you seen her face?
Will her eyes reflect
The colors in the sky
Or one familiar place
To be swept into
Whenever she's close by
Makes me wonder why

Run by, don't turn back
Can't hide from that look in her eye

Must be the way she walks
A style made up to capture all she needs
No time to spend on loose talk
If your luck runs right
She might see you tonight
Anything in sight

Run by, don't turn back
Can't hide from that look in her eye

Run by, don't turn back
Can't hide from that look in her eye

You'll find you're locked in her spell
All the sights and sounds
Your senses will be found
And only time will tell
How much love can be
To wait so patiently
Wait and see

Run by, don't turn back
Can't hide from that look in her eye

C.T.A.-102 (02:30)
The Byrds • Younger Than Yesterday
C.T.A.102 year
Over year receiving you
Signals tell us that you're there
We can hear them loud and clear

We just want to let you know
That we're ready for to go
Out into the universe,
We don't care who's been there first

On a radio telescope
Science tells us that there's hope
Life on other planets might exist!

Renaissance Fair (01:54)
The Byrds • Younger Than Yesterday
I think that maybe I´m dreaming...

I smell cinnamon and spices
I hear music everywhere
All around kaleidoscope of color
I think that maybe I´m dreaming...

Maids pass gracefully in laughter
Wine coloured flowers in their hair
Last call from lands I´ve never been to
I think that maybe I´m dreaming...

Some flash on a soda of prism
Bright jewels on the ladies flashing
Eyes catch on a shiny prism

Hear ye the crying of the vendors
Fruit for sale wax candles for to burn
Fires flare soon it will be night fall
I think that maybe I´m dreaming...

Everybody's Been Burned (03:01)
The Byrds • Younger Than Yesterday
Everybody's been burned before
Everybody knows the pain
Anyone in this place
Can tell you to your face
Why you shouldn't try to love someone

Everybody knows it never works
Everybody knows and me
I know that door that shuts
Just before you get to the dream
You see...

I know all too well
How to turn, how to run
How to hide behind
A bitter wall of blue
But you die inside
If you choose to hide
So I guess instead, I'll love you

Thoughts and Words (02:57)
The Byrds • Younger Than Yesterday
One day you came into my mind
And everything looked as though it was all mine
Loveliness to gaze upon
To feel your magic pulling me away

I thought I was on top of it all
Everyone else was so small
Then I knew what you wanted to do
I knew what you wanted to do

Often think of times when all your thoughts and words
Come close to making me lose my mind
Moment now recalling all the time involving minutes
That we spent alone

I thought I was on top of it all
Everyone else was so small
Then I knew what you wanted to do
I knew what you wanted to do

One day you came into my mind
And everything looked as though it was all mine
Loveliness to gaze upon
To feel your magic pulling me away

I thought I was on top of it all
Everyone else was so small
Then I knew what you wanted to do
I knew what you wanted to do

My Back Pages (03:10)
The Byrds • Younger Than Yesterday
Crimson flames tied through my years
Flowing high and mighty trapped
Countless fire and flaming roads
Using ideas as my maps
We'll meet on edges soon, said I
Proud 'neath heated brow
Ah, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now

Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth
Rip down all hate, I screamed
Lies that life is black and white
Spoke from my skull, I dreamed
Romantic flanks of musketeers
Foundationed deep, somehow
Ah, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now

In a soldier's stance I aimed my hand
At the mongrel dogs who teach
Fearing not I'd become my enemy
In the instant that I preach
Sisters fled by confusion boats
Mutiny from stern to bow
Ah, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now

Ah, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now

My guard stood hard when abstract threats
Too noble to neglect
Deceived me into thinking
I had something to protect
Good and bad, I define these terms
Quite clear, no doubt, somehow
Ah, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now

The Girl With No Name (01:52)
The Byrds • Younger Than Yesterday
One day she came along, I didn´t know her name
My friends said to me watch out for the game
I didn´t want to believe all the things they said
It seemed to be the right time a love afffair instead

Walkin´ down the beach, kickin´ up the sand
Not so far away wonderin´ where they´ll land
We talked of things to do and places that we´d tame
A one with a love to share with a girl who had no name
who had no name

Then it came the time they said when all the good went bad
She walked into the night, it didn´t make me sad
I felt my friends´ advice echo through my soul
A one with a love to share with a girl who had no name
who had no name

Why (02:46)
The Byrds • Younger Than Yesterday
Keep sayin' no to her since she was a baby
Keep sayin' no to her, not even maybe
Why?
Why?

You say there's a limit there, she can't go past that
She don't believe you, she don't think that's where it's at
Why?
Why?

You say she can't change that, it's the way you've always done it
She don't care about that, she thinks you've just begun it
Why?
Why?

You say it's a dead old world, cold and unforgiving
I don't know where you live but you're not living
Why?
Why?

Keep sayin' no to her since she was a baby
Keep sayin' no to her, not even maybe
Why?
Why?
