That's not the one I was thinking of. <Happy Traum: How about the one you were doing before?> Nah.

That ain't no song now. (after Back Door Blues).

What to do I don't know. Let's do this one. Oh I didn't do that verse I can do a lot of verses. (before All Over You).

Uh oh I forgot you know it? The other verse. You like that one? Good. Oh no man, I heard it in the sky. I heard it on the street. I heard it all over in puddles, oh god. in bed. Shit. 24 hours a day I heard it then I wrote it down. Masters of War, oh masters of war,  can you give me my black pen. That's one of my favourite pens. Masters of War? ok. No D wasn't it. A minor. (before Masters Of War).

Ain't no gas in here. Let's do another one. Huh oh right man thanks a lot that's one of my favourite pens man. No this ones my brown one man. You got my brown one. (after Masters Of War).

What. Here let's see. Lets do this one. You played only one so far didn't you. Oh you did it? What'd you do? You didn't do that other one then? Will you do it? I wanna hear that. Hey I know. (before Keep Your Hands Off Her).

Oh that's got a whole lotta verses to it. Oh yeah where'd you hear that. Where'd you ever hear that. I used to sing that  didn't I ? (before Stealin')
