  1. cheap thrills
  2. love of my life
  3. how could i be such a fool
  4. deseri (ray collins, paul buff)
  5. i'm not satisfied
  6. jelly roll gum drop
  7. anything (ray collins)
  8. later that night
  9. you didn't try to call me
  10. fountain of love (frank zappa, ray collins)
  11. "no. no. no."
  12. any way the wind blows
  13. stuff up the cracks
