专辑以非常具有环保意识的歌曲 “No More Walks In The Wood“ 揭开序幕,接着映入耳际的是曾为老鹰合唱团创作过畅销曲 “Best Of My Love“ 的摇滚歌手 J.D. Souther 在1974年所写的典型老鹰式民谣摇滚小品 “How Long“。由唐亨利与提摩西史密特携手共谱的 “Do Something“ 乍听之下是首描写男女之间情爱关係的浪漫情歌,但其实也表达了乐团对于週遭环境与时局的关心,而同样也是情歌曲式的作品 “Waiting In The Weeds“ 则是描述乐团成员如何在时间洪流中学会自我沉潜的过程。唐亨利与格林佛莱齐力打造的10分钟摇滚史诗大作 “Long Road Out Of Eden“ 则是从战争时局反讽人类文明的堕落,同时也感慨现代社会充满对立,譁众取宠的现象。另一首同样出自亨利与佛莱手笔的 “Frail Grasp On The Big Picture“ 直接重砲抨击「新闻精神沦丧」、「文化垃圾满天飞」的传媒乱象。乔华许不改摇滚老顽童玩乐性格,带来 “Guilty Of The Crime“、“Last Good Time In Town“ 这两首轻快风趣的摇滚劲作。专辑最末两首歌曲 “Center Of The Universe“、“It's Your World Now“ 是唐亨利与格林佛莱以身为人父的心情道出对下一代的关怀与期许。
I came home to an empty house
And I found your little note
"Don't wait up for me tonight"
And that was all she wrote
Do you think I don't know that you're out on the town
With all of your high-rollin' friends
But what do you do when you come up empty
Where do you go when the party ends
And you were just too busy being fabulous
Too busy to think about us
Well I don't know what you were dreaming of
Somehow you forgot about love
And you were just too busy being fabulous uh-huh
A little time in the country
A day or two to slow down
A bottle of wine and a walk in the moonlight
Maybe some foolin' around
But you think time is just a magazine
And money's just a thrill
I've waited so long for you to change your way of livin'
But now I realize that you never will
'Cause you were just too busy being fabulous
Too busy to think about us
Lookin' for something you'll never find
You'll never know what you left behind
'Cause you were just too busy being fabulous uh-huh
You tell a joke and everybody's laughin'
That's something you know how to do
You've always been the life of the party
But now my baby the joke is on you
'Cause you were just too busy being fabulous
Too busy to think about us
Running after something that never comes
What in the world are you runnin' from
And you were just too busy being fabulous
Too busy to think about us
To drink the wine from the winner's cup
To notice your children were growin' up
And you were just too busy being fabulous
Too busy too busy
Too busy
Aw baby
