Cosmic Empire [1970]
35.
by George Harrison - from "Beware Of ABKCO!"
I'm waiting in the que down at the Cosmic Empire
I wanna a front row pew down at the Cosmic Empire
An omnipresent view down at the Cosmic Empire
[World of Truth] come shining clear
It beads light there
[No one worlds] all disappear
It shines bright there
Down at the Cosmic Empire
Down at the Cosmic Empire
Down at the Cosmic Empire
To where our souls are filled with joy
Can't resist there
Spirit no one can destroy
You'll find bliss there
Down at the Cosmic Empire
Down at the Cosmic Empire
Down at the Cosmic Empire
From The Singe 1971
Found on: "Somewhere In Utopia"; "Real"
When sunshine is not enough
To make me feel bright
It's got me suffering in the darkness
That's so easy come by on the road-side
Of one loong life-time
It's got me deep blue
You know I'm deep blue
When you stand there, watch tired bodies
Full of sickness and pain
To show you just how helpless you really are
When you get down to the truth
It hurts me
It's got me deep blue
You know I'm deep blue
When I think of the life I'm living
Pray God help me; give me Your Light
So I can love You and understand
This repetition that keeps me here
Feeling deep blue
It's got me deep blue
You know I'm deep blue
From The Single 1973
Found on: "Somewhere In Utopia"; "Real"
I'm the only one down here
Who's got nothing to say
About the war
Or the rice
That keeps going astray on its way to Bombay.
And the smog that keeps polluting up our shores
Is boring me to tears.
Why don't you call me, Miss O'Dell?
I'm the only one down here
Who's got nothing to fear
From the waves
Or the night
That keeps rolling on right up to my front porch.
The record player's broken on the floor,
And Ben, he can't restore it.
Miss O'Dell.
I can tell you
Nothing new
Has happened since I last saw you.
And I'm the only one down here
Who's got nothing to say
About the hip
Or the dope
Or the cat with most hope to fill the Fillmore.
And your pushing, shoving, ringing on my bell
Is not for me tonight.
So, won't you call me, Miss O'Dell?
Won't you call me, Miss O'Dell?
From The Single 1974
Found on: "Somewhere In Utopia"
(Speech:)
"OK here we go, for this
We got a B-side to make, ladies and gentlemen,
we haven't got much time now so we better get
right on with it"
I don't care anymore
And I'll kick down anybody's door
To hold you in my arms once more
I'd go anywhere
Y'know I don't care
If your man should get uptight
'Cause we've been alone for most of the night
Now realize it's our right
To get back up them stairs
Y'know I don't care
There's a line I can draw
That often leaves me wanting more
But it's not so often that I feel so sure
Nothing I can do
To stop me falling more in Love with you
It can't be so bad
What you want that you do not have
It's got you too upset now
I don't think it's unfair
Y'know I don't care
Anymore
And I'll kick down anybody's door
To hold you in my arms once more
I'd go anywhere
Y'know I
(Very nice, Tony)

From The CD Issued With Genesis Publications Book "Songs By George Harrison"
Because you're sweet and lovely, I love you,
Because you're sweet and lovely, girl, it's true.
I love you more than ever, girl, I do.
I loved you from the moment I saw you.
You looked at me, that's all you had to do.
I'm living ev'ry moment, girl, for you.
- On percussion, Emil Richards!
Well, I loved you from the moment I saw you. (yeah!)
You looked at me, that's all you had to do.
I love you more than ever, girl, I do.
- On the guitar, Robben Ford!
- And on the bass, one Willie Weeks!
(Yeah!)
Well, Lord, I loved Willie Weeks the moment that I saw him.
Well, he played that bass, that's all he had to do.
So I bribed Willie to come on the tour to play with me.
Because you're sweet and lovely, I love you,
Because you're sweet and lovely, girl, it's true.
I love you more than ever, girl, I do.
Thank you!
Composed by John Lennon - 1965
From 1974 Concerts
There are places I remember
All my life though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I've loved them all
But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compared with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of Love as something new
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love God more
Aired: 26 Dec 1975
Found on: "The Pirate Songs"; Duration= 2.12
I like to be a pirate
A pirate's life for me
All my friends are pirates
And sail the B. B. sea
I've got a Jolly Roger
It's black and white and vast
Get out of your Skull and Crossbones
And I'll run it up your mast
With a yo-ho-ho!
And a ya-ha-ha!
And a ye-hee-hee-ho-hum!
With a yo-ho-ho!
And a ya-ha-ha!
And a yum-yum-jum-jum!!!
All together!
[repeat]
One more time!

Duet With Paul Simon
Composed By Paul Simon
From "Saturday Night Live", First Aired 20 November 1976 In The US
I'm sittin' in the railway station,
Got a ticket for my destination, mm-mm.
On a tour of one night stands,
My suitcase and guitar in hand
And ev'ry stop is neatly planned
For a poet and a one man band.
Homeward bound, I wish I was,
Homeward bound.
Home were my thought's escaping,
Home where my music's playing,
Home where my Love lies waiting silenty for me.
Ev'ry day's an endless stream
Of cigarettes and magazines, uh-hmm-hmm.
And each town looks the same to me,
The movies and the factories
And ev'ry stranger's face I see
Reminds me that I long to be,
Homeward bound, I wish I was,
Homeward bound.
Home were my thought's escaping,
Home where my music's playing,
Home where my Love lies waiting silenty for me.
Tonight I'll sing my songs again,
And I'll play the game and pretend, mm-mm.
But all my words come back to me
In shades of mediocrity
Like emptiness in harmony
I need someone to comfort me.
Homeward bound, I wish I was,
Homeward bound.
Home were my thought's escaping,
Home where my music's playing,
Home where my Love lies waiting silenty for me,
Silently for me.
Bridge Over Troubled Water [1976]
Composed by Paul Simon
Performed by GH: Nov 18, 1976 for Saturday Night Live, Paul Simon TV Show, Guest
When you're weary, feeling small,
When tears are in your eyes
I will dry them all.
I'm on your side,
Oh, when times get rough
And friends just can't be found.
Like a bridge over troubled water,
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water,
I will lay me down.
When you're down and out,
When you're on the street.
When evening falls so hard,
I will comfort you.
I'll take your part
Oh, when darkness comes
And pain is all around.
Like a bridge over troubled water,
Will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water,
I will lay me down.
I decided long ago,
Never to walk in anyone's shadow.
If I fail, if I succeed,
At least I've lived as I believed.
No matter what they take from me,
They can't take away my dignity.
Sail on silver bird,
Sail on by.
Your time has come to shine.
All your dreams are on their way.
See how they shine.
Oh, if you need a friend,
I'm sailing right behind.
Like a bridge over troubled water,
I will ease your mind.
Like a bridge over troubled water,
I will ease your mind.
Ease your mind.
By George Harrison
From The Withdrawn Version Of "Somewhere In England"
All through my life I've been hearing
All about those good old days.
It makes no diff'rence,
What was or what may be.
The past it is gone,
The future may not be at all,
The present improve the flying hour.
Some people look into the future,
They're hoping that they'll see better days.
It's such a sweet thought,
It's something that could be.
The past it is gone,
The future may not be at all,
The present improve the flying hour.
What was and what may be,
Is not here, it is not clear to me.
Right now is the one thing
That I can feel, the one thing real to me,
Uh-uh - uh-uh.
So as you sit back to remember
That which you cannot recall.
It makes no diff'rence,
What was or what may be.
The past it is gone,
The future may not be at all,
The present improve the flying hour.
It makes no diff'rence,
What was or what may be.
The past it is gone,
The future may not be at all,
The present improve the flying hour, uh-uh, uh-uh.
The past it is gone,
The future may not be at all,
The present improve the flying hour.
By George Harrison
From The Withdrawn Version Of "Somewhere In England"
I know that I seem strange to you sometimes,
And who is it in here, you have often thought.
But what can I tell you that you don't know already?
It's even the times like this will roll away.
But I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you,
That's all that I have ever really wanted.
I know that it will work out all the same,
And whoever it is in here can overcome the pain.
The true friend's shoulder to lean on, I'll make it through,
And over and over I feel for you.
But I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you,
That's all that I have ever really wanted.
Mm, oh yeah,
You know that sometimes a man
He has nowhere to lay his head.
But what can I tell you that you don't know already?
It's even the times like this will roll away.
But I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you,
That's all that I have ever really wanted.
Mm, oh yeah,
You know that sometimes a man
He has nowhere to lay his head.
Nowhere, I said nowhere,
Nowhere to lay his head.
By George Harrison
From The Withdrawn Version Of "Somewhere In England"
Sitting as the noonday sun
Shines high up in a clear blue sky.
While warming me I drift away
No mem'ries of the times gone by.
Oh, the moment that I lose my mind,
You come into my heart and say
I'm always here for you to love,
Surrender to me, let me stay-ay-ay.
Oo-oo -
Oo-oo, du, du, du, du, du, du, du.
Sinking deeper still inside,
I feel awakened from my dreams.
Resting in some golden flow,
Becoming part of you it seems.
Nothing separates my life
From that which we have called our goal,
It's all in this external world
As results from deep within my soul-oul-oul.
Oo-oo -
Oo-oo, du, du, du, du, du, du, du.
Oo-oo, du, du, du, du, du, du, du.
As I open up my eyes,
The sky has changed into a glow.
My sense of time had disappeared,
I see the sun has sunken low.
I feel such joy and call your name,
You're ev'rything my eyes could see.
I'll gladly kiss it all goodbye,
Stay ever in your company-ny-ny.
Oo-oo -
Oo-oo, du, du, du, du, du, du, du.
Oo-oo, Sri Krishna,
Du, du, du, du, du, du, du.
Sat singing.
Sat, sat.
By George Harrison
From The Withdrawn Version Of "Somewhere In England"
War mongers terrorise us all,
Our leaders heed us to their call.
Stonewallin, voices calling,
Drowning in the tears of the world.
Big business calling ev'ry tune,
Polluting here and to the moon.
All nations, conservations,
Drowning in the tears of the world.
But your lives worth saving,
We should start behaving
Like the truth's been told
By saviours through our time.
Your downfall, you'll bring it on yourselves.
All warning fall upon deaf ears,
Their scorn compounding my worst fears.
No way out, hopeless souls shout,
Drowning in the tears of the world.
Drowning in the tears of the world,
Tears of the world.
Where's your Love been sleeping?
Has your heart been weeping
Over all unrighteous action in the world
Where bad jazz seems all they're laying down?
No use in turning your blind eye,
You feel the heat as you fry.
Try your best, you'll find no rest,
Drowning in the tears of the world.
It's a sure bet, each pays his debts,
Drowning in the tears of the world.
by Bob Dylan
Found on: "Real"; Duration=4.10
I can hear the turning of the key
I've been deceived by the clown inside of me
I thought that he was righteous but he's vain
Something's telling me, I wear the ball and chain.
My patron saint is fighting with a ghost
He's always off somewhere when I need him most.
The Spanish moon is rising on the hill
But my heart is telling me, I love you still.
I come back to the town from the flaming moon,
I see you in the street, I begin to swoon.
I love to see you dress before the mirror
Won't you let me in your room one time, before I disappear.
Everybody's wearing a disguise
To hide what they've got left behind their eyes
But me I can't cover what I am
Wherever the children go, I'll follow them.
I can't play the game no more, I can't abide
By their stupid rules which get me sick inside.
They've been made by men who've given up the search,
Whose gods are dead and whose queens are in the church.
I march in the parade of liberty
But as long as I love you I'm not free.
How long must I suffer such abuse?
Won't you let me see you smile, before I cut you loose.
Send out for St John the Evangelist,
All my friends are drunk, they can be dismissed.
My head says that it's time to make a change,
But my heart is telling me, I love you but you're strange.
So step lightly darling near the wall.
Put on your heavy make-up, wear your shawl.
Won't you descend from the throne from where you sit
Let me feel your Love one more time, before I abandon it.
By Bob Dylan
From The Film "Porky's Revenge"
Looking back upon my youth,
The time I always knew the Truth,
I don't wanna do it,
I don't wanna say goodbye.
To go back in the yard and play,
If I could only have another day,
I don't wanna do it,
I don't wanna make you cry.
To go back on the hill beside the track and try to concentrate.
On all the places I don't wanna be,
You know, it shows you that I could not wait.
So come back into my arms again,
This Love of ours it has no end,
I don't wanna do it,
I don't wanna make you cry.
Ah -
I don't wanna do it,
I don't wanna say goodbye.
Ah -
I don't wanna do it,
I don't wanna see you cry.
To go back on the hill beside the track and try to concentrate.
On other places I don't wanna be,
You know, it shows you that I could not wait.
So come back into my arms again,
This Love of ours it has no end,
I don't wanna do it,
I don't wanna make you cry.
Ah -
I don't wanna do it,
I don't wanna say goodbye.
Ah -
I don't wanna do it,
I don't wanna see you cry.

Well, it's one for the money,
Two for the show,
Three to get ready,
Now go, cat, go.
But don't you step on my blue suede shoes.
You can do anything but lay off of my Blue suede shoes.
Well, you can knock me down,
Step in my face,
Slander my name
All over the place.
Do anything that you want to do, but uh-uh,
Honey, lay off of my shoes
Don't you step on my Blue suede shoes.
You can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes.
Burn my house,
Steal my car,
Drink my cider [/liquor]

Honey don't, honey don't, honey don't

Deep down in Louisiana
Close to New Orleans
Way back up in the woods
Among the evergreens
There stand a country cabin
Made of clay and wood
Where lives a young country boy
Named Johnny B.Goode
He never ever learned
To read or write a book so well
But he could play his guitar
Just like a-ringing a bell
Go go, go Johnny go go go!
Go Johnny go go go!
Go Johnny go go go!
Go Johnny go go go!
Aah Johnny B. Goode!
He used to carry his guitar
In a gunny sack
Sit beneath the trees
By the railroad track
Oh sitting and a-playing
In the shade
Drumming to the rhythm
That the drivers made
People passing by
Used to stop and say
My oh my
That country boy can play
Go go, go Johnny go go go!
Go Johnny go go go!
Go Johnny go go go!
Go Johnny go go go!
Aah Johnny B. Goode!
Well his mama told him
Someday you will be a man
And you will be the leader
Of a big old band
Many people coming
From miles around
To hear you play your music
Till the sun goes down
Maybe some day
Your name will be in light
Saying: Johnny B. Goode tonight!
Go go, go Johnny go go go!
Go Johnny go go go!
Go Johnny go go go!
Go Johnny go go go!
Aah Johnny B. Goode!
By George Harrison
From The Film "Shanghai Surprise"
I can't understand how I've gone astray,
I should be sailing away on a liner.
I was knocked on my back on a dock at yang-tse,
It's a hell of a way to see China.
But I'm ready.
You must be crazy...
And you got no money...
And you're a liar...
My straits are dire from the wok into the fire,
I'd like to trust you but I've broken my rickshaw.
Sometimes there's no hope in, in chasing opium,
I'd like to love you but I'm not sure what's in your eyes,
Mm, Shanghai Surprise.
Whatever you're saying, I want it anyway in
Been hanging 'round like a kid at your back door.
Oh, babe!
You could be kinder, and show me Asia minor,
I'll let you love me, let you see what's here in my eyes,
Shanghai Surprise.
You must be crazy... Crazy...
And you got no money... Money...
And it seems like madness...
Back streets so crowded that no room to swing a cat,
I'd like to know you but you're acting so coolie.
I'm finding out pursued by evil looking dudes,
It's getting hot for me like tofu when it deep fries,
Oh, Shanghai Surprise.
But, baby, you look like any common crook
That's hanging 'round in those real shady places.
Oh, baby!
While you assess me, why not try to impress me?
Step over here, let me see what's there in your eyes,
Oh, Shanghai Surprise.
I don't understand how I got delayed,
I should be sailing today on a liner.
Was kicked in the ass on a dock at yang-tse,
It's no way for a man to see China.
But I'm ready.
You must be crazy... Crazy...
And you got no money... Money...
But you're a tryer...
My straits are dire from the wok into the fire,
I'd like to meet you but I've broken my chopstick.
Sometimes there's no hope in, in chasing promises,
I wanna love you though it could prove to be unwise,
Shanghai Surprise.
Whatever you're saying, I want it anyway in
In hanging 'round for a ride on your rickshaw.
Oh, babe!
You may correct me, now that you've inspected me,
Come over here, let me feel you cut down to size,
Oh, Shanghai Surprise.
My straits are dire from the wok into the fire,
I'd like to know you but I'm not really social.
Sometimes it's no joke, can't cope with opium,
I'd like to love you but I'm not sure what's in your eyes,
Shanghai Surprise.
Shanghai Surprise.
Shanghai Surprise.
And you got no money...
But you're a tryer...
The Hottest Gong In Town [1986]
From The CD Issued With Genesis Publications Book "Songs By George Harrison 2"
You heard about old Smokey Joe,
Now there's someone else that you ought to know about.
A little cat named Si-Fu Yow,
And down in Chinatown he's pretty well renowned.
And is you ready to get happy,
He can beat it out, look out, brother, now,
He's got the hottest gong in town.
Well, you know about old Cokey Mo,
And he was boss long, long time ago.
And afterward he kicked the can
That's when Mr. Yow became the number one.
So if you're ready to get happy,
You can meet your sister, look out, tell your brother,
He's got the hottest gong in town.
(Scat sing)
Well, you'll never gonna go back home,
And once you've been down there, you, you'll never feel alone.
While you're movin' with that rhythm,
You're gonna swing 'em all while dancin' on the floor.
So is you ready to get happy,
I tell you, don't delay, c'mon, baby, hear him play,
He's got the hottest gong in town.
(Scat sing)

I bless the day I found you
I want my arms around you
And so I beg you
Let it be me
Don't take this heaven from one
If you must cling to someone
Now and forever
Let it be me
Each time we meet love, I find complete love
Without your sweet love, what would life be?
So never leave me lonely
Tell me that you love me only
And say you'll always
Let it be me
So never leave me lonely
Tell me you love me only
And say you'll always
Let it be me

In the time of my confession,
In the hour of my deepest need
When the pool of tears beneath my feet
Flood every newborn seed
There's a dyin' voice within me reaching out somewhere,
Toiling in the danger and in the morals of despair.
Don't have the inclination to look back on any mistake,
Like Cain, I now behold this chain of events that I must break.
In the fury of the moment I can see the Master's hand
In every leaf that trembles, in every grain of sand.
Oh, the flowers of indulgence and the weeds of yesteryear,
Like criminals, they have choked the breath of conscience and good cheer.
The sun beat down upon the steps of time to light the way
To ease the pain of idleness and the memory of decay.
I gaze into the doorway of temptation's angry flame
And every time I pass that way I always hear my name.
Then onward in my journey I come to understand
That every hair is numbered like every grain of sand.
[I have gone from rags to riches
In the sorrow of the night
In the violence of a summer's dream,
In the chill of a wintry light,
In the bitter dance of loneliness fading into space,
In the broken mirror of innocence on each forgotten face.
I hear the ancient footsteps like the motion of the sea
Sometimes I turn, there's someone there, other times it's only me.
I am hanging in the balance of the reality of man
Like every sparrow falling, like every grain of sand].
Composed by Bob Dylan? - TW OutTake
Like a ship on the sea
Our love rolls over me
Like a ship on the sea
Our love rolls over me
Go 'way, go 'way let me be
Like a wind bend over a tree
Our love hangs over me
Like a wind bends down a tree
Our love hangs over me
Go 'way, go 'way let me be
Standing on the white cliffs of Dover
Looking out in the space
Have a channel to cross over
Another dream to chase
The night is dark and dreary
The wind is howling down
Your heart is hanging heavy
Well your sweet love ain't around
Like a leave on a tree
Our love is shaking me
Like a leave on a tree
Our love is shaking me
Go 'way, go 'way let me be
[On the sea like a ship on the sea]
Like leave like a ship on the sea
[On the sea like a ship on the sea]

My love she speaks like silence,
Without ideals or violence,
She doesn't have to say she's faithful,
Yet she's true, like ice, like fire.
People carry roses,
Make promises by the hours,
My love she laughs like the flowers,
Valentines can't buy her.
In the dime stores and bus stations,
People talk of situations,
Read books, repeat quotations,
Draw conclusions on the wall.
Some speak of the future,
My love she speaks softly,
She knows there's no success like failure
And that failure's no success at all.
The cloak and dagger dangles,
Madams light the candles.
In ceremonies of the horsemen,
Even the pawn must hold a grudge.
Statues made of match sticks,
Crumble into one another,
My love winks, she does not bother,
She knows too much to argue or to judge.
The bridge at midnight trembles,
The country doctor rambles,
Bankers' nieces seek perfection,
Expecting all the gifts that wise men bring.
The wind howls like a hammer,
The night blows cold and rainy,
My love she's like some raven
At my window with a broken wing.
Between The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea
(Arlen-Koehler)
Transcribed from Cab Calloway and His Orchestra, recorded October 21, 1931.
From Cab Calloway and His Orchestra 1931-1932; The Chronogical Classics 526.
Sung by Georgie H. March 3 1991
I don't want you,
But I hate to lose you,
You've got me inbetween the devil and the deep blue sea.
I forgive you,
'Cause I can't forget you,
You've got me inbetween the devil and the deep blue sea.
I ought to cross you off my list,
But when you come knocking at my door,
Fate seems to give my heart a twist,
And I come running back for more.
I should hate you,
But I guess I love you,
You've got me inbetween the devil and the deep blue sea.

Tales")

Ride rajbun, ride rajbun,
Seek your fame and speak your fortune
Go on, rajbun, ride your raleigh
Cross the mountains, through the valleys.
Bunbury stands for freedom
Being young and having fun
So rajbun, you must leave them
Frog katman and tallitobun.
Ride rajbun, ride rajbun,
Seek your fame and speak your fortune
Go on, rajbun, ride your raleigh
Cross the mountains, through the valleys.
Bunbury's stick together
Never turning from the quest
So dear friends, it's now or never
It's up to us to do our best.
Ride rajbun, ride rajbun,
Seek your fame and speak your fortune
Go on, rajbun, ride your raleigh
Cross the mountains, far from dehli.
You may think that you have heard the last of katman,
I've got news for you, my friend, I'll stick to that man
I'll be watching you 'round ev'ry bend you'll take, fall.
I will catch you, gonna stop you.
Bunbury's must have no fears,
Play the game and we'll succeed.
This is not the time for your tears
As a team we'll all be free.
Ride rajbun, ride rajbun,
Cross the deserts, through the forest,
Ride rajbun, ride rajbun,
Through the valley, into sunsets.
You may think that you have heard the last of katman,
I'll be watching you 'round ev'ry bend you'll take, fall.
I will catch you, gonna stop you.
Ride rajbun, ride rajbun,
Cross the deserts, through the forest,
Ride rajbun, ride rajbun,
Through the valleys, into sunsets.
Ride rajbun, ride rajbun,
Seek your fame and speak your fortune
Go on, rajbun, ride your raleigh
Cross the mountains, through the valleys.

If your life's not right, doesn't satisfy you,
You don't get the breaks like some of us do.
Better work it out, find where you've gone wrong,
Better do it soon 'cause you don't have long.
Get out of Sour Milk Sea,
You don't belong there.
Get back to where you should be,
Find out what's going on there.
If you want the most from ev´rything you do,
In the shortest time your dreams come true.
In no time at all, makes you more aware,
Very simple process takes you there.
Get out of Sour Milk Sea,
You don't belong there.
Get back to where you should be,
Find out what's going on there.
Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm -

Looking for release from limitation,
There's nothing much without illumination.
You fool around with ev´ry diff'rent cult,
There's only one way really brings results.
Get out of Sour Milk Sea,
You don't belong there.
Get back to where you should be,
Find out what's going on there.
Ah -
Get back to where you should be,
Find out what's going on there.

Thinking 'bout the times you drove in my car,
Thinking that I might have drove it too far.
And I'm thinking 'bout the Love that you laid on my table.
I told you not to wander 'round in the dark,
I told you 'bout the swans that they live in the park.
Then I told you 'bout "our kid", now he's married to mabel.
Yes, I told you that the life goes up and down,
Don't you notice how the wheel goes 'round?
And you'd better pick yourself up from the ground
Before they bring the curtain down,
Yes, before they bring the curtain down.
Oo - oo -
Get up! Get up! Get up!
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Talking 'bout a girl that looks quite like you,
She didn't have the time to wait in the queue.
She cried away her life since she fell off the cradle.

Some folks want to be big wheels
And stand up ten foot tall.
But you got wheels that don't have no spokes
That really stand up at all.
Each one leanin' on the other,
Depending in every way.
Needin' each other and bleedin' each other
And doin' it for the pay, hey!
Ain't that cute, baby, ain't that cute?
With this chaos all around you,
Violence on TV
You want the news to check your daily blues paper
All about you and me.
Each one steppin' on the other,
Walk all over me.
Stonin' each other and phonin' each other
And bringing their horse to te-ee-ee-ea.
Ain't that cute, baby, ain't that cute?
Ain't it cute the way they smile for me
With their foot inside my door?
Ain't it cute the way they know me so well
That they sleep around my floor?
Oh, oh, oh yeah!
Some folks scrapin' on the bottom,
Think they're at the top.
While them up there don't feel hardly nowhere,
Don't get time to stop.
Each one slummin' on the other,
Tryin' to find their niche.
Doin' it all night; gettin' their charts right
And pullin' out all their tricks.
Ain't that cute, baby, ain't that cute?
Ain't that cute, baby, ain't that cute?
Ain't that cute, baby, oh, ain't that cute?
I wanna tell you all about it, right now.
Ain't that cute, baby, yeah, ain't that cute?
Ain't that cute? Ain't that cute? Ain't that cute?
Ain't that cute, baby, woho, ain't that cute?

Stick up your hands, you must stand and deliver,
My stomach's empty, my clothes are all thorn.
Open your hearts to the joys of the giver,
All of your pockets are terribly worn.
This is a holdup, no way to mistake it,
We're men of violence so don't fool around.
If you have money, we're going to take it,
You'll try and stop us, you'll end underground.
When we have your money, we'll ride towards the sunset.
At rosa's canteen we'll stop at the door.
We'll spend all your money just getting the nose wet,
Tomorrow evening we'll be back for more.
So hand us the money, don't stand there and shiver,
Tax time is coming, give alms to the poor.
Or i´ll put a bullet right through your best liver,
Wealth is disease and I am the cure.
When we have your money, we'll ride towards the sunset.

Ev'ry time I see your face,
It reminds me of the places we used to go.
But all I got is a photograph
And I realise you're not coming back anymore.
I thought i'd make it the day you went away,
But I can't make it
Till you come home again to stay-yi-yay-yi-yay.
I can't get used to living here,
While my heart is broke, my tears I cried for you.
I want you here to have and hold,
As the years go by and we grow old and grey.
Now you're expecting me to live without you,
But that's not something that I'm looking forward to.
I can't get used to living here,
While my heart is broke, my tears I cried for you.
I want you here to have and hold,

Sunshine Life For Me (Sail Away Raymond) [1973]

Uh-hoo!
It's a sunshine life for me,
If I could get away from this cloud over me,
Seems to just follow me around.
It's a sunshine life for me,
If I could get away from this cloud over me,
Seems to just follow me around.
There's a good life had for free,
When you're out in the country.
That's what I could use,
If I could get away there soon.
It's a sunshine life for me,
If I could get away from this cloud over me,
Seems to just follow me around.
There's a good life had at sea,
If you're not in the navy.
That's the life for you,
Sail away, raymond, sail away.
Ho!
Ah!
Now most folks just bore me,
Always imposing
And i´d rather meet a tree
Somewhere out in the cornfield.
And it's a sunshine...
It's a sunshine life for me,
If I could get away from this cloud over me,
Seems to just follow me around.
It's a sunshine life for me,
If I could get away from this cloud over me,
Seems to just follow me around.
It's a sunshine life for me,
If I could get away from this cloud over me,
Seems to just follow me around.
And it's a sunshine,

It's a sunshine.

For you and me, babe, it's time that we part,
And between you, babe, I gave you my heart,
For these few moments,
I wish we could start at the top again.
For me and you, babe, it's the end of our date,
Me and the band, babe, all thought it was great,
To entertain you,
But it's getting late and it's time to leave.
Now I wanna tell you the pleasure really was mine.
Yes, I had a good time, singing and drinking some wine.
And when the sun sets in the sky
And you close your weary eyes,
I´ll be in some night-club, getting high, that's no lie.
Now you and me, babe, we may meet again,
And in the meanwhile, stay out of the rain.
But keep your nose dry
And give as a smile if you liked the show.
Now I wanna tell you the pleasure really was mine.
Yes, I had a good time, singing and drinking some wine.
Though I may not be in your town,
You know that I can still be found
Right here on this record, spinning 'round, with the sounds.

I'll Still Love You (When Every Song Is Sung) [1976]
By George Harrison
As Recorded By Ringo Starr
When ev'ry song is sung,
When ev'ry bell's been rung,
When ev'ry picture's hung,
I'll still love you.
When ev'ry wind has blown,
When ev'ry seed is sown,
When ev'rything is known,
Then I'll still love you.
You know that I'll love you,
Yes, I will.
You know I'll love you, love you, love you,
Always will, until
When ev'ry soul is free,
When ev'ry eye can see,
When people all agree,
Then I'll still love you.
You know I'll love you,
Yes, I do.
When times gets so hard, you know,
I'll be there loving you.
You know I'll love you,
Yes, I will.
Yes I'm gonna hold you, need you, love you,
Always will, love you still.
When ev'ry note's been sung,
When ev'ry bell's been rung,
When ev'ry picture's hung,
I'll still love you.
I really love you.

Wrack my brain, wrack my brain,
Till my head's filled with pain,
Wrack my brain.
All dried up, I'm all dried up,
All I have's this empty cup,
All dried up.
What I have, you don't want,
What you want, I can't give.
I got out of touch with you and yours,
The way that you live.
I try to do my best for you,
While the sky pours down the rain,
Wrack my brain.
With a will there's a way,
But there's no way I can see,
Coming up with something you'd enjoy
As much as tv
All the same, I play the game,
Up and down old memory lane,
Wrack my brain, (wrack my brain)
Till my head is filled with pain,
Wrack my brain, (wrack my brain)
While I slowly go insane,
Wrack my brain (wrack my brain)

You fly
Out as your smile wears thin.
And I sigh,
Knowing the mess you're in.
And you know that you can't get away,
And you know you can't hide it from yourself.
Lonely days,
Heavy heart,
No escape,
Can only run so far.
I know,
Something I ought to say,
Stuck here,
Trying to find a way.
And you know that you can't get away,
And you know you can't hide it from yourself.
Lonely nights,
Blue guitar,
No way out,
Can only run so far.
Lonesome tears,
At the bar,
One way street,
Can only run so far.
Uh, uh,
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh.
I pray
That you might make it through
Those teardrops,
They now seem a part of you.
And you know that you can't get away,
And you know you can't hide it from yourself.
Fallin' down,
Under par,
Can't get out,
Can only run so far.
Lonely days,
Heavy heart,
No escape,
Can only run so far.
Lonesome tears,
At the bar,
One way street,
Can only run so far.
Uh, uh,
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh.
Uh, uh,

She's that kind of woman, no doubt about how she feels.
She's holding promises, her eyes won't tell,
Her lips are sealed.
And I like her like that,
She's kind of crazy.
I think I know what I'm looking for, that kind of woman.
I think I know what I'm looking for, that kind of woman.
Standing in the doorway with the sunlight in her hair,
Just watching the wind blow, you know,
She don't have a care.
I like her like that,
'Cause she's kind of crazy.
I think I know what I'm looking for, that kind of woman.
I think I know what I'm looking for, that kind of woman.
She's got to look so cool, you know what I mean.
Got the wickedest smile that I've ever seen.
I crashed my heart on the side of the street that she stood on,
She's that kind of woman.
I like her like that,
She's pretty amazing.
I understand why I want some more, that kind of woman.
One look from her knocks me on the floor, that kind of woman.
She's that kind of lady that you meet in a dream of dreams.
She's always in the shadow, but you know,
This woman's real.
And I like her like that,
'Cause she's kind of crazy.
I think I know what I'm looking for, that kind of woman.
I think I know what I'm looking for, that kind of woman, mm.
I think I know what I'm looking for, that kind of woman.
I said, I know what I'm looking for, that kind of woman.
That kind of woman,
That kind of woman.
That kind of woman.
That kind of woman.
That kind of woman.
That kind of woman.
That kind of woman.
That kind of woman.

Oo-oo-oo,
Oo-oo-oo.
Thrown like a star in my vast sleep,
I opened my eyes to take a peep.
To find that I was by the sea,
Gazing with tranquility.
'Twas then when the hurdy gurdy man
Come singing songs of Love.
Then when the hurdy gurdy man
Come singing songs of Love.
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy, he sang.
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy, he sang.
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy, he sang.
Wah-wah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Histories of ages past,
Unenlightened shadows cast.
Down through all eternity,
The crying of humanity.
'Tis then when the hurdy gurdy man
Come singing the songs of Love.
Then when the hurdy gurdy man
Come singing the song of Love.
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy, he sang.
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy, he sang.
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy, he sang.
When I wrote this song I was in India with four Beatles, one beach boy and mia farrow.
We were gathered together one day in the Maharishi's bungalow, these four Beatles,
One beach boy and mia farrow.
There was an embarassing silence in the room. Maharishi he sat crosslegged on the floor,
on his disc
As was his wold. And John Lennon, the wit and the humorous, he decided to break the the
silence so he
Walked up to the Maharishi as he sat on the floor and he patted him on the head and he
said:
"There's a good Guru!"
We all laughed and Maharashi laughed the loudest.
Later that night as we were gathered together on the roof of our bungalow, under the
tropical Indian stars,
We brought out the guitars and I started to write this song. It went like this:
Oo-oo-oo,
Oo-oo-oo.
And George Harrison he turned to me and he said:
"I could write a verse for that song, Donovan."
And he did, but I never recorded it!
But would you like to hear that long lost verse of George?
Yeah!
Okay, George wrote, I love George, he said this:
When the Truth gets buried deep
Beneath the thousand years of sleep
Time demands a turn around
And once again the Truth is found.
Yeah, George!
Awakening the hurdy gurdy man
Who comes singing songs of Love.
Then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man
They come singing songs of Love.
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy, he sang.
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy, he sang.
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy, he sang.
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurd.
