POOR LITTLE GIRL
By George Harrison
Poor little girl,
With her head in the air,
There's a poorly sick world all around you.
Poor horny boy,
One thing on his mind,
That poor little girl, he must find you.
There's a whole lotta love,
It's shaking inside of me
And I must figure out why it's there.
There's a bottomless heart,
That's hooked into all of you
And it's wondering how much you care.
Poor little girl,
Whole in her heart,
There's a poorly sick world all around you.
There's a whole lotta love (whole lotta love),
It's shaking inside of me (whole lotta love)
And I must figure out why it's there.
There's a bottomless heart (whole lotta love),
That's hooked into all of you (whole lotta love)
And it's wondering how much you care.
Poor little boy,
Head in a whirl,
There's a phony slick world all around you.
That poor little girl,
With her head in the air,
That poor little boy, he must find you.
There's a whole lotta love (whole lotta love),
Shaking inside of me (whole lotta love)
Must figure out why it's still there.
There's a bottomless heart (whole lotta love),
Hooked into all of you (whole lotta love)
And it's wondering how much you care.
There's a need and desire I have (whole lotta love)
To express what's inside of me (whole lotta love),
Must figure out while it's still there.
And an endless amount of (whole lotta love),
Of a joy that you touch me with (whole lotta love),
Though it's almost too much for me to bear.
Poor little girl.
BLOW AWAY
By George Harrison
Day turned black, sky ripped apart,
Rained for a year 'til it dampened my heart.
Cracks and the leaks, the floorboard caught rot,
About to go down, I had almost forgot.
All I got to do is to, to love you,
All I got to be is-a be happy.
All it's got to take is some warmth to make it
Blow away, blow away, blow away.
Sky cleared up, day turned to bright,
Closing both eyes, now the head filled with light.
Hard to remember the state I was in,
Instant amnesia, yang to the yin.
Wind blew in, cloud was dispersed,
Rainbows appearing, the pressures were burst.
Breezes a-singing, now feeling good,
The moment had passed like I knew that it should.
Uh, uh, all I got to do is to, to love you,
All I got to be is-a be happy.
All it's got to take is some warmth to make it
Blow away, blow away, blow away, uh, uh.
THAT'S THE WAY IT GOES
By George Harrison
There's a man talking on the radio,
What he's saying, I don't really know.
Seems he lost some stocks and shares,
Stops and stares.
He's afraid I know.
That's the way it goes.
There's a man talking of the promised land,
He'll acquire it with some krugerand.
Subdivide and deal it out,
Feel his clout,
He can stoop so low.
And that's the way it goes.
There's an actor who hopes to fit the bill,
Sees a shining city on a hill.
Step up close and see he's blind,
Wined and dined,
All he has is pose.
And that's the way it goes.
There's a fire that burns away the lies,
Manifesting in the spiritual eye.
Though you won't understand the way I feel,
You conceal
All there is to know.
That's the way it goes.
That's the way it goes...
COCKAMAMIE BUSINESS
By George Harrison
Bust my back on the levy,
Broke my strings on the BBC
Found the chops on Eel Pie Island,
Paid my dues at the marquee.
Slagged off by the N.M.E.,
Lost my stash, my virginity
In this cockamamie business.
Got my face on Ed Sullivan,
Broke my heart on the soul train.
Introduced to bad company,
Lost cells down the brain drain.
And before I could mend,
Lost the missus, missed the girlfriend
In this cockamamie business.
Now we like to air condition,
Though the air has no ozone ring.
Still they're chopping down the forest
For McDonald's and the burger king.
Eating cows with such persistence,
Doesn't offer much resistance
To this cockamamie business.
There are too many things
Stressing out the nervous system.
Girls you used to know,
The fellas that may kissed 'em.
Some got rabies, some got fleas,
Some got incurable diseases
From this cockamamie business.
Cockamamie business.
Now ev'rybody's after
As many points as they can get,
As long as it's not them that has to pay,
No one really mind the debt.
5-star actors, tax inspectors,
Film producers and directors
With their cockamamie business.
Cockamamie business.
Well, you do what you can,
We can't do much more that
(No, you can't do what he just said)
Some days you're pretty sharp,
On other days you feel half dead
(While you make your daily bread)
Didn't want to be a star,
Wanted just to play guitar
In this cockamamie business.
Cockamamie business,
Cockamamie business,
Cockamamie business,
This cockamamie business,
Cockamamie business,
That cockamamie business.
WAKE UP MY LOVE
By George Harrison
Here I go again,
Hear that knockin', won't you let me in?
Only want that same old thing,
Yet it's me here, ring, ring, ring.
I want your love,
Wake up, my love and let it in.
Well, you know it's me out here,
Can't give up now, let us make that clear.
All I've had's the run around,
Though I'm barking like some hound.
I want your love,
Wake up, my love and let it in.
My life's been so many ways,
Too much darkness gets me crazed.
All around us people fight,
Christ, I'm looking for some light.
Inside your love,
Wake up, my love and let it in.
I don't have no friends of mine
Who can swing me down that vine.
Not much sense in what they do,
That is why i'm calling you.
Inside my love,
Wake up, my love and let it in.
Wake up, my love,
Wake up, my love and let it in.
Oh, I need you, Lord,
Oh, I need you more,
With this emptiness outside,
You know, Lord, it drives me wild.
I got tired of wrong and right,
It can seem I need your light.
And that's me knocking on your door,
And it's you I'm looking for.
Oh, Lord!
Oh, Lord!
Wake up, my love, let it in.
Wake up, my love,
Wake up, my love.
LIFE ITSELF
By George Harrison
You are the one, you are my love,
You send the rain and bring the sun.
You stand alone and speak the truth,
You are the breath of life itself, oh yes, you are.
You are the one, you're in my dream,
I hold you there in high esteem.
I need you more each step I take,
You are the love in life itself, oh yes, you are,
You are the one.
You are the one that I'd die for
And you're all that is real.
You are the essence of that which
We taste, touch and feel.
You are the one, no matter what,
You are the real love that I've got.
You are my friend and when life's through,
You are the light in death itself, oh yes, you are,
You are the one.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
They call you Christ, Vishnu, Buddha,
Jehovah, our Lord,
You are Govindam, Bismillah,
Creator of all.
You are the one, you are my love,
You send the rain and bring the sun.
You stand alone and speak the truth,
You are the breath of life itself, oh yes, you are,
The breath of life itself, oh yes, you are.
Ah.
The one that I'd die for,
You're all that is real.
GOT MY MIND SET ON YOU
By Rudy Clark
I got my mind set on you,
I got my mind set on you,
I got my mind set on you,
Got my mind set on you.
But it's gonna take money,
A whole lotta spending money,
It's gonna take plenty of money to do it right, child.
It's gonna take time,
Whole lotta precious time,
It's gonna take patience and time, mm-mm,
To do it, to do it, to do it,
To do it, to do it, to do it right, child.
And this time I know it's for real,
The feelings that I could feel.
I know if I put my mind to it,
I know that i really can do it.
I got my mind set on you,
Set on you.
I got my mind set on you,
Set on you.
It's gonna take time,
Whole lotta precious time,
It's gonna take patience and time, mm-mm,
To do it, to do it, to do it,
To do it, to do it, to do it right.
(Set on you, set on you)
(Set on you, set on you)
(Set on you, set on you)
Set on you, set on you.
I set my mind on you.
It's gonna set on you.
CRACKERBOX PALACE
By George Harrison
I was so young when I was born,
My eyes could not yet see.
And by the time of my first dawn,
Somebody holding me.
They said:
I welcome you to crackerbox palace,
We've been expecting you.
You bring such joy in crackerbox palace,
No matter where you roam,
Know our love is true.
While growing up, or trying to,
Not knowing where to start.
I looked around for someone who
May help reveal my heart.
And someone said:
While you're a part of crackerbox palace,
Do what the rest all do.
Or face the fact that crackerbox palace,
May have no other choice than to deport you.
And we welcome you to crackerbox palace,
We've been expecting you.
You bring such joy in crackerbox palace,
No matter where you roam,
Know our love is true.
It's true, it's true.
Sometimes are good, sometimes are bad,
That's all a part of life.
And standing in between them all,
I met a mister grief.
And he said:
I welcome you to crackerbox palace,
Was not expecting you.
Let's rap and tap at crackerbox palace,
Know that the lord is well and inside of you.
You bring such joy in crackerbox palace,
No matter where you roam,
Know our love,
Know our love is true.
CLOUD NINE
By George Harrison
Have my love,
It fits you like a glove.
Join my dream, tell me yes,
Bail out should there be a mess,
The pieces you don't need are mine.
Take my time,
I'll show you cloud nine.
Take my smile and my heart,
They were yours from the start,
The pieces to omit are mine.
Have my love,
Use it while it does you good.
Share my highs but the times that he hurts, pay no mind,
Those pieces you don't need are mine.
I'll see you there on cloud nine.
Take my hope,
Maybe even share a joke.
If there's good to be shown,
You may make it all your own
And if you want to quit that's fine.
While you're out looking for cloud nine.
Mm-mm-mm.
Oo, cloud nine.
HERE COMES THE MOON
By George Harrison
Ev'rybody's talking up a storm,
Act like they don't noticed it,
But here it is and here it comes.
Here comes the moon, the moon, the moon,
The moon, the moon.
Here comes the moon, the moon, the moon,
The moon, the moon, oh yeah.
Impulse always quickens when it's full
As it turns my head around me,
Yes, it does and here it comes.
God's gift I see that's moving up there into the night.
Though dark, the mirror in the sky reflects us our light.
Looks like a little brother to the sun,
Or mother to the stars at night,
And here it is and here it comes.
Breath is always taken when it's new,
Enhance upon the clouds around it,
Yes, it is and here it comes.
Here comes the moon, the moon, the moon,
The moon, the moon.
Here comes the moon, the moon, the moon,
The moon, the moon.
Here comes the moon, the moon, the moon,
The moon, the moon.
Here comes the moon, the moon, the moon,
The moon, the moon, oh yeah, the moon.
Moon.
GONE TROPPO
By George Harrison
There he, sitting in a moonlight,
Not found, livin' no city.
He smile, mucho in a sunshine,
Night life, counting de fruit bat.
Troppo, gone troppo,
Troppo,
It's time you know I gone troppo.
Plant me, in the heliconia,
No thank, meeting de peoples.
Wake me, eata de papaya,
Much hot, not much on the body.
Warm sea, see right to the bottom,
No like, shovelling snowfall.
Good time, drinking on me bottle,
The high wide moreton bay fig.
Quite like, you ain't seen a sunset,
Could be, living in rain hill.
Sun hot, you don't got a backache,
Brown skin and very a peeling.
Gone troppo...
WHEN WE WAS FAB
By George Harrison and Jeff Lynne
One, two...
Back then long time ago when grass was green,
Woke up in a daze,
Arrived like strangers in the night.
(Fab! Doot, doot, doot, doo)
Long time ago when we was fab.
(Fab!)
Back when income tax was all we had.
Caressers fleeced you in the morning light,
Casualties at dawn.
And we did it all.
(Fab! Doot, doot, doot, doo)
Long time ago when we was fab.
(Ooooh fab!)
In my world you are my only love (oh, I am).
And while you're in this world,
The fuzz gonna come and claim you.
But you mo better wise,
When the buzz gonna come and take you away.
Take you away.
Take you away.
The microscope that magnified the tears,
Studied warts and all.
Still the life flowed on and on.
(Fab! Doot, doot, doot, doo)
Long time ago when we was fab.
(Fab!)
But it's all over now, baby blue.
(Aah! Doot, doot, doot, fab!)
Long time ago when we was fab.
(Fab!)
Like this pullover you sent to me.
(Oooh fab! Doot, doot, doot, gear!)
(Oooh fab!)
And you really got a hold on me.
(Oooh fab! Doot, doot, doot, gear!)
Long time ago when we was fab.
(Oooh fab!)
LOVE COMES TO EVERYONE
By George Harrison
Go do it, got to go through that door,
There's no easy way out at all.
Still it only takes time
'Til love comes to ev'ryone.
For you who it always seems blue, it all comes,
It never rains but it pours.
Still it only takes time
'Til love comes to ev'ryone.
There in your heart,
Something that's never changing.
Always a part of
Something that's never ageing,
That's in your heart.
It so true, it can happen to you all there,
Knock and it will open wide.
And it only takes time
'Til love comes to ev'ryone.
Love comes to ev'ryone.
To ev'ryone.
ALL THOSE YEARS AGO
By George Harrison
I'm shouting all about love,
While they treated you like a dog.
When you were the one who had made it so clear
All those years ago.
I'm talking all about how to give,
They don't act with much honesty.
But you point the way to the truth when you say
All you need is love.
Living with good or bad,
I always looked to you.
Now we're left cold and sad
By someone, the devil's best friend,
Someone who offended all.
We're living in a bad dream,
They've forgotten all about mankind.
And you were the one they backed up to the wall,
All those years ago.
You were the one who imagined it all,
All those years ago.
All those years ago.
Ooh,
All those years ago.
Deep in the darkest night,
I send out a prayer to you.
Now in the world of light,
Where the spirit free of the lies,
And all else that we despised.
They've forgotten all about god,
He's the only reason we exist.
Yet you were the one that they said was so weird,
All those years ago.
You said it all though not many had ears,
All those years ago.
You had control of our smiles and our tears,
All those years ago.
Uh, all those years ago.
CHEER DOWN
Music by George Harrison, Lyrics by George Harrison and Tom Petty
From the film "Leathal Weapon 2"
I can see by your grin
That you're tremblin' within.
It's all over town, cheer down.
And the smile on your face
Is sometimes out of place,
Don't mind, no frowns, cheer down.
If your hair should fall,
If your shares should crash,
You'll get by even without getting a rash.
There's no tears to be shed (cheer down, cheer down),
I'm gonna love you instead (ah, cheer down),
I want you around, cheer down (cheer down, cheer down).
When your teeth drop out,
You'll get by even without taking a bite.
If your dog should be dead (cheer down, cheer down),
I'm gonna love you instead (ah, cheer down),
The world loves a clown, cheer down (cheer down, cheer down).
I want you around, cheer down (cheer down, cheer down).
Ah.
(Cheer down, ah) Cheer down, baby.
(Cheer down, ah) I want you around.
(Cheer down, down, ah) Cheer down.
(Cheer down, cheer down, ah) It's all over town, cheer down.
(Cheer down, cheer down, ah)
(Cheer down)наверх
