BABY'S REQUEST (2:50)
Say you don't love him, my salamander,
Why did you need him?
Oh no, don't answer, oh no.
I'm getting closer,
I'm getting closer to your heart.
Keeping ahead of the rain on the road,
Watching my windscreen wipers (wipers).
Radio play me a danceable ode,
Cattle beware of snipers (snipers).
When will you see me, my salamander?
Now don't try to tell me,
Oh no, don't answer, oh no.
I'm getting closer,
I'm getting closer to your heart.
Hitting the chisel and making a joint,
Gluing my fingers together (together).
Radio play me a song with a point,
Sailor beware of weather (weather).
Oh, oh.
I'm getting closer, my salamander,
Oh, when will we be there?
Oh no, don't answer, oh no.
I'm getting closer,
I'm getting closer to your heart,
I'm getting closer to your heart,
I'm getting closer to your heart.
Closer, closer...
WE'RE OPEN TONIGHT
By Paul McCartney
We're open tonight for fun,
So bring all your friends, come on.
We're open tonight, come one, come on.
We're opening all our doors,
We're clearing back all the floors.
We're open tonight, come one, come all.
Come on, all, come on.
We're open tonight.
SPIN IT ON
By Paul McCartney
This is it!
Spin it on, don't stop,
Take it back to the top,
'Cause I've got another lot of love for you.
I wanna spin it on.
Spin it on!
Off to the flicks with the piddle in her mix,
To the fair with her hair in curlers.
Her cousin couldn't get down to the pleasure dome,
Her cousin had to spend the night in an aircraft hangar, memories.
Spin it on, don't stop,
Take it back to the top,
'Cause I've got another lot of love for you.
That's why I wanna spin it on.
Spin it on! Spin it on!
Went off to the field with a missionary's zeal
For the life of a wife of a farmer.
Her cousin couldn't get on down to the village hall,
Her cousin had to spend the night on a pinball table, memories.
Spin it on! Spin it on! Spin it on! Spin it on, oh!
I wanna spin it on, spin it on!
AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN
By Denny Laine
Ah, you don't wanna be the little woman,
No, you don't wanna be the little woman I love,
No, no, no, no, I love.
Ah, you don't wanna stay in my school,
You don't wanna be the one that's cool,
You don't wanna be the little woman I love.
You're up all night
And we can let it hang down right (yes, we could).
I say goodbye to all my expectations
The day you walked out of my life.
Winter time is a-coming now,
Give me a sign if you can somehow.
Make it clear where you heading for,
Will I see you some day at my door?
Taking it all in to consideration,
Love's a game I never win.
I've been in very similar situations
Again and again and again.
Ah, you don't wanna stay in my home,
No, you just wanna be on your own,
Well, you don't wanna be the little woman I love.
Take it away!
Oh, damn right!
Ah, yeah, well, things were fine all summer long,
And then things changed, so where did we go wrong?
We can run but we cannot hide
In greener grass on the other side.
Again and again and again...
OLD SIAM, SIR
By Paul McCartney
In a village in Old Siam, sir,
Lived a lady who lost her way.
In an effort to find her man, sir,
She found herself in old U.K.
She waited round in Walthanstow,
She scouted round in Scarborough,
She waited round in Walthanstow,
She skated round in Scarborough.
In a village in Old Eastham, sir,
She met a fellow who made her reel.
Took her rushes to show his mam, sir,
Met his dad at the wedding meal.
In a letter from Old Siam, sir,
Came a terrible tale of woe.
She decided the only answer
Was to get up a pile of dough.
When a relative to her man, sir,
He directed her not to stay.
In a village in Old Siam, sir,
Lived a lady who lost her way.
Walthanstow.
Scarborough.
ARROW THROUGH ME
By Paul McCartney
Ooh, baby,
You couldn't have done a worse thing to me,
If you'd had taken an arrow and runned right through me.
Uh, uh, uh, uh.
Ooh, baby,
A bird in the hand is worth two flying,
But when it came to love I knew you'd be lying.
It could have been a finer fling,
Would have been a major attraction.
With no other thing
Offering a note of distraction.
Come on, get up, get under way and bring your love.
Ooh, baby,
You wouldn't have found a more down hero,
If you'd had started at nothing and counted to zero.
Oo.
It could have been a finer fling,
Flying in a righter direction.
With no other thing
Featuring but love and affection.
Come on, get up, get under way and bring your love.
ROCKESTRA THEME
By Paul McCartney
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, now!
Ooh!
Well, now, why haven't I had any dinner?
Well, well.
No, no, no.
TO YOU
By Paul McCartney
Well, if the same thing happened to you,
Will you still put me through what you put me through?
If it happened to you,
What if it happened to you?
What if it happened?
And the man keep shaking you down,
But you can't get a ride to his side of town.
If it happened to you,
What if it happened to you?
Well, if happened to you?
Keep it out of my shoes,
If you stepping on toes,
Keep it out of my nose.
'Cause if the same thing happened to me,
Well, it won't be as bad as it used to be.
If it happened to you,
If it happened to you?
What if it happened to you, you, you?
What if it happened to you-a, you-a, you?
What if it happened to you, ted?
Well, if it happens to you,
If it happens to you,
Well, if happens to you.
What am I going to do,
If it happened to you-a?
What if happened to you?
Whoa!
If it happened to you...
AFTER THE BALL / MILLION MILES
By Paul McCartney
After the ball, after the ball,
You were the one out in the hall,
You were the one,
The one who would love me after the ball.
Well, I arrived, looked around,
But the room was full of strangers.
Nowhere was a friendly face to be found.
Later on, I awoke,
But the party it was over,
There you were, waiting to bring me 'round.
Mm,
After the ball, after the ball,
You were the one out in the hall,
You were the one,
The one who loved me after the ball.
How many million miles, Deo?
How many million miles, Deo?
When I get up, up, up in the morning,
Oh, Lord, I know.
When I look up, up, up in the evening,
Oh, Lord, I know.
WINTER ROSE / LOVE AWAKE
By Paul McCartney
All through the summer
I have followed you around,
Bring a rose for the winter that's coming,
Now the snow is on the ground.
Winter rose, winter rose,
Shine your light in the air.
Winter rose, winter rose,
Shine your light ev'rywhere.
Love awake, toll the bell,
Tell the world how glad you are.
Love awake to the day,
When we can make our love awake.
Lord knows we need it any time we can get it.
But we forget it every now and then.
But if you don't feel it, later on you'll regret it.
And if we let it,
We could set it free, you and me.
Snow falls in the winter,
Spring brings the rain.
But it's never too long before
The summer comes again,
It always comes again.
Love awake.
THE BROADCAST
Music by Paul McCartney
"The Sport Of Kings" by Ian Hay
"The Little Man" by John Galsworthy
We've got a chance and we'll take it,
We may win or we may lose,
We may even have to cut and run for it.
Well, it won't be the first time I've run
And it won't be the first time I've been caught.
It's the game that matters.
Brother, I am proud to know you.
This is one of the greatest moments I have ever experienced.
I think I'll sense a situation when we all esteemed it
An honour to breathe the rather inferior atmosphere
Of this station here along with our little friend.
I guess we should all go home and treasure the memory of his face
As the whitest thing in our museum of recollection.
And, perhaps, this good woman will also go home
And watch the face of our little brother here.
I'm inspired with a new faith in mankind.
Ladies and gentlemen, I wish to present to you
A sure enough saint who only wants a halo to be transfixed.
Stand right up.
SO GLAD TO SEE YOU HERE
By Paul McCartney
Someone's got a hold tonight,
Someone's got a roll tonight,
Someone's got a wed, action will be red,
Why d'ya wanna worry?
Ah, you're gonna knock 'em dead, oh yeah..
Well, someone's got a show tonight,
Someone's gotta go tonight,
Someone roll your blind, someone turn your mind,
Someone to lift your eyes up
And leaning towards the light, oo.
So glad to see you here,
So glad you could come.
Yeah, so glad to see you here,
Carry on (carry on, carry on),
Carry on (carry on, carry on).
Yeah, yeah!
Ah, we're opened up tonight,
Well in time to make the flight.
Aircraft standing on the runway,
Engine nervously waiting for something to bite.
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Got to roll tonight,
You got to roll tonight,
And some has got it bad, some has got to do it,
You got it better, and there's nothing to it,
No, no, no, no.
Yeah,
Ah, we've opened up tonight,
Someone's got a holy light,
Someone's got the weed, action will be red,
Why d'ya wanna worry?
Ah, you're gonna knock 'em dead.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, wow-wow!
We're open tonight for fun...
BABY'S REQUEST
By Paul McCartney
When the moon lays his head on a pillow,
And the stars settle down for a rest,
Just do me one small favour, I beg you,
Please, play me my baby's request.
It's the song that we heard when we started,
Now the birds have all flown from our nest.
But you could bring back mem'ries, departed,
By playing my baby's request.
My baby said,
That she knows how it goes,
But you're the one who really knows.
So go ahead,
Just one more time and then we'll go to bed.
My baby says...
One more time.
DAYTIME, NIGHTIME SUFFERING
By Paul McCartney
What does she get for all the love she gave you,
There on the ladder of regret?
Mighty river, give her all she gets.
What does she get for all the love she gave you,
There on the ladder of regret?
Daytime, nightime suffering is all she gets.
Where are the prices for the games she entered,
With little chance of much success?
Daytime, nightime suffering is all she gets.
Come on, river, over flow,
Let your love for your people show.
Come on, river, flow through me,
Let your love for your people be.
You are the river, I am the stream,
Flow mighty river to me.
What does it pay to play the leading lady
When like the damsel in distress?
Daytime, nightime suffering is all she gets.
No less (no less), no more (no more),
No sea (no sea), no shore (no shore),
No sand (no sand), no pale (no pale),
No fairytale any more.
Come on, river, flow through me,
Don't be stopped by insanity.
Come on, river, over flow,
Let your love for your neighbours grow.
You are the river, I am the stream,
Flow mighty river through me.
Daytime, nightime suffering is all she gets,
Wow, wow, daytime, nightime suffering is all she gets,
Wow, wow, daytime, twilight time, nightime suffering is all (is all) she gets (she gets).
What does she get for all the love she gave you?
WONDERFUL CHRISTMASTIME
By Paul McCartney
The mood is right, the spirit's up,
We're here tonight and that's enough.
Simply having a wonderful christmastime,
Simply having a wonderful christmastime.
The party's on, the feeling's here,
That only comes this time of year.
Simply having a wonderful christmastime,
Simply having a wonderful christmastime.
Love choir of children sing their song.
Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong, ding,
We're simply having a wonderful christmastime,
Simply having a wonderful christmastime.
Love choir of children sing their song.
They've practised all year long.
The party's on, the spirit's up,
We're here tonight and that's enough.
Oo-oo, simply having a wonderful christmastime,
We're simply having a wonderful christmastime.
