MY BRAVE FACE
By Paul McCartney and Declan MacManus
My brave, my brave, my brave face.
I've been living in style,
Unaccustomed as I am
To the luxury life,
I've been hitting the town
And it didn't hit back.
I've been doing the rounds,
Unaccustomed as I am
To the time on my hands.
Now I don't have to tell anybody
When I'm gonna get back.
Ever since you went away
I've had this sentimental inclination
Not to change a single thing.
As I pull the sheets back on the bed,
I want to go bury my head in your pillow.
Now that I'm alone again, I can't stop breaking down again,
The simplest things set me off again,
Take me to that place
Where I can't find my brave face,
Where I can't find my brave face,
My brave, my brave, my brave face.
My brave face.
I've been living a lie,
Unaccustomed as I am
To the work of a housewife.
I've been breaking up
Dirty dishes and been throwing them away.
Ever since you left I have been trying to
Compose a "Baby, will you please come home" note meant for you.
As I clear away another untouched TV dinner
From the table I laid for two.
ROUGH RIDE
By Paul McCartney
I needed loving, I needed a friend,
I needed something that would be there in the end.
On a rough ride to heaven,
Wanna get inside, what will I do?
Oh, on a rough ride to heaven,
I wanna get inside to be with you.
I knew you'd help me (help me),
I knew you could (oo).
You knew I didn't want to be misunderstood.
On a rough ride to heaven
Wanna be inside, what'll I do? (to be with you)
Oh, on a rough ride to heaven,
I wanna be inside, to be with you.
Oh.
Come on, babe, come on, people!
I'm not asking for an easy passage,
So I hope you understand.
I'm not after any special treatment,
But i Iouldn't mind a hand.
On a rough ride,
On a rough ride.
(Rough ride) To heaven,
If I wanna get inside, what will I do?
What will I do? what will I do?
Rough ride.
Hey, rough ride, hey, rough ride.
Yeah, rough ride to heaven,
I wanna get inside, what will I do? (to be with you)
Yeah, on a rough ride to heaven, oh!
I wanna get inside to be with you.
On a rough ride to heaven,
I wanna get inside (hey, rough ride),
Wanna be with you, oo.
Rough ride to heaven,
Oo, I wanna be inside to be with you.
On a rough ride to heaven,
I wanna get inside to be with you.
YOU WANT HER TOO
By Paul McCartney and Declan MacManus
She makes me go so wrong,
Yeah, you kept me awake, you know you did.
I've loved her, oh, so long.
So why don't you come right out and say it, stupid?
She makes me do things I don't wanna do,
I don't know why I should be telling you.
I know that you want her too.
My intentions are quite sincere,
That's not what you said the other night.
And all you can do is sneer,
Go ahead and kid yourself, you're right.
I've got a better chance than you do,
I know that you want her too.
You're such a hopeless romantic,
She told me you're so predictable and nice,
She only did you a favour once or twice (once or), once or twice.
She makes me go so wrong.
So why don't you lie back and enjoy it?
Oh, my conscience is clear and strong.
Yes, she says I'm just the boy for it.
I know that you want her too,
I know that you want her too,
I know that you want her too.
DISTRACTIONS
By Paul McCartney
What is this thing in life
That persuades me to spend time away from you?
If you can answer this, you can have the moon.
This is the place to be,
Anyway you can see there's a lovely view.
Why are there always so many other things to do?
Distractions,
Like butterflies are buzzing 'round my head,
When I'm alone, I think of you
And the life we'd lead if we could only be free
From these distractions.
Uh, uh, uh, uh.
The postman's at the door,
While the telephone rings on the kitchen wall.
Pretend we're not at home and they'll disappear.
I want to be with you,
Tell me what I can do, nothing is too small,
Away from all this jazz we could do anything at all.
Distractions,
Like butterflies are buzzing 'round my head,
When I'm alone, I think of you
And the things we'd do if we could only be through
With these distractions.
I'll find a peaceful place
Far away from the noise of a busy day.
Where we can spend our nights counting shooting stars.
WE GOT MARRIED
By Paul McCartney
Going fast, coming soon,
We made love in the afternoon.
Found a flat, after that
We got married.
Working hard for the dream,
Scoring goals for the other team.
Times were bad, we were glad
We got married.
Mm-mm-mm.
Like the way you open up your hearts to each other,
When you find a meeting of the minds.
Just as well, love was all we ever wanted,
It was all we ever had.
Further on in the game,
Waiting up till the children came.
Place your bets, no regrets,
We got married,
Mm, we got married,
We got married, yeah.
Nowadays every night
Flashes by at the speed of light.
Living life, loving wife,
We got married.
I love the things that happen when we start to discover
Who we are and what we're living for.
Oh, just because love was all we ever wanted,
It was all we ever had.
Hey,
Take it away!
It's not just a loving machine (it doesn't work out),
It doesn't work out if you don't work at it...
PUT IT THERE
By Paul McCartney
Give me your hand I'd like to shake it,
I want to show you I'm your friend.
You'll understand if I can make it clear,
It's all that matters in the end.
Put it there if it weighs a ton,
That's what a father said to his younger son.
I don't care if it weighs a ton,
As long as you and I are here, put it there.
Long as you and I are here, put it there.
If there's a fight I'd like to fix it,
I hate to see things go so wrong.
The darkest night and all it's mixed emotions,
Is getting lighter, sing along.
FIGURE OF EIGHT
By Paul McCartney
Well, you've got me dancing in a figure of eight,
Don't know if I'm coming or going, I'm early or late.
Round and round the ring I go,
I wanna know, I wanna know.
Hey, why can't we travel a continuous line?
Make love reliable covenant all the time.
Up and down the hills I go,
I got to know, I got to know.
Is it better to love one another
Than to go for a walk in the dark?
Is it better to love than to give in to hate?
Yeah, we'd better take good care of each other,
Avoid slipping back off the straight and narrow,
It's better by far than getting stuck
In a figure of eight.
Well, figure it out for yourself, little girl,
It don't go nowhere at all.
It's nothing more than a tape loop in a big dance hall.
Oh now!
(You've got me running in a figure of eight)
(Don't know if I'm coming or going, early or late)
Early or late.
Round and round I go,
I wanna know, I wanna know.
Say (is it better to love one another than to go for a walk in the dark?
Is it better to love than to give in to hate?)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Yes, we'd better take good care of one another
And avoid slipping back off the straight and narrow,
It's better by far than getting stuck
In a figure of eight.
THIS ONE
By Paul McCartney
This one, this one, this one, this one.
Did I ever take you in my arms,
Look you in the eye, tell you that I do?
Did I ever open up my heart,
Let you look inside?
If I never did it, I was only waiting
For a better moment that didn't come.
There never could be a better moment
Than this one, this one.
The swan is gliding above the ocean,
A God is riding upon his back.
How calm the water and bright the rainbow
Fade this one to black.
Did I ever touch you on the cheek,
Say that you were mine, thank you for the smile?
Did I ever knock upon your door
And try to get inside?
What opportunities did we allow to flow by
Feeling like the timing wasn't quite right?
What kind of magic might have worked if we had stayed calm,
Couldn't I have given you a better life?
Did you ever take me in your arms,
Look me in the eye, tell me that you do?
Did I ever open up my heart,
Let you look inside?
The swan is gliding (is gliding) above the ocean (above the ocean),
A god is riding (a god is riding) upon his back (on his back).
How calm the water (calm the water) and bright the rainbow (bright the rainbow)
Fade this swan to black.
The swan is gliding, ooh,
A god is riding, ooh,
How calm the water,
Bright, bright the rainbow, ooh.
DON'T BE CARELESS LOVE
By Paul McCartney and Declan MacManus
Burn the midnight lamp
Down until the dawn,
I'll keep watch until I'm sure your coming home.
Shadows play and flicker on the bedroom wall
They turn into a bad dream overnight,
Something could be terribly wrong.
Don't be careless, love,
Don't be careless, love,
Don't be, don't be careless.
In my dream you're running nowhere,
Ev'ry step you've taken turns to glue,
Walking down a spiral staircase,
Falling through, falling through,
Don't be careless, love,
Be careless, love.
The lamp burns down and out
I'm getting pretty tired of this.
I feel so bad, something might be going amiss.
I won't be there so look out for yourself,
You're getting in deep whatever you do,
Don't let me go back to sleep.
Don't be careless, love, uh,
Don't be careless, love,
Don't be, don't be careless.
Saw your face in the morning paper,
Saw your body rolled up in a rug.
Chopped up into two little pieces by some thug.
Don't be careless, love,
Be careless, love.
But in the morning light
When I wake up again,
You're by my side and that's the way it's always been.
But in the dark,
Your mind plays funny tricks on you,
Your mind plays funny tricks on you,
Your mind plays funny tricks on you.
Don't be careless, love.
THAT DAY IS DONE
By Paul McCartney and Declan MacManus
I feel such sorrow, I feel such shame.
I know I won't arrive on time
Before whatever out there is gone.
What can I do?
That day is done.
It's just a promise that I made,
I said I'd walk in her parade.
Hot scalding tears I thought would flow,
Still in my heart, they'll never show.
That day is done, that day is done,
You know where I've gone,
I won't be coming back,
That day is done.
Well, I recall the time and place
When they announced her precious face.
I thought at once my heart would burst,
Still ev'ry time is like the first.
There was applause when she stepped up,
I wish that I could interrupt.
I made no sign, I made no sound,
I know I must stay underground.
That's why she walks, or so they say,
She always knew just what I needed.
Now if she would just look my way
One time before they proceed.
She sprinkles flowers in the dirt,
That's when a thrill becomes a hurt.
I know I'll never see her face,
She walks away from my resting place.
Well, you know where I've gone,
I won't be coming back,
That day is done.
HOW MANY PEOPLE
By Paul McCartney
Ah, yeah.
Yes, how many, yeah.
How many people stand in a line?
How many people never get a chance to shine?
If you can tell me, I'll gladly listen.
How many people have died?
One too many right now for me,
I wanna be happy, I wanna be free, yeah.
One too many right now for me,
I wanna see ordinary people living peacefully.
How many people (ah) go for a ride? (ah)
How many people (ah) never make it through to the other side? (ah)
If you can tell me (ah), I'll gladly listen (ah).
How many people (ah) have cried?
One too many right now for me, yeh, for me,
I wanna be happy, I wanna be free, yeah.
Yeah, well, one too many right now for me.
I want to see ordinary people living peacefully, yeah-hey-hey.
Oh now, hey now, now, hey now, now, hey now, hey!
How many people (ah) will it take? (ah)
How many people (ah) for goodness sake? (ah)
How many people?
One too many!
One too many, right now!
Dedicated to the memory of Chico Mendes, Brazilian rain forest campaigner.
MOTOR OF LOVE
By Paul McCartney
I can't get over your love,
No matter how hard life seems,
There's a light in my dreams, thanks to you.
My friends keep asking me why
There's such a smile on my face,
There's a home at my place, thanks to you.
I don't want anything from you (I don't want, I don't want anything from you),
Turn on your motor of love (turn on your motor of love).
Motor of love, motor of love,
Heavenly father, look down from above.
I can't get over your powerful motor of love.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
(Your motor of love, your motor of love, your motor of love)
I can't get over your love,
No matter how lost I feel,
I know my love is real, thanks to you.
You simply reached out your hand
And touched me deep in my soul,
I came in out of the cold, thanks to you.
I won't steal anything from you (I won't steal, I won't steal anything from you),
You give me more than enough (you give me more).
There was a time when I was down and counted out.
Well, I remember I felt so bad, I nearly threw away,
Nearly threw away the keys, oh, no, no, no, no.
Powerful motor, stronger than ocean,
Constantly turning over and over.
Oo.
Over and over (your motor of love, your motor of love, your motor of love, your motor of love)
Powerful motor.
OU EST LE SOLEIL
By Paul McCartney
Ou est ou, ou,
Ou est ou, ou,
Ou.
Ou est le soleil,
Ou est le soleil,
Dans la tete,
Dans la tete,
Ou est le soleil,
Dans la tete,
Travaillez.
Na-na-na-na-na-na...
(Ou est) Ou est (le soleil) le soleil,
(Ou est) Ou est (le soleil) le soleil,
(Dans la tete) Dans la tete (dans la tete),
Dans la tete,
(Ou est) Ou est (le soleil) le soleil,
(Dans la tete) Dans la tete,
Travaillez.
