OFF THE GROUND
By Paul McCartney
There must have been a lot of heartache
For you to sink so low.
You must have had a ton of pressure,
Only answer if the answer's no.
I need loving, you need loving too.
Doesn't take a lot to get off the ground.
There must have been a lot of magic
When the world was born.
Let me be the one you wish for,
One you call for, when you're all alone, mm-mm.
I need loving, you need loving too.
Wouldn't take a lot to get off the ground.
Off the ground, la-la-la-la-la-la,
Off the ground, la-la-la-la-la-la.
Fly around, la-la-la-la-la-la,
Fly around, la-la-la-la-la-la.
Hear the sound, hear the sound,
Off the ground, la-la-la-la-la-la,
Off the ground, la-la-la-la-la-la.
Oh.
Though it takes a lot of power
To make a big tree grow,
It doesn't need a pot of knowledge,
For a seed knows what a seed must know, mm-mm.
You need loving (you need loving),
I need loving too (I need loving too).
Doesn't take a lot to get off the ground.
Yeah, yeah, off the ground.
LOOKING FOR CHANGES
By Paul McCartney
I saw a cat with a machine in his brain,
The man who fed him said he didn't feel any pain.
I'd like to see that man take out that machine
And stick it in his own brain.
You know what I mean.
I saw a rabbit with its eyes full of tears,
The lab that owned her had been doing it for years.
Why don't we make them pay for every last eye
That couldn't cry its own tears?
Do you know what I mean?
When I tell you that we'll all be looking for changes (oh-oh),
Changes in the way we treat our fellow creatures (oh-oh).
And we will learn how to grow (learn how to grow)
Yeah, when we're looking for changes, mm-mm.
I saw a monkey that was learning to choke,
A guy beside him gave him cigarettes to smoke.
And ev'rytime that monkey started to cough,
The bastard laughed his head off.
Do you know what I mean?
We're looking for changes,
We're looking for changes,
We're looking for changes in the way we are.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
HOPE OF DELIVERANCE
By Paul McCartney
I will always be hoping, hoping.
You will always be holding,
Holding my heart in your hand.
I will understand.
I will understand some day, one day.
You will understand always,
Always from now until then.
When it will be right, I don't know.
What it will be like, I don't know.
We live in hope of deliverance
From the darkness that surrounds us.
Hope of deliverance,
Hope of deliverance,
Hope of deliverance
From the darkness that surrounds us (from the darkness that surrounds us).
And I wouldn't mind knowing, knowing
That you wouldn't mind going,
Going along with my plan.
I will understand.
MISTRESS AND MAID
By Paul McCartney and Declan MacManus
She said, "Come in my dear,
You're looking tired tonight,
Your bath is drawn, let me loosen your tie
And fix you your usual drink, ah"
He settles back, takes a magazine,
Kicks off his shoes as he studies the form
Of every appealing soubrette.
But where are the flowers that he used to bring?
Ev'ry endearing remark
Reminds her of passionate promises,
That he only made in the dark.
In her bed,
She wants to shout at the back of his head,
Look at me, look at me, look at me, I'm afraid.
See what it's come to,
I'm just your mistress and maid.
The wine is warm, but the dinner is cold.
The look in his eye tells her it won't be long
'Till the girls on the page come to life.
And they'll get the flowers that he used to bring
With ev'ry endearing remark,
And all of the passionate promises
He'll never fulfil in the dark.
In their bed,
She wants to shout at the back of his head,
Look at me, look at me, now that I'm not afraid.
See what it's come to,
I'm not your mistress and maid.
See what it's come to,
I'm not your mistress and maid.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Yeah, mistress and mistress and mistress and maid.
Mistress and maid,
Mistress and maid,
Mistress and maid.
I OWE IT ALL TO YOU
By Paul McCartney
Last night you helped me through,
Took me to the lovers zone.
I saw there, images
Projected on a wall of stone.
I stood inside egyptian temples,
I looked into eternal gardens,
Lay on the shores of distant islands,
Listening to the sea birds song of joy.
Oh, I owe it all to you,
You make me happy.
Oh, I owe it all to you.
Late last night we were right
Into some exotic scene.
Ev'rywhere images
Appearing on a giant screen.
I stood inside a glass cathedral,
I looked into the golden canyon,
Lay by the lakes of holy water
Glistening like a diamond in the light.
Mm, I love you so.
Egyptian temples,
Mm, eternal gardens,
Distant islands,
Listening to the sea birds song of joy.
To you, oo.
I owe it all to you.
BIKER LIKE AN ICON
By Paul McCartney
There was a girl who loved a biker,
She used to follow him across America.
But the biker didn't like her.
She didn't care, she still persisted,
Though her brother said she was twisted.
And the family said they wouldn't miss her anyway.
She loved the biker like an icon,
Gazing at his picture ev'ryday, mm-mm.
She loved the biker like an icon,
Slowly watching precious water drip away.
She did her best to fix a meeting,
She pulled it off one night in Hollywood.
When he met her, he couldn't let her get away.
He didn't ask for her permission,
He took advantage of her position,
But he was always her ambition anyway.
She loved her biker like an icon,
Gazing at his picture ev'ryday, mm-mm.
She loved her biker like an icon,
Slowly watching precious water drip away.
The family tried so hard to find her,
They showed her picture across America.
But no trace of her sweet face was ever found.
PEACE IN THE NEIGHBOURHOOD
By Paul McCartney
Best thing I ever saw
Was a man who loved his wife.
In a place where things were good
I felt peace in the neighbourhood.
That feeling in the air
Something was definitely there.
It was a time when things were good
I felt peace in the neighbourhood.
I was there, I really was,
At the centre of a love vibration.
People sharing with their friends,
Helping each other out.
Peace in the neighbourhood,
Helping each other out.
Then I woke up from my dream
To see things as they really are.
People struggling to survive,
How can peace hope to stay alive?
Well, I was there... I felt so good (he felt so good),
At the centre of a love vibration.
People caring for their world,
Helping each other out (helping each other).
Peace in the neighbourhood,
Helping each other out.
Peace in the neighbourhood,
Helping each other out.
Oo.
Yeah,
Best thing I ever saw,
I saw a man who loved his wife.
Peace in the neighbourhood,
Peace in the neighbourhood,
Peace in the neighbourhood.
GOLDEN EARTH GIRL
By Paul McCartney
Golden earth girl, female animal,
Sings to the wind, resting at sunset, oo-oo,
In a mossy nest, sensing moonlight in the air,
Moonlight in the air.
Good clear water, friend of wilderness,
Sees in the pool her own reflection, oo-oo.
In another world
Someone over there is counting.
Fish in a sunbeam,
In eggshell seas.
Fish in a sunbeam,
Eggshell finish.
Natures lover climbs the primrose hill,
Smiles at the sky, watching the sunset, oo-oo,
From a mossy nest.
As she falls asleep she's counting.
THE LOVERS THAT NEVER WERE
By Paul McCartney and Declan MacManus
I have always needed somebody girl,
But I close the doors to keep out the world.
But for you I would be here all alone,
Locked in a photograph.
All of the clocks have run down.
Lover beware.
We'll be the lovers that never were.
I hang patiently on every word you send,
Will we ever be much more than just friends?
As for you, you sit there playing this game,
You keep me waiting
When all of the clocks have run down,
All over the world.
We'll be the lovers that never were.
For as long as the sun shines in somebody's eyes,
I believe in you, baby, so don't tell me lies.
For as long as the trees throw down blossoms and leaves,
I know there will be a parade of unpainted dreams.
And I know, dear, how much it's going to hurt,
If you still refuse to get your hands dirty.
So you, you must tell me something, I love you,
Say goodbye or anything.
All of the clocks have run down.
Time's at an end.
If we can't be lovers we'll never be friends.
GET OUT OF MY WAY
By Paul McCartney
Crash, bang, wallop, I'm a lover again,
I've got my eyes on the road and I'm feeling no pain.
I've found a real fine woman,
I'm heading to see her.
Bye, bye melancholy, listen to me,
We had a long, long ride, but it isn't to be.
I've got a real fine woman,
I'm heading to see her now.
Get out of my way, get out of my life.
I don't need anybody to tell me how to be right.
Now, don't try to stop me, I've got the answer,
I won't need anybody except my woman tonight, yeh-yeh!.
I can't help it if I'm starting to smile,
I've got a full gas tank and it's only a mile.
'Till I'll be with my little woman,
I'm ready to see her.
So I say, bye, bye melancholy, listen to me,
We had a long, long ride, but it isn't to be.
I've got a real fine woman
I'm heading to see her now.
Yeah, get out of my way,
Baby, get out of my life.
Yeah, I won't need anybody except my woman tonight.
Yeah! All right!
WINEDARK OPEN SEA
By Paul McCartney
Open up your heart,
If you want to set me free.
Full of love, your love.
Sailing on a winedark open sea,
Sailing on a winedark open sea.
Lighten up my heart,
Leave it to the evening breeze.
Give me love, your love.
Sailing on a winedark open sea,
Sailing on a winedark open sea.
Oh my, I feel love for you,
Spreading through my body I remember how
We can be so loving
I feel love for you now,
I feel love for you right now.
Loosen up, my heart,
Let me have some time to be
With a love, oh, my love.
Sailing on a winedark open sea,
Sailing on a winedark open sea.
We're sailing on a winedark open sea,
Sailing on a winedark open sea,
Sailing on a winedark open sea,
Sailing on a winedark open sea.
Oh, I feel love for you now,
I feel love for you right now,
I feel love for you now,
Baby, I feel love for you right now.
We're in the ship now.
C'MON PEOPLE
By Paul McCartney
Well, we're going to, yeah, we're going to
Get it right this time.
We're going to, really going to,
To raise it to the sky.
People are ready to forgive a few mistakes,
But let's get started, form a party,
Don't you know how long it takes?
C'mon people, let the fun begin,
We've got a future and it's rushing in.
Call all the minstrels from the ancient shrine,
Pass down the message that it's right this time.
Well, I'm trying to, yeah, I'm crying to
Lay it on the line.
We're trying to, really dying to
Get it right this time.
So many yearning for the way it's gonna be,
Believe it when you see it happening to you,
You know it's real.
C'mon people, let the world begin,
We've got a future and it's charging in.
We'll make the best of all we have, and more,
We'll do what never has been done before.
Oh yeah,
Oh yeah, oh yeah.
Well, I'm going to, yeah, I'm going to
Get it right this time.
I'm going to, really going to
Raise it to the sky.
I must admit I may have made a few mistakes,
But let's get started, form a party,
Don't you know how long it takes?
C'mon people, let the world begin.
We've got a future and it's charging in.
