DISC ONE
I WANT TO TELL YOU
By George Harrison
Recorded live in Japan, December 1991
I want to tell you,
My head is filled with things to say.
When you're here,
All those words, they seem to slip away.
When I get near you,
The games begin to drag me down.
It's all right,
I'll make you maybe next time around.
But if I seem to act unkind,
It isn't me, it's just my mind
That is confusing things.
I want to tell you,
I feel hung up and I don't know why.
I don't mind,
I could wait forever, I've got time.
I've got time (oh!)
Sometimes I wish I knew you well
Then I could speak my mind and tell you,
Maybe you'd understand.
I've got time,
I've got time,
I've got time (oh yeah!)
OLD BROWN SHOE
By George Harrison
Recorded live in Japan, December 1991
I want a love that's right,
But right is only half of what's wrong.
I want a short-haired girl
Who sometimes wears it twice as long.
Now I'm steppin' out this old brown shoe,
Baby, I'm in love with you.
So glad you came here,
Won't be the same now,
I'm telling you.
You know you picked me up
From where some try to drag me down.
And when I see your smile
Replacing ev'ry thoughtless frown.
Got me escaping from the zoo,
Oh, baby, I'm in love with you.
I'm so glad you came here,
It won't be the same now,
I'm telling you.
If I'll grow up I'll be a singer,
Wearing rings on ev'ry finger.
Not worrying what they or you'll say,
Live and love and maybe someday,
Who knows, baby,
You may comfort me (yeah).
I may appear to be imperfect,
But my love is something you can't reject.
Changing faster than the weather,
You and me should get together,
Who knows, baby,
You may comfort me.
I want that love of yours
To miss that love is something I'd hate.
I'll make an early start,
Making sure that I'm not late.
For your sweet top lip I'm in the queue,
Oh, baby, I'm in love with you.
So glad you came here,
It won't be the same now,
I'm telling you.
So glad you came here,
It won't be the same now,
I'm telling you.
So glad you came here,
It won't be the same now,
When I'm with you.
Oh yeah, yeah!
TAXMAN
By George Harrison
Recorded live in Japan, December 1991
One, two, three, four... Hrmm! One, two (three, four!)
Let me tell you how it will be,
There's one for you, nineteen for me.
'Cause I'm the taxman,
Yeah, I'm the taxman.
Should five percent appear too small,
Be thankful I don't take it all.
'Cause I'm the taxman,
Yeah, I'm the taxman.
(If you drive a car, car) I'll tax the street,
(If you try to sit, sit) I'll tax your seat,
(If you get too cold, cold) I'll tax the heat,
(If you take a walk, walk) I'll tax your feet.
Taxman!
'Cause I'm the taxman,
Yeah, I'm the taxman.
Don't ask me what I want it for (ah ha, Mister Major),
If you don't want to pay some more (ah ha, Mister Neil).
'Cause I'm the taxman,
Yeah, I'm the taxman.
If I reduce it down you'll see (ah ha, Boris Jeltsin),
You'll get back more in the vat (ah ha, Mister Bush)
'Cause I'm the taxman,
Yeah, I'm the taxman.
(If you get a head, head) I'll tax your hat,
(If you get a pet, pet) I'll tax your cat,
(If you wipe your feet, feet) I'll tax your mat,
(If you're over-weight, weight) I'll tax your fat.
Now my advise to those who die (Taxman),
Declare the pennies on your eyes (Taxman).
'Cause I'm the taxman,
Yeah, I'm the taxman.
And you're working for no one but me.
(Taxman)
Yes, I'm the taxman,
Yeah, I'm the taxman.
GIVE ME LOVE (GIVE ME PEACE ON EARTH)
By George Harrison
Recorded live in Japan, December 1991
Give me love,
Give me love,
Give me peace on earth.
Give me light,
Give me life,
Keep me free from birth.
Give me hope,
Help me cope with this heavy load,
Trying to touch and reach you with heart and soul.
Om-mm, my Lord.
Please, take hold of my hand,
That I might understand you.
Won't you, please, oh won't you
Give me love,
Give me love,
Give me peace on earth.
Give me light,
Give me life,
Keep me free from birth.
Give me hope,
Help me cope with this heavy load,
Trying to touch and reach you with heart and soul.
Ah, give me love,
Give me love,
Give me peace on earth.
Give me light,
Give me life,
Keep me, keep me free from birth.
Now, give me hope,
Help me cope with this heavy load,
Trying to touch and reach you with heart and soul.
Om-mm, my lord.
IF I NEEDED SOMEONE
By George Harrison
Recorded live in Japan, December 1991
If I needed someone to love,
You're the one that I'd be thinking of,
If I needed someone.
If I had some more time to spend,
Then I guess I'd be with you, my friend,
If I needed someone.
Had you come some other day,
It might not have been like this.
But you see now I'm too much in love.
Carve your number on my wall
And maybe you will get a call from me,
If I needed someone.
Ah,
Ah, if I needed someone!
Ah.
SOMETHING
By George Harrison
Recorded live in Japan, December 1991
Something in the way she moves,
Attracts me like no other lover.
Something in the way she woos me.
I don't want to leave her now,
You know I believe, and how.
Somewhere in her smile she knows,
That I don't need no other lover.
Something in her style that shows me.
I don't want to leave her now,
You know I believe, and how.
You're asking me will my love grow,
I don't know, I don't know.
You stick around, it may show,
I don't know, I don't know.
And you're asking me will my love grow,
I don't know, I don't know.
Just stick around, Jack, it may show,
I don't know, I don't know.
Something in the way she knows (something in the way),
And all I have to do is think of her.
Something in the things she shows me.
I don't want to leave her now,
You know I believe, and how.
WHAT IS LIFE
By George Harrison
Recorded live in Japan, December 1991
What I feel, I can't say,
But my love is there for you any time of day.
But if it's not love that you need,
Try my best to make everything succeed.
Tell me, what is my life without your love?
Tell me, who am I without you, by my side?
What I know, I can do,
If I give my love, now to ev'ryone like you.
If it's not love that you need,
Try my best to make ev'rything succeed.
Yeah, what I feel, I can't say,
My love is there for you any time of day.
But if it's not love that you need,
I'll try my best to make ev'rything succeed.
Tell me, what is my life without your love?
Tell me, who am I without you, by my side?
Oh, tell me, what is my life without your love?
Tell me, who am I without you, by my side?
Oh, tell me, what is my life without your love?
Tell me, who am I without you, by my side?
DARK HORSE
By George Harrison
Recorded live in Japan, December 1991
"Like to do a song called 'Dark Hoarse'!"
Well, you thought that you knew where I was and when,
But it looks like you've been foolin' you again.
You thought that you had got me all staked out,
Baby, it looks like I've been breaking out.
I'm a dark horse,
I'm running on a dark race course.
I'm a blue moon,
Since I stepped out of the womb.
I've been a cool jerk,
Just looking for the source.
I'm a dark horse.
Well, they thought that you'd got me in your grip,
Baby, it looks like you was not so smart.
I became too slippery for you,
Let me tell you, that was nothing new.
I'm a dark horse,
I'm running on a dark race course.
I'm a blue moon,
Since I picked up my first spoon.
I've been a cool jerk,
Just looking for his purse.
I'm a dark horse.
Well, you thought that you knew it all along,
Until you started getting me not right.
It seems as if you heard a little late,
But I warned you when we both were at the starting gate.
I'm a dark horse,
And I'm running on a dark race course.
And I'm a blue moon,
Since I stepped from out of the womb.
I've been a cool jerk,
Who's looking for the source.
I'm a dark horse.
And I'm a dark horse,
And I'm running on a dark race course.
And I'm a blue moon,
Since I stepped from out of the womb.
And I've been a cool jerk,
Just cookin' out the source.
I'm a dark horse.
PIGGIES
By George Harrison
Recorded live in Japan, December 1991
Have you seen the little piggies
Crawling in the dirt?
And for all the little piggies
Life is getting worse,
Always having dirt to play around in.
Have you seen the bigger piggies
In their starched white shirts?
You will find the bigger piggies
Stirring up the dirt,
And they always have clean shirts to play around in.
And in their sties with all their backing,
They don't care what goes on around.
And in their eyes there's something lacking,
What they need's a damn good whacking!
Yeah, everywhere there's lots of piggies,
Playing piggy pranks.
And you can see them on their trotters,
Down at the piggy banks,
Paying piggy thanks to thee pig brother.
Well, ev'rywhere there's lots of piggies
Living piggy lives (oh ho!),
You can see them out for dinner
With their piggy wives,
Clutching forks and knives to eat their bacon.
One more time!

I got my mind set on you,
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,
Whole lotta spending money,
Gonna take plenty of money to do it right, child.
And it's gonna take time,
Whole lotta precious time,
Gonna take patience and time, oh yeah,
To do it, to do it, to do it,
To do it, to do it, to do it right, child.

Set on you.
"Thank you very much!"
DISC TWO
CLOUD NINE
By George Harrison
Recorded live in Japan, December 1991
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 (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 (have my love),
Use it while it does you good.
Share my highs but the times that he hurts
Pay no mind.
The pieces you don't need are mine.
And I'll see you there on cloud nine.
(Oo, cloud nine)
Take my hope,
And maybe even share a joke.
And if there's good to be shown,
You may make it all your own,
If you wanna quit, that's fine.
While you're out looking for cloud nine.
(Cloud nine)
HERE COMES THE SUN
By George Harrison
Recorded live in Japan, December 1991
Here comes the sun,
Here comes the sun,
And I say, "It's alright".
Little darling,
It's been a long, cold, lonely winter.
Little darling,
It seems like years since it's been here.
Little darling,
The smiles returning to their faces.
Little darling,
It seems like years since it's been here.
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Little darling,
I see the ice is slowly melting.
Little darling,
It seems like years since it's been clear.
Here comes the sun, doo doo doo doo,
Here comes the sun,
And I say, "It's alright".
It's alright

ALL THOSE YEARS AGO
By George Harrison
Recorded live in Japan, December 1991
Shoutin' all about love,
While they treated you like a dog.
When you were the one who'd made it so clear
All those years ago.
Talkin' 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 and bad,
I always looked up 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.
But you were the one they backed up to the wall,
All those years ago.
Yeah, you were the one who imagined it all
All those years ago.
All those years ago.
And 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 'bout God,
That he's the only reason we exist.
Yet you were the one that they said was so weird,
All those years ago.
Yeh, you said it all though not many had ears,
All those years ago.
And you had control of our smiles and our tears,
All those years ago.
Ah.
All those years ago...
Yeh, you were the one who imagined it all,
All those years ago.
CHEER DOWN
Music by George Harrison, Lyrics by George Harrison and Tom Petty
Recorded live in Japan, December 1991
"We like do a song now, from the film 'South Pacific' and, eh... this one's called 'Cheer Down'"
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).
(Ah)
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)
DEVIL'S RADIO
By George Harrison
Recorded live in Japan, December 1991
Gossip, gossip,
Gossip, gossip,
I heard it in the night,
Words that thoughtless speak.
Like vultures swooping down below
On the devil's radio.
And I heard it through the day,
Airwaves getting filled
With gossip broadcast to and fro
On the, the devil's radio.
Oh yeah, gossip,
Gossip, oh yeah.
He's in the clubs and bars,
Never turns it down.
Talkin' about what he don't know
On the devil's radio.
(He's) in your TV set,
Won't give it a rest.
That soul betraying so and so,
The devil's radio.
It's thick and black like industrial waste,
Pollution of the highest degree.
You wonder why I don't hang out much,
I wonder why you can't see.
He's in the films and songs,
On all your magazines.
It's ev'rywhere that you may go,
The devil's radio.
A serious sign that no one really sees
Quite what bad it can do.
Till it turns you into something cold,
Like an eskimo igloo.
It's all across our lives,
Like a weed it's spread.
'Til nothing else has space to grow,
The devil's radio.
Can creep up in the dark,
Make us hide behind shades.
And buzzing like a dynamo,
The devil's radio.
(Gossip) Now, I heard you on the secret wireless.
(Gossip) You know, the devil's radio, child
Oh yeah, gossip (gossip), gossip (oh yeah).
"Gossip, devil's radio. Don't be a broadcaster".
ISN'T IT A PITY
By George Harrison
Recorded live in Japan, December 1991
Isn't it a pity?
Isn't it a shame?
How we break each other's hearts
And cause each other pain.
How we take each other's love,
Without thinking anymore.
Forgetting to give back,
Isn't it a pity?
Some things take so long,
How do I explain?
When not too many people
Can see we're all the same?
And because of all their tears,
Their eyes can't hope to see
The beauty that surrounds them,
Isn't it a pity?
Forgetting to give back,
Isn't it a pity?
Forgetting to give back,
Now, isn't it a pity?
(Ah, ah, isn't it a pity?)
(Ah, ah)
(Ah, it's a pity, it's a pity, pity)
(Ah, it's a pity, it's a pity, pity)
(Such a pity, yeah!)
(Ah, it's a pity, it's a pity, pity)
(Ah, it's a pity, it's a pity, pity, isn't it a pity, pity?)
(Ah) Forgetting to give back, now, isn't it a pity?
(It's a pity, it's a pity, pity)
WHILE MY GUITAR GENTLY WEEPS
By George Harrison
Recorded live in Japan, December 1991
I look at you all,
See the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps.
I look at the floor
And I see it needs sweeping,
Still my guitar gently weeps.
I don't know why nobody told you
How to unfold your love.
And I don't know why someone controlled you,
They bought and sold you.
I look at the world
And I notice it's turning
While my guitar gently weeps.
With every mistake
We must surely be learning,
Still my guitar gently weeps.
And I don't know why you were diverted,
You were perverted too.
And I don't know why you were inverted,
No one alerted you.
I look at you all,
See the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps.
Look at you all...
Still my guitar gently weeps.
ROLL OVER BEETHOVEN
By Chuck Berry
Recorded live in Japan, December 1991
Gonna write a little letter,
Mail it to my local DJ
A rockin' little record,
Want my jockey to play.
Roll over Beethoven,
I hear it again today.
You know my temp'rature's risin',
The juke-box blows a fuse.
My heart's beatin' rhythm
And my soul is a-singing the blues.
Roll over Beethoven
And tell Tchaikowsky the news.
I got a rockin' pneumonia,
I need a shot of rhythm and blues.
I think I caught an arthritis
Sittin' down at the rhythm reviews.
Roll over Beethoven,
They're rockin' in two by two.
Well, now if you feel it, like it,
Go get your lover and reel and rock it,
You ball it over and a-move on up just
A trifle further and reel and rock it,
Roll it over.
Roll over Beethoven,
Dig these rhythm and blues.
Early in the mornin'
I'm a-givin' you the warnin',
Don't you step on my blue suede shoes!
Hey-hey, diddle, diddle, I'm a-play my fiddle,
Ain't got nothin' to lose.
Roll over Beethoven,
Tell Tchaikowsky the news.
You know she wiggles like a glow-worm,
And dance like a spinnin' top.
She's got a crazy partner,
Ought to see 'em reel and rock.
Long as she's got a dime,
The music will never stop.
Roll over Beethoven,
Roll over Beethoven,
Roll over Beethoven,
Roll over Beethoven,
Roll over Beethoven,
Dig these rhythm and blues!
"Thank you! Thank you, thank you for coming to see the show. And I'd like to thank the band and Eric for making me come here to Japan, it's been very nice and I love you. Thank you. God bless!"наверх
