THE SONGS WE WERE SINGING
By Paul McCartney
For a while, we could sit, smoke a pipe,
And discuss all the vast intricacies of life.
We could jaw through the night,
Talk about a range of subjects, anything you like, oh yeah.
But we always came back to the song we were singing
At any particular time.
Yeah, we always came back to the song we were singing
At any particular time.
Take a sip, see the world through a glass
And speculate about the cosmic solution.
To the sound, blue guitars,
Caught up in a philosophical discussion, oh yeah.
Yeah, we always came back.
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah.
We always came back to the songs we were singing, mm-mm.
THE WORLD TONIGHT
By Paul McCartney
I saw you sitting at the center of a circle.
Ev'rybody, ev'rybody wanted something from you.
I saw you sitting there.
I saw you swaying to the rhythm of the music,
Caught you playing, caught you praying to the voice inside you.
I saw you swaying there.
I don't care what you wanna be,
I go back too far I'm in front of me.
It doesn't matter what they say,
They're giving the game away, hey, hey!
I can see the world tonight,
Look into the future,
See it in a different light,
I can see the world tonight.
I heard you listening to a secret conversation,
You were crying, you were trying not to let them hear you.
I heard you listening in.
Never mind what they wanna do,
You've got a right to your point of view.
It doesn't matter what they say,
They're giving the game away, hey, hey!
I saw you hiding from a flock of paparazzi,
You were hoping, you were hoping that the ground would swallow you.
I saw you hiding there.
I don't care what you wanna be,
I go back so far I'm in front of me.
It doesn't matter what they say,
They're giving the game away, hey, hey!
IF YOU WANNA
By Paul McCartney
If you wanna, if you wanna,
If you wanna love me again,
I'll take you for a ride in my cadillac.
He'll be in the front, we'll be in the back.
When you're ready, let me know.
I'll be waiting
To make arrangements for the trip,
To make arrangements for the trip,
To make arrangements for the trip.
And if you wanna, if you wanna,
If you wanna do it again.
I'll take you to the coast for a holiday.
You can be my guest, you can let me pay, yeah.
Whenever you're ready.
When you wanna love me, this is what you need
To be thinking of me when you plant the seed of love.
SOMEDAYS
By Paul McCartney
Somedays I look,
I look at you with eyes that shine.
Somedays I don't,
I don't believe that you are mine.
It's no good asking me what time of day it is,
Who won the match or scored the goal.
Somedays I look,
Somedays I look into your soul.
Sometimes I laugh,
I laugh to think how young we were.
Sometimes it's hard,
It's hard to know which way to turn.
Don't ask me where I found that picture on the wall,
How much it cost or what it's worth.
Sometimes I laugh,
I laugh to think how young we were.
We don't need anybody else to tell us what is real,
Inside each one of us is love and we know how it feels.
Somedays I cry,
I cry for those who live in fear.
Somedays I don't,
I don't remember why I'm here.
No use reminding me, it's just the way it is,
Who ran the race or came in first.
Somedays I cry,
I cry for those who fear the worst.
YOUNG BOY
By Paul McCartney
He's just a young boy lookin' for a way to find love.
It isn't easy, nothing you can say will help him find love.
He's gotta do it for himself and it can take so long,
He's just a young boy lookin' for a way to find love.
He doesn't need another helping hand from someone,
But don't you think he doesn't understand what he wants someone?
Though independence means a lot, he's gotta still be strong,
He's just a young boy lookin' for a way to find love.
Find love, a perfect combination,
Find love, whatever you do.
Find love, a cause for celebration,
Then it might come lookin' (lookin'), come lookin' for you.
Well.
Find love, in any situation,
Find love, whatever you do.
Find love, a cause for celebration,
Then it might come lookin' (lookin'), come lookin'g for you.
Find love, a time for meditation,
Find love, a source of inspiration,
Find love, instead of confrontation.
Find love and love will come lookin' for you.
CALICO SKIES
By Paul McCartney
It was written that I would love you
From the moment I opened my eyes.
And the morning when I first saw you,
Gave me life under calico skies.
I will hold you for as long as you like,
I'll hold you for the rest of my life.
Always lookin' for ways to love you,
Never failing to fight at your side.
While the angels of love protect us,
From the innermost secrets we hide.
I'll hold you for as long as you like,
I'll hold you for the rest of my life.
Long live all of us crazy soldiers
Who were born under calico skies.
May we never be called to handle
All the weapons of war we despise.
I'll hold you for as long as you like,
All love you for the rest of my,
For the rest of my life.
FLAMING PIE
Paul McCartney
Making love underneath the bed,
Shooting stars from a purple sky.
I don't care how I do it,
I'm the man on the flaming pie.
Stick my tongue out and lick my nose,
Tuck my shirt in and zip my fly.
Go ahead, have a vision,
I'm the man on the flaming pie.
Ev'rything I do has a simple explanation,
When I'm with you, you could do with a vacation.
I took my brains out and stretched 'em on the rack,
Now I'm so sure I'm ever gonna get 'em back.
Cut my toes off to spite my feet,
I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
Never mind, check my rhythm,
I'm the man on the flaming pie.
I'm the man on the flaming pie.
Oh, yeah! Ha, ha!
HEAVEN ON A SUNDAY
Paul McCartney
Ooh, wah-wah-wah.
Peaceful, like heaven on a Sunday,
Wishful, not thinking what to do.
We've been calling it love,
But it's a dream we're going through.
And if I only had one love, yours would be the one I'd choose.
If I only had one love, yours would be the one I'd choose.
Restful, like devon on a Monday,
Cooling my fingers in the bay.
We've been learning a song
But it's a long and lonely blues.
It's peaceful, like heaven on a Sunday,
Wishful, not thinking what to do.
We've been calling it love (love),
But it's a dream (dream) we're going through (through).
And if I only had one love, yours would be the one I'd choose...
(If I) Only had one love, you'd be the one I'd choose.
If I only had one love.
(Yours would be the, yours would be the...)
(Heaven on a Sunday)
USED TO BE BAD
By Steve Miller and Paul McCartney
One, two, three!
Well, I used to be bad,
But I don't have to be bad no more.
Yeah, I used to be bad,
But I don't have to be bad no more.
Well, ain't no doubt about it, people,
It's something you can't ignore.
Well, I ain't good lookin',
People, you know I've been up on a shelf.
Yes, I know I ain't good lookin',
And I've been put up on a shelf.
But I got a sweet disposition,
I like to enjoy myself.
You know I learned my lesson
A long, long time ago.
Well, no matter what you say,
No matter what you do,
You got one life to live,
It's gonna come back home to you.
Yeah, people, I learned my lesson
A long, long time ago, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh! Now go!
Yeah, you learned your lesson, Steve.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, come on!
The good lord made this world
And ev'rything that's in it.
The way I see it, baby,
You gotta love it to the limit.
Oh yes, now people,
It's something you can't ignore, yeah.
Yes, I used to be bad
But I ain't gonna be bad no more, ooh-ooh-ooh.
Well, the way you treat me, darling,
Made me understand.
Never quit you, baby,
I'm gonna love you to the end.
Yes, I learned my lesson,
You're gonna reap just what you sow.
SOUVENIR
By Paul McCartney
When you're fed up shedding too many tears
And your memories seems like just so many souvenirs,
I will come to you to ease the pain.
If you want me, tell me now
If I can be of any help, tell me how.
Let me love you like a friend,
Ev'rything is gonna come right in the end.
When you're crying like a poor little child
And you're feeling like you never could be reconciled,
Don't forget a word of what I'm saying.
Well, I can hold you too tight,
I could never let you go
But that wouldn't be right.
So, why don't you let me know (let me know), let me know,
What you wanna do?
Ev'rybody's got a handful of fear,
But tomorrow it may only be a souvenir
Of the way it was 'til it went away.
If you want me, you tell me now (tell me now)
If i can be of any help, tell me how (tell me how).
Let me love (let me love you) you like a friend (like a friend),
Ev'ry little thing is gonna come right in the end (right in the end).
Souvenir (souvenir),
No, not another souvenir.
Souvenir,
No, no, no, no, no, no souvenir.
LITTLE WILLOW
Paul McCartney
Bend, little willow,
Winds gonna blow you
Hard and cold tonight.
Life, as it happens,
Nobody wants you,
Willow, hold on tight.
Nothing's gonna shake your love,
Take your love away.
No one's out to break your heart,
It only seems that way... hey.
Sleep, little willow,
Peace gonna follow,
Time will heal your wounds.
Grow to the heavens,
Now and forever,
Always came too soon.
REALLY LOVE YOU
By Paul McCartney and Richard Starkey
You know I need you through the night,
When morning comes I love the light.
But in the night-time that dark is black,
Come on, baby, you gotta help me get back.
I love you, oh yeah,
I really love you, oh yeah.
Ooh ooh ooh ooh.

BEAUTIFUL NIGHT
By Paul McCartney
Someone's gone out fishing,
Someone's high and dry.
Someone's on a mission to the lonely Lorelei.
Some folk's got a vision of a castle in the sky
And I'm left stranded, wondering why.
You and me together,
Nothing feels so good,
Even if I get a medal from my local neighbourhood
I won't need a castle, they've got castles in Versailles
And I'm still stranded, wondering why.
Make it a beautiful night for me,
It's a beautiful night for love,
A wonderful sight for lovers of love to behold.
Some boat's on the ocean,
We're here in this room,
Seems to me the perfect way to spend an afternoon.
We can look for castles, pretty castles in the sky,
No more wondering, wondering why.
Things can go wrong, things can go right,
Things can go bump in the dead of the night.
So let me be there, let me be there,
Let me be there with you in the dead of the night.
Make it a beautiful night for me,
It's such a beautiful night for love,
Such a wonderful sight for lovers of love to behold.
Yeah, it's a beautiful night,
Yeah, it's a beautiful night.
