STRANGLEHOLD
By Paul McCartney and Eric Stewart
Can I get you to give me a minute of your time?
Can I get you to slip me the answer?
Can I get you to slow me a little of your mime?
You were always a very good dancer.
I'd be happy to show you a bit of what I found,
I'd be happy to share in its beauty.
I'd be happy to lay low inevitably bound,
I would only be doing my duty.
I wait, I wait, I can wait.
I can wait back in the bar,
I can wait, I can wait,
I can wait back in the car,
I'll be waiting for you.
Stranglehold, you know you've got one on me,
I don't wanna go without you.
Stranglehold, you've got me where you want me,
But I wanna know more about you,
I wanna know more about you.
Are you willing to wager a little of your life?
Are you willing to take such a gamble?
Are you ready to walk on the edge of the knife?
Then I think we can skip the preamble.
I'll be waiting...
GOOD TIMES COMING / FEEL THE SUN
By Paul McCartney
Good times coming, good times coming in,
Good times coming, good times coming in, ho!
Good times coming, good times coming in, ha-ha-ha!
Good times coming, good times coming in.
I was thinking about that summer so long ago,
Pack up your bags and yell "Geronimo"!
That was a golden summer, wasn't it hot?
We laughed a lot that summer, laughed a lot.
Laughing at the good times coming,
Laughing at the good times coming in.
Good times coming,
Laughing at the good times coming in.
There was something about the weather, what can I say?
Nothing like any other holiday.
That was a silly season, was it the best?
We didn't need the reason, just a rest.
Happy at the good times coming,
Happy at the good times coming in, mm.
Good times coming,
Happy at the good times coming in.
I'm loving you, I'm loving you, I'm loving you now.
I'm loving you, I'm loving you, I'm loving you now.
There was a golden summer before the war,
They laughed a lot that summer, lah de dah.
Good times coming, good, good,
Good times coming in, good, good,
Good times coming, good, good,
Good times coming in, good, good,
Good times coming, good times coming in.
Feel the sun shine in, shine in, shine in,
Feel the sun shining in on you.
Feel the sun shine in, shine in, shine in,
Feel the sun shining in on you.
All the beauty, all the pain,
Will it ever be the same again?
If you love me, show me now,
It's the only way that we know how, oh.
Feel the sun shine in, shine in, shine in,
Feel the sun shining in on you...
TALK MORE TALK
By Paul McCartney
A master can highlight the phrases,
Sleazy instruments, half talked, half baked ideas...
Dad, you didn't say ok... ha, ha...
The window was open, outside was a spaceship,
(And a master can highlight the phrases)
It took off into the sky leaving a trail of smoke behind it...
Short of standard, was it the sum?
What was rehearsal? Conventional drum?
Not quite a hundred. Less than a ton.
Clearly the time came, the plan had begun.
With talk, more talk,
Chat, more chat.
Words of a feather are worn in a hat.
Talk, more talk, chat, more chat,
I'm happy to do it for you.
Developed since earlier days at the school,
Cheapest sensations was used as a rule.
Outstanding to mem'ry, major free flow,
Bio-degradable, look out below for
Talk, more talk,
Oh, I love to hear the gentle sound
Of conversation sprinkled around
A room where I can be at one with you for.
More talk, more talk, talkie-talk, talkie-talk,
Chat, more chat, chatie-chatie-chat.
Words of a feather are worn in a hat.
Talk, more talk, chat, more chat,
Happy to do it for you.
I'm happy to do it for you, uh, do you,
I'm happy to do it for you, uh, do you,
I'm happy to do it, I'm happy to do it,
I'm happy to do it for you, yeah.
Digital organ, finishing stretch,
Instrumentation, analogue gretsch.
Not quite a thousand, lower than that.
Possible bargain for listening at that.
All you want is a handyman
And all you want is quick service.
Because I'm a house owner.
I am a house owner.
It may be worth something some day.
I hear water going through the pipes.
I don't actually like sitting down music.
Music is ideas.
Talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk.
Talk, more talk, more talk!
Chat, more chat, chat, more chat!
Words of a feather are worn in a hat.
Talk, more talk, chat, more chat.
Talk, more talk,
Chat, chat, more chat, more chat.
Words of a feather are worn in a hat.
Talk, more talk, chat, more chat.
A master can tell,
Highlight the phrases his words to digress.
Grey flannel trousers, grey flannel trousers.
A blazer and grey flannel trousers.
FOOTPRINTS
By Paul McCartney and Eric Stewart
It's beautiful outside,
An old hand gathers wood,
Can he see me sitting here?
His mind is somewhere else.
His friends have flown away,
He's left out in the cold.
He won't sit by my fire,
He says he likes it in the snow.
Where footprints never go,
He likes it in the snow.
It's getting dark outside,
The old man's going home.
Has he someone waiting there?
Is he living on his own?
Where footprints never go,
He likes it in the snow.
In white blanket,
Hiding the traces of tears she didn't see.
Oh, white blanket,
Covers the memory of all that used to be,
All that used to be.
But his heart keeps aching in the same old way,
He can't help feeling that she might come back some day.
It's beautiful outside,
A magpie looks for food.
The old hand throws a crumb,
Do you think he's found a friend?
Where footprints never go,
He likes it in the snow.
Oh, white blanket,
Hiding the traces of paths he didn't take.
Oh, oh, white blanket,
Covers the memory of moves he didn't make.
Go now.
Oh, white blanket,
Hiding the traces of tears she didn't see.
Snow white blanket,
Simply covers the memory of all that used to be.
But his heart keeps aching in the same old way,
He can't help feeling that she might come back some day.
ONLY LOVE REMAINS
By Paul McCartney
And if you take your love away from me,
I'm only going to want it back.
I'll probably pretend I didn't see,
But knowing me,
I want you back again and again,
'Til the word has lost it's meaning,
And love is all that stays.
Only love remains.
If you should ever feel that something's wrong,
I'm gonna want to put it right,
To bring a happy ending to our song,
I'll carry on believing in a love.
If your love was to trickle through my fingers,
What would it leave me with?
Only love remains.
(Only love, love remains)
Only love (remains).
Old enough and strong enough
To stretch across the world.
Taking the sand inside an oyster,
Changing it into a pearl.
Making another magic transformation,
Find the right boy for the right girl.
When all our friends have gone and we're alone,
There's nothing left to shout about,
Together we'll explore the great unknown.
I'd say we won't be going out tonight,
Let tonight be the one that we remember,
When love is all that stays,
Only love remains.
When love (only love) is all that stays (love remains),
Only love remains, only love (only love) remains.
PRESS
By Paul McCartney
Said one, said two, said three.
Darling, I love you very, very, very much,
And I really am relying on your touch.
But with all these people listening in,
I don't know where I ought to begin.
Baby, we could hit upon a word,
Something that the others haven't heard,
When you want me to love you,
Just tell me to press.
Right there, that's it, yes,
Ah, when you feel the stress don't just stand there,
Tell me to press (press, press, tell me to press, tell me to press).
You can give me what I want, I must confess,
My body needs attention, my mind is in a mess,
Oklahoma was never like this.
Never like this, it was never like this,
Ever like this, say was it ever like this?
Oklahoma was never like this.
Oh, it was never like this.
Darling, I know it really wouldn't be a crime,
If I say I want to love you all the time, mm-mm.
But with all these people listening in,
I don't know where I ought to begin.
A-maybe we should have a secret code,
Before we both get ready to explode.
When you want me to love you,
Well, just tell me to press (tell me to press, tell me to press).
Right there, that's it, yes,
When you feel the stress don't just stand there,
Tell me to press? (won't you tell me to press? tell me to press)
My mind's in a mess.
Oklahoma was never like this.
Ah, yeah.
Ooh.
Tell me to press? (never like this)
Right there (never like this, never like this),
When you feel the stress (oh, oh, oh, oh).
Oh, come on now (never like this),
Won't you tell me to press? (never like this)
Will you tell me to press? (never like this)
Oh, right there (never like this),
That's it, yes (oh, oh, oh, oh),
Yeah, yeah (never like this),
Won't you tell me to press, press, press, press...
Won't you just tell me to press?
Oh, I feel so good,
Like you know I should (never like this).
You tell me to press, yeah (never like this, never like this),
A little bit harder (never like this),
Oh, that's right! (oh, oh, oh, oh)
Oh, when you feel the stress (never like this),
Come on, baby, now press (never like this),
A little bit harder (never like this),
A little bit harder, yeah (never like this),
It's a little bit finer,
Ah, come on now (never like this),
Won't you tell me to press? (never like this)
Yes, right there (never like this).
That's it (never like this),
That's it (never like this),
When you feel the stress (never like this),
Won't you tell me to press? (never like this, never like this)
PRETTY LITTLE HEAD
By Paul McCartney and Eric Stewart
Hillmen, hillmen, hillmen, hillmen,
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh.
Hillmen come down from the lava,
Forging across the mighty river flow, oh-oh.
Always forever,
Only so you don't worry
Your pretty little head.
Ursa major, ursa minor,
Ursa major, ursa minor.
Hillmen, hillmen, hillmen, hillmen,
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh.
Hillmen bring garments, spices,
Carrying trinkets, silk and precious stones, oh-oh.
Exotic legends,
Only so you don't worry
Your pretty little head.
Hillmen, hillmen, hillmen, hillmen,
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh.
Hillmen are sworn to allegiance,
Living a life of silent dignity, oh-oh.
For your protection,
Only so you don't worry
Your pretty little head.
The hillmen,
Living in higher reaches.
Ursa major, ursa minor.
MOVE OVER BUSKER
By Paul McCartney and Eric Stewart
Well, the rest of my life lay in front of me,
I was pedalling down the road,
When I saw Nell Gwynne and her oranges,
And I say, "I'll have one of those!"
She said,
"Move over, busker, don't bang the drum,
Move over, busker, your time will come".
Well, I was hanging around for a miracle,
Struggling with a rhyme,
When I saw Mae West in a sweaty vest,
And I said, "I'll come up and see you some time".
She said,
"Move over, busker, that's not my style,
Your chance is coming in a little while".
You've got it coming, come on, come on,
You've got it coming, coming to you.
You've got it coming, come on, come on,
You've got it coming, coming to you.
Well, I've been waiting (waiting),
But I'm impatient,
No one can hold me back,
I wanna stay with the action.
But I won't get it (get it),
My great illusion will vanish anyhow
If I don't grab it now.
Whoa!
Oo-wee, babe!
A belly dancer!
Well, I was hacking my way through the undergrowth,
Juggling with my pride,
When I saw Errol Flynn in a tiger skin,
And I said, "You look satisfied!"
Uh, well, he looked down at me from his motor home,
And he gave me a dirty smile.
He said, "Well, yes, I am, but she's calling me,
Would you excuse us for a while?"
Yeah, move over, busker, your day is done,
Move over, busker, my time has come.
I'm telling you to
Move over, busker (come on, come on),
I'll bang my drum (come on, come on).
Move over, busker, my time has come.
(You've got it coming, coming to you)
Ooh, move over, busker (come on, come on),
Yeah, your day, your day is done (come on, come).
Move over, busker, my time has come.
(You've got it coming, coming to you)
ANGRY
By Paul McCartney and Eric Stewart
Whoa!
What the hell gives you the right
To tell me what to do with my life?
Especially when you made a mess
Of every chance you had of success.
Look at you,
Just look at you,
I said, I'm angry just looking at you.
Well, I'm sick and tired of sitting back
And listening to all of your clap-trap (clap-trap).
If you could get me take the rap, I guarantee
You'd leave me with a backslap (backslap).
Push me to the left, push me to the right,
Try to take me out of the way.
Even if you knock me off the edge of the world,
You're still gonna hear me say:
Shouting down again, mahama, shouting down again.
Shouting down again, mahama, shouting down again.
Oh-oh!
Oh, oh, now, hah, hah, hah!
Hubbah, shout it out! Shout it out!
I can't begin to tell you all the reasons
Why you're making me crazy (crazy).
I've got so many answers, like you're stupid,
Like you're crooked, like you're lazy (lazy).
Hit me with your left, hit me with your right,
Hit me from the top to the toe.
Even when you chew me up and spit me out,
I'm still gonna want to know.
Looking, shouting, look out!
Can't you hear me telling you?
Come on, babe, shout it down! Shout it down!
What the hell gives you the right?
HOWEVER ABSURD
By Paul McCartney and Eric Stewart
Ears twitch like a dog,
Breaking eggs in a dish.
Do not mock me when I say
This is not a lie.
No, it isn't,
Oh, oh, oh,
Mm-mm-mm.
It's funny thing, half serious,
With our hands on our ears.
Living dreams with mouths ajar,
Wide awake we go to sleep.
However absurd,
However absurd it may seem.
However absurd,
However absurd it may seem.
Something special between us,
When we made love the game was over.
I couldn't say the words,
Words wouldn't get my feelings through,
And so I keep talking to you.
Custom made, dinosaurs,
Too late now for a change.
Ev'rything is under the sun,
But nothing is for keeps.
You need love, write a letter,
You need love, write away.
Get it down, you'll feel better,
Send it now, write away.
Hey, Cinderella, did you need that other fella?
On the wrong side of midnight your defences slipped away.
You need attention, so I think it's worth a mention,
That if I can deliver,
Well, there wouldn't be no heavy price to pay.
You need love, write a letter,
You need love, write away.
If you need to feel better,
Do it now, write away.
Hey, Marguerita, I can think of nothing sweeter,
But the taste of your nectar seems to lead the boys astray.
Don't you forget it, well, you know you won't regret it,
Say, I've got the answer,
You were looking at it long before today.
Hey, hey.
You need love, love, love, write a letter (letter),
You need love (love, love), write away.
If you need (need, need) to feel better (better),
Do it now, now, now, write away.
IT'S NOT TRUE
By Paul McCartney
It's not true!
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
It's not true!
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
It's not true!
Some people say she's a bad girl,
Some people think she's a fool,
Some people tell me she's no good,
But I'm telling you,
It's not true, it's not true, it's not true.
They say that my girl's a mad girl,
No saying what she may do.
Some people tell me she's crazy,
But I'm telling you,
It's not true, it's not true, it's not true.
It's not true!
Ooh, ooh, ooh, they've been talking to the fellas,
Ooh, ooh, ooh, have they never heard of jealousy?
Ooh, ooh, ooh, if she helps me write the melody,
I'll let the words take care of themselves.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, they've been talking to the fellas,
Ooh, ooh, ooh, have they never heard of jealousy?
Ooh, ooh, ooh, if she helps me make the memories,
I'll let the words take care of themselves.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Some people say she's a loser,
Some people tell me that she's through.
Some people say I don't love her,
But I'm telling you,
It's not true, it's not true, it's not true.
What they're saying about her isn't true.
Don't you know it isn't true!
True! Oh, no, no, no, no.
True! True! Oh, it isn't.
True! True! Oh, it's not true!
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
It's not true!
Ev'ry word has been a lie, lie, lie, lie.
It's not true!
But what about all those lies about my baby?
It's not true!
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
It's not true!
Oh no! lie, lie, lie, lie, lie.
TOUGH ON A TIGHTROPE
By Paul McCartney and Eric Stewart
You don't feel right when I come on strong,
Don't get me wrong.
I wait all night but you won't be long,
Don't get me wrong.
Hear me right,
I love you from the bottom of my heart,
You make the answer bright.
You touch me in a way that no one else could ever do,
If you'll only love me,
I'll love you.
And if you're tempted to tell a lie,
Don't get it wrong.
Well, it breaks my heart when I see you cry,
Don't get it wrong.
Get it right,
The brightest light that's shining in the skies,
Is shining from your eyes.
I love you in a way that no one else could ever do,
If you'll only love me,
I'll love you.
I'm often accused of giving to little,
It's got me confused, I'm split down the middle,
Conflicting reviews of our life coming in.
It's tough on a tightrope,
Yes, it's tough on a tightrope.
Ooh.
Hear me right,
I love you from the bottom of my heart,
You make the picture bright.
You love me in a way that no one else could ever do,
If you'll only love me,
I'll love you.
Ooh, ooh, ooh.
You touch me in a way that no one else could ever do,
If you'll only love me,
I'll love you.
Tough on a tightrope,
Tough on a tightrope, may look easy for you.
Tough on a tightrope,
Tough on a tightrope,
Tough on a tightrope, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Tough on a tightrope, tough on a tightrope.
Tough on a tightrope,
Tough on a tightrope, oo-oo-oo-ooh.
Tough on a tightrope,
Tough on a tightrope, yeah.
Tough on a tightrope,
Tough on a tightrope.
