VENUS AND MARS
By Paul McCartney
Sitting in the stand of the sports arena,
Waiting for the show to begin.
Red lights, green lights, strawberry wine,
A good friend of mine, follows the stars,
Venus and Mars are alright tonight.
ROCK SHOW
By Paul McCartney
What's that man holdin' in his hand?
He looks a lot like a guy I knew way back when.
It's silly Willie with the Philly band, could be, oo-wee.
Tell me, what's that man movin' cross the stage?
It looks a lot like the one used by Jimmy Page.
It's like a relic from a diff'rent age, could be, oo-wee.
If there's a rock show at the Concertgebow,
They've got long hair at the Madison Square,
You've got rock and roll at the Hollywood Bowl.
We'll be there, oh yeah!
The lights go down, they're back in town, okay.
Behind the stacks you glimpse an axe.
The tension mounts, you score an ounce ole,
Tem'rature's risin' as you see the whites of their eyes.
If there's a rock show at the Concertgebow,
You've got long hair at the Madison Square,
They've got rock and roll at the Hollywood Bowl (oh).
We'll be there (ooh, ooh, ooh), oh yeah!
You know there is a...
In my green metal suit I'm preparing to shoot up the city,
And the ring at the end of my nose makes me look rather pretty.
It's a pity there's nobody here to witness the end,
Save for my dear, old friend and confidante, mademoiselle Kitty (Kitty),
Kitty, Kittay, ha, ha, ha!
Ah hey!
Oh, oh!
Oh, now, what's that man movin' to and fro'?
That decibel meter doesn't seem to be reading low.
But they was louder at the rainbow, could be, oo-wee.
Come on, rock and roll, give it to me, sir!
Rock and roll at the Hollywood Bowl.
Sure to move me (long hair)!
I'm taking you there (rock and roll).
Oh yeah, at the Madison.
Oh, rock show, come on, let's...
Ah, professor, yeah!
Yeah (rock and roll)!
"Who's that? Who's that there, huh?
Oh, it's you, babe! That's all right!
Come on, let's go down,
Come on, baby, we're goin' to the rock show!
Remember last week when I promised you I was gonna buy
A good seat at the rock show?
Well, I've bought it!
Come on now! Now get your dress on!
Place your wig on straight, we can't be late!
Come on, we've got a date!
We're goin' down to the rock show!"
LOVE IN SONG
By Paul McCartney
Mm-mm-mm.
My heart cries out for love
And all that goes with loving.
Love in song,
Love in song.
My, you're so fine,
When love is mine, I can't go wrong.
Love in song,
Love in song.
I can see the places that we used to go to now.
Happiness in the homeland.
My eye cries out
A tear still born, misunderstanding.
Love in song,
Love in song.
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
YOU GAVE ME THE ANSWER
By Paul McCartney
You gave me the answer to love eternally,
I love you and you, you seem to like me.
Wherever we wander, the local folks agree,
I love you and you, you seem to like me.
Heading back to old familiar places,
Places where the cobwebs blow away,
I can't forget the airs and graces.
"Shall we dance?"
"This is fun"
"We should do this more often!"
You'll never be crowned by the aristocracy,
To their delight, you'd merely invite them in for a cup of tea.
And I love you and you, you seem to like,
You seem to like,
You seem to like me.
MAGNETO AND TITANIUM MAN
By Paul McCartney
Well, I was talking last night,
Magneto and titanium man.
We were talking about you, babe,
They said:
You was involved in a robbery
That was due to happen at a quarter to three in the main street.
I didn't believe them (I didn't believe them),
Magneto and titanium man.
But when the crimson dynamo finally assured me,
Well, I knew.
So we went out,
Magneto and titanium man.
And the crimson dynamo came along for the ride.
We went to town with the library,
And we swung all over that long, tall bank in the main street.
Well, there she were and to my despair,
She's a five star criminal, breaking the code.
Magneto said, now the time has come to gather our forces and run.
Oh no, this can't be so.
Then it occurred to me, you couldn't be bad,
Magneto was mad, titanium too.
And the crimson dynamo, just couldn't cut it no more,
You were the law.
We went to town with the library,
And we swung all over that long, tall bank in the main street.
You know the one I mean.
Then it occurred to me, you couldn't be bad,
Magneto was mad, titanium too.
And the crimson dynamo, well, they just couldn't cut it no more,
You were the law.
LETTING GO
By Paul McCartney
Ah, she taste like wine,
Such a human being so divine.
Oh, she feel like sun (like the sun),
Mother nature, look at what you've done.
Oh (oh), I feel like letting go.
Oh (oh), I feel like letting go.
Oh, she looks like snow (like the snow),
I wanna put her in a broadway show.
Ah, she'll dance and dine,
Like a lucifer, she'll always shine.
Oh, oh (oh), 'cause I feel like letting go, yeah.
Oh (oh), I feel like letting go.
Oh, she sings it so,
I wanna put her on the radio.
One day and there you are,
Ladies and gentlemen, a brand new star.
VENUS AND MARS (REPRISE)
By Paul McCartney
Standing in the hall of the great cathedral,
Waiting for the transport to come.
Starship 21zna9, a good friend of mine,
Studies the stars,
Venus and Mars are alright tonight.
Come away on a strange vacation,
Holiday hardly begun.
Run into a good friend of mine, show me her sign,
Search for the stars,
Venus and Mars are alright tonight.
SPIRITS OF ANCIENT EGYPT
By Paul McCartney
You're my baby and I love you,
You can take a pound of love and cook it in the stew.
And when you're finished doing that,
I know what you wanna do,
'Cause you're my baby and I love you.
I'm your baby, do you love me?
I can drive a cadillac across the Irish sea.
And when I'm finished doing that,
I know where I'll wanna be.
'Cause you're my baby and you love me.
Spirits of ancient Egypt (oh, oh, oh, oh),
Shadows of ancient Rome. (oh, oh, oh, oh).
Spirits of ancient Egypt (oh, oh, oh, oh),
Hung on the telly, hung on the telly,
Hung on the telephone.
You're my baby, I know you know,
You could sell an elevator to Geronimo.
And when you're finished doing that,
I know where you'll wanna go,
'Cause you're my baby, I know you know (yeh, yeh).
Spirits of ancient Egypt (oh, oh, oh, oh),
Echoes of sunken Spain (oh, oh, oh, oh).
Spirits of ancient Egypt (oh, oh, oh, oh),
Hung on the telly, a-hung on the telly,
A-hung on the phone again.
MEDICINE JAR
By Jimmy McCulloch and Colin Allen
What's wrong with you? I wish I knew.
You say time will tell, I hope that's true.
There's more to life than blues and reds,
I say I know how you feel, now your friends are dead.
Dead on your feet, you won't get far,
If you keep on sticking your hand in the medicine jar.
Now don't give up whatever you do.
You say time will tell, I hope that's true.
If you go down and lose your head,
I say I know how you feel, now your friends are dead.
I said, dead on your feet, you won't get far,
If you keep on sticking your hand in the medicine jar.
Take it!
What can I do? I can't let go.
You say time will heal, but very slow.
So don't forget the things you said,
I say I know how you feel, now your friends are dead.
CALL ME BACK AGAIN
By Paul McCartney
Well, when I (I, I),
When I was just a little, baby boy.
Ev'ry night (night, night)
I would call,
Your number brought me joy.
I called your house every night since then,
But I never, no, no, never,
Heard you calling me,
Come on and call me back again,
Come on and call me back again.
Oh, I've heard your name every night since then,
But I never, no, no, never,
Heard you calling me,
Come on and call me back again,
Yeah, call me back again.
Well, when I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I,
When I was, oh, just a little, baby boy.
Ev'ry night, ev'ry night I would call,
Because your number brought me joy.
Oh, I've called your name every night since then,
But I ain't never, no, no, no, no, never,
Heard you calling me,
Come on and call me back again (call me back again),
Come on and call me back again (call me back again),
Come on and, come on and call me (call me back again),
Babe, call me back again (call me back again).
Why won't you call me (call me back again),
Call me back again?
I ain't never heard you (call me back again),
So why don't you call me back again?
Ev'ry night I'm calling your name (call me back again),
So why won't you call me back again?
LISTEN TO WHAT THE MAN SAID
By Paul McCartney
"Alright, okay, ha, ha, ha!
Very good to see you down New Orleans, man.
Yeah, really, yeah, yeah!"
Any time, any day,
You can hear the people say,
That love is blind
Well, I don't know, but I say love is kind.
Soldier boy kisses girl,
Leaves behind a tragic world.
But he won't mind,
He's in love and he says love is fine.
Oh-oh, yes, indeed we know
That people will find a way to go no matter what the man said.
And love is fine for all we know,
For all we know our love will grow,
That's what the man said.
So won't you listen to what the man said?
He said:
Alright, take it away!
The wonder of it all, baby,
The wonder of it all, baby,
The wonder of it all, baby,
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
TREAT HER GENTLY / LONELY OLD PEOPLE
By Paul McCartney
Treat her gently, treat her kind,
She doesn't even know her own mind.
Treat her simply, take it slow,
Make it easy and let her know
You'll never find another way.
Here we sit, two lonely old people,
Eaking our lives away.
Bit by bit, two lonely old people,
Keeping the time of day.
Here we sit, out of breath,
And nobody asked us to play.
Old people's home for the day, yeh, yeh, yeh,
Nobody asked us to play.
MY CARNIVAL
By Paul McCartney
It's my carnival, it's a lovely day.
Well, it's my carnival, it's a lovely day
Well, all you people, getting ready to play.
I want to hear you say, come on down,
This is my carnival, it's a lovely day.
