If your life's not right, doesn't satisfy you,
You don't get the breaks like some of us do.
Better work it out, find where you've gone wrong,
Better do it soon 'cause you don't have long.
Get out of sour milk sea,
You don't belong there.
Get back to where you should be,
Find out what's going on there.
If you want the most from ev'rything you do,
In the shortest time your dreams come true.
In no time at all, makes you more aware,
Very simple process takes you there.
Get out of sour milk sea,
You don't belong there.
Get back to where you should be,
Find out what's going on there.
Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm -
Ah -
Looking for release from limitation,
There's nothing much without illumination.
You fool around with ev'ry diff'rent cult,
There's only one way really brings results.
Get out of sour milk sea,
You don't belong there.
Get back to where you should be,
Find out what's going on there.
Ah -
Get back to where you should be,
Find out what's going on there.
Ow!
Get back!
Get back!
Get back!
Oh, won't you get back now?
You don't belong here!
Get out of here, baby!
Oh!
Badge 2 George Harrison and Eric Clapton (recorded by Cream)Thinking 'bout the times you drove in my car,
Thinking that I might have drove it too far.
And I'm thinking 'bout the love that you laid on my table.
I told you not to wander 'round in the dark,
I told you 'bout the swans that they live in the park.
Then I told you 'bout "our kid", now he's married to mabel.
Yes, I told you that the life goes up and down,
Don't you notice how the wheel goes 'round?
And you'd better pick yourself up from the ground
Before they bring the curtain down,
Yes, before they bring the curtain down.
Oo - oo -
Get up! get up! get up!
Yeah! yeah! yeah!
Yeah! yeah! yeah!
Talking 'bout a girl that looks quite like you,
She didn't have the time to wait in the queue.
She cried away her life since she fell off the cradle.
Some folks want to be big wheels
And stand up ten foot tall.
But you got wheels that don't have no spokes
That really stand up at all.
Each one leanin' on the other,
Depending in every way.
Needin' each other and bleedin' each other
And doin' it for the pay, hey!
Ain't that cute, baby, ain't that cute?
With this chaos all around you,
Violence on TV
You want the news to check your daily blues paper
All about you and me.
Each one steppin' on the other,
Walk all over me.
Stonin' each other and phonin' each other
And bringing their horse to te-ee-ee-ea.
Ain't that cute, baby, ain't that cute?
Ain't it cute the way they smile for me
With their foot inside my door?
Ain't it cute the way they know me so well
That they sleep around my floor?
Oh, oh, oh yeah!
Some folks scrapin' on the bottom,
Think they're at the top.
While them up there don't feel hardly nowhere,
Don't get time to stop.
Each one slummin' on the other,
Tryin' to find their niche.
Doin' it all night; gettin' their charts right
And pullin' out all their tricks.
Ain't that cute, baby, ain't that cute?
Ain't that cute, baby, ain't that cute?
Ain't that cute, baby, oh, ain't that cute?
I wanna tell you all about it, right now.
Ain't that cute, baby, yeah, ain't that cute?
Ain't that cute? ain't that cute? ain't that cute?
Ain't that cute, baby, woho, ain't that cute?
Ain't that cute? ain't that cute? ain't that cute?
Ain't that cute, baby?
Ev'ry time that I see you,
You keep coming on strong.
With your hand in my pocket
When you know that is wrong.
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo, oo-oo, my baby.
Come on, baby, give me back my dynamite,
Right now!
Come on, baby, yeah!
Come on, baby, give me back my dynamite,
Alright.
I know you don't need it to pay for your booze
Or pay for your women too-oo-oo-oo, oh yeah.
Oo-oo-oo, baby,
Mm-mm-mm, oh, oh, oh, oh,.
Listen to me, baby,
I'm so tired, so tired of your messin' 'round, yeah.
I said, listen to me, baby,
I'm so tired, so tired of your messin' 'round, oh yes I am.
Now why should I fight you,
To leave what is mine?
Ev'ry time I don't see you,
Things keep working out fine.
But the moment you're near me,
You just mess up my mind.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh wow, my baby.
My baby!
My, my, my baby!
Oh, baby!
Baby, baby, give me back my dynamite, yeah.
Wow, yeah.

Oh, oh, baby, give it back to me!
Oh, oh, I want it back, baby, right now!
I see my baby walkin' down the track,
I'm gonna try to get my baby back.
There goes my baby walkin' down the track,
I wanna get my little baby back.
Well, I know I did my little baby wrong,
That is why I'm singin' this song.
And in my heart I know I did him wrong,
And that's why I'm singin' this song.
I wanna tell him how sad I'd be
If he leaves me alone,
Oh, I wanna tell him how glad I'd be
If he comes back home.
I'd be a fool if I should let him go,
Lord knows, I love him so.
Please, darlin', please, give me one more try,
I can't let you say goodbye.
Please, baby, please, give me one more try,
I can't let you say goodbye.
Oh, I see my baby walkin' down the track,

You know sometimes when I stop and think
About how good god's been to me,
I have to raise my voice and sing one to him.
And you know what, when I do that
I feel so much better,
I know it'll do the same for you.
So why don't you sing, yeah, sing one for the lord,
(Sing one for the lord)
It ain't no harm to sing, sing for the lord,
(Sing one for the lord)
It does you good, yeh, sing, sing one for the lord,

Tandoori chicken, (tandoori chicken)
Tandoori chicken, (tandoori chicken)
Tandoori chicken, (tandoori chicken)
Tandoori chicken, (tandoori chicken)
Tandoori chicken and a great, big bottle of wine.
I told Mal, my old pal,
To go with Joe and both if you go
We'll get
Tandoori chicken, (tandoori chicken)
I said, tandoori chicken, (tandoori chicken)
Tandoori chicken and a great, big bottle of wine.
I told Ken, my old friend,
To go with Joe
They should show me some
When the sunshine
Is not enough to make me feel bright,
It's got me suff'rin' in the darkness.
It's so easy come by on the roadside of one long lifetime.
It's got me deep blue,
No, I'm deep blue.
When I stand up,
Watch tired bodies full of sickness
And pain to show you're just a helpless,
You really are when you get down to the truth it hurts me.
It's got me deep blue,
No, I'm deep blue.
Got me deep blue,
No, I'm deep blue.
When I think of
The life I'm living, pray God to help me,
Give me your light
So I can love you and understand
This repetition that keeps me here feeling deep blue
You know I'm deep blue,
No, I'm deep blue,
It's got me deep blue,
No, I'm deep blue,
No, I'm deep blue.
When the sunshine
Is not enough to make me feel bright,
It's got me suff'rin' in the darkness.
It's so easy come by on the roadside of one long lifetime.
You know I'm deep blue,
Got me deep blue.
No, I'm deep blue,
It's got me deep blue,
You know I'm deep blue.
Stick up your hands, you must stand and deliver,
My stomach's empty, my clothes are all torn.
Open your hearts to the joys of the giver,
All of your pockets are terribly worn.
This is a holdup, no way to mistake it,
We're men of violence so don't fool around.
If you have money, we're going to take it,
You'll try and stop us, you'll end underground.
When we have your money, we'll ride towards the sunset.
At rosa's canteen we'll stop at the door.
We'll spend all your money just getting the nose wet,
Tomorrow evening we'll be back for more.
So hand us the money, don't stand there and shiver,
Tax time is coming, give alms to the poor.
Or I'll put a bullet right through your best liver,
Wealth is disease and I am the cure.
When we have your money, we'll ride towards the sunset.
At rosa's canteen we'll stop at the door.
We'll spend all your money just getting the nose wet,
Tomorrow evening we'll be back for more.
So hand us the money, don't stand there and shiver,
Tax time is coming, give alms to the poor.
Or I'll put a bullet right through your best liver,
Wealth is disease and I am the cure,
I am the cure,
I am the cure,
I am the....
Stick 'em up!
No! no!
Stick 'em up, give us your money!
No! no! no! no! no! no!
I'm the only one down here
Who's got nothing to say
About the war or the rice that keeps going astray
On it's way to Bombay.
That smog that keeps polluting up our shores
Is boring me to tears,
Why don't you call me, Miss O'Dell?
I'm the only one down here
Who's got nothing to fear
From the waves or the night that keeps rollin' up right
Up to my front porch.
The record player's broken on the floor
And ben he can't restore it,
Miss O'Dell.
I can tell you
Nothing new has happened
Since I last saw you.
I'm the only one down here
Who's got nothing to say
About the hip or the dope or the cat with most hope
To fill the Fillmore.
That push and shoving ringing on my bell
Is not for me tonight,
Why don't you call me, Miss O'Dell.
Garston, 6922
Photograph Richard Starkey and George Harrison (recorded by Ringo Starr)Ev'ry time I see your face,
It reminds me of the places we used to go.
But all I got is a photograph
And I realise you're not coming back anymore.
I thought I'd make it the day you went away,
But I can't make it
Till you come home again to stay-yi-yay-yi-yay.
I can't get used to living here,
While my heart is broke, my tears I cried for you.
I want you here to have and hold,
As the years go by and we grow old and grey.
Now you're expecting me to live without you,
But that's not something that I'm looking forward to.
I can't get used to living here,
While my heart is broke, my tears I cried for you.
I want you here to have and hold,
As the years go by and we grow old and grey.
Ev'ry time I see your face,
It reminds me of the places we used to go.
But all I got is a photograph
And I realise you're not coming back anymore.
Ev'ry time I see your face,
It reminds me of the places we used to go.
But all I got is a photograph
And I realise you're not coming back anymore.
Ev'ry time I see your face,
It reminds me of the places we used to go.
But all I got is a photograph
And I realise you're not
Uh-hoo!
It's a sunshine life for me,
If I could get away from this cloud over me,
Seems to just follow me around.
It's a sunshine life for me,
If I could get away from this cloud over me,
Seems to just follow me around.
There's a good life had for free,
When you're out in the country.
That's what I could use,
If I could get away there soon.
It's a sunshine life for me,
If I could get away from this cloud over me,
Seems to just follow me around.
There's a good life had at sea,
If you're not in the navy.
That's the life for you,
Sail away, Raymond, sail away.
Ho!
Ah!
Now most folks just bore me,
Always imposing
And I'd rather meet a tree
Somewhere out in the cornfield.
And it's a sunshine...
It's a sunshine life for me,
If I could get away from this cloud over me,
Seems to just follow me around.
It's a sunshine life for me,
If I could get away from this cloud over me,
Seems to just follow me around.
It's a sunshine life for me,
If I could get away from this cloud over me,
Seems to just follow me around.
And it's a sunshine,
I said, sunshine,
It's a sunshine.
Ha! ha! ha! hoo!
You and Me (Babe) (1973) George Harrison and Mal Evans (recorded by Ringo Starr)For you and me, babe, it's time that we part,
And between you, babe, I gave you my heart,
For these few moments,
I wish we could start at the top again.
For me and you, babe, it's the end of our date,
Me and the band, babe, all thought it was great,
To entertain you,
But it's getting late and it's time to leave.
Now I wanna tell you the pleasure really was mine.
Yes, I had a good time, singing and drinking some wine.
And when the sun sets in the sky
And you close your weary eyes,
I'll be in some night-club, getting high, that's no lie.
Now you and me, babe, we may meet again,
And in the meanwhile, stay out of the rain.
But keep your nose dry
And give as a smile if you liked the show.
Now I wanna tell you the pleasure really was mine.
Yes, I had a good time, singing and drinking some wine.
Though I may not be in your town,
You know that I can still be found
Right here on this record, spinning 'round, with the sounds.
For you and me, dave, they turned out the lights,
The violins stayed to wish you good night.
Me and the band-aid are reaching the end, so it's off we go.
Now the winter has come
To eclipse out the sun
That has lighted our love for some time.
And a cold wind now blows,
Not much tenderness flows
From the heart of someone feeling so tired.
And he feels so alone,
With no love of his own, no, no, no, no.
So sad,
So bad,
So sad,
So bad.
While his memory raced
With much speed and great haste
Through the problems of just being there.
In his heart, at arms length,
Held within its great strength
To ward off such a great despair.
And he feels so alone,
With no love of his own, no, no, no, no, no.
So bad,
So sad,
So bad.
Take the dawn from the day,
Yes, and give it away
To someone who can fill the part.
Of the dreams we once held,
Now it's going to be shelved.
It's too late for to make a new start.
And he feels so alone,
With no love of his own, no, no, no, no, no.
So sad, oo, yes, it is,
So bad, oo-oo,
So sad, oo-oo,
So bad, mm-mm-mm.
So sad, oo-oo-oo,
So bad, oo-oo-oo.
Oh, I like to be a pirate, a pirate's life for me.
All my friends are pirates and they sail the b.b. sea.
I've got a Jolly Roger, it's a black and white and vast.
So get out of your skull and crossbones
And I'll run it up your mast.
With a yo-ho-ho and a ah-ha-ha and a hee-hee-ha-ha-ho.
A yo-ho-ho and a ya-ha-ha and a yum-yum jum-jum-jum.
I've got a jolly roger, it's a black and white and vast.
So get out of your skull and crossbones
I'll run it up your mast.
All together!
I like to be a pirate, a pirate's life for me.
And all my friends are pirates and sail the b.b. sea.
Got a jolly roger, it's a black and white and vast.
So get out of your skull and crossbones
I'll run it up your mast.
Oo-ee!
With a yo-ho-ho and a ah-ha-ha and a hee-hee-ha-ha-ho.
A yo-ho-ho and a ya-ha-ha and a yum-yum jum-jum-jum.
I've got a jolly roger, it's a black and white and vast.
So get out of your skull and crossbones
I'll run it up your mast.
A one more time!
I like to be a pirate, a pirate's life for me.
And all my friends are pirates and they sail the b.b. sea.
Got a jolly roger, it's a black and white and vast.
So get out of your skull and crossbones
I'll run it up your mast.
When ev'ry song is sung,
When ev'ry bell's been rung,
When ev'ry picture's hung,
I'll still love you.
When ev'ry wind has blown,
When ev'ry seed is sown,
When ev'rything is known,
Then I'll still love you.
You know that I'll love you,
Yes, I will.
You know I'll love you, love you, love you,
Always will, until
When ev'ry soul is free,
When ev'ry eye can see,
When people all agree,
Then I'll still love you.
You know I'll love you,
Yes, I do.
When times gets so hard, you know,
I'll be there loving you.
You know I'll love you,
Yes, I will.
Yes I'm gonna hold you, need you, love you,
Always will, love you still.
When ev'ry note's been sung,
When ev'ry bell's been rung,
When ev'ry picture's hung,
I'll still love you.
I really love you.
Flying Hour (Version 1) (1981) George Harrison (From the withdrawn version of "Somewhere In England")All through my life I've been hearing
All about those good old days.
It makes no diff'rence,
What was or what may be.
The past it is gone,
The future may not be at all,
The present improve the flying hour.
Some people look into the future,
They're hoping that they'll see better days.
It's such a sweet thought,
It's something that could be.
The past it is gone,
The future may not be at all,
The present improve the flying hour.
What was and what may be,
Is not here, it is not clear to me.
Right now is the one thing
That I can feel, the one thing real to me,
Uh-uh - uh-uh.
So as you sit back to remember
That which you cannot recall.
It makes no diff'rence,
What was or what may be.
The past it is gone,
The future may not be at all,
The present improve the flying hour.
It makes no diff'rence,
What was or what may be.
The past it is gone,
The future may not be at all,
The present improve the flying hour, uh-uh, uh-uh.
The past it is gone,
The future may not be at all,
The present improve the flying hour.
I know that I seem strange to you sometimes,
And who is it in here, you have often thought.
But what can I tell you that you don't know already?
It's even the times like this will roll away.
But I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you,
That's all that I have ever really wanted.
I know that it will work out all the same,
And whoever it is in here can overcome the pain.
The true friend's shoulder to lean on, I'll make it through,
And over and over I feel for you.
But I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you,
That's all that I have ever really wanted.
Mm, oh yeah,
You know that sometimes a man
He has nowhere to lay his head.
But what can I tell you that you don't know already?
It's even the times like this will roll away.
But I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you,
That's all that I have ever really wanted.
Mm, oh yeah,
You know that sometimes a man
He has nowhere to lay his head.
Nowhere, I said nowhere,
Nowhere to lay his head.
(But what can I tell you that you don't know already?)
Sat Singing George Harrison (From the withdrawn version of "Somewhere In England")Sitting as the noonday sun
Shines high up in a clear blue sky.
While warming me I drift away
No mem'ries of the times gone by.
Oh, the moment that I lose my mind,
You come into my heart and say
I'm always here for you to love,
Surrender to me, let me stay-ay-ay.
Oo-oo -
Oo-oo, du, du, du, du, du, du, du.
Sinking deeper still inside,
I feel awakened from my dreams.
Resting in some golden flow,
Becoming part of you it seems.
Nothing separates my life
From that which we have called our goal,
It's all in this external world
As results from deep within my soul-oul-oul.
Oo-oo -
Oo-oo, du, du, du, du, du, du, du.
Oo-oo, du, du, du, du, du, du, du.
As I open up my eyes,
The sky has changed into a glow.
My sense of time had disappeared,
I see the sun has sunken low.
I feel such joy and call your name,
You're ev'rything my eyes could see.
I'll gladly kiss it all goodbye,
Stay ever in your company-ny-ny.
Oo-oo -
Oo-oo, du, du, du, du, du, du, du.
Oo-oo, sri krishna,
Du, du, du, du, du, du, du.
Sat singing.
Sat, sat.
War mongers terrorise us all,
Our leaders heed us to their call.
Stonewallin, voices calling,
Drowning in the tears of the world.
Big business calling ev'ry tune,
Polluting here and to the moon.
All nations, conservations,
Drowning in the tears of the world.
But your lives worth saving,
We should start behaving
Like the truth's been told
By saviours through our time.
Your downfall, you'll bring it on yourselves.
All warning fall upon deaf ears,
Their scorn compounding my worst fears.
No way out, hopeless souls shout,
Drowning in the tears of the world.
Drowning in the tears of the world,
Tears of the world.
Where's your love been sleeping?
Has your heart been weeping
Over all unrighteous action in the world
Where bad jazz seems all they're laying down?
No use in turning your blind eye,
You feel the heat as you fry.
Try your best, you'll find no rest,
Drowning in the tears of the world.
It's a sure bet, each pays his debts,
Drowning in the tears of the world.
Wrack my brain, wrack my brain,
Till my head's filled with pain,
Wrack my brain.
All dried up, I'm all dried up,
All I have's this empty cup,
All dried up.
What I have, you don't want,
What you want, I can't give.
I got out of touch with you and yours,
The way that you live.
I try to do my best for you,
While the sky pours down the rain,
Wrack my brain.
With a will there's a way,
But there's no way I can see,
Coming up with something you'd enjoy
As much as TV
All the same, I play the game,
Up and down old memory lane,
Wrack my brain, (wrack my brain)
Till my head is filled with pain,
Wrack my brain, (wrack my brain)
While I slowly go insane,
Wrack my brain. (wrack my brain)

Free and dandy, free and dandy, free and dandy,
Free and dandy, free and dandy, free and dandy.
Gotta save, gotta save, gotta save the world,
Someone else may wanna use it.
So far we've seen,
This planet's rape, how we've abused it.
We've gotta save the world.
The Russians have the biggest share,
With their long fingers ev'rywhere.
And now they've bombs in outer space,
With laser beams and atomic waste.
Rain forests chopped for paper towels,
One hundred acres ev'ry hour.
Our birds and wildlife all destroyed
To keep some millionaires employed.
We've got to save the whale,
Greenpeace, god knows, they sure do it.
But dog food salesmen
Persist unkindly to harpoon it.
We've gotta save the world.
The armament consortium,
They're selling us plutonium.
Now you can make your own h-bomb,
Right in the kitchen with your mom.
The nuclear power that costs you more
Than anything you've known before.
The half-wit's answer to a need
For cancer, death, destruction, greed.
Them greedy bastards!
We've gotta save the world,
Someone's children, they may need it.
So far we've seen,
The big business of extinction bleed it,
We've gotta save the world.
We're at the mercy of so few,
With evil hearts determined to
Reduce this planet into hell
Then find a buyer and make quick sale.
To end up on a happy note,
Like trying to make concrete float,
It's very simple knowing that
God in your heart lives.
We've gotta save the world,
Someone else may wanna use it.
It's time you knew,
How close we've come, oh, we're gonna lose it.
Gotta save, gotta save, gotta save the world.
Save the world,
Save the world.

I can't understand how I've gone astray,
I should be sailing away on a liner.
I was knocked on my back on a dock at yang-tse,
It's a hell of a way to see china.
But I'm ready.
You must be crazy...
And you got no money...
And you're a liar...
My straits are dire from the wok into the fire,
I'd like to trust you but I've broken my rickshaw.
Sometimes there's no hope in, in chasing opium,
I'd like to love you but I'm not sure what's in your eyes,
Mm, Shanghai surprise.
Whatever you're saying, I want it anyway in
Been hanging 'round like a kid at your back door.
Oh, babe!
You could be kinder, and show me Asia Minor,
I'll let you love me, let you see what's here in my eyes,
Shanghai surprise.
You must be crazy... crazy...
And you got no money... money...
And it seems like madness...
Back streets so crowded that no room to swing a cat,
I'd like to know you but you're acting so coolie.
I'm finding out pursued by evil looking dudes,
It's getting hot for me like tofu when it deep fries,
Oh, Shanghai surprise.
But, baby, you look like any common crook
That's hanging 'round in those real shady places.
Oh, baby!
While you assess me, why not try to impress me?
Step over here, let me see what's there in your eyes,
Oh, Shanghai surprise.
I don't understand how I got delayed,
I should be sailing today on a liner.
Was kicked in the ass on a dock at yang-tse,
It's no way for a man to see China.
But I'm ready.
You must be crazy... crazy...
And you got no money... money...
But you're a tryer...
My straits are dire from the wok into the fire,
I'd like to meet you but I've broken my chopstick.
Sometimes there's no hope in, in chasing promises,
I wanna love you though it could prove to be unwise,
Shanghai surprise.
Whatever you're saying, I want it anyway in
In hanging 'round for a ride on your rickshaw.
Oh, babe!
You may correct me, now that you've inspected me,
Come over here, let me feel you cut down to size,
Oh, Shanghai surprise.
My straits are dire from the wok into the fire,
I'd like to know you but I'm not really social.
Sometimes it's no joke, can't cope with opium,
I'd like to love you but I'm not sure what's in your eyes,
Shanghai surprise.
Shanghai surprise.
Shanghai surprise.
And you got no money...
But you're a tryer...
Zig zag,
Zig zag,
Zig zag.
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo,
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo.
Oh, zig zag.
Zig zag,
Zig zag,
Zig zag.
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo,
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo.
Oh, zig zag.

Oh, zig zag.
Run So Far (1989) George Harrison (recorded by Eric Clapton)You fly
Out as your smile wears thin.
And I sigh,
Knowing the mess you're in.
And you know that you can't get away,
And you know you can't hide it from yourself.
Lonely days,
Heavy heart,
No escape,
Can only run so far.
I know,
Something I ought to say,
Stuck here,
Trying to find a way.
And you know that you can't get away,
And you know you can't hide it from yourself.
Lonely nights,
Blue guitar,
No way out,
Can only run so far.
Lonesome tears,
At the bar,
One way street,
Can only run so far.
Uh, uh,
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh.
I pray
That you might make it through
Those teardrops,
They now seem a part of you.
And you know that you can't get away,
And you know you can't hide it from yourself.
Fallin' down,
Under par,
Can't get out,
Can only run so far.
Lonely days,
Heavy heart,
No escape,
Can only run so far.
Lonesome tears,
At the bar,
One way street,
Can only run so far.
Uh, uh,
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh.
Uh, uh,
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh.
She's that kind of woman, no doubt about how she feels.
She's holding promises, her eyes won't tell,
Her lips are sealed.
And I like her like that,
She's kind of crazy.
I think I know what I'm looking for, that kind of woman.
I think I know what I'm looking for, that kind of woman.
Standing in the doorway with the sunlight in her hair,
Just watching the wind blow, you know,
She don't have a care.
I like her like that,
'Cause she's kind of crazy.
I think I know what I'm looking for, that kind of woman.
I think I know what I'm looking for, that kind of woman.
She's got to look so cool, you know what I mean.
Got the wickedest smile that I've ever seen.
I crashed my heart on the side of the street that she stood on,
She's that kind of woman.
I like her like that,
She's pretty amazing.
I understand why I want some more, that kind of woman.
One look from her knocks me on the floor, that kind of woman.
She's that kind of lady that you meet in a dream of dreams.
She's always in the shadow, but you know,
This woman's real.
And I like her like that,
'Cause she's kind of crazy.
I think I know what I'm looking for, that kind of woman.
I think I know what I'm looking for, that kind of woman, mm.
I think I know what I'm looking for, that kind of woman.
I said, I know what I'm looking for, that kind of woman.
That kind of woman,
That kind of woman.
That kind of woman.
That kind of woman.
That kind of woman.
That kind of woman.
That kind of woman.
That kind of woman.
Oo-oo-oo,
Oo-oo-oo.
Thrown like a star in my vast sleep,
I opened my eyes to take a peep.
To find that I was by the sea,
Gazing with tranquility.
'Twas then when the hurdy gurdy man
Come singing songs of love.
Then when the hurdy gurdy man
Come singing songs of love.
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy, he sang.
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy, he sang.
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy, he sang.
Wah-wah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Histories of ages past,
Unenlightened shadows cast.
Down through all eternity,
The crying of humanity.
'Tis then when the hurdy gurdy man
Come singing the songs of love.
Then when the hurdy gurdy man
Come singing the song of love.
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy, he sang.
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy, he sang.
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy, he sang.
When I wrote this song I was in india with four Beatles, one Beach Boy and Mia Farrow.
We were gathered together one day in the Maharishi's Bungalow, these four Beatles,
One Beach Boy and Mia Farrow. There was an embarassing silence in the room. Maharishi he sat crosslegged on the floor, on his disc as was his wold. and John Lennon, the wit and the humorous, he decided to break the the silence so he walked up to the Maharishi as he sat on the floor and he patted him on the head and he said: "there's a good guru!" We all laughed and Maharashi laughed the loudest. Later that night as we were gathered together on the roof of our bungalow, under the tropical indian stars, We brought out the guitars and I started to write this song. it went like this:
Oo-oo-oo,
Oo-oo-oo.
And George Harrison he turned to me and he said:
"I could write a verse for that song, Donovan."
And he did, but I never recorded it!
But would you like to hear that long lost verse of George?
Yeah!
Okay, George wrote, I love George, he said this:
When the truth gets buried deep
Beneath the thousand years of sleep
Time demands a turn around
And once again the truth is found.
Yeah, George!
Awakening the hurdy gurdy man
Who comes singing songs of love.
Then when the hurdy gurdy man
They come singing songs of love.
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy, he sang.
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy, he sang.
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy, he sang.
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurd.
