Big Barn Bed

Paul McCartney

Who's that coming round that corner
Who's that coming round that bend
Who's that coming round that corner, will it
Will it be my friend

Keep on sleeping in a big barn bed
Keep on sleeping in a big barn bed

Who you gonna weep on?
Who you gonna sleep on?
Who you gonna creep on next?
Weeping on a willow
Sleeping on a pillow
Leaping armadillo, yes

Keep on sleeping in a big barn bed etc.
Will it be my friend
Keep on sleeping in a big barn bed

Who you gonna weep on?
Who you gonna sleep on?
Who's you gonna creep on next?
Weeping on a willow
Sleeping on a pillow
Leaping armadillo, yes

Keep on sleeping in a big barn bed
Keep on sleeping in a big barn bed etc.

My Love

Paul McCartney

And when I go away
I know my heart can stay with my love
It's understood
It's in the hands of my love
And my love does it good
Wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo
My love does it good

And when the cupboards bare
I'll still find something there with my love
It's understood
It's everywhere with my love
And my love does it good
Wo-wo-wo-wo wo-wo-wo-wo
My love does it good

I love oh wo...my love
Only my love holds the other key to me
Oh...my love oh...my love
Only my love does it good to me

Solo

Wo-wo-wo-wo wo-wo-wo-wo
My love does it good

Don't ever ask me why
I never say goodbye to my love
It's understood
It's everywhere with my love
And my love does it good
Wo-wo-wo-wo wo-wo-wo-wo
My love does it good
Oh...my love oh...my love
Only my love does it good to me
Wo...

Paul McCartney

All at once you get love on your mind
And your world is as kind as a penny

My little love you cant go wrong
Get on the right thing
Get on the right thing
Get on tee right thing do
Get on the right thing you

All at once we see things in our skies
And we both realize it together
Well you know they were wrong
Get on the right thing
Yes you knew it all along
Get on the right thing
Believe me its so
Because I happen to know
You can't go wrong

Get on the right thing, get on the right thing,
Get on the right thing
You can't go wrong get on the right thing
And try a little love
And it can't go wrong
Get on the right thing you etc.
Try a little love, you can't go wrong
Get on the right thing etc.

One More Kiss

Paul McCartney

Only one more kiss
I didn't mean to hurt you little girl
Let's make it one to remember
Only one more kiss

I said a foolish thing last night
I didn't think you'd take it bad
But now I'm on my way again and just before I go

Only one more kiss
I never mean to hurt you little girl
Let's make it one to remember
Only one more kiss

Solo

Only one more kiss
I didn't mean to hurt you little girl
Let's make it one to remember
Only one more kiss

Somebody's built a home for us
Someday we'll see it standing there
But like the wind that has to blow
I must be on my way

Only one more kiss
I never mean to hurt you little girl
Let's make it one to remember
Only one more kiss
Well only one more kiss

Little Lamb Dragonfly 1

Paul McCartney

I have no answer for you little lamb
I can help you out
But I cannot help you in
Sometimes you think that life is hard
And this is only one of them
My heart is breaking for you little lamb
I can help you out
But we may never meet again

La la la la la la la la... etc.

Dragonfly fly by my window
You and I still have a way to go
Don't know why you hang around my door
I don't live here any more
Since you ve gone I never know
I go on, but I miss you so

Dragonfly don't keep me waiting
I'm waiting can't you see me I'm waiting
When we try we'll have a way to go
Dragonfly you've been away too long
How did two rights make a wrong
Since you've gone I never know I go on
But I miss you so in my heart
I feel the pain
Keeps coming back again

Dragonfly fly by my window
I'm flying can't you see me I'm flying
You and I can find a way to see
Dragonfly the years ahead will show
How little we really know
Since you've gone its never right they go on
The lonely nights, come on home
And make it right

My heart is aching for you little lamb
I can help you out
But I cannot help you in

La la la la la la la la... etc.

Single Pigeon

Paul McCartney

Single pigeon through the railing
Did she throw you out
Sunday morning fight about Saturday night

Single seagull gliding over Regent's Park Canal
Do you need a pal for a minute or two
You do?
Me too, me too, me too
I'm a lot like you
Me too, me too, me too
I'm a lot like you

Did she! turf you out in the cold morning rain again
Me too, me too, me too
I'm a lot like you
Me too, me too, me too
I'm a lot like you

Sunday morning fight about Saturday night

When The Night 2

Paul McCartney

Well the night was beautiful and mellow, mellow
And the light of the night fell on me, fell on me
You said right
Made me a happy fellow, fellow
And the light of the night fell on me
I never will forget the night
I held you close, I held you tight
Oh darling, don't you know
The way you made my senses reel?
I fell in love and now I feel
Like I will never go
Oh little darling don't you know

That the night was marvelous and yellow, yellow
And the light of the night fell on me

And the light of the night fell on me

I never will forget the way
You taught me how to swing and sway
Oh darling don't you know
That ever since that special day
My mind can only contemplate
The magic that you show
Oh little darling don't you know
That the night is beautiful and yellow, yellow
And the light of the night fell on me
Yeah the light of the night fell on me etc.

Hands Of Love

I can't get over myself
Falling into the hands of love
Just can't imagine myself
Falling head over heals in love
But when I saw you last night
I knew for the first time
That you were the one I'd been dreaming of
I cant get over myself
Falling into the hands of love
Falling into the hands of love

But when I saw you last night
I knew for the first time
That you were the one I'd been dreaming of
I can't get over myself
Falling into the hands of love
Falling into the hands of love
Love sweet love

But when I saw you last night
I knew for the first time
That you were the one I'd been dreaming of
I can't get over myself
Falling into the hands of love
Falling into the hands of love
Love sweet love

Power Cut

There may be a powercut
And the candles burn down low
But something inside of me
Says the bad news isn't so

I may never tell you
But baby you should know
There may be a miracle
And baby I love you so

Baby I love you so
Baby I love you so

Baby I love you so
Baby I love you so
Baby I love you so

I may never tell you
But baby you should know
There may be a miracle
And baby I love you so

Baby I love you so
Baby I love you so
Baby I love you so

Baby I love you so
Baby I love you so
Baby I love you so...

Hi, Hi, Hi 4

Paul McCartney

Well, when I met you at the station
You were standing with a bootleg in your hand.
I took you back to my little place
For a taste of a multicoloured band.
We're gonna get hi hi hi,
The night is young.
She'll be my funky little mama,
Gonna rock it and we've only just begun.

We're gonna get hi hi hi
With the music on.
Won't say bye-bye bye-bye bye-bye bye-bye
'Til the night is gone.
I'm gonna do it to you, gonna do it,
Sweet banana, you'll never give up.
We're gettin' hi hi hi in the midday sun.

Well well, take off your face,
Recover from the trip you've been on.
I want to lie on the bed,
Get you ready for my polygon.
I'm gonna do it to you, gonna do it,
Sweet banana, you've never been done.
Yes, I go like a rabbit, gonna grab it,
Gonna do it 'til the night is done.

We're gonna get hi hi hi with the music on.
Won't say bye-bye bye-bye bye-bye bye-bye
'Til the night is gone.
I'm gonna do it to you, gonna do it,
Sweet banana, you'll never give up.
We're gonna get hi hi hi, we're gonna get hi hi hi,
We're gonna get hi hi hi in the midday sun.

The Mess

Paul McCartney

You sailed away one night in june
I heard you say you would be back soon
But since that day it's been on long loon

Oh-sweet darling the mess I'm in

I spoke to Jimmy with the big tattoo
Said had he seen any sign of you
He looked at me and then laughed at you
See just wait a minute, oh darling what a mess I'm in

When I want ya do I get ya
All I needed your number,
Will you give me your number

Oh sweet darling
Oh sweet darling
Oh-sweet darling what a mess I'm in
What a mess I'm in, since you left me
What a mess I'm in, oh yeah
Oh oh-oh oh wo-wo
Oh oh-oh wo, wo-wo

When you're near me
Can you hear me
I can't see ya
I can feel ya
When you're near me
Can ya hear me

I Lie Around

Paul McCartney

I lie around
All over the place

It seems that I have no choice in the matter
Roll along wheel of fortune
As you roll along I stick around
Furthermore in the country
I will lay my burden down
I lie around
I lie around
I lie around
All over the place
All over the place
All over the place
All over the place

Too long have I been the heart of the matter
All along I was only over tired and overtaken
Furthermore in the country
I will lay my burden down
I lie around
I lie around
I lie around
All over the place

So long, bye bye, it was fun while it mattered
Roll along wheel of fortune
As you roll along I stick around
Furthermore in the country
I will lay my burden down

Yes, I lie around
All over the place
All over the place
All over the place
I lie around, around

C Moon 5

Paul McCartney

C moon C moon C moon is she.
C moon C moon C moon to me.

How come no one older than me
Ever seems to understand the things I wanna to do?
It will be l7 and I'd never get to heaven
If I filled my head with glue
What's it all to you?

C moon, C moon, C moon is she
C moon, C moon, C moon to me

Bobby lived with Patty
But they never told her daddy
What their love was all about
She could tell her lover that he thought but
She never was the type to let it out
What's it all about?

C moon, C moon, oh C moon are we
C moon, C moon, C moon are we

How come no one older than me
Ever seems to understand the things I wanna to do?
It will be l7 and I'd never get to heaven
If I filled my head with glue
What's it all to you?

C moon, C moon, C moon is she
C moon, C moon, C moon to me

Bobby lived with Patty
But they never told her daddy
What their love was all about
She could tell her lover that he thought but
She never wanted to let it out
What's it all about?

C moon, C moon, C moon are we
C moon, C moon, C moon are we

Well what's it all about?

C moon, C moon, C moon are we
C moon are we
