Early

(1970) Richard Starkey

Lives on a farm, got plenty of charm, beep, beep.
He's got no cows but he's sure got a whole lotta sheep.
And brand new wife and a family,
And when he comes to town,
I wonder if he'll play with me.

Laying in bed, watching tv, cookie!
With his mama by his side, she's japanese.
They scream and they cried, now they're free,
And when he comes to town,
I know he's gonna play with me.

He's a long-haired, cross-legged guitar picker, um-um.
With his long-legged lady in the garden picking daisies for his soup.
A forty acre house he doesn't see,
'Cause he's always in town
Playing for you with me.

I play guitar, a - d - e.
I don't play bass 'cause that's too hard for me.
I play the piano if it's in c.
And when I go to town I wanna see all three,
And when I go to town I wanna see all three,
And when I go to town I wanna see all three.

Blindman

Richard Starkey

Blindman, with your piece of paper, what you gonna do?
Blindman, with your paper, can you see it through?
Your name on that paper means so much to you,
You made a promise, you would get them through.
The girls to the miners, you would fix them too.
They've been taken,
You've lost them all and the money too.
They've been taken,
You've lost them all and the money too.

Come on, blue, what you gonna do now?
Come on, blue, what you gonna do now?

Mexico, you've got to go, you know it just ain't fair-
To get your women back, now hurry because they're all there.
You're all alone but you'll make it alright,
You'll find your women there
But to get them, you'll have to fight.

Come on, blue, what you gonna do now?
Come on, blue, what you gonna do now?

Come on, blue, what you gonna do now?
Come on, blue, what you gonna do now?

Come on, blue, what you gonna do now?

Down And Out

(1973) Richard Starkey

Looked at the sky, what did I see?
I saw someone looking at me.
And I'm down and out, down and out,
Well, I'm down, so down, down and out.

Looked in the fire, what did I see?
I saw someone looking at me.
And I'm down and out, down and out,
Well, I'm down, so down, down and out.

Alright, Gary!

Looked in the fridge, what did I see?
I saw someone looking at me.
And I'm down and out, down and out,
Well, I'm down, so down, yeah, down and out.

Looked at the sky, what did I see?
I saw someone looking at me.
And I'm down and out, down and out,
Well, I'm down, so down, down and out.

Looked in the fire, what did I see?
I saw someone looking at me.
And I'm down and out, down and out,
Well, I'm down, so down, down and out,
Well, I'm down, so down, down and out.

Rock And Roller

Richard Starkey and Billy Lawrie (recorded by Billy Lawrie)

Oh! oh! oh! oh!

Where you're goin', I don't know,
But when you come back it won't be the same, no, no.
No, no, babe.
Ah, when you come back, babe,
It won't be the same no more.

Ah, and how you got there, I don't care,
But when you get there, you won't be anywhere.
Wait and see, (when you get there you won't be anywhere)

Ooh, wait and see, child, (when you get there you won't be anywhere)

Ah, but when you come back, baby,
Don't come looking for me.

Laughing's hard and it's easy,
At last I really feel alive.
But since you said you were leaving,
I found that I can really ji-i-i-i-i-ive.

Rock and roller, right out the door,
She's a rock and roller and she rock my soul.
Rock and roll, (rock and roller, she rock my soul)

Rock and roll, (rock and roller, she rock my soul)

But when you come back, babe,
You won't rock and roll no more.

Rock!

Hoo!
Yeah!

Rock and roller, right out the door,
She's a rock and roller and she rock my soul.
Rock and roll, (rock and roller, she rock my soul)

Oh, rock and roll, baby, (rock and roller, she rock my soul)

Ah, but when you come back, babe,
You won't rock and roll no more.

Rock and roll, (rock and roller, she rock my soul)

Oh, rock and roll, baby, (rock and roller, she rock my soul)

Rock and roll, (rock and roller, she rock my soul)

Rock and roll, child, (rock and roller, she rock my soul)

Ah, but when you come back, babe,
You won't rock and roll no more, no, no, no, no.

Oh! oh! oh! oh! oh! oh!
Rock, rock, rock and roll, babe,
You know, you know, you're rocking on me,
Oh, rock and roll, child,
Yeah, you rock me, rock me, baby, won't you shock me?
Rock me, rock me, baby, won't you shock?
Rock and roll, babe,
Oh! oh! oh! rock and roll, child,
Oh, rock and roll, babe,
Oh, rock and roll, child, yeah,
Rock and roll,
Oh, rock and roll, girl,
Rock and roll, babe.

Band Of Steel

Richard Starkey (recorded by Guthrie Thomas)

Ev'rytime we go out dancin',
Ev'rybody just stops and stares.
I don't mind as long as they don't take her,
And when we get home, you tell me you still care.

I've been with you for so many days now,
Hope it goes on for a long, long time.
One of these days, you might change your ways
An' send me back them cold coal mines.

Well, this song is getting like jimmie rogers,
You know that man he died of t.b.
An' he sang his song as he went along
And nobody even gave him a cup of tea.

The next one was the great, great Hank Williams,
He sure knew how to moan the blues.
When he came to town, ev'ryone looked around
To see where the drunken fool could be.

They sang out their songs for all you people,
Gave you ev'rything they ever had.
But nobody cares about a dead man
And sending wreaths is something they don't understand.

Well, this song could go on for a long time,
It started as a message to my queen.
She understands why I'm ramblin',
'Cause I find it hard to tell her what I mean.

You see, she's sittin' pretty on the phone, now,
Talkin' to someone that I'll never know.
An' if she has to leave to go to phoenix,
I'll understand but I'll never let her go.

So strap my heart with a band of steel,
Lock me up, never let me go.
Well, if I get this sad on a glass of orange juice,
Give me some brandy and I'll show you how it goes.

But they sang out their songs for all you people,
Gave you ev'rything they ever had.
But nobody cares about a dead man
Sendin' wreaths is something they don't understand.

Yoddellaihee-hee-hee-hee....
Yo-yo-yo-yo-yo-yo-yo-yo.....

Just A Dream

Richard Starkey and Vini Poncia

Things are never really what they seem to be,
Is it all outside or just inside of me?
Still I got to carry on and on, (and on)

Even when all hope is gone.

Never knowing who is right and what is wrong,
Spending all my time locked up inside this hole.
Words of love that simply can't explain (explain)

All the joy and all the pain.

And then you came like a dream in the night,
I can't refuse you when I'm holding you tight.
And then I wake up, (wake up)

And in the morning light, (morning light, morning light)

It's all just a dream, (dream)

It's all just a dream. (dream)

Now I have to face another day,
Never knowing if you're near or far away.
Keeping you locked inside my mind, (my mind)

When I sleep, the key I find.

And then you came like a dream in the night,
I can't refuse you when I'm holding you tight.
And then I wake up, (wake up)

And in the morning light, (morning light, morning light)

But it's all just a dream, (dream)

It's all just a dream.

(oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo)
(oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo)
(oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo -)

And then you came like a dream in the night,
I can't refuse you when I'm holding you tight.
And then I wake up, (wake up)

And in the morning light, (morning light, morning light)

It's all just a dream, (dream)

It's all just a dream.

And then you came like a dream in the night,
I can't refuse you when I'm holding you tight.
And then I wake up, (wake up)

And in the morning light, (morning light -)

It's all just a dream,
It's all just a dream, (just a dream)

It's all just a dream,
It's all just a dream, (just a dream)

It's all just a dream,
It's all just a dream. (just a dream)

(oo -)

How Long Can Disco On

(1980) Harry Nilsson and Richard Starkey

Disco, (disco) disco, (disco) slowly, (slowly)
Disco, (disco) disco (disco) discway. (diskway)

You know (you know) she go (she go disco)
She know (she know) you know (you know) reggae.

One night, it was a late night, had to disco,
Doo doo doo-doo-doo-doo-doo.
Slowly, (slowly) slowly, (slowly) disco. (disco)

He say (he say) you know hello, (hello, hello, disco)
Closer, (closer) closer, (closer) disco.

Disco.
Disco.

Dj, (dj) he play (he play) reggae,
Doo doo doo-doo-doo-doo-doo.
Dj, (dj) he play (he play) reggae.

And I said, (i said) do you wanna dance reggae?
She said, (she said) on no, (oh no) disco. (disco)

All night long they played the same old song, disco.
I'm on my own, I'll sing along with reggae.
Oh, reggae, reggae, slowly, (slowly) doo-doo-doo-doo-doo.
Slowly, (slowly) slowly, (slowly) slowly, (slowly)
Slowly, (slowly) slowly, (slowly) slowly, (slowly)
Slowly, (slowly) slowly, (slowly) slowly. (slowly)

It's hard to get in there,
We're all so afraid we'll reggae.
Disco, oh no, oh no, disco,
How long can disco on?

Nonsense

(1985) Steve Allen (From "Alice in Wonderland" tv special. us premiere by CBS tv 9, 10/12 1985)

Please tell me, young lady, just what is so good
About never once being misunderstood.
There's far too much accurate communication,
And if it continues, I fear for the nation.

Nonsense, nonsense,
That's what we're terribly short of.
Don't you love nonsense?

We're getting lethargic
From aiming at logic,
Let's put a stop to that.
If you don't love nonsense,
I'll knock off your hat!

Nonsense, nonsense,
Simply can't do without it.

And sing us a song about it.

Let young master billy
Be hopelessly silly
Until he is blue in the face.

We must never be grave,
This nonsense will save
The blooming human race.

Nonsense, nonsense,
Simply can't do without it.

And sing us a song about it.

Everybody Wins

Richard Starkey and Johnny Warman

Will we ever learn what makes this world go round?
Now it's our concern, we still return.
To the same old ground.
Nothing is new under the sun,
But things will get better when we all are one,
We'll play a diff'rent game.

Harmony is fine but after a time,
Well, the key must change.
Open your eyes, don't lose your way,
Remember today.

Ah, ev'ryone wins,
The light that's shining out from you
Will touch ev'rything that you see.
Ah, ev'ryone wins,
You reach into the silence you will find
It's the time to believe.

Take care of yourself, there's no mystery.
Try to understand ev'rything's planned,
It's more than all you need.
Magic may come, magic may go,
It's not the end of the show.

Ah, ev'ryone wins,
The light that's shining out from you
Will touch ev'rything that you see.
Ah, ev'ryone wins,
You reach into the silence you will find
It's the time to believe.

One day you will find,
The doubts you've had are taken from your mind, (taken from your mind)

Taken from your mind.

Ah, ev'ryone wins,
The light that's shining out from you
Will touch ev'rything that you see.
Ah, ev'ryone wins,
You reach into the silence you will find
It's the time to believe.

Ev'ryone wins,
Ev'ryone wins,
Ev'ryone wins in the end.
