Two of Us:

Two of us riding nowhere
Spending someone’s hard earned pay,
You and me Sunday driving,
Not arriving on our way back home.
We’re on our way home,
We’re on our way home,
We’re going home.
You and I have memories
Longer than the road that stretches out ahead.
Two of us sending postcards
Writing letters on my wall.
You and me burning matches,
Lifting latches on our way back home.
We’re on our way home,
We’re on our way home,
We’re going home.
Two of us wearing raincoats
Standing solo in the sun.
You and me chasing paper,
Getting nowhere on our way back home.
We’re on our way home,
We’re on our way home,
We’re on our way home

Dig a Pony:

I dig a pony
Well you can celebrate anything you want
Yes you celebrate anything you want
Ooh.
I do a road hog
Well you can penetrate any place you go,
Yes you can penetrate any place you go
I told you so, all I want is you.
Ev’rything has got to be just like you want it to.
Because –
I pick a moon dog
Well you can radiate ev’rything you are
Yes you can radiate ev’rything you are –
Ooh.
I roll a stoney
Well you can imitate ev’ryone you know
Yes you can imitate ev’ryone you know.
I told you so, all I want is you.
Ev’rything has got to be just like you want it to.
Because –
I feel the wind blow
Well you can indicate ev’rything you see
Yes you can indicate ev’rything you see –
Ooh.
I dig a pony
Well you can syndicate any boat you row
Yes you can syndicate any boat you row.
I told you so, all I want is you.
Ev’rything has got to be just like you want it to.
Because –

Across the Universe:

Words are flying out like endless rain into a paper cup,
They slither while they pass, they slip away across the universe.
Pools of sorrow waves of joy are drifting through my open mind,
Possessing and caressing me.
Jai Guru De Va Om
Nothing’s gonna change my world
Nothing’s gonna change my world.
Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes,
That call me on and on across the universe,
Thoughts meander like a restless wind
Inside a letter box they
Tumble blindly as they make their way
Across the universe
Jai Guru De Va Om
Nothing’s gonna change my world
Nothing’s gonna change my world.
Sounds of laughter shades of earth are ringing
Through my open views inciting and inviting me.
Limitless undying love which shines around me like a million suns,
It calls me on and on across the universe
Jai Guru De Va Om
Nothing’s gonna change my world
Nothing’s gonna change my world

I Me Mine:

All thru’ the day I me mine,
I me mine, I me mine.
All thru’ the night I me mine, I me mine, I me mine.
Now they’re frightened of leaving it,
Ev’ryone’s weaving it,
Coming on strong all the time,
All thru’ the day I me mine.
I-I me-me mine, I-I me-me mine,
I-I me-me mine, I-I me-me mine.
All I can hear I me mine, I me mine, I me mine.
Even those tears I me mine, I me mine, I me mine.
No-one’s frightened of playing it, ev’ryone’s saying it.
Flowing more freely than wine,
All thru’ the day I me mine.
I-I me-me mine, I-I me-me mine. 
I-I me-me mine, I-I me-me mine.
All I can hear I me mine, I me mine, I me mind.
Even those tears I me mine, I me mine, I me mine.
No-one’s frightened of playing it, ev’ryone’s saying it,
All thru’ your life I me mine

Dig It:

Like a rolling stone
A like a rolling stone
Like the FBI and the CIA
And the BBC… BB king,
And Doris Day,
Matt Busby.
Dig it, dig it, dig it,
Dig it, dig it, dig it, dig it, dig it, dig it, dig it, dig it

Let It Be:

When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
And when the broken hearted people
Living in the world agree,
There will be an answer, let it be.
For though they may be parted there is
Still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, let it be.
Let it be, let it be. Yeah
There will be an answer, let it be.
And when the night is cloudy, 
There is a light that shines on me,
Shine until tomorrow, let it be.
I wake up to the sound of music,
Mother Mary comes to me,
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be.
There will be an answer, let it be.
Let it be, let it be,
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Maggie Mae:

Oh, dirty Maggie Mae
they have taken her away
and she'll never walk 
down Lime Street anymore 
Oh, the judge she guilty found her
of robbing the homeward bounder 
dirty no good robbin' Maggie Mae 
It's the part of Liverpool 
She returned me to 
Two pound ten a week 
that was my pay

I've Got a Feeling:

I’ve got a feeling, a feeling deep inside
Oh yeah, Oh yeah.
I’ve got a feeling, a feeling I can’t hide
Oh no, Oh no, Oh no,
Yeah I’ve got a feeling.
Oh please believe me
I’d hate to miss the train
Oh yeah, Oh yeah.
And if you leave me I won’t be late again
Oh no, Oh no, Oh no.
Yeah I’ve got a feeling yeah.
All these years I’ve been wandering around,
Wondering how come nobody told me
All that I was looking for was somebody
Who looked like you.
Ev’rybody had a hard year
Ev’rybody had a good time
Ev’rybody had a wet dream,
Ev’rybody saw the sunshine
Oh yeah, Oh yeah, Oh yeah.
Ev’rybody had a good year,
Ev’rybody let their hair down,
Ev’rybody pulled their socks up,
Ev’rybody put their foot down.
Oh yeah, Oh yeah, Oh yeah

One After 909:

My baby says she’s trav’ling on the One after
Nine-O-Nine.
I said move over honey I’m traveling on that line.
I said move over once, move over twice,
Come on baby don’t be cold as ice.
I said I’m trav’ling on the One after Nine-O-Nine.
I begged her not to go and I begged her on my bended knees,
You’re only fooling around, you’re fooling around with me.
I said move over once, move over twice,
Come on baby don’t be cold as ice.
I said I’m trav’ling on the One after Nine-O-Nine.
I’ve got my bag,
Run to the station.
Railman says you’ve got the wrong location.
I’ve got my bag.
Run right home.
Then I find I’ve got the number wrong,
Well I said I’m trav’ling on the One after
Nine-O-Nine.
I said move over honey I’m traveling on that line.
I said move over once, move over twice,
Come on baby don’t be cold as ice.
I said we’re trav’ling on the One after
Nine-o,
I said we’re trav’ling on the One after
Nine-O,
I said we’re trav’ling on the One after
Nine-O-Nine

The Long and Winding Road:

The long and winding road that leads to your door,
Will never disappear, I’ve seen that road before
It always leads me here, leads me to your door.
The wild and windy night that the rain washed away,
Has left a pool of tears crying for the day.
Why leave me standing here, let me know the way.
Many times I’ve been alone and many times I’ve cried,
Anyway you’ll never know the many ways I’ve tried, but
Still they lead me back to the long and winding road,
You left me standing here a long, long time ago.
Don’t leave me waiting here, lead me to your door.
Da da, da da –

For You Blue:

Because you’re sweet and lovely girl I love you,
Because you’re sweet and lovely girl it’s true,
I love you more than ever girl I do.
I want you in the morning girl I love you,
I want you at the moment I feel blue,
I’m living for ev’ry moment girl for you.
I’ve loved you from the moment I saw you,
You looked at me that’s all you had to,
I feel it now I hope you feel it too.
Because you’re sweet and lovely girl I love you,
Because you’re sweet and lovely girl it’s true,
I love you more than ever girl I do.
I really love you

Get Back:

Jojo was a man who thought he was a loner
But he knew it couldn’t last.
Jojo left his home in Tucson, Arizona
For some California Grass.
Get back, get back.
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back.
Get back to where you once belonged.
Get back Jojo. Go home
Get back, get back.
Back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back.
Back to where you once belonged.
Get back Jo.
Sweet Loretta Martin thought she was a woman
But she was another man
All the girls around her say she’s got it coming
But she gets it while she can.
Get back, get back.
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back.
Get back to where you once belonged.
Get back Loretta. Go home
Get back, get back.
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back.
Get back to where you once belonged.
Get home Loretta
Your mother’s waiting for you
Wearing her high-heel shoes
And her low-neck sweater 
Get on home Loretta
Get back, get back.
Get back to where you once belonged
