I Was…

When I was a boy in the city so dreary,
my father and my uncle made music for many.
I cheered for their band and sang out so loud and they were happy…

When I Was a Boy

Now, now that I have grown and left that town my home and now, now that I have songs of my own to spread around..
Couples in chairs, the sunny faces of my friends as we meet up today acting like fools, funny faces, makes us happy…
Acting like fools, funny faces with the best to come, our band will soon play.
Having no cares, traveling places makes us happy…
And now, now that I have grown and our new band makes songs and now, now that we’re well known and I hope my father is proud.
Couples in chairs, the sunny faces of my friends as we meet up today. Acting like fools, funny faces, makes us happy…
Acting like fools, funny faces with the best to come, our band will soon play. Having no cares, traveling places makes us happy…
It was there that something take us to places we’ve never been. It was there that something we take us through the doors again…
I could never guess what would happen next.
I could never guess what would happen next.
Couples in chairs, sunny faces and were acting like fools. Acting like fools, funny face makes us happy…
Life with no rules and you know it’s the best of times, our band will soon play.
Life with no cares, traveling places, makes us happy.
But I, but I could never guess what would come…..

…mania

Lost in the mania
Totally fab and amazing, yeah
It’s getting crazy as we try to push the music through
It’s mass hysteria – #1 in Australia
I’m going crazy trying to push the music through Trying to get a message to you
It’s no miracle but it’s almost satirical
I’m going crazy trying to push the music through Trying to get a message to you
Screams and shouts, we run about There’s no escape, roll the tape
Lost in the mania
Totally fab and amazing, yeah
It’s getting crazy
As we try to push the music through
Try to get our message to you All the way from Liverpool

Beautiful Disaster

You appear, smoke and haze Your splendor stains my skin As I fall into a dream
You come to me with eyes in need Spinning webs of no return
All we’ve done and none we’ve learned
You’re always just a call away
and I’m longing for your touch
This beautiful disaster that I need so much
It takes me to the place I love
and the stories that I sell
This beautiful disaster that I know so well So well…
It seems to end just to start again a tug of war of soul and skin
Will this fire always burn
burn, burn, burn?
You’re always just a call away
and I’m longing for your touch
This beautiful disaster that I need so much
It takes me to the place I love
and the stories that I sell
This beautiful disaster that I know so well So well
So well
So well, well, well

There’s Something Going On Here, John

Sing me a song that was a hit before your mother was born
We was tough and you were the leader when you shouted we want more!
The bond between you and me it will be known forever
You show us how to be free stronger than me, Johnny
The things you read in papers
where truth is merely capers with misleading headlines A band that’s big as Jesus
would only wanna lead us to the light like a Lord
Laughing at death only gave us courage
because we both lost our moms
We vowed that day to scream like Little Richard, Elvis and Buddy Holly they wanted more!
The bond between you and me
will be known forever
You showed me how to be free
stronger than me you’ll be known forever
I know without me your three
I hope to stay around here for sometime
But there’s something pressuring me
I don’t know how things will play out this time
The things you read in papers
where truth is merely capers with misleading headlines A band that’s big as Jesus
would only wanna lead us to the light like a Lord
And there’s something going on here John there’s something going on here John there’s something going on here John

Down in the Studio

Come here now to the studio
we need to talk to you urgently…
Paul, we need to speak to you
Paul, there’s a message with changes
Down at the studio – where “Fab 4” songs are made The sound is really groovy here
Mr. Martin gets us paid and paid well
Paul, we have a new concept for you Paul, there is danger if you don’t listen
Down at the studio where the sterling pressures bands Down at the studio where everything is taken from me
I knew a much simpler time
I knew a much simpler time
Where we would go people all shined!
Down at the studio where ”Fab 4” songs are made
Down at the studio – where artists are betrayed
Down at the studio – you become a slave
Down at the studio – crafting tunes for programed minds!
I knew a much simpler time I knew a much simpler time
What did I find?
Is this a life really worth living for? What did I find?
Is the dream really worth
the love in our hearts
and the songs in our minds

Faul (Wings)

I will wait for your love
I won’t be late into the night
This is my break and I’m taking flight
And then tonight I will wait for the change And then tonight I will wait for the chance And I will wait for your love
Cause you know my secrets
You, you know my secrets
We’ll be together, they’ll think its us there too I will be waiting, yes I will be waiting for you
My voice and face were quietly replaced I crashed my car, bloody scenes in songs
Tonight, I wait for the change Tonight, I wait for my chance Tonight, I wait for my wings
Ringo, George and John have all grown their hair long Billy Shears this is your time!
You, you know my secrets
You, you know my secrets
We’ll be together, they’ll think its us there too I will be waiting, yes I will be waiting for you
Tonight, I’m taking flight! Tonight, I’m taking flight! Tonight, I’m taking flight! I have earned my,
I have earned my wings.
