CLOUD 9
(words and music:George Harrison)

Have my love.
It fits you like a glove.
Join my dream, tell me yes.
Bail out should there be a mess.
The pieces you don't need are mine.

Take my time.
I'll show you cloud nine.
Take my smile and my heart.
They were yours from the start.
The pieces to omit are mine.

Have my love.
Use it while it does you good.
Share my highs but the times that he hurts pay no mind.
This pieces you don't need are mine.
I'll see you there on cloud nine.

Take my hope.
Maybe even share a joke.
If there's good to be shown.
You may make it all your own.
But if you want to quit that's fine.
While you're out looking for cloud nine.
Ooh, cloud nine.


THAT'S WHAT IT TAKES
(words and music:George Harrison, Jeff Lynnr, Gary Wright)

And now it begins to shine.
And you found the eyes to see.
Each little drop withdrawn out every day.
Your smiling comes back to me.
And what ever you may say.
Don't let it stop.
Never fade away.

As we gotta get out in this world together.
Then what matters is stop to make some changes.

If that's what it takes. 
Then I gotta be strong.
Don't wanna be blown .
If that's what it takes.
The closer I get into that opened door.
I gotta be sure if that's what it takes.

And now that it's shining through.
And you can see all this world.
Don't let it stop.
Never fade away.

If we gotta be in this life forever.
Then we gotta be taking all the chances.

If that's what it takes. 
Then I gotta be strong.
Don't wanna be blown.
If that's what it takes.
The closer I get into that opened door.
I gotta be sure if that's what it takes.

If that's what it takes, etc.


FISH ON THE SAND
(words and music:George Harrison)

I know you're in the sun.
I know you're close to everyone.
A time it's like you don't have a hold on me.
I see you in love.
I see you in the moon above.
But I want to know that you're not lost inside of me.
You know I need you.
You know I love you.
If I'm not with you I'm not so much of a man.
I'm like a fish on the sand.

You call me in the night.
And hide behind the day light.
And blowing like the wind you don't let me see.
You know I feel the pain.
I'm tired of playing games with you.
Though there's  nothing else once that will set me free.
You know I love you.
You know I need you.
If I can't be  with you I'm not so much of a man.
I'm  a fish on the sand.

No use to know what else set out right up.
Watching all our lives go by.
I can't believe you wanted to see me crying.
I hold you in my heart.

I know that you're a part of me.
But it's a must to know that you love me too.
I look you in the eye.
Your swimming by my tear drops.
But I want to know for sure that you let me see.
You know I want you.
You know I need you.
If I'm not with you I'm not so much of a man.
I'm like a fish on the sand.

You know I need you.
You know I love you.
If I'm not with you I'm not so much of a man.
I'm a fish on the sand.
Not so much of a man.
More  a fish on the sand.


JUST FOR TODAY
(words and music:George Harrison)

Just for today I could try to live through this day only
Not deal with all life's problems
Just for today.
If just for one night I could feel not sad and lonely.
Not be my own life's problem just for one night
If just today I could try to live through this day only.
Not deal with all life's problems, just for today.

If just for one night I could feel not sad and lonely.
Not be my own life's problem, just for one night
Just for today, I could try to live through this day only.
Not deal with all life's problems, just for today.
Just for today.


THIS IS LOVE
(words and music:George Harrison, Jeff Lynne)

Precious words drift away from the minute.
And the sun melts the chill from our lives.
Helping us all to remember what we came here for.
This is love.
This is lo, lo, lo, love
This is love, this is lo, lo, lo, love.

Little things that will change you forever.
May appear from way out of the blue.
Making fools of everybody. 
Who don't understand.
This is love.
This is lo, lo, lo, love
This is love, this is lo, lo, lo, love.

Since our problems have been our own creation.
They also can be overcome.
When we use the power provided free to everyone.
This is love.
This is lo, lo, lo, love
This is love, this is lo, lo, lo, love.

This is love.
This is lo, lo, lo, love
This is love, this is lo, lo, lo, love.


WHEN WE WAS FAB
(words and music:George Harrison, Jeff Lynne)

Back then long time ago when grass was green.
Woke up in a daze.
Arrived like strangers in the night.
Fab - long time ago when we was fab.
Fab - back when income tax was all we had.

Caressers fleeced you in the morning light.
Casualties at dawn.
And we did it all!
Fab - long time ago when we was fab.
Fab - in  my world you are my only love.

And while you're in this world.
The fuzz gonna come and claim you.
But you no better wise.
When the buzz gonna come and take you away.
Take you away, take you away.

The microscopes that magnified the tears.
Studied warts and all.
Still the life flowed on and on.
Fab - long time ago when we was fab.
Fab - but it's all over now baby blue.
Fab - long time ago when we was fab.
Fab - like this pullover you sent to me.
Fab - and you've really got a hold on me.
Fab - long time ago when we was fab.


DEVIL'S RADIO
(words and music:George Harrison)

Gossip, gossip, gossip, gossip.
I heard it in the night.
Words that thoughtless speak.
Like vultures whopping down below on the devil's radio.
I hear it through the day. 
Airwaves getting filled.
With gossip broadcast to and fro on the devil's radio.

Oh yeah, gossip, gossip, oh yeah.

He's in the clubs and bars.
And never turns it down.
Talking about what he don't know on the devil's radio.

He's in your T.V. set. 
Won't give you a rest.
That soul betrayed so and so the devil's radio.

Gossip, gossip, gossip, gossip.
Oh yeah, gossip, gossip, oh yeah.

It's white and black like industrial waves
Pollution on the highs to greet.
You wonder why I don't hang out much.
I wonder how you can't see.

He's in the films and songs.
And at all your magazines. 
It's everywhere that you may go the devil's radio.

Oh yeah, gossip, gossip, oh yeah.

Runs to confess no one really sees.
Quite what Betty can do.
As he shapes you into something cold like an eskimo igloo.

It's all across our lives.
Like we didn't sweat.
Till nothing else has space to grow the devil's radio.

Can creep up in the dark.
Make us hide behind shades.
And puzzling like a dynamo the devil's radio.

Gossip, gossip, gossip, gossip


SOMEPLACE ELSE
(words and music:George Harrison)

You got into my life.
I don't know how you found me 
But you did.
It stopped me heading someplace else.
Took me a while to say.
Wish you belong to me.
But now I'm  setting like I never been. 
Regretting that we'll leave.
And for a while you could comfort me and hold me for some time.
I need you now to be beside me while all my world is so untidy.
Loneliness, empty faces.
Wish I could leave them all in some place else.

I hope you won't let go.
Maybe you let me know.
That you'll be setting like you never been.
Regretting that we'll leave.
And for a while I could comfort you and hold you in my mind.
I need you now to be beside me while all my world is sad and crazy.
Loneliness, empty faces, 
Wish I could leave them all in some place else.

And for a while you could comfort me and hold me for some time.
I need you now to be beside me while all my world is so untidy.
Loneliness, empty faces
Wish I could leave them all in some place else.
Loneliness, empty faces,
Wish I could leave them all in some place else.
I think I'm gonna leave them all in some place else.


WRECK OF THE HESPERUS
(words and music:George Harrison)

I'm not the wreck of the hesperus
Feel more like the wall of China.
Getting old as Matusalem.
Feel tall as the Eiffel Tower.

I'm not a power or attorney.
But I can rock as good as Gibraltar.
Ain't no mono 
Big flood but I'm still kicking.
But it's alright.

Poison men sick, I'm not  to speak.
May realize behind the suit and new.
They're out messing them.
Reaching out touch me.

Missed some Oscars and Tonys
I slipped on a pavement oyster.
Let a snake climb
Got out of the line of fire. 
But it's alright.

Brainless writers gossip nonsense says.
She was a head dancer 
It's the same old malady.
What they see is faulty.

I'm not the wreck of the hesperus
Feel more like big bill broonzy
Getting older is more absurd.
But I tell you I got some company.
But it's alright


BREATH AWAY FROM HEAVEN
(words and music:George Harrison)

In another life I woke up dreaming with a sigh.
As the morning light is painting whispers of a joy.
And I was in the candlelit bedroom.
Enchanting beauty she lowing magically.
Like an irrigating cloud being blown by westerly wind.
She can move your soul without you knowing.
She can take your breath away from heaven

And I was captured by her loneliness.
A wounded tiger on a willowy path.
Like an opulence mingle alone in the sky of the far land
She can take your breath away from heaven.
She can move your soul without you knowing.
She can take your breath away from heaven.
She is like an ever lasting blossom.
She can take your breath away from heaven.


GOT MY MIND SET ON YOU
(words and music:Rudy Clark)

I got my mind set on you
I got my mind set on you
I got my mind set on you
I got my mind set on you

But it's gonna take money.
A whole lotta spending money.
It's gonna take plenty of money.
To do it right, child.
It's gonna take time.
A whole lot of precious time.
It's gonna take patience and time.
To do it, to do it, to do it, to do it,
To do it, to do it right child.
I got my mind set on you
I got my mind set on you
I got my mind set on you
I got my mind set on you

And this time I know it's real.
The feelings that I feel.
I know if you put my mind to it.
I know that I really can do it.
I got my mind set on you
I got my mind set on you

But it's gonna take money.
A whole lotta spending money.
It's gonna take plenty of money.
To do it right, child.
It's gonna take time.
A whole lot of precious time.
It's gonna take patience and time.
To do it, to do it, to do it, to do it,
To do it, to do it right child.

I got my mind set on you
I got my mind set on you
I got my mind set on you
I got my mind set on you

And this time I know it's real.
The feelings that I feel.
I know if I put my mind to it.
I know that I really can do it.
But it's gonna take money.
A whole lotta spending money.
It's gonna take plenty of money.
To do it right, child.
It's gonna take time.
A whole lot of precious time.
It's gonna take patience and time.
To do it, to do it, to do it, to do it,
To do it, to do it right child.

Set on you, set on you.
