Back To George Harrison CD Discography
I WANT TO TELL YOU (words and music:George Harrison) I want to tell you, my head is filled with things to say, when you're here, all those words they seem to slip away. When I get near you, the games begin to drag me down, it's alright, I'll make you maybe next time around But if I seem to act unkind, it's only me, it's not my mind, that is confusing things. I want to tell you, I feel hung up and I don't know why, I don't mind, I could wait for ever, I've got time. Sometimes I wish I knew you well Then I could speak my mind and tell you maybe you'd understand. I want to tell you, I feel hung up and I don't know why, I don't mind, I could wait for ever, I've got time. OLD BROWN SHOE (words and music:George Harrison) I want a love that's right, but right is only half of what's wrong. I want a short haired girl who sometimes wears it twice as long. Now I'm stepping out this old brown shoe, Baby I'm in love with you I'm so glad you came here it won't be the same now I'm telling you. I know you pick me up from where some try to drag me down Well to see your smile replacing every thoughtless frown Got me scaping from this zoo, baby I'm in love with you So glad you came here it won't be the same now when I'm with you. If I grow up I'll be a singer wearing rings on every finger. Not worrying of what they or you say I'll live and love and maybe someday, who knows baby You may comfort me Though I may appear to be imperfect My love is something you can't reject I'm changing faster than the weather Then you and me should get together Who knows baby you may comfort me. My love is yours to miss that love is something I hate. I'll make an early start making sure that I'm not late For your sweet top lip I'm in the queue Baby I'm in love with you I'm so glad you came here it won't be the same now When I'm with you TAXMAN (words and music:George Harrison, he changed some of the words) Let me tell you how it will be, There's one for you, nineteen for me, 'Cos I'm the Taxman, Yeah, I'm the Taxman. Should five per cent appear too small, Be thankful I don't take it all, 'Cos I'm the Taxman, Yeah, I'm the Taxman. If you drive a car, I'll tax the street, If you try to sit, I'll tax your seat, If you get too cold, I'll tax the heat, If you take a walk, I'll tax your feet. Taxman. Well I'm the Taxman, Yeah, I'm the Taxman. Don't ask me what I want it for (uhuh Mister Major) If you don't want to pay some more (uhuh Mister Kinnock), 'Cos I'm the Taxman, Yeah, I'm the Taxman. (George mistook this part for last at Yokohama) If I reduce it, can you sleep (uhuh Boris Yeltsin) If I avoid the V.A.T.* (uhuh Mister Bush) Well I'm the Taxman, Yeah, I'm the Taxman. If you get a head, I'll tax your hat If you get a pet, I'll tax your cat If you wipe your feet, I'll tax the mat If you are overweight, I'll tax your fat Now my advice for those who die, Declare the pennies on your eyes, 'Cos I'm the Taxman, Yeah, I'm the Taxman. And you're working for no-one but me, Taxman. * value-added tax GIVE ME LOVE - George Harrison (words and music:George Harrison) Give me love, give me love, give me peace on earth give me light, give me life, keep me free from birth.

IF I NEEDED SOMEONE (words and music:George Harrison) If I needed someone You're the one that I'd be thinking of If I needed someone If I had some more time to spend Then I guess I'd be with you my friend If I needed someone Had you come some other day then It might not have been like this But you see now I'm too much in love Got your number on my wall And maybe you will get a call from me If I needed someone SOMETHING (words and music:George Harrison) Something in the way she moves Attracts me like no other lover Something in the way she woos me I don't want to leave her now You know I believe and how Somewhere in her smile she knows That I don't need no other lover Something in her style that shows me I don't want to leave her now You know I believe and how You're asking me will my love grow I don't know, I don't know You stick around now it may show I don't know, I don't know Something in the way she looks And all I have to do is think of her Something in the things she shows me I don't want to leave her now You know I believe and how. WHAT IS LIFE (words and music:George Harrison) What I feel I can't say But my love is there for you any time of day But if it's not love that you need Then I'll try my best to make everything succeed And tell me what is life without your love?

And tell me what is life without your love? And tell me who am I without you by my side? DARK HORSE (words and music:George Harrison) You thought that you knew where I was and when But it looks like you've been fooling down again You thought that you'd got me all staked out But baby looks like I've been breaking out I'm a dark horse Running on a dark race course I'm a blue moon Since I stepped from out of the womb I've been a cool jerk Looking for the source I'm a dark horse You thought you had got me in your grip Baby looks like you was not so smart And I became to slippery for you But let me say that was nothing new I'm a dark horse Running on a dark race course I'm a blue moon Since I picked up my first spoon I've been a cool jerk Looking for the source I'm a dark horse I thought that you knew it all along Until you started getting me not right Seems as if you heard a little late But I warned you when We both were at the starting gate I'm a dark horse Running on a dark race course I'm a blue moon Since I stepped from out of the womb I've been a cool jerk Cooking at the source I'm a dark horse PIGGIES (words and music:George Harrison) Have you seen the little piggies Crawling in the dirt And for all the little piggies Life is getting worse Always having dirt to play around in. Have you seen the bigger piggies In their starched white shirts You will find the bigger piggies You will find the bigger piggies Stirring up the dirt Always have clean shirts to play around in. In their styes with all their backing They don't care what goes on around In their eyes there's something lacking What they need's a damn good whacking. Everywhere there's lots of piggies Living piggy lives You can see them out for dinner With their piggy wives Clutching forks and knives to eat their bacon.

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun and I say it's alright. Sun, sun, sun, here it comes Little darling, I feel like ice slowly melting Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear.

My sweet Lord, my Lord, my sweet Lord. ALL THOSE YEARS AGO (words and music:George Harrison) I'm shouting all about love While they treated you like a dog When you were the one who had made it so clear All those year sago I'm talking all about how to give They don't act with much honesty But you point the way to the truth when you say All you need is love Living with good and bad I always looked up to you Now we're left cold and sad By someone the devil's best friend Someone who offended all We're living in a bad dream They've forgotten all about mankind And you were the one they backed up to the wall All those years ago You were the one who imagined it all All those years ago Deep in the darkest night I send out a prayer to you Now in the world of light Where the spirit free of the lies And all else that we despised They've forgotten all, about God He's the only reason we exist Yet you were the one that they said was so weird All those years ago you said it all though not many had ears All those years ago You had control of our smiles and our tears All those years ago CHEER DOWN (words and music:George Harrison, Tom Petty) I can see by your grin That you're trembling within It's all over town, cheer down And the smile on your face Is sometimes out of place Don't mind, no frowns, cheer down If your hair should fall If your shares should crash You'll get by even without getting a rash There's no tears to be shed I'm gonna love you instead I want you around, cheer down When your teeth drop out You'll get by even without taking a bite If your dog should be dead I'm gonna love you instead The world loves a clown, cheer down I want you around cheer down 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 ISN'T IT A PITY (words and music:George Harrison) Isn't it a pity, isn't it a shame How we break each other's hearts and cause each other pain How we take each other's love Without thinking anymore Forgetting to give back Isn't it a pity Somethings take so long But how do I explain? When not too many people Can see we're all the same And because of all their tears Their eyes can't hope to see The beauty that surrounds them Isn't it a pity WHILE MY GUITAR GENTLY WEEPS (words and music:George Harrison) I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping While my guitar gently weeps I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping Still my guitar gently weeps I don't know why nobody told you how to unfold your love I don't know how someone controlled you They bought and sold you. I look at the world and I notice it's turning While my guitar gently weeps With every mistake we must surely be learning Still my guitar gently weeps I don't know how you were diverted You were perverted too I don't know how you were inverted No one alerted you. I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping While my guitar gently weeps Look at you all... Still my guitar gently weeps. ROLL OVER BEETHOVEN I'm gonna write a little letter Gonna mail it to my local D.J. It's a rockin' little record I want my jockey to play Roll over Beethoven I gotta hear it again today You know my temperature's rising And the juke box's blowing a fuse My heart's beatin' rhythm And my soul keeps singin' the blues Roll over Beethoven And tell Tchaikovski the news Well I got a rockin' pneumonia I need a shot of rhythm and blues I think I got it off the writer sittin' down by the rhythm review Roll over Beethoven We're rockin' in two by two Well if you feel you like it Well get your lover and reel and rock it Roll it over and move on up just Jump around and reel and rock it Roll it over Roll over Beethoven A rockin' in two by two Early in the morning I'm giving you the warning Don't you step on my blue suede shoes Hey little little gonna play my fiddle Ain't got nothing to lose Roll over Beethoven And tell Tchaikovski the news You know she wigs like a glow worm Dance like a spinnin' top She got a crazy partner Oughta see 'em reel and rock Long as she's got a dime The music will never stop Roll over Beethoven Roll over Beethoven Roll over Beethoven Roll over Beethoven And dig this rhythm and blues
