1.1 -  You

 

(one, two,

one, two, three, four)

 

I, I love, love

And I, and I love you

Oh you, you, yeah you

 

And you, you, love, love

And you, yes you, you love me

Yeah you, you, yeah you

 

And when I'm holding you

What a feeling

Seems so good to be true

That I'm telling you all

That I must be dreaming

 

And I, and I, I love you

Oh you, oh you, yeah you

 

And when I'm holding you

What a feeling

Seems so good to be true

That I'm telling you all

That I must be dreaming

 

Now I, oh I, I love, love

And I, yeah I, I love you, I love you

Oh you, you, oh you

 

Oh, you know that I love you, oh oh oh

Oh, you know that I love you, I love you, I, I said I love you


1.2 - The Answer's At The End

 

Scan not a friend with a microscopic glass

You know his faults, now let the foibles pass

Life is one long enigma, my friend

So read on, read on, the answer's at the end

 

Don't be so hard on the ones that you love

It's the ones that you love we think so little of

Don't be so hard on the ones that you need

It's the ones that you need we think so little of

 

The speech of flowers excels the flowers of speech

But what's often in your heart, is the hardest thing to reach

And life is one long mystery, my friend

So live on, live on, the answer's at the end

 

Don't be so hard on the ones that you love

It's the ones that you love we think so little of

Don't be so hard on the ones that you need

It's the ones that you need we think so little of

 

Don't be so hard on the ones that you love

It's the ones that you love we think so little of

Don't be so hard on the ones that you need

It's the ones that you need we think so little of

 

Oh, we think so little of the ones that we love, sometimes

Isn't it a pity how we hurt

The ones that we love the most of all

The ones we shouldn't hurt at all

 

You know my faults, now let the foibles pass

'Cause life is one long enigma, my friend

Live on, live on, the answer's at the end


1.3 - This Guitar (Can't Keep From Crying)

 

(one, two, three, four)

 

Found myself out on a limb

But I'm happier than I've ever been

But this guitar can't keep from crying

 

Learned to get up when I fall

Can even climb Rolling Stone walls

But this guitar can't keep from crying

 

This here guitar can feel quite sad

Can be high strung, sometimes get mad

Can't understand or deal with hate

Responds much better to love

 

I though by now you knew the score

But you missed the point just like before

And this guitar can't keep from crying

 

(This) guitar, it can't keep from crying

This guitar can't keep from crying

 

This here guitar can feel quite sad

Can be high strung, sometimes get mad

It can't understand or deal with hate

Responds much better to love

 

While you attack, create offence

I'll put it down to your ignorance

But this guitar it can't keep from crying

This guitar can't keep from crying


1.4 - Ooh Baby (You Know That I Love You)

 

My baby, ooh

You know I love you

My baby, ooh

You know I love you

 

I won't say it's forever

Right now while we're together

 

You're my baby, ooh

You know I love you

My baby, ooh

You know I love you

 

I will be where you want me

I will try to keep you happy

If only you say you're my baby, ooh

You know I love you

You're my baby

I do anything for you

I'd run around the world for you

I do what you want me to

 

Ooh, you know that I love you

My, my baby, ooh


1.5 - World Of Stone

 

Wise man, you won't be

To follow the like of me

In this world made of stone

Such a long way to go

 

We may disagree

We all have the right to be

In this world made of stone

Such a long way to go

Such a long, long way from home

 

And we may disagree

We all have the right to be

In this world made out of stone

It's such a long, long way to go

 

The wiser you may be

The harder it can be to see

In this world made of stone

Such a long, long way to go

Such a long way from home

 

In this world made of stone

Such a long, long way to go

And such a long way from OM



2.1 - A Bit More Of You

 

[Instrumental]

 

2.2 - Can't Stop Thinking About You

 

Can't stop thinking about you

Can't stop thinking about you

It's no good living without you

I can't stop thinking about you

 

Can't stop thinking about you

Can't stop thinking about you

And it's no good living without you

I can't stop thinking about you

 

When the night-time comes around

Daylight has left me, I

I can't take it if I don't see you no more

I can't help it, I need your loving so much more

 

And I can't stop thinking about you

Can't stop thinking about you

And it's no good living without you

I can't stop thinking about

I can't stop thinking about

I can't stop thinking about you, ooh

 

Can't stop thinking about

Can't stop thinking about

Can't stop thinking about you

 

When the morning comes around

And the daylight gets to me, I

I can't take it if I don't see you no more

I can't help it, I need your loving so much more

 

And I can't stop thinking about you, oh yeah

I can't stop thinking about you

And it's no good living without you

I can't stop thinking about

I can't stop thinking about

I can't stop thinking about you

 

I can't stop thinking about

Can't stop thinking about

Can't stop thinking about you

 

(repeat and fade:)

I can't stop thinking about

I can't stop thinking about

I can't stop thinking about you


2.3 - Tired Of Midnight Blue

 

The sun came into view

As I sat with the tears in my eyes

The sun came up on you

And as you smiled, the teardrop, it dried

 

I don't know where I had been

But I know what I have seen

Made me chill right to the bone

Made me wish that I'd stayed home along with you

 

Tired of midnight blues

 

The sun came up so high

And as it shone, I realized your love

The sun shone in your eyes

And as you smiled, you realized it too

 

Don't know where I had been

But I know what I have seen

Made me chill right to the bone

Made me wish that I'd stayed home with you

 

Tired of midnight blues

 

Don't know where I had been

But I know what I have seen

Made me chill right to the bone

Made me wish that I'd stayed home with you

 

Tired of midnight blues

 

The sun went down the sky

Way up the clouds told me that they knew

The moon came up so high

And as you smiled, I knew that you knew too

 

Don't know where I had been

But I know what I have seen

Made me chill right to the bone

Made me wish that I'd stayed home with you

 

Tired of midnight blues

 

I don't know where I had been

But I know what I have seen

Made me chill right to the bone


2.4 - Grey Cloudy Lies

And I thought to close my mouth

With a padlock on the night

Leave the battlefield behind

Stay out the fight

Not lose my sight

 

Now I only want to be

With no pistol at my brain

But at times it gets so lonely

Could go insane

Could lose my aim

 

Now I only want to live

With no teardrops in my eyes

But at times it feels like no chance

No clear blue skies

Grey cloudy lies

 

No clear blue skies

Grey cloudy lies

2.5 - His Name Is Legs (Ladies & Gentlemen)

Oooh, oooh

Everything is Dinky Doo

Everything you do

You, the king of La-Di-Da

Pretty very out far

Never oversits, he understands

Like the back of the hand

He should sing in a band, oh yeah

 

Oooh, oooh

People think he's Loopey Loo

And when they look at his shoes

He's a rocking sausage roll

He gets it in the goal

Healthy little 'brown affair'

And when he washes his hair

He'll get a round or a square

Get them singing

 

Oooh, oooh

Everyone from Oxford town

Way down to the Rio Grande

 

Knows his harbour quays

His skin tight hands, without seggs

His name is Legs

 

[talking]

 

Oooh, oooh

Coolies sweating in Hong Kong

Run along to the Mardi Grass

 

Risking asian flu to meet the man

Who lays the eggs

His name is Legs

 

He's a cure for whooping cough

And if the going gets rough

Get lined up, come Sikh, come Czar

No matter who you are

We could get along and slide a rule

And if you don't play fools

While Larry plays pool

You'll hear him singing

 

Oooh, oooh

[talking]

Oooh, oooh
