I'm not the kind of guy who likes to play big brother
But I've just seen your date outside, he's with another
I saw you both come in
Clearly you're not meant for him, so
Please, please hold my hand
Hold my hand, yeah, yeah
Hold my hand, yeah, yeah
Hold my hand and I'll see you home
I want to tell you I'm in love with you completely
I'd like to take you far away from here, discretely
Our love was meant to be
and darling, it's a certainty, oh
Please, please hold my hand
Hold my hand, yeah, yeah
Hold my hand, yeah, yeah
Hold my hand and I'll see you home

Number one, number one
You're my number one
You're my second to none

Shoot me down in flames if I should tell a lie
Cross my heart I promise that it's true

With a girl like you
to fill my heart with pride and joy
With a girl like you
I know where I belong
With a girl like you
I know I can be strong, you know
I won't bring you any pain
I won't run around again
Ther'll be nothing to explain
with a girl like you

1.6 - Living In
Hope
from the Parlourphone LP "Rutles For Sale" PCS-3062, 12/4/64
Lead Vocal: Barry Wom
I grew up in the country
beside a chicken shack
so I left for the city
and I didn't look back
Now I'm living in hope
Living in hope
Yes, I'm living in hope
Living in hope
Walkin 'round the city
feeling all alone
nobody told me
the streets are paved with stone
But I'm living in hope
Yes, I'm living in hope
I'm living in hope
I'm living in hope
Can't find my feet or a friendly face
In this god forsaken town
Nobody stops to lend a hand
unless they want to put you down
Got no woman
or a steady job
Feeling like a cowboy
and looking like a slob
But I'm living in hope
Living in hope
Yes, I'm living in hope
I'm living in hope
Nothing in my pocket
Nowhere to go
Looking for a handout
But no one wants to know
But I'm living in hope
Living in hope
Yes, I'm living in hope
Living in hope
I'm living in hope
Living in hope
Yes, I'm living in hope
Living in hope

Love Life

Make up your mind
In your own time
To live is to live
To love is sublime
Where there's a will there's a way
Love is the meaning of life
Life is the meaning of love

People give thanks
People rejoice
Given a chance
Given a choice
Where there's a will there's a way
Love is the meaning of life
Life is the meaning of love

6/1/67
Lead Vocal: Stig O'Hara
In this day and age
Love is all the rage
Life goes on, it only goes to show
It's not my cup of tea
It's all the same to me
For we are here today and gone tomorrow
Nevertheless
Make the most of it
Make the most of it
Nevertheless
Nevertheless
Nevertheless
Nevertheless

2.1 - Good Times
Roll
from the Parlourphone LP "Sgt. Rutter's Only Darts Club Band" PCS-7027,
6/1/67
Lead Vocal: Ron Nasty
Hour after hour in an ivory tower
A thousand and nothings to do
Spending the day in a colourful way
Blue upon blue upon blue
Psychadelicatessen
Fricassee chorus girls thigh
Toffee and mackerel gateau
Pineapple pie in the sky
See how the good times roll
See how the good times roll
See how the good times roll away
See how the good times roll
See how the good times roll
See how the good times roll away
Like ice in a drink
invisible ink
or dreams in the cold light of day
The children of rock 'n roll never grow old
They just fade away
Drifting along on a cotton wool cloud
dreaming of drum majorettes
Swastika nightingales croon tongue in cheek
an elephant never forgets
See how the good times roll
See how the good times roll
See how the good times roll away
See how the good times roll
See how the good times roll
See how the good times roll away

2.2 - Doubleback Alley
Parlourphone single R-5570, 2/17/67
Lead Vocal: Dirk McQuickly
People were proud in Doubleback Alley
Neighbours were loud, but ever so pally
People would shout
Joking about
The smoke and the soot
Mother would put the milk bottles out
We had a good time in Doubleback Alley
With fences to climb and Father O'Malley
to clip your ear and steer you clear
of the funny man
on the ice cream van that talked so queer
Doubleback Alley takes me back and in my mind I see
happy smiling faces if I flog my memory
Plenty to do in Doubleback Alley
Play peek-a-boo with Saccharine Sally
Bouncing a ball against the wall
showing her drawers
you come indoors
her dad would call
Doubleback Alley takes me back and in my mind I see
happy smiling faces if I flog my memory
Stinking of gin in Doubleback Alley
Grinning a grin in Doubleback Alley
Kick a dustbin
Bingo to win
Windows to break
mother would take the milk bottles in
Doubleback Alley takes me back and in my mind I see
happy smiling faces if I flog my memory
Doubleback Alley takes me back and in my mind I see
happy smiling faces if I flog my memory
Doubleback Alley
2.3 - Cheese And
Onions
from the Rutle Soundtrack LP "Yellow Submarine Sandwich" PCS-7070, 1/17/69
Lead Vocal: Ron Nasty
I have always thought
in the back of my mind
Cheese and onions
I have always thought
that the world was unkind
Cheese and onions
Do I have to spell it out?
C-H-E-E-S-E-A-N-D-O-N-I-O-N-S-oh-no
Man and machine
Keep yourself clean
or be a has-been
like a dinosaur
Got a device
For everthing nice
You better think twice
at least once more
Man and machine
Keep yourself clean
or be a has-been
like a dinosaur
Got a device
For everthing nice
You better think twice
at least once more
Man and machine
Keep yourself clean
or be a has-been
like a dinosaur
Got a device

2.4 - Another Day
from the Rutle LP "The Rutles" PCS-7067/8, 11/22/68
Lead Vocal: Stig O'Hara
At times like these when enemies can number more than friends
A friend indeed is what I need, not someone who pretends
I'm on my way
I cannot stay another day
You're such a pain, must I explain my every meaning to you
It's such a drag the way you nag at me and make me feel blue
I'm on my way
I cannot stay another day
You're so pusillanimous, oh yeah
Nature's calling and I must go there
A glass of wine with Gertude Stein I know I'll never share
But I don't mind, that's just the kind of cross each man must bear
I'm on my way
I cannot stay another day
You're so pusillanimous, oh yeah
Nature's calling and I must go there
Another day, I know they say that all the world's a stage
I'll play the fool, but as a rule I'd rather act my age
I'm on my way
I cannot stay another day
I'm on my way
I cannot stay another day
I'm on my way
I cannot stay another day
2.5 - Piggy In The
Middle
Parlourphone single R-5655, 11/24/67
Lead Vocal: Ron Nasty
I know you know what you know
but you should know by now that you're not me
Talk about a month of Sundays
Toffee nosed wet weekend as far as I can see
Hey diddle diddle
The cat and the fiddle
Piggy in the middle
Doo-a-poo-poo
Bible punching heavyweight
evangelistic boxing kangaroo
Orangutang and anaconda
Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse even Pluto too
Hey diddle diddle
The cat and the fiddle
Piggy in the middle
Doo-a-poo-poo
(Stig is dead, honestly)
One man's civilization
is another man's jungle, yeah
They say revolution's in the air
I'm dancing in my underwear 'cause I don't care
Hey diddle diddle
The Cat's in the fiddle
Piggy in the middle
Doo-a-poo-poo
Doo-a-poo-poo
Walky talky man says hello, hello, hello
with his ballerina boots
you can tell he's always on his toes
Hanging on a Christmas tree
Screaming like a bogey man
getting up my nose
Hey diddle diddle
The cat and the fiddle
Piggy in the middle
Doo-a-poo-poo
a-poo-poo-poo
This little piggy went to market
This little piggy stayed home
This little piggy had roast beef
and this little piggy had none
This little piggy went
Woooo!
All the way home
(repeats, fades)
