CLOUD NINE
By 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,
Those 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
And if you want to quit that's fine.
While you're out looking for cloud nine.

Mm-mm-mm.

Oo, cloud nine.


THAT'S WHAT IT TAKES
By George Harrison, Jeff Lynne and Gary Wright

And now it begins to shine,
And you've found the eyes to see
Each little drop,
The dawn of ev'ry day.

Your smile it comes back to me,
And whatever you may say,
Don't let it stop,
Never fade away.

As we gotta get on in this world together, oo,
Then we might as well start to make some changes, oo, oo.

If that's what it takes (that's what it takes),
Then I gotta be strong (that's what it takes),
Don't wanna be wrong,
If that's what it takes.
The closer I get (that's what it takes)
Into that open door (what it takes),
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, oo.
Then we better be taking all the chances, oo, oo.

That's what it takes,
That's what it takes,
That's what it takes,
That's what it takes,
What it takes,
That's what it takes.

That's what it takes,
What it takes,
That's what it takes,
Oo, that's what it takes,
Oo, that's what it takes,
Oo, that's what it takes,
Oo, that's what it takes,
Oo, that's what it takes, that's what it takes,
That's what it takes,
Oo, that's what it takes.


FISH ON THE SAND
By George Harrison

I know you're in the sun,
I know you're close to ev'ryone.
At times it's like you don't have a hold on me.

I see you in the love,
I see you in the moon above,
But I wanna know that you've not lost the sight 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 (call me in the night),
And hide behind the daylight.
And blowing like the wind you don't let me see.

You know I feel a pain (know I feel a pain),
I'm tired of playing games with you,
Though there's nothing else I want 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 like a fish on the sand.
No use to no one else and all dried up,
Watching all our lives go by,
I can't believe you wanna see me crying.

I hold you in my heart (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 (look you in the eye),
You're swimming by my teardrops,
But I wanna know for sure that you'll 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 like a fish on the sand.
Not so much of a man,
More like a fish on the sand.


JUST FOR TODAY
By 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.
No be my own life's problem,
Just for one night.

If just for today,
I could try to live through this day only.
Not deal with all life's problems,
Just for today, mm-mm.

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
By Jeff Lynne and George Harrison

Precious words drift away from the meaning
And the sun melts the chill from our lives.
Helping us all to remember what we came here for.

This is love,
This is la-la-la-la love.
This is love (love),
This is la-la-la-la love.

Little things that will change you forever
May appear from way out of the blue.
Making fools of ev'rybody who don't understand.

This is love,
This is love.

Love.

Since our problems have been our own creation (come-a-come-a-come-a)
They also can be over come (come-a-come-a-come-a).
When we use the power provided free to ev'ryone.

This is love (love),
This is love, la-la-la love.
This is love (love),
This is la-la-la-la love.
Uh, uh, this is love (love),
This is la-la-la-la love.
This is love (love),
This is la-la-la-la love.

This is love (love).


WHEN WE WAS FAB
By George Harrison and Jeff Lynne

One, two...

Back then long time ago when grass was green,
Woke up in a daze,
Arrived like strangers in the night.

(Fab! Doot, doot, doot, doo)
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! Doot, doot, doot, doo)
Long time ago when we was fab.
(Ooooh fab!)
In my world you are my only love (oh, I am).

And while you're in this world,
The fuzz gonna come and claim you.
But you mo better wise,
When the buzz gonna come and take you away.

Take you away.
Take you away.

The microscope that magnified the tears,
Studied warts and all.
Still the life flowed on and on.

(Fab! Doot, doot, doot, doo)
Long time ago when we was fab.
(Fab!)
But it's all over now, baby blue.

(Aah! Doot, doot, doot, fab!)
Long time ago when we was fab.
(Fab!)
Like this pullover you sent to me.

(Oooh fab! Doot, doot, doot, gear!)
(Oooh fab!)
And you really got a hold on me.
(Oooh fab! Doot, doot, doot, gear!)
Long time ago when we was fab.

(Oooh fab!)


DEVIL'S RADIO
By George Harrison

Gossip, gossip,
Gossip, gossip,

I heard it in the night,
Words that thoughtless speak.
Like vultures swooping 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,
Never turns it down.
Talking about what he don't know
On the devil's radio.

He's in your TV set,
Won't give it a rest.
That soul betraying so and so,
The devil's radio.

(Oh yeah) Gossip (gossip), oh yeah.
(Gossip) Oh yeah (oh yeah), gossip.

It's wide and black like industrial waste,
Pollution of the highest degree.
You wonder why I don't hang out much,
I wonder how you can't see.

He's in the films and songs
And all your magazines.
It's ev'rywhere that you may go,
The devil's radio.

Runs thick and fast,
No one really sees quite what bad it can do.
As it shapes you into something cold,
Like an eskimo igloo.

It's all across our lives,
Like a weed it's spread.
'Til nothing else has space to grow,
The devil's radio.

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

(Gossip) Oh yeah (gossip), oh yeah.
(Gossip) Gossip (gossip), gossip.

(Oh yeah) I heard it on the secret wireless
(Gossip) You know, the devil's radio, child.

(Gossip, gossip)
(Gossip, gossip)


SOMEPLACE ELSE
By George Harrison
From the film "Shanghai Surprise"

Oo, someplace else.

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 saddened like I've 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 someplace else.

I hope you won't let go,
Maybe you'll let me know
That you'll be saddened like you've 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

I think I'm gonna leave them all in someplace else

Oo, someplace else.


WRECK OF THE HESPERUS
By George Harrison

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

I'm not a power or attorney,
But I can rock as good as Gibraltar.
Ain't no more no spring chicken,
Been plucked but I'm still kickin'.
But it's alright, it's alright.

Poison penmen sneak,
Have no nerve to speak.
Make up lies then they leak them out
Behind a pseudonym.
The rottenness in them reaching out trying to touch me.

Met some Oscars and Tonys,
I slipped on a pavement oyster.
Met a snake climbing ladders,
Got out of the line of fire.
But it's alright.

Brainless writers,
Gossip nonsenses
To others heads as dense as they is.
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 old as my mother,
But I tell you, I got some company.
But it's alright.

But it's alright, it's alright,
But it's alright, it's alright,
It's alright, alright.

It's alright.


BREATH AWAY FROM HEAVEN
By George Harrison
From the film "Shanghai Surprise"

In another life,
I woke up dreaming with a sigh.
As the morning light
Was painting whispers of a joy.

And I was in a candlelit bedroom,
Enchanting beauty shimmering magically,
Like an iridescent cloud being blown by a westerly wind, mm-mm.

She can move your soul without you knowing.
She can take your breath away from heaven, oo.

And I was captured by her loneliness,
A wounded tiger on a willowy path,
Like an opalescent moon all alone
In the sky of a foreign land, mm-mm.

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 everlasting blossom.
She can take your breath away from heaven, mm-mm.


GOT MY MIND SET ON YOU
By Rudy Clark

I got my mind set on you,
I got my mind set on you,
I got my mind set on you,
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,
Whole lotta precious time,
It's gonna take patience and time, mm-mm,
To do it, to do it, to do it,
To do it, to do it, to do it right, child.

And this time I know it's for real,
The feelings that I could feel.
I know if I put my mind to it,
I know that i really can do it.

I got my mind set on you,
Set on you.
I got my mind set on you,
Set on you.

It's gonna take time,
Whole lotta precious time,
It's gonna take patience and time, mm-mm,
To do it, to do it, to do it,
To do it, to do it, to do it right.

(Set on you, set on you)

(Set on you, set on you)
(Set on you, set on you)

Set on you, set on you.
I set my mind on you.
It's gonna set on you.
