You Tell Me

Lyrics:

When was that summer when the skies were blue?
The bright red cardinal flew down from it's tree?
You tell me

When was that summer when it never rained?
The air was buzzin' with the sweet old honeybee
Let's see
You tell me

Were we there?
Was it real?
Is it truly how I feel?
Maybe
You tell me

Solo

Were we there?
Is it true?
Was I really there with you?
Let's see
You tell me

When was that summer of a dozen words?
The butterflies and hummingbirds flew free
Let's see
You tell me

Let's see
You tell me

 

VINTAGE CLOTHES

(Paul McCartney)

Don’t live in the past

Don’t hold on to something that’s changing fast

What we are, is what we are and what we wear

Is vintage clothes, vintage clothes…

 

We jump up for joy

Who cares if we look like a girl or boy

What we are, is what we are and what we wear

Is vintage clothes, vintage clothes…

 

A little more, a little tall

Check the rack

What went out, is coming back

 

Don’t live in the past

Don’t hold on to something that’s changing fast

What we are, is what we are and what we wear

Is vintage clothes, vintage clothes…

 

A little more, a little tall

Check the rack

What went out, is coming back

 

GRATITUDE

Gratitude X3

 

I’m so grateful for everything you’ve ever givin’ me

How can I explain what it means to be loved by you

By you, loved by you, loved by you

 

Show my gratitude, gratitude, show my gratitude

I wanna show my gratitude, gratitude ya.

 

Well, I was lonely, I was living with a memory

But my cold and lonely nights ended when you sheltered me

Loved by you, I was loved by you, ya, I was loved by you

 

I wanna show my gratitude, gratitude, show my gratitude to you

Gratitude, show my gratitude to you, oh ya

 

I should stop loving you

Think what you put me through

But I don’t want to lock my heart away

I will look forward to

Days when I’d be loving you

Until then, gonna wish and hope and prey

 

Ya ya ya ya ya!

 

I wanna show my gratitude, gratitude

I wanna show my gratitude, show my

Yeah my gratitude

 

To be loved by you be loved By you,

Loved by you, to be loved by you

 

Gratitude X3

 

THAT WAS ME

(Paul McCartney)
© 2007 MPL Communications

 

That was me, in the scout camp, in the school play

Spade and bucket by the sea, that was me

 

That was me, playing conkers at the bus stop

On a blanket in the blue bells, that was me

 

The same me that stands here now

When I think that all this stuff

Can make a life that’s pretty hard to take it in, that was me

 

Well that was me, royal iris, on the river

Mersy beat n’ with the band, that was me

 

Yeah that was me, sweating cobwebs under contract

In the cellar, on TV, that was me

 

The same me that stands here now

If fate agreed that all of this

To make a lifetime, who am I to disagree, that was me

 

That was me, accapella at the alter

in the middle of the picture, that was me

 

That was me at the party, sweatin’ cobwebs

In a cellar on TV ya that was me

 

The same me that stands here now

When I think that all this stuff

Can make a life that’s pretty hard to take it in, that was me

That was me, ya, that was me!

 

 

FEET IN THE CLOUDS

(Paul McCartney)

Teacher said I had my head in the clouds

They directed, I suspected, disconnected hat in my way

 

On the street I had my feet on the ground

Stood corrected, well protected, resurrected had it my way

 

I’ve got my feet in the clouds, got my head on the ground

I know that I’m not a square as long as their not around

But I find it very very very very very very hard

Yes I find it very very very very very very hard

 

Love is fab it’s like a stab in the heart

My hidden treasure, made to measure, for my pleasure, I had it my way

 

I’ve got my feet in the clouds, got my head on the ground

I know that I’m not a square as long as their not around

But I find it very very very very very very hard

Oh I find it very very very very very very hard

Yes I find it very very very very very very hard…

 

I’ve got my feet in the clouds, got my head on the ground

I know that I’m not a square as long as their not around

But I find it so hard I find it so hard

 


Only Mama Knows

(Paul McCartney)
© 2007 MPL Communications


Lyrics:

Verse One:

Well, I was found in the transit lounge
of a dirty airport town
What was I doing on the road to ruin
Well my mama laid me down
My mama laid me down

Verse Two:

Around my hand was a plastic band
With a picture of my face
I was crying, left to die
in this godforsaken place
This godforsaken place

 

Chorus:

Only Mama knows
what she laid me down
in this godforsaken town
She was running too
What she was running from
I always wondered
I never knew
Only Mama knows
Only Mama knows

Middle:

I'm passing through
I'm on my way
On the road, no ETA
I'm passing through
No fixed abode
And that is why....
I need to try
To hold on
I've got to hold on (3X)

Verse Three:

Was it planned as a one night stand
or did she live in disgrace
Well, I never
will I ever
see my father's face
See my father's face

Repeat Chorus (2X)

Gotta hold on... (4X)

 

NOD YOUR HEAD

(Paul McCartney)
© 2007 MPL Communications

 

If you really love me baby

Better then stayin in bed

If you really love me baby, nod your head

 

If you really love me baby

Til you fall down dead, she said

If you ever wanna make it, nod your head

 

Nod it up, nod it down

Side to side, round and round

 

If you ever wanna prove it

Then you hang it on a thread

If you ever wanna shake it, nod your head

 

If you think the life your leading

Is better then the life you lead

If you like the life your livin

Nod your head

 

Well nod it up, nod it down

Side to side, round and round

Round and round

 

If you really love me baby

Better then stayin in bed

If you really love me baby, nod your head

 

Ever Present Past 


(Paul  McCartney)
© 2007 MPL Communications  



I've got too  much on my plate
Don't have no  time to be a decent lover
I hope it isn't  too late
Searching for  the time that has gone so fast
The time that I  thought would last
My Ever Present  Past
I've got too  much on my mind
I think of  everything to be discovered
I hope there's  something to find
Searching for  the time that has gone so fast
The time that I  thought would last
My Ever Present  Past
CHORUS:
The things I think I  did 
I do, I think I  did
The things I think I  did 
When I was a kid, when  I was a kid
BRIDGE:
I couldn't understand  a word that they were saying
But still I hung  around and took it all in
I wouldn't join in  with the games that they were playing
It went by, it went  by, in a flash
It flew by, it flew  by, in a flash
There's far too  much on my plate
Don't have no  time to be a decent lover
I hope it's  never too late
Searching for  the time that has gone so fast
The time that I  thought would last
My Ever Present  Past

 

SEE YOUR SUNSHINE

(Paul McCartney)
© 2007 MPL Communications


She makes me feel glad, I want  her so bad
My heart is beating madly for  her
If you ask me why, I’m not  gonna lie
I’ll have to say I adore  her
Ooh, look what you do to me  baby
You’re making me feel so fine  (so fine so fine)
Step out in front of me  baby
They want you in the front line  (so fine so fine)
They wanna see your sunshine, oh ya  ya
She picks up daisys from a field
She loves to weave them in her  hair
I know she knows it isn’t  real
She still hears music in the  air
Its coming  from inside her heart
I hope it lasts forever
The sun is shining in the  sky
She wants to dance around the  world
And though I’d love to be the  guy
That gets to walk off with the  girl
I’ll go along with all she  needs
And it will be my  pleasure
Ooh, look what you do to me  baby
You’re making me feel so fine  (so fine so fine)
Step out in front of me  baby
They want you in the front line  (so fine so fine)
They wanna see your sunshine, oh
She makes me feel glad, I want  her so bad
My heart is beating madly for  her
If you ask me why, I’m not  gonna lie
I’ll have to say I adore  her
Ooh, look what you do to me  baby
You’re making me feel so fine  (so fine so fine)
I wanna see your sunshine
 

 

HOUSE OF WAX

(Paul McCartney)
© 2007 MPL Communications



Lightning hits  the house of wax
Poets spill out  on the street
To set alight the  incomplete
Remainders of the  future

Hidden in the  yard. Hidden in the yard.

Thunder drowns  the trumpets blast
Poets scatter  through the night
But they can only  dream of flight
Away from their  confusion

Hidden in the  yard. Undemeath the wall
Buried deep below  a thousand layers lay
the answer to it  all

Lightning hits  the house of wax
Woman scream and  run around
To dance upon the  battleground
Like wild  demented horses

Hidden in the  yard. Undemeath the wall
Buried deep below a  thousand layers lay
the answer to it  all
 

 

Mr.  Bellamy

Lyrics:

I'm not coming down
No matter what you
I like it  up here without you

Go light, Mr. Bellamy
We'll have you down soon 

No one to tell me what to do
No one to hold my hand
Bellamy's  got a lot to do
And I hope that you'll understand 
Nobody here  to spoil the view
Interfere with my plans
Bellamy's got a job to do 
And he's hoping you'll understand

Steady, Lads
and Easy Does It 
Ooooh, don't frighten him!
Here we go... 

I'm not coming down
No matter what say
I like it up here anyway 

Sit tight, Mr. Bellamy
This shouldn't take long

In the delusionary state
No wonder he's been feeling strange of  late
In the delusionary state
No wonder he's  been feeling strange of late

Nobody here to spoil the view
Interfere  with my plans
Bellamy's got a job to do
And he's hoping you'll  understand

Steady, Lads
and Easy Does It
Don't frighten him! 
Here we go...
Here we go...

I'm not coming down
No matter  what you
I like it up here without you

(outro) Come down, come down to me (4X)
 

 

End of the End

(Paul McCartney)
© 2007 MPL Communications

 

At the end of the end
It's the start of a journey
To a much  better place
And this wasn't bad
So a much better place
would have  to be special
No need to be sad

On the day that I die I'd like jokes  to be told
And stories of old to be rolled out like carpets
That  children have played on
And laid on while listening to stories of old 

At the end of the end
It's the start of a journey
To a much  better place
And a much better place
Would have to be special
No  reason to cry

(whistling)

On the day that I die I'd like bells  to be rung
And songs that were sung to be hung out like blankets
That  lovers have played on
And laid on while listening to songs that were sung 

At the end of the end
It's the start of a journey
To a much  better place
And a much better place
Would have to be special
No  reason to cry
No need to be sad
At the end of the end
