Matchbox (live at the BBC)

I'm sitting here watching

Matchbox hole in my clothes

I said I'm sitting here wondering

Matchbox hole in my clothes

I ain't got no matches

Sure got a long way to go



I'm an ole poor boy, and I

Ain't got no home

I'm an ole poor boy, and I'm a

Long way from home

And everything I do

Turns out mighty wrong

[Alright, John!]

Ah, yeah



Well, if you don't want my peaches honey

Please don't shake my tree

Well, if you don't want Ringo's peaches honey

Please don't mess around my tree

I've got news for you baby

Leave me here in misery



Well, I'm sitting here watching

Matchbox hole in my clothes

I said I'm sitting here wondering

Matchbox hole in my clothes

I ain't got no matches

Sure got a long way to go

A Hard Day's Night (live at the BBC)

It's been a hard day's night, and I been working like a dog

It's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a log

But when I get home to you I find the things that you do

Will make me feel alright



You know I work all day to get you money to buy you things

And it's worth it just to hear you say you're going to give me everything

So why on earth should I moan, cos when I get you alone

You know I feel OK



When I'm home everything seems to be right

When I'm home feeling you holding me tight, tight, yeah



It's been a hard day's night, and I been working like a dog

It's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a log

But when I get home to you I find the things that you do

Will make me feel alright owww!



So why on earth should I moan, cos when I get you alone

You know I feel OK



When I'm home everything seems to be right

When I'm home feeling you holding me tight, tight, yeah



It's been a hard day's night, and I been working like a dog

It's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a log

But when I get home to you I find the things that you do

Will make me feel alright

You know I feel alright

You know I feel alright

Get Back (live at rootfop performance)

Jojo was a man who thought he was a loner

But he knew it couldn't last

For some California grass

Get back, get back

Get back to where you once belonged

Get back, (Wow) get back

Get back to where you once belonged

Sweet Loretta Martin thought she was a woman

But she was another man

All the girls around her say she's got it coming

But she gets it while she can

Ah get back, get back

Get back to where you once belonged

Ah get back, get back

Get back to where you once belonged

Get back Loretta

Get back home



[Come on, come on,

ah come on, go home.

Your mama's waiting in her high heeled shoes

and her low neck sweater.

Get back to her, yeah.]



Oh, ah get back, get back

Get back to where you once belonged

Oh get back yeah, get back

Get back to where you once belonged



[Yeah get back.

You've been out too long, Loretta.

You've playing on the roofs again and that's no good.

And you know your Momma's doesn't like it.

She'll get angry.

She's gonna have you arrested!]



So get back

Oh get back, oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Sure To Fall (In Love With You) (live at the BBC)

I'm sure to fall, fall in love

I'm sure to fall in love with you

Darling don't ever let me go



Loving you is the natural thing to do

I want you for the rest of my life



So hold me tight

I Want To Tell You

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 but I don't know why

I don't mind

I could wait forever, 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 but I don't know why

I don't mind

I could wait forever, I've got time

I've got time, I've got time

Thank You Girl

Oh, oh, you've been good to me

You made me glad

When I was blue

And eternally I'll always be

In love with you

And all I gotta do

Is thank you girl, thank you girl



I could tell the world

A thing or two about our love

I know little girl

Only a fool would doubt our love

And all I gotta do

Is thank you girl, thank you girl



Thank you girl for loving me

The way that you do (Way that you do)

That's the kind of love

That is too good to be true

And all I gotta do

Is thank you girl, thank you girl



Oh, oh, you've been good to me

You made me glad

When I was blue

And eternally I'll always be

In love with you

And all I gotta do

Is thank you girl, thank you girl



Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh

Within You Without You

We were talking about the space between us all

And the people who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion

Never glimpse the truth, then it's far too late, when they pass away

We were talking about the love we all could share

When we find it, to try our best to hold it there with our love

With our love, we could save the world, if they only knew



Try to realise it's all within yourself

No one else can make you change

And to see you're really only very small

And life flows on within you and without you



We were talking about the love that's gone so cold

And the people who gain the world and lose their soul

They don't know, they can't see, are you one of them?



When you've seen beyond yourself then you may find

Peace of mind is waiting there

And the time will come when you see we're all one

And life flows on within you and without you

I'm So Tired (take 3, 6 and 9)

(combination of takes 3, 6 and 9)

[OK, this is it.

1,2,3]



I'm so tired, I haven't slept a wink

I'm so tired, my mind is on the blink

I wonder should I get up and fix myself a drink

No, no, no



I'm so tired, I don't know what to do

I'm so tired, my mind is set on you

I wonder should I call you but I know what you'd do

You'd say I'm putting you on

But it's no joke, it's doing me harm

You know I can't sleep, I can't stop my brain

You know it's three weeks, I'm going insane

You know I'd give you everything I've got

For a little peace of mind



I'm so tired, I'm feeling so upset

Although I'm so tired, I'll have another cigarette

And curse Sir Walter Raleigh

He was such a stupid get



You'd say I'm putting you on

But it's no joke, it's doing me harm

You know I can't sleep, I can't stop my brain

You know it's three weeks, I'm going insane

I'd give you everything I've got

For a little peace of mind

Give you everything I've got

For a little peace of mind

Give you everything I've got

For a little peace of mind

When I Get Home

Whoa-I, whoa-I

I got a whole lot of things to tell her

When I get home



Come on, out of my way

Cos I'm gonna see my baby today

I've got a whole lot of things I've gotta say to her



Whoa-I, whoa-I

I got a whole lot of things to tell her

When I get home



Come on if you please

I've got no time for trivialities

I've got a girl who's waiting home for me tonight



Whoa-I, whoa-I

I got a whole lot of things to tell her

When I get home



When I'm getting home tonight

I'm gonna hold her tight

I'm gonna love her till the cows come home

I bet I'll love her more

Till I walk out that door again



Come on, let me through

I've got so many things I've got to do

I've got no business being here with you this way



Whoa-I, whoa-I

I've got a whole lot of things to tell her

When I get home, yeah

I've got a whole lot of things to tell her

When I get home

The End (alternate version)

(Love you, love you

Love you, love you

Love you, love you

Love you, love you

Love you, love you

Love you, love you

Love you, love you

Love you, love you

Love you, love you)



And in the end

The love you take

Is equal to the love

You make



[Final chord]

Revolution 9

[Bottle of Claret for you if I had realised...



Well, do it next time.



I forgot about it, George, I'm sorry.

Will you forgive me?



Yes.]



Number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number



Then there's this Welsh Rarebit wearing some brown underpants

About the shortage of grain in Hertfordshire

Everyone of them knew that as time went by

They'd get a little bit older and a litter slower but

It's all the same thing, in this case manufactured by someone who's always

Umpteen your father's giving it diddly-i-dee

District was leaving, intended to pay for



Number 9, number 9



Who's to know?

Who was to know?



Number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9



I sustained nothing worse than

Also for example

Whatever you're doing

A business deal falls through

I informed him on the third night

When fortune gives



Number 9, number 9, number 9



People ride, people ride

Ride, ride, ride, ride, ride

Ride! Ride!



9, number 9, number 9, number 9



I've missed all of that

It makes me a few days late

Compared with, like, wow!

And weird stuff like that

Taking our sides sometimes

Floral bark

Rouge doctors have brought this specimen



I have nobody's short-cuts, aha...



9, number 9



With the situation



They are standing still



The plan, the telegram



Ooh ooh



Number 9, number



Ooh



A man without terrors from beard to false

As the headmaster reported to me

My son he really can try as they do to find function

Tell what he was saying, and his voice was low and his hive high

And his eyes were low



Alright!



Number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9



So the wife called me and we'd better go to see a surgeon

Or whatever to price it... yellow underclothes

So, any road, we went to see the dentist instead

Who gave her a pair of teeth which wasn't any good at all

So I said I'd marry, join the fucking navy and went to sea



In my broken chair, my wings are broken and so is my hair

I'm not in the mood for whirling



Um da

Aaah



How?

Dogs for dogging, hands for clapping

Birds for birding and fish for fishing

Them for themming and when for whimming



Only to find the night-watchman

Unaware of his presence in the building



Onion soup



Number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9



Industrial output

Financial imbalance



Thrusting it between his shoulder blades



The Watusi

The twist



Eldorado



Take this brother, may it serve you well



Maybe it's nothing

Aaah

Maybe it's nothing

What? What? Oh



Maybe even then

Impervious in London

Could be difficult thing

It's quick like rush for peace is

Because it's so much

It was like being naked



If you became naked
