"Wrack My Brain"

"Wrack My Brain"


Wrack my brain, wrack my brain,
Till my head's filled with pain,
Wrack my brain.

All dried up, i'm all dried up,
All i have's this empty cup,
All dried up.

What i have, you don't want,
What you want, i can't give.
I got out of touch with you and yours,
The way that you live.

I try to do my best for you,
While the sky pours down the rain,
Wrack my brain.

With a will there's a way,
But there's no way i can see,
Coming up with something you'd enjoy
As much as tv

All the same, i play the game,
Up and down old memory lane,
Wrack my brain, (wrack my brain)
Till my head is filled with pain,
Wrack my brain, (wrack my brain)
While i slowly go insane,
Wrack my brain. (wrack my brain)

"Write One For Me"
(feat. Willie Nelson)

"Write One For Me"
(feat. Willie Nelson)



A young man strumming his guitar
In the corner of a bar
Singing 'bout a brocken heart
For hours and hours
By closing time I face the fact
That if I had a gift like that
I know that I could win her back
But there's some things I can't do
So now it's up to you.

Write one for me
Put the perfect words together
Write one for me
The melody to last forever
I don't have the song, so if you please
Tell her she's a right one for me.

It does no good for you to play
A pretty song like Yesterday
'cause that's not what I need to say
To get her to love me
I'm too scared to tell her so
So if you'd be my Cyrano
And send to her a tune I know
That she would send her mind
So take a little time and...

Write one for me...

If I could have a poem, I would send one
But I don't have a pen, I can't depend on
I can't come up with a single line
So would you write the song
And tell her what's is my mine, all mine.

Write one for me...

"Wrong All The Time"

"Wrong All The Time"



Why am I wrong all the time?
That's all that I want to know
I used to do everything right
It doesn't seem that long ago

Why am I wrong all the time?
I'm not the one who has changed
You look with a new point of view
I still look at you the same

I'm the same man that I was
Now all you see are my mistakes
All I want to give is love
But the way that we are
Makes my heart break

Give me a reason to go on
Or I'm gonna walk out that door
And you'll realize when I'm gone
I'm the same man that I was before

I'm the same man that I was
Now all you see are my mistakes
All I want to give is love
But the way that we are
Makes my heart break

Give me a reason to go on
Letting love die is unkind
If I still know you're the one
Why am I wrong all the time?
How can I be wrong all the time?

"Y Not"

"Y Not"


Why Not? Check in on the merchandise
Why Not? Always something in your size
Why Not? Who says that it's not allowed?
Why not do it if you want to do it now?

I've heard all the reasons
Why you can't do this, and why you can't do that
I can't understand it
And I don't believe it, not even for a minute
I still don't believe it, even when I'm in it

Trying to get out and trying to get in
Trying to remember all the places I've been

Let's stop reading in between the lines
Let's stop doing things and paying fines
Let's stop thinking that we're in control
Let's stop listening in to our soul
Let's stop getting in each other way
Let's stop doing what we're doing today

Sometimes I think it's easy
Sometimes I think it's bad
I've got to remember some days when I feel sad
Nothing lasts for ever, and everything must pass
As long as I keep going, If get off my ass

I listen to my music, I listen to my soul
The place that I come from
Well it's still rock and roll

I've got things to do and things to say
I've got love to help me every day
I've got bridges that I've got to cross
I've got to get the things that I have lost
I've got to make it real and make it sound
Why not? Why not? Why not?

[Indian sounding lyrics and rhythm, with sitar]

Why Not check in on the merchandise
Why not? Always something in your size
Why Not? Who says that it's not allowed?
Why not do it if you want to now?
Why Not? I promise you will be surprised
Why Not? Why Not? Why Not?

[Indian sounding lyrics and rhythm, with sitar]

Why Not?...
[Indian sounding lyrics and rhythm, with sitar]
Why Not.....Why Not? Why Not?
Why Not, Why Not, Why Not.

"Yellow Submarine"

"Yellow Submarine"



Okay, we're gonna do a number now and you all know the words so I like to hear you all join in.
Are you ready to join in?
YEAH!!
'Cause it's very simple, very easy, it's a place we all like to be and it goes like this

In the town where i was born, yes! Yes!
Lived a man who sailed to sea.
And he told us of his life
In the land of submarines.
So we sailed on to the sun,
Till we found the sea of green,
And we played beneath the waves,
In our yellow submarine.

Come on now!

We all live in a yellow submarine,
Yellow submarine, a yellow submarine.
We all live in a yellow submarine,
A yellow submarine, a yellow submarine.

And our friends are all aboard,
Many more of them live next door.
And the band began to play.

Ho!

We all live in a yellow submarine,
A yellow submarine, a yellow submarine.
We all live in a yellow submarine,
A yellow submarine, a yellow submarine.

Full speed ahead, mister parker, full speed ahead!
Full speed over here, sir!
Action station! Action station!
Aye, aye, sir, fire!
Heaven! Heaven!

As we live (as we live)
A life of ease, ( a life of ease)
Ev'ryone of us (ev'ryone of us)
Has all we need. (has all we need)
A sky of blue (sky of blue)
A sea of green, (sea of green)
In our yellow (in our yellow)
Submarine. (submarine, ha! Ha!)

"come on, this time!

We all live in a yellow submarine,
A yellow submarine, a yellow submarine.
We all live in a yellow submarine,
A yellow submarine, a yellow submarine.

Last time!
We all live in a yellow submarine, come on in the back!
A yellow submarine, yeah, a yellow submarine.
We all live in a yellow submarine,
A yellow submarine, a yellow submarine.

Thank you! Merci beaucoup! Danke schon!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Well, that's it from us, we'll be off now. I'm only kidding
Okay, sit down, sit down, come on, you've had your fun.
I get so bossy when i get up here.
Okay, we've prompted up all of the show, this is like the solo spots in the show
Where a couple of members are doing acoustic numbers for you while the rest of the band
Go and cool off. Then we gradually build up again and then i'll return.
And this evening we're gonna start with the mighty Joe Walsh!

"You Always Hurt The One You Love"

"You Always Hurt The One You Love"



Uh - doo-doo-doo
Uh - doo-doo-doo

You always hurt the one you love,
The one you shouldn't hurt at all.
You always take the sweetest rose
And crush it until the petals fall.
You always break the kindest heart
With a hasty word you can't recall.
So if i broke your heart last night
It's because i love you most of all.

You always break the kindest heart
With a hasty word you can't recall.
So if i broke your heart last night
It's because i love you most of all.
It's because i love you most of all.

Uh - doo-doo-doo
Uh - doo-doo-doo

"You And Me (Babe)"

"You And Me (Babe)"



For you and me, babe, it's time that we part,
And between you, babe, i gave you my heart,
For these few moments,
I wish we could start at the top again.

For me and you, babe, it's the end of our date,
Me and the band, babe, all thought it was great,
To entertain you,
But it's getting late and it's time to leave.

Now i wanna tell you the pleasure really was mine.
Yes, i had a good time, singing and drinking some wine.
And when the sun sets in the sky
And you close your weary eyes,
I'll be in some night-club, getting high, that's no lie.

Now you and me, babe, we may meet again,
And in the meanwhile, stay out of the rain.
But keep your nose dry
And give as a smile if you liked the show.

Now i wanna tell you the pleasure really was mine.
Yes, i had a good time, singing and drinking some wine.
Though i may not be in your town,
You know that i can still be found
Right here on this record, spinning 'round, with the sounds.

For you and me, dave, they turned out the lights,
The violins stayed to wish you good night.
Me and the band-aid are reaching the end, so it's off we go.

Goodbye, ev'rybody!

Come on, lads, play it for me, boys, there we are.

Well, it's the end of the night and i'd just like to say thank you to ev'ryone involved
In this piece of plastic we're making.
Good, old jim keltner, klaus voorman, nicky hopkins, george harrison and john
Lennon, paul mccartney.
Richard perry, who's producing this masterpiece, bill schnee, ever smiling, ever
Loving, vini poncideo and all his other friends and ev'rybody else who joined in and
Helped us on this wonderful record.
So it's a big good night from your friends and mine, ringo starr.

"You Belong To Me"

"You Belong To Me"



See the pyramids across the nile,
See the sunrise on a tropic isle,
Just remember, darling, all the while,
You belong to me.

See the jungle when it's wet with rain,
See the ocean from a silver plane,
Just remember till you're home again,
You belong to me.

I'll be so alone without you,
Darling, you'll be lonesome too and blue.

See the market place in old algiers,
Send me photographs and souvenirs,
Just remember till your dream appears,
You belong to me.

Oh, i'll be so alone without you, ("oh, i will, honey")
Darling, darling, you'll be lonesome too,
And you're gonna be blue.

See the pyramids across the nile,
See the sunrise on a tropic isle,
Just remember, darling, all the while,
You belong to me,
You belong to me.

(just to little ol' me)

"You Don't Know Me At All"

"You Don't Know Me At All"



(Ah - ah)
(Ah - ah)

You say you know me,
You really know me,
But you don't know me at all.
Thinkin' that i just don't care,
Any minute i'm not there,
Sittin' all alone, pickin' up the phone to call.

You say you need me,
But though you need me,
You wonder how did you fall.
But if you swear it can't be true,
That i should care the way i do,
Then you don't know me at all.

(ah - ah)
(ah - ah)

(shoobi doo dam dam) i'm not foolin' around.
It's nothing new, i'm telling you,
This heart of mine beats just for you.
(shoobi doo dam dam) you're the only one,
And there's no reason i should ever lie.
(oh-oh, oh-oh)

You say you need me, (ah-ah)
But though you need me, (ah-ah)
You wonder how did you fall.
But if you swear it can't be true,
That i should care the way i do,
Then you don't know me at all.

You don't know me, (ah-)
You don't know me, (ah-)
You don't,
(shoobi doo dam dam)
(shoobi doo dam dam)
You don't know me at all.

You don't know me, (shoobi doo dam dam)
You don't know me, (shoobi doo dam dam)
You don't know me, you don't know me at all.

You don't know me, (shoobi doo dam dam)
You don't know me, (shoobi doo dam dam)
You don't know me, you don't know me at all.

You don't know me. (shoobi doo dam dam)
