Return to The Beatles Playhouse homepage
Take my time
Have my love
I'll see you there on cloud nine
Take my hope
Your smile, it comes back to me
As we got to get out in this world together
If that's what it takes (that's what it takes)
The closer I get (that's what it takes)
And now that it's shining through
If we got to be in this life forever
If that's what it takes (that's what it takes)
The closer I get (that's what it takes)
That's what it takes, that's what it takes
That's what it takes, what it takes
ooh, that's what it takes
ooh, that's what it takes
ooh, that's what it takes
I see you in the love
You know I need you
You call me in the night (you call me in the night)
You know I feel a pain (you know I feel a pain)
You know I love you
No use to no one else, they've all dried up
I hold you in my heart (hold you in my heart)
I look you in the eye (look you in the eye)
You know I want you
You know I need you
Not so much of a man
If just for one night
If just (for) today
If just for one night
Just for today
Just for today
Little things that will change you forever
This is love, this is love
Since our problems have been our own creation
This is love, this is la la la-la love
Caresses fleeced you in the morning light
And while you're in this world
The microscopes that magnified the tears
Fab
I heard it in the night
I hear it through the day
Oh yeah, gossip
He's in the clubs and bars
He's in your TV set
Gossip, gossip
It's white and black like industrial waste
He's in the films and songs
Oh yeah, gossip
Runs thick and fast, no one really sees
It's all across our lives
Can creep up in the dark
(Gossip) oh yeah, (gossip) oh yeah
Took me a while to say
And for a while you could comfort me
Loneliness (oh-o-oh)
(Someplace else)
I hope you won't let go
And for a while I could comfort you
Loneliness (oh-o-oh)
And for a while you could comfort me
Loneliness (oh-o-oh)
Loneliness (oh-o-oh)
(Someplace else)
I think I'm gonna leave them all
(Someplace else)
I'm not a power or attorney
Poison penmen sneak, have no nerve to speak
Met some Oscars and Tonys
Brainless writers gossip nonsenses
I'm not the wreck of the Hesperus
But it's alright, it's alright
And I was in the candlelit bedroom
She can move your soul without you knowing
And I was captured by her loneliness
She can take your breath away from heaven
But it's gonna take money
It's gonna take time
I got my mind set on you
And this time I know it's for real
I got my mind set on you
But it's gonna take money
It's gonna take time
I got my mind set on you
And this time I know it's for real
But it's gonna take money
It's gonna take time
Set on youCloud Nine
(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
I'll show you cloud nine
Take my smile and my heart
They were yours from the start
The pieces to omit are mine
Use it while it does you good
Share my highs but the times
That it hurts pay no mind
The pieces you don't need are mine
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
That's What It Takes
(Harrison)
And now it begins to shine
And you found the eyes to see
Each little drop at dawn of ev'ry day
And whatever you may say
Don't let it stop, never fade away
Doesn't really matter if we start to make some changes
Then I've got to be strong (that's what it takes)
Don't want to be wrong
If that's what it takes
Into that open door (what it takes)
I've got to be sure
If that's what it takes
And you can see all this world
Don't let it stop, never fade away
Then we'd better be taking all the chances
Then I've got to be strong (that's what it takes)
Don't want to be wrong
If that's what it takes
Into that open door (what it takes)
I've got to be sure
If 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
ooh, that's what it takes
Fish On the Sand
(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 moon above
But I want to know that you're not lost inside of me
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
And hide behind the daylight
You're blowing like a wind, you don't let me see
I'm tired of playing games with you
Though there's nothing else I want that would set me free
You know I need you
If I can't be with you
I'm not so much of a man
I'm a fish on the sand
Watching all our lives go by
I can't believe you'd want to see me crying
I know that you're a part of me
But it's a must to know that you love me too
You're swimming by my teardrops
But I want to know for sure that you'll let me see
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 love you
If I'm not with you
I'm not so much of a man
I'm a fish on the sand
More a fish on the sand
Just For Today
(Harrison)
Just for today
I could try to live through this day only
Not deal with all life's problems
Just for today
I could feel not sad and lonely
Not be my own life's problem
Just for one night
I could try to live through this day only
Not deal with all life's problems
Just for today
I could feel not sad and lonely
Not be my own life's problem
Just for one night
I could try to live through this day only
Not deal with all life's problems
Just for today
This is Love
(Harrison)
Precious words drift away from their 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, this is la la la-la love
May appear from way out of the blue
Making fools of ev'rybody who don't understand
This is love, this is la la la-la love
This is love, this is la la la-la love
This is love, this is la la la-la love
They also can be overcome
When we use the power provided free to everyone
This is love, this is la la la-la love
This is love, this is la la la-la love
This is love, this is la la la-la love
Oh, this is love, this is la la la-la love
This is love, this is la la la-la love
When We Was Fab
(Harrison)
Back then long time ago when grass was green
Woke up in a daze
Arrived like stangers in the night
Fab - long time ago when we was fab
Fab - back when income tax was all we had
Casualties at dawn
And we did it all
Fab - long time ago when we was fab
Fab - you are my world you are my only love
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
Studied warts and all
Still the life flows on and on
Fab - long time ago when we was fab
Fab - but It's All Over Now Baby Blue
Fab - long time ago when we was fab
Fab - like this pullover you sent to me
And You've Really Got A Hold Me
fab - long time ago when we was fab
Devil's Radio
(Harrison)
Gossip, gossip
Gossip, gossip
Words that thoughtless speak
Like vultures swooping down below
On the devil's radio
Airwaves gettin' filled
With gossip broadcast to and fro
On the devil's radio
Gossip, oh yeah
And never turns it down
Talking about what he don't know
On the devil's radio
Won't give it a rest
That soul betraying so and so
The devil's radio
Gossip, gossip
(Oh yeah) gossip, (gossip) oh yeah
(Gossip) oh yeah, (oh yeah) gossip
Pollution of the highest degree
You wonder why I don't hang out much
I wonder how you can't see
And on all your magazines
It's everywhere that you may go
The devil's radio
Gossip, oh yeah
Quite what bad it can do
As it shapes you into something cold
Like an Eskimo igloo
Like a weed it's spread
'Til nothing else has space to grow
The devil's radio
Make us hide behind shades
And buzzing like a dynamo
The devil's radio
(Gossip) gossip, (gossip) gossip
(Oh yeah, gossip) I heard you on the secret wireless
(Gossip, oh yeah) You know the devil's radio, child
Gossip, gossip
Gossip, gossip
Someplace Else
(Harrison)
You got into my life
I don't know how you found me, but you did
It stopped me heading someplace else
Wish you belong to me
But now I'm saddened like I've never been
Regretting that we'll leave
And hold me for some time
I need you now to be beside me
While all my world is so untidy
Empty faces (oh-o-oh)
Wish I could leave them all (o-oh)
In someplace else
Maybe you'll let me know
That you'll be saddened like you've never been
Regretting that we'll leave
And hold you in my mind
I need you now to be beside me
While all my world is sad and crazy
Empty faces (oh-o-oh)
Wish I could leave them all (o-oh)
In someplace else
And hold me for some time
I need you now to be beside me
While all my world is so untidy
Empty faces (oh-o-oh)
Wish I could leave them all (o-oh)
In someplace else
Empty faces (oh-o-oh)
Wish I could leave them all (o-oh)
In someplace else
In someplace else
Wreck of the Hesperus
(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
But I can rock as good as Gibraltar
Ain't no more no spring chicken
Been plucked but I'm still kicking
But it's alright, it's alright
Make up lies then they leak 'm out
Behind a pseudonym, the rottenness in them
Reaching out trying to touch me
I slipped on a pavement oyster
Met a snake climbing ladders
Got out of the line of fire
(But it's alright)
To others heads as dense as they is
It's the same old melody
What they see is faulty
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
It's alright, alright
It's alright
Breath Away From Heaven
(Harrison)
In another life
I woke up dreaming with a sigh
As the morning light
Was painting whispers of a joy
Enchanting beauty shimmering magically
Like an irridescent cloud
Being blown by a westerly wind
She can take your breath away from heaven
A wounded tiger on a willowy path
Like an opalescent moon all alone
In the sky of a foreign land
She can move your soul without you knowing
She can take the breath away from heaven
She is like an everlasting blossom
She can take your breath away from heaven
