Living in the Material World


Give Me Love (Give Me Peace On Earth)
Sue Me, Sue You Blues
The Light That Has Lighted The World
Don't Let Me Wait Too Long
Who Can See It
Living In The Material World
The Lord Loves The One (That Loves The Lord)
Be Here Now
Try Some Buy Some
The Day The World Gets 'Round
That Is All

Give Me Love
(Give Me Peace On Earth)

(Harrison)


Give me love
Give me love
Give me peace on earth
Give me light
Give me life
Keep me free from birth
Give me hope
Help me cope
With this heavy load
Trying to
Touch and reach you with
Heart and soul

My Lord
Please take hold of my hand
That I might understand you

Won't you please
Oh won't you

Give me love
Give me love
Give me peace on earth
Give me light
Give me life
Keep me free from birth
Give me hope
Help me cope
With this heavy load
Trying to
Touch and reach you with
Heart and soul

Won't you please
Oh won't you

Give me love
Give me love
Give me peace on earth
Give me light
Give me life
Keep me free from birth
Give me hope
Help me cope
With this heavy load
Trying to
Touch and reach you with
Heart and soul

Give me love
Give me love
Give me peace on earth
Give me light
Give me life
Keep me free from birth
Give me hope
Help me cope
With this heavy load
Trying to
Touch and reach you with
Heart and soul

My Lord

Sue Me, Sue You Blues

(Harrison)



You serve me and I'll serve you
Swing your partners, all get screwed
Bring your lawyer, and I'll bring mine
Get together, and we could have a bad time

It's affidavit swearing time
Sign it on the dotted line
Hold your Bible in your hand
Now all that's left is to find yourself a new band

We're gonna play the sue me, sue you blues
We're gonna play the sue me, sue you blues

Hold the block on money flow
Move it into joint escrow
Court receiver, laughs, and thrills
But in the end we just pay those lawyers their bills

When you serve me and I serve you
Swing your partners, all get screwed
Bring your lawyer and I'll bring mine
Get together, and we could have a bad time

We're gonna play the sue me, sue you blues
I'm tired of playing the sue me, sue you blues

The Light That Has Lighted the World

(Harrison)


I've heard how some people
Have said that I've changed
That I'm not what I was
How it really is a shame

The thoughts in their heads
Manifest on their brow
Like bad scars from ill feelings
They themselves arouse

So hateful of anyone that is happy or free
They live all their lives without looking to see
The light that has lighted the world

It's funny how people just won't accept change
As if nature itself they'd prefer re-arranged
So hard to move on when you're down in a hole
Where there's so little chance to experience soul

I'm grateful to anyone that is happy or free
For giving me hope while I'm looking to see
The light that has lighted the world

Don’t Let Me Wait to Long

(Harrison)



How I love you baby
So don't let me wait too long

How I love you baby
So don't let me wait too long

How I miss you baby
So don't let me wait too long

How I miss you baby
So don't let me wait too long

'Till you're here by my side
Now only you know how to dry up al lof those
Tears that I've cried

Here, with our love
Now only you know how to lay it down
Like it came from above

You know it's you that I love

Now don't let me wait too long
Now don't let me wait too long
Now don't let me wait too long
Now don't let me wait too long

Till you're here by my side
Now only you know how to dry eye up all of those
Tears that I've cried

Here with your love
Now only you know how to lay it there
Like it came from above

You know that it's you that I love

So don't let me wait too long
So don't let me wait too long

How I miss you baby
So don't let me wait too long

How I miss you baby
So don't let me wait
Don't let me wait
Don't let me wait too long

Who Can See It

(Harrison)



I've been held up
I've been run down
I can see quite clearly now
Through those past years
When I played towing the line

I only ask
That what I feel
Should not be denied me now
As it's been earned
And I have seen my life belongs to me
My love belongs to who can see it

I've lived in fear
I've been out there
I've been 'round and seen my share
Of this sad world
And all the hate that it's stirred

I only ask
That what I know
Should not be denied me now
As it's been learned
And I have seen my life belongs to me
My love belongs to who can see it

I only ask
That what I feel
Should not be denied me now
As it's been earned
And I have seen my life belongs to me
My love belongs to who can see it

My love belongs to who . . .

Living In the Material World

(Harrison)



I'm living in the material world
Living in the material world
Can't say what I'm doing here
But I hope to see much clearer
After living in the material world

I got born into the material world
Getting worn out in the material world
Used my body like a car
Taking me both near and far
Met my friends all in the material world

Met them all there in the material world
John and Paul here in the material world
Though we started out quite poor
We got Richie on a tour
Got caught up in the material world

From the Spiritual Sky
Such sweet memories have I
To the Spiritual Sky
How I pray
Yes I pray
That I won't get lost or go astray

As I'm fated for the material world
Get frustrated in the material world
Senses never gratified
Only swelling like a tide
That could drown me in the material world

From the Spiritual Sky
Such sweet memories have I
To the Spiritual Sky
How I pray
Yes I pray
That I won't get lost or go astray

While I'm living in the material world
Not much 'giving' in the material world
Got a lot of work to do
Try to get a message through
And get back out of this material world

I'm living in the material world
Living in the material world
I hope to get out of this place
By the LORD SRI KRSNA'S GRACE
My salvation from the material world

The Lord Loves the One (That Loves the Lord)

(Harrison)



Well, the Lord loves the one that loves the Lord
And the law says if you don't give, then you don't get loving

Now the Lord helps those that help themselves
And the law says whatever you do is going to come right back on you

We all making out
Like we own this whole world
While the leaders of nations
They're acting like big girls
With no thoughts for their God
Who provides us with all
But when death comes to claim them
Who will stand, and who will fall?

Now the Lord loves the one that loves the Lord
And the law says if you don't give, then you don't get loving

Yes the Lord helps those that help themselves
And the law says whatever you do is going to come right back on you

We all move around
With objectives in mind
To become rich or famous
With our reputations signed
But the few that can reach
To this coveted slot
Don't escape old age creeping
Through their bodies like a rot

Well, the Lord loves the one that loves the Lord
And the law says if you don't give, then you don't get loving

Now the Lord helps those that help themselves
And the law says whatever you do is going to come right back on you

Well, the Lord loves the one that loves the Lord
And the law says if you don't give, then you don't get loving

Now the Lord helps those that help themselves
And the law says whatever you do is going to come right back on you

Be Here Now

(Harrison)



Remember
Now
Be Here Now
As it's not like it was before

The past
Was
Be Here Now
As it's not like it was before
It was

Why try to live a life
That isn't real no-how
A mind that wants to wander
'Round a corner
Is an un-wise mind

Now
Is
Be Here Now
And it's not what it was before
Remember
Now
Be Here Now
As it's not like it was before
It was

Try Some Buy Some

(Harrison)



Way back in time
Someone said try some
I tried some
Now buy some
I bought some
Oh…

After a while
When I had tried them
Denied them
I opened my eyes and
I saw you

Not a thing did I have
Not a thing did I see
'Till I called on your love
And your love came to me

OH…

Through my life
I've seen gray sky
Met big fry
Seen them die
To get high
Oh…

And when it seemed
That I would always
Be lonely
I opened my eyes and
I saw you

Not a thing did I feel
Not a thing did I know
'Till I called on your love
And your love sure did grow

OH…

Won't you try some
Baby won't you buy some

Won't you try some
Baby won't you buy some

The Day the World Gets ‘Round

(Harrison)



The day the world gets 'round
To understanding where it is
Using all it's found
To help each other, hand in hand

The day the world gets 'round
To understanding where it's gone
Losing so much ground
Killing each other, hand in hand

Such foolishness in man
I want no part of their plan – oh no

If you're the destructive kind
Now I'm working from day to day
As I don't want to be like you
I look for the pure of heart
And the ones that have made a start
But Lord, there are just a few
Who bow before you
In silence they pray
Oh how they pray
For the day the world gets 'round

Using all they've found
To help each other, hand in hand

The Day The World Gets 'Round

That Is All

(Harrison)



That is all I want to say
Our love could save the day
That is all I'm waiting for
To try to love you more

And that is all I want to do
To get right next to you
That is all I'm living for
Your love and nothing more
And that is all

Times I find it hard to say
With useless words getting in my way
Silence often says much more
Than trying to say what's been said before

That is all I want from you
A smile when I feel blue

That is all I'm waiting for
Your love and nothing more

And that is all

Silence often says much more
Than trying to say what's been said before

But that is all I want to do
To give my love to you
That is all I'm living for
Please let me love you more
And that is all
