Nowhere Man

Thursday, November 19th, 2009

He’s a real Nowhere Man,
Sitting in his Nowhere Land,
Making all his Nowhere plans for nobody.
Doesn’t have a point of view,
Knows not where he’s going to,
Isn’t he a bit like you and me?

Nowhere man please listen,
You don’t know what you’re missing,
Nowhere Man, the world is at your command.
He’s as blind as he can be,
Just sees what he wants to see,
Nowhere Man can you see me at all?

Nowhere Man don’t worry,
Take your time, don’t hurry,
Leave it all till somebody else,
Lends you a hand.
Doesn’t have a point of view,
Knows not where he’s going to,
Isn’t he a bit like you and me?

Nowhere Man please listen,
You don’t know what you’re missing,
Nowhere Man, the world is at your command.
He’s a real Nowhere Man,
Sitting in his Nowhere Land,
Making all his Nowhere plans for nobody.
Making all his Nowhere plans for nobody.
Making all his Nowhere plans for nobody.

Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)

Thursday, November 19th, 2009

I once had a girl,
Or should I say
She once had me.
She showed me her room,
Isn’t it good?
Norwegian wood.

She asked me to stay and she told me sit anywhere,
So I looked around and I noticed there wasn’t a chair.

I sat on a rug
Biding my time,
Drinking her wine.
We talked until two,
And then she said,
‘It’s time for bed’.

She told me she worked in the morning and started to laugh,
I told her I didn’t, and crawled off to sleep in the bath.

And when I awoke
I was alone,
This bird has flown,
So I lit a fire,
Isn’t it good?
Norwegian wood.

Drive My Car

Thursday, November 19th, 2009

Asked a girl what she wanted to be,
She said, baby can’t you see?
I wanna be famous, a star of the screen,
But you can do something in between.

Baby, you can drive my car, yes I’m gonna be a star,
Baby, you can drive my car, and maybe I’ll love you.

I told that girl that my prospects were good,
She said, baby it’s understood,
Working for peanuts is all very fine,
But I can show you a better time.

Baby, you can drive my car, yes I’m gonna be a star,
Baby, you can drive my car, and maybe I’ll love you.
Beep beep mm, beep beep yeh!

Baby, you can drive my car, yes I’m gonna be a star,
Baby, you can drive my car, and maybe I’ll love you.

I told that girl I could start right away,
And she said, listen, babe, I’ve got something to say,
Got no car, and it’s breaking my heart,
But I’ve found a driver, that’s a start.

Baby, you can drive my car, yes I’m gonna be a star,
Baby, you can drive my car, and maybe I’ll love you.
Beep beep mm, beep beep yeh!

Day Tripper

Thursday, November 19th, 2009

Got a good reason for taking the easy way out,
Got a good reason for taking the easy way out – now,

She was a day tripper,
One way ticket, yeh,
It took me so long to find out, and I found out.

She’s a big teaser, she took me half the way there,
She’s a big teaser, she took me half the way there – now,

She was a day tripper,
One way ticket, yeh.
It took me so long to find out, and I found out.

Tried to please her, she only played one night stands,
Tried to please her, she only played one night stands – now,

She was a day tripper,
Sunday driver, yeh,
It took me so long to find out, and I found out.
Day tripper, yeh.

We Can Work It Out

Thursday, November 19th, 2009

Try to see it my way,
Do I have to keep on talking till I can’t go on?
While you see it your way,
Run the risk of knowing that our love may soon be gone.

We can work it out.
We can work it out.

Think of what you’re saying,
You can get it wrong and still you think that it’s alright,
Think of what I’m saying,

We can work it out and get it straight, or say good-night.
We can work it out. We can work it out.

Life is very short, and there’s no time,
For fussing and fighting, my friend,
I have always though that it’s a crime,
So I will ask you once again.

Try to see it my way,
Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong,
While you see your way,
There’s a chance that we may fall apart before too long.

You’ve Got to Hide Your Love Away

Thursday, November 19th, 2009

Here I stand with head in hand,
Turn my face to the wall.
If she’s gone I can’t go on,
Feeling two foot small.

Ev’rywhere people stare,
Each and ev’ry day.
I can see them laugh at me,
And I hear them say.

Hey, you’ve got to hide your love away.
Hey, you’ve got to hide your love away.

How can I even try,
I can never win,
Hearing them, seeing them,
In the state I’m in.

How could she say to me
Love will find a way?
Gather round all you clowns
Let me hear you say.

Hey, you’ve got to hide your love away.
Hey, you’ve got to hide your love away.

Help!

Thursday, November 19th, 2009

Help! I need somebody,
Help! Not just anybody,
Help! You know I need someone,
Help!

When I was younger, so much younger than today,
I never needed anybody’s help in any way,
But now these days are gone and I’m not so self assured,
Now I find I’ve changed my mind I’ve opened up the doors.

Help me if you can, I’m feeling down,
And I do appreciate you being around,
Help me get my feet back on the ground,
Won’t you please please help me?

And now my life has changed in oh so many ways,
My independence seems to vanish in the haze,
But ev’ry now and then I feel so insecure,
I know that I just need you like I’ve never done before.

Help me if you can, I’m feeling down,
And I do appreciate you being around,
Help me get my feet back on the ground,
Won’t you please please help me?

Help me. Help me. Ooh, ooh, ooh!

Yesterday

Thursday, November 19th, 2009

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they’re here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday

Suddenly, I’m not half the man I used to be
There’s a shadow hanging over me
oh, yesterday came suddenly

Why she had to go I don’t know, she wouldn’t say
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday

Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
oh, I believe in yesterday

Why she had to go I don’t know, she wouldn’t say
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday

Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
oh, I believe in yesterday, Mm

Ticket to Ride

Thursday, November 19th, 2009

I think I’m gonna be sad,
I think it’s today, yeh,
The girl that’s driving me mad,
Is going away.

She’s got a ticket to ride,
She’s got a ticket to ri – hi – hide,
She’s got a ticket to ride, but she don’t care.

She said that living with me,
Is bringing her down yeh,
For she would never be free when I was around.

She’s got a ticket to ride,
She’s got a ticket to ri – hi – hide,
She’s got a ticket to ride, but she don’t care.

I don’t know why she’s riding so high,
She ought to think twice,
She ought to do right by me.

I think I’m gonna be sad,
I think it’s today, yeh,
The girl that’s driving me mad,
Is going away.

She’s got a ticket to ride,
She’s got a ticket to ri – hi – hide,
She’s got a ticket to ride, but she don’t care.

I don’t know why she’s riding so high,
She ought to think twice,
She ought to do right by me.

Before she gets to saying goodbye,
She ought to think twice,
She ought to do right by me.

She said that living with me,
Is bringing her down yeh,
For she would never be free when I was around.

She’s got a ticket to ride,
She’s got a ticket to ri – hi – hide,
She’s got a ticket to ride, but she don’t care.
My baby don’t care, my baby don’t care.

I Feel Fine

Thursday, November 19th, 2009

Baby’s good to me, you know,
She’s happy as can be, you know,
She said so.
I’m in love with her and I feel fine.
Baby says she’s mine you know,
She tells me all the time you know,
She said so.
I’m in love with her and I feel fine.
I’m so glad that she’s my little girl,
She’s so glad she’s telling all the world,
That her baby buys her things you know,
He buys her diamond rings you know,
She said so.
She’s in love with me and I feel fine.
I’m so glad that she’s my little girl,
She’s so glad she’s telling all the world,
That her baby buys her things you know,
He buys her diamond rings you know,
She said so.
She’s in love with me and I feel fine.
