You don't look different, but you have changed

[rightfromthestart]

I'm looking through you, where did you go?

I thought I knew you, what did I know?

You don't look different, but you have changed

I'm looking through you, you're not the same

Your lips are moving, I cannot hear

Your voice is soothing, but the words aren't clear

You don't sound differnt, I've learned the game

I'm looking through you, you're not the same

Love has a nasty habit of disappearing overnight

You're thinking of me, the same old way

You were above me, but not today

The only difference is you're down there

I'm looking through you, any other way

Yeah!, Well, baby you've changed, ah, I'm looking through you

There are places I'll remember all my li--ife though some have changed,

Some forever not for better, some have go--one and some remain.

All these places had their moments, with lovers and friends I still can recall,

Some are dead and some are living, in my life I've loved them all.

But of all these friends and lovers, these memories lose their meaning,

when I think of love as something new

Though I know I'll never lose affection for people and things that went before,

I know I'll often stop and think about them, in my life I'll love again

Though I know I'll never lose affection for people and things that went before,

I know I'll often stop and think about them, in my life I'll love again.

In my life I'll love more.

[yeawutever]

I love it, kool!!!!

[Anna.]

Somebody likes The Beates, eh?

 

Me too.

[Ipso Fracto Man]

Haha--I've loved it for decades. It's the Beatles' "I'm Looking Through You" and an odd rendition of "In My Life".

[Ms. Babydoll]

nice poem, lovely words, well done

[eleanorrigby1]

Those are two of my favourite songs.

 

He wrote Im looking through you about Jane just before he left he for Linda.

[rightfromthestart]

Two of us riding nowhere

Spending someone's hard earned pay.

You and me Sunday driving, not arriving

On our way back home

We're on our way home

We're on our way home

We're going home.

 

Two of us sending postcards

Writing letters on my wall

You and me burning matches, lifting latches

On our way back home

We're on our way home

We're on our way home

 

We're going home.

 

You and I have memories

Longer than the road that stretches out ahead

 

Two of us wearing raincoats

Standing solo in the sun.

You and me chasing paper, getting nowhere

On our way back home

Cadd9 G G/D Cadd9 D

We're on our way home

 

Here I stand head in hand, turn my face to the wall

G D F G C F C D

If she's gone I can't go on, feeling two foot small

G D F G C F C

Everywhere people stare each and every way

G D F G C F C D

I can see them laugh at me and I hear them say ay ay

 

G C Dsus D D6 D

Hey you got to hide your love away

Hey you got to hide your love away

 

G D F G C F C

How can I even try, I can never win

G D F G C F C D

Hearing them seeing them in the state I'm in

G D F G C F C

How could she say to me love will find away

G D F G C F C D

Gather round all you clown, let me hear you say ay ay

 

G C Dsus D D6 D

Hey you got to hide your love away

Hey you got to hide your love away

[Ipso Fracto Man]

This thread is really growing on me! "Two of Us" (an alt take) is on my perm playlist, and the Help! album is one of my earliest happy memories.

 

Hope ya don't mind I add a pair of personal favorites:

 

One, two, three, four

Can I have a little more?

Five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten... I love you.

 

A, B, C, D

Can I bring my friend to tea?

E, F, G, H, I, J... I love you.

 

Bump bump bump bump bubump

Sail the ship

Bump bubump

Chop the tree

Bump bubump

Skip the rope

Bump bubump

Look at me

 

All together now....

 

Black, white, green, red

Can I take my friend to bed?

Pink, brown, yellow, orange and blue... I love you.

 

All together now....

 

Bump bump bump bump bubump

Sail the ship

Bump bubump

Chop the tree

Bump bubump

Skip the rope

Bump bubump

Look at me

 

All together now....

 

 

When I look into your eyes, your love is there for me

And the more I go inside, the more there is to see

 

It's all too much for me to take

The love that's shining all around you

Everywhere, it's what you make

For us to take, it's all too much

 

Floating down the stream of time, of life to life with me

Makes no difference where you are, or where you'd like to be

 

It's all too much for me to take

The love that's shining all around here

All the world's a birthday cake

So take a piece but not too much

 

Sail me on a silver sun, for I know that I'm free

Show me that I'm everywhere, and get me home for tea

 

It's all too much for me to see

A love that's shining all around here

The more I am, the less I know

And what I do is all too much

 

It's all too much for me to take

The love that's shining all around you

Everywhere, it's what you make

For us to take, it's all too much

 

It's too much.....It's too much

[rightfromthestart]

Once there was a way to get back homeward

Once there was a way to get back home

Sleep pretty darling do not cry

And I will sing a lullabye

 

Golden slumbers fill your eyes

Smiles awake you when you rise

Sleep pretty darling do not cry

And I will sing a lullabye

 

Once there was a way to get back homeward

Once there was a way to get back home

Sleep pretty darling do not cry

And I will sing a lullabye

 

I give her all my love, that's all I do, and if you saw my love,

you'd love her too, I love her.

 

She gives me ev'rything, and tenderly, the kiss my lover brings,

she brings to me, and I love her

 

A love like ours, could never die, as long as I, have you near me.

 

Bright are the stars that shine, dark is the sky,

I know this love of mine, will never die, and I love her.

 

Bright are the stars that shine, dark is the sky,

I know this love of mine, will never die, and I love her.

[Anna.]

Well, I wanna join in!

 

Now somewhere in the black mountian hills of Dakota

there lived a young boy named Rocky Raccoon

and one day his woman ran off with another guy

Hit young Rocky in the eye Rocky didn't like that

He said, "I'm gonna get that boy."

So one day he walked into town

booked himself a room in the local saloon

Rocky Raccoon checked into his room

Only to find Gideon's bible

Rocky had come equipped with a gun

To shoot off the legs of his rival

His rival it seems had broken his dreams

By stealing the girl of his fancy.

Her name was Magil and she called herself Lil

But everyone knew her as Nancy.

Now she and her man who called himself Dan

Were in the next room at the hoe down

Rocky burst in and grinning a grin

He said Danny boy this is a showdown

But Daniel was hot-he drew fast and shot

And Rocky collapsed in the corner.

Now the doctor came in stinking of gin

And proceeded to lie on the table

He said Rocky you met your match

And Rocky said, Doc it's only a scratch

And I'll be better I'll be better doc as soon as I am able.

Now Rocky Raccoon he fell back in his room

Only to find Gideon's bible

Gideon checked out and he left it no doubt

To help with good Rocky's revival!

I love this thread!!! ha ha ha ha

 

You say you will love me if I have to go,

You'll be thinking of me, somehow I will know,

Someday when I'm lonely, wishing you weren't so far away,

Then I will remember things we said today.

You say you will be mine, girl, till the end of time,

These days such a kind girl seems so hard to find,

Someday when we're dreaming, deep in love,

Not a lot to say,

Then I will remember things we said today.

Me I'm just the lucky kind,

Love to hear you say that love is love,

And though we may be blind,

Love is hear to stay.

And that's enough to make you mine girl,

Be the only one,

Love me all the time girl, we'll go on and on,

Someday when we're dreaming, deep in love,

Not a lot to say,

Then I will remember things we said today.

Me I'm just a lucky kind,

Love to hear you say that love is love,

And though we may be blind,

Love is hear to stay.

And that's enough to make you mine girl,

Be the only one,

Love me all the time girl, we'll go on and on,

Someday when we're dreaming, deep in love,

Not a lot to say,

Then I will remember things we said today.

Hey, Jude, don't make it bad

Take a sad song and make it better

Remember to let her into your heart

Then you can start to make it better

 

Hey, Jude, don't be afraid

You were made to go out and get her

The minute you let her under your skin

Then you begin to make it better.

 

And any time you feel the pain, hey, Jude, refrain

Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

Well don't you know that its a fool who plays it cool

By making his world a little colder

 

Hey, Jude! Don't let her down

You have found her, now go and get her

Remember, to let her into your heart

Then you can start to make it better.

 

So let it out and let it in, hey, Jude, begin

You're waiting for someone to perform with

And don't you know that it's just you, hey, Jude,

You'll do, the movement you need is on your shoulder

 

Hey, Jude, don't make it bad

Take a sad song and make it better

Remember to let her into your heart

Then you can start to make it better

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.

The long and winding road that leads to your door,

Will never disappear, I've seen that road before

It always leads me here, leads me to your door.

The wild and windy night that the rain washed away,

Has left a pool of tears crying for the day.

Why leave me standing here, let me know the way.

Many times I've been alone and many times I've cried,

Anyway you'll never know the many ways I've tried, but

Still they lead me back to the long and winding road,

You left me standing here a long, long time ago.

Don't leave me waiting here, lead me to your door.

Da da, da da –

What would you do if I sang out of tune,

Would you stand up and walk out on me.

Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song,

And I'll try not to sing out of key.

I get by with a little help from my friends,

I get high with a little help from my friends,

I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends.

What do I do when my love is away.

(Does it worry you to be alone)

How do I feel by the end of the day

(Are you sad because you're on your own)

No I get by with a little help from my friends,

I get high with a little help from my friends,

Oh, I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends.

Do you need anybody,

I need somebody to love.

Could it be anybody

I want somebody to love.

Would you believe in love at first sight,

Yes I'm certain that it happens all the time.

What do you see hen you turn out the light,

I can't tell you, but I know it's mine.

Oh I get by with alittle help from my friends.

I get high with a little help from my friends,

Oh I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends.

Do you need anybody,

I just need somebody to love,

Could it be anybody,

I want somebody to love.

Oh I get by with a little help from my friends,

Mm I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends,

Oh I get high with a little help from my friends,

Yes I get by with a little help from my friends.

[Daddy Bear]

this is like potato chips... i can't stop!

 

ER: there's a great live version of "Things We Said Today" (H'wood Bowl? Shea?) where the lyrics get flubbed at one point. You've heard it?

 

ok, couple o' quickies:

 

Her Majesty's a pretty nice girl

but she hasn't got a lot to say

Her Majesty's a pretty nice girl

but she changes from day to day

I want to tell her that I love her a lot

But I gotta get a bellyful of wine

Her Majesty's a pretty nice girl

Someday I'm going to make her mine

oh yeh

someday I'm going to make her mine.

and in the end

the love you take

is equal to the love you make.

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away

Now it look 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

[Daddy Bear]

i said, "Inner Groove"!

[Anna.]

What's Sgt. Pepper's Inner Groove??

 

Nobody ever loved me like she does,

Oo, she does, yeh, she does.

And if somebody loved me like she do me,

Oo, she do me, yes, she does.

 

Don't let me down, don't let me down.

Don't let me down, don't let me down.

 

I'm in love for the first time.

Don't you know it's gonna last.

It's a love that lasts forever,

It's a love that has no past.

 

Don't let me down, don't let me down.

Don't let me down, don't let me down.

 

And from the first time that she really done me,

Oo, she done me, she done me good.

I guess nobody ever really done me,

Oo, she done me, she done me good.

 

Don't let me down, don't let me down.

Don't let me down, don't let me down

[Daddy Bear]

What's Sgt. Pepper's Inner Groove??

three or four seconds of gibberish found on the very innermost groove (hence the name) of the original version of the album. it was designed to play over and over (since the middle groove of an LP loops around to itself) and must have freaked out a lot of acidheads.

 

the track can also be found on various 'rarities' compilations.
