The Beatles - Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite

The Beatles - Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite

For the benefit of Mr. Kite
There will be a show tonight on trampoline
The Hendersons will all be there
Late of Pablo-Fanques Fair, what a scene

Over men and horses hoops and garters
Lastly through a hogshead of real fire!
In this way Mr. K. will challenge the world!

The celebrated Mr. K.
Performs his feat on Saturday at Bishopsgate
The Hendersons will dance and sing
As Mr. Kite flies through the ring don't be late

Messrs. K and H. assure the public
Their production will be second to none
And of course Henry The Horse dances the waltz!

The band begins at ten to six
When Mr. K. performs his tricks without a sound
And Mr. H. will demonstrate
Ten somersets he'll undertake on solid ground

'ving been some days in preparation
A splendid time is guaranteed for all
And tonight Mr. Kite is topping the bill.

The Beatles - Happiness Is a Warm Gun



She's not a girl who misses much
Do do do do do do- oh yeah!
She's well acquainted with the touch of the velvet hand
Like a lizard on a window pane

The man in the crowd with the multicoloured mirrors
On his hobnail boots
Lying with his eyes while his hands are busy
Working overtime
A soap impression of his wife which he ate
And donated to the National Trust

I need a fix 'cause I'm going down
Down to the bits that I left uptown
I need a fix cause I'm going down
Mother Superior jumped the gun
Mother Superior jumped the gun
Mother Superior jumped the gun
Mother Superior jumped the gun

Happiness is a warm gun
Happiness is a warm gun, momma
When I hold you in my arms
And I feel my finger on your trigger
I know nobody can do me no harm
Because happiness is a warm gun, momma
Happiness is a warm gun
-Yes it is.
Happiness is a warm, yes it is
Gun!
Well don't ya know that happiness is a warm gun, momma?

The Beatles - Here, There and Everywhere



To lead a better life I need my love to be here..

Here, making each day of the year
Changing my life with a wave of her hand
Nobody can deny that there's something there

There, running my hands through her hair
Both of us thinking how good it can be
Someone is speaking but she doesn't know he's there

I want her everywhere and if she's beside me
I know I need never care
But to love her is to need her everywhere
Knowing that love is to share

Each one believing that love never dies
Watching her eyes and hoping I'm always there

I want her everywhere and if she's beside me
I know I need never care
But to love her is to need her everywhere
Knowing that love is to share

Each one believing that love never dies
Watching her eyes and hoping I'm always there

To be there and everywhere
Here, there and everywhere

The Beach Boys - God Only Knows



I may not always love you
But long as there are stars above you
You never need to doubt it
I'll make you so sure about it
God only knows what I'd be without you

If you should ever leave me
Though life would still go on, believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would livin' do me
God only knows what I'd be without you

God only knows what I'd be without you

If you should ever leave me
Though life would still go on, believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would livin' do me

God only knows what I'd be without you

The Beatles - Across the Universe

The Beatles - Across the Universe.mp3
Rufus Wainwright - Across the Universe.mp3
Fiona Apple - Across the Universe.mp3

words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup,
they slither while they pass, they slip away across the universe
pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my open mind,
possessing and caressing me.
jai guru de va om
nothing's gonna change my world,
nothing's gonna change my world.
nothing's gonna change my world
nothing's gonna change my world.

images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes,
that call me on and on across the universe,
thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box they
tumble blindly as they make their way
across the universe
jai guru de va om
nothing's gonna change my world,
nothing's gonna change my world.
nothing's gonna change my world.
nothing's gonna change my world.

sounds of laughter shades of earth are ringing
through my open ears inciting and inviting me
limitless undying love which shines around me like a
million suns, it calls me on and on
across the universe
jai guru de va om
nothing's gonna change my world,
nothing's gonna change my world.
nothing's gonna change my world.
nothing's gonna change my world.
jai guru de va, jai guru de va
jai guru de va, jai guru de va
jai guru de va.

The Byrds - Here Without You

Here Without You.mp3

Daytime just makes me feel lonely
At night I can only dream about you
Girl you're on my mind
Nearly all of the time
It's so hard being here without you.
Words in my head keep repeating
Things that you said when I was with you.
And I wonder is it true
Do you feel the same way too
Its so hard being here without you
Being here without you
Oh I know this wont last
I'll see you someday
It seems as though that day will come never
But theres one thing Ill swear
Though youre far away
I'll be thinking about you forever
Streets that I walk on depress me
Ones that were happy when I was with you
Still with all the friends I know
And with all the things I do
It's so hard being here without you
Being here without you.
