Ringo Starr And His All-Starr Band Album

Every time I see your face
It reminds me of the places we used to go
But all I've got is a photograph
And I realise you're not coming back anymore

I thought I'd make it the day you went away
But I can't make it 'til you come home again to stay

I can't get used to living here
While my heart is broke, my tears I cry for you
I want you here to have and hold
As the years go by, and we grow old and grey

Now you're expecting me to live without you
But that's not something that I'm looking forward to

I can't get used to living here
While my heart is broke, my tears I cry for you
I want you here to have and hold
As the years go by, and we grow old and grey

Every time I see your face
It reminds me of the places we used to go
But all I've got is a photograph
And I realise you're not coming back anymore
Every time I see your face
It reminds me of the places we used to go
All I've got is a photograph
And I realise you're not coming back anymore
Every time I see your face
It reminds me of the places we used to go
But all I've got is a photograph

ACT NATURALLY

THEY'RE GONNA PUT ME IN THE MOVIES.
THEY'RE GONNA MAKE A BIG STAR OUT OF ME.
WE'LL MAKE A FILM ABOUT A MAN THAT'S SAD AND LONELY
AND ALL I GOTTA DO IS ACT NATURALLY.

WELL, I BET YOU I'M GONNA BE A BIG STAR.
MIGHT WIN AN OSCAR. YOU CAN NEVER TELL.
THE MOVIE'S GONNA MAKE ME A BIG STAR,
'CAUSE I CAN PLAY THE PART SO WELL.

WELL, I HOPE YOU COME AND SEE ME IN THE MOVIES.
THEN I'LL KNOW THAT YOU WILL PLAINLY SEE
THE BIGGEST FOOL THAT EVER HIT THE BIG TIME
AND ALL I GOTTA DO IS ACT NATURALLY.

WE'LL MAKE THE SCENE ABOUT A MAN THAT'S SAD AND LONELY
AND BEGGING DOWN UPON HIS BENDIN' KNEE.
I'LL PLAY THE PART AND I WON'T NEED REHEARSING.
ALL I HAVE TO DO IS ACT NATURALLY.

WELL, I BET YOU I'M GONNA BE A BIG STAR.
MIGHT WIN AN OSCAR. YOU CAN NEVER TELL.
THE MOVIE'S GONNA MAKE ME A BIG STAR,
'CAUSE I CAN PLAY THE PART SO WELL.

WELL, I HOPE YOU COME AND SEE ME IN THE MOVIES.
THEN I'LL KNOW THAT YOU WILL PLAINLY SEE
THE BIGGEST FOOL THAT EVER HIT THE BIG TIME
AND ALL I GOTTA DO IS ACT NATURALLY.

Well, Billy rapped all night about his suicide
How he'd kick it in the head when he was 25
Speed jive, don't want to stay alive
When you're 25

And Wendy's stealing clothes from Marks and Sparks
And Freddy's got spots from ripping off the stars
From his face
Funky little boat race

Television man is crazy, saying we're juvenile delinquent wrecks
Oh, man, I need TV when I got T. Rex
Oh, brother
I'm a dude, man

All the young dudes (Hey, dudes)
Carry the news (Where are ya?)
Boogaloo dudes (Stand up, come on)
Carry the news

All the young dudes (I want to hear you)
Carry the news (I want to see you)
Boogaloo dudes (And I want to talk to you, all of you)
Carry the news

Lucy looks sweet 'cause he dresses like a queen
But he can kick like a mule, it's a real mean team
But we can love
Oh yes, we can love

And my brother's back at home with his Beatles and his Stones
We never got it off on that revolution stuff
What a drag
Too many snags

Now I've drunk a lot of wine and I'm feeling fine
Got to race some cat to bed
Oh, is there concrete all around or is it in my head?
Yeah, I'm a dude, man

All the young dudes (Hey, dudes)
Carry the news (Where are ya?)
Boogaloo dudes (Stand up)
Carry the news

All the young dudes (I want to hear ya)
Carry the news (I want to see you)
Boogaloo dudes (And I want to relate to you)
Carry the news

All the young dudes (What dudes?)
Carry the news (Let's hear the news, come on)
Boogaloo dudes (I want to kick you)
Carry the news

All the young dudes (Hey, you there, with the glasses)
Carry the news (I want you)
Boogaloo dudes (I want you at the front)
Carry the news (Now you, all his friends)

All the young dudes (Now you bring him down, 'cause I want him)
Carry the news
Boogaloo dudes (I want him right here, bring him, come on)
Carry the news (Bring him, ha ha, here you go)

All the young dudes (I've wanted to do this for years, ha ha ha)
Carry the news (There you go)
Boogaloo dudes (How do you feel?)
Carry the news

I WOKE UP FROM A BAD DREAM
TO THE HOWLING OF A LONELY NIGHT.
BUT THE WALLS COME CLOSING IN
LIKE THE VICTIM OF A ONE-WAY FIGHT.
I DON'T REMEMBER MANY YESTERDAYS,
I LEFT A LOT OF THINGS UNDONE,
NOW I'M BACK AND I'M HERE TO SAY
I'M LOOKING AFTER NUMBER ONE.

DON'T GO, DON'T GO WHERE THE ROAD DON'T GO,
DON'T GO, DON'T GO WHERE THE ROAD DON'T GO.

SEEING PEOPLE ON THE FREEWAY,
TAKES ME BACK TO WHERE I STARTED FROM.
I WAS RIDING ON THE BIG WHEEL,
I WAS WALKING IN A MIDNIGHT SUN.
WELL, I DID A LOT OF FAVOURS THEN,
I ASKED FOR NOTHING IN RETURN.
NOW THOSE FRIENDS HAVE ALL DISAPPEARED,
I GUESS THERE'S STILL SO MUCH TO LEARN.

DON'T GO, DON'T GO WHERE THE ROAD DON'T GO,
DON'T GO, DON'T GO WHERE THE ROAD DON'T GO.
DON'T GO, DON'T YOU GO WHERE THE ROAD DON'T GO.
'CAUSE YOU'LL NEVER RUN, YOU'LL NEVER OUTRUN THE GUN.

WELL, I SAID IT DON'T COME EASY.
WELL, I SURE KNOW HOW IT FEELS.

DON'T GO, DON'T GO WHERE THE ROAD DON'T GO,
DON'T GO, DON'T GO WHERE THE ROAD DON'T GO.

DON'T GO, DON'T GO WHERE THE ROAD DON'T GO,
DON'T GO, DON'T GO WHERE THE ROAD DON'T GO.
DON'T GO, DON'T YOU GO WHERE THE ROAD DON'T GO.
'CAUSE YOU'LL NEVER RUN, YOU'LL NEVER OUTRUN THE GUN.

DON'T GO, DON'T GO WHERE THE ROAD DON'T GO,
DON'T GO, DON'T GO WHERE THE ROAD DON'T GO.
DON'T GO, DON'T YOU GO WHERE THE ROAD DON'T GO.

You can look at the menu but you just can't eat
You can feel the cushions but you can't have a seat
You can dip your foot in the pool but you can't have a swim
You can feel the punishment but you can't commit the sin

And you want her
and she wants you
We want everyone
And you want her
and she wants you
No one, no one, no one ever is to blame

You can build a mansion but you just can't live in
You're the fastest runner but you're not allowed to win
Some break the rules
And live to count the cost
The insecurity is the thing that won't get lost

And you want her
and she wants you
We want everyone
And you want her
and she wants you
No one, no one, no one ever is to blame

You can see the summit but you can't reach it
It's the last piece of the puzzle but you just can't make it fit
Doctor says you're cured but you still feel the pain
Aspirations in the clouds but your hopes go down the drain

And you want her
and she wants you
We want everyone
And you want her
and she wants you
No one, no one, no one ever is to blame
No one ever is to blame
No one ever is to blame

By John Lennon and Paul McCartney
Recorded live at the Jazz Festival, Montreux

'Cause it's very simple, very easy, it's a place we all like to be and it goes like this

IN THE TOWN WHERE I WAS BORN, YES! YES!
LIVED A MAN WHO SAILED TO SEA.
AND HE TOLD US OF HIS LIFE
IN THE LAND OF SUBMARINES.
SO WE SAILED ON TO THE SUN,
TILL WE FOUND THE SEA OF GREEN,
AND WE PLAYED BENEATH THE WAVES,
IN OUR YELLOW SUBMARINE.

A SKY OF BLUE (sky of blue)
A SEA OF GREEN, (sea of green)
IN OUR YELLOW (in our yellow)
SUBMARINE. (submarine, ha! ha!)

"Come on, this time!

WE ALL LIVE IN A YELLOW SUBMARINE,

A YELLOW SUBMARINE, YEAH, A YELLOW SUBMARINE.
WE ALL LIVE IN A YELLOW SUBMARINE,
A YELLOW SUBMARINE, A YELLOW SUBMARINE.


Thank you! Merci beaucoup! Danke schön!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Well, that's it from us, we'll be off now. I'm only kidding
Okay, sit down, sit down, come on, you've had your fun.
I get so bossy when I get up here.
Okay, we've prompted up all of the show, this is like the solo spots in the show
where a couple of members are doing acoustic numbers for you while the rest of the band
go and cool off. Then we gradually build up again and then I'll return.
And this evening we're gonna start with the mighty Joe Walsh!

When I was young
It seemed that life was so wonderful
A miracle
Oh, it was beautiful, magical

And all the birds in the trees
Well, they'd be singing so happily
Oh, joyfully
Oh, playfully watching me

But then they sent me away
To teach me how to be sensible
Logical
Oh, responsible, practical

And then they showed me a world
Where I could be so dependable
Oh, clinical
Oh, intellectual, cynical

There are times when all the world's asleep
The questions run too deep
For such a simple man
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned?
I know it sounds absurd
Please tell me who I am

I say, now watch what you say
Or they'll be calling you a radical
A liberal
Oh, fanatical, criminal

Oh, won't you sign up your name?
We'd like to feel you're acceptable
Respectable
Oh, presentable, a vegetable
Whoa, take it, take it, take it, yeah

But at night when all the world's asleep
The questions run so deep
For such a simple man
Won't you please,
(Won't you tell me, won't you tell me what we've learned?)
please tell me what we've learned?
(Can you hear me, I know it sounds absurd)
I know it sounds absurd
(Won't you help me, tell me who I am)
But please tell me who I am
Who I am
Who I am
Who I am, yeah

Ooh
Hey
'Cause, I'm feeling so logical
Hey
D-d-d-d-d-d-d-digital
Yeah, one, two, three, five
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah
Ooh, it's getting unbelievable
Yeah
Ooh

She wears a long fur coat of mink
Even in the summer time
Everybody knows from the coy little wink
The girl's got a lot on her mind

She's got big thoughts, big dreams
And a big brown Mercedes sedan
What I think this girl,
She really wants is to be in love with a man

CHORUS
She wants to lead the Glamorous Life
She don't need a man's touch
She wants to lead the Glamorous Life
But without love it ain't much

She saw him standing in the section marked
If you have to ask you can't afford it lingerie
She threw him bread and said make me scream
In the dark what could he say


Boys with small talk and small minds
Really don't impress me in bed
She said I need a man's man baby
Diamonds and furs
Love would only conquer my head

repeat CHORUS

They made haste in the brown sedan
They drove to 55 Secret street
They made love and by the seventh wave
She knew she had a problem
She thought real love is real scary
Money only pays the rent
Love is forever that's all your life
Love is heaven sent it's glamorous

repeat CHORUS

By John Lennon and Paul McCartney
Recorded live at the Budokan, Tokyo, Japan

"Thank you!"
"I'd like to thank you for coming to see us tonight. Thanks for coming to see us
Peace and love, peace and love.
If you don't come we're up, we're up here on our own which would be pretty dull.
Okay, like to do a...I keep saying I like to do, I like to do, I like to do...ha ha ha...
As if I was going to do something else!
Okay, and it's called It Don't Come Easy"

Give a little bit
Give a little bit of your love to me
I'll give a little bit
I'll give a little bit of my love to you
There's so much that we need to share
So send a smile and show you care

I'll give a little bit
I'll give a little bit of my life for you
So give a little bit
Give a little bit of your time to me
See the man with the lonely eyes
Oh take his hand, you'll be surprised

(Oh take it)

Give a little bit
Give a little bit of your love to me
Give a little bit
I'll give a little bit of my life for you
Now's the time that we need to share
So find yourself, we're on our way back home

Going home
Don't you need, don't you need to feel at home?
Oh yeah, we gotta see

Ooh, yeah gotta get a feeling
Ooh, yeah come along too

Come-a come-a come-a come along

Ooh, yeah come along too

Come along too
What a long night
Come a long way
Ooh, yeah sing it tonight

So you think you're a Romeo
Playing a part in a picture show
Take the long way home
Take the long way home

'Cause you're the joke of the neighborhood
Why should you care if you're feeling good?
Take the long way home
Take the long way home

But there are times that you feel you're part of the scenery
All the greenery is comin' down, boy
And then your wife seems to think you're part of the furniture
Oh, it's peculiar, she used to be so nice

When lonely days turn to lonely nights
You take a trip to the city lights
And take the long way home
Take the long way home

You never see what you want to see
Forever playing to the gallery
You take the long way home
Take the long way home

And when you're up on the stage, it's so unbelievable
Oh, unforgettable, how they adore you
But then your wife seems to think you're losing your sanity
Oh, calamity, is there no way out?
Oh, yeah

Ooh

Ooh, yeah

Does it feel that your life's become a catastrophe?
Oh, it has to be for you to grow, boy
When you look through the years and see what you could have been
Oh, what you might have been if you'd have had more time

So when the day comes to settle down
Who's to blame if you're not around?
You took the long way home
You took the long way home
You took the long way home (Ooh, yeah, yeah)
You took the long way home
You took the long way home (Oh, yeah)
You took the long way home
You took the long way home (Ooh, yeah)
You took the long way home

Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Long way home
Long way home

[No lyrics]

He had white horses
And ladies by the score
All dressed in satin
And waiting by the door

Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was

White lace and feathers
They made up his bed
A gold covered mattress
On which he was led

Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was

He went to fight wars
For his country and his king
Of his honor and his glory
The people would sing

Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was

A bullet had found him
His blood ran as he cried
No money could save him
So he laid down and he died

Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was

By John Lennon and Paul McCartney
Recorded live at the Jazz Festival, Montreux
