1.Beware Of Darkness

By george harrison

Watch out now...take care, beware of fallen singers
Dropping all around you. the pain that often mingles
In your fingertips - beware of darkness.
Watch out, now, take care and beware of thoughts that
Linger...winding up inside youre head.
The hopelessness around you in the dead of night...
Beware of darkness.
It can hit you. it can hurt you. make you sore and
What is more, that is not what you are here for.
Watch out, now...take care and beware of softshoe
Shufflers, dancing down the sideboards. as each
Unconscious sufferer wanders aimlessly,
Beware of darkness.
Watch out, now, take care and beware of
Greedy leaders, they take you where you should not go.
While weeping at the cedars, they just won't grow...
Beware of darkness.


2.Can Make Me Cry

Lots of guys can make me laugh
And show me some good time
Treat me nice and want me by their side
Lots of people call themselves my friends
And that's all right
But you're the only one i let inside

You're the only one who leaves me warm and satisfied
You're the only one who takes me wrong and makes me right
Oh and if you took your love away
You'd leave me high and dry
Cause baby, you're the only one can make me cry

Lots of people talking at me
Tell me what is right
And lately i just don't know what to do
Ah, the only thing that matters is
If you're with me at night
Everything's all right when i'm with you

You're the only one who leaves me warm and satisfied
You're the only one who takes me wrong and makes me right
Oh and if you took your love away
You'd leave me high and dry
Baby, you're the only one can make me cry


3.Cold Part Of Town

Dear darling,
Haven't seen you in a while
Found some change in my pocket
Thought i'd take a chance and dial
I'm all right
Just right now a little down.
It gets chilly over here.
It's a cold part of town.

Dear darling,
You were right about them all
When it all came down,
They never came around or called.
That's all right
I don't miss them anyhow,
But it gets lonely over here
It's a cold part of town

I'll go now.
Someone's waiting for the phone
It's raining
Getting dark and i'm alone
Yeah, i'll call you.
Can i sometime cometime come around
It's so lonely over here
It's a cold, cold part of town.


4.Dance Along The Edge

Sometimes we laugh like children
Go running holding hands
I never felt like this before,
I never will again
Sometimes we cry like babies
I hold you to my heart.
I just can't stand to see you sad,
It tears me all apart

And we're so afraid and it's such a shame,
There is no reason we should doube it.
The things we want to say we'ver never said!
And we look away and it's all ok and
Never really talk about it
It's a shame the way we dance along the edge
Dance along the edge.

We always seem so careful,
We're always so unsure.
Our past mistakes they make us shakey...eyes on the door.
When do we stop searching
For what we're searching for?
Then when it comes, we question love and try for more!

And we're happy here, but we live in fear
We've seen a lot of temples crumble.
Some of flesh and blood from love under glass.
Will we come undone? will we turn and run?
And will we know it when we find it?
It's a game the way we dance along the edge.
And we'll walk the line and we'll do our time
For just as long as we've been given,
And pretend that we don't hear the things they've said.
Can we promise love? is it all too much
And do our old souls still believe it?
It's insane the way we dance along the edge.


5.Little Sister

Little sister

Mama's nest is empty, all the babies grown and gone
And you're talking. i can hear me, you should hear you.
Look into a youger face that used to be my own
Years apart they make it harder to be near you.
Little sister
Little sister
All the times you couldn't tell her how you miss her.
But i'm only half a heart away.
Over all the time and distance i am where you are.
And i love you. above all we're flesh and blood.
Little sister
Little sister
All along the way the road gets turned and twisted
And it hurts some, yeah you know it hurts some
Trying to find your way home.


6.Over Your Shoulder

I watch you eat
I watch you sleep
I see you in between your sheets
Oh! no. there i am.
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
Whatever you say, i'm watching you.
Oh! no. there i am.
Over your shoulder
Over your shoulder
Over your shoulder
Oh! no. there i am again.
My eyes, when you see,
My ears, when you hear
You can't get away from the face in the mirror.
No, no, no, no, no -
There i am.
Wherever you go
However you do it,
Baby, i'm the only one true to you
There i am.
Over your shoulder
Over your shoulder
Over your shoulder
Everything we did,
Everything we said,
If ever you're with another
I'll be in your bed
Oh! no. there i am.
Trying to forget my face and my name
As hard as you can.
It won't be the same at all.
Over your shoulder...


7.Song For Kim

Oh kim
Your diary said -
The voices calling you from the edge.
They finally called you away -
You know i hear them too,
They're telling me to stay.

Oh kim
Remember when
We made a million plans and we believed them.
Angry words ring in my head
I'd give every song i got in me
To get it back again.

She said, i could
She said hold on, hold out
Cause it's good.
She said it's right.
She said hold on, hold out
Cause i know that you can fight.
I know you can
You're right again.
There is an easy way
Out of this world.
I'm staying.
I wonder why?
It may be all i have,
But it's mine, it's mine.


8.Still In Hollywood

I was walking down the street early this morning
Past the graveyard, voices whisper to me.
I was walking down the street, early this morning
And the silver tears of rain hung from the leaves
And i swear i heard the voices singing to me...
Singing to the rhythm of the beat of my feet,
I swear i heard the voices singing to me -
Keep on, keep on, keep on.

Still in hollywood!
Oh wow! thought i'd be out of here by now.
Still in hollywood!
My, my i'm running on a wheel and i don't know why
I don't know why.

And on the bus today, i met the queen of l.a. -
At least she said she was and who am i to say?
She was sixty-five and full of life,
She had purple-painted cheeks
And glitter on her eyes
And the troll on the corner, i flipped him a quarter
And he looked at me and smiled.
He wasn't abused, he wasn't confused,
He had nothing to gain and less to lose in hollywood

Oh wow! thought i'd be out of here by now.
Still in hollywood!
My, my i'm running like a rat and i don't know why

And so it's three a.m., i'm out walking again.
I'm just a spot on the sidewalk in a city of sin.
He doesn't give a fuck, he's living under a truck.
You know it coulda been me, guess it's just my luck.
But i swear i hear the voices singing to me -
Keep on, keep on, keep on.

Still in hollywood...


9.True

Well when i've had enough
I'll get a pick-up truck and i'll drive away,
I'll take my last ten bucks just as far as it will go.

Well sometimes i'm easily fooled,
Take a painful step and i get knocked back two.
I do all i can and it's all i can do to be true.

And if i had the choice i'd take the voice i got
Cause it was hard to find.
You know i've come too far to wind up right back where i
started.
And they tell me who i should be,
I'll never let those monkeys make a mess of me.
I am who i am and it's all i can do,
But i'm true.

One more sunrise
Open my eyes up - true
One more sunset
Lay my head down - true

They talk you up and then they talk you down
And you begin to doubt.
Sometimes the reasons seem so very far away.
But i'd stop breathing today,
Cause if i can't walk proud, i'd rather walk away.
I do all i am and it's all i can do,
But i'm true.

I'd give all i am and i'd give it to you.


10.Your Haunted Head

The blackest eyes i've ever seen like moonstones shine
And all the while behind the dancing eyes the boy crying.
He creeps like ivy on the stairs, you know i liked him then
When we would sit and drink for hours and watch the sidewalk
spin.
No no no.

I don't wanna hear your secrets.
I don't share your pain.
I don't wanna know about the wrinkles in your bed
And i don't wanna know about the ghost inside your haunted head,
Inside your haunted head.

I don't need your tragedy and i won't share the blame
You can't keep your promises, you just keep naming names
He laid his troubles out to me like a deck of playing cards,
Well don't you know that i can tell the kings and jokers well
apart.
No no no.
