Eye To Eye (Richard Starkey/Mark Hudson/Steve Dudas/Dean Grakal)
Remember when I said it don’t come easy
That seems so long ago
Well nothing’s changed, and if you don’t believe me
Look out your window
 
I wonder why we gotta try
To see eye to eye to eye
What’s mine is yours
What’s yours is mine
When we see eye to eye to eye
 
The world is spinning and our lives go faster
It’s getting out of control
So don’t lose sight of what we’re going after
It’s in your heart and soul
 
We’ll never lose
Why don’t we choose
To see eye to eye to eye
If we begin
We all can win
When we see eye to eye to eye
 
Let’s fill the world with joy and laughter
Do it now, there may be no after
Peace and love and harmony
Now tell me how hard can it be
It’s easy, it s easy
 
Remember when I said it don’t come easy
That seems so long ago
 
I wonder why
It’s hard to try
To see eye to eye to eye
What’s mine is yours
What’s yours is mine
If we see eye to eye to eye
 
We never lose
Why don’t we choose
 
We all can win
When we begin
 
Eye to eye to eye
Eye to eye to eye
Missouri Loves Company (Richard Starkey/Mark Hudson/Steve Dudas/Dean Grakal)
Is it a sin
To live without
To look within?
I didn’t know
Which way to turn
He had to go
And so I’ve learned
And now forever and a day
I will wait
In that Show-Me-State
Yes, Virginia
There’s a world to see
But without you
Where can it be?
I’m goin’ to Kansas City
But that’s just me
On a Greyhound bus
From Tennessee
No need to worry
I ain’t in no hurry
Missouri loves company
Down a country lane
I leave behind
A little pain
And as I cross
The country line
And every state
In my mind
I’ve got nothin’ to lose
Like St. Louis
I’ve got the blues
 
Yes, Virginia
There’s a world to see
But without you
Where can it be?
I’m goin’ to Kansas City
But that’s just me
On a Greyhound bus
From Tennessee
No need to worry
I ain’t in no hurry
Missouri loves company
Minneapolis through Saint Paul
The pain’s the same and that ain’t all
I’m headin north where my lover calls
I’m not goin down like Niagara Falls
I’ve got to do
What’s best for me
That’s finding you
I’ll travel on
Near or far
‘Til I find
The place you are
Yes, Virginia
There’s a world to see
But without you
Where can it be?
I’m goin’ to Kansas City
But that’s just me
All the way from
Graceland Tennessee
There’s no need to worry
I ain’t in no hurry
Missouri loves company
Instant Amnesia (Richard Starkey/Mark Hudson/Gary Burr/Steve Dudas/Dean Grakal)
Instant Amnesia
Makes you forget
Your worries
Your troubles
Forgives you your debt
Instant Amnesia
It’s already gone
You think you remember
Tomorrow you’re wrong
Let it go
Let it go
Instant Amnesia
It s just like a kiss
You can’t close your eyes
It’s too easy to miss
Instant Amnesia
You can’t take no pill
There’s no medicine
So it must be God’s will
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
Is this in my mind?
In your mind
Is this in my mind?
In your mind
Mind
It’s like instant karma
You’ve been there before
Do you hear the doctor?
He’s knockin’ at your door
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
Memphis In Your Mind (Richard Starkey/Mark Hudson/Gary Burr/Steve Dudas/Dean Grakal)
A cat has nine lives, but man you don’t live twice
You can play for a price, bring your friend and his dice
If you wanna be the King, you gotta go to Memphis in your mind
It’s a bad point of view, if Pat Boone got through to you I kissed Peggy Sue, and you could have too
Ain’t that a shame, you never went to Memphis in your mind
There’s no place cooler, when you got your bop-a-lu-la on
Slip into your blue suede shoes, we’re dancin’ ’til the break of dawn
Sun Records will be playin’, you’ll know every word they’re sayin’s true
Heartbreak Hotel is taking reservations, there’s a room for you
You can go to any town, get up but not get down
If you wanna hear that rockin’ sound, then go to Memphis in your mind
There’s no place cooler, when you got your bop-a-lu-la on
Slip into your blue suede shoes, we’re dancin’ ’til the break of dawn
Sun Records will be playin’, you’ll know every word they’re sayin’s true
Heartbreak Hotel is taking reservations, there’s a room for you
You can have two left feet, and you can still keep the beat
If you’re 16 and sweet, or you can’t leave your seat
If you wanna be the King, you gotta go to Memphis in your mind
We can all be King
So go to Memphis in your mind
Never Without You (Richard Starkey/Mark Hudson/Gary Nicholson)
We were young
It was fun
And we couldn’t lose
Times were right
Overnight
We were headline news
Crazy days and reckless nights
Limousines and bright spotlights
We were brothers through it all
And your song will play on
Without you
And this world
Won’t forget
About you
Every part of you
Was in your song
Now we will carry on
Never without you
Within you, without you
“Here Comes the Sun” is about you
Here today
Not alone
With my memories
With my memories
Life is strange
How things change
It’s reality
You played a beautiful melody
That keeps on haunting me
I can always feel you
By my side
And your song will play on
Without you
And this world
Won’t forget
About you
Every part of you
Was in your song
Now we will carry on
Never without you
Within you, without you
«Here Comes the Sun» is about you
I know all things must pass
And only love will last
I’ll always love the memories
Of you and me
And your song will play on
Without you
And this world
Won’t forget
About you
About you
Every part of you
Was in your song
Now we will carry on
Never without you
Within you, without you
We’re never without you
Within you, without you
We’re never without you
We’re never without you
Within you, without you
I think love is about you
Imagine Me There (Richard Starkey/Mark Hudson/Gary Burr)
When the curtains move
In breezes unexpected
Don’t you worry,
You will always be protected
Imagine me there
When you see the dancing shadows
In the moonlight
You will always have my love
To make it alright
Imagine me there
Let the dawn break
Without heartache
All our lives
Imagine
Never lonely
Dream and I’ll be
By your side
Imagine
Trust in love and love is everywhere
Imagine me there
When the next room
Feels as far away as China
You can always know, for sure,
My love will find you
Imagine me there
Let the dawn break
Without heartache
All our lives
Imagine
Never lonely
Dream and I’ll be
By your side
Imagine
Trust in love and love is everywhere
Imagine me there
Sometimes life can be
A fragile occupation
When I find myself in frantic situations
I imagine you there
So imagine me there
 
Imagine me there
I Think Therefore I Rock N Roll (Richard Starkey/Mark Hudson/Dean Grakal/Paul Santo)
A happy man I did encounter
Said to thyself be true
One and one is only one
Until you become one with you
Everywhere you look is lovely
If love is what you choose to see
Nothing’s hard as you can make it
It’s as easy as 1,2,3
Here’s my philosophy
And he said
To be or not to be
I don’t care
The question is,
Are you alive out there?
It don’t take brains,
Just heart and soul
I think, therefore
I rock-and-roll
I met the most amazing woman
She means all the world to me
In her eyes I saw our future
She opened my mind to see
She’s my serenity
And she said
To be or not to be
I don’t care
The question is,
Are you alive out there?
It don’t take brains,
Just heart and soul
I think, therefore
I rock-and-roll
Somewhere, sometime
Just look inside
You are the life-line
Somehow, time flies
It feels so good
To cry, baby cry
It’s as easy as 1,2,3
That’s my philosophy
And I said:
To be or not to be
I don’t care
The question is,
Are you alive out there?
It don’t take brains,
Just heart and soul
I think, therefore
I rock-and-roll
To be or not to be
I don’t care
The question is,
Are you alive out there?
It don’t take brains,
Just heart and soul
I think, therefore
I rock-and-roll
Trippin’ On My Own Tears (Richard Starkey/Mark Hudson/Gary Burr/Dean Grakal)
We were once upon a time
Then your love disappeared
You can’t help crying
When you love something so dear
There’s a mile of heartache that I had to cross
Face down longing for the love I lost
I can’t help wonderin’
How I ended up here
So I cried so hard
I was trippin’ on my own tears
What was so confusing
Is now becoming so clear
She tried to tell me
What I never wanted to hear
It don’t matter if the sun does shine
It’s always clouded now that you’re not mine
For one foolish moment,
Won’t you forgive me dear
So I cried so hard
I was trippin’ on my own tears
Why you can’t see that I’m dying?
I’m not a saint, but God I’m trying, trying
It don’t matter
If you’re wrong or right
When you’re walking the floors
And you’re up all night
I’ll wait for you
If it takes a million years
Well I cried so hard
I was trippin’ on my own tears
Yes I cried so hard
I was trippin’ on my own tears
Write One For Me (Richard Starkey/Mark Hudson/Gary Burr)
A young man strumming his guitar
In the corner of the bar
Singing ’bout a broken heart
For hours and hours
By closing time I face the fact
That if I had a gift like that
I know that I could win her back
But there’s some things I can’t do
So now it’s up to you
Write one for me
Put the perfect words together
Write one for me
A melody to last forever
I don’t have the song, so if you please
Tell her she’s the right one for me
It does no good for you to play
A pretty song like «Yesterday»
‘Cause that’s not what I need to say
To get her to love me
I’m too scared to tell her so
So if you’d be my Cyrano
And send to her a tune I know
That she would change her mind
So take a little time and
Write one for me
Put the perfect words together
Write one for me
A melody to last forever
I don’t have the song, so if you please
Tell her she’s the right one for me
If I could write a poem, I would send one
But I don’t have a pen I can depend on
I can’t come up with a single line
So would you write the song,
and tell her that it’s mine all mine
Write one for me
Put the perfect words together
Write one for me
A melody to last forever
I don’t have the song, so if you please
Tell her she’s the right one for me
Tell her she’s the right one for me
What Love Wants To Be (Richard Starkey/Mark Hudson/Gary Burr)
What love wants to be
Is a song that lasts forever
The perfect melody
When two hearts sing together
The moon can’t shine without the sun
On my own I’m only one
Now I have a reason to believe
What love wants to be
You are that to me
What love wants to be
Is deeper than the ocean
Green eyes like the sea
Reflecting true devotion
When the night is still, the stars that shine
Say yet again that you are mine
No need to keep on searching endlessly
What love wants to be
You are that to me
After the band is gone
We will keep dancing on
Like every night is Saturday night
What love wants to be
We’ve heard it through the ages
But no one ever told me that it’s free
What love wants to be
You are that to me
What love wants to be
You are that… to me
Love First, Ask Questions Later (Richard Starkey/Mark Hudson/Gary Burr/Dean Grakal)
What could I do when I didn’t know
When I was young I was younger
Give me an answer, it’s yes or no
How can we wait any longer
So baby don’t forget this
What comes around will go
Maybe we’ll regret this
Well, maybe never knows
Love first, ask questions later
Moments pass, they won’t wait for the waiter
No one’s ever found a power that is greater
So love first, ask questions later
Nothing but joy in the tears we cry
Nothing but light all around us
Trust in each other as years go by
Now that forever has bound us
It ain’t so complicated
It’s easy after all
It can’t be overstated
The writing’s on the wall
Love first, ask questions later
Moments pass, they won’t wait for the waiter
No one’s ever found a power that is greater
So love first ask questions later
From all the masters through all time
There’s just one truth we have to find
My love is yours, your love is mine
Baby don’t forget this
What comes around will go
I promise you won’t regret this
Tomorrow never knows
Love first ask questions later
Moments pass they won’t wait for the waiter
No one ever found a power that is greater
So love first, ask questions later
Love first, ask questions later
Elizabeth Reigns (Richard Starkey/Mark Hudson/Gary Burr/Steve Dudas/Dean Grakal)
Elizabeth reigns
Over and under
Elizabeth reigns
Lightning and thunder
Elizabeth reigns
Since I was younger
She’s head of the family
Elizabeth reigns over me
The Queen Mum is dead
But she lives in my head
Since the world was at war
We all felt her pain
But never complained
We all loved her more
Elizabeth reigns
Over and under
Elizabeth reigns
Lightning and thunder
Elizabeth reigns
Since I was younger
She’s head of the family
Elizabeth reigns over me
A letter unsent
Entombed in cement
And hung from the hanging tree
God save the Queen
If you know what I mean
We don’t really need a king
Six hundred servants
Use her detergents
Scrubbing the Palace floor
And all of our sins are
As big as the Windsors
So lets point our fingers
No more
Elizabeth reigns
Over and under
Elizabeth reigns
Lightning and thunder
Elizabeth reigns
Since I was younger
Goodbye to the Jubilee
Elizabeth reigns over me
Elizabeth reigns over me
English Garden (Richard Starkey/Mark Hudson/Gary Burr/Steve Dudas/Dean Grakal)
I want you to see
All of the flowers
We’ll shoot the breeze
For hours and hours
Buttercups grow
High as the towers
What do I see?
I beg your pardon
Barbara and me
In our English Garden
Barbara, Buster, and me
In our English Garden (and you too, Monty)
In our English Garden
Someone’s knockin’ at the door
Someone’s ringin’ my bell
Someone’s knockin’ at the door
Someone’s ringin’ the bell
I Really Love Her (Richard Starkey/Mark Hudson)
I needed some love
I wanted it now
But I didn’t know how
To really love her
I really love her
Time after time
I’ve acted so blind
But she opened my eyes
To really love her
I really love her
I really love her
