From All The Best! (1987) by Paul McCartney

Band on the Run (McCartney) - 5:12

Stuck inside these four walls,
Sent inside forever,
Never seeing no one
Nice again like you,
Mama you, mama you.

If I ever get out of here,
Thought of giving it all away
To a registered charity.
All I need is a pint a day
If I ever get out of here.

Well, the rain exploded with a mighty crash
As we fell into the sun,
And the first one said to the second one there
I hope you're having fun.
Band on the run, band on the run.

And the jailer man and sailor sam
Were searching every one
For the band on the run, band on the run
Band on the run, band on the run.

Well, the undertaker drew a heavy sigh
Seeing no one else had come,
And a bell was ringing in the village square
For the rabbits on the run.
Band on the run, band on the run.

And the jailer man and sailor sam
Were searching every one
For the band on the run, band on the run
Band on the run, band on the run.

Well, the night was falling as the desert world
Began to settle down.
In the town they're searching for us every where
But we never w ill be found.

Band on the run, band on the run.
And the county judge who held a grudge
Will search for evermore
For the band on the run, band on the run
Band on the run band on the run,

Band on the run.

Jet (McCartney) - 4:08

Jet! I can almost remember their funny faces
That time you told me that
You were going to be marrying soon.
And jet, I thought the only
Lonely place was on the moon.
Jet! Jet!

Jet! Was your father as bold as a sergeant major?
How come he told you that
You were hardly old enough yet?
And jet, I thought the major
Was a lady suffragette.
Jet! Jet!

Ah, matter, want jet to always love me?
Ah, matter, want jet to always love me?
Ah, matter, much later.

Jet! With the wind in your hair of a thousand laces.
Climb on the back and we'll
Go for a ride in the sky.
And jet, I thought the major
Was a lady suffragette.
Jet! Jet!

Ebony and Ivory (McCartney) - 3:43

Ebony and ivory,
Live together in perfect harmony,
Side by side on my piano keyboard,
Oh, lord, why don't we?

We all know that people are the same wherever you go,
There is good and bad in ev'ryone.
And we learn to live, we learn to give each other
What we need to survive, together alive.

Ebony and ivory,
Live together in perfect harmony,
Side by side on my piano keyboard,
Oh, lord, why don't we?

Ebony, ivory,
Living in perfect harmony.
Ebony, ivory.

Ooh -

We all know that people are the same wherever you go,
There is good and bad, mm-mm, in ev'ryone.
We learn to live when we learn to give each other
What we need to survive, together alive.

Ebony and ivory,
Live together in perfect harmony,
Side by side on my piano keyboard,
Oh, lord, why don't we?
Side by side on my piano keyboard,
Oh, lord, why don't we-ee-ee-ee, we?

Ebony, ivory, living in perfect harmony
Ebony, ivory, are living in perfect harmony.
Ebony, ivory,
Living in perfect harmony.
Ebony, ivory,
Living in perfect harmony.
Ebony, ivory,
Living in perfect harmony.

Ebony, ivory,
Living in perfect harmony.

Listen to What the Man Said (McCartney) - 3:55

Any time, any day
You can hear the people say,
But he wont mind, well, I don't know
But I say love is kind

Soldier boy kisses girl
Leaves behind a tragic world
But he wont mind, he's in love
And he says love is fine

Oh -- yes, indeed we know
That people will find a way to go
No matter what the man said
And love is fine for all we know
For all we know, our love will grow
-- that's what the man said
So won't you listen to what the man said

He said ...

Oh -- yes, indeed we know
That people will find a way to go ...

Oh -- yes, indeed we know
That people will find a way to go ...
Etc. Etc.

The wonder of it all baby ...
The wonder of it all baby ...
The wonder of it all baby ...

No More Lonely Nights (McCartney) - 4:39

I can wait another day until I call you, mm-mm,
You've only got my heart on a string
And ev'rything a'flutter.

But another lonely night (and another, and another)
Might take forever. (and another, nother)
We've only got each other to blame,
It's all the same to me, love.
'Cause I know what I feel to be right.

No more lonely nights, never be another,
No more lonely nights.
You're my guiding light,
Day or night I'm always there.

And I won't go away until you tell me so,
No, I'll never go away.

Yes I know (I know)
What I feel (I feel)
To be right. (to be right)

No more lonely nights, never be another,
No more lonely nights.
You're my guiding light,
Day or night I'm always there.

And I won't go away until you tell me so,
No, I'll never go away.

No more lonely nights, no, no.

Silly Love Songs (McCartney) - 5:55

You'd think that people would have had enought of silly love songs.
But I look around me and I see it isn't so.
Some people wanna fill the world with silly love songs.
And what's wrong with that?
I'd like to know, 'cause here I go again
I love you, I love you,
I love you, I love you.

I can't explain the feeling's plain to me; say can't you see?
Ah, she gave me more, she gave it all to me
Now can't you see, what's wrong with that
I need to know, 'cause here I go again
I love you, I love you.

Love doesn't come in a minute,
Sometimes it doesn't come at all
I only know that when I'm in it
It isn't silly, no, it isn't silly, love isn't silly at all.

How can I tell you about my loved one?
How can I tell you about my loved one?

How can I tell you about my loved one?
(I love you)
How can I tell you about my loved one?
(I love you)...

Let 'em in (McCartney) - 5:10

Someone's knockin' at the door.
Somebody's ringin' the bell.
Someone's knockin' at the door.
Somebody's ririgin' the bell.
Do me a favor,
Open the door and let 'em in.

Sister suzie, brother john,
Martin luther, phil and don,
Brother michael, auntie gin,
Open the door and let 'em in.

Someone's knockin' at the door.
Somebody's ringin' the bell.
Someone's knockin' at the door.
Somebody's ringin' the bell.

Do me a favor,
Open the door and let 'em in

Say Say Say (McCartney) - 3:56

Say, say, say what you want
But don't play games with my affection.
Take, take, take what you need
But don't leave me with no direction.

All alone, I sit home by the phone,
Waiting for you, baby (baby)
Through the years how can you stand to hear
My pleading for you, dear?
You know I'm crying.
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo, yeh, yeh.

Now, go, go, go where you want,,
But don't leave me here forever.
You, you, you stay away,
So long, dear, I see you never.

What can I do, girl, to get through to you?
'Cause I love you, baby (baby)
Standing here, baptised in all my tears,
Baby, through the years,
You know I'm crying.
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo.

Ee-ee-ee.

You got to say, say, say,
Got to say, say, say.

You never ever worry,
And you never shed a tear.
You're saying that my love ain't real,
Just look at my face, these tears ain't drying.

You, you, you can never say,
That I'm not the one who really loves you.
I pray, pray, pray every day
That you'll see things, girl, like I do.

What can I do, girl, to get through to you?
'Cause I love you, (love you) baby (baby)
Standing here, baptised in all my tears,
Baby, through the years.
You know I'm crying,
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo.

Ee-ee-ee.

Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo,
You got to say, say, say.

Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo.

Live and Let Die (McCartney) - 3:12

When you were young and your heart was an open book
You used to say life and let life
(you know you did, you know you did you know you did)
But in this ever changing world in which we live in
Makes you give in and cry

Say live and let die
Live and let die
Live and let die
Live and let die

What does it matter to ya
When you got a job to do
You gotta do it well
You gotta give the other fellow hell

When you were young and your heart was an open book
You used to say life and let life
(you know you did, you know you did you know you did)
But in this ever changing world in which we live in
Makes you give in and cry.

Another Day (McCartney) - 3:42

Every day she takes a morning bath s e wets her hair,
Wraps a towel around her
As she's heading for the bedroom chair,
It's just another day.

Slipping into stockings,
Stepping into shoes,
Dipping in the pocket of her raincoat.
Ah, it's just another day.

At the office where the papers grow she takes a break,
Drinks another coffee
And she finds it hard to stay awake,

It's just another day. Du du du du du
It's just another day. Du du du du du
Lt's just another day.

Ay
So sad, so sad,
Sometimes she feels so sad.
Alone in her apartment she'd dwell,
Till the man of her dreams comes to break the spell.

Ah, stay, don't stand around
And he comes and he stays
But he leaves the next day,
So sad.
Sometimes she feels so sad.

As she posts another letter to the sound of five,
People gather 'round her
And she finds it hard to stay alive,

It's just another day. Du du du du du
It's just another day. Du du du du du
It's just another day.

Ay
So sad, so sad,
Sometimes she feels so sad.
Alone in her apartment she'd dwell,
Till the man of her dreams comes to break the spell.

Ah, stay, don't stand around
And he comes and he stays
But he leaves the next day,
So sad.
Sometimes she feels so sad.

Every day she takes a morning bath she wets her hair,
Wraps a towel around her
As she's heading for the bedroom chair,
It's just another day.

Slipping into stockings,
Stepping into shoes,
Dipping in the pockets of her raincoat.

Ah, it's just another day. Du du du du du
It's just another day. Du du du du du
It's just another day.

C Moon (McCartney) - 4:34

C moon c moon c moon is she.
C moon c moon c moon to me.

How come no one older than me
Ever seems to understand the things I wanna to do?
It will be l7 and I'd never get to heaven
If I filled my head with glue
What's it all to you?

C moon, c moon, c moon is she
C moon, c moon, c moon to me

Bobby lived with patty
But they never told her daddy
What their love was all about
She could tell her lover that he thought but
She never was the type to let it out
What's it all about?

C moon, c moon, oh c moon are we
C moon, c moon, c moon are we

How come no one older than me
Ever seems to understand the things I wanna to do?
It will be l7 and I'd never get to heaven
If I filled my head with glue
What's it all to you?

C moon, c moon, c moon is she
C moon, c moon, c moon to me

Bobby lived with patty
But they never told her daddy
What their love was all about
She could tell her lover that he thought but
She never wanted to let it out
What's it all about?

C moon, c moon, c moon are we
C moon, c moon, c moon are we

Well what's it all about?

C moon, c moon, c moon are we
C moon are we

Junior's Farm (McCartney) - 4:23

You should have seen me with the poker man,
I had a honey and I bet a grand,
Just in the nick of time I looked at his hand.

I was talking to an Eskimo,
Said he was hopping for a fall of snow,
When up popped a sea lion ready to go.

Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go
Down to junior's farm where I want to lay low,
Low life, high life, oh, let's go,
Take me down to junior's farm.

At the Houses of Parliament
Ev'rybody's talking 'bout the president,
We all chip in for a bag of cement.

Only hardy should have had more sense,
He bought a gee-gee and he jumped the fence,
All for the sake of a couple of pence.

I took my bag into a grocer's store,
The price is higher than the time before,
Old man asked me why is it more.

I said you should have seen me with the poker man,
I had a honey and I bet a grand,
Just in the nick of time I looked at his hand.

Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go
Down to junior's farm where I want to lay low,
Low life, high life, oh, let's go,
Take me down to junior's farm,
Let's go, let's go, down to junior's farm where I want to lay low.

Low life, high life, oh, let's go,
Take me down to junior's farm
Ev'rybody tag along.
Take me down to junior's farm.

Uncle Albert / Admiral Halsey (McCartney) - 4:41

We're so sorry uncle Albert
We're so sorry if we caused you any pain
We're so sorry uncle Albert
But there's no one left at home
And I believe I'm gonna rain

We're so sorry but we haven't heard a thing all day
We're so sorry uncle Albert
But if anything should happen we'll be sure to give a ring

We're so sorry uncle Albert
But we haven't done a bloody thing all day
We're so sorry uncle Albert
But the kettle's on the boil and we're so easily called away

Hand across the water (water)
Heads across the sky
Hand across the water (water)
Heads across the sky
Admiral Halsey notified me
He had to have a berth or he couldn't get to sea
I had another look and I had a cup of tea and butter pie

(the butter wouldn't melt so I put it in the pie)
Hand across the water (water)
Heads across the sky
Hand across the water (water)
Heads across the sky
Live a little be a gypsy, get around(get around)
Get your feet up off the ground
Live a little, get around
Live a little be a gypsy, get around(get around)
Get your feet up off the ground
Live a little, get around

Hand across the water (water)
Heads across the sky
Hand across the water (water)
Heads across the sky
Ooo...

Coming up (McCartney) - 3:31

You want a love to last forever,
One that will never fade away.

Stick around, I say.

One who will never fade away.

So ev'rybody can be free.

Don't get too tired for love,
Don't let it end.
Don't say goodnight to love,
It may never be the same again.

Don't say it, don't say it,
Say anything, don't say goodnight tonight.
Don't say it, don't say it,
Say anything but don't say goodnight tonight.

It's a feeling that may never die.

Don't say it, don't say it,
Say anything, don't say goodnight tonight.
Don't say it, don't say it,

Say anything but don't say goodnight tonight.
Oo - oo-oo-oo-oo.

Ah!
Oh no!
Ah!

Boogie woogie!

Don't get too tired for love,
Don't let it end. Don't say goodnight to love,

You could say anything but don't say goodnight tonight.
Don't say it, don't say it,
Don't say goodnight tonight.

(ah)

Ho!

With a Little Luck (McCartney) - 3:13

With a little luck, we can help it out.
We can make this whole damn thing work out.
With a little love, we can lay it down.
Can't you feel the town exploding?

There is no end to what we can do together.
There is no end, there is no end.
The willow turns his back on inclement weather;
And if he can do it, we can do it, just me and you,

And a little luck, we can clear it up.
We can bring it in for a landing,
With a little luck, we can turn it on.
There can be no misunderstanding.

There is no end to what we can do together.
There is no end, there is no end.
The willow turns his back on inclement weather;
We can do it, just me and you.

With a little push, we could set it off.
We can send it rocketing skywards.
With a little love, we could shake it up.
Don't you feel the comet exploding?

With a little luck.
With a little luck.
With a little luck, a little luck, a little luck.
With a little luck.
With a little luck.
With a little luck, a little luck, a little luck.

My Love (McCartney) - 4:08

And when I go away
I know my heart can stay with my love / it's understood
It's in the hands of my love / and my love does it good
Wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo / my love does it good

And when the cupboards bare
I'll still find something there with my love
It's understood / it's everywhere with my love
And my love does it good
Wo-wo-wo-wo wo-wo-wo-wo
My love does it good

I love oh wo ... my love
Only my love holds the other key to me
Oh....my love oh...my love
Only my love does it good to me

Wo-wo-wo-wo wo-wo-wo-wo
My love does it good

Don't ever ask me why / I never say goodbye to my love
It's understood / it's everywhere with my love
And my love does it good
Wo-wo-wo-wo wo-wo-wo-wo
My love does it good
Oh....my love oh...my love
Only my love does it good to me
Wo
