	A strong cut, and the closest to a true rocker that Paul has attempted since Back to the Egg...although the rock here is not anything like in that album but more like a Styx sort of rock (they were pretty hot at that time--and the ending to this song is very reminiscent of Styx's "Too Much Time on My Hands"). The strings in this song are pretty cool, and certainly unique in Paul's entire career.	Bruce Beatlefan	July 21, 2006

Lyrics

Love, I'm gonna pick you up in the morning,
Love, I'm gonna take you out on a journey.
I don't know where I'm going to,
But I know what I've been going through,
Without you by my side.
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo.

What good is butter if you haven't got bread?
What good is art when it hurts your head?
Might as well be in bed.

Keep under cover 'til the battle has ceased,
Keep out of trouble 'til the prisoners are released.

What good's a puzzle when you haven't a clue?
What good is me when I'm not with you?
Might as well stay in bed.

Keep under cover 'til the clouds disappear,
Keep out of trouble 'til the weather is bright and clear.

Love, I'm gonna pick you up,
I'm gonna take you out.
I don't know what I'm gonna do
But I know what I've been going through,
Without you by my side,
Without you by my side,
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo.

What good is tennis when there isn't a ball?
What good's a curtain without a call?
Might as well be in bed.

Keep under cover 'til the battle has ceased,
Keep out of trouble 'til the prisoners are released.

Love, I'm gonna pick you up, (i'm gonna pick you up)
I'm gonna take you out. (yes, I'll be taking you out)
I don't know what I'm gonna do
But I know what I've been going through,
Without you by my side, (without you by my side)
Without you by my side.

Keep under cover,
Keep under cover, yeah,
Keep under cover, oo,
Keep under cover, wow, wow, wow, wow.
Keep under cover...
