Ringo Starr And His All-Starr Band Album

By Richard Starkey, Johnny Warman and Gary Grainger


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.

"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"

(It don't come easy, you know it don't come easy)
(It don't come easy, you know it don't come easy)

Got to pay your dues if you want to sing the blues
And you know it don't come easy
You don't have to shout or leap about
You can even play them easy
Forget about the past and all your sorrow
The future won't last, it will soon be your tomorrow

I don't ask for much, I only want trust
And you know it don't come easy
And this love of mine keeps growing all the time
And you know it just ain't easy
Open up your heart, let's come together
Use a little love and we will make it work out better

(Hare Krishna)

Got to pay your dues if you want to sing the blues
And you know it don't come easy
You don't have to shout or leap about
You can even play them easy
Please remember peace is how we make it
Here within your reach, if you're big enough to take it

I don't ask for much, I only want trust
And you know it don't come easy
And this love of mine keeps growing all the time
And you know it don't come easy

Everybody's doin' a brand new dance now
(Come on baby, do the Loco-Motion)
I know you'll get to like it if you give it a chance now
(Come on baby, do the Loco-Motion)
My little baby sister can do it with ease
It's easier than learnin' your ABCs
So, come on, come on, and do the Loco-Motion with me

You've got to swing your hips now
Come on
Jump up
Jump back
Oh well, I think you've got the knack

Woah, woah
Now that you can do it, well let's make a chain now
(Come on baby, do the Loco-Motion)
A chuga-chuga motion like a railroad train, now
(Come on baby, do the Loco-Motion)
Do it nice and easy now, and don't lose control
A little bit of rhythm and a lot of soul
So, come on, come on, and do the Loco-Motion with me

Woah, woah
Move around the floor in a loco-motion
(Come on baby, do the Loco-Motion)
Do it holdin' hands if'n you get the notion
(Come on baby, do the Loco-Motion)
There's never been a dance that's so easy to do
It even makes you happy when you're feelin' blue
So, come on, come on, and do the Loco-Motion with me
(Come on baby, do the Loco-Motion)
So, come on, come on, and do the Loco-Motion with me
(Come on baby, do the Loco-Motion)
So, come on, come on, and do the Loco-Motion with me
(Come on baby, do the Loco-Motion)
(Come on baby, do the Loco-Motion)
(Come on baby, do the Loco-Motion)
(Come on baby, do the Loco-Motion)
(Come on baby, do the Loco-Motion)

Nothin' from nothin' leaves nothin'
You gotta have somethin' if you wanna be with me
Nothin' from nothin' leaves nothin'
You gotta have somethin' if you wanna be with me

I'm not tryin' to be your hero
'Cause that zero is too cold for me, Brrr
I'm not tryin' to be your highness
'Cause that minus is too low to see, yeah

Nothin' from nothin' leaves nothin'
And I'm not stuffin', believe you me
Don't you remember I told ya
I'm a soldier in the war on poverty, yeah
Yes, I am

Nothin' from nothin' leaves nothin'
You gotta have somethin' if you wanna be with me
Nothin' from nothin' leaves nothin'
You gotta have somethin' if you wanna be with me

You gotta have somethin' if you wanna be with me
You gotta bring me somethin' girl, if you wanna be with me

Lonely feeling deep inside
Find a corner where I can hide
Silent footsteps crowding me
Sudden darkness but I can see

No sugar tonight in my coffee
No sugar tonight in my tea
No sugar to stand beside me
No sugar to run with me

Dat'n-doo-dow dow-dat'n-doo-dow
Dat'n-doo-dow dow-dow-dow
Dat'n-doo-dow dow-dat'n-doo-dow
Dat'n-doo-dow dow

In the silence of her mind
Quiet movements where I can find
Grabbing for me with her eyes
Now I'm falling from her skies

No sugar tonight in my coffee
No sugar tonight in my tea
No sugar to stand beside me
No sugar to run with me

Dat'n-doo-dow dow-dat'n-doo-dow
Dat'n-doo-dow dow-dow-dow
Dat'n-doo-dow dow-dat'n-doo-dow
Dat'n-doo-dow dow

Jocko says "Yes" and I believe him
When we talk about the things I say
She hasn't got the faith or the guts to leave him
When they're standing in each other's way
You're tripping back now to places you've been to
You wonder what you're gonna find
You know you've been wrong but it won't be long
Before you leave 'em all far behind

'Cause it's the new mother nature taking over
It's the new splendid lady come to call
It's the new mother nature taking over
She's gettin' us all
She's gettin' us all

Jocko said "No" when I came back last time
It's looking like I lost a friend
No use callin' 'cause the sky is fallin'
And I'm getting pretty near the end
A smoke-filled room in a corner basement
The situation must be right
A bag of goodies and a bottle of wine
We're gonna get it on right tonight

'Cause it's the new mother nature taking over
It's the new splendid lady come to call
It's the new mother nature taking over
She's gettin' us all
She's gettin' us all

(Lonely feeling) Jocko says "Yes" and I believe him
(Deep inside) When we talk about the things I say
(Find a corner) She hasn't got the faith or the guts to leave him
(Where I can hide) When they're standing in each other's way
(Silent footsteps) You're tripping back now to places you've been to
(Crowding me) You wonder what you're gonna find
(Sudden darkness) You know you've been wrong and it won't be long
(But I can see) Before you leave 'em all far behind

'Cause it's the new mother nature taking over
It's the new splendid lady come to call
It's the new mother nature taking over
She's gettin' us all
She's gettin' us all

Dat'n-doo-dow dow-dat'n-doo-dow
Dat'n-doo-dow dow-dow-dow
Dat'n-doo-dow dow-dat'n-doo-dow
Dat'n-doo-dow dow

Dat'n-doo-dow dow-dat'n-doo-dow
Dat'n-doo-dow dow-dow-dow
Dat'n-doo-dow dow-dat'n-doo-dow
Dat'n-doo-dow dow

All the world over, so easy to see
People everywhere just wanna be free
Listen, please listen, that's the way it should be
Deep in the valley, people got to be free

You should see what a lovely, lovely world this'd be
Everyone learned to live together, ah-hah-unh
Seems to me such an itty bitty thing should be
Why can't you and me learn to love one another?

All the world over, so easy to see
People everywhere just wanna be free
I can't understand it, so simple to me
People everywhere just got to be free

If there's a man who is down and needs a helpin' hand
All it takes is you to understand and to pull him through, ah-hah-unh
Seems to me we got to solve it individually, ah-hah-unh
And I'll do unto you what you do to me

Shout it from the mountain on out to the sea
No two ways about it, people have to be free
Ask me my opinion, my opinion will be
Nat'ral situation for a man to be free
Git right on board now

Oh, what a feelin's just come over me
Love can move a mountain, make a blind man see
Everybody sing it now come on let's go see
Deep in the valley now, we ought to be free

See that train over there?
That's the train of freedom
It's about to 'rrive any minute, now
You know it's been'a long, long overdue
Look out 'cause it's a'comin' right on through

Look, he's crawling up my wall
Black and hairy, very small
Now he's up above my head
Hanging by a little thread

Boris the spider
Boris the spider

Now he's dropped on to the floor
Heading for the bedroom door
Maybe he's as scared as me
Where's he gone now, I can't see

Boris the spider
Boris the spider

Creepy, crawly
Creepy, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly

There he is wrapped in a ball
Doesn't seem to move at all
Perhaps he's dead, I'll just make sure
Pick this book up off the floor

Boris the spider
Boris the spider

Creepy, crawly
Creepy, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly

He's come to a sticky end
Don't think he will ever mend
Never more will he crawl 'round
He's embedded in the ground

Boris the spider
Boris the spider

Thank you! Merci! Danke schön!

I met a devil woman
She took my heart away
She said I had it coming to me
But I wanted it that way

I think that any lovin's good lovin'
So I took what I could get, mmm ooh ooh
She looked at me with big brown eyes
And said

You ain't seen nothing yet
B-b-b-baby you just ain't seen n-n-n-nothin' yet
Here's somethin' that you're never gonna forget
B-b-b-baby you just ain't seen n-n-n-nothing yet
(And you're thinkin' you ain't been around, that's right)

And now I'm feeling better
'Cause I found out for sure
She took me to her doctor
And he told me of a cure

He said that any love is good love
So I took what I could get, yes I took what I could get
And then she looked at me with her big brown eyes
And said

You ain't seen nothing yet
B-b-b-baby you just ain't seen n-n-n-nothin' yet
Here's somethin', here's somethin' you're never gonna forget, baby
You know, you know, you know you just ain't seen nothin' yet
(You need an education, got to go to school)

Any lovin's good lovin'
So I took what I could get, yes I took what I could get
And then, and then, and then she looked at me with her big brown eyes and said

You ain't seen nothin' yet
Baby you just ain't seen n-n-n-nothin' yet
Here's somethin', here's somethin', here's a lover you'll never forget baby
Baby baby baby you ain't seen n-n-n-n-nothin' yet

You ain't been around
You ain't seen nothin' yet, that's what she told me
She said I need an education, go to school
I know I ain't seen nothin' yet
I know I ain't seen nothin' yet, ooh, ooh, ooh
I got something for you when I get home
Better be good
I been everywhere
But I ain't seen nothin' yet
I deserve it one of these days, oh yeah
Ooh, but I ain't seen nothin' yet
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
I ain't seen nothin' yet
I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait
If you want to show me what I ain't seen
Where I ain't been
La la la la la la la la la la

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!
