  1.  CAN'T BUY ME LOVE

Can't buy me love oh love oh
Can't buy me love oh
I'll buy you a diamond ring my friend
If it makes you feel all right
I'll get you anything my friend
If it makes you feel all right
'cause I don't care too much for money
For money can't buy me love
I'll give you all I got to give
If you say you love me too
I may not have a lot to give
But what I've got I'll give to you
'cause I don't care too much for money
For money can't buy me love
Can't buy me love oh everybody tells me so
Can't buy me love oh no no no --- no!
Say you don't need no diamond rings
And I'll be satisfied
Tell me that you want the kind of things
That money just can't buy
'cause I don't care too much for money
For money can't buy me love
Can't buy me love oh love oh
Can't buy me love oh

  4.  RAIN

If the rain comes they run and hide their heads
They might as well be dead
If the rain comes, if the rain comes
When the sun shines they slip into a shade
And sip their lemonade
When the sun shines, when the sun shines
Rain, I don't mind
Shine, the weather's fine
I can show you that when it starts to rain
Everything's same
I can show you, I can show you
Rain, I don't mind
Shine, the weather's fine
Can you hear me that when it rains and shines
It's just a state of mind
Can you hear me, can you hear me


  5.  LADY MADONNA

Lady Madonna children at your feet
Wonder how you managed to make ends meet
Who finds money when you pay the rent
Did you think that money was heaven sent
Friday night arrives without a suitcase
Sunday morning creeps in like a nun
Monday's shild has learned to tie his bootlace
See how they'll run
Lady Madonna baby at your breast
Wonder how you managed to feed the rest
See how they'll run
Lady Madonna lying on the bed
Listen to the music playing in your head
Tuesday afternoon is never ending
Wedn'sday morning papers didn't come
Thursday night your stockings needed mending
See how they'll run
Lady Madonna children at your feet
Wonder how you managed to make ends meet


  6.  REVOLUTION

You say you want a revolution
Well you know
We all want to change the world
You tell me that it's evolution
Well you know
We all want to change the world
But when you talk about destruction
Don't you know that you can count me out
Don't you know it's going to be all right,
                          all right,all right
You say you got a real solution
Well you know
We'd all love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution
Well you know we're doing what we can
But if you want money for people
                       with minds that hate
All I can tell you is brother you have to wait
Don't you know it's going to be all right,
                          all right,all right
You say you'll change a constitution
Well you know
We all want to change your head
You tell me it's an institution
Well you know
You'll better free your mind instead
But if you go carrying pictures of chairman Mao
You ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow
Don't you know it's going to be all right,
                          all right,all right

  7.  HEY JUDE

Hey Jude, don't make it bad
Take a sad song
And make it better
Remember, to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better
Hey Jude, don't be afraid
You were made to go out and get her
The minute  You let her under your skin
Then you begin
To make it better
And anytime you feel the pain
Hey Jude, refrain
Don't carry the world upon your shoulders
For well you know that it's a fool
Who plays it cool
By making his world a little colder
Hey Jude, don't let me down
You have found her now go and get her
Remember (Hey Jude) to let her
                       into your heart
Then you can start to make it better
So let it out and let it in
Hey Jude, begin
You're waiting for someone to perform with
And don't you know that it's just you
Hey Jude, you'll do
The movement you need is on your shoulder
Hey Jude don't make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember you let her under your skin
Then you'll begin
To make it better


  8.  OLD BROWN SHOE

I want a love that's right but right
Is only half of what's wrong
I want a short haired girl who sometimes
Wears it twice as long
Now I'm stepping out this old brown shoe
Baby, I'm in love with you
I'm so glad you came here it won't be the same now
I'm telling you
You know you pick me up from where
Some try to drag me down
And when I see your smile replacing
Every thougtless from
Got me escaping from this zoo
Baby, I'm in love with you
If I grown up I'll be a singer
Wearing rings on every finger
Not worrying what they or you say
I'll leave and maybe some day
Who knows, baby, you may comfort me
I may appear to be imperfect my love is
Something you may reject
I'm changing faster than the weather
If you and me should get together
Who knows,baby,you may comfort me
That love of yours to miss that love
Is something I'd hate
I'll make an early start I'm making sure that
I'm not late
But your sweet top lip I'm in the guene
Baby,I'm in love with you
I'm so glad you came here
It won't be the same now when
I'm with you
I'm so glad you came here
It won't be the same now when
I'm with you


  9.  DON'T LET ME DOWN

Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Nobody ever loved me like she does
Ooh she does. Yes she does
And if somebody loved me
Like she do to me
Ooh she do to me. Yes she does
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
I'm in love for the first time
Don't you know it's going to last
It's a love that lasts forever
It's a love that has no past
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
And from the first time that she
                     really done me
Ooh she done me. She done me good
I guess nobody ever really done me
Ooh she done me
She done me
She done me good
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down


  10.  BALLAD OF JOHN AND YOKO

Standing at the dock at Southempton
Trying to get Holland or France
The man in the 'Mac' said "You're got to go back
You know they didn't even give us a chance"
Christ,you know it ain't easy
You know how hard it can be
The way things are going
They're going to crucify me
Finally made the plane into Paris
Honey morning down by the Saine
Peter Brown called to say "You can make it O.K.''
You can married in Gibraltar near Spane"
Christ,you know it ain't easy
You know how hard it can be
The way things are going
They're going to crucify me
Drove from Paris to the Amsterdam Hilton
Talking in our beds for a week
The newspapers said "What you're doing in bed"
I said "We only try to get us some peace"
Christ you know it ain't easy
You know how hard it can be
The way things are going
They're going to crucify me
Saving up your money for a rainy day
Giving all your clothers to charity
Last night the wife said "Oh boy when you're dead
You don't take nothing with you but your soul - think"
Made a lighting trip to Vienna
Eating chocolate cake in a bed
The newspapers said "She's gone to his head
They looked just like two gurus in drag"
Christ you know it ain't easy
You know how hard it can be
The way things are going
They're going to crucify me
Caught the early plane back to London
Fifty acorns tied in a sack
The men from the press said "We wish you success
It's good to have the both of you back"
Christ you know it ain't easy
You know how hard it can be
The way things are going
They're going to crucify me
