Recorded during the Nashville sessions in 1971

Hey diddle, I want you back, diddle, I want you back
Hey diddle, I want you back, diddle, I want you back

Hey diddle, I want you back, diddle, I want you back

Ah, she can't be found
But love doesn't care, doesn't care
Ah, don't despair
The next time around, she'll be there

Hey diddle, I want you back, diddle, I want you back
Hey diddle, I want you back, diddle, I want you back

Hey diddle, I want you back, diddle, I want you back

Hey diddle, I want you back, diddle, I want you back
Hey diddle, I want you back, diddle, I want you back

I wouldn't make her
Her wooden table, I wouldn't care

Hey diddle, I want you back, diddle, I want you back

Hey diddle, I want you back, diddle, I want you back

Ah, don't be long
My heart isn't strong, don't be long
Ah, never fear
The next time around, she'll be here

Hey diddle, I want you back, diddle, I want you back
Hey diddle, I want you back, diddle, I want you back

Hey diddle, I want you back, diddle, I want you back

Hey diddle, I want you back, diddle, I want you back
Hey diddle, I want you back, diddle, I want you back

Hey diddle, I want you back, diddle, I want you back

Lonely Road
© 2001 MPL Communications  (McCartney)

I tried to get over you
I tried to find something new
but all I could ever do
was fill my time with thoughts of you

I tried to go somewhere old
to search for my pot of gold
but all I could ever hold
inside my mind were thoughts of you

   I hear your music and it's driving me wild
   Familiar rhythms in a different style
   I hear your music and it's driving me wild
   Again ohhh

   Don't want to let you take me down
   Don't want to get hurt second time around
   Don't want to walk that lonely road again yeahh

      solo

   Oh lonely road oh oh

   I hear your music and it's driving me wild
   Familiar rhythms in a different style
   I hear your music and it's driving me wild again ohhh

   Don't want to let you take me down
   Don't want to get hurt second time around
   Don't want to walk that lonely road again

   Don't want to let you take me down
   Don't want to get hurt second time around
   Don't want to walk that lonely road again

   I don't want to walk that lonely road
   Oh no

From A Lover To A Friend
© 2001 MPL Communications  (McCartney)

And when the time comes round
We will be duty bound
To tell the truth of what we've seen

And what we haven't found
Will not be going down
Despite too easy ride to see

   From a lover to a friend
   Take your own advice
   Let me love again
   Now that you turned out to be
   Someone I can trust
   Someone I believe

Ooooh
lalalalalalalala

How can I walk when I can't find the way
I'm in dilemma
All I want is to tell me you're going to take it away

   From a lover to a friend
   Take your own advice
   Let me love again
   Now that you turned out to be
   Someone I can trust
   Someone I believe

And what we haven't found
Will not be going down
Despite too easy ride to see

   From a lover to a friend
   You turned out to be
   Someone I believe
   From a lover to a friend
   Take your own advice
   Let me love again

Ooooh
lalalalalalalala

How can I walk when I can't find the way
I'm in dilemma
All I want is to tell me you're going to take it away

   From a lover to a friend
   From a lover to a friend
   From a lover to a friend
   Let me love again

She Given Up Talking
© 2001 MPL Communications  (McCartney)

She's given up talking, don't say a word
Even in the classroom not a dickey bird
Unlike other children, she's seen and never heard
She's given up talking don't say a word

You see her in the playground, standing on her own
Everybody wonders why she's all alone
Someone's got her angry, someone's got her scared
She's given up talking don't say a word

    But when she comes home it's a yap, yap, yap
    Words are running freely like a water from a tap
    Her brothers and her sisters can't get a word in edgeways
    But when she's back in school again she goes into a daze

    (solo)

She's given up talking, don't say a word

Driving Rain

    One, two, three, four, five,
    Let's go for a drive
    Six, seven, eight, nine, ten,
    Let's go there and back again, oohh

Something's open it's my heart
If something's missing it's when we're apart
If something's good it's when we're back together again

Nothing wrong it's just insane
Nothings right until you're back again
Nothings broken when it's softly spoken and
We're walking slowly down the lane

Why don't we drive in the rain
Straight through the eye of the hurricane
Go for a ride in the driving rain

    One, two, three, four, five,
    Let's go for a drive
    Six, seven, eight, nine, ten, ooh ooh

    One, two, three, four, five,
    Let's go for a drive
    Six, seven, eight, nine, ten,
    Ya let's go there and back again, baby, baby

You come walking through my door
Like the one that I've been waiting for
Letting sunshine in the darkest places when
I've been going there again

So why don't we drive in the rain
Straight through the eye of the hurricane
Why don't we drive in the rain
Straight through the eye of the hurricane
Go for a ride in the driving rain

    One, two, three, four, five,
    Let's go for a drive
    Six, seven, eight, nine, ten, ooh ooh

    One, two, three, four, five,
    Let's go for a drive
    Six, seven, eight, nine, ten,
    Let's go there and back again, baby, baby

In the driving rain ooh
Why don't we drive in the driving rain

    One, two, three, four, five, ooh ooh
    Six, seven, eight, nine, ten,
    Oh let's go back again

    One, two, three, four, five,
    Let's go for a drive
    Six, seven, eight, nine, ten,
    Ye let's go there and back again ooh ooh

You come walking through my door
Like the one that I've been waiting for

I Do

If you only knew
How much it meant to me
You'd understand
And I would feel
Your love was true
This is all I want
This is all I need
This is all I long for I do

Just remember this
After a time it's through
And evermore
Will there be days
For me and you
This is all I ask
All I ask of you
Please remember darling, I do
love you

    Days go by so quickly
    When you're having fun
    But life is never easy
    Even in the sun

Please remember this
After a time it's through
And evermore
Will there be days
For me and you

This is all I want
This is all I need
Darling please remember, I do
love you

Tiny Bubble
© 2001 MPL Communications  (McCartney)

Well well, Oh yeh
Well well, Oh yeh, oh yeh

If you’re part of my love don’t leave home tonight
While we’re sleeping we can learn to see that

All the worlds a tiny bubble floating inside
Those of us who notice are expected to hide
All the worlds a tiny bubble floating inside the truth

When I look in your eyes I can see the sky
Shining down upon the perfect garden

All the worlds a tiny bubble floating inside
Those of us who notice are expected to hide
All the worlds a tiny bubble floating inside the truth

        You can't imagine just what I’ve been going through
        I wouldn’t wish it on a soul much less on you
        I well remember when my heart was free my soul could laugh
        So could we

If you’re part of my love don’t leave home tonight
While we’re sleeping we can learn to see that

All the world’s a tiny bubble floating inside
Those of us who notice are expected to hide
All the worlds a tiny bubble floating inside the truth

        Solo As Verse

        You can't imagine just what I’ve been going through
        I wouldn’t wish it on a soul much less on you
        I well remember when my soul was free my heart could sing
        So Could We

If you’re part of my love you won’t leave home tonight
While we’re sleeping we can learn to see that

All The worlds a tiny bubble floating inside
All The worlds a tiny bubble oooh
All The worlds a tiny bubble oooh
All The worlds a tiny bubble
Tiny bubble ...

Magic
© 2001 MPL Communications  (McCartney)

There must have been magic
The night that we met
If I hadn't stopped you
I'd always regret

A few minutes later
You'd have been at the door
I'd have been lonely
For ever more
For ever more

    Oh what made us do it
    Wonder what holy spell
    Nature's mother knew it
    Only too well

She reached out her finger
To point out the sky
Leaving me helpless
Not knowing why

And this is the hour
That they turn out the light
Nothing but memories
Burning so bright
Burning so bright

    Oh what made us do it
    Wonder what holy spell
    Nature's mother knew it
    Only too well

There must have been magic
The night that we met
If I hadn't stopped you
I'd always regret
Always regret

There must have been magic
There must have been magic
There must have been magic
The night that we met

Spinning On An Axis

World spinning round
To the next revolution
Sun going down
Gonna rise up again

I watch the sun go down with some sorrow
And now I know it's gonna come back tomorrow
Ain't no reason it has to do that
It's the season of the culture bat

    Spinning on an axis
    Spinning on an axis
    Staring in the face of time and space
    Spinning on an axis

World spinning round
To the next revolution
Sun going down
Gonna rise up again

World spinning round
To the next revolution
Sun going down
Gonna rise up again

Hear me rising
Rise up and sing, rise up, rise up

Although I'm curious it isn't a crime
I wanna know if I find out in time
A lot of people busy doing their thing
Are gonna wake up and sing

    Spinning on an axis
    Spinning on an axis
    We ask the question the answer's yes
    Spinning on an axis

I watch the sun go down with some sorrow
And now I know it's gonna come back tomorrow
Ain't no reason why it has to do that
It's the season of the culture bat

I watch the sun go down
Wonder if it's gonna come back
Certainly there's no guarantee
But I got a feeling it will be

    Spinning on an axis
    Spinning on an axis
    Spinning on, spinning on an axis
    Spinning on an axis
    Spinning on an axis Yeah

World spinning round
To the next revolution
Sun going down
Gonna rise up again

To the next revolution
Sun going down
Gonna rise up, gonna rise up, gonna rise up, gonna rise up,

About You

One, two, three, four

You give me power
To get out of bed
When in the morning
I'm feeling dead
Living and loving
There's a lot to be said it's true

Gonna say it about you
Gonna say it about you

Out of the darkness
And into the light
Straight to the centre
Of everything right
Darling don't worry
The sky will be bright and blue

When I say it about you
Gonna sing it about you
I'll say it about you

solo

When did you teach me
To fly thru the air
Sooner or later
we all will be there
I read the headlines
And now I can swear it's true

And they said it about you
Gonna say it about you
Gonna say it about you
Gonna say it about you
Gonna say it about ... you

I'm gonna fly to the moon
Check in outta space
Find me a suitable plot
Build myself a place

There I will stay
For a year and a day
Until the cares of my life blow away
And I will dance to a runcible tune
With a queen of my heart, ummm

Your Loving Flame
© 2001 MPL Communications  (McCartney)

How can I hope to reach your love
Help me to discover what it is you're thinking of
Cos when we kiss nothing feels the same
I could spend eternity inside your loving flame

What am I to do if I don't have you
I'll be feeling blue, just sitting here without you
You could be the one to chase my blues away ... away

(lead solo)

So tell me how, how to reach your love
Help me to discover what it is you're thinking of
Cos when we kiss nothing feels the same
I could spend eternity inside your loving flame

What am I to do if I don't have you
I'll be feeling blue just sitting here without you
You could be the one to chase my blues away ... away

Cos when we kiss nothing feels the same
I could spend eternity inside your loving flame
So tell me how, how to reach your love
Help me to discover what it is you're thinking of

How can I hope to reach your love
Here forever in your loving flame
