SOMETHING
Something in the way she moves
Attracts me like no other lover
Something in the way she woos me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how
Somewhere in her smile she knows
That I don't need no other lover
Something in her style that shows me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how
You're asking me will my love grow
I don't know, I don't know
You stick around and it may show
I don't know, I don't know
Something in the way she knows
And all I have to do is think of her
Something in the things she shows me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how

What I feel, I can't say
But my love is there for you anytime of day
But if it's not love that you need
Then I'll try my best to make everything succeed

Tell me, who am I without you, by my side
What I know, I can do
If I give my love now to everyone like you
But if it's not love that you need
Then I'll try my best to make ev'rything succeed
Tell me, what is my life without your love
Tell me, who am I without you, by my side
Tell me, what is my life without your love
Tell me, who am I without you, by my side
What I feel, I can't say
But my love is there for you any time of day
But if it's not love that you need
Then I'll try my best to make everything succeed
Tell me, what is my life without your love
Tell me, who am I without you, by my side
Oh tell me, what is my life without your love
Tell me, who am I without you, by my side
What is my life without your love
Tell me, who am I without you, by my side

Oh tell me, what is my life without your love
Tell me who am I without you by my side

DARK HORSE
You thought that you knew where I was and when
But it looks like they've been foolin' you again,
You thought that you'd got me all steaked out
But baby looks like I've been breaking out
I'm a dark horse
Running on a dark race course
I'm a blue moon
Since I stepped from out of the womb
I've been a cool jerk
Looking for the source
I'm a dark horse.
You thought you had got me in your grip
Baby looks like you was not so smart
And I became too slippery for you
But let me say that was nothing new.
I'm a dark horse
Running on a dark race course
I'm a blue moon
Since I picked up my first spoon
I've been a cool jerk
Looking for the source
I'm a dark horse
I thought that you knew it all along
Until you started getting me not right
Seems as if you heared a little late
But I warned you when
We both were at the starting gate
I'm a dark horse
Running on a dark race course
I'm a blue moon
Since I stepped from out of the womb
I've been a cool jerk
Cooking at the source
I'm a dark horse.

CRACKERBOX PALACE
I was so young when I was born
My eyes could not yet see
And by the time of my first dawn
Somebody holding me . . . they said
I welcome you to Crackerbox Palace
We've been expecting you
You bring such joy in Crackerbox Palace
No matter where you roam know our love is true
While growing up or trying to
Not knowing where to start
I looked around for someone who
May help reveal my heart - someone said
While you're a part of Cracerbox Palace
Do what the rest all do
Or face the fact that Crackerbox Palace
May have no other choice than to deport you
I welcome you to Crackerbox Palace
We've been expecting you
You bring us joy in Crackerbox Palace
No matter where you roam know our love is true
Sometimes are good . . . sometimes are bad
That's all a part of life
And standing in between them all
I met a Mr. Grief - and he said
I welcome you to Crackerbox Palace
Was not expecting you
Let's rap and tap at Crackerbox Palace
Know that the Lord is well and inside of you
BLOW AWAY
Day turned black, sky ripped apart
Rained for a year 'til it dampened my heart
Cracks and leaks
The floorboards caught rot
About to go down
I had almost forgot.
All I got to do is to love you
All I got to be is, be happy
All it's got to take is some warmth to make it
Blow Away, Blow Away, Blow Away
Sky cleared up, day turned to bright
Closing both eyes now the head filled with light
Hard to remember what a state I was in
Instant amnesia
Yang to the Yin
All I got to do is to love you
All I got to be is, be happy
All it's got to take is some warmth to make it
Blow Away, Blow Away, Blow Away
Wind blew in, cloud was dispersed
Rainbows appearing, the pressures were burst
Breezes a-singing, now feeling good
The moment had passed
Like I knew that it sould
All I got to do is to love you
All I got to be is, be happy
All it's got to take is some warmth to make it
Blow Away, Blow Away, Blow Away

ALL THOSE YEARS AGO
I'm shouting all about love
While they treated you like a dog
When you were the one who had made it
so clear
All those years ago.
I'm talking all about how to give
They don't act with much honesty
But you point the way to the truth when you say
All you need is love.
Living with good and bad
I always look up to you
Now we're left cold and sad
By someone the devil's best friend
Someone who offended all.
We're living in a bad dream
They've forgotten all about mankind
And you were the one they backed up to
the wall
All those years ago
You were the one who imagined it all
All those years ago.
Deep in the darkest night
I send out a prayer to you
Now in the world of light
Where the spirit free of the lies
And all else that we despised.
They've forgotten all about God
He's the only reason we exist
Yet you were the one that they said was
so weird
All those years ago
You said it all though not many had ears
All those years ago
You had controld of our smiles and our tears
All those years ago

Harrison's sweet music
Always in the shadow of Beatles bandmates John Lennon and Paul McCartney, lead guitarist George Harrison's contribution to the band was often overlooked.
But his guitar-playing was credited with defining The Beatles' distinctive sound, and he penned some of the band's most enduring tunes - including Something, Taxman and While My Guitar Gently Weeps.
Something sold more than one million copies when it was released as a single in 1969, reaching number four in the UK singles chart, and other compositions included If I Needed Someone, I Want To Tell You and Within You, Without You.
He was the first Beatle to have a solo number one
His memorable use of the sitar on Norwegian Wood was said to be responsible for introducing the Indian instrument to British pop.
The Indian influence was one that would be present in his music and his life for the rest of his career.
After The Beatles split up, Harrison became the first ex-band member to have a solo number one hit when My Sweet Lord reached the top in Britain and America in 1971.
But the gloss of its success wore off when he was successfully sued for plagiarism by the publishers of The Chiffons' 1964 hit She's So Fine.
The song was taken from the acclaimed triple album All Things Must Pass, made up of unreleased material Harrison had been working on for a number of years.
Next single Bangla Desh was released after a plea from Ravi Shankar to help famine victims in the Indian subcontinent, and was backed by charity concerts featuring Bob Dylan and Eric Clapton.
His next album, Living in the Material World, was not released until 1973 - but spawned the number one US hit Give Me Love (Give Me Peace on Earth).
But from there, his musical career began to lose its way.
Two singles followed in the mid-70s - Ding Dong and You - but only reached number 38 in the UK chart, while a US tour was described as disastrous and a string of albums failed to meet expectations.
In 1980, his record label Warner said his new album Somewhere In England was not good enough - and told him to go back and keep working.
Disappointment
The finished version was approved, and included the track All Those Years Ago, featuring contributions from Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr.
But the disappointment of his follow-up, Gone Troppo, led many to believe his recording career was finished.
After several years of pursuing other projects, he was slowly persuaded back into the recording business - working on a Greenpeace benefit album and a TV tribute to guitarist Carl Perkins, on whom it is said Harrison modelled his style.
Harrison soon rediscovered chart success, hitting number one in the US and number two in the UK with his version of Rudy Clark's Got My Mind Set On You.
Travelling Wilburys
The accompanying album, Cloud Nine, was produced by ELO frontman Jeff Lynne, and saw a return to commercial success for Harrison.
When Harrison and Lynne were working on Harrison's next album in 1988, the only space available to rehearse was Bob Dylan's garage - where they found themselves joined by Dylan, Roy Orbison and Tom Petty.
The five started working together, decided to form a band and called themselves The Travelling Wilburys, with the result being hit single Handle With Care and two albums.
But Beatles royalties meant he was never forced into projects he did not want to do - especially after the releases of 1995's Anthology and 2000's 1 album.
