THE NIGHT BEFORE

We said our goodbyes (on the night before),
Love was in your eyes
Now today I find, you have changed your mind,
Treat me like you did the night before.
Were you telling lies (on the night before)?
Was I so unwise (on the night before)?
When I held you near, you were so sincere,
Treat me like you did the night before.
Last night is the I will remember you by,
When I think of things you did it makes me wanna cry.

NO REPLY

This happened once before,
When I came to your door, no reply.
They said it wasn't you,
But I saw you peep through your window,
I saw the light, I saw the light,
I know that you saw me,
'Cos I looked up to see your face.
I tried to telephone,
They said that you were not home, that's a lie,
'Cos I know where you've been,
I saw you walk in your door,
I mearly died, I nearly died,
'Cos you walked hand in hand
With another man in my place.
If I were you I'd realize that I
Love you more than any other guy,
And I'll forgive the lies that I
Heard before when you gave me no reply.
I've tried to telephone,
They said you were not home, that's a lie,
'Cos I know where you've been,
I saw her walk in your door,
I nearly died, I nearly died,

With another man in my place.
No reply, no reply.

NORWEGIAN WOOD (THIS BIRD HAD FLOWN)

I once had a girl,
Or should I say
She once had me.
She showed me her room,
Isn't it good?
Norwegian wood.

She asked me to stay and she told me sit anywhere,
So I looked around and I noticed there wasn't a chair.

I sat on a rug
Biding my time,
Drinking her wine.
We talked until two,
And then she said,
'It's time for bed'.

She told me she worked in the morning and started to laugh,
I told her I didn't, and crawled off to sleep in the bath.

And when I awoke
I was alone,
This bird has flown,
So I lit a fire,
Isn't it good?
Norwegian wood.

NOT A SECOND TIME

You know you made me cry,
I see no use in wond'ring why,
I cried for you.
And now, you've changed your mind,
I see no reason to change mine,
I cried, it's through, oh.
Oh, you're giving me the same old line,
I'm wond'ring why,
You hurt me then, you're back again,
No, no, not a second time.
You know you made me cry,
I see no use in wond'ring why,
I cried for you, yeh.
And now, you've changed your mind,
I see no reason to change mine,
I cried, it's through, oh.
Oh, you're giving me the same old line,
I'm wond'ring why,
You hurt me then, you're back again,
No, no, not a second time.

NOWHERE MAN

He's a real Nowhere Man,
Sitting in his Nowhere Land,
Making all his Nowhere plans for nobody.
Doesn't have a point of view,
Knows not where he's going to,
Isn't he a bit like you and me?

Nowhere man please listen,
You don't know what you're missing,
Nowhere Man, the world is at your command.
He's as blind as he can be,
Just sees what he wants to see,
Nowhere Man can you see me at all?

Nowhere Man don't worry,
Take your time, don't hurry,
Leave it all till somebody else,
Lends you a hand.
Doesn't have a point of view,
Knows not where he's going to,
Isn't he a bit like you and me?

Nowhere Man please listen,
You don't know what you're missing,
Nowhere Man, the world is at your command.

Sitting in his Nowhere Land,
Making all his Nowhere plans for nobody.
Making all his Nowhere plans for nobody.
Making all his Nowhere plans for nobody.

OB-LA-DI OB-LA-DA

Molly is a singer in a band.
Desmond says to Molly girl I like your face
And Molly says this as she takes him by the hand.
Ob-la-di Ob-la-da life goes on bra
Lala how the life goes on
Ob-la-di Ob-la-da life goes on bra
Lala how the life goes on
Desmond takes a trolley to the jewellers' stores,
Buys a twenty carat golden ring.
Takes it back to Molly waiting at the door
And as he gives it to her she begins to sing
In a couple of years they have built
A home sweet home
With a couple of kids running in the yard
Of Desmond and Molly Jones.
Happy ever after in the market place
Desmond lets the children lend a hand.
Molly stays at home and does her pretty face
And in the evening she still sings it with the band.
Happy ever after in the market place
Molly lets the children lend a hand.
Desmond stays at home and does his pretty face
And in the evening she's singer with the band.
And if you want some fun take Ob-la-di Ob-la-da.

OCTOPUS´S GARDEN

I'd like to be under the sea in an octopus's garden in the shade,
He'd let us in, knows where we've been, in his octopus's garden in the shade.
I'd ask my friends to come and see an octopus's garden with me.
I'd like to be under the sea in an octopus's garden in the shade.
We would be warm below the storm in our little hide-a-way beneath the waves.
Resting our head on the sea bed in an octopus's garden near a cave.
We would sing and dance around because we know we can't be found.
I'd like to be under the sea in an octopus's garden in the shade.
We would shout and swim about the coral that lies beneath the waves.
Oh what joy for every girl and boy knowing they're happy and they're safe.
We would be so happy, you and me, no-one there to tell us what to do,
I'd like to be under the sea in an octopus's garden with you.

OH! DARLING

Oh! Darling, please believe me
I'll never do you no harm
Believe me when I tell you

Oh! Darling, if you leave me
I'll never make it alone
Believe me when I thank you, ooo
Don't ever leave me alone

When you told me
You didn't need me anymore
Well you know I nearly broke down and cried
When you told me
You didn't need me anymore
Well you know I nearly broke down and died

Oh! Darling, if you leave me
I'll never make it alone
Believe me when I tell you
I'll never do you no harm
Believe me darling

When you told me
You didn't need me anymore
Well you know I nearly broke down and cried
When you told me
You didn't need me anymore
Well you know I nearly broke down and died

Oh! Darling, please believe me

Oh, believe me darling
Believe me when I tell you, ooo
I'll never do you no harm

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.
I'm stepping out this old brown shoe,
Baby I'm in love with you,
I'm so glad you cam 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 ev'ry thoughtless frown,
Got me escaping from this zoo,
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.
If I grow up I'll be a singer,
Wearing rings on every finger,
Not worrying what they or you say.
I'll live and love and maybe some day,
Who knows baby,
You may comfort me.
I may appear to be imperfect,
My love is something you can't reject,
I'm changing faster than the weather,
If you and me should get together,
Who knows baby
You may comfort me.
I want 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,
For your sweet top lip I'm in the queue,
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.

ONE AFTER 909

My baby says she's trav'ling on the One after
Nine-O-Nine.
I said move over honey I'm traveling on that line.
I said move over once, move over twice,
Come on baby don't be cold as ice.
I said I'm trav'ling on the One after Nine-O-Nine.
I begged her not to go and I begged her on my bended knees,
You're only fooling around, you're fooling around with me.
I said move over once, move over twice,
Come on baby don't be cold as ice.
I said I'm trav'ling on the One after Nine-O-Nine.
I've got my bag,
Run to the station.
Railman says you've got the wrong location.
I've got my bag.
Run right home.
Then I find I've got the number wrong,
Well I said I'm trav'ling on the One after
Nine-O-Nine.
I said move over honey I'm traveling on that line.
I said move over once, move over twice,
Come on baby don't be cold as ice.
I said we're trav'ling on the One after
Nine-o,
I said we're trav'ling on the One after
Nine-O,
I said we're trav'ling on the One after
Nine-O-Nine.

ONLY A NORTHERN SONG

If you're listening to this song
You might think the chords are going wrong
But they're not; we just wrote them like that
When you're listening late at might
You may think the band are not quite right
But they are, they just play it like that
It doesn't really matter what chords I play
What words I say or what time of day it is
As it's only a Northern song
It doesn't really matter what clothes I wear
Or how I fare or if my hair is brown
When it's only a Northern song.
If you think the harmony
Is a little dark and out of key
You're correct, there's nobody there.
And I told you there's no one there.
