Paul McCartney - Assorted Songs

Band on the run


Stuck inside these four walls,
sent inside forever,
never seeing no one nice again
like you, mama,
you, mama,
you.

If i ever get out of here,
thought of giving it all away
to a registered charity,
all i need is a pint a day.
If i ever get out of here,
if we ever get out of here.

Well, the rain exploded with a mighty crash
as we fell into the sun.
And the first one said to the second one there,
"i hope you're having fun!"

band on the run,
band on the run,
and the jailer man and sailor sam,
were searching ev'ryone,
for the band on the run,
band on the run,
for the band on the run,
band on the run.

Well, the undertaker drew a heavy sigh,
seeing no one else had come.
And a bell was ringing in the village square
for the rabbits on the run.

Band on the run,
band on the run,
and the jailer man and sailor sam,
were searching ev'ryone,
for the band on the run,
band on the run.

Yeah, the band on the run,
the band on the run,
the band on the run,
band on the run.

Well, the night was falling as the desert world
began to settle down.
In the town they're searching for us ev'rywhere
but we never will be found.

Band on the run,
band on the run,
and the county judge, who held a grudge,
will search forever more,
for the band on the run,
for the band on the run,
the band on the run, yeah,
the band on the run, yeah.

Live and let die

When you were young
and your heart was an open book,
you used to say live and let live.
You know you did,
you know you did,
you know you did.

But if this ever changing world in which we live in
makes you give in and cry,
say live and let die, (live and let die)
live and let die. (live and let die)

what does it matter to ya?
When you got a job to do you got to do it well.
You got to give the other fella hell!

You used to say live and let live.
You know you did,
you know you did,
you know you did.

But if this ever changing world in which we live in
makes you give in and cry,
say live and let die, (live and let die)
live and let die. (live and let die)

My brave face

my brave, my brave, my brave face. 

I've been living in style, 
unaccustomed as i am 
to the luxury life, 
i've been hitting the town 
and it didn't hit back. 

I've been doing the rounds, 
unaccustomed as i am 
to the time on my hands. 
Now i don't have to tell anybody 
when i'm gonna get back. 

Oh, ever since you went away 
i've had this sentimental inclination 
not to change a single thing. 
As i pull the sheets back on the bed, 
i want to go bury my head in your pillow. 

Now that i'm alone again, i can't stop breaking down again, 
the simplest things set me off again, 
take me to that place 
where i can't find my brave face, 
where i can't find my brave face, 
my brave, my brave, my brave face. 

My brave face.

I've been living a lie, 
unaccustomed as i am 
to the work of the housewife. 
I've been breaking up 
dirty dishes and been throwing them away. 

Oh, ever since you left i have been trying to 
compose a "baby, will you please come home" note 
meant for you. 
As i clear away another untouched tv dinner 
from the table i laid for two. 

Now that i'm alone again, i can't stop breaking down again, 
the simplest things set me off again 
take me to that place. 
Where i can't find my brave face, 
where i can't find my brave face, 
my brave, my brave, my brave face. 

Yeah, yeah.

My brave face.
