LYRICS:
(Something’s wrong
Sam says it’s long
The world is wrong
Cooke says it’s long
Come along…)

The halls are quiet
No-one’s home
Mezuzah’s gone
But please don’t tell me

How to think or what to know
It’s all a lie
And people die
But now I see them

They’re on the streets
And in the parks
I feel the sparks
Smell the haze falling .... Down

A hologram of war, pressure in the door
It’s all happening… Now

Got a postcard from tomorrow
Are the crowds still there?
Is the glass still broken?
Lives laying in despair?
Did we chance to show them
That we ever even cared?
Vanished lives on streets are calling
And crying out for air

The sidewalk’s crawling
Requiem en masse
Foggy windows passed
Now much more clearly

The old-world statues
Are coming down
In this free town
A surreal invention

No magic here for us
The way’s not clear
Broken scaffolds here
Lay writhing on the… Ground

My country feels displaced, torn apart by race
How do we change it ....Now?

Got a postcard from tomorrow
Are the crowds still there?
Is the glass still broken?
Lives laying in despair?
Did we chance to show them
That we ever even cared?
Vanished lives on streets are calling
And crying out for air

I smell they’re frightened
Forced curfew on
We’re aren’t alone
And more are coming

The elites are drowning
Huddled like sheep
Sowing what they reap
Threatened in their minds

Ancient ways are fleeting
Manhunting lore
From over before
Falling to the… Sea

No longer we’ll be shamed, we won’t sit in our graves
I feel you with us… Now

Got a postcard from tomorrow
Are the crowds still there?
Is the glass still broken?
Lives laying…
Got a postcard from tomorrow
Are the crowds still there?
Is the glass still broken?
Lives laying in despair?
Did we chance to show them
That we ever even cared?
Vanished lives on streets are calling
And crying out for air

The Girl With The Mechanical Heart

A song relating to Scott Hutchison and his unfortunate loss.

[Lyrics]
Can't be released from this unrelenting strata.
Not even happy,
so explain to me why 
I should be held responsible to see it to its last day
and not decide for myself a time or even a place.

Don't think I'll tell you when it's over.
Don't think I'll tell you when I'm done.

Somebody told me you can't live your life all gloomed out.
No one associates with pessimists or broken men.
So feed on black,
but then spit out for them a rainbow.
Don't have to mean it.
Just clap along and sing loud,

"Isn't everything so wonderful?"
"Doesn't the world just see the good in us?"
"Isn't everything so perfect?"
"Isn't everything just great?"

That frightened rabbit can't be charmed by all your baby talk.
Not unlike the cancer eating away at all your gladness.
I feed on brick
and then you ask from me a soft kiss,
too scared to straighten out the rows of shoes inside there.

"Isn't everything so wonderful?"
"Isn't everything just great?"

I think I'm gonna go away now.
I think I'm gonna take him up on last call.
I think I'm gonna steal my keys back.
I think I'm gonna go and see that bridge.

Yellow Rainbows

I’m away now. Thanks.

Words Underlined

Adrift

A 1979 song by Styx, released on March 16th, 1980. Never featured in the charts in their native US, but reached the top-5 in several European countries.

Boat on the River

MY RATING: 9/10
I don't think my own rating of my covers will ever exceed 9/10 so this one is right at the top. Very happy with it! I think the slow version suits this song better than the original and really draws out the lyrics. This one has almost 60.000 views on Facebook and overwhelmingly positive comments. For which I'm very grateful :) 
Although I've always liked this Harrison song, there are many he wrote that I haven't been keen on. One of the very pleasant surprises of this journey is that all of the ones I have covered so far, that are written by him, have without exception surprised me as I've started playing and singing them. There is always something quite beautiful hidden in them. Having said that, as of this writing, I'm not into the dreadful Indian period :p :) So we'll see...

Original recorded on 11-12th Sept. 1963. Written while ill in a bed in a Bournemouth hotel during The Beatles' residency at the local Gaumont in August 1963 and Harrison's first original song. The song never received positive reviews though.

About #ThatBeatlesGuy Project:

This is a solo project with me covering every single original Beatles track ever made (there are almost 190 of them...).

This involves me arranging, recording, playing all instruments and doing all of the vocals and all of the mixing alone.

I never spend more than one day on each song. So everything you hear is done from nothing to finished in less than 24 hours.
