The Beatles
Song: While My Guitar Gently Weeps Lyrics

I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
I look at the floor and I see it need sweeping
Still my guitar gently weeps

I don't know why nobody told you
how to unfold you love
I don't know how someone controlled you
they bought and sold you

I look at the world and I notice it's turning
While my guitar gently weeps
With every mistake we must surely be learning
Still my guitar gently weeps

I don't know how you were diverted
you were perverted too
I don't know how you were inverted
no one alerted you

I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
I look at you all
Still my guitar gently weeps

Oh, oh, oh
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
yeah yeah yeah yeah

She's not a girl who misses much
Do do do do do do do do, oh yeah
She's well acquainted with the touch of the velvet hand
Like a lizard on a window pane
The man in the crowd with the multicoloured mirrors
On his hobnail boots
Lying with his eyes while his hands are busy
Working overtime
A soap impression of his wife which he ate
And donated to the National Trust

Down
I need a fix cos I'm going down
Down to the bits that I left uptown
I need a fix cos I'm going down

Mother Superior jump the gun
Mother Superior jump the gun

Happiness is a warm gun (Happiness bang, bang, shoot, shoot)
Happiness is a warm gun, mama (Happiness bang, bang, shoot,
shoot)
When I hold you in my arms (Oo-oo oh yeah)
And I feel my finger on your trigger (Oo-oo oh yeah)
I know no one can do me no harm (Oo-oo oh yeah)
Because happiness is a warm gun, mama (Happiness bang, bang,
shoot, shoot)
Happiness is a warm gun, yes it is (Happiness bang, bang, shoot,
shoot)
Happiness is a warm, yes it is, gun (Happiness bang, bang,
shoot, shoot)
Well, don't you know happiness is a warm gun, mama? (Happiness
is a warm gun, yeah)

Have you seen the little piggies
Crawling in the dirt
And for all the little piggies
Life is getting worse
Always having dirt to play around in.

Have you seen the bigger piggies
In their starched white shirts
You will find the bigger piggies
Stirring up the dirt
Always have clean shirts to play around in.

In their styes with all their backing
They don't care what goes on around
In their eyes there's something lacking
What they need's a damn good whacking.

Everywhere there's lots of piggies
Living piggy lives
You can see them out for dinner
With their piggy wives
Clutching forks and knives to eat their bacon.

[King Crimson]

if John Lennon had recorded all his songs on the WA as a solo record....it would be one of the best rock records ever made.

Paulie turns in a couple stinkers with Martha My Dear (song about a sheep dog?) and the barrelhouse groaner Honey Pie.

at least Honey Pie gave us the parody of it (WIld Honey Pie)....and the Pixies version on the BBC sessions.

but, i agree the WA is one of the all-timers and my favorite Beatles record.

That was one of the first songs I ever learned to play.

Rocky Raccoon is amazing

[Newbomb Turk]

I had The White Album (actual double ALBUM, not a cd) when I was a teenager. Somehow it disappeared. I'd like to know which SOB stole it from me. :mad:

[StoopTroup]

Rocky Raccoon is amazing
http://www.bearcreeksanctuary.com/images/other%20animals/rocky.jpg
Now somewhere in the black mountain hills of Dakota
There lived a young boy named Rocky Raccoon
And one day his woman ran off with another guy
Hit young Rocky in the eye Rocky didn't like that
He said I'm gonna get that boy
So one day he walked into town
Booked himself a room in the local saloon.

Rocky Raccoon checked into his room
Only to find Gideon's bible
Rocky had come equipped with a gun
To shoot off the legs of his rival
His rival it seems had broken his dreams
By stealing the girl of his fancy.
Her name was Magil and she called herself Lil
But everyone knew her as Nancy.
Now she and her man who called himself Dan
Were in the next room at the hoe down
Rocky burst in and grinning a grin
He said Danny boy this is a showdown
But Daniel was hot-he drew first and shot
And Rocky collapsed in the corner.

Now the doctor came in stinking of gin
And proceeded to lie on the table
He said Rocky you met your match
And Rocky said, Doc it's only a scratch
And I'll be better I'll be better doc as soon as I am able.

Only to find Gideon's bible
Gideon checked out and he left it no doubt
To help with good Rocky's revival.

[Tailwind]

I love that album...stinkers and all.

i've still got mine....though i put all the stickers that came with dark side of the moon on it....for some reason. it was the first record i bought with my own money. my uncle gave me DSOM....when i was in about 4th grade....talk about a heavy trip.

[Newbomb Turk]

....talk about a heavy trip.

far out man.

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

"Martha My Dear" is one of my all-time fav Beatle songs. All the above songs mentioned are excellent, and I really like "Bungalow Bill". The only Beatle thing better than the WA is one side of Abbey Road.(the side with "Polythene Pam" on it)

[dolemitesooner]

I don't own abby road this was the first beetles album I bought what else should I get.

[King Crimson]

Wouldja believe.. I AGREE WITH YOU 100% ?!? :D
That Mean Mr Mustard - Polythene Pam....Her Majesty stretch is sublime.

As for WA, I like Glass Onion a lot. But my absolute favorite song on WA is Revolution #1, the laid-back groovy version with the shoo-bee-doo-wahs. Sadly, I have lost that CD ... or my daughters did. :(

Anybody wanna spirit me a copy? PM me and I'll make arrangements. :) (really)

EDIT- Actually, I don't like Martha My Dear that much, but everything else is dead on.

[bri]

Paul is dead...miss him, miss him.

:D

[Newbomb Turk]

o my god.

I disagree - that's not one of their better albums. ;)

[TUSooner]

I don't own abby road this was the first beetles album I bought what else should I get.
Somebody gave AR to my dad (who had no use for it) but I played it til you could see thorugh it. That album was an eye-opener for me and made me a real Beatles fan. Naturally, this all happened as they were breaking up. :(

With the blessing, I will get a picture of me in the crosswalk this summer.

[Tailwind]

Abbey Road is really good, I also like Rubber Soul,Revolver,and Sgt Pepper.

But everyone knew her as Nancy.

My daughter played softball with a girl named Lily McGill; I always called her Nancy. She didn't have a clue, but her mom kinda thought it was funny... a little.

[TUSooner]

Paul is dead...miss him, miss him.

:D
"Well here's another clue for you all...the Walrus was Paul"

[StoopTroup]

Doleo...

You need to see some Beatles Rockumentaries too.

Yellow Submarine, Help, Hard Days Night and Let it be.

Enjoy!

I'd say doleo never ceases to amaze me.

[King Crimson]

"Well here's another clue for you all...the Walrus was Paul"

if you turn Glass Onion up REALLY loud there are two baselines...it's pretty cool....Paulie was great bass player.

also cool, is the cowbell on Everybody's got something to hide...a few of the bell rings are edited out. so it skips a ring or two.

[TUSooner]

Yellow Submarine... Ya might as well "fire one up" for that ;)
Hard Days Night - A pretty darn good movie all around.

Insert transcription of every sound effect and backmask in "Revolution #9" here. :D

Turn me on, dead man....turn me on, dead man....

[TUSooner]

Creme tangerine and montelimat
A ginger sling with a pineapple heart
A coffee dessert--yes you know it's good news
But you'll have to have them all pulled out
After the Savoy truffle.
Cool cherry cream and a nice apple tart
I feel your taste all the time we're apart
Coconut fudge--really blows down those blues
But you'll have to have them all pulled out
After the Savoy truffle.

You might not feel it now
But when the pain cuts through
You're going to know and how
The sweat is going to fill your head
When it becomes too much
You're going to shout aloud
--Creme tangerine.

You know that what you eat you are,
But what is sweet now, turns so sour--
We all know Obla-Di-Bla-Da
But can you show me, where you are?..

Creme tangerine and montelimat
A ginger sling with a pineapple heart
A coffee dessert--yes you know its good news
But you'll have to have them all pulled out
After the Savoy truffle.


The h0rns RAWK on this one.

[King Crimson]

speaking of.....Billy Prestion died. he plays on the Let it Be record.

[dolemitesooner]

I'd say doleo never ceases to amaze me.
Why?

[Tailwind]

Doleo...what made you buy the White Album?

[VeeJay]

http://www.schomakers.com/AppleCD/077774644389backB.jpg

Bought my copy when I was 19 (the double LP).

Still have it.

[dolemitesooner]

I like Imagine by John lennon ...then I heard the grey album which is a mix of the beetles white and Jay-zs black album. And the beetles cuts and mixes I heard I liked. So I bought it.

I know good music

[SoonerInKCMO]

This song is unreal:D :D :D :D
The Beatles
Song: While My Guitar Gently Weeps

Peter Frampton's version pwns!

[dolemitesooner]

Peter Frampton's version pwns!
I doubt it but..... link?

[Tailwind]

Cool! I think you'll like most of the rest of Beatle's stuff too.

[SoonerInKCMO]

I doubt it but..... link?

It's off his 'Now' album... I don't know where it would be online except on iTunes - that's where I got it.

[dolemitesooner]

Cool! I think you'll like most of the rest of Beatle's stuff too.
I don't like some of there poppy ****

[Tailwind]

???

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

Every album from "Rubber Soul" or "Revolver" on to the end of their career as a band was excellent, with a few doubts about the "Let It Be" album. All the stuff they made during that period seemed to get better and better, with "Let It Be" a step backwards, IMO.(the opposite of the career of Elvis Presley, which reached a peak just before he went into the Army) The music he did after 1958 was a shadow of his earlier stuff, IMO.

[85Sooner]

Sgt Pepper is still my Fav

[swardboy]

When I saw the Beatles' on "The Ed Sullivan Show".....I knew something had changed in my little world

[C&CDean]

I'm just happy to see our lad doleo is listening to something besides the usual trash. Good on ya. There's hope yet.......

And my two favorite Beatles albums are Sgt. Peppers and Abbey Road. WA is a very close 3rd. And John Lennon is my least favorite Beatle. There's not a single Lennon/Yoko song I can say I really like. There's tons of McCartney songs I like.

[Pieces Hit]

Turn me on dead man.

[crawfish]

Was the Walrus really Paul? Or was that just in a glass onion?

I'm so confused.

[TUSooner]

When I saw the Beatles' on "The Ed Sullivan Show".....I knew something had changed in my little world
But when I finally heard Abbey Road I realized these were NOT the same Beatles I saw on Ed Sullivan!
And yes, I guess I was in some sort of musical black hole between 1965 and 1969. :rolleyes:

[TexasLidig8r]

The Beatles are....




overrated.




It had to be said.

The Beatles
Song: While My Guitar Gently Weeps Lyrics

I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
I look at the floor and I see it need sweeping
Still my guitar gently weeps

I don't know why nobody told you
how to unfold you love
I don't know how someone controlled you
they bought and sold you

I look at the world and I notice it's turning
While my guitar gently weeps
With every mistake we must surely be learning
Still my guitar gently weeps

I don't know how you were diverted
you were perverted too
I don't know how you were inverted
no one alerted you

I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
I look at you all
Still my guitar gently weeps

Oh, oh, oh
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
yeah yeah yeah yeah

BEST BEATLES SONG EVER!!! Paul was always my favorite (and still is) but George was an amazing song writer too. Just a side note, Eric Clapton played guitar on this song. Later on, Clapton would give a guitar to George for his wife :D

I also think McCartney had the best solo work as well. There is nothing better than Band on the Run!!!

i really like Instant Karma... took me a long time to find it since i thought it was a Beatles song at first

[Jeopardude]

It had to be said.

Huh? You're just wanting a response, little Texas sad boy, right?

[C&CDean]

The Beatles are....




overrated.




It had to be said.

Well, they're certainly no ABBA, but they're pretty danged good.

[VeeJay]

And John Lennon is my least favorite Beatle. There's not a single Lennon/Yoko song I can say I really like.

What!? :confused:

You don't like the soothing sounds of Yoko Ono?

This one, from "Double Fanatsy." Pure musical genius:

Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss me love
Just one kiss, kiss will do
Kiss ,kiss, kiss, kiss me love
Just one kiss, kiss will do

Why death
Why life
Warm hearts
Cold darts

Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss me love
I'm bleeding inside

It's a long, long story to tell
And I can only show you my hell

Touch, touch, touch, touch me love
Just one touch, touch will do
Touch, touch, touch, touch me love
Just one touch, touch will do

Why me
Why you
Broken mirror
White terror

Touch, touch, touch, touch me love
I'm shaking inside

It's that faint, faint sound of the childhood bell
Ringing in my soul

Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss me love
Just one kiss, kiss will do

[yermom]

Well, they're certainly no ABBA, but they're pretty danged good.

i always knew you were a Dancing Queen, Dean

[frankensooner]

wow, thanks Doleo, I have now listened to 23 tracks of the WA next up, Helter Skelter...

Thanks for reminding me how much I love the white album

[crawfish]

Texas is....




overrated.

Yes. Yes it did.

[colleyvillesooner]

Helter Skelter will RYFO!

Just the sight of those lyrics hurts my ears and makes my eyes water.

[frankensooner]

Helter Skelter will RYFO!
I GOT BLISTAS ON MY FINGAS!!!!

[crawfish]

Helter Skelter will RYFO!

Errr...ok. :eek:

[Widescreen]

I can't believe no one has mentioned Everybody Has Something to Hide Except for Me and My Monkey. That song rawks!

Come on, come on. Come on is such a joy!

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

I can't believe no one has mentioned Everybody Has Something to Hide Except for Me and My Monkey. That song rawks!

Come on, come on. Come on is such a joy!OUCH! Least favorite song of the WA. Boy, people sure have different tastes.

[King Crimson]

I can't believe no one has mentioned Everybody Has Something to Hide Except for Me and My Monkey. That song rawks!

I also think McCartney had the best solo work as well. There is nothing better than Band on the Run!!!
when Clapton was in Tulsa scouting musicians for his country album he had George Harrison with him. a friend of a friend is an old Tulsa singer and said he found out one night after they talked to Clapton in a Tulsa bar that outside in the parking lot in his car was one George Harrison. he just didn't want to make a scene. man.:)

[Shamrock]

Back in the USSR was cool. A take off of the Beach Boys ....
