We're gonna play the sue me, sue you blues We're gonna play the sue me, sue you blues Hold the block on money flow Move it into joint escrow Court receiver, laughs, and thrills But in the end we just pay those lawyers theit bills When you serve me And I serve you Swing your partners, all get screwed Bring your lawyer And I'll bring mine Get together, and we could have a bad time We're gonna play the sue me, sue you blues I'm tired of playing the Sue Me, Sue You Blues

    Song: The Light That Has Lighted The World Duration: 3.30 Track No.: 3 Composer: George Harrison Vocals: George Harrison Year: 1973
    Lyrics:
    I've heard how some people, have said that I've changed That I'm not what I was How it really is a shame The thoughts in their heads, Manifest on their brow Like bad scars from ill feelings they themselves arouse So hateful of anyone that is happy or 'free' They live all their lives, without looking to see The light that has lighted the world It's funny how people, just won't accept change As if nature itself - they'd prefer re-arranged So hard to move on When you're down in a hole Where there's so little chance, to experience soul I'm greatful to anyone, that is happy or 'free' for giving me hope while I'm looking to see The light that has lighted the world

    Song: Who Can See It Duration: 3.51 Track No.: 5 Composer: George Harrison Vocals: George Harrison Year: 1973
    Lyrics:
    I've been held up, I've been run down I can see clearly now through those past years, when I played towing the line. I only ask, that what I feel, should not be denied me now, As it's been earned, and I have seen my life belongs to me My love belongs to who can see it I've lived in fear, I've been out there, I've been 'round and seen my share of this sad world And all the hate, that it's stirred I only ask, that what I know, should not be denied me now As it's been learned, And I have seen my life belongs to me My love belongs to who can see it I only ask, that what I feel, should not be denied me now As it's been earned, and I have seen my life belongs to me My love belongs to who can see it. My love belongs to who . . .

    Song: Living In The Material World Duration: 5.30 Track No.: 6 Composer: George Harrison Vocals: George Harrison Year: 1973
    Lyrics:
    I'm living in the material world Living in the material world can't say what I'm doing here But I hope to see much clearer, after living in the material world I got born into the material world Getting worn out in the material world Use my body like a car, Taking me both near and far Met my friends all in the material world Met them all there in the material world John and Paul here in the material world Though we started out quite poor We got 'Richie' on a tour Got caught up in the material world From the Spiritual Sky, Such sweet memories have I To the Spiritual Sky How I pray Yes I pray that I won't get lost or go astray As I'm fated for the material world Get frustrated in the material world Senses never gratified Only swelling like a tide That could drown me in the material world From the Spiritual Sky, Such sweet memories have I To the Spiritual Sky How I pray Yes I pray that I won't get lost or go astray While I'm living in the material world Not much 'giving' in the material world Got a lot of work to do Try to get a message through And get back out of this material world I'm living in the material world Living in the material world I hope to get out of this place by the LORD SRI KRSNA'S GRACE My salvation from the material world Big Ending

    Song: The Lord Loves The One (That Loves The Lord) Duration: 4.34 Track No.: 7 Composer: George Harrison Vocals: George Harrison Year: 1973
    Lyrics:
    The Lord loves the one that loves the Lord And the law says if you don't give, then you don't get loving Now the Lord helps those that help themselves And the law says whatever you do is going to come right back on you We all making out Like we own this whole world While the leaders of nations They're acting like big girls With no thoughts for their God Who provides us with all But when death comes to claim them Who will stand, and who will fall? The Lord loves the one that loves the Lord And the law says if you don't give, then you don't get loving Now the Lord helps those that help themselves And the law says whatever you do is going to come right back on you We all move around, with objectives in mind, to become rich or famous, With our reputations signed, But the few that can reach, to this coveted slot, don't escape old age creeping, through their bodies, like a rot While the Lord loves the one that loves the Lord And the law says if you don't give, then you don't get loving Now the Lord helps those that help themselves And the law says whatever you do is going to come right back on you

    Lyrics:
    Remember, Now, Be Here Now As it's not like it was before. The past, was, Be Here Now As it's not like it was before - it was Why try to live a life, that isn't real, no how A mind, that wants to wander, 'round a corner, is an un-wise mind Now, Is, Be Here Now and it's not what it was before, Remember, Now, Be Here Now as it's not like it was before - it was

    Song: The Day The World Gets 'Round Duration: 2.52 Track No.: 10 Composer: George Harrison Vocals: George Harrison Year: 1973
    Lyrics:
    The day the world gets 'round to understanding where it is, Using all it's found, to help each other, hand in hand The day the world gets 'round to understanding where it's gone Losing so much ground killing each other, hand in hand Such foolishness in man I want no part of their plan - OH NO If you're the destructive kind Now I'm working from day to day As I don't want to be like you I look for the pure of heart And the ones that have made a start, But Lord, there are just a few who bow before you, in silence they pray, Oh how they pray for the day the world gets 'round Using all they've found To help each other, hand in hand The Day The World Gets 'Round

    Song: That Is All Duration: 3.43 Track No.: 11 Composer: George Harrison Vocals: George Harrison Year: 1973
    Lyrics:
    That is all I want to say Our love could save the day That is all I'm waiting for To try to love you more - - and that is all I want to do To get right next to you That is all I'm living for, Your love and nothing more And that is all Times I find it hard to say With useless words getting in my way Silence often says much more Than trying to say what's been said before. That is all I want from you A smile when I feel blue That is all I'm waiting for Your love and nothing more And that is all Silence often says much more Than trying to say what's been said before. But that is all I want to do To give my love to you That is all I'm living for, Please let me love you more - and that is all
