    Be kindly Wanderer through this Garden's ways.
    Nor let thine indignation prompt thy Hand to cast
    Revengeful Stones.
    Because perchance an Imperfection Thou hast found.
    Some flower laid low or wan;
    Some tree Bearing no Fruit;
    Some scene o'erwrought;
    Some theme thy whim abhors, Some strange defect,
    Thy skill would ne'er Let be.
    The Gardener toiled to make his Garden fair.
    Most for thy Pleasure.

    Song: Simply Shady Duration: 4.38 Track No.: 2 Composer: George Harrison Vocals: George Harrison Year: 1974
    Lyrics:
    Somebody brought the juicer I thought I'd take a sip Came off the rails so crazy My senses took a dip Before the bottle hit the floor And I'd had time to think I was blinded by desire The elephant turned pink The rest is simply shady It's all been done before But it doesn't make life simple That's for sure You may think about a lady Cause yourself a minor war And your life won't be so easy anymore No sooner had I sown it When I began to reap I was torn from shallow water And plunged into the deep And as I started drowning I clung onto a straw That somehow kept me floating While my madness craved for more The rest is simply shady It's all been done and more But it doesn't make life easy That's for sure A pebble in the ocean Must cause some kind of stir And witnessed by the silence Will reach from here to there The action that I've started Sometime I'll have to face My influence in motion Rebounding back through space The rest is simply shady It's all been done before But it doesn't make life simple That's for sure You may think of Sexy Sadie Let her in through your front door And your life won't be so easy anymore

    Song: So Sad Duration: 5.00 Track No.: 3 Composer: George Harrison Vocals: George Harrison Year: 1974
    Lyrics:
    Now the winter has come To eclipse out the sun That has lighted my love for sometime And a cold wind now blows Not much tenderness flows From the heart of someone feeling so tired And he feels so alone With no love of his own So sad, so bad, so sad, so bad While his memory raced With much speed and great haste Through the problems of being there In his heart at arm's length Held within its great strength To ward off such a great despair But he feels so alone With no love of his own So sad, so bad, so sad, so bad Take the dawn of the day And give it away To someone who can fill the part Of the dream we once held Now it's got to be shelved It's too late to make a new start And he feels so alone With no love of his own So sad, so bad, so sad, so bad

    Lyrics:
    Bye bye love Bye bye happiness Hello loneliness I think I'm gonna cry Bye bye love Bye bye sweet caress Hello emptiness I know I'm gonna die Goodbye my love bye bye There goes our lady With a "you know who" I hope she's happy And "old 'Clapper' too" We had good rhythm (and a little slide) Then she stepped in Did me a favour I threw them both out. (MMM) goodbye happiness Hello loneliness I think I'm gonna cry Bye bye my love bye bye (MMM) bye bye love (MMM) It's gonna be a raining out of doors (MMMM) hello happiness (MMM) Goodbye my love goodbye Now I'm into romance I shy away from love Got tired of ladies (ooh ooh) That plot and shove me And that's the reason We all can (see) so clearly They see that our lady Is out on a 'spree' Bye bye love Bye bye happiness Hello loneliness Think I'm gonna cry Bye bye love Bye bye happiness Hello emptiness

    Song: Dark Horse Duration: 3.54 Track No.: 7 Composer: George Harrison Vocals: George Harrison Year: 1974
    Lyrics:
    You thought that you knew where I was and when But it looks like they've been foolin' you again, You thought that you'd got me all steaked out But baby looks like I've been breaking out I'm a dark horse Running on a dark race course I'm a blue moon Since I stepped from out of the womb I've been a cool jerk Looking for the source I'm a dark horse. You thought you had got me in your grip Baby looks like you was not so smart And I became too slippery for you But let me say that was nothing new. I'm a dark horse Running on a dark race course I'm a blue moon Since I picked up my first spoon I've been a cool jerk Looking for the source I'm a dark horse I thought that you knew it all along Until you started getting me not right Seems as if you heared a little late But I warned you when We both were at the starting gate I'm a dark horse Running on a dark race course I'm a blue moon Since I stepped from out of the womb I've been a cool jerk Cooking at the source I'm a dark horse.

    Song: Far East Man Duration: 5.52 Track No.: 8 Composer: George Harrison, Ron Wood Vocals: George Harrison Year: 1974
    Lyrics:
    While the world wages war It gets harder to see Who your friends really are I won't let him down Got to do what I can I won't let him drown He's a far east man All these ups and those downs Makes me question what love is Is it a lie or worthwile I won't let him down Got to do what I can I won't let him drown He's a far east man Sometime is so short But it takes so long Wondering if it is Or if I'm wrong Even then my heart seems To be the one in charge Can only do what it tells me We can't let them down We've got to do what we can We can't let him drown He's a far east man Looks like right here on earth God, it's hellish at times But I feel that a heaven's in sight And I can't let hin down Got to do what I can I can't let him drown He's a far east man
