Come Together. A Hard Day’s Night
Any time at all. Hold Me Tight.
Got To Get You Into My Life.
Because. I’ll Keep You Satisfied.
Hey Jude. I Wanna Be Your Man.
This Boy. I Want to Hold Your Hand.
It Won’t Be Long. Wait, Please Please Me
From Me to You. Help! Let It Be.
I’ve Got a Feeling. I Need You.
Girl. From Me to You. Love Me Do.
Oh! Darling. Things We Said Today.
You’ve Got to Hide Your Love Away.
She’s Leaving Home. I’ll Cry Instead.
The Long and Winding Road. The End.
We Can Work It Out. Tell Me Why.
You Won’t See Me. Hello, Goodbye.
As, A Place in the sun, Village Ghetto Land
Pastime paradise, Land of La La,
Master Blaster, Alfie, Living for the city,
and Part time lover, Faith,
Another star, With a child’s heart,
Used to be, Just good friends
with You and I,
Frankie and Johnny,
Superwoman and Black Man,
Ebony and Ivory,
My Cherie Amour, You are the sunshine of my life,
For once in my life, Golden Lady,
My world is empty without you
Until you come back to me
Outside my window, I’m wondering
How come, how long,
Never dreamt you’d leave in summer
My Love, I don’t know why,
Lately, I wish,
You haven’t done nothin’,
If you really love me,
I believe,
We can work it out.
This day shouldn't be so bleak
Find some strength- don't be so weak
We can work it out if you
Let me in I'll see you through
Whatever the days will bring
Our love can get by anything
I promise we will not fail
We won't sink, our love will sail
Through the stormiest of seas
Holding on tight is the key
Don't let go or we will drown
Together we are safely bound
Tied together we won't break
There is way too much at stake
To break down falling apart
I promised you right from the start
We'd always be tightly tethered
Bound through every kind of weather
Please hold on and don't let go
We'll be each others safety float
Treading the waters of love
Keeping both our hearts above
The deep water we can save
Each other --lets just be brave
Can we let our love seep
Into our hearts where we can keep
Every single heartbeat safe
Locked up tight with no escape
I don't want to lose what's standing
Right in front of me, I'm handing
Over my whole life to you
Where I hope it's turned into
Something more than what it is
Every hug and every kiss
Will not be wasted-- shoved aside
My words are truthful-- not a lie
PLEASE STAY
I’ve grown accustomed to your love;
Don’t leave me now.
I’m sure that we can work it out.
We have to try somehow.
You say I’ve been neglectful
And I admit that it is true.
I’ve been busy building a career
And left no time for you.
So now I’ll make adjustments,
Leave work at five each night
And do whatever’s needed
To get the balance right.
For nothing’s more important
To me than what we share.
So please unpack that suitcase
And tell me you’ll be there.

The phone was attached within the hallway of the house, she told me “We need to talk about something important”, “it’s so important that we need to meet”.
On the middle of the bridge in Thornhill, travelling to school, “I don’t know how to tell you, but I have an STI”. Her mother confirmed it as they had been to the clinic together, it was from me. “It’s ok as my mum and I have sorted it out.”, “better get yourself checked now.”
We had been together for six years, she was bi-sexual, but I didn’t know what that meant. On the bridge I knew that I was dirty, never learnt to wash, I could not even afford my own clothes, but the wind was blowing in my face. “We can work it out”, again “as my mum knows.”.
I forever apologised for two further years. She was my first girlfriend, my first love and they only one I knew. She was the first girl with an imagination.
We can work it out
If not together
And all else fails
Than surely alone
Without suffering the total and
utter indignity
Of our loved one seeing our tears
of pain drain from our red cracked
blistered eyes
Whom will eventually trickle down
either side of our uneven listening faces
That cannot though best we may try to
hide exactly how broken into countless
tiny pieces in actuality it is
Whilst still pretending to carry on
regardless as if we do not have a
care in the world
And that's all well and good as long
as it is day and has not passed over
to night
Because unfortunately sadly then when
we eventually go to bed
The realization comes crashing in that
it is all but you and your head for constant
company
And the pair of you cannot for the life
of you
Work out anything as simple as
1 + 1
Without them never mind you
Submission
Please grant me my submission,
for my great commission,
of crimes in uncertain times.
I think my dear we can work it out,
if you will think about,
the fact I no longer act the lout.

I didn’t walk away from you
I walked away from me
Please don’t ever think it’s easy
It brings me to my knees
There’s not a minute of my day
When you’re not on my mind
This endless heartbreaks never fading
You’re with me all the time
I wanted to be there with you
I wanted to be there with you
When the storms of life are raging
I wanted to be there with you
I wanted to be there with you
When you needed your hand held
Help pick up every broken piece
This has me shattered myself
As you passed me just today
My apprehension grew
Every emotion came flooding back
The hardest part is facing truth
I wanted to be there with you
I wanted to be there with you
I know I’ve never been the one
It was time I faced the truth
It’s not easier but yet somehow
Maybe someday we can work it out
As for me I guess I’m bowing out
It was time I face the truth
I wanted to be there with you
I wanted to be there with you
I know I’ve never been the one
It was time I faced the truth
I know I’ve never been the one
It was time I faced the truth
t’s a little too late with too much hate,
In this world we’re living.
People don’t take the time to hear freedom bells chime,
It’s all taking and no giving.
Now we need a flower child to make it a little better.
Say you’ve paid your dues gonna sing the blues,
That’s what it’s all about.
You say a prayer tonight hoping you’ll see the light,
Then you just scream and shout.
If you know a flower child would you go and get her?
Through thousands of years and millions of tears,
Human respect is stalling.
Because you want you way,got to have it every day,
That is why mankind is falling.
Find us a flower child and send her a letter.
We need to be kind I know the people won’t mind,
They say pray without cease.
So don’t forget the past cause the future won’t last,
All we need is love and peace.
When we find a flower child we can work it out together!

Babe, babe,
It's all winter outside,
Come inside,
It's all winter outside,
We can work it out,
It's all winter outside:
I need you here with me.
It’s all winter outside,
There's no sunshine outside,
Come inside, we can work it out;
I know I did you wrong,
Stayed out late at night,
I want to make it up to you.
Babe, babe,
It's all winter outside,
I've been so selfish,
It's all winter outside,
Spent more time with my friends,
It's all winter outside,
Left you all alone.
It's all winter outside,
Didn't understand your pain,
We fought all the time,
Made our home not a home,
Until the time you left;
There is no woman like you,
I gave it all a blind eye,
And took your love for granted.
Babe, babe,
It's all winter outside,
Let's leave the past behind,
It's all winter outside,
Please give me another chance,
It's all winter outside,
Without you I am feeling the chill.
It's all winter outside,
Can't you feel the frost,
I wasn't sleeping around;
I just want to be back home,
There is no sunshine outside,
Babe, we can work it out.
Believe me when I tell you,
What you're contemplating isn't a cure,
You leave that pain behind,
For your loved ones to endure.
Believe me when I tell you,
Although, you don't trust your mind,
Pause, breathe and talk it out,
It's time to rewind.
Believe me when I tell you,
We can work it out,
I will give you time and listen,
If you need to scream and shout.
Believe me when I tell you,
At the end of the tunnel, there is light,
Don't quit, don't back down,
Together, we can win this fight.
Believe me when I tell you,
You are not on your own,
You're strong, beautiful and more than enough,
You don't have to walk alone.
This day shouldn't be so bleak
Find some strength- don't be so weak
We can work it out if you
Let me in I'll see you through
Whatever the days will bring
Our love can get by anything
I promise we will not fail
We won't sink, our love will sail
Through the stormiest of seas
Holding on tight is the key
Don't let go or we will drown
Together we are safely bound
Tied together we won't break
There is way too much at stake
To break down falling apart
I promised you right from the start
We'd always be tightly tethered
Bound through every kind of weather
Please hold on and don't let go
We'll be each others safety float
Treading the waters of love
Keeping both our hearts above
The deep water we can save
Each other --lets just be brave
Can we let our love seep
Into our hearts where we can keep
Every single heartbeat safe
Locked up tight with no escape
I don't want to lose what's standing
Right in front of me, I'm handing
Over my whole life to you
Where I hope it's turned into
Something more than what it is
Every hug and every kiss
Will not be wasted-- shoved aside
My words are truthful-- not a lie
no doudt
we can work it out
don't be to quick
have war is sick
lets us all
not fall
in the devil trap
let your mind un warp
and flow peace clover
TALK THINGS OVER
"Have you fallen? Fallen out of love. Away from my heart. And far from my soul. So much has changed. It's like we never loved. Never laughed. We've grown so far apart. How did we get here? So distant. So alone. If only there's a way. A way to rewind. Go back in time. We could fix whatever broke us. Heal whatever hurt us. Start over new. Maybe it's possible. Maybe it's true. All it takes is two. Together we can work it out. Just me and you. Are you willing to try? I'll be right here by your side. You don't have to worry. You don't have to stress. A love that once was lost, will soon be found. Are you ready to fall with me? Fall hard and headfirst. Fall right back into love."
She came in through the bathroom window
Because it was something that Paul once said
She changed her name to Lucy, in search of diamonds
But the night sky was way above her head
There is something in the way she moves
Here, There, and Everywhere
She said, She said, Hello Goodbye too many times
On the day I saw her standing there
She's so Beatlesque in the way that she acts
I've got a feeling a day in the life
Of this very extraordinary woman
Would be quite the ticket to ride
I have so often told this woman
Please don't let me down
She says right back to me ever so sweetly
We can work it out
She has the answers to all of life's problems
All you need is love
I ask for an explanation
Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da
She's so Beatlesque in the way that she acts
I've got a feeling a day in the life
Of this very extraordinary woman
Would be quite the ticket to ride
Almost every line is the title to a Beatles song...for you younger generations information...
