    Note: The songs listed below are only available as single versions. They are not included on the album in any vesion. I will add a more complete list of the singles later, because most of the lyrics for the singles can be found in the album section.

    Also: Except for Lay His Head and Zig Zag, I have not heard the songs, so the lyrics might be missing verses. Most of the lyrics are taken out of I Me Mine.

    Lyrics:
    I'm thinking about the times you drove in my car I'm thinking that I might have drove you too far I'm thinking of the love That you laid on my table I told you not to wander 'round in the dark I told you 'bout the swans that they live in the park Then I told you about 'our kid' Now he's married to Mabel Yes I told you that the life goes up and down Notice how the wheel goes round? And you'd better pick yourself up from the ground Before they bring the curtain down Yes before they bring the curtain down Talking about a girl that looks quite like you She didn't have the time to wait in the queue She cried away her life since she fell out the cradle [*]

    Song: Deep Blue Duration: . Track No.: . Composer: George Harrison Vocals: George Harrison Year: .
    Lyrics:
    When sunshine is not enough To make me feel bright It's got me suffering in the darkness That's so easy come by on the road-side Of one loong life-time It's got me deep blue You know I'm deep blue When you stand there, watch tired bodies Full of sickness and pain To show you just how helpless you really are When you get down to the truth It hurts me It's got me deep blue You know I'm deep blue When I think of the life I'm living Pray God help me; give me your light So I can love you and understand This repetition that keeps me here Feeling deep blue It's got me deep blue You know I'm deep blue [*]

    Lyrics:
    (Speech:) "OK here we go, for this We got a B-side to make, ladies and gentlemen, we haven't got much time now so we better get right on with it" I don't care anymore And I'll kick down anybody's door To hold you in my arms once more I'd go anywhere Y'know I don't care If your man should get uptight 'Cause we've been alone for most of the night Now realize it's our right To get back up them stairs Y'know I don't care There's a line I can draw That often leaves me wanting more But it's not so often that I feel so sure Nothing I can do To stop me falling more in love with you It can't be so bad What you want that you do not have It's got you too upset now I don't think it's unfair Y'know I don't care Anymore And I'll kick down anybody's door To hold you in my arms once more I'd go anywhere Y'know I (Very nice, Tony)

    Song: I Don't Want To Do It Duration: . Track No.: . Composer: . Vocals: . Year: .
    Lyrics:
    Looking back upon my youth-- The time I always knew the truth. I don't want to do it. I don't want to say goodbye. To go back in the yard and play-- If I could only have another day. I don't want to do it. I don't want to make you cry. To go back On the hill beside the track And try to concentrate. All in all the places that I want to be, No, it shows you that I could not wait. So come back into my arms again. This love of ours, it has no end. I don't want to do it. I don't want to make you cry. I don't want to do it. I don't want to say goodbye. I don't want to do it. I don't want to see you cry. To go back On the hill beside the track And try to concentrate. All in all the places that I want to be, No, it shows you that I could not wait. So come back into my arms again. This love of ours, it has no end. I don't want to do it. I don't want to say goodbye. I don't want to do it. I don't want to say goodbye. I don't want to do it. I don't want to make you cry. [*]

    Song: Lay His Head Duration: . Track No.: . Composer: George Harrison Vocals: George Harrison Year: .
    Lyrics:
    I know that I seem strange to you sometimes And who is it in here, you have often thought But what can I tell you That you don't know already? Yes, even the times like this Will roll away But I love you (I love you) I love you (I love you) That's all that I ever really wanted I know that it will work out all the same And whoever it is in here can overcome the pain A true friend's shoulder to lean on I'll make it through And over and over I feel for you But I love you (I love you) I love you (I love you) That's all that I ever really wanted Oh yeah, you know that sometimes a man He has nowhere to lay his head But what can I tell you That you don't know already? Yes, even the worst time like this Will blow away But I love you (I love you) I love you (I love you) That's all that I ever really wanted Oh yeah, you know that sometimes a man He has nowhere to lay his head, nowhere, I said nowhere Nowhere to lay his head Oh what can I tell you That you don't know already?

    Song: Miss O'Dell Duration: . Track No.: . Composer: George Harrison Vocals: George Harrison Year: .
    Lyrics:
    I'm the only one down here Who's got nothing to say About the war Or the rice That keeps going astray on its way to Bombay. And the smog that keeps polluting up our shores Is boring me to tears. Why don't you call me, Miss O'Dell? I'm the only one down here Who's got nothing to fear From the waves Or the night That keeps rolling on right up to my front porch. The record player's broken on the floor, And Ben, he can't restore it. Miss O'Dell. I can tell you Nothing new Has happened since I last saw you. And I'm the only one down here Who's got nothing to say About the hip Or the dope Or the cat with most hope to fill the Fillmore. And your pushing, shoving, ringing on my bell Is not for me tonight. So, won't you call me, Miss O'Dell? Won't you call me, Miss O'Dell? [*]

    Song: Sour Milk Sea Duration: . Track No.: . Composer: George Harrison Vocals: George Harrison Year: .
    Lyrics:
    If your life's not right, doesn't satisfy you Don't get the breaks like some of us do Better work it out; find where you've gone wrong Better do it soon as you don't have long Get out of Sour Milk Sea You don't belong there Get back to where you should be Find out what's going on there If you want the most from everything you do In the shortest time your dreams come true In no time at all it makes you more aware Very simple process takes you there Get out of Sour Milk Sea You don't belong there Get back to where you should be Find out what's going on there Looking for release from limitation? There's nothing much without illumination Can fool-around with every different cult There's only one way brings result Get out of Sour Milk Sea You don't belong there Get back to where you should be Find out what's going on there [*]

    Song: Sunshine Life For Me (Sail Away Raymond) Duration: . Track No.: . Composer: George Harrison Vocals: . Year: .
    Lyrics:
    It's sunshine life for me If I could get away from this cloud over me Seems to just follow me around There's a good life had for free When you're out in the country That's what I could use If I could get away there soon It's a sunshine life for me If I could get away from this cloud over me Seems to just follow me around There's a good life had at sea If you're not in the Navy That's the life for you Sail away Raymond, Sail away Now most folks just bore me Always imposing, and I'd rather meet a tree Somewhere out in the cornfield And it's a sunshine . . . It's a sunshine life for me If I could get away from this cloud over me Seems to just follow me around [*]
