Who Are You (Alt. Version)

Who Are You? .mp3

Who Are You II.mp3

E   D   A    A   E    A  E
Who are you, who who, who who   X 4

        E                D                  A                      C G
        I woke up in the Soho bar when a policeman knew my name. He said,
         E                   D             A                         C G
        "You can go sleep at home tonight if you can get up and walk away."

I staggered back to the underground
And the breeze blew back my hair
I remember throwin' punches around
And preachin' from my chair

[chorus:]
Well, who are you? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
I really wanna know (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
Tell me, who are you? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
'Cause I really wanna know (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)

I took the tube back out of town
Back to the Rollin' Pin
I felt a little like a dying clown
With a streak of Rin Tin Tin

I stretched back and I hiccuped
And looked back on my busy day
Eleven hours in the Tin Pan
God, there's got to be another way

Who are you?
Ooh wa ooh wa ooh wa ooh wa ...

Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?

[chorus]

I know there's a place you walked
Where love falls from the trees
My heart is like a broken cup
I only feel right on my knees

I spit out like a sewer hole
Yet still receive your kiss
How can I measure up to anyone now
After such a love as this?

[chorus]

Breakdown
Written by Alan Parsons and Eric Woolfson
Made famous by The Alan Parsons Project

A                               G
I break down, in the middle and lose my thread,
F                                   A
no one can understand a word that I say
                                     G
When I break down, just a little and lose my head,
F                                     A
nothing I try to do can work the same way

Dm
Any time it happens, I get over it,
C                              A
with a little help from all my friends
Dm 
Anybody else could see what's wrong with me,
C                              A
but they walk away and just pretend
             G
When I break down

A G A  2x

A                               G
I break down, in the middle and lose my thread,
F                                   A
no one can understand a word that I say
                                     G
When I break down, just a little and lose my head,
F                                     A
nothing I try to do can work the same way

Dm
Where are all the friends who used to talk to me,
C                              A
all they ever told me was good news
Dm
People that I've never seen are kind to me,
C                       A
is it any wonder I'm confused?
             G
When I break down, when I break down

Am
Freedom, freedom, we will not obey
G                 Am
Freedom, freedom, take the wall away
Take the wall away
Am
Freedom, freedom, we will not obey
G                 Am
Freedom, freedom, take the wall away

Where are all my friends?

I'm so confused

Take the wall away

Take the wall away

Won't somebody help me?

LYRICS
I don’t know… if for you it comes slow
For me it comes rushing in
Spiritually inspired inspiration
Takes form in creation

A give and take flow
She gives, and I glow

All my show… I’m hoping to grow
Praying I take it all in
Imagination dream injection
Take form in creation

LYRICS
Why?
Did I drop the bomb on Nagasaki
Hugh?
Did ya drop the bomb Hiroshima

Here’s dropping a bomb upon you:

Chorus
Matters what you do
Matters what you don’t
If it impacts me
It will impact you
Don’t say you can’t
When you mean won’t

Did we clone a drone
To assassinate what we hate
Do we drop bombs forgetting
The little children at the wedding

Verse:
G                                    D
I won't take all that they hand me down,

    Am                                   Em
And make out a smile, so I'll wear a frown,

    G                                      D
And I'm not gonna take it all lying down,

    Am                               Em
'Cause once I get started I go to town.

Chorus:
Em                                          D
'Cause I'm not like everybody else,

On The Way.mp3

LYRICS
Start the day in the usual way
Somewhere, somehow it goes astray
Will today be the day
The weak and innocent are O.K.?

All I can say
Hope help is on the way

Going through the day, I say,
“Somewhere, someone diminish dismay”
May it be me, I pray
The meek and decent are O.K.

All I can say
Hope help is on the way

Winding down to the end of the day
What on Earth have you to say
For how the kingdom should pay
Inherit the Earth? Well, O.K.!

All I can say
Help is on the way

I’d say
It’s not that far away
Long as
I don’t go astray
… not that far away

On our way
Supper’s Ready
Blessed day
Hold n’ steady

It’s not that far away

It’s not that far away
Long as
I don’t go astray
