- Come together
- Here come old flattop, he come grooving up slowly
he got joo-joo eyeball, he one holy roller
he got hair down to his knee
got to be a joker he just do what he please.
He wear no shoeshine, he got toe-jam football
he got monkey finger, he shoot coca-cola
he say "I know you, you know me"
one thing I can tell you is you got to be free.
Come together right now over me.
He bag production, he got walrus gumboot
he got Ono sideboard, he one spinal cracker
he got feet down below his knee
hold you in his arms you can feel his disease.
Come together right now over me.
He roller-coaster, he got early warning
he got muddy water, he one mojo filter
he say "One and one and one is three"
got to be good-looking 'cause he's so hard to see
Come together right now over me.John: voz, guitarra rítmica.

- Something in the way she moves
attracts me like no other lover
something in the way she woos me
I don't want to leave her now
you know I believe her now.
Somewhere in her smile she knows
that I don't need no other lover
something in her style that shows me
don't want to leave her now
you know I believe her now.
You're asking me will my love grow
I don't know, I don't know
you stick around now it may show
I don't know, I don't know.
Something in the way she knows
and all I have to do is think of her
something in the things she shows me
don't want to leave her now
you know I believe her now.John: piano.

- Joan was quizzical, studied pataphysical science in the home
late nights all alone with a test-tube, ohh-oh-oh-oh...
Maxwell Edison majoring in medicinem calls her on the phone
can I take you out to the pictures, Joa-oa-oa-oan?
but as she's getting ready to go
a knock comes on the door...
Bang, bang, Maxwell's silver hammer came down upon her head
bang, bang, Maxwell's silver hammer made sure that she was dead.
Back in school again Maxwell plays the fool again teacher gets annoyed
wishing to avoid an unpleasant sce-e-e-ene
she tells Max to stay when the class has gone away, so he waits behind
writing 50 times "I must not be so-o-o-oo..."
but when she turns her back on the boy
he creeps up from behind.
Bang, bang, Maxwell's silver hammer came down upon her head
bang, bang, Maxwell's silver hammer made sure that she was dead.
P.C. Thirty-One said "We caught a dirty one" Maxwell stands alone
painting testimonial pictures ohh-oh-oh-oh
Rose and Valerie screaming from the gallery, say he must go free
the judge does not agree and he tells them so-o-o-oo
but as the words are leaving his lips
a noise comes from behind.
Bang, bang, Maxwell's silver hammer came down upon her head
bang, bang, Maxwell's silver hammer made sure that she was dead.John: coros y guitarra.

in his octopus's garden in the shade.
I'd ask my friends to come and see
an octopus's garden with me
I'd like to be under the sea
in an octopus's garden in the shade.
We would be warm below the storm
in our little hideaway beneath the waves
resting our head on the sea bed
in an octopus's garden near a cave.
We would sing and dance around
because we know we can't be found
I'd like to be under the sea
in an octopus's garden in the shade.
We would shout and swim about
the coral that lies beneath the waves
oh what joy for every girl and boy
knowing they're happy and they're safe.

no one there to tell us what to do
I'd like to be under the sea
in an octopus's garden with you.John: guitarras.

Out of college, money spent
see no future, pay no rent
all the money's gone, nowhere to go
any jobber got the sack
monday morning, turning back
yellow lorry slow, nowhere to go
but oh, that magic feeling, nowhere to go

One sweet dream

protected by a silver spoon
but now she sucks her thumb and wanders
by the banks of her own lagoon.
Didn't anybody tell her?
didn't anybody see?
sunday's on the phone to Monday
tuesday's on the phone to me.
She said she'd always been a dancer
she worked at 15 clubs a day
and though she thought I knew the answer
