I got the pressure, pressure, pressure
Pressure, pressure,
pressure, I got the pressure
I got the
pressure
I got the pressure
Pressure from above
Pressure from below
I can't think straight
Or even go with the flow
Ah, ah, ah (ahhh, oooh)
I got the pressure on
Analysts here, therapists there
You ain't getting me sitting in your chair
Ah, ah, ah (ahhh, oooh)
I got the pressure on
The price
is not right
Or open to debate
Besides I'm worried about my weight
Ah, ah, ah (ahhh, oooh)
I got the pressure on
It's a signal, it's a sign
It's a symptom of the time
It's a warning, it's a gauge
It's a feature of the age
Politics, schmolitics
I'm developing tics, clean out of tricks
Like a skin flick, just a little slick
So where's the kick?
(Ahhh, oooh)
I got the pressure on
I think about you, I think about me
We grew up but we don't feel free
Is this where we want to be
It's not you (ahhh, oooh), it's gotta be me
It's a signal, it's a sign
It's a symptom of the time
It's a warning, it's a gauge
It's a feature of the age
Pressure, pressure, pressure
It's a signal, it's a sign
It's a symptom of the time
It's a warning, it's a gauge
It's a feature of the age
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah
(Ah, ah, ah, ah) I got the pressure on
(Ah, ah, ah, ah) I got the pressure on
(Ah, ah, ah, ah) I got the pressure on me

Lyrics:
Used to think I was a loser
And all I did was bound to fail
To be a shaker and a mover
Keep the bad guys off your tail
Everybody wanna get to the top of the heap sometime (the top of
the heap)
Everybody wanna climb to the top of the hill sometime (the top of
the hill)
Everybody gotta take a little piece of the heat sometime (a piece
of the heat)
Everybody gotta stand on their own two feet sometime
And I mean you, and I mean you
And I mean you, and I mean you
Believe in yourself, nobody else
Everybody wants a shot at a lick of the cream sometime (a lick of
the cream)
Everybody wanna go, make a bit of a show sometime (a bit of a
show)
Everybody need a chance, tap into the flow sometime
Everybody wanna trip, get a crack of the whip sometime
And I mean you, and I mean you
And I mean you, and I mean you
Believe in yourself, nobody else
And I mean you, and I mean you
And I mean you, and I mean you
People with problems
People on streets
People down your way
People you meet
Believe in yourself
Believe in yourself
Believe (bus conductors) in (people on trams) yourself (Welshmen
and sheep, clamps)
Believe (lepidopterists) in (collectors of stamps) yourself
(leopards with spots on, tramps)
I mean you (space wasting journalists), I mean you (people in far
flung posts)
I mean you (unpleasant neighbours), I mean you (ghosts)
I mean you (Duane Eddy), and I mean you (lawyers with fees)
And I mean you (Elvis), and I mean you (deciduous trees)
And I mean you (bosses), and I mean you (pets)
And I mean you (nurses, vets)

You (Elsie), you (Stan)
I believe (mother, Desperate Dan)

Lyrics:
Same cycle happen every day
Same characters, same play
My game plan's become clear
Gotta find a way out of here
There ain't no place to run
No welcome mat in my home
No love here, no life
He want a punch bag, not a wife
You can't hurt me now
You can't hurt me now
You can't hurt me now
I'm gone from you
You can't hurt me now
You can't hurt me now
You can't reach me where
I'm gone to
I surrender
I surrender
No hope left, just pain
Whisky on his breath, violence in his brain
Scared kids, with scarred minds
Surrender reason, love is blind
Surrender life, surrender love
Surrender belief in God above
Surrender hope, bow down to fear
Surrender life, there ain't much here
You can't hurt me now
You can't hurt me now
You can't hurt me now
I'm gone from you
You can't hurt me now
You can't hurt me now
You can't reach me where
I'm gone to
I surrender
I surrender

You can't reach me, you can't reach me

Lyrics:
I said a hey Michael Jackson and the
politician
You wanna get out on the street and see what you can
I said a hey Mr President and senators too
I said a Mr Prime Minister it's good for you
I said all the Queen's women and all the Queen's men
Better get it together 'cos its real broken
I said a whatta you need is a lesson in reality
Because the way it stands you're a real liability
Get out and meet people on streets
Get out and meet people on streets
You know and I know we're brothers in time
You know that truth is the right of mankind
I said a hey all you music stars and DJ's too
You'd better get real quick or it's up for you
And you quiz show hosts who think you're so fine
You talk to people like they're stupid and a waste of your time
And all you movie stars who think you're so cool
Maybe you're time is up and it's time for the truth
There's a lot of lessons needed in humility
Because the way it stands you're a real liability
Get out and meet people on streets
Get out and meet people on streets
You know and I know we're brothers in time
You know that justice is for all mankind
I said a hey Madonna and Roseanne Barr
Well you think that you're big, you're too big by far
If you think that you're important in the scheme of things
You'd better get real quick 'cos reality stinks
I said a hey Ayatollah you're a real big cheese
However much you talk it's just words in the breeze
If you're one of the people can't you prove it's true
Get out on the street and let reality come to you
Get out and meet people on streets
Get out and meet people on streets
You know and I know we're brothers in time
You know that justice is for all mankind
Get out and meet (you know and I know) people on streets (we're
brothers in time)
Get out and meet (you know that justice) people on streets (is
for all mankind)
Get out and meet (you know and I know) people on streets
Get out and meet (you know that justice) people on streets (is
for all mankind)
Get out and meet (you know and I know) people on streets
Get out and meet (you know that justice) people on streets (is
for all mankind)
You know and I know people on streets
Get on meet people on streets

The
Whisperers
Track 6. Written by Roger
Taylor and Nicholas Evans. Album version 6:03
Additional
Musicians:
Keith Prior (Drums), Matt Exelby (Guitars), Jonathan Perkins
(Keyboards)
Lyrics:
Between men, between horses there is mistrust and fear
And it's only got deeper with the passing of years
We know this from paintings, we know this from books
Some men had real magic while others just took
There were gypsies and showmen, and charlatan shamans
There were men who could softly whisper the devils away
John Solomon Rary tamed a horse of the Queen
Laid it down on the ground
Then he lay down beside it, put his head on it's hooves
You can imagine the scene
For secrets uttered softly into pricked and troubled ears
These men were known as whisperers
These men were known as whisperers
An Indian charm bought for the price of a meal
Was the secret of Sullivan that died with him for real?
We know this from paintings, we know this from books
Some men had real magic while others just talked
For secrets uttered softly to soothe all troubled fears
These men were known as whisperers
These men were known as whisperers
(Softly spoken secrets live in)
(Troubled fears are disappearing)
(With the passing of each year)
For secrets uttered softly to soothe all troubled fears
These men were known as whisperers
For secrets uttered softly into pricked and troubled ears
These men were known as whisperers
(Can you hear the whisperers)
These men were known as whisperers
(Can you hear the whisperers)
These men were known as whisperers
(Can you hear the whisperers)
These men were known as whisperers
(Can you hear the whisperers)
These men were known as whisperers

Lyrics:
So lonely, I'm so lonely
Is it me? Or is it you?
And I feel
And I feel
And I feel
So lonely
Only lonely
Without you
How many times must I sit by the phone
Must I feel so alone, must I stay in at home
I feel lonely
How many times can we patch up a fight
Can we stay home at night, try to keep out of sight
I feel blue
How many times can we drive ourselves mad
End up just feeling sad with a love turning bad
I'm so lonely
Only lonely
A without you
And I feel
And I feel
And I feel
So lonely, I'm so lonely
Is it me? Or is it you?
And I feel
And I feel
And I feel
So lonely
Only lonely
Without you
How many tears must we cry in the night
Must we needlessly fight
Can't see no light
There's no hope left
How many pleas does it take to appease
When you're down on your knees
Seems that nothing can please
So hopeless
How many storms can the two of us take
When there's so much at stake
Something must break
No rope left
A hopeless home left
Without you
And I feel
And I feel
And I feel
So lonely
Feel so lonely
Is it me now?
Or is it you?
And I feel
And I feel
And I feel
So lonely
Lonely only
A without you
And I feel
And I feel
And I feel
So lonely
Is it me?
Or is it you?

Lyrics:
From the stairway to heaven to the
laughing gnome
It's a mighty long way down rock 'n' roll
We got no more, no more fun
Age before beauty, pearls before swine
And whatever happened to the wild, wild times
From the Memphis God to the Liverpool boys
And the guitar kings made a lot of noise
We got no more, no more fun
No more fun
We got no more, no more fun
No more fun
I said age before beauty pearls before swine
Whatever happened to the wild, wild times
No more fun
And they were dressing like hookers
And they were dressing like queens
It had nothing to do with New Orleans
We got no, no more, no more fun
No more fun
We got no, we got no, no more fun
No more fun
It don't seem like fun and it ain't necessary
Never wanted to be no shorthand secretary
Now they're punching their keyboards, kiss their machines
It ain't got much soul and it's squeaky clean
We got no, we got no, no more fun
No more fun
We got no more, no more fun
We got no more, no more fun
No more fun, no more fun, no more fun
No more fun, no more fun, no more fun
No more fun, no more fun, no more fun
No more fun, no more fun, no more fun
No more fun, no more fun, no more fun
No more fun, more fun, no more fun
No more fun, no more fun, no more fun
No more fun, no more fun, no more fun

Lyrics:
Don't have much education
Not much anyhow
Just believed what they told me
And oooeee, look at me now
Must be more to life than this bum deal
Some direction somehow
Some kind of a reason
Yeah, I wanna know
Tell me where are you now
Tell me where are you now
Don't have much of religion
Not much anyhow
Don't have much to look up to
We killed all your sacred cows
Just trying to file a flight plan
Need some direction, need it now
Some kind of a reason
Yeah, I wanna know
Tell me where are you now (that we need you)
Tell me where are you now
You don't have to be, you don't have to seem
You don't have to scream, for any big deal, for yourself
You don't have to bleed, you don't have to believe
You don't have to pretend to know what's right
Or what's real
Tell me where are you now (we need you)
Where are you now
Tell me where are you now
Tell me where are you now (that we need you)

Original version recorded by John Lennon, an album track only,
1970.

Lyrics:
As soon as you're born, they make you
feel small
By giving you no time instead of it all
'Til the pain is so big you feel nothing at all
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
They hurt you at home and they hit you at school
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool
'Til you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years
Then they expect you to pick a career
When you can't really function you're so full of fear
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV
And you think you're so clever and classless and free
But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
There's room at the top they are telling you still
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill
If you want to be like the folks on the hill
A working class hero is something to be
Yes, a working class hero is something to be
If you want to be a hero then just follow me
If you want to be a hero then just follow me

(words in italics are
spoken and taken from 'London Fantasy' by Mervyn Peake, words in
red are missing from the single version)
I got it down, I got it down
I got it down in London Town
I got it down, I got it down
I got it down in London Town
Dig this and dig that
Dig the thin and dig the fat
Dig the boys and dig the girls
Dig the straights and dig the curls
Dig the future, dig the past
Dig the audience and cast
Dig the sights, dig the sounds
Yeah, dig this London Town
C'mon down (c'mon down)
To London Town
C'mon down (c'mon down)
To London Town (to London Town)
Electric light surrounding me
Feel the electricity
Feeling up, getting higher
Feed on my electric fire
If you wanna get up, you gotta go down
Get your fix on London Town
So c'mon down
To London Town
C'mon down (c'mon down)
To London Town
C'mon down (c'mon down)
To London Town (to London Town)
C'mon down, I got it down, I got it down in London Town
I got it down, I got it down, I got it down in London Town
I got it down
I got it down
I got it down
I got it down
I got it down
I got it down, I got it down, I got it down in London Town
I got it
down, I got it down
I got it down, I got it down
I got it down, I got it down
Down
But for the fact that the eye can cease to
respond
The brain to absorb, the heart to miss a beat
The spirit to launch itself at hazardous speculation
That surely the weird creatures that make up
This dark hive called London, or for that matter the world
It would lie spread before us every day such it seemed
It haunts the brains of magnates
The delirium of heads and brains and hands
The camalcade hardly to be suffered
The very implessness of its inventive fantasy
C'mon down
C'mon down
Come on down
C'mon down
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on
C'mon down
Come on
Come on down
Come on down
Clay miracles float by in a hundred lights
The eyes of constellations swarm through London
Sight becomes cluttered, there is no end to it
Beneath the electric glare and the fog
In downpouring sunlight and fire light
In wind and sun rise are at dusk
There is no end
One night stand
Keep
A Knockin'
