LETRA

Don´t pass me by

DON'T PASS ME BY
By Richard Starkey

I LISTEN FOR YOUR FOOTSTEPS COMING UP THE DRIVE,
LISTEN FOR YOUR FOOTSTEPS, BUT THEY DON'T ARRIVE.
WAITING FOR YOUR KNOCK, DEAR, ON MY OLD FRONT DOOR;
I DON'T HEAR IT.
DOES IT MEAN YOU DON'T LOVE ME ANYMORE?

I HEAR THE CLOCK A-TICKING ON THE MANTLE SHELF
I SEE THE HANDS A-MOVING, BUT I'M BY MYSELF.
I WONDER WHERE YOU ARE TONIGHT AND WHY I'M BY MYSELF;
I DON'T SEE YOU.
DOES IT MEAN YOU DON'T LOVE ME ANYMORE?

DON'T PASS ME BY,
DON'T MAKE ME CRY,
DON'T MAKE ME BLUE,
'CAUSE YOU KNOW, DARLING, I LOVE ONLY YOU.
YOU'LL NEVER KNOW IT HURTS ME SO,
HOW I HATE TO SEE YOU GO;
DON'T PASS ME BY,
DON'T MAKE ME CRY.
YEAH!
DON'T MAKE ME BLUE.

I'M SORRY THAT I DOUBTED YOU, YOU WAS SO UNFAIR.
YOU WERE IN A CAR CRASH AND YOU LOST YOUR HAIR. (oh no!)
YOU SAID THAT YOU'D BE LATE, ABOUT AN HOUR OR TWO,
WELL, THAT'S ALRIGHT, I'M WAITING HERE,
JUST WAITING TO HEAR FROM YOU.

DON'T PASS ME BY,
DON'T MAKE ME CRY,
DON'T MAKE ME BLUE,
'CAUSE YOU KNOW, DARLING, I LOVE ONLY YOU.
YOU'LL NEVER KNOW IT HURTS ME SO,
HOW I HATE TO SEE YOU GO;
DON'T PASS ME BY,
DON'T MAKE ME CRY,
DON'T MAKE ME BLUE.

DON'T PASS ME BY,
DON'T MAKE ME CRY,
DON'T MAKE ME BLUE, (don't make me blue)
'CAUSE YOU KNOW, DARLING, I LOVE ONLY YOU. (I love you)
YOU'LL NEVER KNOW IT HURT ME SO,
HOW I HATE TO SEE YOU GO - ;
DON'T PASS ME BY,
DON'T MAKE ME CRY,
DON'T PASS ME BLUE.

Thank you!
Very nice indeed. Thank you.
I even saw some youngsters on the front singing it.

Aah..."Back Off Boogaloo"
Not yet! Not yet! I've got a story!
This one came about in a dream....came about because Marc Bolan was a good friend of mine,
from T.Rex...yeah, God bless him!.
And he came for dinner one night and Marc was just an energized guy, full of it...
Anyway, came for dinner, or hanging out, sit around, and he used to speak like "ooh back off boogaloo", "ooyoo booboo"
was all that "back off boogaloo"
- "Do you want some potatoes?" - "ooboo boogaloo!"
And..ha, ha, so, you know, he left and I went to bed that night, you know, you're getting to that like weird zone
when you're not quite asleep and you're not really awake and this thing started coming from like the back of my...
I was singing "back off boogaloo, I said, back off boogaloo, I said, back off boogaloo"
This is without drugs! Ha! ha!
And...so I gotta get up, I gotta get up and put this, this bit down, you know, I really loved it, but the problem was that
I ran downstairs to put it on on a taperecorder and every damn taperecorder was broken, no batteries,
I had no batteries, the real ones, you know, it was just a mess.
But the worst thing that was happening, as I was trying to keep that melody in my mind.."back off boogaloo"
something was really going weird because it was turning into (hums "Mack The Knife")
I said "No! No! Not Mack The Knife! No!"
I was like "Back off Boogaloo"...where's the tape?
So anyway, I stole batteries from the kids toys and in the end I got it down
