Stuck Inside These Four Walls, Sent Inside Forever,
Never Seeing No One Nice Again Like You,
Mama You, Mama You.
If I Ever Get Out Of Here,
Thought Of Giving It All Away
To A Registered Charity.
All I Need Is A Pint A Day
If I Ever Get Out Of Here.
Well, The Rain Exploded With A Mighty Crash As We Fell Into The Sun,
And The First One Said To The Second One There I Hope You're Having Fun.
Band On The Run, Band On The Run.
And The Jailer Man And Sailor Sam Were Searching Every One
For the band on the run, Band on the run, Band on the run, Band on the run
Well, The Undertaker Drew A Heavy Sigh Seeing No One Else Had Come,
And A Bell Was Ringing In The Village Square for the rabbits on the run.
Band On The Run, Band On The Run.
And The Jailer Man And Sailor Sam, were searching every one
For the band on the run, Band on the run, Band on the run, Band on the run
Well, The Night Was Falling As The Desert World began To Settle Down.
In The Town They're Searching For Us Every Where, but We Never W Ill Be Found.
Band on the run, Band on the run
And The County Judge, who held a grudge
Will search for evermore
For the band on the run, Band on the run, Band on the run, Band on the run

Jet
(Jet, Jet)
(Jet) I can almost remember their funny faces
That time you told them you were going to marrying soon
And Jet I thought the only lonely place was on the moon
(Jet, Jet)
Jet was your father as bold as the sergeant major
How come he told you that you were hardly old enough yet
And Jet I thought the major was a lady suffragette
(Jet, Jet)
Ah mater want Jet to always love me
Ah mater want Jet to always love me
Ah mater, much later
(Jet)
And Jet I thought the major was a lady suffragette
(Jet, Jet)
Ah mater want Jet to always love me
Ah mater want Jet to always love me
Ah mater, much later
Jet with the wind in your hair
Of a thousand laces
Climb on the back and we'll go for a ride in the sky
And Jet I thought that the major was a little lady suffragette
(Jet, Jet)
And Jet you know I thought you was a little lady suffragette
(Jet)
A little lady
My little lady, yes
(Jet) I can almost remember their funny faces
That time you told them you were going to marrying soon
And Jet I thought the only lonely place was on the moon
(Jet, Jet)
Jet was your father as bold as the sergeant major
How come he told you that you were hardly old enough yet
And Jet I thought the major was a lady suffragette

Ah mater want Jet to always love me
Ah mater want Jet to always love me
Ah mater, much later

Ah mater want Jet to always love me

(Jet)
A little lady
My little lady, yes

Mrs. Vanderbilt
Down in the jungle living in a tent
You don't use money you don't pay rent
You don't ever know the time
But you don't mind
Ho hey ho...
When your light is on the blink
You never think of worrying
What's the use of worrying?
When your bus has left the stop
You'd better drop your hurrying
What's the use of hurrying?
Leave me alone mrs vandebilt
I've got plenty of time of my own
What's the use of worrying?
What's the use of hurrying?
What's the use of anything?
Ho hey ho...
What's the use of worrying?
What's the use of hurrying?
What's the use of anything?
Ho hey ho...
When your pile is one the wane
You don't complain of robbery
Run away don't bother me
What's the use of worrying?
What's the use of anything?
Leave me alone mrs washington
I've done plenty of time on my own
What's the use of worrying?
What's the use of hurrying? (no use!)
What's the use of anything?
Ho hey ho...
You don't use money you don't pay rent
You don't ever know the time
But you don't mind
Ho hey ho...
When your light is on the blink

Let Me Roll It
You gave me something, i understand,
You gave me loving in the palm of my hand
I can't tell you how i feel
My heart is like a wheel
Let me roll it
Let me roll it to you
Let me roll it
Let me toll it to you
I want to tell you
And now's the time
I want to tell you that
You're going to be mine
I can't tell you how i feel
My heart is like a wheel.
Let me roll it
Let me roll it to you
Let me roll it
Let me roll it to you
You gave me loving in the palm of my hand
I can't tell you how i feel

Mamunia
Mamunia mamunia mamunia
Oh oh oh
Mamunia mamunia oh oh oh oh
The rain comes falling from the sky,
To fill the stream that fills the sea
And that's where life began for you and me
So the next time you see rain it ain't bad,
Don't complain it rains for you,
The next time you see l.a. rainclouds,
Don't complain it rains for you and me
Mamunia...
It might have been a bright blue day
But rainclouds had to come this way
They're watering everything that they can see.
A seed is waiting in the earth
For rain to come and give him free,
So the next time you see l.a. rainclouds
Don't complain, it rains for you.
So lay down your umbrellas
Strip off your plastic macs.
You've never felt the rain my friend,
Till you've felt it running down your back
So the next time you see rain, it ain't bad
Don't complain, it rains for you.
The next time you see l.a. rainclouds
Don't complain it rains for you and me.
Mamunia...
Oh oh oh
Mamunia mamunia oh oh oh oh
The rain comes falling from the sky,
To fill the stream that fills the sea
And that's where life began for you and me
So the next time you see rain it ain't bad,
Don't complain it rains for you,
The next time you see l.a. rainclouds,
Don't complain it rains for you and me

No Words
You want to give your love away
And end up giving nothing
I'm not surprised, that your black eyes
Are gazing.
You say that love is everything
And what we need the most of
I wish you knew, that's just how true
My love was.
No words for my love
You're burning love, sweet burning love
It's deep inside,
You mustn't hide, your burning love
Sweet burning love, your burning love.
You want to turn your head away
And someone's thinking of you
I wish you'd see, it's only me,
I love you.
No words for my love
And end up giving nothing
I'm not surprised, that your black eyes
Are gazing.
You say that love is everything
And what we need the most of
I wish you knew, that's just how true

No words for my love
You're burning love, sweet burning love

Helen Wheels
Said farewell to my last hotel it never was much kind of abode
Glasgow town never brought me down when i was heading out on the road
Carlisle city never looked so pretty, and the kendal freeway is fast
Slow down driver, wanna stay alive, i wanna make this journey last
Helen (helen) hell on wheels
Ain't nobody else gonna know the way she feels
Helen (helen) hell on wheels
And they never gonna take her away
M6 south down liverpool, where they play the west coast sound
Sailor sam, he came from birmingham, but he never will be found
Doin' fine when a london sign, grees me like a long lost friend
Mister motor won't you check her out, she's gotta take me back again
Helen (helen) hell on wheels
Ain't nobody else gonna know the way she feels
Helen (helen) hell on wheels
And they never gonna take her away
Got no time for a rum and lime, i wanna get my right foot down;
Shake some dust off of this old bus, i gotta get her out of town
Spend the day upon the motorway, where the carburettors blast;
Slow down driver, wanna stay alive, i wanna make this journey last
Helen (helen) hell on wheels
Ain't nobody else gonna know the way she feels
Helen (helen) hell on wheels
And they never gonna take her away
Say bye-bye.....fade out

Nineteen Hundred And Eighty Five
On no one left alive in 1985, will ever do
She may be right
She may be fine
She may get love but she won't get mine
'cos i got you
Oh i oh i
Well i just can't enough of that sweet stuff
My little lady gets behind
Interlude
On my mama said the time would come
When i would find myself in love with you
I didn't think i never dreamed
That i would be around to see it all come true
Woh i oh i
Well i just can't get enough of that sweet stuff
My little lady gets behind
She may be right
She may be fine
She may get love but she won't get mine

Country Dreamer
I'd like to walk in a field with you,
Take my hat and my boots off too.
I'd like to lie in a field with you.
Would you like to do it too, may?
Would you like to do it too?
I'd like to stand in a stream with you,
Roll my trousers up and not feel blue.
I'd like to wash in a stream with you.
Would you like to do it too?
You and I, country dreamer,
When there's nothing else to do;
Me oh my, country dreamer,
Make a country dream come true.
I'd like to climb up a hill with you,
Stand on top and admire the view.
I'd like to roll down a hill with you.
Would you like to do it too, may?
Would you like to do it too?
You and I, country dreamer,
When there's nothing else to do;
Me oh my, country dreamer,
Make a country dream come true.
I'd like to climb up a hill with you,
Take my hat and my boots off too.
I'd like to lie in a field with you.
Would you like to do it too, may?
Take my hat and my boots off too.

Band on the Run is the third studio album by the British-American rock band Paul McCartney and Wings, released by Apple on 30 November 1973. It was McCartney's fifth album after leaving the Beatles in April 1970. Although sales were modest initially, its commercial performance was aided by two hit singles - "Jet" and "Band on the Run" - such that it became the top-selling studio album of 1974 in the United Kingdom and Australia, in addition to revitalising McCartney's critical standing. It remains McCartney's most successful album and the most celebrated of his post-Beatles works.
The album was mostly recorded at EMI's studio in Lagos, Nigeria, as McCartney wanted to make an album in an exotic location. Shortly before departing for Lagos, drummer Denny Seiwell and guitarist Henry McCullough left the group. With no time to recruit replacements, McCartney went into the studio with just his wife Linda and Denny Laine. McCartney therefore played bass, drums, percussion and most of the lead guitar parts. The studio was of poor quality and conditions in Nigeria were tense and difficult; the McCartneys were robbed at knifepoint, losing a bag of song lyrics and demo tapes. After the band's return to England, final overdubs and further recording were carried out in London, mostly at AIR Studios.
In 2000, Q magazine placed Band on the Run at number 75 in its list of the "100 Greatest British Albums Ever". In 2012, it was listed at 418 on Rolling Stone's revised list of "the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time". A contemporary review by Jon Landau in Rolling Stone describes the album as being the "finest record yet" by a former Beatle "with the possible exception of John Lennon's Plastic Ono Band".
It was McCartney's last album released on Apple Records. In 2013, it was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.
