All Things

You can take the T.V.,
I never used it anyway
Only when we watched Twin Peaks and played Nintendo games
Now our lives are in boxes,
Hearts no longer open and I've had to spend the day working out
Which of these are broken

You can take The Beatles
I'll take The Who,
You can take The Rolling Stones, I bought those ones for you
We had a big collection, an even bigger connection
as our favourite George record says
All Things Must Pass

Did we buy that one in New York, Detroit or Chicago
Amoeba Hollywood, or Amoeba San Francisco
We travelled many miles, went down hand in hand
Shopped in every aisle
Didn't care if they were second hand

You can take Bob Dylan
I'll take Marvin Gaye
You can take Led Zeppelin,
I never liked them anyway
We had a big collection,
An even bigger connection,
As our favourite George record says
All Things Must Pass

It never really hit me, the times they are a changin',
That with so many records, come so many memories
like when we saw McCartney, all the way in Coachella
or when we saw Paul Weller, sing a "Town called malice"
And that one time at Brian Wilson,
We snuck out during the intermission, bought that copy of Pet Sounds,
We listened to it everyday and wouldn't be nice to think
That one day we could both agree,
The music that we loved, made us who
We both are today, today, today, today

You can take Paul Simon,
You can take Carole King
You can take Patti Smith in fact you can have everything
We had a big collection, an even bigger connection,
As our favourite George record says
All Things Must Pass
And babe you know we really had a blast
