Lyrics:
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's fast
Slow down driver, wanna stay alive
I wanna make this journey last
Helen-Hell on wheels
Ain't nobody else gonna know the way she feels
Helen-Hell on wheels
And they never gonna take her away
Oh
M6 south down to Liverpool
Where they play the west coast sound
Sailor Sam he came from Birmingham
But he never will be found
Doing fine when a London sign
Greets me like a long lost friend
Mr. Motor won't you check her out
She's got to take me back again
Helen-Hell on wheels
Ain't nobody else gonna know the way she feels
Helen-Hell on wheels
And they never gonna take her away
Got no time for a run and lime
I wanna get my right foot down (Get my right foot down)
Shake some dust off of this old bus
I gotta get her out of town (Get her out of town)
Spend the day upon the motorway
Where the carburettors blast (Carburettors blast)
Slow down driver, wanna stay alive
I wanna make this journey last
Helen-Hell on wheels
Ain't nobody else gonna know the way she feels
Helen-Hell on wheels
And they never gonna take her away
Say bye-bye (Bye-bye, bye-bye)

It was mostly recorded in EMI's Lagos studio in Nigeria.
The song is about McCartney's black pet horse called Jet but there are claims it may also be about a black Labrador he had, also called Jet.
The song spawned the name of Australian rock band Jet.
Lyrics:
Jet! Jet! Jet!
I Can Almost Remember Their Funny Faces
That Time You Told Me That
You Were Going To Be Marrying Soon.
And Jet, I Thought The Only
Lonely Place Was On The Moon.
Jet! Jet!
Jet! Was Your Father As Bold As A 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, Matter, Want Jet To Always Love Me?
Ah, Matter, Want Jet To Always Love Me?
Ah, Matter, 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 The Major
Was A Lady Suffragette.
Jet! Jet! |

Lyrics:
I'd like to walk in a field with you,
take my hat and my boots off too.
I'd like ti lie in a fiels 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, conutry 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?
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?
Would you like to do it too? |
