George Harrison — Wreck of the Hesperus

[Verse 1] I'm not the wreck of the Hesperus Feel more like the Wall of China Getting old as Methuselah Feel tall as the Eiffel Tower [Verse 2] I'm not a power of attorney But I can rock as good as Gibraltar Ain't no more no spring chicken Been plucked but I'm still kicking (But it's alright, it's alright) [Bridge 1] Poison penmen sneak, have no nerve to speak Make up lies then they leak them out Behind a pseudonym, the rottenness in them Reaching out trying to touch me [Verse 3] Met some Oscars and Tonys I slipped on a pavement oyster Met a snake climbing ladders Got out of the line of fire (But it's alright) [Bridge 2] Brainless writers gossip nonsenses To others heads as dense as they is It's the same old malady What they see is faulty [Verse 4] I'm not the wreck of the Hesperus Feel more like Big Bill Broonzy Getting old as my mother But I tell you I got some company (But it's alright) [Outro] But it's alright, it's alright But it's alright, it's alright It's alright, alright, it's alright
