Slow Down
Was originally written for the 1985 film American Flyers. Of the song, McVie says, “I was asked to write a song for a film about a cycling competition. So, I thought we’d give it a go. So that’s why the lyrics are sort of muddled up with a little bit of a love song, a little bit of cycling. And it turned out really well, but they didn’t end up using it. We thought it was a pity to waste it, so it’s on here.
LYRICS
How long has it been since we have been together?
I could go on the road with you like this, like this forever
Wait for me, slow down and take it easy
All you gotta do is be around like this to please me
Don't ever turn your head
'Cause I'll be there instead
And you won't see me for dust
Slow down, you're moving too fast
And I'm gonna tell ya I'm not hangin' around
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, doo, doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, doo, doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, doo, doo-doo
There's nothing in your way
But only yesterday
And you won't see me for dust
You better slow down, you're moving too fast
But I'm gonna tell ya I'm not hangin' around
Doo, doo, doo, doo-doo
Doo, doo, doo, doo-doo
Doo, doo, doo, doo-doo-doo
You may be out ahead
Ah, but I'll bе there instead
And you won't see mе at all
There's nothing in your way
Ah, but only yesterday
And you won't see me for dust
You better slow down, you're moving too fast
And I'm gonna tell ya I'm not hangin' around
You better slow down, you're moving too fast
And I'm gonna tell ya I'm not hangin' around
Slow down, you're moving too fast
And I'm gonna tell ya

All You Gotta Do
A duet that McVie recorded with George Hawkins while making In the Meantime. The track was never finished, and [Glyn] Johns added Ricky Peterson on Hammond and
Ethan Johns on drums and guitar
LYRICS
Sometimes your heart can be broken
And you'll never know, no, you'll never know, never know why
And you're left in a state of confusion
And all you can do, all you can do
Is sit down and cry
Well, it doesn't mean your love is over
It's no good to sit around, to sit around and sigh
'Cause a broken heart can be mended
All you gotta do, all you gotta do is try
Time's the greatest healer of them all
If you let it happen it will surely come to you
It's gonna get easier before the fall
Don't lеt it take you over
Don't let your wholе life go
Time's the greatest healer of them all
If you let it happen it will surely come to you
It's gonna get easier before the fall
Don't let it take you over
Don't let your whole life go
When you think your life is left in pieces
And you don't know, no, you don't know which way to go
I promise you it will get easier
Just let your forgiveness go
'Cause all you gotta do, all you gotta do is try
All you gotta do, all you gotta do is try -- |
