WRECK OF THE HESPERUS
(George Harrison)

George Harrison


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.
I'm not a power or 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.

Poison penmen sneak, have no nerve to speak, make up lies then they leak ‘em out.
Behind a pseudonym, the rottenness in them, reaching out trying to touch me.

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, it's alright.

Brainless writers gossip nonsenses to others heads dense as they is.
It's the same old malady, what they see is faulty.

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, it's alright. 
But it's alright, it's alright…
