from Oannes *

Η πρώτη και πιο επιτυχημένη από κάθε άποψη σόλο κυκλοφορία του Ringo, με τον George Harrison σε ρόλο παραγωγού & συν-συνθέτη. Κυκλοφόρησε αποκλειστικά σε single το 1971, και θα μπορούσε να είναι ένα από τα καλύτερα Ringo tracks σε άλμπουμ των Beatles.

✻

The first and most successful in all respects Ringo’s solo release, with George Harrison as producer & co-writer. Released as single-only in 1971, this could have been one of the best Ringo tracks on a Beatles album.

❝ It don’t come easy,
You know it don’t come easy.
It don’t come easy,
You know it don’t come easy.
Got to pay your dues if you wanna sing the blues,
And you know it don’t come easy.
You don’t have to shout or leap about,
You can even play them easy.
Forget about the past and all your sorrows,
The future won’t last,
It will soon be over tomorrow.
I don’t ask for much, i only want your trust,
And you know it don’t come easy.
And this love of mine keeps growing all the time,
And you know it just ain’t easy.
Open up your heart, let’s come together,
Use a little love
And we will make it work out better.
Got to pay your dues if you wanna sing the blues,
And you know it don’t come easy.
You don’t have to shout or leap about,
You can even play them easy.
Peace, remember peace is how we make it,
Here within your reach
If you’re big enough to take it.
I don’t ask for much, i only want your trust,
And you know it don’t come easy.
And this love of mine keeps growing all the time,
And you know it don’t come easy.❞
