Info:
Track for track cover of legendary Beatles' album of the same name. Cassette version available containing 'Let It Be' and 'Opus Dei'.

Review:
A great album if you dare! The Beatles" break up album is strangely yet brilliantly handled by Laibach (supposedly to mirror the break up of Yugoslavia). 'Maggie May' is turned into some kind of German beer drinking, marching song, whilst 'Dig A Pony' is like .... well I just cannot explain it. The album is seriously strange but very compelling. I met someone whose only knowledge of Laibach was this album and upon finding out that I was a fan thought that I must be mad. Some tune fall into the expected Laibach mould (such as the clips above).

Worth Buying?
If you want your friends to think you are strange then play them this album. It is thought provoking and well made, with surprises all along the way. I bought this album and play it often (through headphones so the neighbours don't get worried). Buy it, you will not regret it!

Lyrics:

Let It Be

Get Back

Jojo was a man who though me was loner,
But he knew it couldn't last.
Jojo left his home in Tuscon, Arizona,
For some California glass.

Get back, get back,
Get back to where you was belonged.
Get back, Jojo, go home.
Get back, get back,
Get back to where you was belonged.
Get back, Jojo.

Sweet Loretta Modern thought she was a woman,
But he was another man.
All the girls is around her say she's got it coming,
But she gets it while she can.

Get back, get back,
Get back to where you was belonged.
Get back, get back,
Get back to where you was belonged.
Get back home, Loretta.

Your mammy is waiting for you,
Wearing her high heeled shoes.
And her low mosk sweater,
Get back home, Loretta.

Get back, get back,
Get back to where you was belonged,
Get back, get back,
Get back to where you was belonged.

Two Of Us

Two of us riding nowhere,
Spending someone's hard earned day.
You and me Sunday driving,
Not arriving on our way home.
Here on our way home,
Here on our way home,
We're going home.

Two of us sending postcards,
Writing letters on my wall.
You and me burning matches,
Lifting latches on our way back home.
Here on our way home,
Here on our way home,
We're going home.

You and I have memories
Longer than the road,
That stretchers out a head.

Two of us wearing raincoats,
Standing solo in the sun.
You and me closing paper,
Getting nowhere on our way back home.
Here on our way home,
Here on our way home.
We're going home.

I Me Mine

All thru' the day I me mine, I me mine, I me mine,
All thru' the night I me mine, I me mine, I me mine.
Nobody're frightened of leaving it,
Ev'ryone weaving it,
Coming on strong all the time,
All thru' the day I me mine.
I-I me-e mine, I-I me-me mine,
I-I me-e mine, I-I me-me mine.

All I can hear I me mine, I me mine, I me mine,
Even those tears I me mine, I me mine, I me mine.
No one's frightened of playing it,
Ev'ryones saying it,
Flowing more freely than wine.
Al thru' your life I me mine.

Across The Universe

Word are flowing out like and less rain into a paper cup,
They slither while they pass, they sleep across the Universe.
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting to my open mind,
Possessing and caressing me.

Jai guru deva, oh,
Nothin' gonna change my world,
Nothin' gonna change my world,
Nothin' gonna change my world,
Nothin' gonna change my world.

Images of broken light which dance before me like a million suns,
They call me on and on across the Universe.
Thoughts me under like a restless wind inside a letter box,
They tumble blindly as they make their way across the Universe.

Sound of laughter shades of Earth are
Ringing through my open view inciting and inviting me,
Limitless undying, love which shines aroun'me like a million eyes,
It calls me on and on across the Universe.

Dig It

Like a Rolling Stone,
Like a Rolling Stone,
Like a Rolling Stone,
Like the FBI,
And the CIA,
And the BBC,
B.B.King,
And Doris Day,
Matt Busby,
Dig it...

The Long And Winding Road

The long and winding road,
That lead to your door
Will never disappear,
I've see that road before.
It's always leads me here -
Leads me to your door.

The while and windy night,
That a rain washed a way,
Has left a pool of tears,
Crying for the day.
Why leave me standing here,
Let me know the way.

Many time I've been along
And many time I've cried,
Anyway you'll never know
The many ways I've tried.

But still they lead me back,
To the long winding road,
Don't leave me standing here,
Lead me to your door.

But still they lead me back
To the long winding road,
You left me standing here
A long long time ago
Don't keep me waiting you,
Lead me to your door.

One After 909

My baby says she's the one
After 9-0-9
I said move over honey,
I'm travelling on that line.
I said move over once, move over twice,
Come on, baby, don't be cold as ice,
I said I'm trav'ling on one after 9-0-9

I begged her not to go
And I begged her on my bended knees,
You're only fooling around,
You're fooling around with me.
I said move over once, move over twice,
Come on, baby, don't be cold as ice,
I said I'm trav'ling on one after 9-0-9.

I've got my beg, run to the station,
Then I said you've got a number wrong,
I've got my beg, run right home,
Then I find I've got a number wrong.

Well, I said I'm travelling on one
After 9-0-9
I said move over honey,
I'm traveling on that line.
I said move over once, move over twice.
Come on, baby, don't be cold as ice.
I said I'm trav'ling on one after 9-0-9.

I've got my beg, run to the station,
Then I said you've got a number wrong,
I've got my beg, run right home.
Then I find I've got a number wrong

Well, I said I'm travelling on one
After 9-0-9,
I said move over honey,
I'm travelling on that line.
I said move over once, move over twice,
Come on, baby, don't be cold as ice,
I said I'm trav'ling on one after 9-0-9.
I said I'm travelling on one
After 9-0-9...

For You Blue

Your lips are sweet and lovely, girl,
I love you.
Because you're sweet and lovely, girl,
It's true.
I love you more than ever girl I do.

I want you in the morning, girl,
I love you.
I want you at the moment
I feel blue
And ever ev'ry moment girl to you.

I want you from the moment
I saw you.
You looked at me - that's all you
Had to do.
I feel it how I hope you feel to do.

Because you're sweet and lovely, girl,
I love you.
Because you're sweet and lovely, girl,
It's true.
I love you more than ever girl I do.
