Across The Universe

Chapter 5 - What's The Future Like?

The next day in the past, Ava listens to The Beatles play some of their songs for her. They start off by doing an entry from their first album, Please Please Me.

The world is treating me bad... Misery

I'm the kind of guy
Who never used to cry
The world is treating me bad... Misery!

I've lost her now for sure
I won't see her no more
It's gonna be a drag... Misery!

I'll remember all the little things we've done
Can't she see she'll always be the only one, only one

Send her back to me
Cos everyone can see
Without her I will be in misery

I'll remember all the little things we've done
She'll remember and she'll miss her only one, lonely one

Send her back to me
Cos everyone can see
Without her I will be in misery (Oh oh oh)
In misery (Ooh)
My misery (La la la la la la)

Ava claps for them after they finished. "That was so good, fellas!" She said. "Thank you, Ava. Any requests for the next song?" Asked John. "Can you do one from your second album?" Asked Ava. "You betcha!" All four Beatles say at the same time. They huddle up to decide on a song to sing from their second album, With The Beatles. Once they have one, they start playing.

There were bells on a hill
But I never heard them ringing
No, I never heard them at all
Till there was you

There were birds in the sky
But I never saw them winging
No, I never saw them at all
Till there was you

Then there was music and wonderful roses
They tell me in sweet fragrant meadows
Of dawn and dew

There was love all around
But I never heard it singing
No, I never heard it at all
Till there was you

Then there was music and wonderful roses
They tell me in sweet fragrant meadows
Of dawn and dew

There was love all around
But I never heard it singing
No, I never heard it at all
Till there was you

Till there was you!

Ava can feel her eyes fill up with tears as she applauds for them. "You just sang my favorite song from The Music Man!" She said excitedly. "Believe it or not, we didn't know it was from that film at first." Said Paul. "Wow! Anyway, do a song from your third album!" Ava said. "Coming right up!" John said. He and the others huddle up again to decide on a song from their third album, A Hard Day's Night. They start playing after they finally pick one.

Before this dance is through
I think I'll love you too
I'm so happy when you dance with me

I don't want to kiss or hold your hand
If it's funny try and understand
There is really nothing else I'd rather do
Cos I'm happy just to dance with you

I don't need to hug or hold you tight
I just want to dance with you all night
In this world there's nothing I would rather do
Cos I'm happy just to dance with you

Just to dance with you
It's everything I need
Before this dance is through
I think I'll love you too
I'm so happy when you dance with me

If somebody tries to take my place
Let's pretend we just can't see his face
In this world there's nothing I would rather do
Cos I'm happy just to dance with you
