Official Lyrics to the Beat Goes On....

[Supergirl]

Need them as I'm taking part of it for a tattoo and don't want it to end up being the wrong words, as you can imagine..
The internet has them several different ways... please advise.

[digdug]

... if you don't know the lyrics of the song, then why would you want to get them tattooed on your body?

[ChelyVonBitch]

Just type "Beat Goes On", and problem solved, easy, don't break your head trying to write an complete verse.

[Supergirl]

I know the lyrics, however, if you type it in.. you get a few different versions.. the lyrics I want are unaffected, but want to be sure....

[Wonsaponatime]

the lyrics I want are unaffected

That's the main thing - which lyrics were you thinking of having?

[Supergirl]

And when I arrived, the angels were signing a song, yeah you know the one are you singing along.....

[Carl_Davis]

according to the official Beady Eye TAB book that line is:

"and when I arrived the angels were singing THIS song, yeah you know the one, are you singing along?"

not sure if thats right though, sounds like it is when you listen to the song

[Supergirl]

I know, but when I listen, I keep hearing singing "a" song... Eeks... def want to get it right... But thanks all!

[Lisa_Mills]

sounds like were singing a song

12. THE BEAT GOES ON

Thought that I died today
Walked off the stage
Faded away up through the clouds
To 'the gig in the sky'
And when I arrived, the angels were singing this song
Yeah you know the one, are you singing along?

Thought I’d know just what to do
That it'd be how I wanted it to
The Ox and Moon were counting me in
I had to give in
Make the thunder and lightning sing
In the eye of the storm, there’s no right and no wrong

So long, so long
Someday all the world will sing my song
Still life remains
Somewhere in my heart the beat goes on

I thought it was the end of the world
Beat with guitars, and all that I understand
Is air through metal and wood
I’m misunderstood
And wasted on money and fame
I’ll throw it away
Just to prove that I can
I’m the last of a dying breed
And it’s not the end of the world, oh no
It’s not even the end of the day

So long, so long
Someday all the world will sing my song
Still life remains
Somewhere in my heart the beat goes on

So long, so long
Someday all the world will sing my song
Still life remains
Somewhere in my heart the beat goes on

So long, so long
Someday all the world will sing my song
Still life remains
Somewhere in my heart the beat goes on
