Wreck Of The Hesperus
Composer(s): George Harrison
Performer(s): 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…
