The cover of Band On The Run is also noteworthy.
Shot on 28 October 1973, it depicts the now well-known shot of Paul, Linda and Denny plus six other celebrities dressed as convicts caught in the spotlight of a prison searchlight.
They are: Michael Parkinson (journalist and UK chat-show host), Kenny Lynch (singer, actor and comedian), James Coburn (Hollywood actor), Clement Freud (gourmet, raconteur, Member of Parliament, Just a Minute panellist and grandson of Sigmund), Christopher Lee (UK actor, best known for roles in horror films and as Saruman in the Lord Of The Rings trilogy) and John Conteh (Liverpool boxer who later became World Light-Heavyweight champion).
The picture was taken against a garden wall in Osterley Park, Brentford. References to the cover were to be made later by McCartney himself (in the video for "Spies Like Us", along with Chevy Chase and Dan Aykroyd) as well as others (such as the movie poster for the DREAMWORKS' animated film Madagascar, which depicts the main characters standing against a wall in a pose strikingly similar to the original "Band On The Run" photo.)

2. Jet
Jet ! Jet ! Jet !
I can almost remember their funny faces
That time you told them that you were going to be marrying soon
And jet I thought the only lonely place was on the moon
Jet ! Jet ! Jet !
Jet was your father as bold as the sergeant major
How come he told you that you were hardly old enough yet
And jet I thought the major was a lady suffragette
Jet ! Jet ! Jet !
Ah Mater want Jet to always love me
Ah Mater want Jet to always love me
Ah Mater ... much later
Jet !
And Jet I thought the major was a lady suffragette
Jet Jet
Ah Mater want Jet to always love me
Ah Mater want Jet to always love me
Ah Mater... much later
Jet with the wind in your hair
Of a thousand laces
Climb on the back and we'll go for a ride in the sky
And Jet I thought that the major was a little lady suffragette
Jet - Jet - Jet
And Jet you know I thought you was a little lady suffragette
Jet
A little lady
My little lady ... yes
3. Bluebird
Late at night when the wind is still,
I'll come flying through your door.
And you'll know what love is for, I’m a bluebird,
I’m a bluebird, I’m a bluebird, I’m a bluebird, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I’m a bluebird, I’m a bluebird, I’m a bluebird, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Touch your lips with a magic kiss, and you'll be a bluebird too.
And you'll know what love can do. I’m a bluebird,
I’m a bluebird, I’m a bluebird, I’m a bluebird, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I’m a bluebird, I’m a bluebird, I’m a bluebird, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Bluebird, (bluebird) ah ha, bluebird, (bluebird) ah ha, bluebird, (bluebird).
Fly away through the midnight air as we head across the sea.
And at last we will be free, you're a bluebird,
you're a bluebird, you're a bluebird, you're a bluebird, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Bluebird, you're a bluebird, you're a bluebird, yeah, yeah, yeah.

At last we will be free, bluebird, you and me, at last we will be free.

All alone on a desert island, we're living in the trees. And we're flying in the breeze,

Singing bluebird, (bluebird, bluebird) ah ha, bluebird, (bluebird, bluebird) ah ha,
bluebird, (bluebird, bluebird).
4. Mrs. Vanderbilt
Down in the jungle, living in a tent, you don't use money, you don't pay rent,
you don't even know the time but you don't mind.
Ho, hey ho, ho, hey ho. Ho, hey ho, ho, hey ho.
When your light is on the blink, you never think of worrying.
What's the use of worrying?
When your bus has left the stop, you'd better drop your hurrying.
What's the use of hurrying?
Leave me alone, Mrs. Vanderbilt, I've got plenty of time of my own.
What's the use of worrying? What's the use of worrying? What's the use of anything?
Ho, hey ho, ho, hey ho. Ho, hey ho, ho, hey ho.
What's the use of worrying? What's the use of worrying? What's the use of anything?
Ho, hey ho, ho, hey ho. Ho, hey ho, ho, hey ho.
When your pile is on the vane, you don't complain of robbery.
Run away, don't bother me, what's the use of worrying? No use, what's the use of anything?
Leave me alone, Mrs Washington, I've done plenty of time of my own.
What's the use of worrying? What's the use of hurrying? No use, what's the use of anything?
Ho, hey ho, ho, hey ho. Ho, hey ho, ho, hey ho ….
5. Let Me Roll It
You gave me something I understand, you gave me loving in the palm of my hand.
I can't tell you how I feel, my heart is like a wheel,
let me roll it, let me roll it to you, let me roll it, let me roll it to you.
I wanna tell you, and now's the time, I wanna tell you that you're going to be mine.
I can't tell you how I feel, my heart is like a wheel,
let me roll it, let me roll it to you, let me roll it, let me roll it to you.
I can't tell you how I feel, my heart is like a wheel,
let me roll it, let me roll it to you, let me roll it, let me roll it to you.
You gave me something I understand, you gave me loving in the palm of my hand.
I can't tell you how I feel, my heart is like a wheel,
let me roll it, let me roll it to you, let me roll it, let me roll it to you.
6. Mamunia
Mamunia, mamunia, mamunia. Mamunia, mamunia, oh.
Mamunia, mamunia, mamunia. Mamunia, mamunia, oh.
The rain comes falling from the sky, to fill the stream that fills the sea.
And that's where life began for you and me.
So the next time you see rain, it ain't bad, don't complain, it rains for you.
The next time you see rain clouds, don't complain, it rains for you and me.
Mamunia, mamunia, mamunia. Mamunia, mamunia, oh.
Mamunia, mamunia, mamunia. Mamunia, mamunia, oh.
It might have been a bright, blue day, but rain clouds had to come this way.
They're watering everything that they can see.
A seed is waiting in the earth for rain to come to give him birth.
It's all he really needs to set him free.
The next time you see rain clouds, don't complain, it rains for you and me.
So lay down your umbrella, strip off your plastic mac,
you've never felt the rain, my friend, till you've felt it running down your back..
The next time you see rain clouds, don't complain, it rains for you and me.
The next time you see rain clouds, don't complain, it rains for you and me.
Mamunia, mamunia, mamunia. Mamunia, mamunia, oh.
Mamunia, mamunia, mamunia. Mamunia, mamunia, oh.
Mamunia, mamunia, mamunia. Mamunia, mamunia, oh.
Mamunia, mamunia, mamunia. Mamunia, mamunia, oh.
7. No Words
You wanna give your love away, and end up giving nothing.
I’m not surprised that your black eyes are gazing.
You say that love is everything and what we need the most of.
I wish you knew, that's just how true my love was.
No words for my love.
Your burning love, sweet, burning love, it's deep inside.
You mustn't hide your burning love, sweet, burning love, your burning love.
You wanna turn your head away, and someone's thinking of you.
I wish you'd see, it's only me, I love you.
No words for my love.
8. Helen Wheels
Said farewell to my last hotel
It never was much a kind of a bode
Glasgow town never brought me down
When I was heading out on the road
Carlisle city never looked so pretty
And the Kendal freeway's fast
Slow down driver want to stay alive
I want to make this journey last
chorus:
Helen, hell on wheels
Ain't nobody else gonna know the way she feels
Helen, hell on wheels
And they never gonna take her away
M6 south down to Liverpool
Where they play the west coast sound
Sailor Sam he came from Birmingham
But he never will be found
Doing fine when a London sign
Greets me like a long lost friend
Mister Motor won't you check her out
She's got to take me back again
chorus
Got no time for a rum and lime
I wanna get my right foot down
Shake some dust off of this old bus
I gotta get her out of town
Spend the day up on the motorway
Where the carburetors blast
Slow down driver want to stay alive
I want to make this journey last
chorus
9. Picasso's Last Words ( Drink To Me )
The grand old painter died last night, his painting' s on the wall.
Before he went, he bade us well and said goodnight to us all.
Drink to me, drink to my health, you know I can't drink any more.
Drink to me, drink to my health, you know I can't drink any more.
Three o'clock in the morning, I’m getting ready for bed, it came without a warning.
But I'll be waiting for you, baby, I'll be waiting for you there.
Drink to me, drink to my health, you know I can't drink any more.
Drink to me, drink to my health, you know I can't drink any more.

10. Nineteen Hundred And Eighty Five
On no one left alive in 1985, will ever do
She may be right
She may be fine
She may get love but she won't get mine
'Cos I got you
Oh I Oh I
Well I just can't enough of that sweet stuff
My little lady gets behind
INTERLUDE
On my mama said the time would come when I would find myself in love with you
I didn't think
I never dreamed
That I would be around to see it all come true
Woh I Oh I
Well I just can't get enough of that sweet stuff
My little lady gets behind.
INTERLUDE
On no one ever left alive in 1985...

The cover of Band On The Run is also noteworthy.
Shot on 28 October 1973, it depicts the now well-known shot of Paul, Linda and Denny plus six other celebrities dressed as convicts caught in the spotlight of a prison searchlight.
They are: Michael Parkinson (journalist and UK chat-show host), Kenny Lynch (singer, actor and comedian), James Coburn (Hollywood actor), Clement Freud (gourmet, raconteur, Member of Parliament, Just a Minute panellist and grandson of Sigmund), Christopher Lee (UK actor, best known for roles in horror films and as Saruman in the Lord Of The Rings trilogy) and John Conteh (Liverpool boxer who later became World Light-Heavyweight champion).
The picture was taken against a garden wall in Osterley Park, Brentford. References to the cover were to be made later by McCartney himself (in the video for "Spies Like Us", along with Chevy Chase and Dan Aykroyd) as well as others (such as the movie poster for the DREAMWORKS' animated film Madagascar, which depicts the main characters standing against a wall in a pose strikingly similar to the original "Band On The Run" photo.)

I wanna tell you, and now's the time, I wanna tell you that you're going to be mine.

Mamunia, mamunia, mamunia. Mamunia, mamunia, oh.
Mamunia, mamunia, mamunia. Mamunia, mamunia, oh.
The rain comes falling from the sky, to fill the stream that fills the sea.
And that's where life began for you and me.
So the next time you see rain, it ain't bad, don't complain, it rains for you.
The next time you see rain clouds, don't complain, it rains for you and me.
Mamunia, mamunia, mamunia. Mamunia, mamunia, oh.
Mamunia, mamunia, mamunia. Mamunia, mamunia, oh.
It might have been a bright, blue day, but rain clouds had to come this way.
They're watering everything that they can see.
A seed is waiting in the earth for rain to come to give him birth.
It's all he really needs to set him free.
The next time you see rain clouds, don't complain, it rains for you and me.
So lay down your umbrella, strip off your plastic mac,
you've never felt the rain, my friend, till you've felt it running down your back..
The next time you see rain clouds, don't complain, it rains for you and me.
The next time you see rain clouds, don't complain, it rains for you and me.

7. No Words
You wanna give your love away, and end up giving nothing.
I’m not surprised that your black eyes are gazing.
You say that love is everything and what we need the most of.
I wish you knew, that's just how true my love was.
No words for my love.
Your burning love, sweet, burning love, it's deep inside.
You mustn't hide your burning love, sweet, burning love, your burning love.
You wanna turn your head away, and someone's thinking of you.
I wish you'd see, it's only me, I love you.
No words for my love.
8. Helen Wheels
Said farewell to my last hotel
It never was much a kind of a bode
Glasgow town never brought me down
When I was heading out on the road
Carlisle city never looked so pretty
And the Kendal freeway's fast
Slow down driver want to stay alive
I want to make this journey last
chorus:
Helen, hell on wheels
Ain't nobody else gonna know the way she feels
Helen, hell on wheels
And they never gonna take her away
M6 south down to Liverpool
Where they play the west coast sound
Sailor Sam he came from Birmingham
But he never will be found
Doing fine when a London sign
Greets me like a long lost friend
Mister Motor won't you check her out
She's got to take me back again
chorus
Got no time for a rum and lime
I wanna get my right foot down
Shake some dust off of this old bus
I gotta get her out of town
Spend the day up on the motorway
Where the carburetors blast
Slow down driver want to stay alive
I want to make this journey last

Said farewell to my last hotel
It never was much a kind of a bode
Glasgow town never brought me down
When I was heading out on the road
Carlisle city never looked so pretty
And the Kendal freeway's fast
Slow down driver want to stay alive
I want to make this journey last

Helen, hell on wheels
Ain't nobody else gonna know the way she feels
Helen, hell on wheels
And they never gonna take her away
M6 south down to Liverpool
Where they play the west coast sound
Sailor Sam he came from Birmingham
But he never will be found
Doing fine when a London sign
Greets me like a long lost friend
Mister Motor won't you check her out
She's got to take me back again
chorus
Got no time for a rum and lime
I wanna get my right foot down
Shake some dust off of this old bus
I gotta get her out of town
Spend the day up on the motorway
Where the carburetors blast
Slow down driver want to stay alive
I want to make this journey last

7. No Words
You wanna give your love away, and end up giving nothing.
I’m not surprised that your black eyes are gazing.
You say that love is everything and what we need the most of.
I wish you knew, that's just how true my love was.
No words for my love.
Your burning love, sweet, burning love, it's deep inside.
You mustn't hide your burning love, sweet, burning love, your burning love.
You wanna turn your head away, and someone's thinking of you.
I wish you'd see, it's only me, I love you.
No words for my love.
8. Helen Wheels
Said farewell to my last hotel
It never was much a kind of a bode
Glasgow town never brought me down
When I was heading out on the road
Carlisle city never looked so pretty
And the Kendal freeway's fast
Slow down driver want to stay alive
I want to make this journey last
chorus:
Helen, hell on wheels
Ain't nobody else gonna know the way she feels
Helen, hell on wheels
And they never gonna take her away
M6 south down to Liverpool
Where they play the west coast sound
Sailor Sam he came from Birmingham
But he never will be found
Doing fine when a London sign
Greets me like a long lost friend
Mister Motor won't you check her out
She's got to take me back again
chorus
Got no time for a rum and lime
I wanna get my right foot down
Shake some dust off of this old bus
I gotta get her out of town
Spend the day up on the motorway
Where the carburetors blast
Slow down driver want to stay alive
I want to make this journey last
chorus
9. Picasso's Last Words ( Drink To Me )
The grand old painter died last night, his painting' s on the wall.
Before he went, he bade us well and said goodnight to us all.
Drink to me, drink to my health, you know I can't drink any more.
Drink to me, drink to my health, you know I can't drink any more.
Three o'clock in the morning, I’m getting ready for bed, it came without a warning.
But I'll be waiting for you, baby, I'll be waiting for you there.
Drink to me, drink to my health, you know I can't drink any more.
Drink to me, drink to my health, you know I can't drink any more.

10. Nineteen Hundred And Eighty Five
On no one left alive in 1985, will ever do
She may be right
She may be fine
She may get love but she won't get mine
'Cos I got you
Oh I Oh I
Well I just can't enough of that sweet stuff
My little lady gets behind
INTERLUDE
On my mama said the time would come when I would find myself in love with you
I didn't think
I never dreamed
That I would be around to see it all come true
Woh I Oh I
Well I just can't get enough of that sweet stuff
My little lady gets behind.
