George Harrison - When We Was Fab Lyrics






Back then long time ago when grass was green
Woke up in a daze
Arrived like strangers in the night
Fab - long time ago when we was fab
Fab - back when income tax was all we had

Caresses fleeced you in the morning light
Casualties at dawn
And we did it all
Fab - long time ago when we was fab
Fab - you are my world you are my only love

And while you're in this world
The fuzz gonna come and claim you
But you mo better wise
When the buzz gonna come and take you away
Take you away
Take you away

The microscopes that magnified the tears
Studied warts and all
Still the life flows on and on
Fab - long time ago when we was fab
Fab - but It's All Over Now Baby Blue
Fab - long time ago when we was fab
Fab - like this pullover you sent to me

Fab
And You Really Got A Hold On Me
fab - long time ago when we was fab

George Harrison When We Was Fab Comments
  1. S.... B....

    Magnicifent Viddy!

  2. T.... W....

    I really feel like he wanted to get the group back together. I feel like if John wasn't killed it could have happened. Underlying tensions alongside John's Heroin use really ignited a powder keg that had simmered out after he had gotten clean and they had a break from each other.

  3. R.... B....

    Pull Over

  4. *.... R....

    1:59 The walrus is back! So as ringo!

  19. D.... D....

    FAP ......( Chile )

  20. �.... K....

    ビートルズの「かすがい」はリンゴ・スターだった
    このプロモからもそれがよく分かる

  21. G.... P....

    fabuloso

  22. A.... D....

    This song needs to be used in a family guy tribute video from 1999-2019 because it has been 20 years since that show came on and throw in some clips from american dad and the cleveland show too

  23. Z.... 3....

    Is that ringo??

  24. k.... m....

  27. J.... L....

    estaba feliz

  28. T.... ....

    Isn't Paul the walrus in disguise? He was the walrus after all.

  29. A.... O....

    Does anyone know the meaning of the imagery toward the end of the video, where the whole scene is revealed, and you see children ducking under Georges projection, and being on this side of the wall with a bunch of great monuments on the other side?

  30. G.... M....

    Thanks for ever Beatles ❤✌

  31. S.... K....

    That’s a long ass piano

  32. B.... D....

    Sounds like something that would come out of The Beatles in ‘67, it gives me a Magical Mystery Tour vibe.

  33. m.... m....

    musica para el alma

  34. m.... h....

    George Harrison is a stand user😂

    Lyrics
    One! Two!
    Back then long time ago when grass was green
    Woke up in a daze
    Arrived like strangers in the night
    (Fab! Doot, doot, doot doo)
    Long time ago when we was fab (Fab!)
    Back when income tax was all we had
    Caressers fleeced you in the morning light
    Casualties at dawn
    And we did it all
    (Fab! Doot, doot, doot doo)
    Long time ago when we was fab (Fab)
    In my world you are my only love
    And while you're in this world
    The fuzz gonna come and claim you
    But you mo better wise
    When the buzz gonna come and take you away
    Take you away. Take you away
    The microscopes that magnified the tears
    Studied warts and all
    Still the life flowed on and on
    (Fab! Doot, doot, doot, Gear!)
    Long time ago when we was fab (Fab)
    But it's all over now, baby blue
    (Oo! doot, doot doot. Fab!)
    Long time ago when we was fab
    (Fab!) Like this pullover you sent me
    (Fab! Doot, doot, doot. Gear!)
    And you really got a hold on me
    (Fab! Doot, doot, doot, Gear!)

  36. M.... S....

    The magic of Godley and Creme directing this. George has become god lol

  37. N.... T....

    Is it me, or does this guy kinda sound like the Beatles?

  38. r.... m....

    "now it's all over now baby blue" nice Dylan nod, as they were such good friends.

  39. r.... m....

    The duality of this song is melancholic for me...

  40. Z.... ....

    _Got to be a joker he just do what he please_

  41. r.... m....

    miss george big time

  42. G.... O....

    Was that a left-handed walrus playing bass guitar?

  43. m.... m....

    When we was fab😎😎🤩🥰🙂

  44. Y.... E....

    Perfect for another Beatles song (if come true)

  45. S.... K....

    Is ringo in this video or is it just someone who looks incredible like ringo also who was in the walrus costume?

  46. F.... R....

    0:59 ❤️❤️❤️

  47. L.... S....

    3:25 rest in peace, i can almost hear you jamming out right behind the veil.

  48. B.... B....

    Do you miss George?

    Like: Yes
    Comment: No

  49. D.... ....

    Just a brilliant tune that drew on the time of the Beatles but also fit the pop music of the time. In a genuine way. Love it.

  50. G.... H....

    0:04 BIKE MEN'S WEAR PUMA'S SHOES

  51. L.... Z....

    Ito yung version ko sa video

    2:07 as Mark David Chapman, Imagine
    2:00 "George wanted me to be in it but I wasn't available. So I suggested that he put someone else in The Walrus and tell everyone that it was me." - Paul
    2:45 as Pattie Boyd
    2:56 as Alf and Charlie hold the newspaper clipping from Liverpool Echo.

  52. S.... U....

    Cameos



    1:43 Jeff Lynne playing violin
    1:52 Ray Cooper playing violin
    2:03 Neil Aspinall - holding the "Imagine" album (also John Lennon's cameo)
    2:07 Paul McCartney - the distorted person walking by
    2:22 Paul Simon carrying fruits
    2:41 Elton John

  53. P.... a....

    I think Paul took George's death very hard he knew George 2 yrs before he met John and became a Beatle he had his mate George Harrison join them then they got ringo the rest was history

  54. D.... H....

    The days that John, Paul, George and Ringo were born was a profound blessing to all of Humanity! Do not be sad when they are gone, so much as amazed that they have been here... A truly Profound Blessing... As this gem Shows

  55. A.... M....

    *HOLD ON HOLD ON* the guy right there looks like Elton John!!!!!!

  56. j.... ....

    why was this posted on george’s death day thing

  57. D.... Q....

    RIP George Harrison. One of the greatest musicians in history. May he live a wonderful life in Heaven.

    D.... Q....

    Amen Disco Queen!

  58. g.... s....

    great song one of so many..

  59. F.... ....

    18 años ya Máster❣️

  60. d.... d....

    The Jeff Lynne touch!!

  61. X.... E....

    Long time ago when we was....





    The band on the Run

  62. A.... ....

    The part when Harrison wears his Sgt. Pepper's costume (0:58) fills me with a nostalgic, sad and happy sensation at the same time. He looks kinda happy!

  63. d.... ....

    When this song came out it was the closest thing to a new Beatles song.

  64. j.... P....

    Esse video foi mais no sense do que a letra de "I'm the Walrus"

  65. T.... ....

    Every time I watch this I just wish that we could have seen Paul, George and Ringo making music together, even if just for a few seconds. Yes, I know the left-handed bass player in the Magical Mystery Tour costume COULD have been Paul - but we'll never know for certain, will we ?...

  66. S.... E....

    Ringo is so cool !

  67. O.... G....

    Was it just a dream

  68. T.... ....

    Brilliant video!! Ringo, Jeff Lynne, Elton John, and that left-handed bass player ?...

  69. J.... K....

    Directed by Kevin Godley and Lol Creme! Hence the brilliance.

  70. M.... T....

    393 people were never FAB

  71. J.... M....

    Great song

  72. I.... F....

    For some reason this feels like part of the same recording set that Real Love and Free As a Bird have. I'm guessing it's Jeff Lynne's influence maybe? idk. It just has a very 'authentic' feel that truly does capture the reminiscent feeling of the sonic experience of any album from the Beatles' catalogue. The mix is ingenious...

  73. L.... ....

    I can’t believe George stole Elton John’s wallet!

    L.... ....

    It was a funny joke because Elton played his piano part so well.

  74. e.... ....

    Hey look! that's RIngo

  75. B.... S....

    Pre 1966 = The Fab Four

  76. B.... ....

    Underrated George.

  77. o.... c....

    Ringão cara de ser gente muito boa kkk

  78. F.... ....

    DX 1600 Turbo

  79. P.... P....

    If you don't love the moment when Elton John gives a coin to George, you have no heart

  80. t.... h....

    I love the way this songs incorporates all the stylistic riffs of the Beatles, you can hear "I am the Walrus", Eleanor Rigby, and many, many others, "Within you, without you" at the end with the sitar riff.

  81. N.... K....

    Love always ❤️

  82. r.... ....

    is it just me or does george look a bit short in this video

  83. A.... C....

    *chokes on spit when he got in the hello goodbye outfit*

  84. G.... T....

    Oh 0:59 when he was in his srgnt peppers outfit

  85. J.... D....

    I think the song means when George was in fab 4 the Beatles.

  86. S.... ....

    he even wore the sgt peppers uniform.

  87. m.... g....

    "from other dimension" xd (four guys).

  88. A.... ....

    2:43 is that Elton I see?

  89. P.... P....

    George on top form (as usual !) & Ringo adding some humour - wonderful !

  90. Y.... ....

    You know everybody talks about John and Paul’s great friendship but from what I can tell ringo and George were quite close as well.

  91. Y.... ....

    Does anybody know if ringo actually played drums on this song or was it just for the music video either way it’s pretty cool.

  92. T.... b....

    The walrus is Paul ?

  93. E.... I....

    You just gotta love a trippy music video

  94. P.... G....

    I guess the walrus is Paul?

  95. E.... B....

    This is a video I use when nervous, its fun to see Ringo and George, and it's artsy and old school, which is calming and nostalgic.
