"I liked the words to "Run Of The Mill". It was the first song I ever wrote that looked like a poem on paper, whereas most of them don't seem much until you put the lyric with the tune. It's like the North Of England thing--you know, "trouble at t'mill":It was when Apple was getting crazy--Ringo wanted it blue, John wanted it white, Paul wanted it green, and I wanted it orange. Paul was falling out with us all and going around Apple offices saying "You're no good"--everybody was just incompetent (The Spanish Inquisition Sketch [Monty Python])." --George Harrison from "I Me Mine" Ganga Publishing 1980
Run Of The Mill (Harrison) 1970 from "All Things Must Pass"
Everyone has choice, when to and not to raise their voices:
It's you that decides;
Which way you will turn,
While feeling that our love's not your concern;
It's you that decides
No one around you, will carry the blame for you.
No one around you, will love you to day
And throw it all away.
Tomorrow you will rise
Another day for you to realize me;
Or send me down again;
As the days stand up on end,
You've got me wondering how I lost your friendship,
But I see it in your eyes.
Though I'm beside you I can't carry the lame for you.
I may decide to get out with your blessing,
Where I'll carry on guessing
How high will you leap?
And will you make enough for you to reap it?
Only you'll arrive
At your own made end,
With no one but yourself to be offended;
It's you that decides
