I’ve always hated the super loud refrain in the LP version, so I was very happy to hear this. This is how the refrain is supposed to sound, dammit!

The lyrics are slightly different than the LP Version:

Graham Nash – Be Yourself [1971 Demo] Lyrics

How does it feel
When life doesn’t seem real
And you’re floating about on your own
Life seems uncertain
So you draw the curtain
Pretending there’s nobody home

Don’t theorize
Look in your eyes
They can’t tell lies
Though you disguise what you see
Your reality

We needed a saviour
And by our behaviour
The ones that were worth it are gone
But song birds are talking
And runners are walking
A prodigal son’s coming home

Don’t theorize
Look in his eyes
And they won’t tell lies
But if he defies what you see
Here is the key

Be yourself
Why don’t you be yourself
Come on and be yourself
Why don’t you be…

He needed a tutor
So built a computer
And programmed himself not to see
The truth and the lying
The dead or the dying
There is only one way to be

So don’t theorize
Look in his eyes
Are they telling lies
The ones that you see on T.V.
So you want to be free

Be yourself
Why don’t you be yourself
Come on and be yourself
Why don’t you be yourself
Oh, be yourself
Come on and be yourself
Why don’t you be yourself

Jon Crosby (VAST) – When We First Met Lyrics:

She came home two hours after she said
Butterflies in me turned to fire instead
Please don’t tell me what went wrong my love
Do you remember how it was when we first met

Kiss my lips before they go away
Let me kiss your lips while they’re still mine
Please don’t tell me what went wrong my love
Do you remember how it was when we first met

Your friends are worse liars than you
And there’s no flowers bright enough to change my mind

I will walk alone and filled with pain
She has left a letter I won’t read
I won’t think of what went wrong my love
I’ll only think of how it was when we first met

I’d forgotten how good it was, and how addictive too. Even though I’ve seen it before, there were a few scenes that I’d completely forgotten about. Unfortunately, I haven’t been getting much sleep lately… not sure if it’s because of the series or just a coincidence. I think Season 2 is out on loan to someone. Gotta get it back. I feel like Charlie needing a fix. Anyway, here’s the song “Wash Away” from the “Tabula Rasa” episode of LOST: Season 1.
