It works for me. I say, are we derailing this thread?...

However, @Beatlebug, the lyric only gets one word wrong. If you look just above the first chords it says it's:

HANDLE WITH CARE by Jenny Lewis (originally done by The Travelling Wilburys)

Here is the Jenny Lewis cover of the song. She doesn't sing "f*cked up", but she does sing "f*cked off":

Two things, well three on the above cover. 

1. Why change the lyric to include a swear word when it makes less sense and sounds stupid and pointless? Does swearing make you more cool and happening to the teen market?

2. Why the drum track which is totally out of place?

3. How on earth did they make it such a dull track? The vocals are so bland they make it so utterly boring a listen and the whole just sounds so plastic and empty. 

I dont think the original is an outstanding track but at least its got energy and the vocals have feeling and soul; you can hear the relief in George when he sings and Roy as well when he's at the mic. The cover has none of that, its just meh. It sounds like they were told "cover this track" and they did but wanted it over as quickly as possible.

Maybe thats four. Its certainly off-topic.

This isn't a lyric, but credits for Taxman  found here.

We know the credits; Writer: George Harrison ; Copyright: Sony/ATV Tunes LLC.

Well, look at what's offered here, and can anyone explain why?

I listened to exactly fifty-seven seconds and I was done. Going to listen to the original to cleanse my brain. *zzzzzz*

Is Google deteriorating?  It seems more and more when I look up lyrics (not just to Beatles songs but others too) the lyrics they officially post are filled with errors.  See screenshot for the latest fiasco search result.

I've noiticed this since around 2023. Sometimes google gives you the wrong song entirely or gives you the lyircs to a demo version. And with some songs it won't bring the lyrics up. Like for example it doesn't bring up the lyrics to Yesterday at all it just gives you websites with the lyrics.

It's only been getting worse. I also notice it with other platforms like youtube music (which is owned by google) giving the wrong lyrics or no lyrics at all. So annoying.

About the Ai thing, I've figured out that adding profanity to the search prompt gets rid of the Ai summary, at least for now.

We had multiple threads on this topic so I pulled them together. 

And if you didn't know why Joe doesn't have the lyrics on his site, see this thread https://www.beatlesbible.com/f.....the-bible/

I remember a conversation about lyrics being wrong on some songs on McCartney's official site mccartney-shrug_01_gif

Just a bit of a derail...but I have to help Forumpudlians out when I get a chance. 

To get rid of AI results when you do a Google search, put -ai at the end of your search words.

@Sea Belt I’ve noticed that sometimes the published AI lyrics represent the last version of the song released; i.e. from Anthology or deluxe anniversary releases. The She Said She Said lyrics you posted appear to be from John’s original demo which was included on the Revolver : Special Edition release in 2022. I think the songwriting was still a work in progress.ahdn_john_08_gif

It's good to know that Lennon came up with "trousers are torn" a-hard-days-night-john-6

It's still weird for Google to produce that on as the first search result.

I recognize those bolded names as members of Saga, Canada's longtime (1970s-present) prog-rock band, but I don't know where the "Taxman " connection comes in (nor Junior Parker's credit). Maybe they've released a live recording of a medley of "Taxman ", mixed in with a Junior Parker number and one of their own songs. 

I'm sure five more minutes of web searching would reveal more...maybe I'll do that later and update
