Harrison, George - Faster Lyrics






Chose a life in circuses
Jumped into the deepest end
Pushing himself to all extremes
Made it - people became his friend.

Now they stood and noticed him
Wanted to be part of it
Pulled out some poor machinery
So he worked 'til the pieces fit.

The people were intrigued
His wife held back her fears
The headlines gave acclaim
He'd realized their dreams.

Faster than a bullet from a gun
He is faster than everyone
Quicker than the blinking of an eye
Like a flash you could miss him going by
No one knows quite how he does it but it's true they say
He's the master of going faster.

Now he moved into the space
That the special people share
Right on the edge of do or die
Where there is nothing left to spare.

Still the crowds came pouring in
Some had hoped to see him fail
Filling their hearts with jealousies
Crazy people with love so frail.

The people were intrigued
His wife held back her fears
The headlines gave acclaim
He'd realized their dreams.

Faster than a bullet from a gun
He is faster than everyone
Quicker than the blinking of an eye
Like a flash you could miss him going by
No one knows quite how he does it but it's true they say
He's the master of going faster.

No need to wonder why
His wife held back her fears
So few have even tried
To realize their dreams.
Faster than a bullet . . . [repeat chorus]

    Dedicated to the memory of Ronnie Peterson, who died following a crash in the italian grand prix 1978.

  2. O.... S....

    How could someone dislike this amazing song?

  3. s.... b....

    Whatever about the song, that’s a bad ass jacket George is wearing.

  4. N.... S....

    Happy Birthday George we love you💜🕉

  5. t.... ....

  6. L.... S....

    Always my favorite Beatle

  8. J.... O....

    George was a regular visitor to the British Grand Prix. He gave a lot of support to Damon Hill when he became World Champion in 1996. In an interview not long after George's death Damon spoke very highly of him

  9. D.... M....

    George used to come to Grand Prix in Montreal. An aquaintance of my wife met him in PVM looking for a tie. John had re ently been shot and George was nervous cause he was going to NYC.

  10. v.... B....

    Adults: Drive slowly and carefully.
    George: *DRIVE FASTER THAN A BULLET OF A GUN!!!*

    Jackie Stewart was driving Jim McKay around for an ABC Wide World of Sports feature and sez, "Feel the sway of the car McKay, that's the true thrill of Grand Prix racin'." Classic!

  13. m.... ....

    Perhaps not George’s best number.

  14. D.... K....

    He’s the master of writing catchy songs

  15. R.... C....

  16. T.... H....

    THAT"S WHAT SHE SAID

  17. D.... R....

    Did this video ever air on MTV or VH1?

  18. �.... ....

    これはアルバム、ジョージ・ハリスン(1979 年)に収録されていた曲。ジョージ・ハリスンがF- 1 が好きだったので、作ったと思われる❗PV でジャッキー・スチュアートがタクシー運転手をやっている。
    英国ではF- 1 レースのテレビ番組に使われた。あの当時レース中に事故で亡くなったロニー・ピーターソン、その他のドライバーに捧げると表記されていた❗広島、のぶ😘

  19. T.... ....

    Look at that, Jackie Stewart is driving George Harrison's limousine. There's something. Gorge Harrison has touched people around the world in all walks of life and in all different pursuits.

  20. a.... ....

    I love this man.

  21. m.... p....

    Seatbelts optional

  22. L.... M....

    The best quote of Mr Harrison! If you had to be in a rock and roll band,it might have well as been the Beatles. Such a brilliant understated thing to say.

  23. S.... R....

    George Forever

  24. j.... f....

    One of the most contradictory aspects of George was his love of fast cars - sometimes he was a danger to himself and the rest of the road using population. Still miss him a lot though.

  25. J.... C....

    Not crazy about the song but hey,it's George Harrison so I had to check it out.Great video though

  26. R.... J....

    rest in peace

  27. L.... L....

    ,,no es un buen momento de George!!

  28. V.... D....

    0:24 old interlagos

  29. H.... B....

    I have been a Beatles fan since 1964, went off them for a few years during the late 70s 80s jumped back on board. Now I have not stopped playing their songs, and lately pretty much non stop. Realising all those years missing out. When I read about the rubbish concerning Oasis being like the Beatles give me a break, they are rude obnoxious twits. 😎✌️

  30. I.... N....

    Never noticed George has a hump🤔🤔
    у нього горб!

  31. T.... B....

    ‘Right on the edge of do or die. He’s the master of going faster.’ Have never heard this marvelous song by George, I like a lot.

  32. T.... ....

    Nice and early

  33. R.... F....

    3:13 There's George!

  34. V.... ....

    Sublime in the pocket drumming by the legend Andy Newmark.

  35. o.... o....

    Tom Hanks at 2:12 there. Excellent Tom, excellent.

  36. O.... M....

    Canção M-A-R-A-V-I-L-H-O-S-A, eu sempre ouço.

  37. D.... G....

    George was Emerson Fittipaldi ( Brazil) Fan/

  38. D.... N....

    This song reminds me of Ding Dong

  39. j.... j....

    When a legend drives around a bigger legend. RIP George Harrison the world misses you

  40. t.... d....

    The tune is completely original - so George with those time changes.

  41. A.... G....

    I don't see how George does 160 while strumming rhythm guitar, multi talented.

  42. G.... E....

    Mr George Harrison. Its good

  43. J.... W....

    Sir Jackie Stewart.

  44. E.... D....

    Can anybody tell me the drivers in order

  45. W.... L....

    back in time as formula 1 and music was real....

  46. s.... ....

    Более неудачного сочетания музыки и видеоряда я ещё не видел у битлов.

  47. G.... B....

    Terrible song, from the man who literally was THE George Harrison of The Beatles.

  48. E.... C....

    Aparece el galvez autodromo de bs.as .hoy barrio riachuelo.epocas que valia la pena la f1!!

  49. A.... B....

    Quien 2019?

  50. a.... ....

    George: *pulls out guitar* and heres just a little something i've been working on heh take a listen
    Driver: Sir this is a NASCAR race
    George:
    Driver: How did you get into the car

  51. S.... S....

    My man, could write a song about brushing your teeth and I'd love it.

  52. D.... B....

    George Harrison came up with the title for the song "Drive My Car". How fitting.

    D.... B....

    He said he helped a lot with the arrangement to the song. I can't find any quote of George's[or Paul] where he takes credit for the title.

    D.... B....

    @EmileGilbert It was a joke.

    D.... B....

    @Dallas Brubaker Judging from the camera angle, I really hope he's sitting in an English car. (That's also a kind of joke, but accurate as well.)

  53. H.... H....

    And in case you didn’t know, Here Come’s the Sun is the lead single from the number one album in the world, right now in 2019.

    H.... H....

    Boois Hoois they just re-released Abbey Road for the 50th anniversary. It’s the number one album in the world right now.

    H.... H....

    @zdave 608 But it upset George that Sinatra introduced it as a Lennon/McCartney song.

    H.... H....

    @zdave 608 but Paul's Yesterday is the most covered song in all of music history.

    H.... H....

    @zdave 608 I'm not sure if he sang others too but he did sing Yesterday on the album My Way in 1969.

    H.... H....

    Everytime I see the sun setting and I'm quite alone, I sing his song as a goodbye and wish for a sunny following day. Somehow I have connected George with the sun and sunflowers, so it's kinda calming to think that George watches you all day long and replaced by the moon at nights. He will be forever missed :(

  54. B.... ....

    My favorite video by a Beatle so far

  55. J.... N....

    George harrison ! Hare krishna ! Namaste ✌🕉☮🙏

  56. M.... ....

    His songs of the Beatles all had a kind of tension but it was all lost in his solo time. Paul's songs are all like that after the Beatles. Maybe competition among members was the driving force for vital songs.

  57. E.... G....

    I don't even like F1, but this song is so ubderrated and exciting!

  58. J.... W....

    Miss his beautiful and unmistakable guitar.

  59. J.... ....

    rFactor, anyone?

  60. W.... d....

    Interlagos no inicio, não tem pra ninguém

  61. W.... B....

    There are certain people in this life who it seems were sent here to play a significant supporting role for others whose life skills might initially appear larger, thereby elevating them in status, making them more noticable and appearing to be more talented than they actually were. In the case of the Beatles, that individual was George Harrison.

  62. V.... ....

    Rip Hubert

  63. D.... t....

    His chauffeur is Jackie Stewart lol

  64. I.... l....

    400 btw beautiful song love a and peace George

  65. a.... ....

    This song is dedicated to Ronnie Peterson! <3

    a.... ....

    WRONG. Dedicated to Gunnar Nilsson

  66. Z.... ....

    Rip Ronnie Peterson and Gunnar Nilsson.

  67. P.... C....

    Well you know, 11 seconds.

  68. J.... K....

    Jackie Stewart!!! :-)

  69. A.... m....

    EMERSON

  70. b.... d....

  71. N.... H....

    F1 + The Beatles (well, Beatle) - doesn't get much better than that!

  72. B.... s....

  73. J.... W....

    3:14 Ronnie and Mario

  74. R.... C....

    NUNCA HABÍA VISTO LOS VÍDEOS DE HARRISON, SON GENIALES!!!

  75. k.... ....

    When I was a teenager, I really liked "Faster", because as an introspective kid I could appreciate the song as George's metaphor for his own life. Despite all the fame he'd achieved ("chose a life in circuses"), people didn't understand that his goal was still all about self-improvement ("pulled out some poor machinery, worked til the pieces fit"), but that was okay.

    ... years later, I learned the song was literally about how George Harrison liked watching car races.

    k.... ....

    It was Actually about Gunnar Nilsson. and dedicated to him. after his death in 1978.

    k.... ....

    Not gonna lie he had us in the first half

  76. D.... A....

    rest in peace niki lauda

  77. n.... r....

    George Harrisons my favourite Beatle followed by John Lennon.

  78. s.... m....

    George could have dedicated this song to Villeneuve, the great incarnation of the word ''Faster''.
    "I’ll miss Gilles for two reasons. First, he was the most genuine man I have ever known. Second, he was the fastest racing driver in the history of motor racing.'' Jody Scheckter. Nothing to add.

  79. S.... S....

    When Motor Racing was for real men. So many greats in the video up with George in Heaven. RIP ALL

  80. J.... W....

    R.I.P. Ronnie.

    @Magnolia Trees in the Meadow Hmm...I didn't say that it wasn't one of his 'better' songs; I said that it wasn't one of his 'better-known' songs.

  88. T.... g....

    I wish I found this song earlier, it’s so good.

  91. D.... D....

    RIP Niki Lauda. First time I heard this song. (I read this song is about Jackie Stewart).

    D.... D....

    The song was inspired by Stewart and Niki Lauda, but was in fact released to aid the "Gunnar Nilsson Cancer Fund". Gunnar Nilsson was a Swedish motor racer who died of cancer in 1978. "Inspired by Jackie Stewart and Niki Lauda, and dedicated to the Entire Formula One Circus" and "Special thanks to Jody Scheckter" plus, "In Memory of Ronnie Peterson" at the bottom of the page: http://www.jpgr.co.uk/k17423.html
