George Harrison - Someplace Else (Cloud Nine Version)

This is the album version of "Someplace Else" by legendary Beatle "George Harrison". The original version of this song appeared on the soundtrack to the 1986 film Shanghai Surprise (starring Madonna & Sean Penn). It was later re-recorded and produced by ELO (Electric Light Orchestra) frontman "Jeff Lynne" for Harrison's 1987 album "Cloud Nine".

Although never released as a single and with no original video as such (for the album version) the track remains a huge favourite amongst fans. So as a tribute to this remarkable mans talents we have pieced together some promotional footage taken from the motion picture to form our own unique attempt at a clip to go with this beautiful version of a Harrison classic.

We hope you enjoy & RIP George.

Cloud Nine was a successful 1987 comeback album by George Harrison, recorded and released after a five year hiatus from his recording career. As home to the smash hit "Got My Mind Set on You", Cloud Nine re-established Harrison as a critically-acclaimed and commercially-significant recording artist. It was also George Harrison's final studio album released in his lifetime.

"Bust my back on the Levy - broke my strings on the BBC
Found my chops on Eel Pie Island - paid my dues at the Marquee
Slagged off by the N.M.E. - lost my stash and my virginity
In this Cockamamie Business

Got my face on Ed Sullivan - broke my heart on the Soul Train
Introduced to Bad Company - lost cells down at Brain Drain
And before I could mend - lost the missus, missed the girlfriend
In this Cockamamie Business

Now we like to air condition - though the air has no ozone ring
Still they're chopping down the forest for McDonalds and the Burger King
Eating cows with such persistance - doesn't offer much resistance
To this Cockamamie Business

There are too many things - stressing out the nervous system
Girls you used to know - fellas that may have kissed'em
Some got rabies - Some got fleas - some got incurable diseases
From this Cockamamie Business

Everybody's after as many points as they can get
As long as it's not them that has to pay
No one really minds the Debt
5-Star actors, tax inspectors, film producers and directors
With their Cockamamie Business

Well you do what you can - can't do much more than that
(No you can't do what he just said)
Some days you're pretty sharp - on other days you feel half dead
(While you make your daily bread)
Didn't want to be a star - wanted just to play guitar
In this Cockamamie Business"
