The Traveling Wilburys was composed of George Harrison, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne, and Bob Dylan. They were hanging around Dylan's studio one day when George Harrison needed a b-side for a song from his Cloud Nine album. So they recorded one. Warner Brothers thought the song was too good for a b-side, and encouraged George to form a band with his mates and record an album. All of these men shelved their egos for the band. Each one took a new identity as a Wilbury "brother." Everyone wrote, sang, and produced. And from that came some really phenomenal music. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8s9dmuAKvU&list=AL94UKMTqg-9Bg1USbUuGxN-4yO44sA... THE TRAVELING WILBURYS LYRICS "Handle With Care" Been beat up and battered 'round Been sent up, and I've been shot down You're the best thing that I've ever found Handle me with care Reputations changeable Situations tolerable But baby, you're adorable Handle me with care I'm so tired of being lonely I still have some love to give Won't you show me that you really care Everybody's got somebody to lean on Put your body next to mine, and dream on I've been fobbed off, and I've been fooled I've been robbed and ridiculed In day care centers and night schools Handle me with care [Guitar Solo] Been stuck in airports, terrorized Sent to meetings, hypnotized Overexposed, commercialized Handle me with care I'm so tired of being lonely I still have some love to give Won't you show me that you really care Everybody's got somebody to lean on Put your body next to mine, and dream on I've been uptight and made a mess But I'll clean it up myself, I guess Oh, the sweet smell of success Handle me with care |
