Nothing has been proved

Download live in 89 version

Mandy's in the papers 'cause she tried to go Spain

She'll soon be in the dock and in the papers once again.
Vicki's got her story about the mirror and the cane

It may be false
it may be true
but nothing has been proved.

Stephen's in his dressin-gown now
breakfasting alone

Too sick to eat
he's on his feet and to the telephone.
The police inspector soothes him with his sympathetic tone

It may be false
it may be true
but nothing has been proved.

In the house a resignation
guilty faces
every one

Christine's fallen out with Lucky
Johnny's got a gun.
Please please me's
number one.
Now Stephen's in the dock for spending money
that was earned by Christine.
And the prosecution says
that money burned a hole in Stephen's pocket
For expensive sins he yearned
-
It may be false
it may be true
but nothing has been proved.

In the news the suicide note
in the court an empty space

Even Mandy's looking worried
Christine's pale and dawn.
Please please me
's number one.

Last night he wrote these words to his friend:
Sorry about the mess,I'm guilty 'til proved innocent in the
public eye and press.
The funeral's very quiet because all his friends have fled

They may be false
they may be true

They've all got better things to do.
They may be false
they may be true

But nothing has been proved
nothing has been proved.

Dylan

"I made a bargain with it a long time ago. And I'm holding up my end." Asked with whom he had made the bargain, he explained: "With the chief commander. In this earth and in the world we can't see."

Burnt by being hailed in his twenties as a new messiah and hounded by fans who invaded his home - the Woodstock sheriff warned him that if any of the fans camped on his roof fell off, he would be held liable for their injuries - Dylan became a recluse.

His last album, Love and Theft, released four years ago, sold just 7,300 copies until it won a Grammy, when the publicity added another 10,000.

No Direction Home - the Martin Scorcese documentary will be broadcast in Spetember by the BBC. DVD and soundtrack to follow
