Lyrics:Free Me [Version (a)]:
Can anybody free me?
Can anybody free me?
I need to be released
Can I be released
Said hey hey hey
He he he
Ha ha ha
Ho ho ho
It's a hole in the world
I can't fill it alone
There's a hole in the world
I can't fill it alone
Said hey hey hey
He he he
Ha ha ha
Said ho ho ho
There's a hole in the world
I can't fill it alone
Can you help me feel it?
Can you help me fill it?
I need to fill it
With ? bones
Astrodomes
?? domes
I need to fill it with UFOs
Sticks and stones
I'm all alone
Can you help me fill it?
Can you help me fill it?
Yes you can
Can you help me fill it?
'Cause it's...
The Song:Beck performed "Free Me" live twice in September 2013. It was a call-and-response rock song (performed with a big soul gospel choir). The song was likely written for the shows specifically. It allows Beck and the choir to let loose a bit too, as it feels slightly improvised. Though both nights it was pretty much identical, so that looseness was probably the intent.
A little bit of the song morphed into "
Saw Lightning."
