Across The Universe Lyrics
Artist(Band):The Beatles
Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup,
They slither while they pass ,they slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my open mind,
Possessing and caressing me.
Jai guru deva, om
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes,
They call me on and on across the universe,
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box
They tumble blindly as they make their way
Across the universe
Jai guru deva, om,
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Sounds of laughter shades of life are ringing
Through my opened ears inciting and inviting me
Limitless undying Love which shines around me like a
million suns, It calls me on and on
Across the universe
Jai guru deva, om,
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Jai guru deva
Jai guru deva
Jai guru deva
Jai guru deva

Review about Across The Universe
Now I understand...! | Reviewer: Chris | 8/16/2008
Across the Universe has been one of my favourite Beatles/John Lennon songs since I bought the Let It Be album the day it was released. But I could never get all the lyrics. I finally had the idea to google for them - and found this site. I previously assumed that "Jai Guru Deva Om" was a slurred "Like a new-oo day a". Now I finally understand it's just another nonsense lyric to fill out the tune. All is finally explained.
CORRECTION* | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/14/2008
Om cannot easily be translated as a single English word. It is used as the most sacred word in Indian thought. It represents the birth growth and death of the Cosmos. It is also the Vibration / sound of the Cosmos literaly.If you could step outside the Universe and listen to it that is what you would hear. The Yogis hear this in deep meditation. One way of thinking of OM would be Alpha-Omega. From OM all the English words like Omniscience, Omnipresence are derived from. Deva means Divine , this is where the English word divinity comes from. Do you see the Sanskrit roots that have shaped our English words?
no | Reviewer: beatles fan | 7/31/2008
to correct the comment below mine-
jai guru deva om does NOT mean "nothing's gonna change my world." it is a chant. jai guru deva means like "Victory to God" and then "om" can't really be translated to english, but it's a word that is used in meditation and stuff.
...please | Reviewer: Gianni | 4/16/2008
If your going to talk about how great this song is, and all that, get the lyrics right..."They slither wildly as they slip away"...
And Jai Guru Deva Om means...
Nothings going to change my world...
For those who don't understand...
yes it's true | Reviewer: carly | 2/27/2008
On the soundtrack of Across The Universe and on the movie he says "They slither while they pass they slip away." but the original song (which I just listened to on I-tunes)he says "they slither wildly as they make there way across the universe" so therefore I think it's not such a crime because they changed a few words...
Nothings going to change my world | Reviewer: ec! | 2/25/2008
Does it really matter what the exact lyrics are? I mean seriously. You hear it the way you want to, not the way somebody else wants you to. Just listen, and think of it your own way.
And yes I'm one of those people who watched Across the Universe and fell in love with the Beatles. I really don't think it should matter how you became to like them.
Such a good song though! Kudos!
What the?? | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/16/2008
This is probably the worst attempt at transcribing lyrics I have ever seen. There are plenty mistakes, as people have pointed out... but where the Hell did they get "James gonna devive, them,"??? I've always known it as "Jai guru deva om"
Anyway, with that said, this is such a great song.
Lyrics | Reviewer: Jet | 2/9/2008
I've heard "They slither as they pass they slip away" and "They slither wildy as they slip away". Actually, the latter is very distinct on Bowie's cover. I don't listen to the Beatles much, but this is an outstanding song. Lyrical genius.
nothings gonna change YOUR world | Reviewer: lennon | 1/12/2008
remarkable.
whatever you want to sing,
sing it with your heart, what does it matter if you get the lyrics right or wrong, if you have good intent. Its going to be okay whether you say they slither widly as they slip away or slither while they pass.. maybe its all wrong.. but its still the beatles.
straight from Liverpool | Reviewer: liz | 1/7/2008
the lyrics are definitely "they slither wildy as they slip away across the universe". don't think that just because it's on the soundtrack of the movie, that it makes it right. the songs on the movie may be Beatles songs, but the members of the band didn't make the movie, and they didn't record the songs all over again just for the movie that they didn't make. that would be a little difficult considering the fact that two of my personal favourites are making music in heaven now. may John and George's souls rest in peace..
