Lyrics:
The ego does not go where there is nothing to gain
The ego does not know life without pain
The ego does not go where there is nothing to gain
The ego does not know life without pain

Notes:
One of the more typical FSOL type pieces on the album, Guru Song is a short sitar-layered breakbeat piece. The Abbey Road version is quite a bit longer, with a female vocal, whilst the final mix is shorter, instrumental and features some heavy phasing in the middle. The track was "recovered from" initial mono recordings of
The Peppermint Tree, and the sitar and bird sounds are the same as those found in that song.
