Harrison wrote “Someplace Else” for the 1986 film Shanghai Surprise, then re-recorded it with Jeff Lynne (and without string arrangements by Michael Kamen) and included it on his 1987 album Cloud Nine. The title was inspired by a line from the film:
Miss Tatlock, do you ever wonder about what might...
[Verse 1]
(Someplace else)
You got into my life
I don't know how you found me but you did
It stopped me heading someplace else
Took me a while to say, wish you belong to me
But now I'm saddened like I've never been
Regretting that we'll leave
[Pre-Chorus]
And for a while, you could comfort me
And hold me for some time
I need you now, to be beside me
While all my world is so untidy
[Chorus]
Loneliness
Empty faces
Wish I could leave them all
In someplace else
(Someplace else)
[Verse 2]
I hope you won't let go, maybe you'll let me know
That you'll be saddened like you've never been
Regretting that we'll leave
[Pre-Chorus]
And for a while, I could comfort you
And hold you in my mind
I need you now to be beside me
While all my world is sad and crazy
[Chorus]
Loneliness
Empty faces
Wish I could leave them all
In someplace else
[Guitar Solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
And for a while, you could comfort me
And hold me for some time
I need you now, to be beside me
While all my world is so untidy
[Chorus]
Loneliness
Empty faces
Wish I could leave them all
In someplace else
Loneliness
Empty faces
Wish I could leave them all
In someplace else
(Someplace else)
[Outro]
I think I'm going to leave them all
In someplace else
(Someplace else)

In the liner notes for the 2004 reissue of Cloud Nine, Harrison shared:
I did write [“Someplace Else”] specifically at the request of the producer of the Madonna movie [Shanghai Surprise] and it was the love song for the naughty couple … For that particular song, there’s a scene where, I think she...
