JOHN 1972: 'I remember (Beatles music publisher) Dick James coming up to me after we did this one and saying, 'You're getting better now – that was a complete story.' Apparently, before that, he thought my songs wandered off.'JOHN 1980: 'That's my song. That's the one where Dick James the publisher said, 'That's the first complete song you've written that resloves itself,' you know, with a complete story. It was sort of my version of 'Silhouettes.' (sings) 'Silhouettes, silhouettes, silhouettes…' I had that image of walking down the street and seeing her silhouetted in the window and not answering the phone, although I never called a girl on the phone in my life. Because phones weren't part of the English child's life.'PAUL circa-1994: 'We wrote 'No Reply' together but from a strong original idea of his. I think he pretty much had that one, but as usual, if he didn't have a third verse and the middle-eight, then he'd play it to me pretty much formed. Then we'd shove a bit in the middle or I'd throw in an idea.' This happened once before When I came to your door No reply They said it wasn't you But I saw you peep through your windowI saw the light, I saw the light I know that you saw me As I looked up to see your faceI tried to telephone They said you were not home That's a lie 'Cause I know where you've been I saw you walk in your doorI nearly died, I nearly died 'Cause you walked hand in hand With another man in my placeIf I were you I'd realize that I Love you more than any other guy And I'll forgive the lies that I Heard before when you gave me no replyI've tried to telephone They said you were not home That's a lie 'Cause I know where you've been I saw you walk in your doorI nearly died, I nearly died 'Cause you walked hand in hand With another man in my placeNo reply, no reply JOHN 1980: 'That's me in my Dylan period. Part of me suspects I'm a loser, and part of me thinks I'm God almighty.' (laughs) PAUL circa-1994: 'We used to listen to alot of country and western songs and they were all about sadness and 'I lost my truck' so it was quite acceptable to sing 'I'm a loser.' You really didn't think about it at the time, it's only later you'd think, God! That was pretty brave of John. I'm a loser I'm a loser And I'm not what I appear to beOf all the love I have won or have lost There is one love I should never have crossed She was a girl in a million, my friend I should have known she would win in the endI'm a loser And I lost someone who's near to me I'm a loser And I'm not what I appear to beAlthough I laugh and I act like a clown Beneath this mask I am wearing a frown My tears are falling like rain from the sky Is it for her or myself that I cryI'm a loser And I lost someone who's near to me I'm a loser And I'm not what I appear to beWhat have I done to deserve such a fate I realize I have left it too late And so it's true, pride comes before a fall I'm telling you so that you won't lose allI'm a loser And I lost someone who's near to me I'm a loser And I'm not what I appear to be Rock and Roll Music (Chuck Berry) Just let me hear some of that rock and roll music Any old way you choose it It's got a back beat, you can't lose it Any old time you use it It's gotta be rock and roll music If you wanna dance with me If you wanna dance with meI've got no kick against modern jazz Unless they try to play it too darn fast And lose the beauty of the melody Until they sound just like a symphonyThat's why I go for that that rock and roll music Any old way you choose it It's got a back beat, you can't lose it Any old time you use it It's gotta be rock and roll music If you wanna dance with me If you wanna dance with meI took my loved one over across the tracks So she can hear my man awail a sax I must admit they have a rocking band Man, they were blowing like a hurricaneThat's why I go for that that rock and roll music Any old way you choose it It's got a back beat, you can't lose it Any old time you use it It's gotta be rock and roll music If you wanna dance with me If you wanna dance with meWay down South they had a jubilee The jokey folks they had a jamboree They're drinking home brew from a water cup The folks dancing there are all shook upAnd started playing that that rock and roll music Any old time you use it It's got a back beat, you can't lose it Any old time you use it It's gotta be rock and roll music If you wanna dance with me If you wanna dance with meDon't care to hear them play a tango And In the Mood they take a mambo It's way to early for a congo So keep a rocking that pianoThat's why I go for that that rock and roll music Any old time you use it It's got a back beat, you can't lose it Any old time you use it Gotta be rock and roll music If you wanna dance with me If you wanna dance with me JOHN 1972: 'Both of us wrote it. I think we wrote this when we were trying to write the title song for 'Help!' because there was at one time the thought of calling the film, 'Eight Arms To Hold You.''JOHN 1980: 'Eight Days A Week' was never a good song. We struggled to record it and struggled to make it into a song. It was his (Paul's) initial effort, but I think we both worked on it. I'm not sure. But it was lousy anyway.'PAUL 1984: 'Yeah, he (Ringo) said it as though he were an overworked chauffeur: (in heavy accent) 'Eight days a week.' (Laughter) When we heard it, we said, 'Really? Bing! Got it!'' (Laughs) Ooh, I need your love, babe Guess you know it's true Hope you need my love, babe Just like I need youHold me, love me, hold me, love me Ain't got nothing but love, babe Eight days a week.Love you every day, girl Always on my mind One thing I can say, girl Love you all the timeHold me, love me, hold me, love me Ain't got nothing but love, girl Eight days a week.Eight days a week I love you Eight days a week Is not enough to show I careOoh, I need your love, babe Guess you know it's true Hope you need my love, babe Just like I need youHold me, love me, hold me, love me Ain't got nothing but love, babe Eight days a weekEight days a week I love you Eight days a week Is not enough to show I careLove you every day, girl Always on my mind One thing I can say, girl Love you all the timeHold me, love me, hold me, love me Ain't got nothing but love, babe Eight days a week Eight days a week Eight days a week |
